"Dear Vlulet, what does all this paean?"

"Nothing." .tnswered Violet, with great

"Ought you not to write first to your mother

At that moment a servant entered hurriedly

before all. Launcelot stead where she had

xthruost out of sight, when "Violet! Violet!"
rang from the house like the cry of death.
Violet—a moment irresolute—returned,
-when almost unconsciously she found herself
kneeling beside f:,anacelnt, who lay senseless
in r. chair and saying, "Eauncelot, I not

The burden of pain was shifted now, from

in our bust week's issue, the Vigilapp Fire
Company will parade on Saturday next, for
the purpose of celebrating our Natioital 4n
nivetstry by bringing home their engine
which has been in the hands of Mt. Jacob
F. Bentz, a young and meritorious self
taught artist or Wrightsville, who has re
painted it beautifully, rendering it one of
the handsomest machines out of the cities.
The Company, with their Engine, will be
escorted to the east end of the bridge by the
Susquehanna Brass Band of 'Wrightsville,
where they will be met 14 the Susquehanna
and Columbia Companies and escorted
through the streets of the borough. We
have heard of nu other specie.' intention of
celebrating the day in Columbia, but sup
pose that th' timed amount of Patriotic ju
bilation will not be omitted this year, more
particularly as a day of rest Acceeds, offer
ing every inducement for a comfortable
"taper." We trubt for the honor of our
borough, that Patriotism will not necessarily
include rowdyism and disorder.
TIIE CULCII DIA FIRE COMPANY.—This
company intend practising with their appa
ratus every Wednesday evening, during this
summer, to the end of perfecting themselves
in a drill which will add materially to their
efficiency in case of fire, and prevent the
confusion arising from action without rule
or concert tit times of danger anti excite
mont.
We think this morement a good one, pro
vided the members of the company only par
ticipate, and the thousand blackguard boys
who congregate on similar occasions are
kept in due subjection, and not allowed&
asume the management of the "masheon."
The want of thorough organization is a ma
terial drawback to the usefulness of fire
companies that are, fortunately, so little
called upon as our own. While our "boys"
are behind none in their capacity and wil
lingness for up-and-down hard work, a
through training in bringing their appara
tus into speedy service, and obedience to
official direction will doubttets add to their
good tram as thorough firemen. We hope
that these practisings will end in work and
not play.
BLACKWOOD roe Jcxs.—This number of
the old standard Magazine opens with the
commencement of a new serial novel., "What
will he do with it?" by Sir Edward Bulwer
Lytton, *Molt promises to be in every way
worthy of its fictitious author "Pisistratus
Coxton." BulWer's later novels have come
to the public through the medium of Black
wood, and they are by far the most finished
works from Ms pen. We anticipate a re
newal of' the pleasure with which we read
"My Novel" and the "Cantons." The other
contents are, New Sea-side Studies—No. 1.;
Mr. Gilfil's Love Story—Part IV.; Ameri
can Explorations; China and Japan; The
Athelings, or The Three Gifts.—Part the
Last; Sir Francis Pa!grave and his Books;
Stewart's Practical Angler; Manchester Ex
hibition of Art-Treasures; Ivlagn's Birth-day.
KNICKERBOCKER roe Juiy.—This month
ly comes, as usual, filled with finished prose
and verse. It gives us this month a fine
portrait on Steel of Hy. J. Brent, the author
of a story now being published in the maga
zine, "The Hut." Old Knick seems mildly
infected with the popular taste for illustra
tion; for some months past it has trespassed
on Harper's province, and furnished several
very neat wood cuts; but in the present
number annihilates the Scientific American
utterly, with "Phomix's Feline Attach
ment" to the Sewing Machine. Nothing
has appeared since the "Patent Hen Per
suader" that approaches it in ingenuity of
conception, simplicity of principle (when
once thought of), and general adaptability
to the public wants. We anticipate a tre
mendous sale of the article, and put in an
early bid for the agency fur Columbia and
vicinity.
LONDON QUARITILLY REVIEW.—Wo have

GUITA PEUCLIA On. PoLuns.--This is a
new article for the preservation of leather,
destined to supply a want felt by all who
are compelled to , use the fifty compositions,
concocted after a thousand infallible re
ceipts, for greasing harness and other leath
er work, and which almost inveriahly end
in rotting the articles they are intended to
preserve. This is a clean, oily polish, put
up in bottles, and to be used in very small
quantities. It is said to be, for the preser
vation .43. f boots and shoes, the only first-rate
article over offered to the public. We ad
vise our friends to give it a trial. Fry &

Columbia on Thursday evening last, which
was, as is generally the case here when the
dontinenfals visit us, well attended. Their
singing girve the same satisfaction as of old;
and the favorite songs. as well as their new
selections. were cordially applauded. This
c o m p an y is of a stamp that assures an au

Wrightsville . and Marietta, by calling pub

proper statements of the utility and pros
pects of the proposed road. All these towns
will be benefitted, 'with Columbia, by. the
completion of this connection; and,altbou . gb
our own Borough has so far been the chief
mover in the matter, we think that the
others cannot but lend their assistligice to
make that completion a matter of certainty.
It will put Wrightsville and York upon the
great through route between the North
and the South, and open for the former
place and Marietta, the same extensive lum
ber market that will be offered to oiirselvss.
A meeting has been called or Tuesday
evening next, at Wrightsville, and a coin
mitteo . from Columbia will attend to ex
plain the nature of the toute, atad lag be
t.* rour neighbors what information we are
possessed of in regard to the probability of
its being succesfully carried through. We
trust that a good delegation froth this place
will manifest that wt Are in earnest in the
matter.
The meeting of Monday evening, called a
Town meeting on Wednesday evening, at
the Odd Fellows' Hall, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the propriety of a
municipal subscription, on the part of the
Borough to the stock of the road. Owing to
the unfavorable weather, this meeting was
adjourned to Wednesday evening next, when
the citizens arc requested to avemble at
the Town Hall, at 8 o'clock.
Subscriptions of stock are still being ob
tained; the aolount now taken foots up be
tween twenty-five and thirty thousand dol.
ars. By perseverance, such as has been
shown by the leaders in this important un
dertaking Columbia will soon she her pros
pects brightened by another line of raiirond,
bringing trade to her doors add money into
the pockets of her people. Do not let. the
spirit subside.
TWENTY ODD DOLLARS WORTH OF FEN.-
Two or the Columbia Rolling Mill Puddlers
in search of happiness, on Monday evening
last, sat down before, and laid siege to a
house in Union street, fiercely assaulting it
with paving -stones, to the serious detriment
of the windows. The propirietor made com
plaint, and the besieging forces were cap
tured by Constable Hollingsworth, and pro
vided with cellerage at the Town Hall for
the night. Next morning they were pa
raded, much to the entertainment of the
juvenile community, before Justice Evans,
who tariffed them five dollars apiece for
their basement accommodations, boot-black
ing, shaving-water, chamber-maid's fees,
and those thousand delicate little hotel at
tentions, usually classed under the head of
"extras," but in this instance baptized with
the persuasive title of costs. They were
furthermore mulcted in an additional sum,
as a pecuniary balm to the wounded feel
ings of the party of the second part, and for
wear and tear of window glass, sash, &c.—
Their entire bill footed up twenty-five dol
lars and fifty cents. They bled reluctantly;
but fifteen days below was the only alter
native, and as one of them very justly re
marked the Fourth was entirely too near
to think of commencing a collegiate course
at Lancaster. Thoy thought the case a
bard one, and were very clamorous against
the exorbitant price of Summer Boarding
in Columbia. They should take into con
sideration the first class nature of the ac
commodations, and the courteous bearing of
the obliging attendants provided by the
Borough.
Itta..lt has become so frequent a thing on
our river this season, for canal boats to be
carried down the stream while attempting
to cross at this place, that we ceased to
chronicle these little locals. We happened
to witness the rescue of a couple of mules,
on Thursday morning last, which had been
drawn from the tow-path of the bridge by
the strength of the current. Fortunately
the accident occurred very close to shore,
and boats were soon on the river with as
sistance. The animals had a hard swim of
it, but were both finally landed at the foot
of Walnut street. The boat was secured
below. 11 second boat broke loose in the
afternoon. The river is very much swollen by
the continuous rain, and the current of unu
sual strength.
SUICIDE.—An Irish woman, Mrs. Done
gan, residing in a court between Front and
Commerce streets, committed suicide on
Tuesday last by taking arsenic. '
ESCAPE or Poise:Yeas—Washington C.
Hartman and John Hendrix made their es
cape from the new County prison on Friday
night last, by cutting through the floor of
ono of the lower cells, where they were con
fined, and then removing the brick, mortar
and stones, until they came to the top of the
arch of the basement, from which after a
few bricks were removed it was easy to de
scend to the floor of the lower room. We
understand from thence they made their way
to the room in which the keys of the prison
are kept, thus making their escape. 'They
have not yet been arrested. The Sheriff has
offered a reward of $lOO for their apprehen
sion. It will be remembered that HARTMAN
was convicted at the April Sessions of Arson,
and that several other indictments for the
same crime were pending against him. MN
DRI X was also under indictment for the same
offence.—York Press, June 30.

On Motion of Mr. Peters, Prof. Wiclier

the necessary quantity of land, which wOuld
amount to fifteen thousand dollars.
Additional arguments were advanced by
Mr. Peters, President, and Mr. D. S. Bare,
Secretary of tho Board of !Trustees, Mr. J.
H. Hershey, Col. D. ?Orr, of Columbia,
Hon. J. (a. Shuman, Mr. J. M. Frantz, and

Resolved, That it is expedient thai,the Lan
caster County Normal, School, located at Mil

the provisions of the law'passed at the last
session of the Legislature to establish Nor

A resolution Was offered by Mr. L. M.
Hobbs, which was also adopted: That the
Board of Trustees be instructed to ascertain
what the necessary additional land , will
cost, with the cost of the materials, &e., for
enlarging the buildings, and that the Board
report at a future meeting'of the Stockhold
ers. But on motion of Mr. D. S. Bare, it
was agreed that the Board of Trustees re
port at the next meeting, which is to be
held at Cooper's Hotel, in this city, next
monday afternoon at one o'clock.
A resolution was offered and adopted, re
questing the Hon. Thomns H. Burrowes, to
prepare for publication a statement of the
present condition of the Normal School, and
the benefits which will accrue from the pro
posed enlargement of the building. This
statement will contain all the arguments
advanced by those who spoke, and as it Will
be printed, it is unnecessary to publish ar
abstract of the speeches made.
The meeting was then adjourned to meet

a short time ago. A gentleman at Monza,
a great lover of pictures, died. Among oth

pieces by "tuber's; the only pictures by that
master in Lombardy • that were in private
hands, one of them, a zodiac on a copper

A spirited dismission in the House of
Cominons hhd occurred io relation to the
destruction of Greytown by the vessels of the
U. S. Navy. Lord Hamilton inquired if
the government had demanded of the Ameri
can - government rephration fin' the proper
ty of British residents destroyed in the
bomberilreent. - - - • • -.- . -
Lord Palmerston replied that such de
mand had - not beep made. - The law officers
of the Crown having 'given the opinion that
the denuind could not be sustained,
A spirited discussion in relation to the
subject ensued, in which I , lr. Dlsraeli, Mr.
Roebuck and others denounced the bom
bardment as an outrage, and insisted that
the honor •of the British flag had been
ss
sailed, and vigorous measures should have
been instituted to avenge the insult.
Lord John Ressell and others defended
the course taken by the government, and
after some further conversation the subject
was dropped.
In the course of Mr. Roebuck's Speech in
relation to the Elraytown affair, he said that
the American government was dishonest,
and if the offending power had been China
instead of America, we would have heard
of an insult to the British flag, and repara
tion have been enforced.
Mr. Benthyle condemned the policy of not
resenting outrages committed by the Ameri
can government as more likely to promote
hostilities than to avert them.
M. D'lsraeli contended that it was a vio
lation of international law to bombard an
unfortified town. The French government
had sought redress, which England had fail
ed to do. De,believed that public or inion,
being brought to bear upon the matter,
would lead to the adoption of a different
course.
Lord John Russell approved of the course
of the government, but thought that expla
nations should be demanded as to the insult
of the British flag.

that port as the Quaker City came out.
General Santa Anna' has not yet made
his appearance at Havana.
The health of Havana continues good, and
no indications of epidemic in the harbor.
The Diaria; of the 24th, copies from the
,London Times the : charge that Gen. Concha
favors the slave trade in Cuba, or overlooks
the violation of the treaty, in allowing cov
ert importations, and denies, vehemently,
that there is one word of truth in these
charges against Concha. In Cuba, we are
told, his reputation is too exalted, to need a
denial of these false and calumnious charges,
and the denial is made for elsewhere.
Frightful Calamity.
A CANADIAN STEAMER BURNED.
TWO lIUNDRED LIVES LOST
Quebec, June 27.—The Canadian steamer
Montreal, was burnt yesterday when near
here.
Two hundred passengers wore either
drowned or burnt to death.
The victims' were mostly Scotch emigrants.
Montreal, June 27.—the steamer Mon
treal—the account of the loss of which has
already been telegraphed from Quebec—
contained. Five hundred passengers, and
only one hundred and seventy-five are known
to have been saved. ,
About two hundred passengers have been
drowned.'
It is believed, however, that many swam
ashore and were saved in other ways. The
accident happened near Cape Rouge, be
tween Montreal and Quebec;
Quebec, June 27.—The steamer Montreal
took fire at 6 o'clock last evening. -
The steamer Napoleon saved two hundred
I of the passengers.
The principal portion of the passengers in
the ill-fated steamer have just landed here
1 on their way West.
Tho captain and crew of the Montreal
were among the number saved.
Late advicos say that the number that
perished will reach three hundred and fifty.
Quebec, June 27, Evening.—The following
further particulars, relative to the burning
of the steamer Montreal, have been ob
tained:
The Montreal left here tt four o'clock
yesterday afternoon, for Montreal, with four
or five hundred passengers, mostly Scotch
emigrants, recently arrived from Europe. .
Nothing unusual occurred until the steam
er reached Cape Rouge, twelve or fifteen
miles above Quebec, , when the wood work
near the furnaces was discovered to be on
fire. Quickly after, the flames broke forth,
causing the utmost consternation among
the passengers. Every possible effort was
made to subdue the , flames, but to no pur-
Capt, Rudolph finding it impossible to
save the steamer, ordered her, run towards
the *bore. •
The officers and crew of the Montreal ex
erted themselves at the same time to get out
the life boati.
The flames spread with the most aston
ishing rapidity, and 'the wildest confusion
and .despair prevailed,throughout the ship.
A -number of passengers threw them
selves overboard and were downed,
also
for
the steamer Napoleon,' also
for Montreal, was but a few miles iu - ad
vance of the burning boat, and put intelt,
with all possible expedition to her assist
ance.
The Napoleon succeeded in rescuing from
the burning wreak, a hundred and twenty
seven passengers.
Capt. Rudolph and the purser of the
Montreal were amongst those who threw
themselves into the river. Both being
.ex
cellent swimmers, they succeeded in reach
ing the steamer Alliance, and were saved.
It is quite possible thatsome of the others
suceeeded in saving -themselves by swim
ming, but as 'the steamer became unman
ageable; when a considerable distance from
land; no doubt the most of those who threw
themselves flan the burning boat, met a
watery grave. ,
Sixteen of those who were saved died
shortly after reaching the deck of the Napo-
leon.
From present information. it la believed
that the total loss of life by this terrible dis
aster.vvill not fall short of three orroar hun
dred
persons. -
The steamer Alliance arrived beie Wei
afternoon with forty-five of the.dead bodies.
We have not been able to learn the naniea
of any of those lost; extpept: that, of Mr: -

Awattttos Aoars.—Some tin "ago, we
expressed our wonder that the greit cotive;
oiellae.orawninge shouldle confined. solely
to shops, hotels and other dwellings of a
public nature, while no one ever dreams of
rendering a private residence comfortable by
such means. Since the article in question ap
peared, we have observed one or two private
houses thus improved, and were struck with
the facethat no greater convenience for se
curing shade and cool. draught could be
imagined. Were entire - blocks of private
houses thus sheltered, it would be difficult
to realize that our citizens had ever gone so
long without so simple and yet advantage
s contrivance. Those who know the com
fort of passing, of a flaming hot day, if only
for a few yards, under some oasis in the
desert of a shop awning, can certainly ap
preciate the idea. So, too, should all who
would love to havast cool draught through
their parlors without admitting sunshine.—
And so, too, certainly should those house
wives who fear to open their windows lest
the sun should take the color out of their
curtains and carpets, and consquently keep
them shut a sort of Dutch exclusive
ness. It is a great pity that so simple a
matter is so little thongt of. Awnings,
whether 'for • single windows in the Italian
style, or for the whole range of the front of
the house, are, when striped and colored, a
a graceful architectural ornament, and one
tending more than any other to give a plea
sant relief. to houses otherwise devoid of
taste and spirit. We have little hope that
such a departure from old custom will ever
be generally adopted as that of putting
awnings before dwelling houses,
.but we are
happy in knowing that those - who have ven
tured on -the daring experiment would not
be without them for anything.—Phile.'l3a/-

CLERICAL WIT UNWITTINGLY.-At the re
cent medical 'convention holden at Lewis
town, the clergy_and members of the bar
were invited to the repast given at the De
Witt House by the followers of Galen, and
after the cloth was removed, during the in
terchange of sentiments, the Rev. Mr. 8.,
while alluding to the intimate relations be
tween the professions of the clergy and the
physician, in all seriousness remarked that
it was a somewhat•singular fact that "when
the doctor was called the minister was sure to
follow." The.doctors gave him three cheers.
—Portland .Transcript.
The above reminds us of a harder hit at
the doctors, which may be found in the Bi
ble. In the sixteenth chapter of the second
book of Chronicles is the following:
"And Asa, in the thirty-ninth year of his
reign, was diseased in his feet, until his
disease was exceeding great; yet in his dis
ease be sought not to the Lord, but to the
physicians. And Asa slept with his fathers,
and died in the one and fortieth year of his
reign.—Lynn News.
A harder hit at the medical fraternity
is given in Mark'i gospel, (v. 26,) relating
to a "certain woman" who "had suffered
many things of many physicians, and had
spent all that she had, and was nothing bet
tered, but rather grew worse!"
A BRAVE Glaz.—The Lynn News says
that a young lady, residing near Breed's
Mills, in that town, after retiring, one even
ing week before last, heard a noise which
caused her to raise her head and look about
the room, when she saw a man crawl out
from under her bed! She immediately sprang
up, seized a glass lamp, and, just as ho had
reached an open door, leading to.the stairs,
caught him by the collar of his coat, and
dealt. several severe blows upon his face,
with the lamp.• She then loosed her hold,
and, when he had proceeded half way down
stairs, the lamp came in -contact with his
head .with such force as to finish his' descent,
heels over head. „The police officer, from
-whom these particulars were obtained, says
the poor fellow is badly marked, and thinks
be will not trouble the lady again.
Aft.. Why is the tolling of a bell like the
prayer of a hypocrite? Because it is a solemn
sound by a thoughtless tongue.
