Conductor of the train hem een this
place and York, will hate ebar,4c of the ex
cursion train through the entire route.
Tue "IRRITATION" t. long.—Some ex
planation of a paragraph which appeared in
last week's Spy seems to be demanded.
Sonic weeks since the citizens of Colum
bia were astonished by tumors which ap- ,
peared to emanate from our neighboring
borough, York, to the effect that the cholera
was raging in this place. The effect was to I
drive Philadelphia passengers off the route
through Columbia, and around by the way
of Harrisburg; and, more serious still, to
excite alarm in absentees from the town I
who were without means of speedily testing
the truth of the report. This was resented
by many of our citizens, the more so as it
was by no means the first instance since the
memorable actual visit of the disease, in
which the prosperity of our town had been
seriously endangered by similar reports, but
so healthy has been the borough and neigh
borhood that no alarm was created here.—
, We looked upon the rumor as too absurd to
merit serious denial in our paper of July
31st. In our succeeding issue of List Sat
urday, solely with the idea of burlesquing
the ehokra excitement in Turk, we reported
the itch as ravaging that borough, a state
' moot, the face of which, we thought, bore
sufficient absurdity and impossibility to pre
elude its serious consideration or adoption.
The prompt aAnowledg,etnent of a fault
is the simplest and mast honorable atone
ment. We now see that the paragraph was
rather calculated from misapprehension of
its spirit, to injure than burlesque our neigh
bors, and to the crime of want of foresight
and consideration, be:ides lamentable failure
to befitnny, we plead guilty, but are by no
means prepared to admit ourself actuated
by a mean spirit of revenge or retaliation;
much less do we acknowledge forgetfulness
of the noble kindness with which Columbia
was relieved by the citizens of York when
in actual distress, and least of all do we
how our head before the fulminations of
certain of our editorial eutempararies.
We originated a rumor which has proved
a source of serious annoyance to the citizens
of York, and of alarm to many whose friends
reside there: for this we are sincerely sorry.
This rumor has proved to our neighbors
the alarming consequences of an idle report;
fur this we are sincerely thankful; and if it
have the effect of abating the fictitious chol
era which almost annually visits our town,
no shall consider the unintentional little
breeze ra:sed by us in no wise an ill wind.
We take gieat pleasure, therefore, in
Mating that the rumor or the itch depopu
lating Yolk has no better foundation than
had the report that the cholera was decima
ting the citizens of Columbia.
since the above was put in type we have
been arrested on the suit of Daniel Jacobs,
of the borough of York, fur Libel. We
have no word to add or retract from what
we have already said.
; Tire SALE or TUC W.rtn CoNrANY PRO-
I rzarr.—This sale which took place on Sat
urdav last, resulted in the purchase of the
property, by Col. Shoch, for $1.5,350 00.-
1 Rumor states that a number of oar princi
pal citizens are interested in this purcha , e,
hut we have no authority fur asserting this
as a fact. Whether the sale was to au in
dividual or to a company wo congratulate
Columbia that the control of her supply of
water has not passed out of town. We
consider the property an excellent bargain
and the addition of means and energy to
make the service of water what it should
be, no less a valuable acquisition to consu
mers generally. A pleasing fact in eln
nection with the water question is the as
tonishing increase iu the supply of spring
water which has followed investigation and
repairs. With a moderato expense and the ;
effectual supervision which'is certain to fol
low a change of hands, we arc induced to
believe the entire supply of water can be
derived from the springs near the town.—
This will indeed be a subject of rejoicing '
in our place if it proves :wacticable.

REPORTED By CUR SPEC.TAL "310UCRARD."
A BiteActt Ifehen.—On Tuesday, 10th
inst., Miss Maria Regner, of Marietta, (a
town of 'Emile note, on the Susquehamin,
whose eldFlens are extensively raised fir
the ColuMbia market,) appeared befdre
Justice Welsh, complaining 'thather young
man, George Fisher, of 'York County, bad
deserted her for the space of two . weeks.—
George being under promise to commit the
rash act of matrimony with complainant,
she respectfully petitioned that the perSua
sive arm of the law should be interposed to
enforce compliance with the terms of the
agreement. She considered two weeks of
pertinacious absence from .ire ' hr i„ o f h i s
worship convincing and convicting evidance
of intention on the part of George to fly the
course. She avowed an inordinately cling
ing affection for the youth which nothing
hut death could extinguish, "nothing but
marriage or the sum of i2OO, good and
lawful currency, satisfy.
A warrant wits placed in 'he hands of
High Constable Derrick who ransacked
Wrightsville and suburbs, eventually lay
ing hands on the recreant George, whom he
conveyed to the Hymeneal Blue Front.—
Confronted with the fair Maria the young
man took heart of grace and bestowed upon
her the kiss of peace. Some gentle cooing
followed, in the German tongue, which was
Greek to our reporter but appeared good
English to the parties concerned. The pa
laver ended in a joint request that the
'Squire should join them in holy bonds.—
The magistrate put on his most clerical face,
his blackest coat, his most solemn and in.-
posing deportment, andlproceeded to solder
these two loving hearts. The apparent en
tente cordiale (".:nfallible Cordial") between
the parties was endangered at one stage of
the ceremony. When the solemn inquiry.
"Wilt thou take this woman?" Sc., was int
pressively propounded by the officiating
party to Go,rge, that slippery blade stood
out Inr conditions before responding the ir
i
revocehle "Ich will," Mr. Fisher averred
that the young woman had indulged in the
luxury of prevarication, and he wanted a
line inserted in the service to the effect that
she was not to depart from the strict line of
truth in future. The Justice properly re.
bilked the young man for his distrustful and
puerile conduct, informing him that if he
took the girl—and he'd better do it without
further trouble—he did so absolutely and
"without recourse." George gulped the
reproof, choked down further remonstran
ces and swallowed (figuratively) the young
woman. The knot was firmly tied, security
given for the costs, and the pair departed
as near in an embrace as a sense of public
propriety permitted.
Alas for the unfaithfulness of man! In
about ten minutes the Bride returned in
tears, complaining that her heart's lord had
abandoned her on the pavement uear the
office, and demanded his forcible return at
the hands of Esquire Welsh. That gallant
dignitary gave a pledge that Maria should
regain her own, and sent the mourner away
comforted. At latest advices the widow
was expecting George, who comes not.
MARIETTA WIIISEX vs. COM:3MA Lsann.
—On the same day John 13. Taylor, tayleur,
of Marietta, entered complaint before Jus
tice Welsh against John Gnus and sundry
others fur aggravated assault and battery,
with intent to rob, murder and commit vio
lence. John had conic to Columbia on a
little batter, having first carefully primed
himself with first class three cent whisky
for the occasion. Arrived at the basin cod
of town, like the man with the bill of fare
he commenced at the beginning and was
gradually drinking his way down town when
he cruno across the lager establishment 01
John Gaus, which he conscientiously gave
; the benefit of his patronage. He ordered
imbibed freely, and left precipi
tately, neglecting to settle obliviously. The
proprietor of the "snal" cried "pretzels to
the rescue!" and with the aid of several
compatriots, who strangely happened to be
within hail of a lager saloon, arrested Tay-
I for in his mad career. The latter repre
sented that the Germans had emptied his
pockets of his entire available resources,
which, upon oath, he solemnly declared
i nmonnted to the sum of fifteen cents. The
defense was clamorous, but before it as.
sumed definite shape the 'Squire succumbed;
the prostrating nature of the complaint,
which was poured directly into his ear and
nose in fumes of mingled lager and corn,
rendered a. patient hearing of the case im
possible. The audience was postponed un
til neat morning at 9 o'clock, with the hope
that the plaintiff would appear sufficiently
sober to make an intelligent charge. Both
parties were held under $lOO fur their ap
pearance.
On Wednesday morning defendant ap
peared, but the plaintiff failed to be on hand.
The Court improved the occasion by an ed
ifying address to the audience in which his
Honor alluded pointedly to the pernicious
effect of mixing whisky and lager, exhort
ing his hearers to adhere strictly to the lat
ter beverage. He admonished John not to
sell lager again to a drunken tayleur, and
concluded the services by forfeiting the re
cognizances of the non-appearing defendant.
Ltrist..—On Friday morning, Samuel
Wright, Editor of the Columbia Spy, was
arrested by officer Waring, of York, and
brought before Justice Welsh, to answer a
charge of libel, preferred by Daniel Jacobs,
a citizen of York Borough. The writ duly
set forth the particulars of the offense, with
which our citizens are already sufficiently
acquainted. The arrest was made in the
most gentlemanly manner by officer War
ing, but all his politeness could not save the
prisoner from a shouting escort to the Jus
tice's office. The miserable man sneaked
up Front street followed by a howling crowd
of curious, and on his arrival at the Blue
Front, that classic temple was surrounded
by n multitude, by so.ne estimated at about
5000 men, vromen and children; we do not
think the number was so great. On con
fronting the Justice, that awful dignitary's
eyes flashed with exultation, and the pri
soner there read his miserable doom. We
do not wish to insinuate aught against the
'Squire, but We 114141 ed we &meted a deter-1

in the old gentleman. No hearing was ne

prisoner's appearance to answer. This,
after protracted negotiation, was obtained,
and the editor
Justice parting with him reluctantly, evi
dently chagrined that the nature of the
charge did not admit of adccision sending
both plaintiff and defendant down for thirty
days at hard labor. The popular feeling
against the prisoner was intense, and the
amount of sympathy extended to him may
be imagined from the following remark of
one of the crowd, Perry Hood, to a friend,
Bill Brown:
"Dah! rse mity glad dat Sam Wright

And Brown made answer, "Dat's so!"

Tlll CIIARGE AGAINST DR. FILBERT.—OIIi
readers will nut regret the space devoted to
the following letters from the Philadelphia
Press, defending, most convincingly, our
townsman, Dr. Filbert, Quarantine Physi
cian at Philadelphia, from charges of official
neglect in permitting the infected bark Eliz
abeth J., with the yellow fever on board, to
kave quarantine and proceed to the city.—
As will be seen by the letters, and as the
united testimony of hundreds of Colombians
can substantiate, if necessary, Dr. Filbert
was in this place at the time the bark left
quarantine; and the Doctor's assertion that
the vessel was authorized to proceed to the
city contrary to his expressed wish, needs
no confirmation amongst his numerous
friends and well-wishers hero. The charge
was rashly made by most of the city papers,
I which, without investigation, settled at once
on the Quarantine Physician as the party in
the wrong. The satisfactory defence-of the
Doctor's conduct we hope will induce the
prints which have denounced him to do him
justice.
LAZARETTO, Aug. 9, 1858
To the Editor of The Press:
De Art Sim Your local reporter has been
particularly severe upon the officers of the
Lazaretto station for permitting, no is al
leged, certain vessels to go to the city with
yellow fever on board. There is evidently
a misunderstanding of the subject, or lam
sure such manifest injustice would not have
been done to those who hold office at this
station. The facts, within my own know
ledge, are simply these:
The barque "Elizabeth J.,"frora Havana,
arrived at quarantine on the 11th of July,
and was boarded by the physician in charge,
Dr. Filbert, who was informed by the cap
tain that the second mate had died at sea,
and that one of the sailors was then sick
with what he supposed to be yellow fever,
as the barque was from an infected port.—
The sick man was immediately sent to the
hospital on the island, and the vessel was
ordered to be cleansed and thoroughly vem
tilated, the doctor and quarantine master
visiting her daily up to the 19th of July,
when the former took sick and was unable
to perform duty. The Board of Health im
mediately seat Dr. Brown to the Lazaretto
to attend to the duties of the place. At the
request of Dr. Jewell, the medicalattendant
of Dr. Filbert, he left the station on the 25th
of July, for the purpose of improving his
health, and on the 29th of the same month
ho returned to the Lazaretto. During his
absence the barque was permitted by the
Board of Health to go to the city, although
Dr. Filbert had issued express orders pre-
vious to his leaving, not to permit her up for
some time.
I have been a resident of the Lazaretto
for twenty-five years, and in that time have
held the office of gunrantine master for three
years. 9irice I hive been accipainted with
the station, I am free to say that I lueve never
known a more prompt and efficient officer,
or one more careful in the discharge of the
duties incumbent on him, than Dr. Filbert.
lle has been unremitting in his attention,
and until stricken down bysickness,dovoted
his whole time to the performance of his
official trust. lie is, of course, subject to
the con e frol of the Board of Ilealjb, who
may . 'order a vessel out of his c ustody at any
time. Ilad he the sole charge, no fear need
I be entertained that any malignant or con
tagicMs disease would be brou;ht to the city
by resaOs from foi'e.ign ports.
My only object 'in 'addressing you is to
place the matter in 'its proper light, and do
justice to a faithfUl and gentlemanly officer.
Yours truly, 'lAcon PEPPER.
BARQUE ELIZABETII J.,
LAZARETTO, Aug. 9, 1858.
Cot,. Join./ W. Fonxzr.
Sin: I have seen many articles written
about the barque "Elizabeth J." most of
"'hidh tll"2 aild untrue, and consider it
my duty to give a true statement of the
matter, so that fault will lay were it belongs.
The barque Elizabeth J. left Havana on
the 30th June, and arrived here on the 11th
July. When:we left Havana, myself, second
mate, and three others, were down with
yellow fever. Fourteen hours out from
Havana, William Westcott, second mate,
died; and the rest of us recovered before we
arrived here. The seventh dt.y out John
Dorsey (seaman) took sick, and was put
into the hospital, hnntediately on our arrival,
by order of Dr. Filbert, where be died on
the 19th July. This is all the yellow fever
we bad. On our arrival at this place, we
were boarded by the doctor and quarantine
master, and ordered to have the vessel well
ventilated, which order was fulfilled. Dr.
Eilbcrt visited us every day, up to the 19th
July, the day he took sick, and was unable
to attend to duty. On the 20th July, Dr.
Filbert, being able to be out of bed, was
advised to leave the station by his physician,
Dr Jewell. Before leaving, Dr. Filbert ad
vised the Board of Health to be on their
guard about permitting the vessel to town,
The day after the doctor left, we were per
mitted up; therefore it was no fault of Dr.
Filbert, nor the quarantine master. I must
say fur Dr. Filbert, that he is the most par
ticular Lazaretto physician that I have ever
met in any port, and if he and the quarantine
master had full charge of the station, the
city would be guarded against malignant
diseases. On the 27th we arrived in Phila
delphia, discharged our cargo. and took the
vessel to Cooper's Creek, N. J., to lay her
up and paint. From there we were sent
back to the Lazaretto on the 4th of August.
The Ledger has bad me reported dead at
different times but lam still living and en
joying excellent health.
Yours respectfully,
ROBERT WILTBANIC,
Mate of Barque Elizabeth J.
QUARANTINE STATION,
LAZARETTO, Aug. 10, 1858,
Cut.. J. W. FORNEY-DEAR SIR: I regret
that it seems necessary for me to request
you to publish the following statement:
The barque Elizabeth J. from Havana,
arrived at this station, with yellow fever
on board, on the 11th of July last. She
was immediately boarded, her condition
ascertained, the sick removed to the hospital
at this station, and the vessel ordered to be
well ventilated and thoroughly cleansed;
during which she was visited every day by
the undersigned and quarantine master, up
to the 19th of July, when the former was
taken ill; and at the instance of Dr. Jewell,
of Philadelphia, he was advised to leave the
Lazaretto on the 26th of the same mouth.—
On the 27th—one day after my departure- 7
the barque was allowed to go to the city,
cortrary to my wish, as expressed in a let
ter from a sick bed to the Board of Health
on the 24th day of July.
The barque Warren Fisher, to which al
lusion has also been made in the newspapers,
arrived at this station on the 2d of July,
when she was detained until the 12th of the
same month, and underwent ventilation and
fumigation, after which she was permitted
to the city, by a resolution of the Board of
Health, passed the 7th day of July, 1858,
and transmitted to me. There was no one
sick on board when the vessel arrived at the
Lazaretto, nor was there any one unwell
when she left the station. The pilot was on
board the barque twelve days, and may
have contracted the fever of which he died
previous to his arrival in the city.
Every vessel arriving at this station from
the par* in the Brazils, Mexico, Island of
Cuba St. Domingo, Porto Rico, Louisiana,
Key West, Florida, and any other port that
may be infected by diseases dangerous to
the health of the city, is boarded by the
officers, after which a bill of inquiry, under

MILITARY PARADE IN MAATOWX.—A cor
respondent from Maytown gives us some
particulars respecting the newly organized
"Maytown Infantry" and their first parade
on Saturday last.
The uniforms) were received on Friday,
through the hands of Mr. Henry Slaymaker,
whose energy and attention have secured
fur tho company one of the most tasteful
and complete outfits worn outside of the
cities. The thanks of the members are
due him for his exertions. The entire uni
form is in strict accordance with the late
reguli.tions of the United States 4rp l y, and
this if one of the first Infantry Companies
in the state to assume the new regulation
hat. The Corps is under the command of
J. F. Gebhart Esq., whose military spirit
and knowledge promises to make, of the
fine material composing the rank and file,
one of the best drille'4 companies in the
ebantry. The members are young, respec
table, sober men, rind r ill doubtless make
for their organization a name among the
volunteers of Pennsylvania.
At twelve o'clock on Saturday the Mount
Joy rifles arrived and were escorted into the
town by Capt. Gebhart, of the Infantry.—
At one o'clock the Maytown Infantry formed
at their armory and marched to Centre
Square, where they received the Mount Joy
Rifles with appropriate ceremonies, after
which W. F. Amweg, Brigade Inspector of
this Divisien, inspected the new company.
The two companies then paraded the different
streets of the town, making a creditable dis
play.
The Maytown Infantry paraded 37 men.
They have on their roll 42 uniformed mem
bers, with a good prospect of a considerable
increase in their number.
When will the "Infantry" pay our town
a visit, and when shall we have a corps of
our own to welcome them?
DOESTICKS ON LACER BEER.—DOeStia9
has been trying to ascertain by experiment
whether or not Lager is intoxicating, and
below is given is his own language, the
result:
The first glass seemed like sour strong
beer with a good deal of water in it; the
next was not quiteso sour, and the next one
tasted as though the original beer had been
stronger and they did not dilute it as much.
Then we rested, and as I had drank three
pints already, I was willing to quit, but
Damphool assured me "Lager ain't intoxi
cating," so after a little settling down I
thought I could hold another glass and or
dered it; it was brought by a young lady
who seemed to have four oyes and two noses
pointing in different directions, which un
usual effect was undoubtedly caused by
smoke.
Then I thought I'd have a glass of Lager
(a liquid known to most of the inhabitants
of Manhatten.) It was brought by a girl
so pretty that I immediately ordered two
more, and kept her waiting for the change
each time so I could look at her—then we
had some cheese full of holes; then we took
some Larger to fill up the holes; and then
we took some sausage; Damphool suggested
that the sausage was made of dog: then we
had some sardines; Damphool said it would
be cruel to keep the fishes without a supply
of the liquid element, sowe had some Lager
fur the fishes to swim in; then we had some
brctzels; Datnphool said the bretzels were
so crooked that they would not pack close,
so we had some Lager to fill up the chinks;
then I made a speech to the company; short
but to the point, and received with applause
—it was addressed to the whole crowd and
was to this effect: "Gentlemen, let's have
some Lager?"
By this time my friend bysorne mysterious
process become mysteriously multiplied, and
there were fifty Damphools and they all
accepted the invitation and we had the Lager,
there were forty glasses, and in trying to
make the circuit of the room and touch my
glass to every one of theirs I fell over a
table which very impertinently stepped be
fore me, and as Iwent down I knocked
small Dutchman into the corner, then I fell
over him, then I partially recovered myself
and sat on his head, then I got up and step
ped on his stomach, then I demanded au
instant apology, then I called fur six glasses
of Lager, and the girl brought them all in
one hand. I tried to take them all in one
hand and broke three, then I tried to drink
out of the remaining three all at once, and
in so doing I took an involuntary shower
bath, then I tried to pay for the whole fifty
glasses and the damage with a dime and a
spanish quarter and demanded that lie
should give my change in gold dollars. There
seemed to be some difficulty about this, and
if I hadn't known that Lager isn't intoxi
cating I should have thought the man was
drunk.
TILE FIEST DISPATCLI. Ar LAsr.—The fol
lowing despatches are said to have been ex
changed to-day by the Queen and President
Buchanan, but we do nut see how it was
possible, as our Halifax correspondent in
forms us that no despatehAs can be transmit
ted for several days.--.Y. Post.
Windsor Castle, August 6, 1858.
'PRESIDENT BCCHANAN—Dear Sir: As
you will not permit me to 'visit' you, allow
me to drop you a line.
"Faithfully, yours,
"VICTORIA REGINA."
Reply of President Buchanan to the Queen.
"Washington, August 6, ISSS.
"My dear Madam: It is my impression
that you have dropped enough of your line
already, and that you are running the
thing into the ground.
"Yours,
- JAMES BccuANAN•"
PRENTICEIAN4.—We copy the following
from the Louisville Journal:
We are rather surprised to see a Virginia
paper, edited by one of the aristocracy, at
tempting to disparage Cain, the eldest son
of Adam and Eve. If Cain, instead of be
longing to one of the first families in the
world, had belonged to one of "the first
families in Virginia," his memory would,
no doubt, have been treated with more
respect.
The entrance door of the New Capital at
Washington—simpl the door—constructed
under the direction of the Buchanan Ad
ministration, cost $23,000. We suppose
that the Democracy of the country will
swallow unhesitatingly most of the Admin
istration's expenditures, but we guess that
even they won't like to boll Mod door!
In a late row one of the rowdies "shot at
a man and hit a horse." If a rowdy were
to make a bad shot at our neighbor of the
New Albany Ledger, he might probably hit
a horse, but, if he made a good one, he'd
hit an ass.
Isis rumored that one of the Sag-Nicht
editors in this State intends going to Cali
fornia. lie would have found it difficult to
go there by sea before the passage across
the Isthmus was opened. lle never could
pass around a horn.
An Arkansas editor complains that his
town. for some time past has been "filled
with fishermen and loafers." and wonders
"what they are after." After loaves and
fishes, no doubt.
"Would yon n4,t love to gaze on .141ogar4

less romantic companiop. "Oh no,'•' said
he, "1 should not lika to have a cataract al
