The Home of Columbia. BY MRS. S. 3. P. The home of Columbia is built on a rock, Which no force with success can assail ; Unmoved it will stand .against war's rudest . ' , . . 4, . , ,,i i .i As firm as the mountain that boldly doth mock The brcefce that sweeps over the vale. , , , The home of Columbia was bulit by the brave, Who cemented their work with their blood; Those who trust to her care she surely will save, And beat off the tempest and treacherous wave, As the Ark beat the waves of the flood. The halls of Columbia were finished w:lh skill Sy the patriot hands of our sires, Whose eloquent voices are eloquent still; Whose memory stirs each true heurt wilh a thrill, That the noblest ambition inspires. The vales of Columbia arc ample and wide, And most bountiful harvest they yield, 'Like rose-leaves, loosed by the zephyr's sigh, There, millions on millions in plenty abide;, Like that zephyr walfing its perfume by And come millions more they will not be Like the wave that kisses some graceful denied ; j spot, For each there's a cottage and field. jThen passes away yet it is ne'er forgot. Th W of Columbia are caual and just ; If like these your life hopes have fled ; Alike to the rich and the poor; The lowliest subject that crawls in the dust, ' Can rise if he will to high honor and trust, Which the noblest of earth might allure. The arm of Columbia is ready to smite All who dare her domains to despoil, The heads of rebellion, of malice and spite; The foes of her union, her laws and her right And banish them hence from her soil. The flag of Columbia floats proudly to-day Despite treason's treacherous breath, And so it will float o'er our country for awe; And in the soft breeze will sportively play ! When treason is buried in death. -! Then hail, fair Columbia, the hope of the world Of poets and heroes the theme, .May thy banner o'er freeman be ever un furled, Thy darts 'gainst rebellion and tyranny hurled, Till union o'er earih reigns supreme. Smithfield. Jan. 1S6G. The Poet Dabbler. Poor poet dabbler, save your ink And learn at least and first to think, Nor vainly hope the m uses' aid To have their breathings thus portrayed. You have not helped yourself, and they Will never meet you but halfway. It is a shame to shock the senpe With such disjointed worm-rail fence, When poesy as smooth should flow Asirlides the wind o'er crusted snow; And with a measured pace as true As beats that throbbing heart in you. If rout mu st write do got a friend To criticise and to amend Before you rush yourself in print To caich from me a pointed hint. Besides there yet may be a time You'll be ashamed of such weak rhyme ; And, if that time should never come, 'Twould still be best if you keep mum. You 6ee the poets are around, Andlhey can't stand a jarring sound ; Long as these sounds you still create Expect a pen lash o'er your pate. Sntireme Court at Wilkes-Barre.

It is not legal, in any case to keep school open on Saturdays. Scholars, whose parents have a legal resi dence in one district, cannot legally attend the schools of another district, merely by go- ing in that district to work for their board, . with the intention of attending school, and ' returning to the residence of their parents , when the school has closed. !

I have not bad the usual fee which binds a man that is a lawyer, which sometimes means the same thing to contend against that very justice which he assumes to be searching after, so I shall be at liberty to speak for or against plaintiff or defendant, witness or lawyer, as I see proper. By what I have said you may see my Lec ture is at the bar known as the bar of justice. By refering to the origin of the word, bar, you will find it was applied to the courts Irore it was applied to the bar of bottles. As there is usually considera ble of wrangle at a country Court bar I suppose Bachus thought it would be a most applicable name for his headquar ters, and I rather think he exercised wia dom, for once, in this respect. Perhaps also he considered the opening of his bar as an auxiliary leading in the most direct route to the other. If he meant this I secoud his judgment again, for bar-tenders and saloon keepers are always well represented at Courts, either as defend ents'or witnesses. I think when Bachus made the dedi cation be should have put it the "bar of danger" so we might have a distiction between it and the bar of Justice . . ... 1 .... T But JL SUppUSU I1C illCUUl LUilb 1113 LHt UUT should have precedence over every other bar, as it is used without a prefix. A Court of justice should be a place held not one whit less sacred than a church, or a place of the most solemn worship. It should be the aim of all to reach a judgment which the God above would ratify. But is this the case ? Is it not plain that witnesses too often give T 1. (. !,. !,: 1 1 j 7. 7.

But bis oath should not urge him to go one step further. I suppose it will be a good while yet before men practice that little rule, "do as you would be done by," and so we must have courts until that time comes. If one half of the world acted on this principle the other half would have no body to fight with and there would be no fighting.

The shrewdness of the thief, which seems to cling so readily to the time of the commission of crime, appears to de sert him almost entirely when the cir cumstances of his misdeeds are to be con cealed. This apparent inconsistency may appear cither inconsistent or curious, but it is nevertheless true ; and it has enga ged the pen of the novelist as well as that of the recorder of daily events. On Saturday evening last, the little town .of Stamford, Conn, was mystified by fbf nntipirnncii nh f )if lintfl nf 3 mnn wlin "1TV"'"" ; ' - came in one by one, and offended the taste of the entire village community by strict- Iy minding their own busiuess. lney had evidently never seen each other be- n 1. 1 i ml. ' lore, and naa very uttie to say. xne hearty farmer or drover came into the bar room of the hotel and remarked that the weather was extremely cold. This was true, but the three strangers merely nod ded their heads and were uot to be drawn into conversation. Other gossips also dropped in, but they were not more suc- cesstui than tneir neigiiDors. xne sil ence of the strangers was something re markable. The way they shunned each other's company was also remarkable 'at least it would have been remarkable to shrewder observers than village gossips. Neverthless, the country was alive with the news of a great robbery, and it was nt n . . " 1 i. J..1I sale to ue a stranger even auout u uun country village as suspicion is a strange irrespectcr of persons. For once in their lives the dull villa gers begau to grow sharp. The experi ence of this novelty caused general self satisfaction. They eyed the strangers very minutely, studied the physiognomies balanced their actions, and drew wild conclusions from their least motion. Still, the fact that they did not speak to each other was a convincing proof that tliey did not know each other. convinc ing proof to the simple Stamfordians, you know ; and there, of course, it was so' much more mystical. One of them expressed a desire to hire a hack, for the purpose of proceeding to Norwalk. He did not wish to be accom panied by a driver, for he was going to take some ladies with him and there would not be room. Here the villagers scented a mouse. The gentleman offered liberal terms for the carriage, but he not wanting a driver was suspicious. A carnage was therefore not to be had. Marvelous to appear, this circumstance was the occasion of the three strangers wise, for they were probably the thieves, whose deeds of bold and ambiiious crim inality were still ringing through the country. They had been strangers to each other through policy but mutual ainsiety made' them dlose friends ; they had been shrewd, wide-awake rogues, for safety's sake ; but conscious crime sud denly transformed them into trembling, apprehensive villains. Failing to procure a carriage, the three strangers remained at Stamford all night. The "all night" at Stamford was fatal. All the town were awake, and they all began to whisper of the Express robbery, and to look at the throe strangers in a manner more suggestive of penitentiaries than of wine breakfasts. In the morning they went to Norwalk, where they were also' remarked. Their first movement was to procure a convoy- , , . V f 1 I- anno and nroceed to a nouseoi u auueujun.- night, and returned to the village on the next morning. At th'e' same time, the pious shomaker wa observed to proceed by train to New York, with a clumsy bundle in his pos session. By this time the detectives were awake, and the son of Crispin was taken in hand. His bundle was heavy with gold plunder. The two accomplices were arrested soon afterward. "We understand that the strangers who first excited remark and were subsequently arrestedy gave their names as Walcoott and Clarke, while the shqemakeris known as Tristram. The3c "gentlemen" arc Un derstood to be at present in safe-keeping, and the Express Company are quite con fident that the rest of the ' accomplices will be soon secured, and that nearly all of the missing funds will be recovered. The amount taken included about 50, 000 in gold, and 850,000 in fractional currency, but was something less in total than $700,000. The package of bonds of 880,000 was no doubt left in the car by accident. The thieves took away all their tools except the lanterns, and not only broke into the iron car from a sido door, but broke open three iron safes, each of them padlocked as well as fasten ed with the common locks. They under stood their work and performed it tho roughly. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Mr. Henry Sanford one of the super intendents of Admas Express Company, accompained by Officer Rogers of the E leventh Precinct, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning called at the residence of Police Justice Edward J. Shandley, No. 1G7 Henry st., and arousing him from his slumbers, informed him that he had cer tain information that a large portion of the stolen money was in the house No. 100 Division-st., in possession of one John B. Earmore, and that they wished to procure a search-warrant to enable them to search the house, and recover the money. The Magistrate offered to accompany them in his official position, and authoriz ed them to search the house, but to this Mr. Sanford objected, as he was afraid it might not be legal. Willing to satisfy his scruples, the Magistrate then accom pained them to the court-room in Essex st., filled up a search-warrant, and accom panied the party to the house mentioned. Here, after a short search, they succeed ed in finding the object sought for. In an upper room, carefully hidden, they found 877,650 in unsigned national bank note bills, 85,457 in national bank note bills, $3,000 in U. S. 7 3-10 bonds, gold coin of the value of $375, and $280 in gold bills, altogether of the value of 88G, 72. Barmore was arrested, and yester day committed for examination by Jus tice Shandley. He is a father-in-law of Augustus Tristram, one of the principals concerned in the robbery, and who was arrested on Tuesday in Norwalk. In the affidavit made by Mr. Sanford before Justice Shandley, he states that the amount stolen by the thieves on the night of the 6th inst. was as follows : National bank notes and Treasury notes, 8150,000; United States bonds and certificates of indebtedness, 850,000 ; gold coin, 840, 000 ; gold watches and other articles of jewelry to the amount of 85,000 total stolen, 8245,000. In addition to the a bove amount, the thieves left behind them S180,000. It is stated that immediately after the robbery, 7'G us" Tristram went to Nor walk, Conn., and there engaged a cousin, also named Tristram, to bring on the mo ney recovered, and leave it in the hands of those in whose possession it was found. On the return of the messenger to JNor walk, he was arrested, and confessed the whole matter. Thomas Clarke, another of the principals, was arrested at Nor walk. The entire detective force of this city, together with those in the employ of the Company, are at present cugaged in work ing up the matter, within the next few days the entire matter will probably be cleared up. Tribune. The Boston Journal relates of a Portu guese soldier, recently returned from the war, that when he wcut into service, he could not understand even the military orders in Euglish, but made a good sol dier. Coming to this city, he got into debt for his board with one of his own countrymen, and said that when he en listed, he received $500 in boun ty, which he bid in a crevice of his bar racks on" going to war. His landlord and others took him about to the several mil itary camps in the hope that a recollec tion of the place would enable him to' re cover the secreted money; and it was not until a friend had provided him with means of going to New Bedford to ship, and his missing the way and return, and that chance led him to New Hampshire, where it proved that he enlisted, and, on going to the barracks at Concord, he fouud his five hundred dollars which had remained safe for two and-a-half years. The Louisville correspondent of tho Cincinnati Gazette nas just seen a Ken tucky .farmer in the cars who had not heard of Mr. Lincoln's death or of the emancipation of the slaves.

GRANT ON THE SITUATION. He does n'o't recommend the Withdraws! of United States Troops from Lately Re bellions States Arming the MilitiS". Washington, Jan. 14, 1866. It may be stated, with reference to the recent dispatch to The Mobile advert" tiser touching the withdrawal of troops from Alabama and Georgia, that, in act ing upon the application of Gov. Parso'ifo' to withdraw them from the former State and to arm the local militia, Lieut.-Geif; Grant has inadejjthe following reply : "For the present, and until there 13 full security for equitably maintaining the rights and safety of all classes of cit izens in the States lately in rebellion, I would not recommond the withdrawal of the United States troops from them. T The number of interior garisons might bef reduced ; but a movable force, sufficient to insure tranquility, should be retained. While such a force is retained in" the South, I doubt the propriety of putting" arms in the hands of the militia." The Oil Bubble. The Titusville correspondent of the Erie Dispatch, having made the oil in- terests his business for a long time, comes now to the concision that the day of ex citement and high prices for territory,' has passed, and the bubble about to burst. He says Pithole 13 a sick child. Trade in all of the oil region is falling off. While tradesmen have been increasing, buyers have decreased. He gives an instance of one house, the receipts of which for merly were from $800 to 81,400, per day, now only range from $J)0 to 100. So long as capitalists came and spent their money freely, times were easy. There is' at present a holding back ; and while mo ney is easy in the Eastern market, it is tight in the oil region. The oil business' mU3t come down to a legitimate one, and' wild speculations must cease. The times of December 9th gave what; purported to be the proceedings of a meet ing of the stockholders of the Lewisburg, Centre and Spruce Creek Railroad, one of the connecting links by which the Atlan tic & Great "Western Railway will reach the seaboard upon its independent line. That statement contained so many glaring errors that it is difficult to see how th o paper from which we made up the report could have invented so many. The par agraph read as follows : "A late meeting was held at Bellefonte;' of tho directors of the Lewisburg Centre' and Spruce Creek Railroad, one of the connecting links by which the Atlantio & Great Western Road is to reach the? seaboard upon its independent line. Hon. G. R. Barrett, of CIcarfxeldywas elec ted President of the corporation; Sir Mor ton Peto, of England, Alec President; and T. W. Kennard, Engineer'. J udge Barrett then, as Attorney of the Atlantic & Great Western Railroad Company, sub scribed one million of dollars towards the completion of this road, and gave notice that he would take the balance of what everstockwas not subscribed by the people along the line." The meeting was held on the loth ult. at Aaronaburg, Centre county. George F. Miller, Member of Congress from the 14th District, was elected President, and James P. Coburnr Secretary. Judge G. Church of Meadville, in behaf of T. W. Kenuarn, subscribed two millions of dol lars of stock. Thirteen directors were elected, including G. Church, and R. M. N. Taylor of Meadville. A meeting of these Directors was held Meadville on Tuesday last. Filling7 Ice-Houses with Scow. As the time is now approaching sayai the Country Gentleman, when the supply of ice for the ensuing year is to be se cured, I beg leave to give you the expe rience of one of our "Clinton Farmer's Club" of Clinton Ohio. His ice-house is situated on the side of a gravel hill, cov ering a pit about four or five feet in height ; the sides of the pit are boarded up, nd the drainage is through the grav el. Finding it expensive to haul from the neighboring ponds and rivers, he last winter filled his house with snow, after trVe custom prevailing in Switzei-!and andf California (for my friend is a traveler,) simply rolling up in masses, and with a wheel barrow conveying it to the house first lining the sides of the pit with straw and after it was filled covering the snoyf with the same material, thus filling his house without cost, and securing an abun dant supply of good ice for his large fam ily duirug the whole summer. The snow settled down into a compact mass, when the spring and summer heats affected it, and a portion still remains at the bottom of the pit, as solid as a glacier of the Alps. The legislature of Alabama, now in ses sion took no notice of Gen. Thomas, Gen. i Woods and Gen Swayne, all Union officers,' ' tV'liiln tlioir wnrn nraconltil thocpnt nPrrM'nrn ment ; but the moment Wade Hompton,- a a Rebel General, appeared there, a commit tee was appointed to conduct him to the leg islative hall, and yet we are asked to believe that this legislature is loyal, and the State ready for re-admission into the Union.
