Stench, will give him a Complimentary Party, in the Odd Fellows' Hall, in this place, on Friday evening next, `7th inst. The high appreciation in which the Professor is held by his pupils and friends of this neighborhood, is evinced by the alacrity which is displayed by those having the affair in hands and the interest manifested in it. It is anticipated that the Party will be one of the most brilliant that Las ever come off in this place. HI .Governor Ucaru has resigned his con mission as Governor of Kansas Territory.— A highly important statement from him -relative to the Kansas troubles, bas been published in the St. Louis Democrat. Ile says that from the day he entered the terri tory, nut less-than fifty men were under oath to murder him if his official career did not please them; that one-half the outrages com mitted by the Missouri ruffians has not been told; that the mails were constantly opened he thinks the establishment of a ennTery TNTERESTING INCIDENT.—The individual in the Kane funeral procession, at Philadel phia last week, who attracted the most at tention was the devoted friend and servant of the Arctic Explorer—the man whose eyes first gazed upon the open sea—William Mor ton. He is a very ordinary looking man for one who has endured so many hardships, and surmounted so many perils. As the pro cession reached Twelfth and Walnut streets a little boy was observed to run out from the crowd, and grasp the hand of Morton in the most affectionate style. This proved to be his little son, who had not seen his father for more than five months, or since Dr. 'Kane went to Europe. Morton is a .Philadel ph i an . 'The Methodist Annual Conference 'will assemble in Philadelphia on the _sth lust. Bishop IVaugh, senior bishop of the E.Church, will preside. This conference now numbers '213 ministers, and embraces within its bounds the State of Delaware, the ..Eastern Shores of Virginia and Maryland, And that part of Pennsylvania lying between the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers.— Although covering but a portion of the ter ritory originally occupied, yet there are now 3 fa stations and circuits, and fifty thousand members of the church within its hounds. Seqt is said that the engineer in charge of the train which was precipitated into the Depjardins Canal, near C. W., whistled "on brakes," and while endeavoring to avert the .eatastroplie, went down with the engine.— instead of.attempting to escape at the first warning, lie remained at the post of duty, and sacrificed his life in a noble effort to save others. 21Eirit is a reinarkiti)le fact that all the inaugural speeches of Mr. Buchanan's pro .decesaors, though ho is now the fifieenth President of the United States, were deliv .ered since he was born, so young are we as a nation. AN ALDERMA N L I MED.—AidOrrilfl.l2W.M. P. Leonard, of Lancaster, was committed to the County Prison, on Saturday last, on a complaint made by his wife. Leonard was .elected in the South East Ward.

For Justice of the Peace, the two highest are a tie, as will be seen; and another elec tion fur that officer will have to be held, (unless either of the candidates endeavor to contest the election, on the ground of illegal voting,) as will be seen from the following extract from the Act of June 10, 1810; That in all cases whore an equal number of legal votes, has 'Jeep or shall hereafter be polled, for two or more candidates for the office of alderman or justice of the peace, in any ward borough township or district, so that the said officers required by law, shall not be duly elected, or where any election shall be declared void by the court, it shall be lawful for the qualified voters of such ward, borough, township or district, to hold another election for the choice of such offi cer or officers, and to fill such vacancy. But before holding the saute, it shall be the duty of the constable of the proper ward, borough, township or district, to give notice in the manner prescribed by law, that on a certain day mentioned in said notice, not less than twenty nor more than thirty days thereafter, an election will be held to fill such%acaney: which election shall be held and conducted in the mode and manner, and by the same officers and persons as the constables' elec tions are held and conducted, and at the same place and between the same hours, and be subject the like inquiry and judg ment of the court of the proper county, as aldermen or justices elected under the pro visions of the act, to which this is a further supplement. 14.. The following brief communication was handed us early in the month, but has been unintentionally overlooked until the present time. But it has lost nothing in interest by the delay. Any one who has paid attention to the matter, will testify to the truth of the assertion in regard to ',bp uselessness of a (pick lime as a deodorizer; and we hope where there is use for an agent of that kind, (as there was a week or two ago on one of our alleys and streets, and as there still is on some others,) something more effective will be selected. But here is the communication: For dm Columbia Spy DEODORIZERS. Mg. EDlTOlt—Altho' whitewash is a eleanly : looking thing, and to some degree a very little tree as-an anti-pntre.cent, or a disinfecting agent. Physicians are not al ways chemists or they would not recom mend the waste of lalior and money in spreading lime in gutters and other bad smelling places, where it is almost entirely inert. Chloride of lime, PLASTER. or PARIS, and copperas water, produce an immediate effect—and they should he now applied in some places in this borough. Many other things, cheap and effective, are recoannend ed, but common fallen lime is useless. CoLumnl4, March, 1857. S. LIM]: ARNS-J. flint to Motiters and Nitrsc..3.—The Harrisburg Telegraph calls at tention to a practice in that town which we have often observed as very common with us, and which certainly should be consider ed by parents and nurses. Nothing gives us such desire to suddenly cry out, "stop that?" as to sec a grown person dragging a little child, scarcely able to walk, along the street by the arm. This very common prac tise may be witnessed almost any day on the street, and it is ono which parents should constantly think of until they learn to aban don it wholly. We have seen with pity and regret, men and women walking out with an inflint, just learning to walk inch steps on life's journey, beside theta, raising it by one tender arm, carrying it clear across streets and for half a block beyond. You never thought that you were acting cruelly, doing lasting harm to yourcherished little friend, distorting its limbs and creating pain and peevishness. Those who are fond of young Doves manifest affectiontoo intensely when they catch their favorites by the tip of the wing and carry them about the street allowing- them to occasionally touch the sidewalk with the ends of their toes. ArrorNrmE:crs.—On Thursday last, the President made the following appointments for Philadelphia: Collector—Col. J. B. Baker. Naval (Vrer—Chambers 31.*Kibben Pustnzsler—G ideon C. Westeott.

ManwieK SOLD.—The Lancaster Inland Daily of Wednesday, says that "Hardwick," the beautiful country seat of David Long. enecker, ex-President of the broken Lancas ter Bank, was sold yesterday morning, to Mr. David Killinger, for the sum of forty thousand dollars, cash in hand. The building itself is one of the hand somest affairs in the interior of Pennsylva nia, and is situated in the midst of a noble plot of ground, surrounded with stately trees and tastefully arranged shrubbery.— The grounds are neatly laid out, with foun tains and statuary in different parts. This property was formerly owned by Mr. Mc- Elrath one of the proprietors of the Drew lork Tribune. The Governor of Masvaehusetts has ippointed Thursday, April IGth, as a any f fastinw, humiliation and prayer in that MEI ONE OF THE VICTIMS. The following extract of a letter, written by a gentleman residing within a few miles of the late melancholy accident, near Ham ilton city, Upper Canada, has been handed to us by Dr. N. B. Wolfe, for public use.— The deceased spoken of in the extract, is represented by Dr. Wolfe, as having been one of the most enterprising men in the Province, and whose loss will be felt as a public calamity: "Sr. JACOBS, (C. W.,) March IG, 1857. "My DEAR SIR— * * * This is a sad day in St. Jacobs. The founder, the friend and benefactor of the town is dead. Our mutual friend, Jacob C. Snyder, was killed on Thursday last, near Hamilton, on the Great Western Railroad, by the breaking the bridge over the Des' Jardines' canal, while a locomotive and train of passenger cars were crossing it. 'When the bridge gave way, the engine and train fell to the ice, a distance of forty feet, and then sunk beneath the ice into twenty feet of water, The engine and tender are nearly out of sight. The first passenger car lays upside down upon the engine, but under water; the second car sets end-ways on the top of the first car. Ton persons have been saved from immediate death, from the second car, but half of these will die from the injuries sustained, or be crippled fur life. Jacob was in the first car, and was only got out yesterday, (three days after the accident.) His remains were brought to this place, at twelve o'clock last night. It was a sorrow ful night in St. Jacobs. * * * Seventy eight dead bodies have been taken from the wreck." For tha Colambta Spy A FEW THOUGHTS, On Me proin:irly ofeslablishing a County Literary Convention Says the learned Thomas Dick, LL. D., in his introduction to a work entitled "Men tal Illumination,"—"Before we attempt to accomplish any great or extensive enterprise, it is requisite to ascertain, in the first place, whether the object we propose be attainable, and in the next place, whether if attained, it would be productive of beneficial effects." Making use of this quotation as a kind of text—if you please—l shall, after in few words having stated the obje .1 or enterprise in view, show, first, that it is attainable, and second, its effects will be beneficial. The enterprise is the establishment of a permanent County Literary Organization; or simply, a County Convention of Lyceums, to hold its meetings, say once a year, at any niiible place in the county. First, then, is it attainable? What bar rier is there in the way? We answer, it is; and there are no insurmountable barriers in the way. lam aware that there already exists in the county, a. convention of Lyce ums, or rather Lyceums meet in convention at a stated time once every year. It is not a permanent organization; in fact it has no organization, only when in council convened. I attended said convention myself at its last session in the beautiful grove adjoining Par adisc—Brua's Grove. llence, I can with the westernend of the the county. I then saw the need of it. All the delegations in attendance at that time were from the east ern end of this county and Chester county, with but one exception, i. e., the delegation from this place. And yet there were too many present to have any time to exercise as they should. 15 minutes to each delega tion was too short entirely. Now I think that there is sufficient material at this end of the county to establish another of like character—with this exception, that it have a permanent organization. Therefore, see ing that at said convention there were too many present to engage in the exercise as they would have wished, it, instead of being a barrier, is an inducement that we should establish another. Il can be accomplished if the proper ctiort is made. Let it be agitated. Let the literati of your thriving borough, as well as of the surrounding country, move in the nutter. Let them take their pens and give the readers of your paper some ideas ' on the matter. I know that if we all pull together, (and I promise you that the mem bers of the Y. M. L. Association 4this place will lay to with a helping hand,) then it will go. I say let us hear from some of your readers or writers, a plan of operations, etc., etc. Now, then, second, its benefits are many, I may say legion. It will be the means of establishing more literary associations in this region of the county, cause more taste for true literature. I might fill pages in writing of its beneficial effects; but lost I become tedious-I will close, hoping to hear from others through the columns of your very excellent sheet. J. T. B. Mouyr Jot, March 14, 1857. For Our Columbia Spy Ma. Emma—Why is it that with nearly 3000 inhabitants and every facility for the business, we have no carriage mahcr in Co lumbia? I believe a good one would do well here. We have two extensive livery stables —we are surround by a rich country, and all our farmers keep driving horses and car riages—and yet we must go ton miles, or more, to have one even repaired. I have myself spent nearly $lOO in repairs within a year, and would be glad of the opportunity to pay the next suns to some Columbia car riage establishment. COLVIMIA, March If), 1537. Mon is MlNstsor.t.—The removal of the seat of government in Minnesota, and the consequent "claim jumping," has caused considerable disorder in that Territory. At St. Peter, persons have barely escaped with their lives during the tumult, and the Sauk Rapids Frontiersman publishes a detailed account of an outrage, in which the "Claim Association" of Upper St. Cloud figured largely, siccing three young men, Messrs. Boone, Orr and Wilson, who were making a claim near the place—pinioning them, shaving their heads, and then, says the Frontiersman, "for pastime during the night they would drink all round, then throw the prisoners on their faces, with four men to hold them, and oneto apply the cowhide and deal out a number of lashes on each." The villians also threatened to shoot them, and were with dilEctritydeterred from doing 83. -. For the Columbia Spy. AGE. BY C. 9 ,,, ,:-M We live in deeds, not years—in thoughts, not breaths— In feelings, not ui figures on a dial; We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most—feels the noblest—lets the best. Time is a hasty traveler. With sickle swung to shoulder he trudges on, and at his nod days, years and centuries bow down and die, and are buried with the Past.— How rich is that Past, -if moments go to make up wealth! How rich are we, if those moments have been tamed to our purposes and made to minister to our intellectual progress. The history of a great man is an account of a life well spent, of years of gar nered learning, of days of intense applica tion, When sober ageTestrains our lithe some footsteps and dulls our eager sight, then the mind sees and the heart under stands. The young lingerer in life's paths is warned of the silvery-haired future, when effort must cease and ambition fail, though the goal be not reached. Despise, if you will, the motives of some ardent aspirant for fame, asperse his actions, but say not that ambition is a passion over to be quelled, is a troubling sore to human ity dangerous as it iscontagious! Youth should ever be =bid*. It is not a glori ous cheat. It teaches man to rival his fellow man. It bolsters states and exalts national greatness. The same 'rule governs it that governs all the passions. Perverted, it leads to our own undoing, ont:own misery. Nay, it may cast a broad and widening gloom over earth which centuries may endeavor in vain to dispel. Napoleon was ambitious, and bathed his hands in the blood of every stateof the continent—Washington was am bitious, and rescued his country from a ty rannic oppression and rain. The one was a personal ambition, the other national. His tory invariably discriminates between the two. It is to be lamented that so many of her pages ave but chronicles of bloodshed and slaughter, of nom bidet's tyranny triumph ing over prostrate liberty. The Napoleons are many, but the Washingtons few. How happy must be the view of the grey haired sire when he -eaks gaze back over a host of years fruitful of manly actions and stout endeavors! His repose is sweet since toil is relapsed. His conscience is at rest, for ho feels confident he owes mankind nothing. We are all debtors. Science and Art and Industry are advanced only by our efforts. This is Nature's debt—yet how often does she go unpaid. Too many of us die insol vent, with not an action to cite that is mem orable, or an achievement to be lauded.— We might as well not be, as merely live to live and die to die. We were created with a purpose; to work out our own future. We wore born to act, not to exist as spectators. What would not many a tottering son of time give to be able to turn to his yesterdays, wander back to childhood, and live again his buried years! Before him he sees the vast untraveled glooniOkthe grave, and he cannot, h inpi ro t 4a 34 lt :t attso ci vl i tt same scenes greet him It is not so with the sagacious man. In time past he has labored, therefore in time to come he may expect the results of that labor. "I3etter than Fame is still the wish for Como The constant training for a glorious strife; The Athlete, nurturd for the Olympian game, Gains strength, ut least for life." I. life is but a span, why not be spry and make the most of it? It is surely pleasant to have our names as "household words," and graft our memories deep in 'the hearts of our countrymen. Death would then not meet us with so dread a stare, nor the grave seem so deep and cold. The self-willed un tutored mind debases the great image that it bears and levels us with brutes. Some one has said, experience is a wise teacher. Ask the old man if this be true —he can tell you. He will relate his life's varied story—the joys of his butterfly days, when '•Life went a Ins:tying Walt nature, hope and poesy.' —then of the sorrows which loomed o'er his years and whitened his scattered hairs.— What a panorama must be sketch! At a bare wish it moves before him. Four char acters are drawn—giddy childhood, change ful youth, staid manhood and night-like age. Yet, he hopes still to livo—he tires not of his varied existence. How strong is our tenacity of earthly things. Perchance we hold fast to the life that is, fur fear of a darker fate! Well may earth's son of three score years and ten pause when he has arrived at the last scene of life's drama, and each moment threatens a denouement. Time has dealt gently with him, and permitted him to witness the rise and fall of many now, sleeping with the dead. Let lihn then read quickly the lesson so plainly taught by Nature. Who would be a "Zanoni," doomed to travel the earth fur centuries and behold the sorrows of oth ers find an end, while our own burden more heavily our anguished hearts? Man's years are long enough. "We live in deeds, not years." Find me the creature aged and near the grave's verge who would live again his days on earth. Our toils are replete, when time has made us gray, and sooner would we fall into the abyss of the pale, mystic future, than experience again all the trials and forlorn travels of the past. "There never breathed a man who, when his hfc Stns closing, might not of that tic relate Tolls long and hard" There are two goals in life. The first is the grave—towards this we are all traveling. Sooner or later we must all meet. Beyond this the roads fork. We must choose one or the other. See to it that thou scekost the narrow path that leadeth up to God! Gamy Ilim., March 19, 1857. ApPOINTJIZNI•DY ?NE CANAL COMMISSION ENs.--The Canal Commissioners have ap pointed .Josiah B. Haupt, of Montgomery county, Superintendent of the Eastern Divi sion of the Pennsylvania Canal. Mr. Haupt formerly occupied this position for a term of three years. gaauqudge Black has entered upon the discharge of his duties as Attorney General of the United States. TUE ➢TEASELS AND SCARLET FEVER.—The West Chester Tillage Record says— These diseases have prevailed in Chester county, during the last winter, to a most alarming extent. Sad inroads were made in many family circles. The scarlet fever has been very fatal, and spread terror around by its ravages, especially among children. The measles, though less fatal, have been still more prevalent, and unusually obstinate. In nearly all our boarding schools it -swept through, attacking nearly all the children who had never had it. In one school in Chester county, there were more than one hundred sick at the same time.—at another forty, and so on, few escaped. And it may be mentioned as an evidence of the care with which the children are nursed in our schools, that we have heard of but a single death in the whole number of cases—many of which were most critical and delicate. We learn these diseases aro rapidly disappearing from our community. [Bdiley's "Festus." CARRYING FIRE ARMS.—Here is another terrible warning against the carrying of fire arms habitually. A company had gathered in Lebanon, Ohio, for a wedding, wlien one of the guests took oft his overcoat, from the pocket of which dropped a small pistol. A young lady present picked up the weapon, when Frederick Spohr asked her to hand it to him, in doing which it was discharged, and the ball entered the left corner of the right eye of Spohr, causing death instantly. The marriage was deferred, and with strick en hearts the guests left the scene. The deceased was an enterprising citizen, and has left a wife and three children. CORN vs. Cont,.—A farmer about one hun dred and fifty miles south of Chicago got out of coal, and as the roads were in bad condi tion he thought he would try the virtue of corn in the ear to supply the place of coal. It worked so well that subsequently he pur chased a load of coal and tried it by measure in contrast with the corn, and the experi ment developed the fact that the corn fuel was the cheapest and the best. The corn and the coal were worth the same prise per bush el, thirty cents each, and the corn went the furthest and made the cleanest and best fire. QUEER RELATiONSIIIP.—It is said that there is a widower in Camden, N. J., who recently married a young girl, and soon af ter, his son by a former wife, married his father's wife's mother. In consequence of these two connections, a father became the son-in-law of his son, and the wife not only the daughter-in-law of her own son-in-law, but still more, the mother-in-law of her own daughter; while the husband of the latter is the father-in-law of his own mother-in-law to his own father. Singular confusion may arise, if children should spring from these peculiar marriages. (SITE BadtttO. COLIINBIA LUMBER MARKET. WHOLESALE PRICES.

March 14,1867-ly READ TIMES...43ED AND TOWING% DROF, WOOD'S Hair Restorative, is, no doubt, the most wonderful discovery of this age of progress, for it will restore, permanently. gray hair to its original color, cover the head of the bald with a most luxuriant growth. remove at once all dandruff and itching, cure all scrofula, and other cutaneous eruptions, such as scald bead, etc. It will cure, as if by magic, nervous or periodical headache; make the hair eon, glossy, and wavy, and preserve the color perfectly, and the hair from falling, to extreme old age. The following is from a distinguished member of the medical profession: s s PROMRI.OR 0. J. WOOD—Tkar Sir:—Unsolicited send you this certificate. After being nearly bald for a long time. and having tried all the hair restoratives extant, arid having no faith in any, I was induced, on hearing of yours to give it a trial. I placed myself in the bands of is barber. and had my head rubbed with a good stiff brush, and the Restorative then applied and well rubbed in, till the scalp was aglow. This I repeated every morning, and In three weeks the young hair appeared and grew rapidly from August last till the present time, and Is now thick, black and strong—soft and pleasant to the touch; whereas, be fore, it was harsh and wiry, what little there was o f it, and that little was disappearing 'very rapidly. I still use your restorative about twice a week, and soon have a good and perfect crop of hair.— Now. I had read of these things—and who.has not? but have not seen hitherto any cane where any per scat's hair was really benefited by any of the hair tonic, etc., of the day; and it really gives me pleasure to record the result of my experience. I have recom mended your preparation to others. and it already has • large and general sale throughout the Territory.— The people here know its effeets,and have confidence in it. The supply . you sent us, as wholesale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhausted, and daily in quiries are wide for it. You deserve credit for your discovery; and f. for one, return you my thanks far the bene fi t it has done me, for I certanify had despaired long ceo of ever effecting any suck result. Yours, hastily, J. W. BOND, Firm of Bond Le Kelley Druggists, St. Paul. From the Editor of the Real Beate Advertiser. • • Do-ton, 27 School Street, March 20.1855. /her Sir:—(laving become prematurely quite gray. I was induced, some weeks since, to make a trial of your Restorative. I have used lets than two bottles, but the gray hairs have all disappeared; and although my hair hits not fully attained its origtnul color, yet I. the process of change is gradually going on, and sin in great hopes that in a short time my hair will be as dark as formerly. I have also been much gratified at the healthy moisture and vigor of the hair, which before was harsh and dry; and it has ceased to come out as formerly. Respectfully yours, Professor \Woos). D. C.
