ANOTGER SAD WARNING TO BOYS. —A lad about twelve years of age, son of Charles Grove, of this place, had his loot badly crushed while attempting to get on the cars, on Saturday last. He was taken to his home in Walnut street, corner of Commerce. Ms foot and ankle were so badly mangled that amputation was deem ed necessary. The operation was per formed by Dr. }tinkle, assisted by Drs. Grove and Case. This is but another sad warning to boys. Parents should endeavor, as far as possible, to keep their children from about the railroads. OUR NEW PftEsS.—We received our new Steam Power Drum Cylinder Print ing Press, on Wednesday last. It is a mammoth concern, weighing over five thousand pounds. We are under paric ular obligations to Mr. W. W. Tipp, for the valuable assistance he rendered in getting it into our office. We will en deavor to have it in operation next week. We expect to issue our paper in an enlarg ed form in a short time. The improve ments now making will necessitate a great outlay, and we would request all who have any of the printers' dollars sticking about their clothes to send them on; they will gladden our heart and make the future look brighter. ANOTELEIt HEittsE.—Another hearse, similar to the one built sometime ago for Mr. John Shenberger, of this place, has just been finished, at the steam carriage manufactory of Christian Myers, for Mr. Geo. Seibert, of this borough. It is a most beautiful piece of workmanship, and has not that disagreeable appearance which is peculiar to most vehicles of the kind. The sides of the hearse are of oval glass, about 3S by SO inches. The back is round, with doors corresponding with the sides. The interior is tastefully lined and trim med with black cloth and tassels. Two gold-plated lamps decorate the sides of the driver's seat. The coffin, when in, is raised to the view by two small trucks which-are attached to the table. LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE.—In an other column will be found an advertise ment of the Lebanon Valley College. This is one of the most flourishing schools in the State, and students are coming in from all quarters. The Principal, Rev. T. R. Vickroy, is a man well fitted for the posi tion be occupies. Any school would flourish under his guidance and superin tendence ; as ho is a ripe scholar, a strict disciplinarian, and careful in the selection of teachers. The Church Conference which met on the 21st ult., appropriated $35,000 for the purpose of purchasing additional ground and erecting suitable buildings. A Charter is now before the Legislature, giving this institution full Collegiate pow ers, and making Prof. Vickroy President of the College, for four years. UNKEASANT 'WEATHER.—We have had a considerable quantity of snow and rain during the week, making the streets very disagreeable and sloppy. It is a good time to take cold, and the doctors expect ,the usual increase of business which always accompanies this kind of weather. We offer a few hints upon the most approved methods of supplying them with cases. -Persons who are partial to rheumatism should wear thin boots and be careful to keep them well soaked with snow-water. A. quick fever can be produced by leaving off overcoats. Neuralgia complaints are open to all who walk till they become heated, and then stop at the corner of a street and cool off by a genial chat With some good fellow. Coughs are free to all who insist upon throwing ;veil their coats in order to catch the gentle south breeze 'which prevails. - The ladies are such thor ough experts in this att that lye need not offer them any suggestions ; but by aban doning their cloaks and ruhbers, and re sorting to gaiters and shawls, they will . remelt their gruel diet kly a short cut. - FIREMEN'S MEETlNG.—At•a.meeting of the Vigilant Fire Company, held on Tuesday evening last, at the Hall of the Susquehanna Piro Company, the following officers were elected to serve the remain der cf the year: Wesley Davis, Chief Di rector; George IV.

In London a large bill-posting firm has offered the English government $70,000 in gold, a y car, for the privilege of using the fence around Hyde Park for advertising purposes. In America, as an evidence of the effect of advertising on the public, it is said that when a citizan of New York re cently advertised for a wife, he received about 1,800 answers from husbands, saying he could have theirs. COUNCIL MEETING.—A. special meet ing of the Town Council was held last Sat urday evening, Mr. Upp in the Chair. Mr. Gossler stated that Senator Billings folt had informed him that the House of Repropentatives had passed an aet supple mentary to our Borough Charter, assess ing two-thirds of the damages sustained is opening streets, upon the Borough, and one-third upon the County. On motion of Mr. Shreiner, it was _Resolved,- That a Committee of two be appointed to prepare a remonstrance against the passage of said supplement, have it signed by the citizens of the Bor ough, taken to Harrisburg and presented to the Senate. Committee—Messrs. Shreiner and Bach man. PROGRESSIVE—The age in which we live; and those who would succeed must ever bear this in mind and in trk time to it. Fully aware of this fact and ever ready to meet the wants of his trade, J. A. AfEYEas, Apothecary, is constantly adding to his already large stock of Patent Medi cines; the latest addition is Upham's Fresh Meat Cure, now attracting great attention as a remedy for Consumption and Dyspepsia; it is novel and new. Try it. THE SUSQUEHANNA FISHERIES.— An extract from a letter to CoI. Worrell, from a friend down the river: March sth, 1867. COL. JAS. WORITALL, IlAnnisnuaa, Dear Sir—" It gives me much pleasure to inform you that the new "fish weir" in the dam at Columbia has passed the severe ordeal of this hard winter with but little injury from flood and ice." [Rather, we should suppose, adding than substracting from its useftilness as a weir,—Ed.] "It is also very gratifying to be able to in form you that the quantity of fish in the pool above the dam, at the present time, e;'cends anything known formerly. I have this information from reliable per sons at Columbia and Wrightsville, and above, who say the catch at this early peri od of the season is unprecedented. I trust when the shad begin to run, the same gratifying facts will be exhibited with reference to this kind of fish also."— .Tfarriaburg Telegraph. . . . BISUOT; WooD has issued the folkw ing rules .for the observance Of Lent in the Diocese of Philadelphia,which commenced on Wednesday last, the 6th inst. 1. - All the faithful who have completed their twenty-first year, aro bound to ob serve the Fast of Lent, unless dispensed for legitimate reasons. 2.

F. WOOO, Bishop of Philadelphia. OATH EDUAL, Philadelphia. The Bells. MIL EDITOR:—Some persons have pro gressive ideas, and everything not in ac cordance with their way of thinking or doing, is anti-progression. Among this class may be found G.Y., Tr., (5.7, Co.— While they profess to be in favor of new ideas and new ways, they still hold fast to old theories and political dogmas, suited better for the past centuries, than for the Present. Man-selling, treason and traitors, are things which appear to be no crimes, in the eyes of these men ; but the simple ringing of a few church bells is a horrible thing l—a terrible nuisance!—an outrage upon the community !--in fact too had a thing to be tolerated anion, a civilized people. So thinks the "Ilerald"—the live paper. More space has been taken up in its columns, in denouncing the ringing of church bells, than ever was occupied in denouncing slavery, sedition, rebellion, profanity, intemperance, or any of the crimes of the clay. But I suppose these things ore progressives, good and noble virtues, (especially if found in our Southern brethren), while the ringing of the bells to call the people to worship God, is an awful thing and ought not to be tolerated. Men are daily to be seen and heard, profaning God's name, destroying themselves by in temperance and other vices, and yet no voice is raised against these things. But 0, those horrible bells! which remind men of God—His Day and their duty to Him— they are intolerable evils, and our Council ought to vote them a nuisance at once. I cant see 'why these bells (scarcely more than three at any one time ringing) should hurt any one's feelings ; but sup pose they disturb these progressives on the Sabbath, in preparing matter for their paper; tbr how can any_ one expect pro gressive people to write editorials, read ex changes, or correct proofs for -a live pro gressive paper, with three church bells ringing in their ears, reminding them of the Command: "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." If it is necessary to do the work of a paper on Sunday, I sug gest to them that they had better have an office somewhere in the country ; away from the sound of these troublesome bells, which perhaps suggest very unpleasant thoughts to those who care not for God's house or His worship; and delights in calling ministers " Rev. Yankee thieves," cte. For my part. I say let the bells ring ; there is a sweet music in the sound, which tells of pleasant duties to perform and of glorious privileges to be enjoyed. To christian hearts the sound of the church bell is a welcome sound, in viting him to the pleasant worship of God's people; but to the Sabbath breaker and transgressor of God's Lam, it has no doubt a harsh and unpleasant sound. Mar. S, '67.) A Loy int OF TILE BELLS. Mn. EDITOR—,Sir: One of the "Herald" scribblers in this week's issue, who signs himself " Progress," censures Justice Evans, for committing a certain person to prison for " taking a brass kettle," and questions the utility of publishing police reports; he forgetting that he has given the case more publicity by attracting the attention of his readers to it. What "Pro gress" says about the Justice hunting up felonies for the purpose of making busi ness and getting costs from the county, is all "poppy-cock," and he knows nbt whereof he writes. i'Ve don't believe in compounding felonies. These are the facts in the case : Whilst the American House was on tire, a few weeks ago, "Pro gress' " friend went to a cupboard of a neighbors, and took therefrom a brass kettle, and immediately went to a dealer in old iron, (tc., and sold it for fifty cents, stating to said dealer in old iron, that he had one other kettle, weighing about two hundred pounds, which he would bring up and sell. It was proven that there was such a kettle on the same premises from which said brass kettle was taken, and it did not belong to said " friend" or his re lations. " Progress" dwells upon the "pocir weak minded being" ktc. He vas not aware, I suppose, that his weak friend had 'intelli gence enough to go to the polls and vote " every time" with him and his friends. And that this is not the first accusation for larcency made against him. lie has time and again been brought up for drunk enness, &c., and is one of the lowest speci mens of a drunkard that Columbia has ever been cursed with. - Jusr.tc.E. Mn. Enrron :—ln last week's number of your paper, a correspondent sends you a very elaborate communication, signing himself " POST." It is an old saying that there is nothing in a name, but surely " PosT" has a signification. Webster, which is undoubted authority, defines it thus: "Post—a piece of timber set upright, usually larger than a stake." Consequent ly Mr. " POST", must be a wooden man.— I would suppose from the communication that Mr. " PosT," i. e. wooden man, is per haps some itinerant clerk, who saunters to his office or place of employment, about nine o'clock in the forenoon, commencing his official duties (after recounting the ossip of the previous day) an hour later. Iris duties possibly continuing, with the exception of an hour or two at noon, until 3 P. M., when Mr. " Posr," i, a. wooden man, becomes wearied and dozy. Our worthy P. M. also publishes a com munication, in which she remarks that the principal citizens and business men of our town, signed a written request desiring tho change—closing.the office at 7 instead of 8 o'clock P. 111., flis heretofore. From the vindication of Mr. " POST" 1. e. wooden man, am Ito infer that the principal ec%7 germ—the petitioners for the change ofhour, constitute, as a class, the principal citizens which Mr. "Posy" so prominently illus.. trates? or are they the business community who compose the working and producing hire? If the latter, we have nothing fur thermore to say. Mar. , , '67.] PROGRESS. For the Spy Qualifications -of Teachers. Mn. EDITOR.—In remarking upon the qualifications necessary for a teacher of youth, I do not intend to reflect upon the fitness or suitableness of any of the teach ers in our Public Schools. But I merely note my observations upon the teachers selected by the School Directors, who con trol the appointment of teachers in the schools where my own children are privil eged to attend. Since no special examin ation before the Directors themselves (a good portion of whom are incompetent to judge) of the proficiency of the applicants in the studies they propose to teach, is made, but the Directors rely upon a certi ficate from the General Superintendent of Schools as a guarantee of ability to teach. I have discovered that there are other qualities beside " Reading, Arithmetic and Writing," necessary to constitute a good teacher. Not only unobjectionable moral character, but at least some degree of civilization ; some courtesy of manner, some patience and kindness, some willing ness, and some desire to terzeh. Now, I hayz seen, within some years past, in schools I could name, persons in charge of a large school of boys and girls, between 10 and 10 years of age, whose manners were so entirely rude and vulgar us to overbalance any. good that their school exercises gave the pupil. No order in school, no care for them out of it, at times of recess or their play-hours round the school house. With such, no child, no large boy or girl, could be benefited by this example, or made a more useful, agreeable member of the household: or community, by r attenclance at such schools. I have also known—in this age of progress too, when capital punishment is abolished so generally, when flogging in the army and navy is abandoned, and philanthrophy so much in vogue—such intemperate and violent whippings of little children in school, by teachers who could not control their temper, that I have resolved, for my own part, to revert, as such•leachers do, to the age of barbarism, agalarlf it be neces- sary, in the defence of My own ehildren, if the law allows no remedy; and School Di rectors make selections of teachers with out reference to their moral character and fit dispositions to teach children MORE NEW GOODS.—An extensive as sortment of new and cheap dry goods,boots, shoes, notions, &c., has been opened, dur ing the week, at the store of I. O. Bruner, Go and see those cheap prints, elegant collars, de., &c. llis goods were bought at low prices, ancthe sells accordingly. For the Ser TIIII STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION' vs. MISZILLR'S BlTTERS.—Everybody will admit that Temperance is very good, but there is such a thing as intemperance even in what is luau; n as the Temperance movement. We think that the members of the recent State Temperance Convention at Harrisburg were guilty of intemperance when they stepped from their true sphere to denounce in bitter language that well known.medical preparation—Mishler's Herb Bitters. We ore surprised that this attack should come from and be urged on by Dr. Keneagy, of this county, who certainly must be aware that Mishler's Bitters is not a ruin priparat ion, but is universally recogiz ed as a powerful remedial agent. Dr. K. is well a , - qurtinted with the medical properties and uses of the ingredients of Mishler's Bitters, and also that cures innumerable, and seine of them almost miraculous in their nature, have been performed solely by the use of these Bitters. Among those who have been cured are some of the strongest temperance advocates—persons who uould never think of taking a drink of intoxicating liquors. Knowing these facts ire cannot understand why Dr. Keneagy should class Misnler's Bitters with certain nostrum.; composed pi inc ipally of whiskey and bitter roots, and sold as gar drink, under the names of Tonics, Cordials or Bitters. These artic les are fit subjects for the dentine ation of Dr. K. and all temperance men, Ira to include Misher's Bitters with the elan, referred to above is simply absurd and shows n hack of discernment to say the least of it. 'lnc laboratory of Mr. M:shler is open to the in spection of every one, and physicians, esoecially, hare been and are invited to 17i , it. the establishment. They will there see how Mishler's Bitters are made: how the spirits are passed over 0) bushels of maple coal and thereby divested of all poisonous proper ties and made chemically pure; how itfterwaii is the spirits arc conveyed over about 150 bushels of the finest and best roots, herbs, and seed, found in the U.S. Dispensatory; in fact they ti ill see and have explained to them the whole Moth Us operandi of manu facturing these Bitters. The highest doctors, not only in this State, hut in the United Suites, or even in the whole world, use these Bitters in their practice. Dr. Bisset, the health physician of New Vorb, and Dr. Lane, of Chicago, a physician of twenty-live ,years than whom there is no better doetors in Anteri.et, have both effected astoni,ldng cures with these -Bitters., after other pstnedies u'4 piled, And with them so it is with all other , intNligent physicians; they at once see and recogniztxthe fact that Mt-hives Bitters are par extet:gee the greatest and bent 111.;:t -cal preparation of the day. If Dr. Keneagy has no faith in these Bitters why does he not claim the •.7'., - ,00 reward offered by Mr. Mishler for a better medical compoend ? This offer was made in good faith by Mr. :11ishlor. and was published very extensively. Certainly Dr. K. must have seen it, and it would hate been 111.101 better for him if he had stepped forth and claimed this reward instead of running np to Harrisburg and, mule: a pretence th of aoeatin; Temperance, denounce that which is really and truly go One brand of these Bitters, the red label, in ad dition to the other ingri_dients contains an arti.2le, whioh we defy any quack doctor in this country to procure; we allude to Cedron. This is on exceed ingly scone and a highly v s luable medieament. Indeed the supply of it in this country is so small that Mr. Mishler commissioned his business man ager. Mr. Crown, now in England, to purchase a quantity of it there. The medical properties of this article is given in the U. S. Dispensatory, p. p. 1:107 Although recognized by the best mediegl writers. as possessing wonderful power, Cedron was never used by physic - nails to this country ow ing in its scarcity and high price. It remained for Mr. Mishler to brim , this article prominently before the American people. which he has done in the pre paration of his red label Bitters. let Dr. E.mcggy, the reformer, denounces this article as injurious to the eause of temperance. With the P:1111 , show of reason he might denounce nil of the various tinc tures and extracts containing alcohol, which he, in common with all mher doctors, constantly use. But enough. Before Dr. Keneagy advocates tem perance lie should first learn to practice it himself. For tho Srp Dn. KENEIGY—Dear Sir: I will give yon Slow if you will, within eight days, procure me one ounce of Cedron, au article used extensively in the pre paration of rny Bitters.
