Superintendent Grimes took paln3 to se cure the services of first class lecturers for tho county Institute. It Is expected that tho citizens of tho place where the Institute Is held will patronize these lectures and thus assist in paying the expenses of the Institute.

To-night (Thursday) and to; morrow night, (Friday) yet remain of tho course, and our people can still redeem themselves. Helen Potter nnd Prof. Lit tle will respectively occupy the stage, and each is worthy of a largo audience. Unless tho lectures receive better encouragement It is probable that tho Institute will not hu held here again for somo time, or cheaper lecturers will havo to be engaged. hir-OItTANT TO STOIIEKEEPKUS.

The neglect to ..comply with the new regulation makes the offender, whether manufacturer or seller, liable to a fine of $500 or Imprisonment for six months, or botli nt tho discretion of the Court.

Not Correct. A special dispatch to thu Philadelphia papers, dated at Cntawlssa, December 29th, says s A large sleighing paity stopped nt the country tavern of Philip lirengler.Jtwenty lour miles from here, last night, and insti tuted a dance. By midnight thu party were drunk and quarrelsome. In an alter cation between Elwood Strausser and Matt. Cope the latter stabbed Strausser, inflicting fatal wounds. This wustlieslgnal for n general row. Knives and pistols were freely drawn and used. The women lied from the room, the lights were extinguished and for fif teen minutes tlio barroom was a regular pandemonium of noise. When nt last the proprietor cleared the room, hu found Strausser lying "in the floor ultnost dead from loss of blood. 3Iury Amos, an clghtecn-ycar-old gill, who wns unable to escape from the room was shot tlirough the leg. Benson Irwin received a gunshot wound in the thigh. Henry Sny. der received three fatal knife stabs. Four others were slightly wounded iu the skir mish. This morning the police officers were no tified, and Cope, together with four other farmers named respectively Henry Swoyer, Oscar Shultz and Isaac Hose wero arrested and bound over to await the result of the injuries inflicted. Cope says that Strauss er had twice insulted his sister, who was with the party, and says that any man would have killed him for saying what ho did. Strausser, who is now lying in the back room of tho tavern, says ho did hot insult Cope's sister, and says that Cope is a bad character. Investigation proved Cope to bo one of the worst men in the county. Tho affray has created the most intense excitement throughout the farming country, nnd threats of lynching Cope arc freely utter ed. Cope nnd his associates wero convey ed to Bloomsburg this morning. Tho above dispatch, in connection with n number of others that have been sent lately from points near here, helps to glvo out tho impression that Columbia county is becoming n lawless and dangerous por tion of tho State to live In, whereas we are under thu Impression that our peoplo aro a peaceable und lnw abiding class. If, us tho dispatch says, this nllalr occurred 21 miles from Cntawlssa, It was beyond our county limits, while the statement that thu offenders were brought to Bloomsburg Jail Is an item of news to Sheriff Mouroy This crime wns committed in some other county if anywhere, und Columbia does not want to bu credited with it. Another dispatch in the same papers, dated at Bloomsburg, gives the following account of n robbery und shooting : wnuo Adam liartllnc, a pcdler, wns driving from -Mnlurlllu to Cntawlssa last night, ho was stopped by three men at a point on tho highway about six miles from .Malnvillo, who asked permission to rldo In his sleigh. liartllnc compiled with their request, and tho three took scats lu tho vehicle. Tliuy maintained strict Bllenco for nbout an huur, when reaching a point where the road ran through a thick wood, ono of tho strangers pulled out a revolver, and placing it at Hartllne's head, demand, ed ills money. They then rifled Ids pockets of $350 and a silver watch. Tho men Jumped from the sleigh and ran Into tho woods. Hartlluo drovu on towards Catawlssn, nnd when a mile from the scene of thu rob bery ho met two men, who asked to bo al lowed to rldo with him. Hartllne refused with nn oath und whipped the liorso into a gallop. One of thu tramps fired to shots trom n revolver, ono of which lodged In Hartllne's right nrm. Ho stopped at the first farm houso ho camu two for thu night, This morning officers scoured tlio conn, tiy iu scarcli of the robbers, but fulled to find a clue. There is something strange nbout this, Iu tho first place, tho dlspach uppturs In thu city dallies dated at Bloomsburg, but was not sent from here. It says that thu robbery and shooting was committed be. tween Malnvillo nnd CuUwlssu about six miles from thu former plaeo, while we aru liiforiucd.lt Is only five miles between tho two points, Nobofcy seems to know Adam Hartllne, and tho peoplo of Cntawlssa have not heard of any bucIi an occurrence as Is reported. After careful Inquiry, followed by fulluro to ascertain anything of thu nf. fair, wo aro forced to tho conclusion that somebody Is Imposing on tho Associated Press, and niUrepresontlng tliN county by sending seusutlonal telegrams not founded i on facts. The Comet VlHllile. The comet of 1812, which Is ngnln on n visit to this solar nystcm, can ho seen with tho linked eye on n clear, dnrk night lu tlio northwest. It is necessary, however, to look Intently nt the heavens for some time beforo tho celestial wnndcrcr will show It self, ns the comet Is only Just becoming discernible without n .glass, though with tho atd of a telescope It tins been visible for moro than three months. Tho comet, which Is also known ns tho Pons Brooks oomet, was discovered In 1812 by Professor Pons, the French astronomer, nnd wns re discovered on September 3rd last by Pro. fessor Brooks, of the Red Houso Observa tory, at Phelps, lu New York State. It Is thus demonstrated that It Is nrcgulnrmcm- ber of tho solar system and returns nt per iods of about seventy years. It will bo brightest on January 23, 1881, when It will bo nearest tho sun, though at a dlstanco of 73,000,030 miles.
