LOCAL MATTERS. PROP. ROGERS' Lectures TIk very stormy and dkngrecable nature f the vreatheT lt Saturday evening, prevented many who desired to attend, from listening to the lecture which was delivered hy I'rcfajsor Roger in the Methodist Church. Those wl o heard the lecture, speak In glowing tenia it, aim) feci tint they were amply compensated for tlielr time, ex posurc to the rain, and two biu the price of admission, The subject of the Professor's lecture on Sunday evening, vras to prove the existence of a God. Tlie subject was mo.-t clearly and ably managed. By convincing logic, be llr-t swept away the strong arguments used by atlieists against the doctrine and then struck out into the region of proof, which nature througl science, by analogy, most clearly re veals, and man's Intuition confirm, of Uw existence of a First Cause, divine aid spiritual in Hi; essence. TIm Trofessor's delivery was pleasing and animated, and what would have been dry logic, was beautified with occa sional touches of (lament rhetoric, lie itlo lecture again, in one month, and we hope our people generally wilj patronise tlie pay lecture, especial ; , a the moneys received, beyond pay ing the traveling expenses of the Pro feasor, and the incidentals, are to go into the treasury of the Library Association. To Elect. As X. il.Cranor, Esq., ecnt hi Ms resignation as Mayor of the city at tlie hut meeting of the City Council (Kcv. Mr. Sweeney, elect: Mayor at the last city election, refits tug to qualify), our burg Is now with out a Mayor, and it becomes the duty Of the Council, under the Charter, to elect (aid officer. The amended City Charter, Section Six, reads: "The Mayor and Aldermen shall compose the Common Council of said city, ami at any meeting shall have exclusive power to provide for the election and qualification of officers, and for filling all vacancies in office," etc. Candi dates for the pasish should announce themselves at once there's nothing like taking time by the forelock. Go for it the man who can control tlie most votes in the Council will doubt less wear the purple. Thief Arrested. A few days since a man by tlie name of Douglas--was arrested at Ilarrishurg, charged with stealing a suit of clothes, five dollars in gold, three or four dollars ;n silver, and a pair of sleeve-buttons, amounting in all to about a forty dol lar steal. He arrived in this city on Monday last, in charge of the Deputy City Marshal of Ilarrishurg, Mr Levi Douglass, and was lodged in tlie County Jail. Thus it Is our new jail has a tenant. A Fair Tuts Oct. Our neighbor of the Democrat Jast week issued an urgent call for the Democracy to meet at tlie Court lion, on the evening of the 8th inrt., for the purpose of form ing a Democratic club. Of course our Democratic friends turned out mt nmte. ami the enthniasm was something to warm the heart even of a good Re publican. As we were not present we get the outlines of the proceedings from a friend. He reports that there were three Democrats and two Re publicans present. The meeting was organized hy the election of Dr. Alcx- aiult..ei...:M.... r r t . v ii.tu 111.1:1, , , , jii, 11 j Temperance Meetikq Tuesday EvKXtNO. We had the pleasure of attending tlie meeting of the Good Templars last Tuesday evening, which was open to the pnbHe. Their neat and commodious Hall was comforta bly filled witli ladles and gentlemen, many of whom, like us. were visi tors. Father Mendenhall was elected to preside over the meeting, w1m up on taking tlie chair, made some ap propriate remarks upon the subject of Temperanee, in which he narrated some interesting reminiscences which had come under his own long ex perience and labors in tlie ennse hi Secretary. Tlie third Democrat pre- j thi State. Regular speakers not ent, Capt. Shields not offering to 'ratify." and there being no firtlier business to transact, the club adjourn ed with one or two healthy old cheers for the success of Its odlccrs. Latex Since, writing tho above we learn that our first information was incorrect as to the numbers present on the ocemfon. It Is now asserted posi tively tliat there were at leat five Republicans and three Democrats present; that a temporary organiza tion was bad, and that the mectlmr uljonnied to meet again at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of the 20th Inst. I the proceedings throughout were -haraeterized by gnat gravity in fact "gravity was 110 uaino for it." 0 on with tlie flineml. Lea Yeah Bail.' Last Friday night. a very pleasant partr of young ladies and gentlemen of bjcity gathered at Pnrrish Hall, and passed 1 merry evening dancing. The whole iftair wa3 managed by tlie ladies who selected their partners, acted as floor managers, etc. It was a superb affair, and was hugely enjoyed by all present. Success to the ladles. Sweet Potatoes. Gus. Layton, the enterprising proprietor of the grocery store on comer of Broadalbiu and First streets is In receipt oPnen grocei ies and provisions. He Iras also received a fine lot of sweet potatoes the best we have seen in tlac market this season. ! being present, quite a number of per sona present were called out, who responded ' eticertnlly in short ad dresses. All went smoothly as a slide on ice, until one of the speakers lugged in the tobacco and codec question, which created a little uneasiness among tobacco ehewers and Coffee drinkers only a little. Oue fhcctlotM speaker, by mathematical computation "there anil then" made, showed that another speaker had disposed of 'about a half a mile of ping tobacco In the last twenty (we believe, it was) years. at the enormnii; cost of about six hundred dollars. lie forgot to make a computation of tlie amount of Inno cent satisfaction and soothing comfort that half-mile pltigafl'orded the "ehaw er." After the speeches the audience generally started in for a jolly good time talking, laughing, playing blind fold, etc.. We tried a couple of blind folds and then went "to hum," where we shut our "blinds ' until ratlicr late the next morning. A Gueat Variety Of furniture, of latest styles, at prices to suit, such as parlor sets bed-room sets chairs bedsteads bureaus, etc., at Chas. Mealey's.
