Bat in the eau of gold, the term carat implies, not so much way actual weight, as a fractional division, of vvitich 24 go to make a unit.

A Sam Francisco shopkeeper was runuingly outwitted a few weeks since by an unprincipled femoloin this wise. A la dy, attracted by the "lu‘eliness" or a cloak gracefully hung over a mock woolen's fig ure, purchahci it. In the act of paying, however, it became apparent that her finan ces lacked just one dollar of tLe required amount. After a little rea..etion, she told the shopkeeper she would leave with him all the money she had with her. and send her husband daring the day with the bid- once. To this, of course, the shopkeeper consented. Among other customers of the s.a.me day, a "lady," No. 2, was also fas cinated by the charms of this cloak, for which a greater portion of the price had neen paid, and, on inquiry, was informed lay the dealer that it was already disposed of, he at the same time unheedingly mcaLi, n:ng the particulars relative to the },crchase. She eon lit an a 'crmiplice who reached the shopkeeper's emporium.— The unwary dealer promptly wrapped up the chak in a neat pare , :l and politely nandee.l it over to the - t -we:ended husband, who t e uickly departed.

The Marietta Glee Club gave another of their beautiful songs. Rev. Mr. Stuck, of Lancaster suc ceeded. and spoke in bis pleasant style for some tnna. His remarks met with great favor aniJeg Ills audience. The meeting was now adjourned to a quarter past 1 o'clock, fur dinner. The justice done to an elegant and plentiful re past proved that the presence of sparkling truce is not iodisp.m.sahly necessary to the enjoyment of a feast.

After other appropriate exercises the meet ,mg adjourned in the evening. The attend ance was large, not only from this place, Marietta awl Lancaster, but geacral from the surrounding country, showing a great interest in the cause among the people.— The delegation from this ramie returned in the 5.35 P. M. train. Our Water Among the instances of past energy among our citizens are none more worthy of note than the introduction of water into Co lumbia. This was effected when the town was young and the population scanty, and the undertaking was one requiring nerve in the projectors and public spirit in the peo ple generally. The old Company was char tered in 1824, and the amount of capital stock paid in was about $13,500. Water was procured from Lockard's and Hogentogler's springs, above the town and the reservoir le located near the head of Locust street. The quality of the water which was generally in troduced into the dwellings, WAS the purest and softest. It was the subject of just pride amens citizens and of remark end congratu lation by strangers. From the beginning the management of the affairs of the company must have been defective. Although the average annual income was about $2,000, not only was nu dividend ever declared, but the Company became gradually involved, and the property was permitted to deteriorate. Much money was wasted in the erection uf a now reservoir on the Chestnut Hill Hod, and through the most unaccountable neglect of the mains leading from the springs the supply of water so decreased as to necesbi tate the introduction of the ; iver water. A pumping house with engine was erected at the foot of Walnut street and from this time the Company was in the mire. The quality of the water was seriously vitiated by the introduction of the filthy river water, the quantity was uncertain and entirely insufli- Ment, from the leaky state of the pipes and reservoirs, and consumers became very im patient under the imp's thin. The Com pany appointed an Assignee in the summer of 1.8: , ;, and by him the eotire works were sold to a compan, at publil. sale on the Bth of August. 1558, for $11,350. At the time of the assigumeut the Old Company carried a debt of about :51-1,0;0. Adding to this the capitol stock, $13,509, and income--say 52.,000 per annum fir 31 years—V,S,oo, we have an outlay of $95,.5d0 for the croction and maintenance of the Columbia Water Works. We have not added the intore , t an tho original investment, which is very inad. equately set oC lov the sum realked by the sale. The water rents for many years ex ceeded $3,000 per annum, and with careful regulation and economical management, the works must certainly have paid, riot o nly expenses, but fair dividends. The entire concern, however. was leaky. The Penn sylvania Railroad was supplied In' the Com pany with water at the rate of $7OO per an num, the cost of pumping which—as it was then pumped--amounted to $1.,000 or $1 ( 2,00. This is a fair example of the econ omy of the whole management. Under these circumstance:, we can only lament, fur the sake of the" stockholders, that the con cern was not sooner wound up. Singe the new company have taken pfis session a now order of affairs lias been in augurated, and we believe the improvement and general advantage to our town and townspeople hate been such as to call fur remark and eummendittion. A short time before the sale of the prop erty the failure of the supply of spring water NV a h partially accounted fur by the discovery o f a plug in the main supply pipe. Subsequent investigation showed a most serious waste of water from the leaky eonditi n of the entire supply pipes between the springs and the reservoir. This was the first point to which the new company applied a remedy. The old pipes were replaced by new, until the lines from Lockard's, Ilogentogler's and Mellinger's springs were rolaid. lip to this time about 4000 feet of new has replaced as much rot ten worthless, old pipe. Last spring attention was turned to tho source of the spring water, and careful examination showed the preti cabiliry of obtaining from the neighborhood of the Locicard spring a greatly increased supply of the pure soft water which used I t to be our boast. Accordingly a number of springs were secured and enclosed, and their strsams turned into the main. The old pipcs leading from the IlogenteAler and Mellinger springs were so decayed as to be entirely useless. Pry the substitution of new pipes there was here an important gain of g, , ,0d water. In.the present state of the old reservoir the supply from the springs, in dry weather. is not quite suffi cient for the wants of the town; but the water now served to us is in very large pro portion spring water. When the company which has an greatly improved bath quart- Lily and quality of our daily beverage shall provide fur it a fitting reservoir, as in good time it will do, we believe that the springs abet e the town, now to use, and being gradually added, will, except in seasons of extraordinary drought, furnish nn adequate supply of water for the use of the borough. At present there is necessity for a alight admixture of the river water, and the pumps are still kept in motion at the water house. Engine, pump, engine house and supply pipe have undergone complete overhauling and repair. The engine has been altered and refitted, a new pump has been substi tuted for the ineffieient old one, and a larger volume of water is forced at much lighter expense than ever before. The en gine room has been floored, painted and whitewashed. and concerted from a filthy hole into a clean and proper apartment. This portion of the property has been sur rounded by a neat fence and is kept in first rote ordor. Frcm whet we have said it may be as sumed that the supply of water is uninter rupted qnd sufficient for every purpose. It has been so ever since the new company tool: possession. Except under the necessity of occasional street repairs the water is never turned off. This unfailing abundance makes its advantages felt every day, but es pecially in cases of fire is the fullness of the banett resliv.ei. Where before it was a matter of painful uncertainty as to the weans of extinguishing or confining a fire, we now have proof, in a year's experience, that in time of need we shall not call in vain for water. The concern is in the hands of men who are determined to supply the town with water, in unlimited loan:hp and r.../ fair rates. They will not stint their care and reasonable expenditure to place the property in the most thorough repair, and give to Columbia Water Works of which she may justly be proud. They have, of course, their own interests to look to in the matter, and, that the new company may not follow in the wake of the old one, have established regulations looking to security for payment of rates. Of these we have but a word to say. We know that we now have a constant supply of good water, against an intermittent service of moat intolerably filthy fluid one year ago, and are content to encourage this improvement by cheerfully acceding to any reasonable demands of the Company. FAWKES ' STEAM PLOW.—On Saturday last we attended the exhibition of Fawkes great Steam Plow, at the grounds of the Lancaster County Agricultural and Me chanical Society, near Lancaster. We can give no satisfactory description of the machine. Our tine was too limited to admit of our seeking an explanation of Mr. Fawkes, who is most courteous and (v.m ready to give satisfactory answers to every question, and we confined our atten tion principally to the operation and work of the great invention. It was etpparent to every spectator that the work was done easily, rapidly, and well done, and that the inventor had complete control over his machine. The plows were dragged steadily through the ground; throwing eight even furrows. The turning was apparently as easy as that of an ordinary wagon, and Mr. Falkes could not have guided a team of horses with the little care with which he governed his Steam Plow. We had the evidence u: our senses that the plow did work, and have the additional testimony of experienced farmers that it "will work," which we consider comprehensive endorse ment. Whether it will be adapted to our small farms and fields is yet a problem; hut there can be no reasonable doubt that it is destined to work a revolution on the praries of the great West. Mr. Dickinson C. Dickinson, lately in business in Cul umbia, m whose liberal assistance _Mr. Fawkes in a great measure owes his sue , cess) informed us that on the open prnrie • the plow could be run at the rate of a mile in twehe minutes, and forty acres could be broken up in a day. The cost of Entel is trifling, and the hands required to manage the machine are two. With such capacities Mr. Fawkes, who has gone to the West with his plow, may be confident of success. He is as sure of the premiums offered for the Lest steam plow as if he had them in his pocket. We wish him the sueceJs his pluck and ingenuity deserve. BRuTIIERS AND SISTERS Or Lovs AND enanirr,—This order, composed of colored people had a picnic on Thursday last, at Heise's woods. They assembled in their room over the Spy office, and after donning their regalia formed in procession. Headed by Binehour's Band they marched through some of the streets of the borough and to the ground. The baud, and the females in regalia drew a crowd, and Front street op posite our uffico was very lively fora time. The procession attracted general attention admiration. Police Items REPORTED Dr OUR SPECIAL "MOUCFIARD." HEIRS AT LAW.—On Monday, Ist inst., Nathan Miller, of the Hill, made complaint before Justice Welsh that the connexion of his wife, Aunt Martha Loney, temporarily defunct, [Aunt M. went down for selling without license.] insisted upon inheriting the ersonal estate of that lamented dece dent. Ills house was overrun at all hours by swarms of soi disant nephews and nieces of every shade of eolor, who were always open for the acquisition of any little me mento of the dear deceased. This worthy oommon relative haring departed without making safft;lent provision of lucks of hair to satisfy the demand for tokens of remem brance, the runs upon Aunt Martha's limi ted stock of nicknacks became onerous.— The craving affection of her apochrypbal relations demanded satisfaction; and matt gre more appropriate "testimonials of re spect and esteem" this mourning kindred conceived itself entitled to whatever came under its acquisitive hands. Furniture, clothing, edibles,- potables—anything and everything rapidly disappeared. Impatience to inherit is a law of human nature, and Nathan Miller would not Ay in the face of Providence by striving to oppose it; but he put it to the Justice as an unprejudiced party, whether it is not customary, as well as seemly, to await the last breath of the testator before dividing the spoils. "Aunt Martha, true, 's dead to s'ciety fo' de pres ent, but what's de tombstones say; 'Squiah? Rcsurgam, Resurgent! Dat's Aunt Martha's motto; she's beau' to come up agin."— Therefore Nathan made complaint against Martha Brown, niece of Aunt Martha, fur the theft of two valuable patch-work quilts, and subsequent sacrifice of these articles et the ridiculous rate of fifty cents each. On the tame day Martha was arrested and had a hearing. She positively denied all knowledge of the "kivers" in question, but unquestionable evidence of the sale be ing on hand she began to have afaint recol lection that Robert Loney had deposited the articles in her hands for sale or barter. Robert being in temporary exile Martha was held to bail in the sum of $5OO to ap pear and answer the charge at the next term of Court. A Iturrsa HEALED.—Butcli Taylor, who was oneof the rioters on the Rill on the evening of 19th ult., and successfully eluded the vigilance of Richard, was finally cor nered Ly that officer on the night of the sth inst., and brought to the bar of the Blue rront. Esquire Welsh investigated the case and found Butch to have been a ringleader on the occasion referred to. Be destined him for County quarters to await his trial, but B. T. being provided with bail was held in $3OO to appear next Monday at the r,, , „aarter Sessions. Tug PILOT.-A tale of the sea. By J. Fenimore Cooper. 48fi pages. Published by W. A. Townsend, Zt Co., New York. This is the seventh volume of the beauti ful illustrated edition of Cooper's Novels, now being issued monthly by W. A. Town send & Co., New York. "The Pilot" ranks among the best and most successful of Mr. Cooper's noble works of fiction—first among his nautical tales and equal, if not superior, to any other sea story, from whatever pen. It was first published in 1823, and its pop ularity necessitated repeated editions, both in this country and England. This edition is the crowning one. Perfect in every mechanical accessory, and illustrated by Earley, it will be, when complete, the band somekt set of volumes ever ;sensed from the American press.

UNSWITLY ACCIISED.—Mrs. Henderson a widow living in West Walnut street, this city, was very ill treated on the 12th of May last. The child with which she was walking about, and which it was believed she had stolen, she had taken with the con• sent of its mother, Mrs, Mating, in James street, with her. The insult which this poor, Innocent woman, of the rabble of the community had to contend with, and the im prisonment which she had suffered from an entirely too hasty acting police, was alto gether out of place. The proceedings before the Mayor after wards, and the speedy release of her im prisonment, shows this plainly. We wore therefore requested, in justice to the above named harmle•s woman, who had the best intention with . the child which was given her in trust and under her care, to bring this before the public.—Lonectster Press.

Rance:—l was in Baltimore in Baltimore, 1853, and from a paper I received of yo'frs was induced to buy a box of your pills, recommended as a sovereign cure for the Epileptic Fits. At that time one of my ser vants bad been afflicted with fits about twelve years. When reaching home, I commenced with the pills according to directions. I do not think she has had one since. My wife, though, is somewhat induced to believe she may have had one only. Enclosed you will find five dollars, for which you will please forward me two boxes. I suppose you can forward them by mail. Your compliance will oblige me. Yours respectlully, Dr. [lance's Epileptic Pills are also a sover eign remedy for every modification of nervous diseases. The nervous sufferer, whether tor mented by the acute, physical agony of neu ralgia, ticdoloreux, or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague terrors, weakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that terribledlassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain of disability arising from the unnatural condition of the wonderful machinery which connects every member with the source of sensation, motion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of the pills, which at once calms, in vigorates, and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Sent to any part of the country by mail, free of postage. Address Seth S. Hance, 108 Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md. Price, one box, $3, two, $5; twelve, $24. FARRIL HERRING & CO'S.
