Unfortunately the Pennsylvania Ca ! nitl is not it. an equal state of readiness.— ' Thu repairs and alterations at the Basin arc 1 , nearly eumpleted; but repairs on the Canal ' somewhere above will probably delay the opening of navigation f r sumo time.-- : Justice to boat owners and boatmen de i mends that the water shall be let into the Basin at as early a day as possible. Many boats were laid up here during the winter, the Owners paying two dollars each fur the privilege of harboring them safely in the Basin, and trill pay the same price fur get ting them out this spring. By this means , they are deprived of a share of the early spring boating, which will fall to the share , of those who allowed their boats 'to take their chances of the ioo in the river over `winter, rather than pay the charges fur ducking them safely in the Basin.

We need not recapitulate the ar guments adsaneed in the article referred to; they will be pronounced sound and conclu sive by every Columbian, and oar most ear liest wish is that the members of the Board of Trade may succeed in bringing convic tion to the minds of enterprising strangers. We believe that there has never been a time! more promising than the present for a cur dial reception by our citizens of new capital and business enterprise in our town. The'' prostrating blow of 1857 to our iron busi ness—so important a proportion of our in dustrial interests—is felt to this day, and we shall Lail with joy any rrouritte of a re vival of manufacture in our great staple.-- The people will therefure, anziou-dy hope for and thankfally acknowledge the plod offices of the Board of Trade in aiding in the excellent work of setting our manufactur ing establishments once more on their feet, or adding to their capacity of employment and production.

This will be good news to all closes of the community.— The mill, worked to its full capacity, will employ a couple , of hundred hands, and the wages paid out will form an important addi tion to the circulating medium of our town. Give our iron manufacturing establishments a fair chance and we believe they will soon make their mark in the business of Colum bia.

Police Items "REPORTED UV OUR SPECIAL MOUCIIARD." CONTEMPT ot• COURT.—On the Zith inst., ; Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Brown Smith, (Gallus Jane,) made a complaint before Esquire Welsh against Miss Rebecca Jane Cato, fur disorderly conduct, slander, larceny,gen eral good-for-nothingness and enticing nffec tions from their rightful channels. Hollingsworth induced Rebecca Jane to' answer the same day, at the Blue Front. The gist of the complaint appeared to lie in the last count of the indictment. Rebecca had ensnared the spouse of E. J. B.,—Nate Smith—hence crimination, recrimination, a blow, a lick, a regular set-to and "de law." The 'Squire listened with his usual non chalant air, until the chance mention of Turkey Hill aroused a slumbering recollec t tiun, when the Court straightened itself and I looked searchingly at the prisoner. Then ' turning to a memorandum on the back page of the docket, the :ilagistrate inquired po litely of defendant, whether he had not ;had the pleasure, on the third day of December last, of sentencing her to twenty days incarceration. Upon obtaining an affirmative answer, the 'Squire further quos tioned: "Did I not, also, condemn you to perpetual exile to Turkey Hill?" The 'Squire's voice was preternaturally clam as he mado the query, and the darkey was frightened. She stammered out: "Do but yu' see, 'Squint,. I come back." In a roico of thunder. "Hollingsworth, take that wench down fur sixty days, fur contempt of Court." The Magisterial fin ger was shaken nt Nato Smith and then pointed to his wife. That "genus" but for giving woman, took the subdued Nathan under her wing and the two wended their way Ilill.ward, while Rebecca Jane went down ;gain.

Black, Henry anydem, The objects of the association are of such a nature as to commend them to every one who has the welfare of our Borough at heart. The aims of the association, as its Pream ble sets forth, aro "to promote in every hon orable manner the trade and interests of the Borough of Columbia; to be a medium through which information may be commu nicated to persons desiring to locate among us, and to extend, in every possible manner, our facilities for transportation, oar manu facturing interests, and to take all proper measures fur advancing the general inter ests of our community." This is a movement in the right direction, and one, the want of whia I ns long been felt to our disadvantage; for it is n well known fact that for the want of this united action our interests have suffered, when, had there been proper stops taken, many im provements which now serve to fill other towns with an industrious class of citizens, might have been secured for oar place. Sure ly our want of such manufactories cannot in any way be attributed to tha inferiority of le cation; for we can confidently challenge any place in our commonwealth to produce the claims to the attention of persons desiring to engage in any of the branches of man ufacturing business which our town can con sistently boast of, possessing as we do ele moots for makin. , a rich and prosperous community; situated as we arc in close proximity to the seaboard, and having no less than three sepereto cummunications therewith and very flattering prospects of the early completion of the connecting link which will unite us to the commercial me tropolis of our country, as also of the con struction of the road along, our river to the Chesepeake, witielt will make five different connections with the seaboard. We may mention too our convenient connections with the coal regions, both by Canal and Rail- Road which afford an opportunity of pro curing our coal at a reasonable cost. Wi feel proud in saying that these advan tagcs have not been entirely neglected, there being in our town and its immediate vicinity no less than six Anthracite Furnaces and one large Hulling Mill; to supply which, we have an inexhaus.ible bed of Iron Ore close by our town. In addition to this, might be added our Lumber Trade, Planing Mills, Foundries, Machine Shops, the aggre gate business of which amounts to over two millions of dollars; and, yet, we have ample room fur more, and our advantages justify us in calling the attention of straug ers to our place as one suitable for all kinds of manufacturing purposes. Our Board of Trade has taken the matter in hand, and have already such offers to make to persons corning here as will warrant, at least, a pass ing notice. They propose in their organ ization, to have a committee of three to serve each month, fur the purpose of giving all information to pratios interested and dosir in to locate hero. The names of the mem bers of the Committees will appear weekly in the bey. George Bogle, 11. C. Fonder smith and Chas. J.

This is the first morning to skip, and I'm a doing of it." The dame smiled slightly, as she replied, "You must be more apprehensive in going through the-world ur you may get apprehended, my dear.

REASON AND contoN SENSE Oar readers rosy ,remember we have on several occasions Bphi:en in very eulogistic terms of a preparation which Dr.cStru S. HANCE, of NM goltinarre Aitriet, Elaltirnore, Yld., has discovered. kir thetyre of Epileptic. Fits. Now, in doing so f vire have been actu nted by the very best motirserviz: the allevi ation of human suffering.., From circomstari: Fen which have latelyeome-loour knowledge, we fear there is a class of pFacins who are^not disposed to try this rem not "Carrionim genie' manner. We allode to the fact of selecting a ' particular maitre town where,perhapsithere are six or eight cases, and trying it on one case. Now, perhaps, the case selected might be the only one of the whole number that it would not cure. This is neither doing them. selves nor the medicine justice. if a dozen persons were stricken down with cholera in one town or neighborhood, would they all send for a physician, or would only one employ him and wait to see if he cured the first pa tient? That plan of procedure would be most absurd. So in the case of Dr. Hance's remedy, every one who has Fits should try it for a reasonable length of time. It will not cure in a day or week; nothing worth doing can be accomplished at once. What is easily done, is as easily undone. The growth of time is enduring. From the most respectable testi mony we have examined, we feel assured that by a proper perseverance in this remedy, nine cases of Epilepsy out of ten may be cared.
