Get  every thing they need, They get the biggest and the best

And other kind of shows ; Will 11 a mammoth cheese is cut,
Tliiy always get a slice, l"or saying Mrs. Smith knows Iiow
To make it very nice ; The largest pumpkins, the longest beet,

An  Editorial pulf; 'Jhc Mggcst bug will speak to them,
No matter bow they dross, A shabby coat is notiiing if

By pretty girls who know Vhat they will crack up everything
The Ladies liave to thow ; And thus they get a blow-out free

public history of the times in which he lived. Naturally of a powerful frame of body, and possessing a mind highly cul¬ tivated by e.\ten.'-Mve readiug and obser¬ vation, few men, if any, within his sj)here of duty, have performed the same amount of labor, aud certainly none with a great¬ er degree of earnest and disinterested zeal. The marriages which he solem¬ nized in that city and county reach iuto the thousands, aud the baptismal and fu¬ neral services performed by him have scarcely a parallel in the history of any clergyman. As the regular Moekly visi¬ ter of all the public common schools in the city of Lancaster, the catechistof the young, the friend and patron of every enterprise of charity and benevolence, Dr. Baker was universally esteemed and beloved, not by his own denomination oivly, but by persons of every religious diil'ereuce, aud by the community in gen¬ eral.
Dr. l>akcr occupied, at the time ofhis decease, and he had for many years pre¬ vious, a prominent position in all the re¬ ligious and benevolent societies connect¬ ed with the Lutheran Church. During the last seven years he has served as pastor of St. Luke's Evangelical Luther¬ an Church, in tliis city, on I'^urth street, above Girard avenue, which church was erected under his ministry. The best commentary on his sincerity aud disin- torostedness as a minister of the (jot^pel, is tho fact that during the lust five years he has served that congregation, in sea¬ son and out of season, faithfully and la¬ boriously, icitltout asking vr receiving one cent of salary, ond contributing, mean- w/rile, largclg to it^ sti])])ort out of his own jirivate resources. Ilis labors in this field, among a highly deserving but poor people, have beeu most arduous aud uu- lemittiiig.
Dr. Baker was 07 years old a few days previous to his decease. Uis death was eminently tranquil aud serene, illumined by the consciousness of a useful and well- spent life,and the bright hope of a bliss¬ ful immortality beyond the skies. Few men have lived a more honorable nnd useful life. Few leave behind them a memory around which cluster so many pleasant reminiscences. Kind to all, rich and poor, white and black, simple and guileless in his nature as a child, uever sparing himself in conferring good upon others, he was both a great and a good man in Israel, whom to know was to reverence and love.
Ilis remains, by his own request, made shortly before his decease, we learn, are to be taken to Lancaster for interment. Long will the recollection of his many virtues be cherished by hundreds of at¬ tached and admiring friends.—Forncg's Press.

A Stuo.\-(i MA>f Overcome.—Dr. Geo. B. AV'inship, of Boston, supposed to be the strongest man in the world, attempt¬ ed to deliver a lecture on physical edu¬ cation, illustrated by feats of strength ou Monday night, but on account of ex¬ citement swooned thrice, and was obliged to desist.
Dr. Winship has for severalyears giv¬ en much attention to the stibject of phys¬ ical education, lie is 'J5 years of age, five feet seven inches in h«ight, and weighs 11.3 pounds, lie graduated at Cambridge, five years ago. He can raise a barrel of flour from the floor ou his shoulder, can raise himself with either little finger, till his chin is'half a foot above it ; can raise 200 pounds wilh either little finger; can put up a dumb boll of 1-11 pounds ; exercises daily with two dumb bells weighing 100 pouuds each, which he can raise alternately above his head, can lift wilh the hands 920 pounds,dead weight, without the aid of straps or belts of any kind. Topham, the strongest man in England, could only raise t>00 pounds in the same way, aud the celebrated Belgian giaut coulci lift only bOO. Dr. Winship was prepared to exhibit all these feats, but the unexpect¬ ed turn which events took prevented it. The strong man proved to be au infant.
NeWSI'AI'KU IX THK Oldex Ti.me.—In 1716 the Boston News Letter, which had been printed on a half sheet of fools¬ cap size, was enlarged so as to rtjquire a whole sheet, 'i'he publisher naively that it was impossible, "with half a sheet in the week to carry on all the Publick News of Europe, though hitherto all those of Great Britain, Ireland, our own and our Neighboring Provinces, have been yearly inserted." He was now thirteen mouths behind hand with News, aud to make up the deficiency, and to make all "uew that used formerly to be old," he resolved to print a whole sheet every other week.

"Alessaxuria."—This place, the ren¬ dezvous of the Sardinian army, whither the King has gone to take command, is probably destined to play an important part iu tho coming war. It is a fortified city near the eastern frontier of Pied¬ mont, whose guns bristle toward the Austrian territory. It stands in the J. midst of a sterile plain. It is the great stronghold of Piedmont, and is to the Sardinians what Gibraltar is to the Eng¬ lish, or Sebastopol was to the Russians, During the reign ofthe French in Italy, its formidable fortifications made it one of the strongest places iu Europe, but these were subsequently demolished, leaving only the citadel. Within the past few years workmen have been busy in reconstructing them, iu anticipation of the events now at hand. In the sur¬ rounding plain, two miles distant, is Na¬ poleon's celebrated battle fiol^ of Ma¬ rengo, Alessandria is garrisoned with several thousand troops, and being con¬ nected with Turin and Genoa by railway, any number can be readily concentrated there. To capture it would be a crown¬ ing glory to the Austrian Generals, and to lose it a deep humiliation to Sardinia,
Correct Sri:AKixr..—We advise all youug people to acquire in early life the habit of using good language, both in speaking and writing, aud abandon as soon as possible all slang words and prases. The longer they live tho more dilficult the acquisition of good language of youth, if the j>roper season forthe ac¬ quisition of language be passed in its abuse, the unfortunate victim of neglect¬ ed education is very probably doomed to talk slang for life. Money is not neces¬ sary to procure this education. Every mau has it in his power. He has merely to use the la.nguage which he reads, in¬ stead of the slang which he hears, to form his taste from the best speakers and poets of the country, to habituate himself to their use, avoiding at the same time that pedantic precision and bom¬ bastic, which show rather the weakness of a vain ambition, than the polish of an educated mind.
l^"Mrs. Rosanna U^nderwood has just been divorced from her husband, in Bos¬ ton, last week. One reason urged was neglect to provide properly for her sup¬ port. She also proved that during the first year of their marriage they have resided in nine different houses, and dur¬ ing the second year in eleven. The Court is said to have been of the opinion that the last consideration was clearly a
justifiable cause for granting the bill,

I Stock Yocabulart : The vocabulary of the stock market very often puzzles readers of newspapers, and for the bene¬ fit of those who are not "posted" we give the definition of some of the phrases used in stock circles : I A Bli.i- is one who buys Stocks on ' speculation, thinking they will rise, so that he can sell at a profit. It is to his interest to have Stocks rise, and he will resort to every means to bring about the desired result.
A Bear is one who sells Stocks on ' speculation, thinking they will fall, so ' that he can buy in for less money to till I his contracts. It is to his interest to j break down the market, and he will resort j to desperate means to accomplish his I object.
I A Corxer is when the Bears cannot buy or borrow the Stock to deliver iu fulfilment of their contracts.
A Deposit is earnest money, lodged in the hands of a third party as a guar¬ antee : "5 up," "10 up," Ac, is the lan¬ guage expressive of a deposit.
Overloaded is when the Bulls cannot take aad pay for the stocks they have purchased.
Short is when a person or a party sells Stocks when they have none, and expect to buy or borrow them in time to deliver.
Long is when a person or a party has a plentiful supply of Stocks.
A Flver is to buy some Stock with a view to selling it in a few days, and either make or lose, as luck will have it.
A Wash is a pretended srale, by|special agreement between the seller and buyer, for the p^rpo9e of getting a quotation reported,

Girls, Beware.—Girls, beware of transient young men. Never suffer the addresses of a stranger. Recollect that one good farmer's boy, or industrious mechanic, is worth all the floating fops in the world. The allurements of a dan¬ dy Jack, with a gold chain round his neck, a walking stick in his paw, a three¬ penny cigar in his mouth, some honest tailor's coat on his back, aud a brainless though fancy skull, never caii make up the loss of a good father's home, a good mother's counsel, and the society of brothers and sisters; their affections last, while that of such a young man is lost iu tho wane of a honeymoon. 'Tis true.
Death FRO-M Grief,—The Port Clinton (Ohio) Democrat ^ays that Mrs. Peter Perry, whose husband was drowned, as we noticed last week, has since died from the effect of the loss of her husband,— From the moment she received the in¬ telligence of his loss up to the hour of her death, a few days ago, she never ex¬ hibited signs of sanity, being perfectly wild and delirious.

^•General Shields, United States Senator from Minnesota, on arriving at Hastings, on Sunday, the 8th instant, found himself minus his pocket-book, containing a draft on New York for $2,- 000, and S-^00 in cash. It appears that, having taken his pocket-book out, ha left it on the deck of the steamer, and somebody rewarded his carelessness by making way with it.
Si.VGCLAR Cause of Death.— About three months ago Mr. Lewis Applegate, an old and respectable citizen of Brook¬ lyn, was engaged in paring down a corn on one of his toes, when he cut too deep, causing it to bleed. He took cold m the wound, which caused it to inflame to snch an extent that about two months since it was found necessary to amputate the toe. After this operation he grew worse, in consequence of there being not sufficient vitality in the limb, to heal the wound. Erysipelas set in, and this eventually caused his death.
Old Shues.—The workmen engaged in searching the foundation ofthe Black Bear Hotel, on Fifth street, discovered an eld box, under a staircase, CDntaining several pairs of wooden shoes. The shoes were made of apple wood, and of a superior order of manufacture. They were evidently intended for snow-shoes, and had probably been made for the use of a company of Indians. The box con- taing them had almost fallen to decay, but the shoes were in a fine state of pre¬ servation.—Forney's Press.
Stuck.—A well-known citizen of De¬ troit, Michigan, who is very fond of chil¬ dren, noticed (while passing over the Chicago and St, Louis road) a neaUy dressed lady with a pretty baby, and took the child ou hia lap. At the next sta¬ tion the mother got off to get some milk for the -baby, but did not return. The Detroit man was not only left with the little responsibility, but every body in the cars persisted in believing, in spite of his declarations, that the woman was his wife, and that she had beeu forced thus to desert him and her child by crnel treatment.
Gre.\t Fe.\.t.—The Portsmo"uth(Mass.) Journal states that on Thursday week two hodcarriers at the new custom house bantered each other on tbeir relative strength. To test it they increased tha contents of the hods by degrees until each bore on his shoulders a hod weigh¬ ing 20 pounds, and seventy wet bricks, weighing about four and a half pounds each. They each bore the weight of three hundred and thirty-five pounds, and ascended a ladder twenty feet with their burdens. They were preparing for a heavier load next time, but the over¬ seer forbade them,

Propagation op Fish,—The Hastport (Pa.) Sentinel says that a plan has been offered to the people of Perry, who own land bordering on the Little river stream, to stock the river wilh salmon, shad, and aletvives, on such terms as will make all the people owning land on the stream directly interested, and all the towns also interested in having an article of cheap food near their homes. Should the peo¬ ple agree on the plan proposed to them, the fish are to be planted this sprinjf.

New Style Envelopes,—The propri¬ ety of adopting an improved style in the preparation of stamped envelopes, is be¬ ing considered by the Postmaster Gen¬ eral. The envelopes spoken of, and which are just coming into tise, are so prepared that black lines on the inside ofthe back of the envelope, and invisible from without, become patent on the front when the envelope is pressed, and serve as ruled lines to guide the superscription. The additional expense of these enve¬ lopes, which are gotten up in superior style, is trifling, and their convenience bas commended them tu the attention of
