seems too enormous a number to be correct,
it would perhaps be difficult to over-estimate I
the number of these animals. Six hundrel

AsimAt. Fut:in.—The health of a laborer
in one of the rural districts having some
what declined, he called in a medical man,
who at once put him on low diet. After a
few visits the doctor found his patient so far
improved as to warrant his taking some
thing more substantial, and he accordingly
ordered him a little animal food once or
twice a day. The wife said nothing; but
no sooner had the doctor departed, than she
bolted out of the house and shouted to n
neighbor, "What do you think they've
ordered for our John to eat now ? Animal
food:" "A very good thing, too," replied
the neighbor. In,a passion the former ex
claimed, "Why, you're as bad as them.—
now is it likely our John can eat hay, and
straw, and such like stuff? Besides, lie has
no teeth."

BURCLARV—On last Monday night the
residence of Mr. Ceo. Ehrisumn, adjoining
the 4•py Office, was entered by one or more
mauranders, and pillaged of a variety of
articles. The housebreakers had entered
through front cellar-way, and from the
cell.tr ascend:A to the dining room. here
they found Mr. Ehrisman's coat, waistcoat,
boots, hat, &c., where he had left them open
retiring, end these they appropriated. They
alsoiook from the dining room some ten or
a dozen likenesses of the family and friends,
many of which cannot be reline A. They
visited the pantry and liberally helped
themselves to eatables. The thieves lighted
themselves with a tallow candle, and from
the dropping of grease appear tohave pretty
thorougly examined the house. Mr. Ehris
man laments the loss of the likenesses, and
will pay a liberal reward for their recovery.
He requests us to say in his behalf that he
shall be happy to have his night visitors
call again; another time he will be better
prepared to receive them with warm hospi
tality.
We learn that last week n number of
houses were entered by these pilferers.—
Clothing was stolen from the Bellevue and
Green Tree Hotels, and the residence of Dr.
Ilottenstine, on Front street was entered by
one of the gentry, who was fortunately over
heard by the Doctor and put to flight before
he succeeded in committing any depreda
tions. Our citizens should be on the watch
and give these prowlers a warm welcome.
1 RAILROAD MEETING AT MANIIEIM.—The
Directors of the Reading and Columbia
Railroad met on Tuesday at Manheim. It
was hoped that on this occasion the required
I sum of two hundred thousand dollars would
have Leen reported as subscribed, and every
1 preliminary to building the road completed.
The New York parties were present ready
1 to pledge themselves for four hundred thous
i and dollars, and only asked to be assured
lof the furnishing of the required contingent
by the people along the line to close at once
the contract fur building the road. Owing
1 to the all absorbing interest of politics but
I little in the way of additional subscription
i had been accomplished since the meeting at
Ephrata, and a considerable balance still
remains to be 'secured. The Directors
ordered the immediate survey and perm- I
vent location of the route. When this is!
lune, if deemed advisable the Contractors
are willing to commence at once on whit'
subscription has been made, and will take!
! their quota of stuck whenever the balance
is made up. Between the October and
November elections a meeting will be held
here fur the purpose of obtaining additional
subscriptions and a determined effort will
be made to awake the people to their inter
ests. It is but fair that they should know
that they have n spirited competition north
and cast to contend with. Mount Joy and
Marietta want the road; Lancaster wants
the road, and there are oven those who
design carrying it still farther cast. Colum
bia must tight all these outside infiuences,
and to do so successfully she must appear
with a liberal subscription. There is no
inagnifying, the importance of this road to
our town. On it depends its future rise or
fall. With it we may in a few years rank
i among the most prosperous manufacturing
Itowns of the State; without it we shall stand
stock still, or, worse yet, fall behind in the
march of progress. Columbia can do better,
much better, than she has already done in
the way of subscription, and we believe she
will do so when it comes down to the
dilemma of road or no road. We hope we
shall have not only one but half a dozen
meetings within the next month; and we
believe they will not be without effect. As
soon after the Governor's election as possi
ble a meeting should be called, and if we
can show a good record of the proceedings,
its influence at other points along the line
will be worthy of consideration.
TRINITY CATIIOLICCIIVIMIL—LATING TEE
CORNER STONE.—OO last Sanday,the Corner
Stone of Trinity Catholic- Cherish, in , this
borough, was laid in the presence of a very
large assemblage of people.' yitsitez, in
large numbers from Lancaster, Yztr,k and the
more intmediateneighborhaod attended and
our streets were filled with strangersattrac
ted by the untsieitteeremoriy. In themarn
ing St. Joseph'S St. Peter's and St: Paul's
Beneficial Societies, of Lancaster, to the
number of two hundred and fifty, with others
from the same place, arrived in a special train
and were received by Sz. Peter's Beneficial
Society of this place. The Lancaster Soci
eties were headed by the Jackson Rifles
Brass Band, and on their arrival paraded
through several of the streets of the town
and marched .to the depot to receive the
Beneficial Society from York, which num
bered about eighty. The Societies then
marched without music to attend service at
St. Peter's Church, where Bt. Rev. John F.
Wood, Bishop of Philadelphia, officiated.
In the afternoon a procession was formed
at St. Peters church and marched to the
ground where the new church is in process
of erection, in Cherry street above Fourth.
The Societies were marshalled by Mr. D. F.
Aurand and assistants. After the marshals
came the American Flag, then the Cross-bea
rer, followed by the Sunday school children.
Next was carried the church banner, after
which marched the York Beneficial Society,
and St. Joseph's, St. Peter's and St. Paul's
Beneficial Societies, of Lancaster. The
Choir of St. Josep .'s Church, Lancaster,
followe..l, singing the "Veni Creator Spiri
tus." The Trustees of the new church
succeeded, immediately preceedi ng the
Bishop, his Deacons of Honor and assistant
priests Rer. Messrs. Keenan, Schwarze and
italic, of Lancaster, Rev. Mr. Meurer of
York, 11ev. Mr. M eC'o:.ker, of Elizabethtown,
and Rev. Dr. Balfe of Columbia, with the
attendant acolytes, bearing the censer,
incense, and h o ly water. St. Peter's Bene
ficial Society of Columbia, closed the proets-
12C111
Arrived at the church the Societies opened
ranks, and permitted the choir and clergy
first to enter the enclosure. A temporary
flooring had been laid over the joists of the
ground floor of the church, and was com
pletely filled by the crowd, which also lined
the street and neighboring windows and
fences, and at thereat a platform, decorated
with a cross, wreaths and inscriptions, was
erected for the occasion. The staging was
occupied by the Clergy, Choir, Trustees,
&c A slight alarm was created 'by the
settling of the platform soon after it was
occupied. It sank some six inches, giving
a rather unpleasant start to those engaged
in the ceremony. It passed however with
out causing a stampede.
The ceremonies opened with singing by
the choir. Rev. Mr. Meurer then addressed
the audience in German, after which the
Bishop sprinkled the walls and proceeded to
lay the corner stone with solemn ceremony,
amid the chaunting of the choir.
The stone is a handsome one of Italian
Marble, presented by Mr. Charles Howell,
of Lancaster. In it were placed the docu•
ment of the Bishop, the document of the
Trustees, with signa.tut 04, a list of the MOM
hers of St Peter's Beneficial Society of Co
lumbia, Copies of the Catholic Herald, Co.
Jumble Spy, Lancaster Democrat and Lan
caster Evening Express, end American and
German Coins. It is placed in the east
corner of the building.
After the ceremony Bishop Wood addres
sed the audience in English, explaining its
signification,the peculiar dress and symbols
of the Bishop, Sc. The address was inter-
citing and instructive and was attentively
and respectfully listened to by the large
concourse of people. At the oonelusion he
delivered his benediction in Latin.
The procession was then re-formed and
returned to St. Per Church, the choir
singing the "Te amm." The St. Joseph's
Choir is an excellent one and their singing
added materially to the effectiveness of the
ceremony.
The Societies marched from the church
to the cars at five o'clock, headc(L by the
ha nd.
The day was chilly and overcast, but the
street around the new church was a jam
of human beingq, men women and chil
dren. Had the day been a bright one the
turn out, large its it was, would have been
materially increased.
The new church promises to be an orna- :
ment to the town. The lot on which it is,
being erected has a front of I•_'0 feet on
Chet ry street and runs in depth 190 feet to
the alley. The church will occupy the East
corner, the design being to erect a parsonage
at some future time on the West corner.—
The church will be 50 feet front by 70 deep,
with a basement. The main story will be
24 feet to the ceiling and will be the entire
depth and width of the building. There
will be a steeple of forty feet from the apex
of the roof and about eighty feet from the
foundation. The church will bo substantial
ly built, of brick, with gothic windows. It
will be under roof this fall, and completed
as soon as the weather permits. Messrs.
Shuman ,t; Tipp aro the builders. Mr. Wm.
Fasig does the brick work. The building
is the design of Mr. Michael Shuman.

Of course the Wide Awakes were out in
force, and we must giie precedence to the
procession of the evening over any other of
the season. It was marshalled by Milton
Wike and Dr. S. A. Bockius, mounted.—
The West llempfteld Lincoln Wide Awakes,
with the Silver Spring Band, marched at
the head. Their equipments were black
caps and capes and torches. The Marietta
Wide Awakes succeeded, with martial mu
sic, headed by Messrs. Mehaffey, Cushman
and Hinkle, mounted marshals. They
turned out very strong and looked remarka
bly well in their drab caps and capes. The
Wrightsville delegation with the 'Wrights
ville Band followed. They were in citizens'
dress and with but few torches scattered
along the line. The procession was closed
by the Columbia Campaign Club, with the
National Band. Our Club turned out with
full ranks and made a first-rate appearance.
They have improved in their marching and
general discipline, and, witba few incorrigi
ble exceptions, kepe step fairly. The meet
ing passed off without any unpleasant inci
dents and was a credit to the party.
Tae. ELECTION.—The State Election is
upon us, and on nest Tuesday the excite
ment of the past few months will culminate;
after which a long breath, a temporary lull
of perhaps a day or two, and then fresh
fuel, renewed fury, unequalled extravagance
. of populat demonstration—and the Country
is safe. The Gubernatorial contest in our
State will this year be a close and deter
mined one. lu addition to its intrinsic im
portance, it derives additional interest from
its influence,—real or supposed—on the
coming Presidential election. au unusual
complication of party alliances has rendered
the result on this generally decided battle
ground, doubtful. The People's Party
nominated Andrew G. Curtin, and it was
expected that he would retx , ive the- entire
vote of that party, in which case his trium
phant election was a foregone conclusion.
As if to make assurance doubly sure the
harmonious Democracy split up on the
Presidential candidate, and an irresistible
conflict seemed to rage. The Democrats,
however, have not only managed to bury the
hatchet and strike hands in support of
henry D. Foster, but have convinced the
Bell-Everett party that their only chance for
the election of the Union Presidential can
didates is to vote fur Foster and defeat Cur
tin. Su we go.
When doctors differ (political doctors)
bow shall the unlearned decide. The "soothe
sayers" of each party confidently claim to
figure up the triumph of their respective
candidates by varying majorities. They
keep the books, and "speak by the book,"
and must be right—at least one side. But
we, who find it an abstruse mathematical
problem to cypher out how to make both
ends meet in our small enterprise, would
soon be inextricably involved and bemudled
among the maze of majorities and minorities
which the politician so skilfully and
unerringly (?) combines. We have not the
shadow of an opinion as to how the "result
will tura out." We have our preference and
symrathies of course, but these are fur our
private enjoyment; our subscribers have no
claim on our political opinions. We don't
include them in the dollar and fifty cent's
worth in advance. We shall not complain
when the agony is over, fur to tell truth we
are sorely tired of the fuss and trouble. In
the meantime may our citizens take matters
coolly, behave themselves at the polls, and
may the best man win.
PittlCEEnt ••:<:5 OF COV:WIL.--Cotratm.t,
Sept.. 29, MO.—Council met: 31cmhers
present, Messrs. Bruner, Breneman,
McChesney, Pfahler and Fraley, Pros.

SURTITE OR PERISH.—TILE SCIENCES or
Tarn AND DEATH !—We observe that a ma
chine for casting bullets, capable of turning
out one hundred and sixty rifle balls, per
minute, has been started at Washington.—
Twice as much attention is paid to the
science of killing as to that of curing. Moro
than Live hundred instruments of wholesale
destruction have been patented within the
last twenty years, and only two great earn-
tives, Holloway's Pills and Ointment, have
been introduced within that time. It would
seem, however, that these medicines pretty
fairly balance the account between the heal
ing art and the science of destruction. The
probability is, that they save a much greater
number of lives than patent rifles, pistols
and cannon destroy; and as their consump
tion is increasing in almost geometrical
ratio in this country, the odds in their favor
are augmenting every year. The late Cali
fornia papers.represent these remedies as
accomplishing the most extraordinary cures
in that State, and especially in the placers,
wet and dry. That most tenacious of inter
nal diseases, dysentery, is said to have lost
all Its terrors in the eyes of the miners,
since the introduction of the Pill; and the
virulent eruptions and ulcerous disorders,
contracted by working in excavations half
filled with water, under a hot sun, aro so
rapidly reduced by the application of the
Ointment, that the diggers are less careful
than they ought to be to avoid exposure.—
Bilious remittents, and intermittent fevers,
have heretofore been terrible scourges in the
valley of the Sacramento, and in the neigh
borhood of all the water-courses where the
presence of gold has attracted a population;
but now, the papers say that these disorders
appear to be dying out under the renovat
ing and purifying operation of the former
preparation. This is better news than the
intelligence of new gold discoveries.—roas

."That's a new article fur beautifying
the complexion," said Mr. Bibb, holding up
a small bottle fur Mrs. Partington to look
at. She looked up from toeing out a woolen
sock fur Ike, and took the bottle in her hand.
"Is it, indeed?" said She; "well they may
get up over so many rostrums for beautify
ing the complexion, but depend upon it, the
less people have to do with bottles for it the
better. My neighbor, Mrs. Blotch, has
been using a bottle a good many years for
her complexion, and her nose looks like a
rupture of Mount Vociferous, with the
burning lather running all over contageous
territory." Mr. Bibb informed her, with a
smile, that it was a cosmetic for the outside,
and not to be taken internally, whereupon
she subsided into the toe of Ike's stocking,
but murmured something about the danger
of its "leaking in" neverless. Ike, mean
while. was rigging a martingale fur Lion's
tail, securing the waggish member to his
collar, and making him appear as if scud
ding before the wind.
ATROCIOVS.—"Betsy, my dear," said Mr.
Stubbs, giving his wife a pair of damaged
unmentionables, "have thegoodness to mend
these trousers; it will be as good as going to
the play to-night." Mrs. Stubbs took her
needle, but confessed she couldn't see the
point. "How so?" said she. "Why, my

FINERALS ItR Baszcz.—Sinsaclar Custom.
—When a person dies in Rio the front en ,
trance of the house is closed—the only oc
casion when such a" thing happen*. The
law requires-the body to be 'marled in twenty
four hours. If the deceased was ram - ried
a festoon of black cloth and gold - is hung
over the street door; for unmarried, lilac
and black; fur children, white, or blue, or
gold. Coffins for the married are also black,
but for young persons they are red, scarlet,
or blue. Few persons are actually buried
in the-shallow coffins of the country, their
principal use being to convey the corpse to
the cemetery, and then, like the hearse, they
are returned to the undertaker. Fond of
dress while living, the Brazilians are buried
in their best, and, punctilious to the last
degree, they enforce etiquette after death.
Children under ten or eleven are set out as
friars, nuns, saints, and angels. A boy as
Sc. John has a pen in one hand and a book
in the other. As St. Joseph, the pen is re
placed by a staff crowned with flowers. Of
higher types, Michael, the Archangel, is a
fashionable one. Girls are made to repre
sent madoithas and other popular characters
Formerly it was the custom in Rio, and
still is so in the interior, to carry young
corpses upright in procession through the
streets, when, but for the closed eyes, a
stranger could hardly believe the figure
before him, with painted cheeks, hair blow
ing in the wind, in silk stockings and shoes,
and his raiment sparkling with jewels,
grasping a palm branch in one hand, and
resting the other quite naturally en some
artificial support, could be a dead child.—
Large sums are occasionally expended in
dresses and jewels for the dead. Mourning
is a long affair, and widows never lay aside
their weeds unless they marry; yet clusters
of a small purple flowers are known as
"widow's tears." They bloom but once a
year, and soon dry up.
A GOOD STORY SPOILED.-A cynical indi
vidual on reaching a patb.etie story in one of
the papers lately, noted in his memorandum
book as follows:
Somebody whistled. Teacher calls up big
boy on suspicion.
Big boy comes up and hold out his hand,
sullen and savage.
Noble little boy comes manfully forward,
and says:
"I am the boy what whistled, sir," at the
same time extending his hand.
Teacher simmers down, and let's em both
off.
(Mem—Noble little boy thought teacher
wouldn't lick hire if he told the truth, but
knew big boy would lick him if he didn't.)
12E:9—Twenty years ago a farmer's barn in
the vicinity of Worcester, Mass., was struck
by lightning and burned to the ground.—
Many of the citizens had gone to the fire,
when a fop, well strapped and diekied, with
his cap on ono side of his head, met the
celebrated Dr. G—n, and accosted him in
this wise: "Can you—nh, tell me, &oaf],
how fah they have succeeded in extinguish
ing the conflagration of the—ah, unfortu
nateyeotrian's barn ?" The doctor eyed the
individual attentively, dropped his head for
a moment, and then slipped his thumb and
finger into his vest pocket, took out a couple
of pills, and handed them to him, saying:
"Take these, sir, and go to bed, and if you
do not feel better in the morning, call at my
office."
