TUE 01 - 17:10GT:APLIY o= •'entcrnr.s."—A corresrondent in another• column informs us of the adoption of the name, "Chickies," fur the new Pcst Office established between this place and Marietta. We are inclined to quarrel with the name under its present spelling. Taking, the orthography adopted by the Messrs. Haldeman for the name of their furnace, Chikiswalungn, as that anist ptop,r, the abbreviated name should road "Chills" This would more nearly represent the popularly shortened Chikissra lungo thau does the namf: "Chickies," which noutains to superfluous letter in the first syl lable and one entirely vitiating the sound in the second. We do not so positively object to the addition of c ay to the long sound of e, which the intruniun of that letter after 1 necessitates. Chiel:lrs, instead of an abbre viation of the sounding Aboriginal name of the :.reel:, whence comes the pleasant and familiar titre of the noble prumcnt ,, ry, the most leonine atnungvt our neiborhood's lions. seems more properly the diminutive of adck ens, or of that beautiful compound, clack-a biddies. Were we called upon to Ns rite the abbreviated name ns it is gener;,ily pro nounced, without reference to the orthogra phy of the parent stock, we should set it down Chichiv, and this, as near no may be correctly and legitimately shortens the Heck , ()welder "Chikiswalungo." At all e". cats, tyro protest against ie,t, which iv deriNed from a en•rupt pronuneiat:on of the abbreviation of the original name rather than from the I name itself. A \Yuan To Tut AGrIIO3ITIES OF TOE P. R. R. Co.—We hear much complaint of the custom prevailing along the Pennsylva nia Canal of 10ci...10g deal animals through from one level to another iu order to get rid of the nuisance. As the Incite at this place are the last on the Canal, the river, from which we derive a large supply of our drinking water, receives all this foul matter, in addition to much other unavoid able filth from the same source, at no very considerable distance above the point where our pumps are in daily operation. Is it too much to ask that no deal body shall be permitted to p.tss tlwough any luck? It is an easier matter we almit. to pass en the corruption, to Coat, decomposing, from look to lock until it finds its way into our reser voir and thence thlough the hydrants of the town into cur daily to eat and drink, Lai we contend that it is unfair that we should be compelled to find a long home for the quadrupedal dead of the country borderinga long line of canal. We respectfully reque,4 file proper authorities to give orders for the abatement of this nui. , ance; an act on the part of the Company which will afford un qualified satisfaction to the citizens of Co lumbia without entailing expense on itself or unwarrantable trouble on its employees. Tue W-1 ER.—Much complaint having been made, and justly, concerning the qual ity of our drinking taster. Thos. Lloyd, Esq., the .A.s.signee of the Company has or dered a thorough overhauling of the roser- Mr. Henry Miller has charge of the repairs, and of the water department gener ally, which facts will go far to satisfy the community that every pains will be taken to afford pure water for our use. It has been discovered that . a 9 tlindent supply of spring v.ater can be obtained, ti furnish the town several days in the week. As there are two reservoirs, this water can be kept separate from that pumped from the river, and be used exclusi%ely as fares it will reach. When it fails of course water must be forced from the Susquehanna. This will be goad news f, r those who remember the clsor, sweet, soft avatar that used to be the boast of our town. Mr. Lloyd is determined to do el.erything in his power, while the property remain:: iu his hands, to keen it in Rod sides, eel furnish the purest water that cir.mins!an , ..es nill a7a-mit.

Our National Anniversary falling on Sun day was quietly observed in especial dis courses from most of our pulpits: The Co lumbia and Vigilant Fire Companies at tended the Presbyterian, and the Susque hanna the Methodist church, where appro priate sermons were preached. The jubila tion was postponed until the fifth, which an swered every purpose..and practically made a servicable "Fourth." 'the feature of the day was the Firemen's procession, which occupied the morning and enlivened our borough not a little. The day was rung in at midnight, and the bells were merry uptil rnorning, when the drum and fife tool: up the strain and the town waked to a fall sense of holiday. The firemen were abroad at an early hour in their accoutrements, ready for the march. The Mount Joy Brass Band arrived about 8 o'clock and was received by a committee of the Vigilants. At 9 o'clock the proces sion formed at the Town Hall, and at the appointed hour moved down Locust street, the Columbia leading, with Binehour's Band. the Vigilant, with the Mount Joy Band, following. Col. Herr as Chief Marshal, with Jos. Hogento,gler and Sam'l F. Eller kin, as aids, headed the line. The Culum bians drew their Hose Carriage, elegantly decorated, and polished to brilliancy, while the Vigilants marched with their engine, equally beautified and adorned. Each ma chine was surmounted by a portrait of Washington. The Columbia boys appeared in black trow ,, ers, white shirts and black silk hats; the Vigys in the same dress, with the exceptioli of the hat; they wore the han,heme blue firemen's hat of the company. When the proeession reached the resi dence of Geo. Wulf, .1 -q., the line was baited in the shade, lied •lames Myers, Esq., read the Declaration of Independence in a mari ner worthy the oecasiun, giving general sat isfaction, alter which one of the bands played a national air. The oration, by Cul. J. W. Fisher, suceeded. It was one of the most masterly effmts of this gentleman; eloquent and patriotic without being too Intensely spread, eagle ur Fourth of July. The ora tion was warmly cheered, and wo hare heard none but favorable opinions of his ad dress. Another national air was given on the conclusion of the oration. The Rev. Mr. Barnes was loudly called fur but de clined speaking. The route was now resumed, the Vigilant leading, and the wind° tuwn was traversed by the procession, which gathered flowers as it went, some of the firemen being cov ered with wreaths before reaching the ter mination of the march. The machines were both housed by noon, the two companies vieing with each other in ceremonial cour tesy, on arrival at their respective halls.— The firemen were dismissed about hlubdock. The occasion was one of unrniaed plea sure, and we. can most truthfully compli ment all concereed in the display, not only on the tasteful and complete getting up of the accessories, and the precision and order of the procession, hut on what is still Jotter and more creditable, the absence of all die order. Everthing wag conducted with pro priety and not a drunken man was to be seen anywhere in the ranks. (It may be as well to remark here that we never, on an occasion of the kind, saw the town so free from drunkenness and rowdyism.) A word is due the Chief Zllarshal in praise of the almost military order with which his line marched and wheeled. He was actively .‘e.couded by his ellielcut Aids. The music by lire two bands was admirable, and we can congratulate our neighboring borough, Mount Joy, on the escellence of its musical t dent. When the proce.i- ion Ras 01»nt a cry of fire W. 1.1 rni•ed, which W:l9 Erst looked up )n as a hoax, but as it continued the firemen startad, ready for duty. It proved to Le the re 4 of the, frame sehool house in Second sfreot. adjoining thu Vigi- Innt Engine llnuke, which had been set on fire by the wadding of a pi,tol fired by a jubilant in the street. It was gat under ba_ fi,re the firemen arrived. An alarm in the evening again brought out the cumpanie. The roof of Hami:t , ,n's Row, oppo-dte the IS'ac,hington 111u5.% was discovered to be in a blaze, and the alarm was given. Several of the machines were brought ou the ground, but through the ae• tine exertions of Mr. John L. 'Martin and others tie fire was extinguished without any damage Laing don.•. But for the prompt. ness of Mr. M. , a :crious fire might have been the re,ult, as a strong wind was blowing from the river at the time. The fire was kindled by a Roman candle or rocket. Altogether tho Fifth vcris a plea. , ant and successful day and will favorably remem bered. It was celebrated generally through tho towns of the neighborhood, hut, wo ven ture to aeeert, nou here more agreeably than in Columbia. haN o been frequently asked for information respecting Drs. Sowell S. Wolfc'e method of treating diseases of the lunge and throat; and we have as frequently replied that they assume to treat, by medicated in halation, this frightful, and, alas, too fatal class of diseases, with more success than can be attained by the old system Of swallowing drugs into the stomach. These gentlemen aro scientific practitioners, and have elaborated their system of practice so well that they can ca4ily reduce their medi cines to a state of vapor, when the patient inhales theta into his lunge. In this way they treat consumption, s.stlima and bron chitis, we arc assured, with great success.— Ice copy tno above from the St. Louis Ecrold, us it makes allusion to Dr. N. B. Wolfe, who is now on a visit to this place, and may he consulted by all thosn laboring under diseases of the throat and lunge. A MoonNrct, Beta.sn.—Geo. Druckermil ler is in town, engaged in the sale of his pa thetic ballad "on the death of Miss Mary Ann Culp, who was drowned in the little Chigoes," It is a very touching dirge of thirteen verses, and may be chanted to the tune of “Orteaville." If it should be our melancholy fate to die by drowning in the Little Chirpier, may G. W. 31, compose !ow requiem. THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE.—The exam- illation of scholars at this institution has been in progress since last Tuesday morning, the exercises terminating in Mr. Welsh's oration, on Friday evening, of which we can say nothing, going to press too early to ad mit of notice. The pupils have acquitted themselves creditably, the visitors at the school evincing interest and satisfaction.— The efficiency of the scholars in their studies speaks strongly in favor of the school and its able corps of instructors. The Institute has been liberally supported and the num ber of pupils under instruction during the last session has been large. We see in this the promise of a stability which will insure to our town a good, Erst class institution of learning, which will afford at our doors a thorough course or instruction for which we have heretofore been compelled to send abroad. Daow_vrso.—On Sunday, 4th inst., Henry Lutz was drowned in the Susquehanna near the head of the shute. Ile was in a skiff with Adam Hoffman, John Burk, and Levi Kahl, celebrating the day on the river. The party allowed their boat to float too near the shute and when they found it being drawn into the swift water jumped out, at tempting to swim ashore. Kahl reached the sjore; Hoffman and Burke were picked up by a flat boat, pushed to their assistance, which, however, was compelled to run through the shute before landing; Lutz was drowned. The body was recovered, when Deputy Coroner Hollingsworth summoned a jury of inquest, the verdict of which was accidental drowning. The deceased bore the character of a steady, industrious man. He formerly worked as a puddler in the Columbia Roll ing 31ill. He leaves a family of a wife and one child. BL.tin's Eertmc'i CA SvnlNG.—Our atten tion has been called to a newly patented car .raring, Blair's Eureka, now being adopted on the Pennsylvania Railroad. It consists in a number of curved plates of cast steel, tempered to great elasticity, placed one above the other, forming a series of ellipses. One of the ears of the Harrisburg Accom modation train tale!' passed through Co lumbia on Thursday evening was furnished with this spring, and Mr.Unger,the obliging comluctur, speaks highly of its sueces. A BACKSLIDER.—On Saturday, 3d instant, Constable llolling,..worth succeeded in head ing off Rank Turner, against whom he had for some time carried a warrant, issued by Justice Welsh. Rank was arraigned on the charge of gambling with Dellum Li, Co., among the board-piles, and in various other localities. On being brought face to face with angry and outraged authority the darkoy humbly acknowledged having parti cipated as spectator in the Dellum "little game," but earnestly denied having taken a hand. He plead guilty to a precipitate tetreat on the intrusi•m of the magistracy upon the pleasures of the party, but was en tirely oblivious of the mode of his descent from the pile: thought attraction of gravita tion had everything to do with it after the leverage of a had "skcer" had started him. Upon inquiry, his opinion as to the morality of gambling was futind to be modified by the character of the day. He "didn't think playin' =Os ob a week day was no sin, no how, but Sunday was diffrunt." "I d'clar', Mr. Welsh, last Sunday's de fust time I touch caads on de Sabbath seuce I got religion." It appeared that Rank made that acquisi tion during the excitement of last winter, and joined the Baptist church, having been "dipped" ono cold morning in February.— lie evinced heartfelt penitence for his fall ing front grace, and apparently suffered such mental inquietude as to induce the tender hearted magistrate to provide him with a shady retreat--at hard labor, that his mind might find .ho county prison, for fifteen days. As a further punishment the Justice informed the prisoner that his of fence was rank, and was about to add some ;hing to the effect of his being a turner to and from religion, when the unhappy man, falling on his kneis, begged for thirty days rather than any more uniccling jokes of the same quality, whereupon his Honor waved fur Hollingsworth to remove the victim, ad journed court, and challenged the editor of the to a game of billiards. Vor the Columbia Spy "Chickies" and its Spelling. This name is the abbreviation of that of the creek, Chikiswalungo, as written by Ileckewelder who understood the Delaware language, in which it means "where crabs burrow." It is spelled "Chickesalunga" in Scott's Map of Lancaster County, and the abbreviation frequently appears under the form of "Chiques," which strangers take for a monosyllable. The Messrs. Haldeman adopted fieckewel der's form to designate their furnace in IS-16; but as this is too cumbersome for a Post Office, the recent establishment of ono re quired a short name, and one spelled accord ing to English analogies; Cleickies was ac cordingly adopted, the rocky promontory at the locality having been long known as "Chickies Rock." Items of News Mayor Henry of Philadelphia, was arrest ed on Saturday afternoon, at his office, on a warrant issued by Alderman McMullin, at tl.o instance of the Health Officer, but a habeas corpus IA as promptly obtained, on which the Mayor was taken before Judge Thompson, and gave bail for a hearing of the whole matter of conflicting jurisdiction on Tuesday. In the Court of Quarter Sessions,on Tues day, Judge Thompson heard the case of Mayor Henry, on a writ of habeas corpus, pending the charge of resisting Health Officer Hughes in the exercise of his official duties. Judge Thompson heard the evidence and arguments of counsel and decided that the Health Officer had exceeded his powers, as the closing of thp station house was un necessary and illegal, the nuisance having been abated. Ho therefore discharged Mayor Henry from arrest. The Fry libel suit against the Now York Herald. after having been tried several times, has been finally settled by the New York Supreme Court, affirming the result of the last trial, when a serdict of WOO was given for the plaintiff. General Calhoun's cosamission,as Surveyor General of Kansas r.nd Nebraska, having expired on the third of July, the President has tendered the office to General Ward B. Burnett, of New York. The Maine Democratic State Convention has nominated Manasseh H. Smith for Gov ernor, and adopted resolutions strongly en dorsing the national administration. The Salt Lake mail has arrived at the Missouri frontier, with news that General Johnston intended to start for the city on the 13th, with three thousand men in colu mns. Captain Marcy's command had ar rived from New Mexico with fifteen hun dred mules. The new territorial Secretary had gope to Salt Lake city. A party of fifty Mormons, who had escaped from the valley, were met at Platte bridge, wending thir way to the States. Another party of three hundred Mormons, well armed and mounted, had been encountered, but they refused to tell their errand. The Mormon host will emigrate to Sonora or the Russian possessions, next spring, if any but Mor mons be placed over them in authority. A letter from one of the Utah Peace Com missioners has been received by the gover ment at Washington, in which he says that the reason why the Mormons deserted their habitations was to guard their women from the soldiers, and to prevent the disaffected Mormons from seeking the protection of the army. lie says that they think the army has not orders to pursue them, and that, therefore, they are now safe. The commis sioners were going at once to Salt Lake city. President Monroe's remains arrived at Richmond Va., on Monday, and were receiv ed by a procession of soldiers and citizens, the Governor, Mayor,ete., and taken to Hollywood Cemetery, whore they were reinterred. A grand dirge was performed there and Governor Wise delivered an ad dress. MEM By the arrival at New York, on Tuesday, of the steamship City of Washington, from Liverpool, we have English papers as late as the 2311. The Coolie emigration question had been brought up in Parliament by the Bishop of Oxford, who intimated that the so-called scheme of free emigration had proved to be slavery in its worst form.— Lord Brougham said it wits the absolute duty of the government to immediately pro hibit the system. Great preparations were being made for the formal opening of the Submarine Telegraph. The Queen will inaugurate the event by sending a peace message to President Buchanan, The war steamer Bloodhound had arrived at England from the coast of Africa, and a court of in quiry was being held on board in the mat ter of the capture of the American barque' Thomas Watson, near Sierra Leon. LErrns.—Bayard Taylor, on hie way to Bergen, in Norway, says—"We took on board four or five lepers, on their way to the hospital at Bergen. A piece of oil cloth had been thrown over some spars to shield them from the rain, and they sat on deck, avoided by the other passengers, a melan choly picture of disease and shame. One was a boy of fourteen, upon whose face wart like excrescences were beginning to appear while a woman, who seemed to bo his moth er, was hideously swollen and disfigured.— A man crouching down with his head be tween his hands, endeavored to hide the seamed and knotted mass of protruding blue flesh which had once been a human face.— The forms of leprosy, elephantiasis, and other kindred diseases which I have seen in the East and in the tropical countries, are not nearly so horrible. For these unfortu nates there was nu hope. Some years more or less of a life to which they could look forward. No cure has yet been discovered fur this terrible disease. There are two hospitals here, one of which contains about five hundred patients, while the other, which has recently been erected fur the reception of cases in the earlier stages, who may be subjected to expermental courses of treat ment, has already one hundred. Thisform of leprosy is supposed to be produced partly by exclusive diet of salt fish, and partly by want of personal cleanliness. The latter is the most probable cause, and one does not wonder at the result after ho has had a lit tle experience of Norwegian filth. It is the awful curse which falls upon these beastly habits of life." TROFBLES OF A Masan! MUSIC MASTER.— Mrs. Hornsby, who has recently published a work giving her "Adventures in and around Stamboul," says that when there she became much interested in a young French lady, who, in giving an account of the fallen fortunes of her family, also de scribes a new trouble. Mrs. Horuby says: "It seems that her young brother, who is remarkably good looking, aria showed a great talent for music, was sent to Vienna in their prosperous days for his education. His piano forte playing is thought much of here; and being so poor, and the Sultan bay ing set the fashion of Turkish ladies learn ing music, ho now gives lessons to the wives and daughters of several Parhas on the Bosphorus. He is married, greatly at tached to his wife, and has two pretty chi dren; added to this, he is a grace, shy young man. Well, Dhudu's trouble for her brother is this: He goes quietly in the morning to give his lesson. Perhaps there aro two or three veiled ladies in the room into which ho is ushered by the attendants. "Sometimes the Paella himself is there, but very seldom; there are always two or three black attendants. 'The lesson begins,' says Dhudu in a melancholy voice, 'and they are generally rather stupid. The men who guard them soon grow tired of look ing on and stroll to their pipes. They are hardly outside when down goes the yash make of ono of the ladies. She is very pretty, yet very tiresome: my brother is afraid to look at her. What should he do if the Pacha were suddenly to return, or one of the slaves to enter and report this to himl So he turns his head away and tries to induce her to go on with the lesson.— Would you believe it,' says Dhudu, still more indignantly, 'the other day she took hold of his chin, and turning his face to hers, said laughing. 'Why don't you look at me, you pig?' What can my brother do? The Pacha would never believe that it is not his fault. Sometimes one of them will creep under his piano forte, and put- ting her finger into his shoe tickle his foot. Yesterday they slipped two peaches into his pocket, tied up in muslin and blue ribbons, clapping their hands and laughing when he found it out. You know what those peaches mean? They 'mean kisses,' said Dhudu, coloring, 'and it made my brother so nervous, for the men were in the outer room, and might have heard all about it. lie would be sorryto have them punished, yet they make his life miserable. That pretty one is the worst of all, she is so daring. I visit at the harem, and went with my brother one warning. Knowing them so well, I took him in at the garden entrance, the way I always go myself. We 'heard somebody laugh a loud; merry laugh, and—oh what a fright I was in—there she was, up in a peach tree. My brother turned his head away, and walked on very fast, she pelted peaches at him, then got out of the tree, and would have run after him, if I had not stopped her.' And here poor Dhudu fairly cried, 'What can my brother do?" On the Cure of Consumption. CONTINUATION OF SERIES BY DR. WOLFE I= To the Editor of the Missouri Democrat: In my last letter I pointed out that the treatment of consumption resolves itself into local, general and hygienic. I propose here to take up the local treatment as the theme of this letter. It has been a desideratum with the medical profession, since the days of Hippocrates, to discover some effectual mode of applying remedies directly to the diseased surfaces of the lungs, for it has always been received as an accepted fact, that where attainable, ]ocnl applications should always be employed along v7 ,4 .h con stitutional remedies, which laticr are often rendered unnecessary, when the former can be used. AcCordingly we find in the writ ings of Hippocrates, and the chain of medi cal writers from his time down to the pres ent, traces of efforts to apply this method to the diseases of the lungs, but all of the crudest kind, resolving themselves into in haling fumigations arising from burning gums, resins, and herbs, the fumes of heated Cinnabar Realgar, and other substances volatizeable by heat. These were received into the throat, by holding the nose and mouth over the ascending vapors, and draw ing them into the lungs by inspiration.— Any one curious in such matters will find a description of this method of treatment in Boerhaaves commentaries, article con sumption. This was the condition of the therapeutics of inhalation for 2500 years. I think that Dr. Mudge, of London, is justly entitled to the merit of having taken the first practical step towards the modern mode of inhalation, although he was not aware of the full extent of the reformation in treatment of diseases of the lungs, that he had initiated. About thirty years ago, he invented the inhaler, that goes by his name, a heavy, clumsy, pewter affair, that how ever, answered the purpose exceedingly well; but it was expensive, and soon fell still born, although he pointed out many advantages to be derived from its use, par ticularly in quinsy, sore throats, and info mations of the lining membrane of the air passage. His announcement contained the germ of a great truth, and therefore the medical faculty were not ready for it. Its effect was too inaugurate a revo lution in the treatment of long diseases; this would require considerable laborious investigation before it could be perfected, and besides it clashed with preconceived notions; therefore, it was howled down, or neglected by the magnates of the profession, and the yelping pack bayed in union. But the subject has not been allowed to sleep, and in every civilized country laborers in this field are working silently and assidu ously, and in a few years the whole profes sion will be compelled to adopt the scientific employment of medicated inhalation, ns in dispensable to the proper treatment of chest diseases. In discussing the question of treatment, upon the period of the complaint at which a case of consumption presents itself for treatment, will very much depend the prob ability of a cure. Dr. Sewell, in some of his letters has pointed out, that the earlier a case is taken in band, the,greater the cer tainty of a cure, and that the chances of this favorable result dimiaiill in an almoit arithmetical proportion, the more the disor ganization of the lungs is allowed to pro gress before applying for treatment. Un fortunately, the largest proportion of these cases, which have hitherto come under our care, have been in the last stnge of con firmed consumption—cases in which part of one or both lungs was not only broken down into ulcerous cavities, but the strength of the constitution exhausted by the progress of the disease, and by the different kinds of treatment to which they have been sub jected. I need hardly. say, that such cases aro no proper test of the efficacy of any system of treatment. Humanity, with the desire to relieve, is the only influence that can induce the physician to receive such as patients at all; since many seek for treat ment in an utterly hopeless state, and can but bo made comfortable by the highest skill within the power of man. We have been obliged to refuse several applicants, who were so far gone, that even the poor comfort of temporary relief seemed unavailable. Yet, notwithstanding all these disadvantages and discouragement, a larger proportion of recoveries have taken place among this class through the4pstrurnentali ty of inhalation, than has ever hitherto been possible to attain from every other means ar treatment. We have four cases now under treatment, where there are cavi ties in one or both lungs which, humanly speaking, we feel confident of restoring to health. This then should be firmly impressed on the mind, that the earlier the presence of pulmonary disease can be detected, ;TM did sooner the patient comes under treatment, the better chance for deriving benefit, and stronger probability of ultimate cure; but to insare this, the treatment must be persevered in as long as the least vestige of disease remains, for it would act as an irritating nucleus for the reproduction of the com plaint. It will be recollected that the commence ment of consumption is the deposit of gray tubercles in the lungs, and that this is com monly synchronous with the little hack and short-windedness on exertion, that are usu ally the first syrnptons remarked by the pa tients or their friends. In the second stage these tubercles undergo a change of struc ture and become yellow and cheesy. Now the hack becomes a decided cough, and a sticky, clear or grayish mucus is expectora ted, chiefly in the morning. The third stage consists in the yellow tubercles becoming infiltrated with matter, softening down, breaking into the bronchial tubes, beingex pectorated, and leaving cavities secreting matter. In this stage we have hectic fever, exhausting sweats and diarrhoea, with the other concomitants that rapidly wear out the patient. I remain your obedient servant, N. B. WOLFE, M. D. St. Louis Mo.
