Columbia, June 9, 1859.
-
By the above it will be seen that a step
lie about being taken in the direction of pro
gress in the important undertaking noticed
in last week's Spy. A number of the Com
missioners of the road call the people to
gether that they may give proper expression
to the sentiment of the public in regard to
the proposed road. Action has already been
taken elsewhere as shown in the published
proceedings of the meeting at Ephrata, and
we learn from the Reading papers that the
subject is being agitated in that city. Our
interest, as we have already urged, is
greater than that of any other community,
in accomplishing the construction of this
valuable improvement. We of Columbia
must not sit with folded hands, relying on
other energy and other capital to build a
railroad which is to mainly benefit our town
and ourselves. We are looked to not only
for the encouragement of our influence, but
the subscription of a liberal sum to the cap
ital stuck; else we shall see the road warped
from the direct line, to right or left, in an
swer to the hid of more enterprising and lib
eral comtnunities. Already there is talk of
Ilervi,jle as a terminus, the track of the
Pennsylvania road to be used from that
point to reach Colombia. Fur all benefit in
that case to accrue to our town and busi
ness, the road might as well terminate at
Bird-in-Hand or Mount Joy. But we be
lieve a demonqtration on the part of our cit. I
izens, of alacrity and determination in
work fur the advancement of the road, will
secure us at least such a chance as shall
Irate it dependent on our future exertions
whether or not we obtain our just share of
the advantages of the new link in the chain
of rail connecting the great sections of the
Chinn. It is capable of easy demonstration
that the road, to till its entire measure of
usefulness to the City of New York, whence
the means of its construction must be largely
drawn, should terminate at Columbia and
nowhere else. The line is by no means in
tended as simply a local road, dependent on
local trade and travel—though these will
form no contemptible items—for revenue.—
It was projected with an eye to the forma
tion of a direct line of travel between New
York and the South, avoiding Philadelphia!
and, eventually, Baltimore. It is the only
link wanting, and to mar it by stopping
short of this place will be to cripple the de
sign effectually, and convert what should be
a busy main artery of through travel into a
sluggish, purposeless country road, without
beginning and that no better ending than the
swallowing up of the funds invested its
construction.
But we are not disposed to lie down su
pinely and let the road be diverted from our
town. There is, we believe, now, a dispo
sition on the part of many of our citizens to
push forward our interests urgently, and to
show that we have a care for ourselves, and
expect others to consider our just demands.
At the solicitation of leading men in Colum
bia, the meeting for this evening is called
by the Commissioners, and opportunity will
then and there be offered fur an expression
of opinion and the adoption of proper mea
sures to secure our share of the advantages
to result from the construction of this road
over the proper ground, and its termination
at the proper point. We hope the meeting
will be fully attended, and that every man
will lend his influence, great or small, to
the cause of Columbia improvement, There
is nothing to occasion diversity of interest
or jealousy, and we should be a unit in all
efforts to advance the prosperity of the road,
and with it that of our town :tad citizens.
We are accused, and with too much justice,
of indifference on occasions of important
public meetings like the present. Time was
when every citizen of the borough was
looked upon to take his part in all expres
sions of public opinion, and the man who
shirked his duty was marked na a drone in
tho hive. Progress is the great natural law
which governs our country, and no commu.
nity can resist it and live. Nevertheless,
we would counsel a retrogression fur exam
ple's sake to the days when unity and ener
gy built our bridge, established our bank,
and supplisd our town with water. These
undertakings were accomplished while Co
lumbia was in its infancy, and its a people
see certainly have not, as we have grown in
population, decreased in material prosperity.
No; we are confident that an energetic,
united effurt on the part of men of every
condition will enable us to take our proper
place in the foreground of this enterprise,
and secure to us the fulfilment of every rea
sonable * demand. Let us begin earnestly
this evening, and not saddle the good work
with the crushing load of a cold, illy atended
preliminary meeting. We hope the turn
out will be large and enthusiastic.

A FOUNDLINO.—On the afternoon of Fri
day of Inst week, C. S. Kauffman, Esq., in
driving from the Lancaster pike to the
Chestnut Hill pike, ever the first road
east of Columbia, was attracted by a slight
sound from a corn-field bordering the road,
and on Lurning discovered an infant wrapped
in a woman's petticoat, laid in the open
field. The child was not crying, Lut fret
ting. A bottle of milk was by its side, and
it had, apparently, been but recently left.
Mr. Kaufinan's first supposition was that it

was no woman in sight. The child, a girl,
apparently four months old, was conveyed
to a• neighboring farm house, and on his re
turn to town Mr. K. dispatched Constable
Hollingsworth to bring it to this place.—
That officer and others made search for its
mother, but she was not to be found. The
infant was kept several days be Mr. Hol
lingsworth, when it found an adoptiVe father
in Mr. Adam Hoffman. The only trace of
the mother was at Black's Hotel where a
woman with a young child had staid over
night, and in the morning, nfter having a
bottle filled with milk, left for the country,
saying she had friends in the neighborhood.
This was very probably the mother of the
deserted child, but nothing farther is known
of herself or her movements.
The foundling is in kind bands, and will
undoubtedly be well cared for, which can
not but be a matter for extreme thankful
ness on the part of the very affectionate pa
rent, should it come to her knowledge. It
may also serve to put that philoprogenitivo
mamma's mind at rest to know that we
make no charge for the temporary occupa
tion of the corn-Seld.
MILITARY ELECTION.—On Monday •last
the companies comprising the 2nd Brigade,
3rd Division, P. M., held an election for
Brigade officers, which resulted in the choice
of Bartram A. Shaeffer, of Lancaster, as
Brigadier General, Daniel Humor Columbia,
as Colonel, Henry Shirk, of New Holland,
as Major, Owen Hopple, of Lancaster, as
Lieut. Colonel, and Lieut. Cox, of the same
place, as Brigade Inspector.
The election of Gen. Shaeffer was not
contested, his great popularity with the
volunteers of the Brigade insuring his suc
cess. It is now designed by his friends, we
believe, to urge him for the Major General
ship of the 3rd Division, composed of the
militia of the e ainties of Lancaster and
Chester. The General will ably fill the po
sition, and under his command the Division
will do honor to the two great counties.
Let him be elected by all means. Colonel
Herr's election was equally undisputed,
and we are glad to hail him in his old po
sition—one which he so ably fills. He is
justly entitled to the highest honors in his
profession, not only for his enthusiastic
military spirit, but from his etsperience as
a commander. Col. Herr has been identi
fied with the volunteers of our county for
many years, and we hope to see him yet in
his proper place—at the head of Brigade or
Division—of course without interference
with our gallant friend, Gen. Shaeffer.

A Destructive Hail Storm
Our readers will remember a slight dash
of hail with which we were visited last
week. We learn from our York and Adams
county exchanges of serious damage having
been done in that Section of the country by
the same storm, which had fortunately spent
its strength before reaching this neighbor
hood. The destruction of crops was very
great, and the loss to the unfortunate far•
mers scarcely to be est:tnated. The Gettys
burg Compiler says:
The most destructive hail storm that ever
occurred in this county, visited portions of
it on Monday last, about 4, P. M. The rain
descended in torrents in this vicinity, ac
companied by a "sprinkling" of hail, but
produced no damage worth mentioning be
yond the "washing" of several corn fields.
In the neighborhood of Hunterstown, how
ever, and from that point south-eastward,
by New Oxford, as far as Hanover, and
north-westward as far as Middletown and
Bendersville, the hail came down with ter
rific force, cutting off and crushing all the
growing grain and grnss in its course, and
rendering utterly wo:thless hundreds, yea
thousands of acres, which but a moment
before promised en almost unparalledly
heavy yield. A more pitiable sight the
enterprising husbandman never before had
presented to his eye. Farm aftev farm, to
the breadth of a mile or more, and proba
bly a course of eighteen or twenty miles in
length, arc entirely devastated, as though
an instantaneous blight had stricken them.
The wheat and rye were rendered perfectly
headless—the grass as though closely pas
tured—whilst the oats and corn were mown
level with the earth. From scores of wheat
and rye fields which came fully within the
range of the storm, not a bushel of grain
canlbe expected, so complete is the:destruc
tion.
The hail, much of it, was as lare as a
hulled walnut, and in places it washed to
gether to the depth of several feet—so thick
that on Tuesday evening all had not yet.
melted.
Tha Hanover Spectator gives the follow
ing account of the effect of the storm in
that place and neighborhood.
The hail stones which fell in the borough
measured some of them, four and a half
inches in circumference, many of them
were size of hickory nuts, while most of
them were size of musket bullets. They
were hard and solid lumps of ice, and de
scended with terrific force and tremendous
effect. It is estimated that from three to
four thousand panes of window glass were
shattered within the limits of the town.—
Our office and dwelling suffered to the ex
tent of 57 panes and many of our neigh
bors fared as badly. The Lutheran Church
lost, we are told, 126 panes. In other
parts of the boroughs the effects of the storm
were more disastrous still. On Abhottstown
street near the Railroad a brick building
in the course of erection and ready for the
roof, the property of Mr. Jacob Myers, was
nearly demolished .by the partial destruc
tion of the walls, involving we should sup
pose a very considerable pecuniary loss.—
The roof of Mr. Davis Gerber's livery sta
ble was likewise injured, though not we be
lieve to a serious extent. We are informed
that the roof of a freight car on the Gettys
burg Railroad was torn away by the storm,
and we arc authorised to state the al
most incredible fact that a number of holes
were actually driven through the sheet iron
roofing of a building belonging to the Han
over B. R. It. Co., so unprecedentedly violent
wns the descent of the hail. A gentleman
belonging to York had his handi severely
cut by the hail in front of Mr. 11. A.
Webb's grocery store, on Broadway Avenue.
Mr. Michael Curl, resieing on the Carlisle
turnpike, was similarly injured while en
deavoring to protect his team of horses--the
animals were swollen as if stung by bees
or hornets.. A hail stone struck a dog run
ning upon a rail track and he fell as though
ho had been shot. The roof Messrs. Shirk
S. Slagle's powder house was carried eff,
and the gable end of Mr. Kindig's barn de
stroyed. We hear of trees being broken
down, fences fallen and many other effects
of the storm in the neighborhood. It raged
with great violence in the country between
this and MeSherrystown. Some of the
hail stones were as large as hen's eggs and
the destruction of property of various kinds
was considerable. At MeSherrystown the
effects were about the same as at Hanover.
At New Oxford the storm was likewise
terrific and did immense damage, breaking
glass, destroying gardens, stripping fruit
trees. etc. Our correspondent at that place
writes to us as follows: "Rain fell in tor
rents inundating our town, in fact it was
impossible to see across the square for hail
and rain. It was alarmingly furious and
continued for about half an hour. The glass
in some houses exposed to the storm was
entirely demolished, the garden plants all
cut to pieces, and the peaches, plums,
grapes and cherries stripped from the trees.
Some sTpposed that the last day had surely
come, and one man was nearly frantic.—
When the stare had abated cart loads of
hail could have been swept up, many of the
pieces as large as shell-barks. A few days
ago farmers could speak of their crops in
most encouraging terms, not now, however
—their grain lies prostrate and the stalks
cut off. This is the case in this immediate
vicinity."
There is reason for believing that the
storm did not extend very far. It visited
York, however, which is 18 miles distant,
while Littlestown, which is but 7 miles dis
tant, escaped.
Other places and sections suffered heavily
from the same storm, but none apparently
to such an extent.
Go to the Town Hall this evening!
Tat WAR IN EUROrE.—We have not yet
been electrified by any very astonishing or
exciting news from the seat of War in Eu
rope. The Austrians, after sudden incur
sion into the Piedmontese territory, seem to
have contented themselves with warring on
a small and contemptible scale against the
defenceless inhabitants of the district occu
pied by them, levying contributions and
giving up the country to pillage. Their
scheme of falling upon the Piedmonteso
forces, and routing them before the arrival
of the French, was apparently destroyed
by interference of the elements. The heavy
rains so swelled the streams and over
flowed the country as to render rapid move
ments impossible. The delay permitted the
Emperor of the French to bring his forces
(into the field and oppose the Austrians on
I something like terms of equality. But lit
tle had been done, however, on either side,
up to May 20th, when a body of Austrians,
15,000 strong, under Gen. Zobel advanced
toward the Piedmontese position of Monte
bello, when it was met by the French, under
Gen. Forey, and a battle ensued, lasting
about four hours, at the expiration of which
time the Austrians were compelled to retire,
with an alleged loss of 1,500 men. The
allies lost 500, among which was a large
proportion of officers. 200 Austrian pris
oners were taken, among them a Colonel.
The French numbered not over 8,000 men,
supported by 900 . Sardinian horse. The re
sult of this engagement is inspiriting to the
allies, and the result will probably be the
retreat of the Austrians into Lombardy,
where there is trouble awaiting them. The
last steamer brings the following abstract
of news:
ALESSANDRTA, May 29.—The Emperor
Napoleon and all the troops are in perfect
health. The harvest has begun and the
army is abundantly supplied. The soldiers
are in high spirits.
General Garibaldi entered Como amidst
the ringing of bells and a general illumina
tion at night. All the steamers on Lake
Como are in the possession of Garibaldi,
and the Austrians are in rapid retreat.
.Luxo.tso, May 28.—The Austrians, pur
sued by Gen. Garibaldi, are withdrawing
towards Milan.
Garibaldi has also occupied Comeslo and
Lecco, (the latter 10 miles east of Como,
on the Lake of Lecco, at the mouth of the
Adria.)
Insurrectionary movements aro reported
in the Valtellino, and eight hundred insur
gents were in possession of an Austrian
steamer.
Another dispatch says, in reference to
Garibaldi's movements, that after a furious
fight of three hours he entered Como, and
the combat was again renewed at Camerlos•
ta, where the Austrian troops again gave
way and retreated.
The Austrian war steamer had cannona
ded Cnnobbio un the Piedmontese side of
Lake Maggiore without much effect.
Beams, Saturday, May 28.—Advices
from Florence say that Russia, Prussia,
England and Turkey have not recognized
the provisional government of Tuscany, and
that their representatives are said to have
withdrawn their flag•.
Pius, May 28.—The Pays says the Aus
trians quitted Pilitetogga (?) yesterday and
entered Lombardy.
The same journal states that England is
endeavoring to renew diplomatic relations
with Naples, but on condition that Prance
will simultaneously do the same.
The London Times says that the report
that M. Bernedilly is about to leave Paris
on an extraordinary commission to the Ger
man Confederation, tends to strengthen the
supposition that it is possible a compromise
inny be effected at no distant day, by Prus
sian agency.
HOW A DOCTOR Or DIVINITY LOST nts
"Sixrutx."--The Cincinnati Gazelle tells
the following:
When Dr. McMaster made his great
speech on the Seminary question, in the
PreNbytcrian General Assembly, at Indian
apolis, on Monday afternoon, the reporter
of the Gazeitc made arrangements to get
his manuscript as fast ns he read it—in or
to send it to Cincinnati. The Doctor laid
the sheets on the table before him, as he fin
ished them, and occasionally would pass
some over with "Here, Mr. Reporter." At
ten minutes to five (the hour the train
leaves,) there was quite a pile laying there
but the reporter did not like to take them
without saying "By your leave." He
waited fur the Doctor to pause,:till he dare
not wait any longer. It was already five
minutes to five, so be Seized the pile of
manuscript, and started.
Shortly after the Doctor came to "Sixth
ly." "Where's my Sixthly?" said ho. He
turned over his manuscript, but no Sixthly!
At last, with a perplexed expression on his
simple, child-like face (for though a very
large man, with a venerable white bead, he
had a face mounted on his body more child
like than that of Horace Greeley) the Doctor
said, "I wonder if that Reporter has carried
oEf my 'Sixthly?'"
It was even so, "Sixthly" was already on
the train, bound fur Cincinnati, and just as
the Doctor discovered the fact, the whistle
of the departing train sounded, seeming to
say, "Got your sp-c-e-ch sp-e-e-eh sp•e-e-ch."
"Got your sp•e•e-eh sp-e-e eh." The As
sembly was convulsed with laughter.

MODERN INVENTIONS
We know of no invention of modern times
that deserves or is destined to occupy a high.
er niche in the temple of fame, than the dis
covery or invention of the Vegetable Epileptic
Pills for curing Epilepsy, or Falling Fit=, or
Spasms, Cramps, and all the various modifica
tions of Nervous Disease. Dr. Seth S. Hance
of 108 Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md., the
inventor is certainly entitled to the best wish
es of all the benevolent portion of mankind,
who experience a pleasure by the alleviation
of human suffering. When Dr. Hance first
prepared these Pills, he intended them solely
for Fits, Cramps and Spasms; but subsequent
experience satisfactorily proved to him that
in addition to their remarkable sensitive prop
erties in this class of diseases, they exerted a,
perfect control over the entire Nervous system
He was then induced •to try them in cases of
Neuralgia, Tic-Doloreux, Nervous Headache,
Palpitation of the Heart, Incipient Paralysis,
Hysteria, Muscular Debility, and a host of
minor diseases, springing from a lack of ner
vous energy, in all of which his anticipations
were crowned with the most sanguine success.
Persons at a distance, by writing, and sending
a remittance to Dr. Hance, can have the med
icine forwarded by mail to their post office
address, by paying the postage. The prices
are for a single box, $3, two boxes $5, or s2•k
per dozen. We have given his address above.
