LIST Of April.

The cold, stormy and dsagreeable
month of March is fast gliding away, and
we don't suppose any one regrets lis de-
Ipar,ure, for il has been anything else than
a pleasant month. The beautiful, smiling
month Of April, which some one has poet
icaly denominated ",he month OF smieS
and tears" will soon creep into pace, and
introduce with it many local changes.
Already we notice some OF our streets
CANNED with furniture carts, hurrylng to
and fro, heavily ladened with precious
cargoes of "household and kitchen lurnl-
ture.''
Two removes are as bad as fire, so
pnor Richard says, and we believe in the
soundness of his philosophc teaching.
VIVA, dlsagreeable thing il is to move.
Everything seems 10 90 contrary 10 their
original designs. Wives GET rufiled and
ont of humor children get peevlsh, fret
full and hungry servant girls become Ia
zy as well as angry; husbands, who
ought always superintend on such occa'
sions, soon become tired Of lifting and
shifting, leaves all to his untiring "better'
half while ne goes off to take "horn"
or two to revive his dropping and desPond-
ing spirits.

California Appointment.

The colectorship Of San Francisco has
been conferred upon BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
WAsnINeroN, Esq, formerly of this
County. This is subject of congralu-
laiion TO his numerous friends here. The
position is lucrative one, and for this
reason is far more desirable than mere
political office. Mr.. WASHINGTON, i,
will be recollecied, went 10 California
over the land route in the spring OF ! 349,
eight years ago, with the Charlestown
company, and soon received friendly COLI
siderations from the people OF the State.
lie was last known as the editor Of Dem
ocraic paper in Sacramento. of which
town he was at one time the Recorder.

Shepherdstown ht-Infantry.

This corps met last Saturday, agreea-
bly, 10 Iournmeni, to elect officers, but
no election took place except for Captain
and Orderly Sargent. The company
chose for their commander, Col, John +,
Hamtramck, than whom no better selec-
ton could have possibly been made. A
better drilled officer or more valiant SOL
der the Commonwealth of Virginia Can
not boast Of, and should tie Stale ever re-
quire his services we ale confident he will
respond heartily and cheerfully TO the
call. he was elected unanimously, with
out dissenting voice, when he appeared
in front Of the company, and in neat,
appropriate and purely Southern speech,
(,he sentiments which we heartily ap-
prove Of and endorsel thanked them for
the honor conferred and the confidence
they manifested in him, should they be
called into actual service, 10 lead them on
unerTingIy from conquering to conquest
We congratulate the Light-ln(anry upon
their wise selection.
l.. c. Hcshitt. Esq, was also unani-
mousy chosen Orderly Sargent, and we
are confident he will not abuse the conf
dence rePosed in him, but Will ably dis
charge his arduous duties with cre!h alike
TO himself and the company. Mr.. II. is
very conversant with military tactics, hav-
ing been Orderly Sargent before and we
doubt not will make an efficient and a.
greeable Orderly.
After the selection Of the two most i'm
portant officers, the company marched
through our streets, TO the war-like music
OF the ear-pieycing fife and soul-stirring
drum. We noticed the ranks are fas, FL
ling up, and Judging from tie members
composing the corps, we apprehend moth
ing that augurs failure.
The Infantry again meets to-day, the
29Ih inst, for the purpose Of electing the
other necessary officers. as well as other
important business, and it is quite essen
tial that every member should be at his
post.

Remarkable Longevity.

The Oldest Woma,, in The STATE still
Huing-Aged 10 Teors.-Tbis lady is
now living in York county, Pa. The ed
itor of the Hanover Spectator recently paid
her visit and cleaned from her the follow
ing incidents of her life:
She was born in the neighborhood Of
Hanover, in l747, and has lived 10 the al
most Unprecedented age of one hundred
and ten gears, in this vicinity, never, in
her life, having been beyond the limits OF
the county. She was married TO Andrew
RudeslIl, IN IVA, two years before the
Declaration Of independence was decIar-
ed. After living together AZ years, her
husband died, leaving her widow with
nine children, 6 of whom are living at 4 G
present time, the eldest being Is years
old. The number of grand children is
not as large as one might suppose this is
owing to The fact that the old lady did not
marry until late iE life, anG IN tins respect
it seems her children have initiated her.
She has, however, IL grand children and
90 Observation-Disclosures. There are some
very remarkable circumstances connected
with the history of this aged woman. She
has never taken spoonful of medicine in
her Hfe-has never had the attendance OF
physician-and still is IN possession Of
all her faculties her bearing is somewhat
impaired at this time from the effects OF a
cold. She has read and studied her bible
so constantly, that she has become per.
fectly familiar with its contents, which is
10 her source of pleasure the world can
neither give nor take away. There is d
good moral grandeur in lbOs calmly clio.
sing up life, extended so far beyond tie
ordinary limits of human existence, seldom
met with in a lifetime. Wien we ap.
preached and babe This aged mother in Is
rael farewell, she extended her hand, and

rested on her countenance, indicative OF a
tranquil calmness, given to her By tia

External Injuries, as well as external dis
eases, may be truly SAID to have lost hall
their terrors since the introduction Of HOI-
Ioway's Ointment. The worst bruises

treated successfully with this Ointmertin
the hospitals of London and Paris. The
first dressing subdues inflammation and re-
Iieves pain,and, these symptoms removed,
The process of restoration is rapid almost
beyond credibiIity. ErnPtIons of all
kidns, asthma, humps, Group, sores and

LiberoIity Of Physicians.-lt has al
ways been said that physicians would dis
parge any remedy, however valuable,
which they did not originate themselves
This has been disproven by their liberal
course towards Dr. J. G. Ayers prepare
tons. They have adopted them into gen.
eral ose in their practice, which shows
willingness to cOunienance articles that
have intrinsic merits which deserve their
attention. This does The learned profess
sion great credit, and eflectuaIIy contra
cicts the prevalent erroneous notion that
their opposition TO proprietary remedies
is based IN their interest to discard them.
We have always mad confidence in the
honorable motives of our medical men, land
are glad TO find it sustained by the liberal
welcome they accord to such remedies as

,ru, Co.cuMAN WHO MARRIED HIS
up,ovrR's DAuGHTER.---Ibe n. YORK
Times of Saturday, has the following u
,elation TO the Iaie secret marriage be-
tween daughter of Mr.. Boxer wealthy
merchant: has
finally agreed TO give up his wife for a
time. and accept the peculiar offers OF bis
friends. Yesterday his counsel received
leeuer from Mr.. Boxers lawyer proPo-
sing that Dean sGouId 60 inio one OF ihe
Western cities capital being provided
Inv Mr., Boker--and that he should CON
sent to be separated from his vile tor The
period of six months, correspondence be-
tween them being allowed during that
time. Dean is willing to accept The pro,
posion, and thus the subject is disposed
of for the present, al least.
The Rev. Mr.. Hatfield, who performed
the marriage ceremony, describes Nh
Dean as Of prepossessing appearance gen
tIemanIy address, and with nothing aoou'
him TO show that he was of Irish origln'
but the slightest possible brogue. Mr.
Dean called at his house on Tuesday the
24lh of last February, and inquired If Mr.
Hatfield would, on the following Saturday
tie the marriage knot for him. MIR. H.
.assented. On Saturday, Mr.. Dean pre-
sented himself and said his intended BRIDE
who was engaged as servant in genHe'
mans family close By, had been unable
10 perfect her arrangements ana was
necessary TO postpone the marriage unti!
the ensuing Tuesday. TO this Mr. u.
agreed. appointing the time of day Tor 'he
bridal party to call. Tuesday came ana
The minister held himself in readiness TO
perform the ceremony, but ne waited and
they did not appear. Towards evening
however, Deans friend came to the house
and told the servant that owing to the
storm of the preceding day, the young
lady had been unable 10 finish UP her
household duties, and as she wanted !"
remain in her place sometime longer, she
did not wish her marriage known.
Wednesday morning came, the couple
also, and their two witnesses with them
Miss Boxer was dressed as became her
assumed station, not in silk and honPs,nor
sparkling with diamonds. Mr.. Dean was
neatly a,rired and acted like a welI.bred
gentleman. As the day was muddy, and
Mr. Us parors had but lately been
furnished with a new carpet ii was deem
ed prudent thai the ceremony shonld be
performed in the basement, which was
cozy enough ptace,an there the marriage
took place.
Al its conclnsian, Dean took from his
purse roI! of bills, from which detatch-
ing V, he deIcately passed II over, po-
lltely inquiring if that would satisfy the
clergyman. Mr.. II. bowed an atlirma'
tive, and the happy party left, Mr.. Il.
remarkng TO his wife that the lady had
evidently the best OF that bargain. He
thought no more of the matter ill his at
tenlion was called to it on Tuesday last
from the statement in the papers. when
he found that instead, as be had supposed
of making poor servant girl happy, he
had probably made a wealthy family mis-
cradle.

few minutes after IN elve o'clock noon yes
terday Thursday an awful explosion TOOK
place at the Land Hill Collery, about hall
a mile from The Wombwell Station, on
The South Yorkshire railroad, by which
number Of human lives have been sacFlh-
ced. The pit, which is about two hun'
dred wards deep, belongs TO Messrs. lay
Tor & Co., and is worked by separate
"shafts" or releys of men, night and day.
The dav workers. to the number OF one
HUNDRED and eighty men and eight lads
descended al six o'clock yesterday NOR
ninp. A, twelve o'clock noon twenty
TWO of them, who live near the pits, came
up TO dinne,. the rest remaining 10 parlaKe
Of that meal in the pit. Shortly alter.
wards fearful explosion shook the ground
for great distance around. The frame III
which the corves descended was blown
up the shaft and lodged in The gearing a.
bove the pit mouth. Numbers OF men
from neighboring collieries focked 10 the
spo! to render assistance and up 10 seven
o'clock last evening sixteen men had been
drawn up alive. some Of them, however,
most seriously injured. There then re.
manned below no fewer than one hundred
and forty-tuo men and boys, most OF
whom, we fear, berelt of life.
The interior of the pit was set on ire
by the explosion, and the flames spread
with such rapidiry as, il is feared, TO cut
off all chance of reaching that par! OF the
pit where one hundred and forIy-tWo men
are supposed to be. Some idea of the
fearful nature of the fire in The pit may be
gathered from the fact that the flames as
cended up The air-shaft two hundred and
twenty yards above Tie pits mouth, lIIu-
ming the country 10 great distance a
round.
The cause of the explosion is as yet
enveIoped in mystery. The overIooker
states that when he went round the pit,
before the day men descended IN the NOR
ming, all appeared to be perfectly safe.
