MASONIC HALI, ASSOCIATION.—A meeting of the Masonic Hall Association took place on Saturday evening last, but there not being a quern in,of the corpora tors present, no business was done, though at the same time the members are active in the prosecution of the enterprise. " TnE BLACK BOSCIUS."—J. IL Smyth, better known as the Black Rosci us, will give one of his highly entertaining readings at Temperance Hall, Marietta, on Tuesday evening next.

THE Columbia Banks, as will be seen by their advertisements in to-day's paper, are ottering 5 1-2 per cent. interest per year. ._l3lth of these institutions are man aged with care, and therefore the comma nity around them have the utmost confi dence in their integrity. Our old friend Colonel Shoch is known as one of the best financiers in the country.—Express. ENLAitGED.— The Reading Daily Dispatch has just been enlinged and great ly improved. It is an independent and spicy paper, intensely Republican in sen timent, and is becoming one of the most popular journals in Old Berks. We wish the Dispatch great success. —The Gettysburg Star has also been en la reed and "dressed up in Sunday clothes." Your paper looks well Bro. I\l'lllienny, mid we hope your people will appreciate your efforts to give them a first-class paper. NO MORE RACING--The managers of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, have recently resolved to offer no more premiums for fast horses, and there is a strong feeling in favor of excluding all monstrosities, mountebanks and side shows from their exhibition grounds, hereafter. We are rejoiced to witness this evidence of growing piety on the part of this association, but we regard it as about the last card of a most palpable, swindling humbug. THE PENNA. CANAL—Owing to the repairs and improvements now .being made to the Pennsylvania Canal, we learn that the water will not be let in until the first of April, or probably a few clays after that time. During the past winter the canal company have been mocking numer ous improvements, both on the main stein and, its branches, to extend il.teilities fur transporters. *ft is anticipated that a larger amount of coal, iron, lumber, will be carried to the Eastern mid Southern markets, by way of Pennsylvania canal, the coming' season, than has ever been heretofore. LENT.—The observances of Lent are .fully inaugurated. As early as the begin ning of the second century, the observance of - the Lenten fast was made observatory. 'The origin of the word Lent is uncertain ; ;some writers claiming its derivation from Zeneten,aSaxon word meaning to lengthen, -and others again' from the German lenien, - io thaw, because the season in which it occurs is spring, orthe time when the days lengthen. The general mode of observance in the Catholic Church is I he same through out the world, but there are various modi fications of the rules prescribed in different countries. PERSONAL.—F. li. Stauffer, Esq formerly of the Mount Joy ITerald, has gone to Woonsocket. Rhode Island, to take charge of the editorial department of the Patriot published at that place, Suc cess to him. —T. W. Brown, Esq., of Lancaster city, has just returned from his trip to London, whither lie had gone to establish an agency for Mishler's Bitters. His trip was very successful and his voyage out, pleasant, but on his return he was twenty-two days in crossing the Allantic,something unusual for our ocean steamers. He is looking ex ceedingly well. Serves hint right, too. We presume hit will be taking a lot of the .Bitters to the Paris Exposition. tqIIAN D ENT MINA EN EN T ---Oue of the greatest treats in the way of an entertainmentovill be given to the citizens of Columbia, on Monday evening next, March ISth.

This entertainment has been given in different parts of the State, with groat satisfaction, to large and intelligent audi ences, and no doubt Odd Fellows' Hall will be crowded on Monday evening next.

Well i n, Lucius White. MAitcri.—Mars was the supposed father of Romulus who divided the year into months and called the:::Pia - sent one March, in honor of his paretitagd. Origin .ully it was the first month of the year, but January and February having been added . to the cal en de r by . ..*)na, about seven hun dred years beforo4a-Illiristian era, it be tcame the third, and es such has remained .until the present time. Although the first of March is now look ed upon as the commencement of Spring, yet the old year did not begin until the twenty-firth of the month, after the storms attending tho vernal equinox were over, and Sheiah and St. Patrick had their say in the regulation of the weather. What is usually called "the old style," is still ad hered to •V- some persons, and there is considerable wisdom in it, for we seldom grave any real spring weather, until the closing week in March or the commence ment o: April. COAL—Messrs. Bruner & Moore have made arrangements, Whereby our citizens, and all dealers, can be furnished with cheap con]. They will sell, direct from first hands, one ton or ono hundred car loads, as the purchaser may desire. WE Asa: requested to announce a special opening of new ingrain, three ply and brussels carpets, and a general assortment of quecnsware for housekeepers, at Fon dersmith's store, on Monday. Something rich may be expected. The daily arrivals of goods at this store, and the constant throng of customers, does not .look like "dull times." GOOD INK.—What is the use of buy. ing English Inks, when an article superior to Arnolds' or any other of English manu facture can be procured in this country ? Fahnestocks' Nonpareil Chemical Writing Fluid, we believe to be the best in the world ; we use none other. J. Spangler, general agent, Marietta, Pa. W. U. Hess' is the agent for this celebrated ink in Columbia. "COMMEMORATIVE WEDDINGS." Two years after the wedding is the "paper 'Wedding;" the fifth anniversary is the "wooden wedding ;" the tenth the "tin wedding;" the fifteenth the "crystal wed ding ;" the twentieth tho " china wedding ;" the twenty-fifth the "silver wedding;" the fiftieth the "golden wedding;" theseventy 'fth the "diamond wedding." THE GROVER. & BAKER SEWING AcHINE.—"The Grover &Baker Machine is superior to other machines because it takes less time to learn to run them ; it takes a less skillful operator to learn to use them; it takes less muscular effort to do the same amount of work on them; the stitch is much easier managed; the opera tor can easily change from light work to heavy work, and the work.when done, is a great deal stronger than is done on any other machine." LOOK TO Youit FEET.—"Keep your head cool, and your feet warm," is a hygenic maxim which all would do well to observe. Gents may keep the head cool by avoiding bricks in their hats, while the ladies can fully accomplish the same result by wearing the latest style of bonnet. As to your feet, they can always be kept warm, dry and comfortable, if you purchase your shoes or gaiters at Bruner's Store. lie has a large assortment and sells cheap. lie has also a new lot of spring goods which he sells at reduced prices. I, 0. Bruner, Front street, above Locust. COLUMBIA AND PORT DEPOSIT BAIL ROAD.—The ground occupied by the line of this road, along the Susquehanna, is important to two interests. In connection with the Reading and Columbia Railroad, and the interest owning that work, it -would open from the Pinegrove anthracite coal region a short and direct route to tide water at the head of Chesapeake Bay, for the supply of Baltimore and all southern markets. On the other hand, in the pos session of the Northern Central Railway Company, it will give that thoroughly recuperated and now prosperous corpora tion, control of a continuous line of uni formly descending grade to the head of Chesapeake Bay, whence connections are open east to Wilmington and New Castle, and south to Baltimore and Washington. But above and beyond this consideration, the Columbia and Port Deposit link will open to tidewater an outlet from all the vast bituminous coal region in and west of the Alleghenies, from which the present rivulets to the seaboard are destined to swell into large streams, for the supply of a fast-growing market. The railroad sys tem which occupies the main Susquehanna and its tributaries stretching west, is in complete; whilst the Susquehanna valley, below Columbia, is unoccupied. And President Cameron, who is a Sus quehanna man, alive to an appreciation of his native valley as a great al tory of iron as well as of water, in the grand movement of interior commerce, will have accom plished another success.when the North ern Central, as one of the dove-tailed roads which occupy so much,Of the State, shall enjoy a river-side exit ll*4l , oBS' the• Maryland line, to a shipping t irtBiriiis at tidewater. The Peansylvania, Railroad Company's policy and interest harmonize with the in tended occupation of the Susquehanna Valley, below Columbia, by the Northern Central Railway Company. The Pennsyl vania Railroad Company, in 1800, trans ported 1,413,181 tons of coal, which was an increase of 338,42,4 tons over the quantity of coal carried in 1805. To the Pennsylva nia Railroad Company, therefore, as to the Northern Central Railway Company, the Columbia and Port Deposit link is an argent necessity which cannot be post poned, without prolonging and accumu lating embarrassment to themselves, and to the forwarders of coal over their co operating lines. We copy the above from the Philadel phia/lc/Um:/ and Mining Register. Whilst the writer is not entirely correct in his opinion as to the parties controlling this enterprise, yet so far as the import ance of it is concerned he covers, at least, a portion of the ground, Eorrou:—Thero is an old saying that the "galled jade will wince," and it has never been more fully exemplified than by your correspondent "Progress," in his vain attempt to refute the assertions made in my communication of the 21 inst. See ing the folly of his remarks, he finds a "hole to creep out at" by trying to enlight en your readers by giving them the defini tion of the word "post." From among the many definitions that Noah Webster gives, Mr. "Progress" selects the one that would hest suit the "figment of his wild imagin ation," fw-getting to quote the chief and primary meaning of the word, knowing that it related to the very subject he was "sounding his trumpet" against. Pre sumptuous fellow ! what a libel on the man you call "undoubted authority." I would inform "Progress" that "Post" never signed the petition to change the hour of closing the Post-office, that he is not an "itinerant clerk," but he is one of those Who works all day and always gets his until matter before the office closes. Nor does he belong to tite "political clique" called" Thugs." Nor doeshe say to one man go, and hegoeth ; and to another, come, and he cometh. Nor does lie say to our very worthy Post-master, " for me _and mine I pray- thee keep the office open until eight o'clock p. "Progress" is a- beautiful word, but when associated with one who "croaks and finds fault," I fear it is being robbed of its bounty, and the one assuming the name reminds the of the old fable of the "wolf in the clothing of the sheep." In bidding farewell to the subject, let me remind "Progress" that in names as in flowers "the handsomest is not always the sweetest. Post'. 3112. EDITOR:—I saw an advertisement in your paper signed Wardens, saying "there is no controversy between a Roman Catho lic Priest and the Pastor of the G. E. Lu theran Church of Columbia. We have only one G.. E. Lutheran Church in Colum bia, Lte." That is true, there is only one G. E. Lu theran Church in Columbia, and the only one that is acknowledged by the Pennsyl vania Synod, and Rev. Mr. Darmstadter iv the pastor. The history of if is just this : The reason why the Rev. Mr. Darmstadter is not the pastor of the so-called G. E. Lu theran Church, is bec•ause he would not preach for a congregation that would coun tenance lager beer pie-nits and balls for the benefit of the church. They had made application time and again to the Synod for a pastor, but they would not give them one until they made things all right with Rev. Mr. Darmstadter, so they took up any renegado they could get a hold of. and some of them are not very scrupulous sitting in lager beer saloons and swilling down. lager, some oven getting so drunk that they had to postpone the services on the Sabbath. I would have said nothing about all this, only to let the English com munity know how the Rev. I\fr. Dann stadter stands in regard to the so-called G. E. Lutheran Lager-beer Congregation. A MEALBER, of the 0. Lutheran Congregation COUNCIL.—A: stated meeting of Coun• cil was held last evening, Mr. Supplee in the chair. All present except Mr. Gossler. Mr. Green, Chairman of Finance Com mittee, reported that they had failed to ob tain any loans. John Eddy was elected Borongh Assessor. On motion of Mr. Bachman the following resolutions were , adopted : RESOLVED, That . the borough tax for the year 1897 be assessed at the rate of seventy-flea cents on the one hundred dollars valuation, and that an abatement of five per cent. be made on said tax, if paid on or before the first day of July ensuing. RESOLVED, That appeals will be heard at the Town Hall, between the hours of two and five on the afternoon of Thursday, May flth. On motion of Mr. Shreiner a resolution was adopted ordering the houses to be numbered, and the streets properly desig nated. It was also resolved that before the open ing of any street, the borough Regulator shall give an estimate; of the cost thereof, so that the Council can make an appropria tion therefor. VIGILANT FIRE COMPANT.—A meet ing of the Vigilant Fire Company was held last evening. Quite a number of persons were proposed for membership, and on being balloted for, were, with a few exceptions all elected. David Smedley was elected Chief Engineer. Hose Guards and Axemen were also • elected. Tie next meeting of the Company will be held on the first Friday in April, at the Vigilant Engine House. THE HOUSES TO BE NUMBERED.— We are glad to see by. last evening's pro ceedings of Council, that they have acted upon our suggestion, made a few weeks since, to have the houses numbered, dc.c. THE first raft of the season arrived on Tuesday last. The Columbia Nursery. This has now become so well known that it is hardly necessary to call the attention of the public to it. The universal popularity of die establish ment has become so general that it does not need advertising; still, from the fact that the crowd of customers at the nursery every spring and fall is so great, and the quantity of stock sent out so enor mous, that the impression often prevails among the people "that we are closing out the concern." It is true that I send out much more stock from the nursery every year than we are able to grow on our own grotinds, but my arrangements are such with other nurseries that I am able every spring and fall to supply my customers with a better assortment, finer stock, and at lower rates than any other estab lishment in this section of the country. The orna mental department of the concern is now better stocked than it has ever been before. Our three green houses, two hot-beds, and cool-frames will agreeably surprise our customers this spring. Hav ing additional experienced help about the green houses and nursery this spring, I take pleasure in assuring the publi, that the annoyance heretofore experienced by many of our customers in being obliged to Wail, sometimes hours for their turn to come to be waited upon, will hereafter be obviated. ha come on in crowds as usual, we are prepared to give you all a cordial and pleasant reception, and hope to send you all away smiling. To the ladies I would say that our verbenas, as well as all oilier dowering, plants, are healthy and tine. All of the lovely new flowers that teased your fancy last year, and so tantelized you because money could not buy them, are new for sale as cheap as any old sorts. All are invited to call and examine our stock for themselves and make their own selections, if pos sible. Those who cannot, if they send in their orders I will give them my personal attention. All packing clone by careful and expel ienced hands. All stock warranted genuine and true to label letter of inquiry, and all other eommunications promptly answered. Address S. 11.
