COAL MINES LEASE.D.—Mr. Lewis Trodenniek, formerlyofeolumbia, togeth er with two other gentleu►en,whose names we did not learn, -have leased valuable coal mines in Schuylkill Co. We are always glad to announce the well-doing of Col ombians abroad, as from -representations made to us, our friend Lewis cannot help but soon amass a large fortune. So mote it be. 5T08.31. , -.-011 Thursday evening we had one of the most powerful rain and hail storms of the season. The rain fell in tor rents filling the gutters. with water which swept away everything in its course. At the foot of Locust street, opposite Mr. Sny der:a quite a hole was washed in the - gut ter, and revers/ hundred brick carried away. SEMENADER.4.—On Monday evening last, a party of young men repaired to the residence of a disciple of 2Esculaplus, in this place, and regaled him with a few ex ceediagly- Sne pieet?„en very high-toned Instruments.

We have no doubt that our pres ent efficient Street Commissioner does his duty faithfully, yet after giving the prop erty owners due notice, ho should enforce the law. We sometimes think " Borough Ordinances" are of very little account. The pavement this side of Black's Hotel Is sinking and we believe there is a hole through it to the water-course below. On the west side of Walnut Street, above Sec ond, there is a space with only a half pave ment and every heavy rain a portion ofit is filled with dirt and clay, - which makes It very interesting to our fashionable ladies wearing " trails." At the corner of Wal nut and Second Street is another place that needs attention ; then in Second Street be tween Perry and Lawrence, we believe there is no pavement at all on the south side of the Street, but then this belongs to a member• of the Council, and of course,,— " he's exempt." Now for the comfort and safety of pedes trians,and the credit of our borough let us have our pavements repaired. We may have something morn to say Of this subject hereafter: - - - ASSAULT AND BATTERS'. —Two- in- teresting suits came off before Justice Evans on Monday last, in which the "rich Irish brogue" and "sweet German accent" were most beautifully blended. It required the combined efforts of the Justice and Constable McGinnis to maintain order during the progress of the several suits. Upon inquiry we learn the facts to be as follows : On the 4th day of July last Richard and William. Goold, Christian Hartick and wife, Frederick Fellinger and wife, and Benjamin Zink,all of whom reside at Mus selman's Furnace, coneluded that they would have a "high old time" together and accordingly went to "Mauliek's" Sa loon in Marietta, where they indulged in . the beverage to a late hour in the night.— Christian Hartick having some compunc tions of conscience concluded to give Mr. Richard &ooldsome good advice,by telling him not to stay away from his family so late at night, whereupon Mr. G.Jold knocked Mr. Hartick down, which result ed in a free fight.in which flee Ladies afore said took a prominent part. Understand ing that sovoral other suits were pending, which grew out of this "muss," the Justice advised the parties to settle the whole of them, which they finally concluded to do. The last seen of them they were drinking and getting drunk together. OUT DOOR ETIQUETTE=For the special benefit of some of our readers we publish the following rules for out-door etiquette. We never had etiquette bad; we opine there are others in our predica ment. But here are the rules : A. gentleman, meeting a lady, should al ways take the right of the walk. That means simply this: she take the walk and you-ther:ditchvor-the-kfarsii•-os r. A gentleman meeting another should al ways pass to the right—especially if tiv re is a saloon on that side, when it would be proper to ask your left hand man in to take A. drink. Drinks are a good thing on a sultry day, and are worth turning out for. Impress this important rule deeply and imperishably upon your mind. A lady, as a general rule, should not take a gentleman's arm in the streets in the day time. It looks too much as though she was fearful the gentleman would es cape from her, and also looks as if she con sidered she had in her possession a good thing and was determined to hang to it.— This rule can be dodged in this wise, how ever: A gentleman meeting or passing a lady and gentleman should pass on the side of the lady that Is if the lady looks smilingly on him and the gentleman appears as though treading on prickly pears. It's dangerous to get too near Such chaps.— But etiquette, in case you .be not afraid, would require you to pass 'on the side of the gentleman. A gentleman should never fail to salute a lady of his acquaintance when within a proper distance. A slight inclination of the head and an al most in perceptible move ment of the lips is recognition sufficient for genteel folks. Ira lady wear a veil it would be highly uncivil to recognize her—especially' if the veil be a thick ono. flu-mild be considered the height of im pudence to lift up the veil did it conceal an ugly face, Ugly faces are kept covered, unless the owner Is °enmity and vain. Women, how ever, are not vain; it would be wrong to accuse them of it, ETTERS - REBIAINING U\ CL IIdI- L in the Post Office at Columbia, Pa., Saturday, August 13, 1864. inv."iso obtain any of these letters, the applicant must call for 'advertised teeters,' give the date of this list, and pay one cent for advertising.

The Secretary the Treasury gives no tice that subscriptions will be recelved_for Coupon Treasury Notes, payable- three years from Aug. 15th, 150-1, with semi-an- nual interest at the rate of seven and three tenths per cent. per annum—principal and interest both to be paid in lawful money. These notes a ill be convertible at the op tion of the holder at maturity, into six per cent. gold bearing bonds, payable not less than five nor more than twenty years from their date, as the Government may elect. They will be issued in denominations of $5O, $lOO, $5OO, F, 1,000 au3d ss,ooo,and all sub scriptions must be for fifty dollars or some multiple of fifty dollars. The notes will be transmitted to the ow ners free of transportation charges as soon after the receipt of the original Certificates of Deposit as they cpn oe prepAred. As the notes draw interest from Aug.ls, persons making, deposits subsequent to that date must pay the interest accrued from date of note to date of deposit. Parties depositing twenty-live thousand dollars and upwards for these notes at any one time will be allowed a commission of one-quarter of one per cent., which will he paid by the Treasury DepartMent upon the receipt of a bill for the amount, certi fied to by the officer with whom the de posit was made. No deductions for com missions must be made from the deposits. SPECIAL A.DVANTAG.ES of this LOAN. It is a National SaVings Eank t otfering a higher rate of interest than any other,und the best security. Any savings bank which pays its depositors in U. S. Notes, considers that-it ispaying,in the lieikeir &Wasting medium of the country, and it cannot pay in anything better, for its own assets are either in government securities or in notes or bonds payablo in govern ment paper. It is equally convenient as a temporary or permanent investment. Tho notes can always be sold for - within a fraction of their face and accumulated interest, and aro the best security with banks as collaterals for discounts. Convertible intoa Six per cent.s-20 Gold Bond. In addition to the very liberal interest on the notes for three years, this privilege of conversion is now worth about three per cent. per annum, for the current rate for 5-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent. premium, and before the war the premium on six per cent. U. S. stocks was over twenty per cent. It will be seen that the actual profit on this loan,ut the present market rate, is not less than ten per cent. per annum. Its Exemption from State or Ain nicipal Taxation. But aside from all the advantages we have enumerated, a special Act of Con gress exempts all bonds and Treasury notes from local taxation, On the average this exemption is worth about two per cent, per annum, according to the rate of taxation in various parts of the country. It is believed that no tecurittes offer so great inducements to lenders as those is sued by the government. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties, or stock companies, or separate corninunities t only, is pledged for payment, while the whole property of the country is held to secure the discharge of all the obligations of the United States. While the government offers the moat liberal terms for its loans, it believes that • - ~.strimgest, appeal the loyalty and patriottshTurr • • o. Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits. The party deposing must en dorse upon the original certificate the do nomination of notes required,and whether they are to be issued in blank or payable to order. When so endorsed it must be left with the officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to the Treasury Depart ment. Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer of the 'United States, at Wash ington, the several Assistant Treasurers and designated Depositaries, and by the First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa. Second National Bank of Philadelphia,Pa. First National Bank of 3farietta, Pa First National Bank of Strasburg, Pa.
