Court next week. What a lovely day. Write up those advertisements. Not a bit of frost in ground. Coughs and colds are too abundant.

West Chester still goes fox hunting. The air had a chilly feeling this morning Little hatchet" stories are now in order. Shad catching has commenced down the bay. Old Boreas bad things all his own way yesterday. Wood flies and robins are beginning to shew themselves.

Malarial fevers are said to be produced by a microscopic fungus. tubular cylindrical, are six in number, each twelve feet in diameter, aud twelve feet 6 into length. The working pressure is 80 pounds to the square inch. The propeller of the Hirsch patent, having four blades, capable of being removed either singly or together, from the hub, to wbicb they are fastened by bolts. The diameter of the propeller is sixteen feet, and tbe mean pitch is 27 feet, to revolve 65 times per minute.

There is also a donkey boiler aud engine to be used in cleaning the bilge, supplying the main boilers with water, and in case ot fire. There are three decks beside tbe burn- cane dectt, two of which, the spar deck is entirely of iron and the main deck partially of iron. The deck frames are all ol iron, and fastened in the most secure manner known in naval architecture. It is expected that the vessel will make sixteen knots per hour when let out. The hoisting apparatus, which will be a patent elevator, will be worked by steam, aud she will be provided with the most improved steering machinery.

Her mean low draft will be eighteen feet. She will be brigantine rigged and will spread about yards of canvas, her masts being iron. The Columbia will have staterooms sufficient whose course beietofore has been against appropriations for the Delaware river. Last night he took a warm interest in the subject, and left the impression on the minds of the delegation that be would favor the appropriation now before Congress for tbe development of the commerce of the Delaware river. Tbe committee having the matter in charge has compiled a pamphlet, wbicb coiiUii's" all the information on the subject, which will be freely distributed amonc Congressmen.

Colonel Ludlow, of spoke at some length on the nature of the proposed improvements. He thought the amount asked for was comparatively small. Captain G. B. White, U.

S. spoke of the Lighthouse'Service and the wauu thereof. He said that the Delaware river, except at two places, is now fairlj lighted. Senator Wallace was next introduced. He said he had come to be enlight- THB BKIGHT SIDE OF LiiutY The tickets lor tbe lecture to be in Holly Tree Hall, on Friday evening, tbe 27th inst, by Chaplain McCabe, have nearly all been sold.

The lecturer is spoken of the brightest terms by press and public, and cannot fail to please. Tbe Stroudsburg in referring to a recent lecture on Side of Life in Libby Prison," by this gentleman, says: This most esting and eloquent.lecturer was greeted by a good audience, whica was quickly brought in sympathy with the speaker. Few of tbe audience in a long time bad spent an hour and twenty minutes with tbe degree of I interest they did in listening to this lecture. Tbe lecture should have been' beard to be appreciated, but without any exaggeration we can say that those who did not hear it missed a rare treat. THE VAUSXTISK BUSINESS.

During Valentine week, which ended February 14ib. tbew were 3500 one-cent stamps soid at tbe Post Office, so that the valentine business in Chester amounts to something now- A RAFFLK--A buggv, a set of harness, and two whips were raffled oft" at Jesse w.

Nothing but the best material has been allowed to go into the ship, and everything known to the trade has been done to render her perfectly strong and seaworthy. She was built under the special supervision of the Bureau Veritas and American Shipmasters' Association. The vessel is provided with four water tight compartments.

Her model is surpassingly beautiful, and when finished she will be one of the fastest ships afloat. Her interior appointments will be beautiful in every particular. The Columbia is for the Oregon Steam- ened and not to talk. "There is one point about our State whico, perhaps, does not strike the casual observer; it is the fact that whilst we touch external commerce at three points, vis: Tbe Delaware, Ohio and Lake Erie, and we have no appropriations for our internal rivers, tbe Upper Delaware, Lehigh, Allegheny, aud other rivers, we have never asked the Federal Government for sufficient money to place the port of Philadelphia on a fowling with the other great ports of the United States. Other streams less significant than the Delaware have received large appropriations from jear to year, yet that stream bas been comparatively neglected." He assured the delegation that Pennsylvaniaus in Con- ess were a unit for what was asked for.

on. Hendrick B. Wright, aud Judge Kelley also made speeches. Speaker Randall followed, and said that it afforded him much gratification to be present, and to meet with the mercantile and commercial men of Philadelphia. He had carefully read tbe pam- TALK OF DEFKKBINO understand that there is a disposition among tbe Councilmen to defer electing a successor to the late Mr.

Young until after the new Council takes Its seat. There are but two more regular meetings of the old Council, and the reason assigned for postponing the matter so that the new Council can take action on it. Is that the person elected will have the longer time of one year to serve with that body, and therefore they should choose. This is evidently a good reason for giving the matter into the bauds of the new Council. No interests can sufler by waiting, and it would give the new members from the North ward a voice in the election.

These anniversaries are very pleasant occasions, and the members look forward to them with much joy. sentiments that are lifelong.

The engineer will work the engine by telegraph, aud the quarter-master at the wheel will execute bis orders also by telegraph, making a mistake almost impossible, because by this arrangement all orders can be repeated back to the sender.

Tbe vessel was modeled and designed by Mr. Edward Faron, and, in every respect, she is a noble ship, and a credit to her builders, and a fit specimen of Chester industry.

Congressmen Ward, Mitchell, Ryon, and Gotschalk also made short speeches. Congressman Ward said it was hardly necessary for him to say that, so far as he could do anything iu the matter, he would gladly do it.

"1 do not represent Philadelphia," said he, '-but the Delaware river bas nothing mean about it and flows by the city of Chester." He thought the demand should be made as a matter of right; that the Delaware river and Philadelphia should have their just share of the money which flows from the public treasury for purposes of this kind. The twenty-seven votes of Pennsylvania he could guarantee in favor of an appropriation, and these votes will tell.

Penitence snouiu convey uupo, iion, modesty and awe exultation, be tempered with fear. Everything should be subordinated to a sense of tbe Divine presence, everywhere should music tread souiy, remembering she stands on holy ground. Again, a peculiarity of church music lies in its relation to words. Baini says: "Melody and harmony are the leaves and the bark of the vine; the sacred words are the marrow aud rich substance that bear the neb. fruit of piety In tbe heart." No composer bas a right to trifle with words of such weighty import, dealing with issues so sol-, emn, and he who con do so is lacking in that purity of taste and deep-toned sensibility essential to the true artist.

the A City Why has Chester no city physician There are hundreds here who need the care of a skillful practitioner, but who are able to render no compensation, or but a small one. Most physicians are too humane to allow suffering which they have power to aHevi- aud are consequently doing a greater work of charity than ought to fall to their share. Some living in Chester could be mentioned who not only prescribe the remedies but furnish them in destitute cases. A reliable physician should be elected to the special charge of such persons, and bis bills be paid by the town, thus equalizing the burden of benevolence. USE Foster's Untivaied Cough Syrup, never fails.

And one single bottle of Hop Bitters taken in time would save the $1,000 and all tbe year's appropriation for lightships and lighthouses on the Delaware.
