Oue person, Mr. Eshleman, was in jured, by jumping from the engine house, dislocating his ankle. The Furnace is ~wned by Messrs. Kauffman, Shaeffer & Co., whose loss is about $3OOO, on which there is an insurance of $2500. Mr. Kauffman informs us that the Furnace will be in oper ation in a few weeks. CHEMICAL DIORAMAS.—Mr. R. Winters is exhibiting a mnnbe.r of chemical dioramas and chromatrope views every evening in the Odd Fellows' Hall. We think this exhibi tion one of the best ever offered to Colum bianc It is quiet, sensible and of a charm:- ter that all can enjoy. We trust our citizens will turn out and if they are not gratified we will return their money. Seriously and truly every one should see these views, as they are superior, and will prove not wanting in anything. The single %leer of Babylon, in its glory and its fall, a lien the handwriting stood out on the wall, .itol the guests appalled at the mysterious demonstration, drew back in consternation —is enough to compensate the looker-on for the amount ,lentanded for admittance. Our citizens trill please notice that this exhibi tion is not clap-trap, it is for the family, and we gitc it our entire and unqualified appro bation. As frosty weather opens the chesnut is. a nd r ipens persimmons and buckwheat, s,i the :Tyro:telling season brings out the political crop in full force and enthusiasm. Our hitherto peaceful and quiet borough is therefore one round of excitement and tur moil, with the rampant ardor of the various demonstrations, to "save the country." Meetings of some kind, every night or two, seem to he the order of the day, while mu sic (?) aye' mu , ie itself has become a drug in the market, from the continual din and tooting about our streets. The events of the week may be briefly summed up thus: Pot t: it li , l 1;. ----On Tuesday last the fluehanati nwit raised a very handsome and long pole at the curlier of Locust and Third streets. After the "getting up," they held a meeting in the Odd Fellows' Hall, which was addresses] by R. Haldeman, Esq., and Mr. la.mimrton, of Harrisburg, and Capt. Sanderson :Lod Mr. Myers, of Lancaster. The meeting was well attended and the speeches — . Wednesday evening the "nnterrified," turned out to attend a meeting in the neigh boring borough of Washington—coming home so very late. too, that 013 of our par ticular friends, we are sorry t say, who has heretofore been remarkable for his sobriety, has been accused of tying one of the horses to the ring of the bridle bit instead of to that in the hitching post. in consequence of which natmwl nrivtaT the hors and wagon were diseoNered uninjured, some time next day, in the neighborhood of Mt. Pleasant. UN 31 Elm NC.—lii plln•tlance of the call, the first Union demon,tration held in the market hon,e last night. The attend ance was large and respectable, to hear ex cellent addresses by a gentleman from Mas sachusetts, Dr. C. M. Johnson, and J. W. Fisher, —This afternoon Ilelczati.ns will leave town to attend meetings in Marietta, M o unt Ile:v.:tut, Mount Joy. and Safe Harbor. EV.TT: %ORDINARY SHOOTINU.—Among the best shots of our town ( and we have many Nery --uperior) arc -Joseph I the worthy proprietor of Black's Hotel, and Peter Say lor. A , evidence thereof, we would state that on Wwlne--day last they went up to what is called hog-pen lock—about six miles abo‘e this place—and the result of their la bor, was a- follows: They made 71 shots and killed 65 birds, only missing six times. The kinds of game were 53 rail, summer 'luck., 3 Engl . :all snipe and 6 reed birds.— The rail is a tery rare bird in this vicinity, an-I the number aluue stated is the highest ever :but about Columbia during a whole sea-on. The late storm probably brought them wimre they could be "let down" by our Columbia gonto.r., at little sacrifice of powler and shot. The gentlemen who per formed thi , "extraordinary feat" are ready and able to try it user at the first opportu nity and , hortest notice. i,.‘ Anmrs' Momay f.ncrrac.—The ex hibition and lecture of Prof. Armes, which dcfel red.

This old and popular establishment, under its new and gentlemanly proprietors, cannot fail to meet with increased favor. For full particulars look to - our advertising columns. ANOTHER FIRE-MORE INCENDIARISM.-A little after one o'clock, on Wednesday morn ing, the two-story brick stable of Mr. Fred erick Cooper, situated in the rear of his ho tel in West King street, was discovered to be on fire. The upper story with the con tents, consisting of a large stock of hay and oats, was principally burnt out, and the lower story injured to some entent. All the sur rounding buildings, as well as the stable itself, were covered with slate or other non combustible roofs, or the damage would have been much more serious. Mr. Cooper, we understand, is fully insured. The fire had been kindled among the hay, the incendiary having doubtless gained access by means of :t window in the second story. There seems to be a persevering determi nation on the part of some unknown villian to burn down Mr. Cooper's property. In June, 1854, a stable which stood on the same ground was fired and entirely consumed; and only three weeks ago another stable be longing to him was set on fire and burnt out, as our readers will recollect. So far, nu clue whatever to the discovery of the per petrator has been obtained.--Inland How A x ECONOMICAL INDIVIDEAL SAVED Two CENTS.—Last Friday afternoon, an eco nomical gentleman from Bucks county, at tempted to save two cents by driving his wagon through a gate on the Germantown turnpike without paying the toll. In the effort to accomplish this feat the economist ran into a slop cart and damaged it badly. Between the indignant driver of the slop cart and the savage toll gatherer, the holier was fetched up with a short turn, and he was afforded au interview with a magis trate. Tlte result of this was the following bill: Dr. Tu fine fur misdemeanor, $lO.OO " damage to slop cart, 15.00 " costs, 3.00 $28.00 Cr. By two cents toll saved, 00.02 Balance against economist, *27.98 This amount was paid and the saving genius left the office with a stupendous flea in his ear and impressed with the conviction that in attempting to save at the spite of he had let it out at the bung-hole. A 1.110,T INCH EDIIII.E-NARROW ESCAPE AT NIAGARA FA 1.1.51.-A communication was left in our counting room this morning from an unknown source. giving an accountof a thrilling incident at Niagara Falls on Sun day. It represents that at about five o'clock P. M., a number of persons were on Luna Island and among them a couple of little boys at play. One of them fell into the riv er, only thirty or forty feet above the Falls. His scream• drew the attention of others near by, among whom was a person named P. P. Jackson, who aas only fifteen fret above the Falls. He at once jumped into the water, and maintained his footing until the boy came down against him, when he seized the lad and threw him on shore. The boy began to cry and ran off, so that his name was not ascertained. It was all Jack son could do to get on shore again, the wa ter running very swift. The writer represents Jackson to be a bold, strong man, who has been noted for his daring feats around the Falls. He is in the employ: of the N. Y.

DISTINCT:ISI/ED ARRITAL.—The New York Mirror learns from a private letter written by an officer of the British army, who cov ered himself with glory at Balaclava, that General Sir William Eyre has arrived in this country, and is now making a tour through the States. It will be recollected that General Eyre led the 3d division of the English army to the gates of Sevastopol on the 18th June, 1855. He was called upon by the Commander of the troops, to give his reasons in writing for having lost so many men on that disastrous day. His answer was briefly and bmvldy this: "Sir:—l have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter: and in reply beg to state, that you ordered me to take the Cemetery, and, I took it. W. EYRE. NEW ROUTE TO CALIFOENI.I.—The great scheme of the llondurtu3 Railroad Company with a capital of $10,000,000, under a Brit ish charter, is about to be brought out under the most favorable auspices. The directors are divided between England and the United States, and some of the most influential firms give countenance to the project, and appear in the directory and as agents to procure subscriptions. The difference of distance between New York and San Francisco, as compared with the Panama route is 1,103 miles, and the difference from Liverpool to San Francisco, touching at Kingston, Jame ca, is 831 miles. It is estimated that at the present rates of speed by steam and rail, that the time between New York and San Francisco can be accomplished in thirteen days, four hours, and that steamers can be built, and with increased railway speed, the time can be reduced to eight days, sixteen hours. The accomplishment of this work will bring San Francisco within speaking distance of New York. a Douglass Gerrold, one of the fumed clique of London lima satirists, is coming to America to lecture. Gerruld commenced life as a sailor, and after six years' salt water experience became a compositor in a Lon don newspaper office. His first literary achievement was an essay on German music, which the author, aftfr the manner of Ben jamin Franklin, dropped into the lion's mouth, the editor's box where he was n printer, and two days after ho had the de light of setting up his own article, none of the editors being aware of the author's name. Jerrold next dropped another anonymous article in the box, on Fashionable Charity, which is written with all his peculiar vigor. This caused so great a stir that the editor, in his notices to his correspondents, begged the author to call upon him—in other words, he was requested to "Stand and unfold your self." He did, much to the astonishment uf the editor, who at once recognized his tal ents, took him from the case and put him to the desk. VALLEY "FORGE ENCAXIPMENT.—This milita ry encampment commenced on Friday, and broke up yesterday. The Guards, Capt.

ATTEMPTED ASS Ia,INATION.--Balti more city has been thrown into great excitement, by the attempted assassination of two well known citizens, Col. J. Mayberry Turner, and F. Woolen, Esq., on Saturday night last. The assassin is named Antoine Paul); :der, an Italian organ-grinder, who was found lurking with his son, at the ice house of Cul. T., and when arrested on a cry of "stop shier' and brought back, soddenly stabbed the Col., nearly cutting oil his left arm and inflicting a very dangerous wound in his side, then instantly stabbing Woolen, leaving a wound four or five inches deep in his chest, then turning on the officer, who ar rested him, and cutting him dreadfully on the shoulder. At last accounts hopes were entertained of the recovery of the wounded. The assassin is in jail; he has been fifteen months in this coun try.—Frederick Examiner. A FATHER KILLED nr AN INSANE Ilecmi rt.a.—The Easton ( Mich.) Republican gix es the particulars of a truly melancholy affair which recently occurred in that town.— While the family of Levi Leonard, of that place, were taking their breakfast, a daugh ter that had been considered insane, rushed into the house, the door being open, before any one could give the alarm, dealt her fath er 4 heavy blows with a sharp axe on the head, one passing clear into the brain, breaking out a large piece of the skull.— What is most strange, is, that as soon as Mr. Leonard was struck he jumped up and ran after the girl with all his might, until some of the neighbors came and caught her, when he fell down gasping. Ile was taken to the house and soon became insensible.— Ile lingered until the next morning, when he expired. He was a good man. ADVANTAGE or WEALTH.—The Newport correspondent of the Providence Journal says: "The increase in the wealth of young girls here is rapid beyond anything ever heard of in California or elsewhere. Yesterday morn ing a young lady arrived in town, and at half past nine, just after breakfast, it was current ly reported that she was worth seven hundred thousand dollars: at one o'clock this sum had increased to twelve hundred thousand, and last night at eleven o'clock it was ascertain ed that the figures were no less than two millions. Thin morning I have not heard of any further rise, but 1 may add, the lady is not neglected." EDITORIAL GLEANINGS COWHIDING ON THE OHIO RIVER.—We Un derstand that a severe case of lynching oc• curred on Wednesday last on the steamer Forest Rose, which is lying up on account of low water, just below French Island, in which Capt. Allen the commander of the boat, was the victim. It is charged that Capt. Allen had insulted or made improper proposals to the wives of the pilot and mate of the boat, whore husbands were tempor arily absent sounding the river a short dis tance below. They escaped to a neighbor ing boat, and on the husbands being inform ed of the outrage, they at once went to the Forest Rose and con-hided Capt. Allen in a terrible and unmerciful manner. We are told he was one gore of blood from head to foot. All hands, it seems participated in the indignation and quit the boat, with the exception of one man, who remained with the Captain.—Lou. Courier. sarA prize fight took place at an early hour last Thursday morning at the Palli sades, on the Jersey shore, nearly opposite Yonkers. The pugilists were Charley Lynch and Andy Kelly, of New York. The con test lasted two hours and fifteen minutes, and at the end of eighty-four rounds Lynch was declared the victor, Kelly having slipt and fell so heavily as to be unable to come to time. The contest is described by a par ty who witnessed it, as one of the severest that has ever taken place in the American ring. Lynch did not appear to be very bad ly injured externally, but Kelly died at the hospital the same night. But little effort was made to keep the affair secret. A BE.tn FAIRLIAVEN.—We are inform ed that a bear has been visiting the corn field of Mr. Eben Godfrey, who resides in that part of East Fairhaven, known as 'New Boston.' Ile has eaten considerable corn from the cobs, and has shelled it off in a workmanlike manner, if we may judge from the car brought to our office. Mr. Godfrey has shot at him twice, but his metal was probably too light to do any injury, as lie has since visited the field. About twenty persons a,sembled around the field on Satur day night last, prepared to give him a warm reception, but the "critter" was probably aware of their presence and kept out of ,ight. Ile is reported to be very large.—A - car Bed ,fort? Standard. '.TIE MOtTII PLASTER.--The Richmond Whig narrates that during a recent trip of the steamer Virginia from Baltimore to Fredericksburg, a Baltimorean ventured openly to express his sentiments in refer ence to slavery. When the boat reached Tapahannock, where he proposed to stop, the Pro-Slavery men on the boat told him they would communicate to the people on shore information of what he had said.— Thereupon he refused to go ashore. But the southern incendiaries went and stirred up the requisite excitement in the town, so that the man narrowly escaped lynching. He was sent back to Baltimore by the return boat DEATII IN AN IRON ORE MINE.—On Thurs day last Coroner .Jacobus was summoned to hold an Inquest Avon the body of Patrick Cannon, in Springfield township. It ap pears that Mr. C. and another person were employed in milling Iron Ore at the place above named. They were at the bottom of the pit, when the embankment caved in above them. One of them escaped uninjur ed, but Patrick was completely buried be neath the earth. Ills body was taken out about la minutes after the accident, but life was extinct. —Mont. Watchman. ONE OF THE TRICKS OF Bram.Ans.—From a confession made by a rogue, now in jail at Hartford, Ct., for various burglaries re cently committed in Farmington, it appears that one the gang with whom he was con nected traveled through various towns t,el - polishing powders, with a view of as certaining where sil•erplate was to be found. In visiting dwellings, he was always quite bold in following the inmates to adjacent rooms, to test his powders upon silver spoons or plate. He made a memorandum of what he saw, in a book, noting particularly those houses where a dog was kept. MORE EXPULSIONS 1 , 11031 TEE SOUTII.-A few clays ago, the citizens of Livingston, Sumpter county, Ga., held a meeting to con sider the case of a man named Samuel She rood, charged with being an abolition incen diary. Ile was ordered to leave the State within three days. John and henry Price, against whom the same charge was made, were lately compelled to leave Clark county, Miss. A suspected abolitionist has also been arrested at Columbus, Miss., and placed in jail for trial. A VErtruz; REMILICAY—We have been informed that Mr. A. Kline, who was born in Bucks county, one of our Penn,:t I% anha German., who, as a boy, was with Wash ington at Valley Forge, called at the room of the Republican Campaign Committee for documents for distribution. Being provided with the requisite articles, he carried them himself to Germantown and Oxford. The extreme age of this gentleman—nearly nine ty—and his zeal in the cause, struck us as significant of the progress of the great pop ular movement. ,Andrew Jackson was once making a stump speech out west, in a small village. Just as he was concluding, Amos Kendall, who sat behind him, whispered: "Tip 'em a little Latin, General. They won't be contented without it." The man of the iron will, instantly thought upon the few phrases he knew, and in a voice of thunder, wuund up by exclaiming, "E Pluribug Ununt—siiic 2uct non—ne phis ultra—multunt in parro." The effect was tremendous; and the Hoosiers' shouts could he heard for miles. ELEcrto): is KANSAS.—An election for a new Territorial Legislature will be held in Kansas on Wednesday next, the Ist of Oc tober. The Independence (Mo.) Messenger says that this election w•iltot be decided by the bona fide citizens olliFe Territory, but by the "dollar voters," as by the laws of the last Legislature any person can vote wlto is in the territory at the time of the election and has paid a poll tax. IVEAK EYES.—Some persons are unable to read much, because there is.a constant effort to clear away something by winking the eyes, at other times they water, and thus in terfere with their useful employment. Un der such circumstances, do not hurry off to an Oculist, nor go to poulticing your eyes, nor use any of the hundred and one cures, which reckless and presumptuous ignorance will advise with wonderful volubility and confidence. In many instances the difficulty may be controlled by darkening the room, letting only a small amount of light fall upon the page or sewing, just enough to enable you to see distinctly without straining. Let the light come in rather from behind and to one side.
