We wonder if this :personage is a relative of "Denies Dewsen :berry." whose learned dissertation on goose" appears on the first page. One of the best evidences of the good ef fect of our criticism upon the Herald's P - lice Gazette department, is the amount of bad grammar devoted to its replies. Nearly et column in answer to twenty-four lines. shows that somebody is mad, and feels very sore. A little of Grier's Corn Salvo might afford relief or some of Mrs. WILISIONV'S Soothing Syrup. Our success in slisparuging the ten-pin alley projects of the Herald was quiteas Battering as our efforts in rebuking the indecency and obscenity which have polluted or filled its columns. As announced in last week's SPY, the .2Eolians assisted in the musical entertain ment given at Lancaster by tho Manner chor on Monday evening. Lanousterians speak flatteringly of their part in the pro gramme. The Express says : The ,Eolian Quartette Club of Columbia was present and sang several spirited quar tettes in the English. Their singing elicited the highest commend:lton antd was warmly applauded, and once rapturously encored. The voices of the gentleman court osing the -quartette are full, rich and clear, and their _singing excellent. Our neighors of Colum bia shoula foster this band of really tine ,performers. THEVISFTATION OF oun..Punmo SCHOOLS, —ln his last annual repprt, ,Mr. David Evaus,Superintendent of the Public schools of this county, makes the following signifi cant statement. " Eighty-five schools re mained unvisited last year, and there is no probability that less will remain unvisited nex year." The reasons Mr. Evans asigns for this failure to visit are the increase in the number of schools, the increase of time and labor required to conduct the exami nations of teachers, and attend to official correspondence. The visits of the County Superintendent totho schools have contrib uted very largely to their prosprity.. They have incited and encouraged the scholars and teachers in their trying labors—warm ed up the too often indifferent directors,and in hundreds of instances broken down the barriers to progress of parental unconcern. We regret, therefore, not onlysthat Mr. Evans was compelled to leave so many schools unvisited, but that lie will be coin pelled to stay away from as many during the next year. This want must be provid ed for, and it devolves upon the directors to attend to it. "A. board of directors," I says . the State Superintendent, "can now, under the law, appoint its secretary Dis trict Superintendent, and pay him a stated salary. This plan works so well wherever Efficiently carried out,that it is thought the time has come to incorporate it more fully into the system as an essential part of it. Too little attention has heretofore been paid to this priviledge. Many directors think if they meet once a month to pay bills, and once a year to elect teachers, they are faith fully discharging their duties. Doing no more than that, they fail to discharge their real duty. They must encourage a love for learning, they must bring themselves into direct sympathetic intercourse with schol ars, teachers, and parents. If the Superin tendent is unable to visit the schools,, and the directors neverdurken its doorway,evils will creep in which will inflict serious in jury upon the school, the effects of which may require years to remove. We say then let the directors of every school district in our county see to it that the schools do not languish for want of official visitations. Our Public Schools demand now more than they ever did the attention of their friends by reason of the spirit of opposition which has lately been manifested towards them. FOOLISR FORTUNE EIUNTERS.--WO are informed that a number of foolish people, residing in and about Safe Harbor, this county, are almost nightly engaged in a fruitless search for buried gold on the rocky and wild bill opposite the Mansion house hotel,in that village. It is asserted by those, who have been silly enough to be duped by the impostors who are amusing themselves and filling their pockets at their expenee, that an Indian Spirit about seven feet high, with all the marked features of the Indian. appears at the wierd and solemn hour of midnight unto the money hunters and ex horts them to toil diligently on in search of the gold claimed by the Indian Spirit to have been taken from the French army by the Indians and secretly buried in the hill. Our informant also says that a certain for tune teller, in this city, is concerned in the matter and, when the money hunters have digged where said fortune teller has direct ed and have nevertheless failed to find gold, the fortune teller asserts that the Indian Spirit has removed the money since his last advice was given. In this way the Indian Spirit and the fortune teller keep their dupes constantly at work and reap from them a nice little " divy " of substantial green backs. One would hardly expect to rind in Lancaster county persons so grossly igno rant as to be thus imposed upon by the most arrant impostors.—lntelliganccr. —We have been told that more than one midnight expedition in search of Spirit guarded treasures, has been made in this neighborhood. Those who know say that the shovel must be greased with goat's fat, and not a word must be spoken during the operation of digging. Tap, linit.trzis AratoGly.:—The editors of the Herald, through tneir classic oracle, have written an apology for the publication of their shameless "Romance of villainy," (Vinous, as they call it.) The apology be ing only a few lines shorter than the origi nal offensive article, we feel inclined to ac cept it in behalf of the community, provid ed,however, that they show a disposition to behave themselves well in the future. We can certainly , flatter ourselves upon the happy change which has been brought about by our open and unsparing denunci ation of the prostitution of a reputed family newspaper to such base purposes. It was confidently expected, and publicly boasted that the publication of that "great local " would make the Herald notorious, and that it would be copied quite extensively. We :u•e, however, very proud of the high tone of tile L•incaster county press, as but one paper, the inleitigencer, has reproduced the article in question. Of course one could expect nothing else. Regarding the apology us sincere, we se riously ask the indulgence of this intern t community. Let us commiserate with our brethren, exhorting them to good works, and to steadfastness in the future. We can fully appreciate the embarrassing position in which they have been placed, through this mistake of theirs; and as they are so prompt in acknowledging it, let us draw the veil of charity around this '• little onpleasantness " of theirs, and in the lan guage of inspiration exhort them to go and sin no more. A singular instance of colorphobia oc cured in Columbus, Ohio, a few days since. There was a baptism in the church, which appears to have been supplied with a full sized baptistery for immersion. Among the candidates wtt a colored mao,who was dipped first. Upon this two young ladies, who were waiting for their turn, positively and wit'• much scorn refused to be immers ed in the same water. Their objection was not to the man, but to his color, and there is 110 reason to believe that they would have declined the waters it the brother had been white. Still, we think that gallantry should have led the officiating clergyman to give the ladies the first chance. T E TEX . !" ERA. IN CI; lq OVE3I EN T. —Tit 0 tee thnony of Rev. J.

INSTALLMENT. — nev.I3.C'SIIeSSOrOtt was formerly installed as pastor of St. John's' Lutheran church of Lancaster, on last'Sun. day morning. Rev. Dr. Wedekind, ; a former pastor, delivered the charge to - the new pastor; and Rev. Luther A. Gotwald, brother of the late pastor, delivered the charge to the congregation. This is the latest for brides : A plain gold bracelet which fastens with a lock and gold key, and which the husband places on her arm ut the alter, locking it, and placing the key on his watch chain. The r bracelet "can not be removed without the husband' as sistance, and thus both are constantly re minded of each other." REMOVAL OF TILE Assessoß's OFFICE.-- Capt. J. P.

FROM LANCASTER.—" Almost I am persuaded to "—get married again,they do it so differently in these days of fashion. In our days of simplicity, ushers and here aids were unknown and unnecessary ac companiments to the solemnities of wed ding ceremonies; but the world moves and makers of etiquette twist a new kink in it hero and there, sometimes wise, sometimes otherwise. Last night our citizens saw the old time way of " marryin' " revolution ised ; the bridesmaids and groomsmen,who preceded the now soldered couple into the well-crowded church, were themselves an nounced by half a dozen genteel looking ushers (bearing painful evidences of Le liar's masterstroke) ; each wore a neat lit tle white ribbon on his coat collar, the in signia of his importance. The entree of the procession was at once grand and imposing, and relieved the audience greatly, no one present having drawn a full breath for fif teen minutes previous. The several oaths of allegiance were soon taken, the choir sang their responsive amen, the bridal party withdrew to the residence of the bride's father, and her sympathizing friends of the genus young ladies poured in their benedictions and earnest congratulations. wishing that they themselves might be "tar red with the same stick," as the phrase was when I was a boy.—Lancaster girls have had the honor of dancing with H.

His astounded hearers immediately hid their diminished heads, while their orator ordered them to be "set up" fn time to prevent his own tainting. SQUIB, YORK COUNTY ITEMS.—Prom the Trice Democrat—Zion Lutheran Church, Rev. M. Lilly, pastor, has boon remodelled and re paired. An interesting revival is going on in the colored church. Mr. Jacob Wirt, of Hanover, had his life insured in the Mutual Lilo Insurance Co., of N. Y., for $lO,OOO. He died a few days ago, when the company paid his ad minis • trators $11,275.70. Dr. Sohn C. Allen lectured on " Gush" on Wednesday evening. Rev. J. H. Menges was surprised and completely surrounded in his study on Tuesday of last week, by a host of ladies and gentlemen. Ho quietly surrendered. The result was lie received three wagon loads of presents. The next day Mr. Menges turned the tables and invited his triends to partake generously of his hospitality. The frieuds and teachers of the Sabbath schools in Hopewell township, propose holding a convention and institute in Stew arts town, on Friday, February 11th, IS7O. Surprise parties are all the rage in York, Jo loss than five having been held there tiring the last ten days. ' The Presbyterians of York corAernplate the erection of a college. ROILREP-STOAVN ITEMS.—During the past week our place has been extremely dull. in fact so much so that it is quite difficult that matter enouglrefin be gleaned to ful fill what we consider our duty. One thing is thought of seriously by our people—the organization of a Literary Society. We are certain that our town can boast of talent enough to carry one on successfully, and all that is necessary is for the proper per sons to take the matter in hand, and suc cess will attend their efforts. Last week Mr. M. Burkhart received front a friend in Lancaste4 a large Prairie wolf; the animal is so tame that persons can enter and return from his kennel witi‘- out the least danger of being hurt. On last Tuesday Mr. Adam Deitrieb slaughtered the largest porker of the sea son ; the weight of the aniatat dressed was 5G5 pounds. 'We would like to know who can beat it. Some of the tobacco buyers of Lancaster and elsewhere have made their appearance in our town ; no sales have yet been made of any of the tine tots owned by many of our citizens. OtTers are not vet high enough to be accepted. G.tsrEn. " SIEOO FLY."—Every where we go, our ears are greeted with " shoo fly, don't bud der ane." It is almost yelled by the butch er boy as he goes on his morning round ; the painter boy introduces it as an interl ado as he thrusts his brush into the paint bucket; the boy eager to shoot "the marble from the ring" hesitates a moment to warn the bothering insect to keep elf; and the gentle maiden expresses her joy at the approach oilier nearest and dearest by this most ex pressive exclamation. As this" Shoo Fly" must have many lovers, we subjoin the original poem as written by Mr. Barry Me ta:tally in 18G5: I feel, I feel, I feel I shall go wild. I feel, I feel, I feel like a crazy boy ; I feel. I feel happy as a child, I feel, I feel my heart so full of joy. CSIOILVS.—SO shoo fly, don' t notitler me, My gal's come bock, so I've been tole, S1;00 - fly, don't Dodder me, But give to mo toy domplin wholo A. Fox liuti'r.—An amusing " fox chase" came °frac the Gap, this county, on Satur day week. A fox had been caught and was to be let loose on that day for a hunt, and a large crowd had assembled to take part in tho sport. Some evil disposed person had visited the room where the fox was con fined, and removed the animal, substituting in its place a large red cat. The cat was taken out, let go, and after having the us ual time for a start, the bounds and ttunters entered upon the chase, expecting to have some line sport: After u run of about a mile through the woods the animal ran up a large chestnut tree and safely ensconced itself in the top, whereupon the hunters discovered that they had been badly sold, and that the supposed fox was only a house cat. HOW IT is DONE.—Tlie Veneta Editorial trio have a little mutual admiration society which operates thus : Whenever the local editor, town clerk dm, • makes what. he supposes, a point, be either calls at this office a few hours afterwards to know if we have seen it,nnd how we like it; or, Ulm can't do that, he sends his boss the tariff man, to intercept us at the Frank lin House, with the Intelligence that we'll " catch particular '—' this week." The wrath of the trio at our well timed denun ciation of their obscene sheet is joyous—'o us. No better evidence wanted of the ex emplification of that quaint saying about hitting the nail on the head. At the late woman's rights gathering at Washington the Hon. James M. Seovel spoke for the cause in behalf of Jersey, and on asking " What does woman want ?" he answered, "She wants work, she wants bread, she wants clothes." But the learn ed Jerseyman forgot her greatest want in forgetting that she wants the latest fashions• MAsesto HALL.--In looking over the pamphlet laws, we find an net approved April, 1806 to incorporate the "Masonic Hail Association of Columbia." The gentlemen named as corporators are C. S. Kauffman, William Patton, Hiram Wilson,: A. J. Kauffman, William P. Lockard, M. M. Strickler, P. Hinkle, A. M. Rambo, H. M. North, George Young, jr., A. S. Geeen, Philip Shreiner and B. A. Price. As will .be observed, several years have elapsed since the incorporation of this as sociation. During that time °Worts have been made to ascertain the amount of funds or stock, which could be secured for the . new Hall. We understand that a pretty large number of shares have beerr,taken, and this too without Much solicitation. All that is needed to ;insure success is a little more effort. Columbia, with her growing population increasing wealth, needs greater public ac• commodations; and as the order, under whose auspices, this act of incorporation was procured, needs a larger lodge room, let the:two interests and wants be combined and a suitable building bo erected in every respect worthy of the order, and a source of pride to the town. Located in the central or business portions of the Borough, it can be so designed as to be both a profitable in vestment, as well as an ornament. We respectfully suggest that the persons entrusted with this matter take such steps as will insure the erection of a Masonic temple at an early day. T he Ground Rog's Prophecy. Tho ground hog never saw his shadow plainer than hemust have done on last Wed nesday and so according to the declarations of ye oldest inhabitants we are bid to look out ".for six weeks more of winter." If this is to be interpreted as meaning that we are to have six weeks more of such winter as we have been enjoying, it 'is not such a very savage augury after all. Possibly, however as this is such an exceptional win ter, the ground hog's prophecy, like the dreams of" [tory O'Nfoore," will "go by contraries," and we are to have a month or so of real winter after all. Nevertheless, we do not advise any absolute dependence on this ;theory either, for we take it that any ground hog that hasn't seen his shadow often enough this rimer to get overall fear of it before February 2nd, must, have been a great fool to hibernate through a spring .January. Such a ground bog de serves to be ground indeed—into sausage meat. Tin: great Binklcy Bri age Case, in whch the Commissioners brought suit against the New Holland Turnpike Company, to re cover ono third of the cost of the construc tion of bridge over the Conestoga terminat eJ, so far as the arbitration was concerned, on Saturday last. The award' of the arbi trators will be found in another column. The attempt on the part of the Turnpike company,cal the evidence having been hearil, to cheat the county out of thousands of dol lars has been resisted by the Commission ers, and the tax payers of the county have reason to feel grateful to them for this pro tection to their interests. Corporations have immunities enough besides the re sources arising from the evasion of their just obligations. A GOOD story is told of a Tioga county merchant, who agreed to take a farmer's oats at 40 cents a bushel if the latter would let him tramp the measures when filled. The farmer agreed to it. The buyer paid for sixty bushels, and next day went after them. The farmer filled the half bushel and the merchant got in and tramped them down. Whereupon the farmer poured the oats so compressed into the bug. The mer chant protested, and demanded that the measure should be tilled upjafter tramping. The farmer informed him that there was no agreement of that sort, but that he might tramp down the oats to his heart's content after they were measured. - .NlA:cum - At Loc.Aa.s.—A fair for the-Re -formed Church rill lZe held on the 22.nd.;, John S.

[Communications upon an subjects of local or general interest invited. Correspondents must state briefly and concisely- what they have to say.] CotaignuL, inn. 39tH, 1870 EDITOR SPY few remarks made by a gentleman who lectured in our midst a few weeks since, upon the subject of Temper ance has furnished "veritas" an opportuni ty of falling into error. Wl , ether Columbia is a village, borough, or city, it matters not ; or whether a gentleman who has visi ted thousands of cities, towns and villages during the past six years happens in the course of a lecture to call Columbia by ail of those names it matters not. Such a usd Of"SVOIli8 is -pardonable. To judge a man by such a test reflects no honor upon the judge. The lecturer stated what had been told him about the prevalence of di unkenness among our boys and men on Sunday. That very many of the men and youths of our Borough do spend Sundays in visiting beer saloons and drinking until they are intoxicated, is a fact of which I have been cognizant on more than one occasion. Young men have declared to me upon their own knowledge that as much liquor and beer, if not more, are sold at various saloons in our midst on Sunday than are disposed of on any other day in the week. But two weeks since a man of family laughingly declared in my presence that he and two other married men had been drinking the day before (Sunday) at a beer saloon, iu the southern part of the borough, and that all three became intoxi cated. Drunken men have been seen time and again reeling along our streets. "Ve rites" may not have seen them, but others have ; and I am sorry to say they belonged to Columbia. This should not be, and eve ry one who feels a genuine interest in the Welfare of his neighbor regrets deeply that it is so, and tries to devise some plan to bring - about a change. How shall 'it he done ? - Weave told that " the common sen timent of the people against habitual tip plers or the occasional dram drinker, and ' the wholesome action of our religious organ izations will do more to complete temper ance redemption than volumes of wholesale denunciation or misstataments." Denunci ation and misstatements have accomplish ed no eood, and I ask in all seriousness where are we to look for the great progress made in completing " temperance redemp tion" by " the common sentiment of the people and the wholesome action of our re ligious organizations ?" "By their fruits ye shall know them.. " Canvass our Bo rough from one end to the other and you will fail to secure one hundred men who will unite their efforts to diminish the use of intoxicating liquors. Let our ministers when their prayer meetings have the fullest attendance present to the members of their several charges a pledge to abstain from the use of liquors themsoves, and to urge others to do likewise and nine tenths will ask to be excused. The moral sentiment of the comma niy will soon loose its spirituality if vigorous and persistent efforts are not made to help the rising generations in moulding true manly and christian charac ters. Selfishness is too prevalent; and the sooner woall free ourselves from its dwarf ing and degrading power the happier will we be, and tcn fold more happy will they he who come within the sphere of our influ ence. A . CLIIQUESAI t UNGA Feb. 2, IS7O EmTon Stn. - :—As I have not seen any locals In your paper from this end of West Ilempfield for some time, and as it is not generally known that we had Capt. E. Mc- Millen, the bridge builder, hero to repair the bridge across the big Chiques creek, at Barr's mill, (and I assure you it is a great convenience) which was greatly needed since the freshet last October, I will send you a few notes by the way. In Justice to Elias McMillen, and all per sons interested, I will briefly state a few facts about the repairing of this bridge at Barr's mill. The letting. of repairing an . receiviiig - of proposals I‘.r. this bridge, *ere ' duly announced and 'advertised by the County Commissioners, and the number of proposals received were four, viz: Jacob Kauffman, s6is; Peter Uelinan ,S 600; Chas., Schaffer, WC; Elias McMillen, $375 ; end, as it was announced that the lowest bidder should have it, Elias McMillen got the con tract. It is now finished in a good work man-like manner. During the time Mr. McMillen was working I took occasion to visit the bridge quite frequently, and, ac cording to my observations, my conclusion was that he is p' rfectly master of his trade, that he is perfectly acquainted with the science and theory of bridge building, and with the practice he has had, he is ono of the best bridge builders in the State. Ile had with himovhen he repaired this bridge, a gang of nine men (apparently perfect gentlemen) who understood and executed the orders so promptly and willingly, re mmding me as if they were wader strict military discipline. And Mr. McMillen himself, always tools in hand, and ready to use them whenever Kequired. This is _the secret of his success, by his • understand ing his trade, having control of his 11101/, working hard himself. I ant satisfied that be does more work with those nine men than msny others would do with twice the number. Give all men their dues. 11 akin. Borron Syr : It is greatly to be regretted that so minty of our citizens willfully vio late the ordinances of the Borough. Is is possible now to walk through any street. o r alley without seeing ash heaps and deposits or various kinds or rubbish. All these have accumulated since the opening of the year, Those who have made these deposits know that they have violated a law which if en forced will impose upon them to heavy ti ie. They dta not venture to throw their ashes, old baskets, &e.., into the streets and alleys last year because they knew they would be made to pay for it. Why do they do it now? Are they sure they can do just us they please under the democratic administration of our borough firs?ad Perhaps sonic one who knows hits sent around the word that the Supervisor is engaged to remove all their rubbish at the expense of the borough. The, Council had better see to it that the Su pervisor is not obliged to spend half his time in removing from our streets those things which the vigilance of the Chief Bur gess should restrain the citizens from plac ing there.

Intpreoted f Our first idea is to learn exactly WIT AT THE CUSTOMERS WANT, and Instead of persuading him to buy what may be most conveniently at I hand, we take the utmost pains to meet 11119 wishes.

A light store is far better for customers than a dark one. 140 rifidowl jan29-70 Merchants know that our sales are larger than those of any other hvuse in Philaaelphia, in our line: hence we have to buy larger quantities of goods, and so get them at lower prices, e.- r t ec y i l aZ cariewaepebsut,y we to 6 gethe aa s r el f l or e la ea sid p: el Th .Large Ih4 - chnaes.

Grcal .Baring We have GOO hands employed In the manufacture of Clothing, who are constantly making up stack to take the place of that daily sold; this gives our customers new and fresh goods to make selections from. Prcsh Good. It is on undisputed fact th:.t. this Department, (a large Hall on our second Hoer fronting on Minor street,) has nothing in Philadelphia, to equal it. We hare hero concentrated the best skill and workmanship, and those who prefer Clothing made to order really have advantages they do not re- ceive elsewhere. DEDUCTIONS. Ceotorn Depa C ilea. From all of this above we deduce this ono fact, that Oak Hall has ALL the advantages of any other Clothing Ea tablishments in the city, and in addi tion these, Leduc tioru. st—A firm composed of young men of the present generation, fully in sympathy with the tastes •.f the day. 2d.—An insight to the wants of the people and an en terprise to inset these wants, which in seven years has placed Oak Hall in a position not al ways attained in experience of twenty-tire scars. 3d.—A Building better located, better lighted, better adapted and newer in all its appointments. .ith.—Workmen, especially Cutters, who are not only from among the best and most experi enced, but are artists in their professions and couple with good work a stylishness, in which Philadelphia tailoring has been particularly deficient. It is the liberal patronage with which we have been favored that has enabled us to offer the un paralleled advantages, and this patronage continued and extended will Multiply advantages, which we divide between our customers and ourselves.
