' Oir local brothers must do better than lhaVwhen they go a courting, otherwise , “the /edge” Slight have to find them guilty, and a recommendation to the if mercy of the Court do no good. Something Pretty. —We took a stroll .into Perkins & Co.’s Gallery yesterday, and found it a most attractive place. There can be found a most beautiful display of photograph-albums, pictures, btereoscopes, and views, with ivory (types, and other pretty articles, enough Bo engage the attention for a very great, while.

Secretary —B. H. Bkodnax. The next good move will be, we hope, the establishing of a Board of Trade in the City. C- QC Sweet Potatoes.-—ls. all other crops have failed, there is one whioh seems to have held its own—the potato, sweet and Irish. Our market is overstocked with potatoes of both the above-men. tioued kinds. They are sold at reasona bly lew rates. And this allusion calls to miud the fact, that potatoes are al leged to have been first introduced at Moscow, by a Mr. Rowland, about sev enty years ago. At first the people would neither plant uor touch them, saying they were the devil’s fruit, given to him on his complaining to God that he had no fruit, when be was told to search in the earth for some, which he did, and found potatoes. Killed'. —A negro, named Harry Thomas, alias Whiteman, was killed in Columbia county on Monday evening, by some person or persons to us un known. Those fine sewed, hand-made Boots for boys have arrived and are going off fast. Call at 182} Broad street, and si a the like. Fine assortment of everything in the line. ’ -j- Committed. —The negro who stole a large sum of money from Mr. Van Sprecken, on Friday night last, was yes} terday arraigned before Judge McLaws, and by him committed to jail to await trial at the next term of the County Court. Important to Paper Manufactu rers.—The following paper will be read with profit by all interested in the pre paration or nse of manufactured paper: Treasury Department, ) Office Internal Revenue, v Wakhinoton, Dec. 26, 1666. J Gentlemen : In answer to the jnqui ries in your letter, dated 22d inst., I have to say that printing paper includes only such paper as is used by printers in the ordinary publication of newspa pers, books, pamphlets, circulars, post ers and hand-bills, but does not in any case include writing paper, plain, ena meled, or laid card paper or card board, Bristol board, envelope paper’an 1 euve. lopes, nor any manufactures from paper. Paper net otherwise provided for is sub ject to a tax of three per cent, ad valo rem, and manufactures from paper not otherwise provided for a tax of five per cent, ad valorem. Yours, respectfully, E. A. Rollins, Commissioner. The Baltimore Municipal Elec tion. —The Baltimore Municipal Elec tion took place last Wednesday, and resulted in the success of the Radicals, as annexed telegrams to the National Intelligencer show: Baltimore, Oct. 10—The election is progressing quietly hero, and the judges are receiving the votes of those regis tered in 1863. The conservatives are making no efforts to elect their candidate. Not a single disturbance has been reported so far. Baltimore, Oct. 10. —John Lee Chapman was to-day re-elected Mayor. The whole Republican Council ticket was elected. Chapman’s majority is 2,840. The vote is very light, being controlled en tirely by the original registration list. Baltimore, Oct. 10.—Cbapmau has 2,843 majority. The Republicans have carried every ward in the city and elected all the Council ticket. Technical Words. — In reading, we frequently come across technics with which we are unacquainted, the under standing of which is necessary to give us a correct idea of the subject. To obviate this difficulty we give a defini tion of some of the most common: A firkin of butter. bo pounds A sack of coal .....224 pounds A truss of straw 36 pounds. A stave of hemp 32 pounds A sack of flour 98 pounds A quintal 100 pounds A piggot of steel 120 pounds A truss of hay 56 pounds A bash 80 pounds A kilderin 18 gallons A barrel 36 gallons A hogshead 54 gallons A puncheon.. „ 84 gallons English prices current often speak of the price of wheat per quarter —to re duce this to barrels, multiply the price by 7 and divide by 12, and it will g}vo the price at the same rate, by the barrel. Thus—if wheat is quoted is at 56 shil lings a quarter, multiply 56 by 7, and divide by 12, and it gives the price, 32 shillings 8 pence a barreh To Remove Mildew flom Muslin.— Put the muslin on an earthen platter and pour over it a strong soap-suds, to which a teaspoonful of soda is added. Set it in a strong sunlight three or four days, or longer if needed, adding more suds to make up the evaporation, and turning once or twice a day to expose all parts of the fabric. I have used this with great success for a number of years. Stir a quarter of a pound of chloride of lime in a gallon of cold water. After settling pn hour, pour off the clear liquid, and soak the mildewed cotton or linen in it two hours ; wash well and expose to the sun. The Indians in Colorado Terri tory.—Governor Cummings, of Golo* rado, informs the Commissioner of In dian Affairs, that General Carson, com madding at Fort Garland, thinks that he .can, by careful management, pre vent the hostile feelings now existing among the Utah Indians from spread ing to the Tabagaachi-Utes, of Colora do, who have been quite restless of late, on account of delays in the receipt of their promised annuities. The goods had arrived, and Governor Cummings intended to vistribute them ft once. A W ondkrful CniLD.— The annals of precocity present no more remarkable instance than the brief Career of Chris tian Heinecker, born at Lubeck, Feb ruary 6, 1721. At the age of ten months he could repeat every word which was said to him ; when twelve months old he knew by heart the principal events narrated in the Pentateuch; in hit se cond yeeh he learned the greater part of the history of the Bible, both of the old and New Testament; in his third year he could reply to most questions on uni versal history and geography, and in the same year he learned to speak Latin and French; in hia fourth year he.em ployed himself in the study of religion and the history of the church, and he was able not only to repeat what he had read, but affo to reason bpcm it, and ex press his own judgment. ’ The King of Denmark wishing to see this wonderful child, he was taken to Copenhagen, there examined before the court, and proclaimed to be a wonder. On his return home, he learned to write, but, his constitution being weak, he shortly after fell ill; he died on the 27th of June, 1726, without, it is said, show ing much uneasiness at the approach of death. This account of him by his teacher is confirmed by many respect able cotemporary authorities. Martini published a dissertation at Lubeck, in whioh he attempted to account for the circumstances of the child’s early devel opment of intellect. It cannot be too generally known that extreme precocity like this is of the nature of disease, and a subject lor the gravest care. In a precocious child, the exercise of the intellect, whether it lessens or otherwise, should be discour aged and controlled, not, as it too often is, stimulated, if there be any sincere desire that the child should live. Perjury.—We see from our exchanges that the Circuit Judges in different por. tions of country, are directing the atten tion of Grand Juries to the cases of persons who have taken the “test oath” falsely, and charging them strictly in reference to ail such. Evidently every one who either sought or held office uu ler the “so-called” Confederate Gov ernment, and afterward has taken the “test oath,” will come under the head of perjury, because, if we understand properly the purport of this oath, he who takes it swears that he never did “seek nor hold” office under the “sc called” Confederate Government.-P7ori da ( Tampa) Peninsula. Redemption of Mutilated Cur rexcy. —lt has been decided by the Acting Comptroller of the Currency that mutilated notes must be redeemed by the redemption agencies of the national banks at the commercial centres so long as no reasonable doubt exists as to the identity of the note presented. When the notes are so badly mutilated as to make the value or identity difficult to determine, the case should be referred to the bank by which they are issued. A Model Mayor. —The Mayor, or Chief Municipal officer of a French village, was recently notified to take all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the cholera, which had ap peared in a neighboring town. The zealous officer obeyed his orders so literally that he had a number of graves dug in the cemetery, sufficient to accom modate the whole population. Another one of the Conscience Stricken. United States Treasurer Spinner has lately received from the Rev. Arthur J. Donelly, pastor of St. Michael’s Church, New York, a com munication containing two one hundred dollar United States seven-thirty Treas ury notes, which were given into his hands by a penitent to be restored to the Government. The notes were sold and the proceeds ($215.07) transferred to the credit of the United States. The Existence of the Sun. —lt will be gratifying to most of our readers to know that a distinguished mathemati cian has demolished the various theories of solar heat, and demonstrated that, for thirty million of years to come, the sun will continue to afford sufficient caloric to sustain human life upou the surface of the earth. Pardons. —The following gentlemen were pardoned by the President on the 12th inst.: William B. Clement, of Texas; William D. Porter, of South Carolina, and John L. Vickers, of Lou isiana.
