A CHAPTER IN THE Book OF CHRONICLE
I. And it come to pass after these things that
King Franklin, the First, in the third year of
his reign, appointed one John, whose surname
Was Wheeler, to the Office Of Ambassador TO
the land of Nicaragua.
2. And John had bondwoman, whose name
wns Jane, and he said will take her with me
that she may serve me whithersoever co.
8. And he departed, taking with him Jane
and her two cons. and went unto Philadelphia,
intending to sail for Nicaragua
Now IN the county where Philadelphia is
there IS no slavery, and every one coming there
is free.
5. Now there lived in the city Of Philadelphia

IN the CITY,. determined to release her, and he
went unto her and told her that she was free.
I. And John was angry, and would not lei
him have Jane, but he feared the people.
.: And Jane departed norhward to the city
OF New York, and when John saw he could not
obtain her, he was wroth with Passmore, and
said unto himself will be revenged.
Now, there was in that city an unjust and
unrlghteous Judge, whose name was Cain, aud
John went unto him and complained of Pass.
more, saying, he has robbed me of my servants.
10. Then Cain issued decree requiring Pass.
more to bring Jane and her sons before him;
and Passmore came forward and swore that
they were not in his possession.
II. Then Cain charged him with contempt
and perjury, and shut him up in prison.
II. And the Lord said unto Cain, sWhere is
thy brother! and he answered, sAm my broth
ei's keeper!' 80.
13. And the Lord said, sThe voice Of thy

FEMALE JocKEYs.--At recent horse race
in Doylestown, Pa, twelve females, each
mounted on sssporting horse," entered the
list for thaprize. Among these were three
circus women from Philadelphia. They tart
ed and made the race in the presence of thir-
ty thousand people.
The FIRST premium was awarded to Miss
Mary Ann Roberts, of Doylestown, Pa, the
second to Mrs. Aaron, of Norristown, Pa,
and the third to Mrs. jenkins, of Montgome-
ry Square.
Commenting on the proceedings, the Buff
falo remarks:
What comment upon the taste-the mod
esty-the morality of the times. Here are
twelve females-the wonder and admiration
of the gaping multitude of race course,
when they should have been ad.rning twelve
households with the dignity Of modest refine
ment. lswould have been far better for them
had they been engaged that afternoon over
twelve wash-subs, rather than riding twelve
horses in heat over q race course surround
ed BY vile men and imprudent women. This
is kind of progress which bodies no good to
| a refined and moral toned society. When our
mothers, daughters and sisters turn horse
racers and gamblers, their intluence upon the
generations tha, follow will be such as to gil
the earth witt ail manner. Of iniquity.

The City Council and Perry Company.

u IL
/ The ordinances passed BY the city au.
thorities and the numerous yexatious or
dcrs in regard to the landing Of the Ferry
Boat, seem to have arisen from an effort
to compel the Company to pay $500 Ii
cense, when they already have one, yet hav-
| ing several years to run. The company, ,as
We understand, are not disposed to be
contentious or to litigate any matters that
can be arranged in any other way They say
they are ferrying for less price than any
other point along the river, and object to
paying the enormous license demanded, es-
pecially as they are protected by con-
tract of the city authorities, which cannot
be repudiated and which yet has two or
more years to run. But Notwithstanding
this license they are willing, for the sake
of peace to pay as high license as is col
lected at any other point above or below.
This looks very fair.
The ferry company assert that there is
not sufficient water any where above Wash
ington street, to enable them to land. That
they have attempted it and got aground,
and were driven to their present point.
It is to be hoped this matter will yet be
arranged. An attempt to coerce the COM
pany into the payment of FIVE hundred dol
lars should not put all passengers arriving
here to the annoyance of being set off in
the mud, in the night time, most of them.
half mile above our hotels. Such ar
rangement is also very annoying to our
citizens, whose pride is thus mortified. It
is also matter of much inconvenience to
all persons doing business on the other
side of the river, or who have to 90 there
for goods or to deposite goods. While it
is not the smallest annoyance to the Ferry
Company, enabling them to cross at less
expense of fuel, the distance being less
than from the foot of, Jefferson street.
If the city council are as ready to do
what is right as the Ferry company appear
to be, there will be no trouble in arrang-
ing this matter. Andw sincerely hope it
will be, and that speedily.

chased the iron for our road hence to Mt.

The first will probably arrive in some two

HoGs.-The Cincinnati Gazette, of late
date, says: eve hear of no movement in
the market for hogs. Packers are not de-
sirous to make contracts, except to very
limited extent and for early delivery. Hogs
for December are freely offered at Sc net,
without finding purchasers. The exces-
sively large growing crop Of corn, with the
prospective high price Of hogs, is expectad
to produce an amount of meat in the west
larger than last year, Notwithstanding the
deficiency that is supposed to exist in the
supply Of stock hogs.

These few days we've had heavy cleary
weather, made up of frequent pouring
showers, smart chance of drizzling and a
very small sprinkling ofsun-shine. Nota
desirable atmosphere, even with full
purse and we'll going business. But all
these things, together with an annoyance,
which is the cause of this note to you,
have combined to steal few moments,
which had otherwise been consecrated to

comfortably evident to all Burlington Pc
destrians. Have we got no City regula-
tions? Have we got no City Officers? If
we have such officers let them be taught
the A B G, of the City Ordinances, and
then let it be required that at least one
man be ION the ground and teach coun-
try men and others, that although tits very
convenient for them, it is not so for us to
find OK teams, mule teams, carriages, &C.,
&C., posted fora half day at time at all
corners Of the business part of the city,
such things are not tolerated elsewhere,
they need not nor should not be here.
These people should be instructed as to
our object in laying down stone from cor
ner to corner-which WE call crossings
for, really, they so uncerimoniously and
innocently "back up" the potatoe wagon,
"draw up" the long coupled OK team, or
cite up" the carry-all for few hours shop
ping, that one is convinced of an entire abb
sencc Of "malice prepence," it is sheer
Knownothingism. Seriously, this nui-
sance is so universal and of so long stand
ing that it should be abated.
Mr.. EDITOR, just imagine yourself on
business tour in the city, in a wet spell,
(rain and mud) or on a promenade with
your better half in s'dry SPELL" (hot sun
and dust) or with visiting friend in eth
er case, and suppose you have encounter

uncommon thing in short jaunt) say,
