NOT DEAD YET.—Tredeniek desires us to say that after his recent "severe attack" he is convalescent, and "About again, head Up." The "Big Hat" swings in its place as usual, and will not come down, in spite of the prediction of its rivals. He will sell Hats and Cups, roots and Stiocs, a trifle lower than any other person can sell them. "Old Trod" is mighty hard to kill. if you want an 3 thing in his line give him a lift. call attention to the card of Mr. and Madame !legman in our advertising col umns. We would adi that we can consci entiously reecornmend M. 'legman as the best leacher of languages we have over met. We have been some four months under his tuition and from this experience we cor.sider hint not only perfectly acquaints:l with the foreign tongoes which he undertakes to teach, but fully competent to instruct-in En glish Grammar. lie is the most thou ough grammarian we have ever studied under.— Pupils desiring a solid grounding in the languaws—ancient and modern—Will do well to place themselves in Mr. Ilegman's charge. Ills terms are moderate, We have recently had an opportunity of listening to 31adame !legman's music. and, without pretending to critical judgment, we may pronounce her en elegant pianist. Such musical taste and knowledge as we possess tells us that she plays readily and brill:101y. The fact that she Wtl.9 carefully educated fur a teacher of music in the best schools of Germany, and has taught successfully in dif ferent parts of Europe as wall as this coun try, convince us that she has a thorough knowledge of music, together with the ne cessary talent of clearly imparting it to others. We believe there is ample material in our town fur a large class of music, and so unexceptionable a teacher as Madame ilegman should be liberally supported. LADIES Fata.—The annexed card will ex plain that the ladies are about extending aid aial comfort to the Columbia Fire Com pany, and ask a general contribution on the part of the ladies of the town towards a Fair, to be held in Old Fellows' Hall, com mencing June 13th. We notice elsewhere the efforts on the part of the Company to obtain subscriptions to a fund fur the pur chase of a new Engine. The proceeds of the proposed fair will be applied to the same purpose. We ask fur the ladies engaged in this liberal project, generous assistance on the part of the public, bath now and at the time of holding the Fair.

A Boy Daoworzo.—Oa last Munduy a son of John Burke, of this borough. a lad of seven or eight years of age, fell from a raft into the river, opposite F. S. Bletz's lumber yard, and was drowned. The child was playing in company with two other boys about his own age, who were unable to give him any assistance. Tho body was re covered on Thursday afternoon, as it floated through the chute. An inquest was held by D.tries E. Bruner, Esq., and a vordiut of "ac. eidental drowning" returned by the jury. PROSPECT 0 PA ''BIG RIVER."—The contin ued rain of tills week is beginning to make itself felt in the rive. which is rapidly rising. Reports from above indicate a general flood. Fr. m the following dispatch published in the dailies it will l e seen that the western branches :we heavily swollen, and there is every reason to suppose that tho West and North branches will empty themse:es of their stock of lumber on this water. We hope that the long•delayed arrival of our I "staple" is at last at hand. A busy shore is what we wish to see next week. MOVE, Bt,ttn CrnlNTr, P.t., May 10.— There is now the heaviest flood in the Bald Eagle creek and Juniata rifer, that has oo (turret' for many years. Ball of Tyrone is under water, and the bridges over the Bald Eagle are swept away. The stages fur Bollefoate and Clearfeld had to return.— The travel on the Pennsylvania Railroad will nut be interrupted. COLUMBIA FIRE COMPANY.—We are re quested to announce that during the coming week the citizens of the borough will be waited on I)! a Committee of the members of the Columbia Fire Company, soliciting sub scriptions for the purchase of a new Engine. The oil machine—the " Old Columbia"-- lots been is use fur many years; has been repeatedly repaired and refitted, until it is no longer serviceable.. The Company which has never been slack-in its duties, no matter what the condition of its apparatus, rug:a of the citizens assistance in the purchase of a good Fire Engine, which shall enable the "buys" to be effectively active in time of danger. The government of the Company is in good bands, and any aid extended by the citizens may be regarded as a safe in vestment, The Company is alarm coeval with the town, and originally numbered on its roll those who are now the oldest citizens of Columbia. As a matter of kcal pride, if fur no betterreason, such an institution should be supported. A. good-Fire Engine with a liberal supply of Hose, in the bands of the Columbia, will be almost as effectual an insurance against loss by-fire as' a policy in a good InsuranceCompani Money.dona tedfur the proposed purchase will-lie,- not only safely bet profitably invested, and we trust the Committee will be well received and liberally encouraged and assisted by our citizens. A proper sum will probably be voted by Council for this purpose, and we hope soon to be able to congratulate the Company and our town on the possession of a first class - Fire Engine. READING AND CULD'IIIIIA RAILROAD.—On Tuesday a meeting of the Board of Direc tors of the Reading and Columbia Railroad was held at Michael's Hotel, in Lancaster to receive the report of Mr. Lyons, Chief Engineer. His plans and report were sub mitted, and proved vary favorable. We shall, if we can obtain it, publish the entire report; meantime we give the following, ab stract from the Lancaster Express.: The length of the surveyed line; through Adamstown, Ephrata, Litiz, Manheim and Columbia is 43 3-10 miles, and the estima ted coat, embracing grading, mitsuuary, we ter stations, track, and all the appurtenan ces of a first class single traok railroad, and five miles of siding track, is only $1,166, 152.85. • The grades over the south moon min which, previous to making the survey were adjudged to be of a formidable char acter, are 52 feet to the mile on the south slope, and 80 feet to the mile en the north ' slope, decending to Reading. The engineer recommends that the approach to Reading should, fur the last two miles, run along side the Lebanon Valley Railroad, so as to connect with all the roads, centering ut Readiog, where the Reading Railroad are about to construct a large and commodious depot. The road front Reading, running through the heart of Lancaster county, is a much needed improvement, and would be of in calculable benefit to the northeastern per tiim of the county. Tire saving in the cost of coal alone is an item of considerable im portance. • Coal for burning lime could he delivered at Ephrata fur $2.35 per ton, and coal for domestic use at 3.25. The price of the latter averages at present from ti .15 to Live and a half dollars per ton. Every far mer owning a hundred acres of land would save sixty dollars per annum for lime ma nure. This is the interest of nearly a thous nure. This is the interest of nearly it thous and dollars. The revenue of the rood is hasod upon the receipts of the Lebanon Valloy Railroad for the year 1850, which Hotted 1.:.,2,100 per mile, No person can doubt that r.ulroxl through the populous County of Lancaster would do tie large a bosinei, as the Lebanon road in the second year after it has been opened, and yet the moderate receipts would pay more than eight por cent divadends on the cost of the Reading and Columbia road. We have advocated the construction of this road, from the time of its charter, and need not now say more in its favor. We propose to the "Board of Trade" as u proper object for their care and attention, this im portant project. An effort on the part of that body might secure what has always been wanted, particularly in the crse of this very road—union of nil interests and a proper show of interest on the part of our citizens. We hope that agitation may keep this enterprise before the people and urge its completion. ELECTION Or CuUNTY SUPERINTH:sTDENT.— Oa Monday, 7th inst., the School Directors of the county met at the Court House in Lancaster for the purpose of electing a Su perintendent of Common Schools in Lan caster County. The meeting was called to order by J. W. Fisher, of this place, and Hun. John Strohm was called to the chair. One hundred and eighty-six direc tors were present. Three candidates were voted fur—David Evans, of Lancaster, 11. C. Herr, of Christiana, and A. 0. Newpher, of Millersville. Mr. Evans, the present Super intendent received 142 votes, Mr. Herr 20, Mr. Sewpiter 15. Mr. Evans was declared elected. An animated and protracted contest en sued upon a motion of Dr. Atka that the salary fur the ensuing three years be as heretofore, $1,500. Tois met with much opposition, propositions to reduce the slary to $1,200, $l,OOO, &0., being made. The sum finally agreed upon was $1,250—a re duction of $250. We consider this reduction a beggarly piece of business, unnecessary and uncalled for. If we are to have competent teachers we must have a competent Superintendent, and $1,500 is surely no extravagant remu neration fur the services .of a scholar. TILE CONSTITUTIONAL UNION CONVENTION. --This body met at Baltimore, on IVednes day, 9th inst., and organized by electing Washington Hunt as President. The at tendance was almost general, but few States failing to be represented. Harmony and )nciliation prevailed, and distracting ques tions were not agitated. A "Business Com mittee" was appointed, on behalf of which, on Thursday, Hon. Jos. R. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia. presented the following re port of the result of the deliberations of the Icommittee --the "Platform" of the party: Whereas, Experience has demonstrated that platforms adopted by the partisan Con : ventions of the country have had the effect to mislead and deceive people, and at the same time to widen the political divisions of the country, by the creation and encourage ment of geographical and sectional parties; !therefore, Resolved. That it ix both the part of pa triotism and of duty to recognize no politi cal principles, other than The Comrrizertux OF THE COUNTRY, THE UNION OT THE STATER. AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS. After some discussion concerning the manner of voting, the convention proceeded to ballot fur Presid mr. Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, and Gen. Houston, of Teins, were the prominent candidates. On the first ballot the former had 63/ and the latter 57 votes. On the second ballot Bell received 139 votes, 128 being the number required to nominate. By a subsequent vote John Bell was declared the unanimous choice of the convention, amidst great enthusiasm. At the afternoon session (Thursday) Ed. ward Everett was nominated for Vice Presi dent, by acclamation. Speeches were made endorsing the nominations, niter which the Convention aljourned sine die.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRADE.-A stated meeting of the Directors of the Colum bia Board of Trade was held on Friday eve ning, May 4th, 1880. Members present, Messrs. Hershey, Bogle, Hess, Rambo, H. F. Bruner, Mitchell 'and Posey. Minutes of last meeting were read and approved.— The Committee for the month of April re ported: That correspondence had been opened with various parties abroad, with a view to invite foreign capital, to Columbia, as a favorable li:endon for manufacturing and other business. (The mtevrers received were laid before the Board.) That no definite action had been taken in regard to a public libraby, bat the Com mittee recommends the project to the fusera hie consideration of the Board. That an improvement of the throoghfare leading to and from the Columbia Bridge is desirable, and would be conducive to the mercantile and other interests of the town. The ComMittee recommends action on the part of the Board to secure favorable con sideration of the claim of Columbia as a site fur the Notional Foundry. The Committee urges unceasing efforts on the part of all members of the Associa tion fur the advancement of the interest of the town, &c. The report ‘S' s read and ordered to be publi,hed in the *Spy. Mr. Bogle urged the propriety of taking steps to induce the erection of n Passenger Depot by the Penna. Railroad, in our town. Messrs. E. llershey, A. F. Bruner, and Hiram Wilson were apprtin ted the Committee for the month of may. A number of persona were proposed for membership and admitted. Oa motion adjourned. Cu.is. J. Poser, Secretary. CamtLEs Lana —Any new glimpse of Charles Lamb to always p:raoant. A true hearted admirer of his, Dr. J. W. Alexan der, thus describes a pilgrimage to the India [louse in August, 1851, in his -Forty Years' Correspondence," just publishing by C. Scribner: "I inquired of the doorkeeper about Charles Lamb. he said, •I have been here since I was sixteen years old, but I never heard of any Mr. Lamb.' fhe door keeper of the museum remembered him well. 'Oh, yes, Sir; he was a very little man, with such small legs and worn knee.breeehes.'— tie directed me to a private stair which would take me to the Accountant's Office.— I went into a plaoe below like a bank, and was shown to a principal pars its. It was the room in which Loanb wrote for many years. Mr. W. showed me hie window and where his desk was. I look out at the high blank wall, not five feet beyond,: nd under stand Lamb's 'lndia House.' Mr. W.showed me a quarto volume of 'lnterest 'fables,' with remarks like these, in Lamb's fine round hand on the fly-leaf: 'A book of much interest.—Bd. review. "A work in which the interest never flags.—Quar. Review.'— 'We may say of this volume that the inter est increases from beginning to end.— Monthly Review.' Mr. W. knew Lamb well, 'lie was a small man—smaller than you— and always wore shorts and black gaiters.'" Poor Elia! what would he have said if he had known that the memory of his "con tinuations" alone survived to distinguish him from his fellows? But in the process of the ages the very India house itself is now shortly to be sold, and will probably be re• placed by a railroad station. In the general clearance of the Company, it is said £.i,000 has been realized by the sale, at so much per ton, to the pa?er mills of the duplicate archives alone, so circumlocutory were all the proaesses of business in this princely corporation. In this mass doubtlessly was included whnt Lamb emphatically called his "true works." G /Ina INVENTION--IMPORTANT TO CHURCH GOERS.—In the City hail Park, yesterday morning, an inventive genius had on exhi bition a contrivance fur the benefit of those !tar* hearing which attracted the atten tion the ever-curious crowd. The instru ment was nothing less than a great reser voir fur the collection of sound, .cannected with a series of distributing pipes fur con veying to many different ears at once. It is designed fot use in churches, ono of which, in this city, has adopted it. The funnel shaped vessel is placed before the pulpit, and catches the words ns fast as they drop from the speaker's lips. From the bottom of the funnel pipes are laid beneath the floor to the various parts of the house occupied by those whose bearing is defective ; and these terminate in ear-pieces attached to the side of the pew. The inventor did not ex plain whether those, extremities are furnish ed, like gis burners, with stop-cocks to ena ble the hearer to "turn off' the sermon when the odar of any part thereof became objec tionable. It is to be presumed, however, that such an arrangement is furnished, so ' that the am met of spiritual light which each auditor requires may be easily regula ted by himielf. 0. course, in this event, a verbetnetor should be provided for each pew, that no man may be called upon to pay fur more preaching than he actotally cat su:nes. From this nevi invention a light seems to be drawn upon the progress of church conveniences. For many who now stay away from church, because they are too lazy to go, or too poor to afford fitting apparel, can have gospel "brought to their own door." In fact, the adoption of the new contrivance would save everybody the necessity of leaving home to hear the ser mon. The laying of the "mains'! from the vari ous churches through the principal streets, would furnish all an opportunity to intro duce preaching into their h.suses as Con tenidntry es they tow introduce 'Water Or gas, doing away, perhaps, in some instances, with the necessity of the latter element al together. Nut least among those benefitted by the adoption of this plan would be the clergyman himself, mire could preach the churCh reservoir full, at his convenience through the week, and hoist the -gate at the proper time on Sunday. Nor should so use ful an invention be cohfined to the use of churches alone. Great reservoirs might be made throughout the city, replenished by conduits from ward-rooms, Corner-groceries, and other centres of discussion, and having pipes leading to ear pieces in the Common Council chamber: Had this plan been in operation during the late two months of mud, the complaining cries that went up from the -whole city, centering in the Coun cil chamber, would have made a din that the city fathers must have silenced by granting the clamorous petition for cleaner streets, before they could have proceeded with their own snug counsels of personal plunder.— That the denizens of the City Hall, when once this invitation is brought to their no tice, will speedily adopt it, no one can boubt who has observed the facilities they extend to the modern political craft of pipe layers, whose experience in Ehe art of tabular inter ments would enable them quickly to com plete the work.—N. Y. Times. A PERSECUTED PRIEST.-A capital story is told by the anther of an article in the Civilta Cant:dice, which, even were it not told on such respectable authority, bears its truth on the-face of it. As very frequently happens, a poor bottegaio, or shopkeeper, be ing hard-driven by his creditors, went to his priest, an uouto apostolic°, and prayed him earnestly to give him three numbers to play in the lottery. "Bat how, under heaven," said the inno cent priest, "has it ever got into your head that I can know the three numbers which are to issue in the lottery. "Eh! padre mio, what will it cost you?" was the answer. "Just look at me and my wretched family; ifwe do not pay our rent un Saturday, out we go into the street.— There is nothing left but the ,lottery, and you can give us the three numbers that will set all ; "Oh, there you are again! lam ready to do all I can to assist you, but this matter of the lottery is impossible; and I must say that your folly in sappoeing, I can give you the three lucky numbers dons little credit to our brains," "Oh, no, no! eo not say so, padre mio.— Give me a lento. It will be like rain in May, or cheese on maccaroni. On my word of honor. I'll keep it secret. Via! You, so good end charitable, cannot refuse me the three numbers. Pray content me this once." "Caro mio! I will give you a rule for always being content; Avoid Sin, think Often of Death, and behave so as to deserve Paradise—and so—" "Badta! basla! padre inlet That's enough- Thanks! thanks! God will reward you." And, making a profound reverence, off the bottegain rushes to his house. There he takes down the "Libro del Sogni," calls into consultation his wife and children, and, after a long and earnest discussion and study the three numbers corresponding to the terms Sin, Dmth and Paradise, are settled upon and away goes our friend to play tkern in the lottery. Will you believe it? the three numbers are drawn—and the joy of the poor bettegaio and his family may well be imagined. But what you will not imag ine the persecution of the poor priest which followed. The secret was all over town the next day, and he was beset by scores of ap plicants for numbers, Vainly he protested and declared that ho knew nothing and that the man's playing the right numbers was all chance. Every word he spoke turn ed to numbers. and off ran his hearers to play them. lie was like the girl in the fairy story, who dropped pearls every time she spoke. The worst of the imbroglio was that in an hour the good priest had uttered words equivalent to all the ninety numbers of the lottery, and the players were all at loggerheads with each other. Nor did the persecution cease for weeks, nor until those who had played the numbers corresponding to his words found themselves, as the Ital ians say, with only flies in their hands. Ilouxop.sTar.—Among the inventions and improvements with which the day is so rife, that made by Prof. II umrnaers is not among the least. With all the superiority of the Homeopathic System of Medicine over that of the old school in its freedom from danger and the ease and pleasantness with which its medicines may be taken or given to children, it still remained an intricate sys tem for the people to use. From the fact that a single medicine is given at a dose, and each applicable to only certain symp toms, a large number of medicines and a large book of directions becatne necessary in order to their use. And what is worse, these directions aro of the most nice and discriminating character, so that often the longer one looked and studied, the more puzzled ho became, nor could any amount of learned lumber, in the way of Domestic Manuals, explain the matter. At this precise point the discovery of Prof. Hu)(Pillars -comes in. He ascertained, from repeated experiments, what had been before denied, that certain medicines in this system might be harmoniously combined in a single remedy which possessed, in good part, the advantages of each of its ingredi ants, and upon this principle forms a series of Spe.:ific Remedies fur each of the snore )m mon diseases or ailments. With these all uncertainty and em barrasstnent in giving the remedies is avoided, and they may be properly administered by any person of ordinary intelligence. His improvement is certainly valuable, and one which throws the benefits of this beautiful and efficient system into the hands of the people, and must prove a blessing to thousands. His Specifics are spoken of in high terms by those who use them, and we can readily conceive must prove a valuable addition to the com forts of a family. Cohuittia Lumber Market, Vane!
