Being unable to extinguish the fire 1171.zid0 , 1 he returned and gave the alarin ;then a number of our citizens lent their a , ,qistance and by tearing up the burn ing planlzs and the use of a few buckets of water on the timber; which were already blazing, the flames were subdued. Had it not been for the fortunate presence of Mr. Rot‘ an the entire structure would undoubt ed, lain Loon destroyed—a pos4bility at which we tremble; for the destruction of our noble bridge would be one of the severest blows that could befall Columbia, and one that would effect her interests disastrously. Nothing is known of the origin of the fire, but it is supposed to have been accidental. The early hour at which it broke out pre cludes the idea of incendiarism. Gross care. lessness on the part of some passenger, bow ever, is clearly chargeable, and we hope this warning will be sufficient to prevent any future violation of the regulations of the Cumnany, prohibiting the carrying of fire, by mg:Lc ur otherwise, on the bridge.

Life Insnrance--Objections Answered 11, is stated that if the same sum that is expanded yearly in Life Insuranoe wore placed in a Savings' Bank. nr put out at interest, it would in a few years amount to ns much as an insurance policy. We readily grant this fact, but in reply would ask, vv hat surety is there that a man will I live a few yeary, or the term of his expected life e%en? Or, again, what surety is there that he will put out this stipulated sum at 1 interest, yearly? Past experience, at least, tenches that but few men do it; the 10,000 wid4we and orphans in our midst, give evi- I dence to the fact that it has been done! in but few instances. Suppose a person at twenty-five years of age, whose premium on SLOW would be $'20.40 a year, should rat thiM sum out at interest, at the end of one Tear, if he should decease, his family gets barely $20,40, with interest, added, making 421,82 only, sohereasfrom a, life they WO 41 get $l,OOO, vial his proportions of the nccumulatkons. Seccnd y. It is objected that is a kind of lottery, or species of gambling. that to I :nakc it a successful investment, an early death is necessary, &c. But this is a great misn.k., and is only made by those who know nothing of the principles of Life In surance. There is no gain lding about it— there is even far less chance in it than in the ordinary business of life. As has been before suited, the expectation of life nt every age is known, and each man is char ged that sum per year which, in the given number of years, he is expected to live, will amount to the sum fur which he insures, which his family receives at his death, to gether with the accumulations. If he dies ,uon, they then get simply the sum fur which he insures, with a small accumula tion. If he lives beyond the expected term of life, they get the amount of his policy. together with the addition of a large amount of accumulations; and he who lives to pay the most will receive the most. It is, in reality-,amore equal distribution of property, accordiug to the expectation of life. TM, y. It is objected to, on the gronnth that it is profiting in thedeath of a husband or father. Hence we often hear of the "uperstitious idea that "Life Insurance is the price of blood." This of course arises from ignorance, as precisely the same ob jection would lie against any and every sort of provision made for the family in an ticipation of death! Even the detail of property finds it in the same objection; yet we never hear that these squeamish per sons ever refuse a dower, a legacy, or heirship. The truth is, that Life Insurance is sim ply setting osido and investing a yearly SIMI:, with the certainty of a safe return with accumulations; whereas other invest ments, with a profitahle and sure return, are not so easily found, and often end in an entire loss. It is an association formed by individuals, who unite together, under a cuntract, to support each other's families in case of death. In order to accomplish this, it be comes necessary to establish a fund, which is done by a yearly contribution, duly ap portioned among them, according to their expectation of life, and the amount to be received by the family at each oue's de cease. Fouraly, and lastly. It is objected to on the grounds that it is distrusting the goodness of Providence. And the hypocrit ical pharisee, who is Le supremely selfish to deny himself the indulgence of some un necessary and perhaps filthy habit, in order to provide his wife and children against want, offers as an apology for his conduct his trust in Providence, as if Providence would smile upon ur countenance such blasphemy. Such a trust is sure to end iu disappointment. In the language of a. celebrated divine, "What right has a man to trust to Provi dence to do for hint what Providence has enabled hint to do for himsel? The wis dom and goodness of Providence arc shown in giving man the power, and circumstan ces in which he can exercise it. A neglect to use and exercise thi, power, is n disre gard of Providence and his manifest de signs. Does a man show his trust in Provi dence by entertaining the expectation that, though he shall neither plow or sow, yet somchew a crop shall spring up, which he shall be permitted to reap? Or rather, is not the right trust slmwn by plowing and sowing, planting and watering, and then, after all. looking to God for the increase. All that our limited power and wisdom can accomplish, it behooves us to do; and after that is done, there will still remain an abundant scope fur the exercise of a trust in Provideltre." An insurance ought to be effected now.— First, because it is less expensive than it will be when yon get older. Second, be cause, if in health, you will pass a medical examination and be accepted. Third, life is uncertain, and delays are dangerous. In proof of the first, we have only to state that the premium rates, per year, are increasing as yon grow older, so long as you remain uninsured. Whereas, when insured, you continue to pay, during your natural life, the rates per year that are chargeable at the ago you make the first payment. • A man at 43 years of age pays as much per year for a policy of $2.000, as ono at 20 does for $4.000, and at 50, as much for $2.000 as one at 20 does fur $5.300. This, with the accumulations made to each per son insure.: in the form of dividend., alone offers great inducements to insuring young. In regard to the second, nu Insurance Company Will take a risk where the person applying is not in sound health, with a fair prospect of long life. Hence it behooves all who think of insuring, to avail them- I selves of its advantages before the ravages of disease have marked them, and rendered their chances of acceptance doubtful. Third, and lastly. What gre .ter evidence do we want to prove the uncertainty of life and the dangers of dolly, than a moment's recede!). during which, our own observa.l tions and past' experience shall occupy our mind! How many can each one of us call to remembrance of mothers, orphans, and dependent parents, victims of the uncer tainty of life and this dangerous delay?— How many, but for it would have enjoyed a comfortable livelihood, who now suffer in abject poverty and want? Do not our in nermost feelings respond to the declaration that delays are dangerous. We have laid before our readers the ad vantages of Life Insurance, combated ar guments against the system, and would now urge tlllOll them the importance of pro viding for their families a certain means of support in the event of their own death.— Life Insurance is no new untried specula. tion, but an established system based upon principle, and proved by long years of suc cess. Among the leading Life Insurance Companies not one stands higher or on more secure foundation than the Patv:s Me re tr., of Philadelphia. This company has recently established an agency in Columbia and appointed Thomas Welsh, Esq., agent, from whom further infurtnation on the nub ' ject can be readily obtained.

WILL LAGER INTOSICATE?-011 Monday, 15th inst , a woman of the German persua sion appeared at the Blue Front and made formal complaint in her mother tongue, the meaning of which was Greek to the 'Squire. That prominent organ, the ear of Justice, being, inefficient, the arm was tmporarily paralyzed, and as a corrective the eye was ordered into active service: Richard was in structed to follow the deponent and see what he could make of her trouble. Arriving at the domicil of complainant, a Lager Beerery on the Hill, the officer found a German row in the full tide of successful experiment, conducted scrupulously in the "sweet Ger i man accent." He escorted the parties to the Blue Front, when, a sworn interpreter being procured, the fleets of the case were submitted to the magistrate. As thus: Johannes •Gopher, on a pedestrian trip with a recuperative object—health been del icate of late—arrives from Strasburg.— Stops at the house of call on the Hill. Drolithy with his long walk; has no °Hee -1 tion to a thimbleful of lager. Will as lief drink at the landlord's eat erase as at his CMS proper cost. Town-clock shows ono minute to mid-day.

Sis. Gopher pulling steadily ahead. At ninth strAce the thirsty one has thrown himself outside of ten glasses of beer. Landlord now caves and refuses to tap the keg further. Traveler demands the stakes. Landlord looks scornfully and brings in ten glasses of lager as a set off. ltow ensues. Proprietor's wife pulls foot in Blue Front. Richard arrives. Grand denouement. The Justice took these facts into serious consideration. Looked over his chief author ity—decisions of Welsh, J. P., in back num bers of Spy—but found no strictly analo gous case on record. Finally pronounced that "Although one swallow does not make a summer a few such swallows as Johannes Gopher's may speedily create a drought; I therefore said J. G. shall be taken from this place to the vaults of the corporation, where he shall be duly confined for the space of one night, at the expiration of which term he shall be escorted to the borough limits—due care being taken to ex clude him from all unprotected luger—and there entreated to leave our shores forever." All of which was faithful! executed. Two WAnnioas.—On Friday, 10th inst., Jnetice Welsh was notified of the re-pitch ing of Camp Ilantsch, back of the Basin, between Reese's Lime Kilns and the Sulli van House. Fightingßilly and his doughty lieutenant, W. Wallace Lockard, having successfully served the county for the term of three months each, found themselves free to pursue their military avocation, and squatted on their old stamping ground, much to the annoyance of the neighbors and the owners of the soil. Hollingsworth in command of a detachment of police was ordered to turn the right wing of the enemy and carry the position, which was performed in gallant style. The entire force of the Army of Occupation was captured. Billy and his follower were headed as they re turned from a foray on the Sullivan House, through a hole in the pig pen, with spoils to the extent of one quart of McGinnis.— The prisoners with thir armament—quart of McG. aforesaid—were produced at the Blue Front. The fighting fowl carried head and tail up, and protested that he would by no means go to Cadwellville.— Ile had spent shout twenty-three of the best months out of the last two years in se clusion, and he thought his own merits, to say nothing of a trifle of relationship to the 'Squire entitled him to - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The magistrate looked at the case in a similar light, and advised Billy that family ties and high con sideration for his personal worth so influ enced Justice as to warrant the release of the prisoner under bond of his solemnly plighted word of honor that he would keep himself sober and beyond the borough lim its for the term of six mouths. The re quired security was promptly given and Capt. Jtantsch was permitted to depart.— Lieut. Lockard carried too mooch Sullivan for effectual defence, so he was locked up for the night, and next mourning banishtd to Chestnut Hill for six months. TLIL' WONDERS ot= INvENTtox.—Atnong the thousand marvelous inventions which American geni LIY has produced, witliin the last few years, are tho following, compiled in an abstract from the Patent Office lie port. Read them over, and then say if you can, that there is nothing new under the The report explains the principle of the celebrated Ilobb lock. Its "unpl..kaldlity" depends upon a secondary or false set of tumblers, which prevent instruments used in picking from reaching the real ones.— Moreover the lock is powder-proof, and may be loaded through the key-hole and fired off till the burglar ii tired of his fruitless work or fears that the explosions will bring to view his experiments more witnesses than he desires. Mors and shutters have been patented that cannot be broken through with either pick or sledge-hammer. The burglars oc cupation's gone. A b•trponn is describe I which makes the whale kill himself. The more he pull, the line, the deeper goes the harpoon. An iee-making machine has been patten ted, which is worked by a steam engine.— In an experimental trial, it froze several [ bottles of sherry, and produced several blocks of ice the size of a cubic foot when the thermometer was up to eighty degrees. It is calculated that for every ton of coal put into the furnace, it will make a tun of ice. From one examiner's report, we gather some idea of the %mine of patents. A man who had made a slight improvement in straw-cutters, took a model of his machine through the western States, and after a tour of eight months, returned with $40.000. Another man had a machine to thrash and clean grain, which in 15 months, ho sold for $50.000. These are ordinary cases, while such inventiaus as the telegraph, the planing machine, and india-rubber patents' are worth millions each. Another examiner's report describes now' electrical inventions. Among these is an electrical whaling apparatus, by which the whale is literally "shocked to death."— Another is an electro-mug,netic alarm, which rings hells and displays signals in case of fire and burglars. Another is an electric clock, which wakes you up, tells you what time it is, and lights a lump fur you at any hour you please. There is a "sound gatherer," a sort of huge car-trumpet, to be placed in front of a loco:notive;:ibring,ing to the engineer's ears all the noise ahead perfectly distinct, not withstanding the noise of the train. There is an invention that picks up pins from a confused heap, turns them around with their heads up, and sticks them in pa. pers itt regular rows. Another goes through the whole process of cigar making. taking in loaves and turn ing out finished cigars. One machine cuts cheese; another scours knives and forks; another rocks the cradle; and se.ece or eight,take- in washing and ironing. . There is a parlor chair patented that can't he tipped back on two lea's, and a railway chair that can be tipped back in any posi tion without any legs at all. There is also a patentshen's nest, so com pletely arranged that the hen is constantly cheated into the belief that it has a real egg to sit upon; although the genuine desposit is carefully stowed away out of her sight. Another patent is fo . r a machine that counts passengers in an omnibus and takes their fare. When a very fat man gets in it counts two and charges double. There are a variety of patented guns that load themselves; a fishing line that adjusts its own bait, and a rat trap that throws away the rat, and then baits itself and stands in the corner for another. There is a machine also, by which a man prints, instead of writes, his thoughts. It is played like a piano-forte. And speaking of pianos, it is estimated that 9,000 are made every year in the United States, giving con stant emsloyment to 1,900 persons, and costing over $2,000,000. A GOOD ONE.—The following is reported as having happened at Bristol: A witty clergyman accosted by an old aequaintanco by the name of Cobb, replied, "I don't know you, sir."

Hance:-1 was in Baltimore in Baltimore, 1854, and from a paper 1 received 01 yu•:rs 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 had been afflicted with fits about twelve years. When reaching home, 1 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 yoli will please forward me two boxes. 1 suppose you can forward them by mail. Your compliance will oblige me. Yours respectlu'ly, Dr. Hanee's Epileptic Pills ale 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, udttcted w ith vague terrors, weakened by periodical hts, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that terrible tlassitude 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.
