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. Up to this time the attendance
of town people has been small, altogether
too small. 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.

all articles manufactured by thu employ

tho words "Convict Made," with, tho year
and place when aud where 'made, Is now
in force. Parties Interested in the compe
tition of prison labor aru sending out cir
culars embodying .tlio law and its penal
ties In full. 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. The Inw Is very stringent, and in
nocent dealers, having such goods in pos
session, not properly marked, might be
very easily caught for tho penalty.

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
