TO THE READERS OF r i m spy,
As announced by /‘fr, 13ti r ,i in last week's
issue, he has given up 1/;.s connection with
the raper; and front this date, I shall as
'tine an editorial. 'relationship to my sub
seribersi whieb, let rue hope, may prove as
friendly aid - void of unpleaSi‘rttness between
editor end reader, as that of my predecessor.
Trt(ier my man%gmycim't, the SPY will pre
"serve its heretofore independent character.
I will endeavor to keep the paper free from
partizan politics; 'at the same time reserving
the right of commenting upon any question
of great pstblie interest, without regard to
its political complexion. I trust it is need
less to arsure my readers, that I will care
fully abstain from anything approaching a
pOsonal attack upon any one, in the col
limns of the Srr: I shall, however, feel at
full liberty to discuss ail matters of public
interest openly and fearlessly; and, while
making no 'pretensions to the thankless of
fice of reformer-general of public abuses,
idutll notice any short-comings or overreach
ings, with which the public may have em
cern, where, in my opinitm, a little whole
some exposure may Prove beneficial.
I shall pndcavor, by carefully collecting
statistics connected with tl:.l.,:t:t!tincss of the
town and neig'nborhor‘,l, to make the paper
nne of reference for business men here and
elsewhere; and will gladly receive any as
sistance from those who, engaged in busi
ness themselves, will naturally be the best
qualified to speak of their own peculiar
branches of the industrial pursuits of our
Borough.
With in the literary portion of the
paper, I think I can promise at least judi
cious selections; and will emicavor to present
such reading matter as will afford a pleas
ant hour's recreation and amusement to all.
Of course, I shall expect to furnish snore
or less editorial matter every week; but in
this connection, I must be chary of my pro
mises, lest my performance should disap
point. Making no pretensions to the litera
ry experience and excellence of a large pro
portion of my brother editors, I shall feel
Content if I succeed in placing before my
readers, in a plain and concise manner,
snob subjects as I may find myself called
upon to notice. If in even this moderate
ambition I rail, I can only ask a charitable
Criticism of my clef ciencies.
I feel under an obligation to my prede
cessor, Mr. Bull, for the kind introduction,
and for what my modesty must declare un
deserved compliments contained in his val
edictory of last week, and return him my
sincere thanks. Should he leave our Borough
lie will carry with ;Ilitn the friendly feelings
of myself, among those
,of many others; and
the best wish that can go with him is, that
wherever his lot may be cas, hereafter, he
may find as many friends and r.s few ene
znies as he leaves behind him.
Of my coteroporaries, I only ask the coF
tesy that I shall always endeavor to extend
to them.
I respectfully request a continuance of
the liberal share of patronage, heretofore
bestowed upon the Err.

the appended notice, from the Pittsburg
Daily Journal, a Republican par,,er, of the
new appointee to the Superintendency of the

We see, with pleasure, the promotion of
our worthy townsman, to a post of high res
ponsibility, which he is qualified to filkwith
honor tb advantage to the State.
But we regret the 'ioss of Mr. Mitchell, whom
we hive been 'able to number among our
friends, although, politically, there has been
tio sympathy bntween us.
This coning from a print, in opposition
to th'e arei,einting ',Owe', speaks well for
integrity of the new incumbent. We
are personally unacquainted with Mr. Mit
but he has many warm friends in Col
umbia, who, without an eye to subordinate
situations tinder him, assure us that his se
lection by the Canal Board to fill so impor
tant an office, has been a most judicious one.
VS—We have noticed, that young men
and boys, trained to business upon the pub
lic works, and in the establishments of en
terprising individuals in and around Col
umbia, can always command good public
situations of trust elsewhere. We gladly
record the deserved good fortune of our
young friend "Joe," who so ably, during
the last winter, filled the office of assistant
operator in the telegraph office of this place.
He has been recently appointed to the charge
of the office of the Great National Telegraph
at Elizabethtown in this county. This dues
great honor to the intelligence of the lad,
who is but fifteen years old, and to the ex
cellent instruction of his father Mr. P. X.
Ziegler, the operator at the Columbia office.
We are informed that this gentleman ho.s,
received the appointment of "Aw-nt fur
Adams & Co's Express", voluntarily vacated
by Mr. Jas. Moore, While sorry to loose
Mr. Moore, who has been invariably cour
teous and accomodating in his treatment
of all, we are satisfied that Mr. 'Ziegler will
transact the business of the company to
their entire satisfaction and to that of . the

ring the Week the river has been gradually
rising, and has attained a very fair stage of
water fur rafting. \. great deal of very fine
timber has arrived here, and is arriving ev
ery hour, yet we hear that comparatively
few of the manufacturers up stream have
their lumber rafted in. So tar as we can
learn, our impression is that prices have an
upward tendency, and that better figures
will be realized than last year. We know of
one sale of pine and oak at nine cents all
round.
Xter" We understand that our townsman,
J. W. Fisher, Esq., has been appointed Aid
to the Governor, with the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel. We congratulate him upon his
newly nevired rank and title, and call upon
all good citizens to evince their respect for
the Executive, hy immediately dropping the
snsperseded handle of 'Squire, and giving
the Colonel his full title henceforth.
Vajr- Cookman, the celebrated Metho
dist preacher, has said farewell to the mem
bers of Christ's C 11.11114 Pittsburg. Mr.
Cookman was instrumental in the building
of the church, a beautiful one. The under
taking was heavy, but highly successful.—
Oa Sabbath last, the Young Ladies' Bible
Class, of which the reverend gentleman was
the teacher, presented tohim beautiful copies
of Campbell, Rogers and the British Poets,
and another class a splendid copy of the
Bible. Mr. Cookman is one of the finest
pulpit orators of the day, end of untiring
zeal in the great cause to which he has de
voted his life. Ile was stationed at Harris
burg, for a period of two years, and while
in that position, acquired a wide celebrity
for eloquence and piety. Mr. Cookman is
well known to many of our citizens, per
sonally, while there are but few who are not
acquainted with a knowledge of his ability.
The church at this place is earnestly de
pirmis of having him stationed here, which
we anxiously hope will be done. He will be
a successful worket in tilt! great Cause
wherever be goes.—lnland Daily.

old sere room, in which the, teen dry &ids,
queepsware, and i
.grocery business, was for
e6'ioevny Years transacted. Its Isoeis nn;
the *pint of improvement, haft - edrivetted the
former dark, crowded establishment into a
light roomy, and 'in - Olt - trietefulli fitted up
and decorated store. By the removal of
partitions, &c., the main room is rendered
twenty-five feet wide by sixty feet in depth;
a new extension continues the store, with a
width of twelve feet, for flirty feet, where
it again widens to seventeen feet,' running
at that width forty-five feet, to within a few.
1 feet of the back alley; making in all a clean
depth of ono hundred and forty-five feet.—
The large front room is devoted to the sale
of general dry goods; adjoining is displayed
the finer class of dress goods, srlks,laces, vol
vets, mantillas, &c.; and the rear is occupied
Iby an assortment o f carpets. The store is
splendidly lighted by four large sky-lights,
and it conveniently fitted up with neat new
shelving; and directly under one of the sky
! lights a counter for showing dress goods.—
! The shelving, &c., in the main room is also
new, and the entire walls are covered with
r a neat neutral-tinted paper, which adds to
1 the decidedly pleasing effect of the whole.
A room on the second floor, twenty-five by
tarty-four feet, is conveniently arranged as
the queenswaxe department. The windows
in front, are of heavy French plate glass,
eight and a half feet in height by six and a
half feet in width; one is fitted up with
movable shelving for the display of china
and queensware; the other is the show win
dow for ladies' dress goods. The whole is
lighted at night by twenty-four gas-burners.
Altogether, we consider this store uneeuel
led, out of the larger cities,
fur good light,
neat decorations, and amp le accommoda
tions for both selling and buying. When
ire visited the store, ire found it filled with
a new stock of Sp7ing goods.
' The peoprietors of the property deserve
great credit for the liberality displayed in
teeir improvements. The wood work was
gotten up by Mr. Henry Conn, and we must
pay hini a deserved compliment fur the taste
displayed in his work.
' Another improvement, upon a less con
siderable scale, but equally thorough, has
' been mad in the store formerly occupied
by Mr. Kridler, now the jewellery Store of
Mr. john Felix. The latter gentleman is,
the owner of the property, and has ren
ovated the whole building. The front
has been newly painted, and the store,
together with the adjoining one, put in first
rate order. The most care, owever, has been
bestowed upon the room occupied by his
own establishment, and it is a credit, not
only to Mr. Felix, but to Columbia. The
fixtures are all new, and beautiful. In this
instance, also, an attractive feature is a large
French plate glass window some seven feet
in height by nbuut four feet in width.—
Through it is displayed Mr. Felix's beauti
ful stock to great advantage. Here the
credit for the carpentry, and not a little, is
due Messrs. Liphart & Shun-inn.
The New York ;miters have of lute, since the

oar astoindiment, that the paternal 13oker should have
been so oblivious of the natural laws governing this
wicked world, and its people, as to trust his precious
daughter within the ranch of a good-looking Irishman.
Is there au authentic instance on record, whereon Irish
man, so placed, failed to carry oil' his heiress? Mr.

A Verxentit VOTE.-A gentleman yesterday
being in a burry to vote before proceeding to
Sacramento, deposited at the third ward polls
a check for one hundred dollars instead of a bal
lot. But the most laughable part of the joke
occurred afterwards. Discovering his mistake
when about going on board the boat, he came
running back, and finding that he could not
get his check before the counting of the ballots
commenced, he voted again, and put hie name
on the ballot, that the inspectors might know
the check belonged to him. He also left or
ders to have it drawn, and part of the amount
spent for wine. But be was not to vote yes
terday; for on coming to the ballot with his
name on, they found that he had in his hurry
folded two together. and so the gentleman's
vote counted for nothing.--San Francisco Ikr.

ARRIVAL OF THE CONSTITUTION.
New nrk, April 2.--The Brennan steam
ship Constitution arrived this afternoon from
Bremen and Southampton, bringing dates
to Tuesday, the I7th ultinlo.
The political news is unimportant. The
Paris correspondent of the London limes
says that the King of Prussia has sent new
instructions to the Conference to the effect
that a recognition of his rights and sovereign
ty in Neufchatel is the express condition of
his renunciation of that sovereignty.
The Spanish expedition against Mexico
assumes a more imposing aspect. General
Petuela is spoken of as Chief Commander.
A dispatch from Copenhagen states that
the Sound Dues Treaty was duly signed on
the fourteenth of March.
The Overland China mail has arrived at
London. Its advices confirm the telegraph
in accounts of wholesale attempts at poison
' ing by the bakers of llong-Kong.
It is estimated that several hundred per
sons have been poisoned, but not fatally.—
The proprietor of a bakery was arrested
while on his way to Macao. on suspicion of
of having been concerned in the poisoning,
and he will lie tried immediately, at Hong-
Kong,
A largo number of junks was collecting
for the purpose of attacking liong-Itong.
Some fears were entertained by the English
on account of the smallness of their land
forces; and an application was made to the
Governor General of India, for a regiment
of soldiers for their additional protection,
which application was refused.
The French ships were anchored at the
head of the hay at Hung-Kong. The Ameri
can frigate Levant was also in harbor.
The San .Tacinto had proceeded to Linton
to look after some junks that had attempted
to intercept the American steamer Lily.
Commissioner Tell had addressed Com
missioner Parker, inquiring as to the reason
why he had not ordered the American ships
and s c!.jects not to intermeddlo in the pres
ent troubles. Col:;!nissiciner Parker's reply
is not known.

Tea his continued to advance at Shane:n.l.
and the market is excited. Sales of several
crops of Conru have been made at four

eight tads in October.
A Paris letter says a French Charge d'
Affaire., loft Marseilles on the 12th ult., for

WITII GREAT SLACOIITER.
New 17irk, April 2.—The steamship Texas,
from San Juan, Nicaragua, with dates to
the 20th March, and Aspinwall to the 23d,
arrived this evening.
The Texas connected at Aspinwall with
the Orizaba. She brings nothing late from
California.
The adviees from Rivas, the headquarters
of Gen. Walker. are to be the 18th March.
The Purser of the Orizaba, reports Walk
er's army in good condition, ant well pro
visioned.
Gen. Walker, with 400 men, attacked the
allies at St. George, gained the plaza, burned
an important part of the town, and then re
treated to Rivas, which Gen. Chamarro, at
the head of 1200 men, had in the mean time
attacked, and been driven back, with great
slaughter, by Gen. Henningsen.
General Walker met them retreating, and
they were consequently placed between two
fires, and becoming completely paralyzed,
suffered immensely.
The Allies' loss by their own account, a
mounted to three hundred and twenty-seven
killed, and over three hundred wounded,
while Walker estimates their loss at six hun
dred killed and five hundred wounded. lie
also states that his own lose amounted to on
ly two killed, and twenty-one wounded.—
Walker had the dead bodies burned.
The sloop-of-war St. Marys is still at San
Juau Del Sur.
It was reported that Caring, the Command
er-in-Chief of the Allies, is under arrest for
making certain overtures with Walker. It
is also rumored that Chinon had raised a
body of men in Leon, and is about to join
Walker, and that President Rivas has been
assassinated. The last report is said to have
been confirmed.

not received. He went away, and shortly re
turned with four Spanish quarters. "We don't
receive Mem, now," said the attendant, ....for
more than twenty emits apiece.. The coon
-trylman thought Uncle -Sam mighty particular,
so he away again and obtained a dollar in cop
pers. .Now," said he, on returning to the
office and 'laying down his "pile"-at the Win
dow of the deli Sery,• "1 guess 1 can suit ye."
The man inside looked at the display of "spe
cie currency," - and Cony said, "We never take
more than three - cents in:coppers at-tinf ene
time; it is vot a legal tender ,above that sum."
The countryman looked at the composed offi
cial for the space of a - minute and a half without
stirring; and then be belched out, "Look here,
you; ain't you kind o f particular, for fellers
locked up in such a jail as this 'ere? You
don't take only three cents in coppers at a
time, hey? Well, then, s'pose you give me
three cents' worth of stamps, anyhow?" 'The
official very politely cut him off a single stamp
and passed it out, for which the 'countryman
laid down three cents. He was about to pass
away when the latter cried Out "Look here,
you! Hold on! Th?'.'ll one time. Now s'pose
you gin me three cents worth more on 'em."
Uncle Sam's clerk was not slow in discovering
that he had caught a tartar. "How many
coppers have you g ot?" he asked. "Wall, only
about 97 of 'em; had a hundred on ''em when
I began." "Pass 'em in!" was the gruff reply.
"Pass out your stamps fast, and then I will,"
said Jonathan. "But 1. reckon you don't ketch
me again. The stamps were passed out, the
coppers were handed over, when the country
man went off saying, "1 s'pose because a feller
holds office under Uncle Sam, he thinks he's
smarter'n all creation; but I guess they larn't
something that time."—Lowell Times. '
A LEGAL ANECDOTE.—A friend at our elbow,
says that an exchange relates a legal anecdote
which is too good to be lost. It is of course
located "out west," that region so famous for
its luminous jurists; and illustrates the ruling
passion "poker," even among western mem
bers of the bat. The court is in session, the
judges are on the bench, and the case of Smith
vs. Brown is Called up.
"All ready," shouts the .counsel for the de.
fendatit, but the counsel for the plaintiff does
not respond.
"Who's for the plaintiff?" inquired the Judge,
somewhat impatiently.
"May it please the court," said a rising
member of the legal fraternity, "Pains is for
the plaintiff; but I left him just now over in
the tavern, playing poker. Ile's got the suck
er there and he's sure to skin him if he only
has time. He's got the thing all set to wring
in a "cold duck" in which case he will deal
for himself four aces and his opponent four
queens, so that your honor will perceive, he
must "rake the persinions."
The look of impatience vanished from
the face of his Honor at once, and an expression
more of sorrow than of anger took its place.—
' At length he said with n sigh:
"Dear me, that's too bad! It happened at a
very unfortunate time. lam very anxious to
get on with these cases."
A brown study followed, and at length a
happy idea struck the judge.
said he, addressing the friend of the
absent Pilkins, who had spoken, "you under
stand poker about as well as Pairing. Suppose
you go over and play his hand."
A GENTEEL STREET Sviissesn.—in a case
lately tried in London, a street sweeper named
liasmil was summoned as a witness. A check
was shown to him for identification, when he
carefully inspected it with a gold eye glass.—
In regard to this ostentatious display of wealth
a London paper remarks 1—
This exhibition, will, we fear, prove a
heavy blow to the ti creasing interest." Mys
terious tales have ever bren rife as to the luxu
rious manner in which the ladies and gentle
men who devote themselves to this somewhat
unpretending profession pass their hours of re
tirement. If we remember right, the tenant
of the bank crossing is generally supposed to
have married a lady of great personal attrac
tions, and considerable fortune, and to have
resided in a genteel villa residence in one of
the most polite suburbs. Even the less for
tunate members of the profession are said to
:meet at luxurious supper tables, and to laugh
over their savory rashers and steaming puhch
at The credulity of the public. Elderly street
sweepers of the gentler eex have died on mat
resses stuffed watt golden sovereigns. Their
outward poverty has been but the ugly wail
of the Alhambra, erected by the captious
Moor to disarm the Nemesis of his creed, and
conceal the internal splendor, which might
proVoke the envy of 'mankind.
A R6ASON TOR DEGERTION.—Among those
who have left the service of Walker in Nicara
gua is C. Leroy, a printer, formerly of Wash
ington City. A correspondent of the New
York Times thus accounts for his desertion:
A week or two before he left, Walker sent
him a few miles out of Rivas, with orders to
bring in everybody he might find living on a
rich hacienda, for the reason that the owner
was reported to have left the country. 'Leroy
found three or four young children, a house
keeper and a brotber to the owner. lie brought
them away midst tears and protestations, and
they were shoved into the common carcel of
Rivas. A day or two afterwards he was or
dered to visit another hacienda and bring away
the inmates. A eon of the owner was report
ed to be with the enemy on the river. Leroy
found only some servants, and two beautiful
young ladies, sisters of the foolish officer who
thought it no harm to fight for his country.—
In haste and tremblingly they made up a scan
ty wardrobe, came into the presence of the
patriot general, who without a word of expla
nation sent them to herd with thieves and vag
abonds in the military guard house. ""Am I a
man or a brute?" feelingly inquired Leroy of
himself—and coming to the conclusion that he
was not the latter, be deserted.
Wno Six:mum STEPHEN 7—The Buffalo Demo
crat narrates this good atory of one of the
miniature men, vulgarly called children :
A teacher in a Sunday school in K—, was
examining a class of little boys from II Scrip
ture catechism. This question was :
t. Who stoned Stephen /
Answer—“ The Jews."
Second question—“ Where did they stone
him"
Answer—" Beyond the limits of the city."
The third question—. , Why did they take
him beyond the limits of the city 7" was not
in the book, and proved a poser to the whole
class; it passed from head to foot without an
answer being attempted. At length a little
fellow, who had been scratching bit; head all
the while, looked up and said:
It Well, I don't know, unless it was to get a
fair fling at him!"
WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE—Prof. ,Wpod,
the renowned discoverer of the invaluable Flair restor
ative, still continues to labor orbelialf of the afflicted.
the medicines are universally admitted by the ',met
lean press to be far superior to all others for causing
the hale on the head of the aged that has been silvered
