Ip.rge-Tireptiiiiim of the vote -being polled before noon. A litrge vote-was out—the largest ever cast in Columbia, we behove-r-stad. tale ground was contested inch by inch, both parties being sanguine. Previous to election- day there had been the_ usual amount of "blotrng" by both sides as to- the majority in Columbia box. On Tuesday the thing began to take more definite shape, and the betting was principally on and against fifty for Curtin. The Curtin men wore confident of more— yes Sir, we'd havelat least a hundred—but they were shy of venturing their money on more than fifty. Foster's friends would not grant a majority nt all, but could by no moans be persuaded to go. their pile against .me under fifty. So we made up our mind that Curtin was goad for about the half hun dred. The. confident Curtin men &aimed both wards, but tee Democracy indignantly repelled the insinuation that the Upper Ward could vote for u.ny body but Henry D. Foster. There was little lighting daring the day, but much noise and bluster. Several indi viduals of both pasttea were spoilingfer a thrashing, which, we are sorry to and, they did not get. Altogether, however, law and order prevailed. After the clusia4 of the polls the exej;e meta increased., an' when the Upper Wald was reported its g;ying Cum tin one majority, the ,enthesiastic friends of that gentleruaa ceefidentLy clainne 1 fir hint at least e. hen droll in the f i over Ward. Time vote in the Upper Wart eventually proved a tie. The Lover Ward did not come up to the mark ;p I was at first rejnertc I as giving fifty-three for Curtin, which majority on a second count was reduced to forty-eight. p , the n . small discomfiture of the betters uu fifty.— est lubd , again risen to sixty t we, and finally settled at sixty. After the aenmincement of the borough vote the in terest centred oboes the telegraph office.— Previous to any telegraphic news, however, an express from West Ilemplield announced the banner majority for that townsh;p_r..ur. hundred and ten. News was also brought from Marietta and Bainbridge Lf inereanted majorities there, and then the unexpectedly small Foster majority of Lancaster city came ever time wires. This gave the Republicans room for a sheet and prepared them. fur the tremendous Cortia majority in Allegheny. When the latter rep nrt was received their voices went tip: and the Demseraey failing to receive aid and comfort front and Berks went itmeontinently into their holes and wen e seen no more that night. The slaughter has been terrific. and the indications at present arc that Mr. Curtin is elected Governor of Pennnmylvania by front twenty to twenty-five thousand majority. Considerable amounts of money bate changed hands in town. The Datuncrecy were either wilfelly blind or shockingly sold by pretended friends; fir they bet free ly and confidently. Northing but the re membrance of many bloody defeats at the hands of the unterrified, presented the op position from going the last button on Cur tin, and saved the Foster men from utter financial extinction. -Judging, from the spirited wagering of substance in this neigh borhood an awful sum of money most have gone down in the crash. By skilful and judicious management we came out just whole; having no in limy to risk we did'nt bet it. We hereby express our profound sympathy for all who got bitten. "A fool i and his money!"

Sm—Pleage insert these few Pokes in your paper for ;100 benefit of the School Directors of this Co:nmonwealth. These honorable gentlemen are at loss to know how to spend the public mmey.— They arc afraid that the health of the chil dren is suffering by holding two school sessions per day. One suggests one session a day with a session of gymnastic exercises; another proposes a ball as a suitable term'- , nation of the day's labors, for the benefit of the health of the children. These disinter ested gentlemen have not so much earn for the health of pour tax-paying widows. They do nut say you must not pot sit and toil from four o'clock in the morning till twelve o'clock at night, but they do say, "you must pay your taxes, and we don't care where the money comes from; if not paid the Collector must levy on year prop erty." This is what they say. Now I know of some—many—who got their living but such unceasing labor as I have men tioned, and strive to live humbly and keep themselves from becoming a public charge in the poor house. Would it not be better for fur these gentry to appropriate poor widows' property outright, and devlier them (the widows) over into the hands of the Direc tors of the Poor at once. Here the unfor tunates will be at rest, with no school Di rectors to molest them, no Tax Collector to make them afraid. "TIVE BIRDS AND I MORK. IN PARTNERSIII P." —A few days ago I visited the enclosure of a neighbor and observed numerous birds pecking the grapes and other fruits there growing. said, why do yott permit this? These birds destroy and carry away fruit that might otherwise be profitable. Why said he, "the birds and I work in partner ship." They have labored all the season in destroyire d , worms, hugs, flies, &c„ and aided in protecting not only the fruit. but whatever else has grown• in, my garden.— They have now come fur their ahem of the harvest. Let them peck away, they are much better friends than many of the boys in, town who do nothing towards raising n crop, but throw sticks and stones at my trees, .sneak inside of the gate, steal fruit and vegetables, and wantonly commit dop• relations that do me an injury, and them no benefit. My gardener has frequently de sired a gun to shout the birds, but I have never consented to that and will not allow it to be done. They are the best friends the former and gardener can lutve. They are willing to work for all they eat, and he is unwise who does not only encourage them to visit hint, but also protect them when they do. What a pity_thought we, that others do not reason as our neighbor does; and what a pity too, that the farmer and the gardener cannot be protected from the ravages of mis chievous bovs•and men.

The citizens and engines of the Borough were soon on the spot, and rendered all the assistance in their power; but there being a high north wind at the time, the flames spread with such rapidity that but little could be done to stay thei r fury, and in a very short time the barn of Joseph ...gala, barn and slaughter house of David Fisher, and barn, carriage house, and hogety of Nathan Worley, were also consumed by the devouring element.

The roof or crust of these vast vaults is, as may be imagined from the weight it sup ports, of great thickness and solidity but in certain places it is comparatively thin. It was about 1785 that the catacombs first re ceived human remains. A quanity oft ones were removed thither from the charnel house of the Innocents. During the revolution of 1788 they served. as burial places to numer ous victims, and from 1792 to 1811 large quantities of bones were deposited in them, taken from ohurches that were pulled down and from. cemeteries that were closed.— Three staircases lead into the catacombs. Great perca.utions have; of oourse, been taken to prevent any falling in of the ground, and the place is watched, nad kept in repair. Two days ago aM. Katery, one of the guardians, wishing to itavo• a. lock changed in one of the galleries, went down with a locksmith, his apprentice, and an architect. Carrying a lighted. candle, he conducted these three persons to a distance of more than a quarter of an boun's walk from the entrance. Incredible as it ap pears, the candle was unprotected by a lan tern and none of the p.irty had matches?— They had scarcely reached the spot where they were to work when a puff of air exria• guished the light. In the dark there was little hope of retracing their steps, for the turns and windings were numerous. It was more likely they would get deeper into the labyrinth_ Nevertheless, Katery, judging that from the point where they were it was impossible anybody could here them, bade his companions follow him, and sought his way out. But nftee groping for several hours in profound darkness lie felt it was a hopeless case, so he called a halt, and the four men strained their lungs in shouting for help. Hour a fter hoar passed., and no succor came, or sound replied, A,t last towards a o'clock in the morning, when they had been fur 11 hours in. this im mense subterranean graveyard, when. they were exhausted by fatigue and hunger, and tormented by the fear of being forgotten. they soddenly heard a voice inquiring what they were doing there. Some matches were thrown down to them, anti the candle .as lighted, They found they were just below the street of Iluguay Trouin. It appeared that a compositor, going to his home in that street at the still hour of 2 A. M., heard• faint cries', which seemed to come from be. nenth his feet. In the noisy daytime they would have been inaudible. Unable to ac count for the phenomenon, he hurried off to the nearest police station, whence some sergens de rile accompanied him to the spot. These men knew that the catacombs passed under that street, and it was through a draught-hole nearly opposite to the compos itor's house that they .wtro able ta commu nicate with the v.risanera. How A LADY PRE.ERTED WgDSTER'S ItEss.v To lIAy:IE.—The Taunton (Mass.) Gazette incorporates the following interesting remi niscence in a notice of the article on "The National Intellige,ncer and its Editors," in the last Atlantic Monthly: "It will be seen from this interesting nar rative that there was a time when Joseph Gales stood alone among amgressional re porters; and, to still further illustrate his position in that line, we call to mind what we once heard an intimate friend. of. Mr. Webster say we owed to him and his wife with regard to the celebrated reply to Mr. Bayne. Meeting tho Massachusetts Senn tor as he was going to the capitol on that morning, Mr. Gales inquired of him how long he intended to speak. About half an hour was the reply. The editor's d u ties at that time were pressing, but he ventured to take so much time from them. Mr. Web- I alter, however, directly after met Judge Story, who said that he thought the time had come to givo to the country his views on the Coastitation.. To this proposition be assented. Mr. Gales took up his pencil un aware of this new arrangement, and alike unconscious of the lapse of time under the enchantment of the orator, and consequently he wrote on until the close of his speech. "Some days passing away, and the 'proof' of the speech not appearing, Mr. Webster called on the reporter and m.ade inquiry.— 'I base the notes,' said Mr Gales, 'and they are at your service.,, as shall never find time to write them out.' This led to some remonstrance and persuasion, but the over tasked editor stood firm, Then Mrs. Gales came to his rescue by saying that she thought she could decipher her husband's short band, as she had formerly occasion ally done so. Mr. Gales doubted, seeing that it was fifteen years since she bad tried it. But site b l ild heard the speech, and as the resistleee sweep of his argument, and the gorgeous artd massive magnificence of its imagety,..wer yet amid ;in tier Mind, she pomaded in undertaking. tba di cult work. In. due diem thereafter Mae fair; manuscript came do Mr. Webster'e hands forilnal Cor rection. Ecercely a word needed to be changed, and soon a set of diamonds, cost ing a thousand• dollars, accompanied the rich thanks of the eloquent statesman.— Thus was saved• to literatura.tbe most mem orable oration of the American Senate." A PULPIT A.NECDOTE.—Some days sines we chanced to be in company with several' -divines, who were relating-numerons-amun ing anecdotes of the pulpit. Among others the following struck our fancy as one deser ving of record: "I was," said the reverend gentleman, "attending divine service in Norfolk, sev eral years ago, during:a.season of some ex citement. While the person officiating was in the midst of a most interesting discus sion, an old, lady, among : the congregation .arose, clapped her hands. and exclaimed, 'Merciful Father, if I had one moreleather in my wing of faith, I would fly off to glory!' ;The worthy gentleman thus interrupted.. immediately replieds 'Good Lord, stick it in and let her go:. she's. but a.trouble here:" That quieted the oldilady. A TEMPERANCE. ettaniterna.—Befure Judge Stroud, some time ago, a deposition was read, in which was involved the repu tation for ebriety of a citizen of another State. The deposition was carefully writ, ten by a lawyer, and gave explicit answers to the Commissioner before whom it was taken. To the queston "Does Blank drink liluor habitually?" the answer was "only at camp meetings and similar festive occasions!" Colombia-Lumber Market Panel Boards and Plank, W. Pine, $35.00 Ist Comm.
