looked the queen as much as Victoria or Eu

HArriNc.—The river has boon in good
rafting order the greater part of this week,
and large quantities of timber have been
run. The high' winds Mice seriously inter
fered with the driviial of lumber; but a few
of the rafts on the way reached or passed
here this week'. The water has been at very
good rafting stage in the West Branch, but
the North Brunch has not got up to the
mark yet. Some lnmber is being drawn at
our wharves, but the trade is not yet brisk.
We cannot remember a spring with so much
high water and so few good running duys
combined. The wind seems to rise and fall
with the water, and the Consequence has
been that the raftscren have had to tie up
in many instances and let the water run
away from them.
Ibr.t.rNo Mz m. RAILROAD.—This local
improvement has been commenced by Mes
srs. Maltby & Case, and is being rapidly
graded. The road will be very easily con
structed and at light expense. There is a
cut of some three or four feet opposite Fifth
street, the dirt of which will make the ne
cessary bank along the dam: The' work,
of course, will tako but a short time for
completion. Necessary i'Mprovements are
being made ofortnd the Mill. A stable is
in process of erection and a new office with
stales fur weighing cars will be put up on
the line of the railroad. Considerable al
teration has been made inside the Mill, giv
ing, room and adding to its convenience.—
The Mill was to have been started on Thurs.
day, but not being entirely prepared for
work, commencement was nostroned until
Mondtry, Wlien we 110'0 again to see the os
tallishment resume operation. The com
pletion of tho 'Railroad and the accumu

sary before the Mill can be considered com
pletely started, but we hope it may not be
long before the' (Afters can work ?t to its ut

a dilapidated "Lhitchtmtn," stirred up the
neighborhood of Fourth and Walnut on

in a most offensive and persistent manner.
Ho was refused the "bit and sup," which so
acted on Eris' over sensitive and excitable na

The Sheriff was sent for by the ton-com

his arrival a three minute encounter ensued,
in every round of which the "authority" came

was sent down by Justice Walsh, as an old

the denizens of Sawneytown, fur kiehing up
a row, sleeping in the pig-pen and alarming
his fellow lodgers. Stephen's ease was a

George weakly complied. George felt that
he was doing wrong and tried to avoid his

For the Columbia Spy
MR. EDITOR—I learn there has been consid
erable discomfort among certain folks, because
the Town Council, under the sanction of the
Board of Trade, have given authority to Messrs.
Maltby 8. Case tcr ccrnstruct & railway on and
afong ; &tiff streetp because ; it is alleged, that
it will encroach upon and rather narrow tire
street, which is not any too wide as originally
laid out. This is perhaps, all natural enough
among those who think their interests are to
be affected; but I would respectfully ask why
some of them did not think of that when they
encroached upon the street by building houses
on it. The law says it shall be 33 feet wide,.
but if you will measure it opposite some the
improvements you will find it is not more than
30 feet 9 inches. What is our efficient Bur
gess about, that this thing,is so? I recollect
about a year agre when a certain• citizen hap
pened to , plant a post for a temporary fence a
heat oue from the right place, there was con
sidbrelide hullaballoo abbot it, and the then
Burgess (not the present one) was out early on
Monday morning, with tape, line and rule, to
show to the offender he must remove it, which
was doneaccordingly. It is by these frequent
innovations that the symmetry of our Streets
is so much interfered with, and have nearly all
become as straight as a dog's hind leg.
As our Board of Trade has very luckily
come to the aid of the Connell in , the manage
ment of our muncipai affairs, would respect.
fully suggest, that w new Officer be appointed
tivatrend•to all matters of minor but important
interest to which it is not to be expected that
our Burgess or our Council could give their
attention. He might be termed an "Alley
Snake," whose especial care it should be every
morning to see whether during the night there
have lizewany cow, horse r dog. or other “im.
proprieties" committed, calculated to offend
the senses of any of our good citizens. He
might also be empowered to inquire into affairs
of a domestic nature, with the view of having
not only a clean but peaceful town, so• that it
can be recommended to strangers as a• place of
summer resort, not only on account of its
sanitary condition; but for the peace and good
will between men and wife, neighbors, friends,
and business men; brotherly love, christian
charity ; neighborly feeling, &c., &.,

WONVERYUL, BUT TRUE
A few days since, Mr. 3as. H. Beadle, of
Huntsville, Alabama, caned on us and gave us
permission to publish for the benefit of suffer
ing humanity, the astonishing care which had
been affected in the case of his wife by the
use of Dr. Hance's Vegetable Epileptte Pills.
He informed us, that at the time his wife com
menced using the medicine, her system was
so entirely prostrated, by the number of
spasms she bad undergone, as to reduce her
weight to 100 lbs. Since she has been taking
the pills, she has entirely got over the spasms
and has gained in weight and bodily health.—
She now weighs at least 200 lbs., and declares
she is in better enjoyment of health than ever
before in her life. Mr. Beadle also related the
case of Mr. Harrison Lightfoot of the same
town, who has been entirely cured of the
worst form of Epilepsy by these same pills.—
Mr. Lightfoot's case was so bad that he never
passed a week without having an attack.often
falling down in the street. He has not had an
attack for more than a year. Mr. Beadle
thinks that if the pills ever fail in curing e
case, It is for the want of a proper perseve
rance on the part of the person in taking them
as he feels assured from observation in the
case of his wife, that if they are taken for a
sufficient length of time, they wilt cure any
case. Sent to any part of the country by mail,
on the receipt of a remittance. Address Bern
