[ro BE CON TIN LIED.] BARBERS.—Burbers are generally strap ping fellows, therefore it becomes- a slender man to handle them as Izaak Walton hand led the frogs which he u,ed to bait, "as though he loved them." The present ad vane-tag state of civilization makes them necessary. It is, therefore, highly impor tant that they should have some adequate conception of the delicate dutlei of their profession. A man's nose is generally held in high esteem by the owner. It is considered an unpardonable insult to pull one's nose.— Yet, strange as it may seem, barbers take the most unwarrantable liberties with that cherished feature. They twig it, and twi::t it, and squeeze it, as though it were a mire ordinary portion of man's organization.— When a gentleman waits upon them pro fessionally he has to submit to what w•mld be considered a:deadly insult outside of the tensorial apartment. It is possible to enjoy one's self while be ing shaved, if the barber is a man of sci ence and skill, and has that tender touch which nothing but genius can give. But few will be able to believe that a barber can so far forget the dignity of his calling as to stick his thumb into a gentleman's mouth, in order the more readily to shava a rather hollow cheek; and yet we are credibly in formed that this has been done. We have also heard that some barbers use their fin gers instead of a brush in applying the lath er. This we do not—cannot believe ! It is not generally considered agreeable for a bar ber to handle a man's face with hands which have not been washed since the last hair dressing operation; as a certain subdued smell of pomatum is too uncertain to be pleasant, Should a barber talk while shaving you? This is a question that escaped the attention uf.Bacon and Locke, and the other philoso. pliers. We are decidedly of the opinion that he should not. It requires an effort to listen; and every man goes into a barber shap with a resolve to ignore effort and cast off the cares of life. After much consider atiun of the subject, we hare also conic to the conclusion that it is a nuisance to have one's attention strongly called to some new preparation for the preservation of the hair. Barbers' boys are too excessively musical. They delight in playing the devil's tatoo on one's back, under the pretence of brushing his coat. We have frequently had Yankee Doodle and Hail Columbia played with a brush on our shoulders and down our legs, without relishing those musical productions in the least. After all, who is perfect? We all have uur failings, and barbers are fallible beings I A SCITOOL COMMITTEE MAN AsSWEIIED.— We have the following good one from an au thentic source: A sub-committee of a school board, not a thousand miles from the city of Lynn, were examining a class in a primary school. One of the committee undertook to , th.trpen up their wits by propounding the following question: "If I had a mince pie and should give two-twelfths to John, two-twelfths to Isaac, two-twelfths to Harry, and sbeuld keep half of the pie rt.. myself, what would there be left?" There wa , a profound study among the scholars, but finally one lad held up liis hand as a signal that he was ready to an- CrEfi "Well, sir, what would there be left?— Speak up loud so that all can hear," raid the committee moo. ”The plate." shouted the hopeful fellow. The committee man turned red in the face, while the other members roared aloud.— That boy was excused from answering any more questions. Ze-Ifere are some of Prentice's "last:" A lady sometimes keeps charms upon her watch-guard, but it is more important that she keep watch and guard upon her charms. A mane good fortune often turns his head; his bad fortune as often averts the heads of his friends. A Western editor ha! seen a pigeon with tbree . perfectly formed legs. It must be a stool-pigeon. In all noble enterprises the ladies are like the ehtetriotelegraph—far in advance of the males.. A lady sometimes gets as much intoxica ted at her glass as a toper does at his. A vain man Cannot well go crazy; ho if never out. of his head. .Star'Nolnnly denies the patriotism of John Bell.—Louisville Journal. We:deny it.—..V. C.

Rtunto we have always with us FATAL ACCIDENT.-011 Thursday of last week Frank Schweitzer, an employee of the Columbia Rolling Mill, was caught by a car on the Rolling Mill Railroad and jammed against a pile of rails opposite the Mill.— Ills thigh was fractured and dislocated and he was otherwise seriously injured, exter nally and internally. Ile lingered in great suffering until last Tuesday. BELL AND EXERETT.-011 Thursday even ing the friends of Bell and Everett held a meeting in Wrightsville, which. to judge from the sounds reaching this distant shore evoked considerable enthusiasm. Delega tions were present from this place and York, the latter ariving by special train with a band of music. POLITICAL MEETING IN MAIIIETTA.—On last Friday evening the friends of Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin held a meeting in Ma rietta, which was addressed by Hon. Danl. Ullman and Col, J. W. Fisher. The - Co lumbia Campaign Club in uniform paraded in the evening and attended the Marietta meeting. They went up and returned pia the Penna Canal, by special boat. The Wide Awakes were the attraction of the evening, and will doubtless inspire the Mariettians to get up a club. RAILROAD BRIDGE RCRNED.—On Thurs day afternoon the Mail Train East set fire to the bridge over the Conewago Creek on the Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad, which was entirely consumed. The Fast Line West was detained at the bridge fur several hours and finally backed to Diller vine and took the road via Columbia, with the Harrisburg Accommodation in the eve ning. The trains will all be run through Columbia until the bridge isjeplaced, and we presume the "Atlas Express" will be suspended during the time, as the Mail Train East with which it connects at Lancaster will necessarily take this route. BROWN'S PATENT LATH MACIIINE.-Our townsmen Joseph H. Black and Thos. Col lins have recently purchased from Burned & Stevens, proprietors, the right of making and selling this "Mammoth Self-Feeding In. Machine," in the State of Pennsylva nia. A pattern Machine has been tempo rarily erected in F. S. Bletz's Planing Mill, and our citizens may hare an opportunity of seeing it in operalio a This is the first intrJduction of the Machine in this section of the country. It is entirely novel in con• straction and mode of operation. The work turned out is first-rate in quality, and the lath are manufactured with unequalled ra pidity—sis: thousand an hour being the out side limit. The power required to drive it is trilling, and it can be attached with ad ' vantage to the machinery of any Planing Mill or Saw Mill. The Machines will prob• ably be manufactured in Columbia. and as the demand is likely to be general, a new and important branch will be added to our manufactures. We wish our friends every success in their enterprise. READING AND COLUMBIA rt ,trArLin.—The Directors of the Reading and Colombia railroad met at Ephrata on Thursday, 13th inst. Capitalists from New York were present who offered to build the road, in cluding grading, masonry and superstruc ture, making it ready for laying for SGOO, 090—570,003 less than the Engineer's esti mate. They also offer to take $400,000 of stock of the road in part payment, only ask ing of the people along the line of the road I to take $200,000 of stock to secure its corn ; pletion. Of this required sum $140,000 is already subscribed. The Directors will meet again at Manheim on Tuesday, Octo ber 2nd, at which time a final answer must be given to the contractors. What do our citizens say to this offer? We have been told repeatedly that it only required a determined effort upon our part, and a fair subscription, to bring out suffi- ' cient New York capital to build the road. Many have doubted this, and asked to be satisfied that such would be the case, before'! subscribing. Here is the offer, now, in no I• questionable shape. Now York offers to take two-thirds of the stock necessary to l i grade tbo road, and surely we should now be ready to do our liberal share towards se curing the remaining one-third. On our prompt action now hangs tho fate of the road. If we come forward with our sub seriptions, and with the people along the lino of the road make up the lacking $60,000 by•th4, time stipulated; nothing is rnore,cer tain than the road will be put under Waiimieediately. Once graded the road is virtually completed. No difficulty will, be experienced in ironing and stocking it. We may have the iron Morse snorting into our town via the Reading and Columbia well! look out for the locomotive when-you. hear the whistle. _ THESP.6.BB UNDER THE New Lew.—On (be Abrpir.nillixersride compliiN efore!

The Justice decided that under the' Act of March .10th 1860; the fact of defendants intruding upon the lands of Mr. , Myers without permission, the tramp ling of grass, injury to shrubbery; &c., ren here& them liable to-the.penalties - prescri bed in the 2nd Section. The carrying away of the berries constituted a misdemeanor un der the Ist Section of said Act, punishable With fine and imprisonment. The object of the prosecution hieing to present similar in !Owls the defendants were simply fined fur trespass under the 2nd-Section. They bled severally to the' amount of $6.10 without a remonstrance. The Act under which those offenders were convicted is ample protection to farmers and others against the encroach ments of the hordes of prowlers who infest our neighborhood, and if strictly enforced in all its provisions will effectually confine these ramblers to the highways. We have already published this important Act, but as a warning to evil doers give it another insertion. The first Section enacts 'net the wilful taking and carrying away of fruit, vegetables, plants, fruits or ornamental trees, vines or shrubs, in the counties of Huntingdon, Washington, Alle gheny, Berks, Lancaster, Lycoming and Delaware, whether attached to the s,:il or not, shall be deemed, and the same is here by declared a misdemeanor, and may be prosecuted as sueh, under the laws of this commonwealth, and on conviction thereof in the court of quarter sesssions of said counties, shall be tined, not exceeding fifty dollars, and imprisoned, not exceeding sixty days: such line or penalty to be appropri ated as provided in the second section of this act. • SECTION 2. That any person or persons who shall wilfully enter or break down, through or over an orchard, garden or yard fence, hot-bed or green house, or who shall wrongfully club, stone, cut, break, bark or otherwise mutilate or damage any nut, fruit or ornamental tree, shrub, bush, plant or vine, trellis, arbor, hotbed, hot or green house, or who shall wilfully trespass upon, walk over, beat down, trample, or in any wise injure, any grain, grass, vines, vege tables or other growing crop, shall and may, on conviction thereof- before any alderman or justice of the peace, or in any court of law in said counties, have judgment against him, her or them, in a sum not less than five, nor mAre than one hundred dollars, with costs of suit; one half the damage or penalty to go to the use of the informer, the other half of the damage or penalty to the occupant or owner of the premises on which the said trespass shall or may be committed: and in default of payment of said fine or judgment, with costs of suit, the party con victed may and shall be committed to the jail of said county, for not less than twenty, nor more than sixty days; said complaint or action to he in the n one of the common wealth, and time testimony of the owner or occupant of the premises shall be admitted as evidence to prove the trespass and dam age sustained: Provided, That when the owner of the premises shall become the in formant, then one-half of the penalty shall be appropriated to the school fund of the district in which the trespass was committed. Now in this connection we would affec tionately say to our dear young friends who so assiduously club and stone the large "sweet bean" tree in the yard in Second street opposite Cherry, and who are so deaf to remonstrance and command, that the sec ond Section of the shove Act provides for the punishment ofjust such trespass as they daily commit, and the first Section equally applies to the misdemeanor of carrying away the fruit, worthless as it is. They have been reasoned with and affectionately en treated long enough, and now we are deter mined to try what punishment will do.— They not only fill the yards with sticks, stones, bones, &e., but endanger the liter rf every one in the neighborhood, besides being insuffet ably impertinent. The nuisance will no longer be submitted to, and we hereby give notice that High Constable Waiter and Constable Read have been em powered to arrest and arraign before a jus tice of the Pence all boys, large or small, ! found throwing at the tree in question, or trespassing upon the yard under whatever pretest. We will be obliged to parents of children who run the streets to warn theme of our intention to have the laW enforced j against all, fur we will not interfere upon the conviction of an offender, but let the law take , its course.
