M., just outside the borough Ilittits, which entirely consumed the barn belonging to Konflituut and Shaeffer. The loss to the tenant, Mr. Henry K. Wolfe Is vory severe as he had in the barn about 400 bushels of wheat, Al tons of hay, a quantityofoorn in ear,a lot of harness,agri cultural Implements, three young cattle, about 90 bushels feed,also fodder andstraw statics, tobaeoo sheds together with his to bacco crop of about nine acres,allof which were consumed. Efts loss alone will be npwards.of $4OOO. There was a small in swam° on the contents, and Messrs. K. dc S. had an lnsnranoo of $l3OO on the build ing. yearsbarn was seton fire by a lad about six years old, son of D. Torbert. The case of Idr. Wolfe is a bard one. Having met of late years many trying reverses, ho was by adverse circumstances trying to keep his head above rotator, and was just begin ning to see the dawn of day,when he could look around and say—l have triumphed. He should reactive the sympathies and ma terial aid of his friends everywhereand we hope ke will, as he is a whole-eouled, gen erous man, smart who never yet backed down from any obligation. Now in this the hour of his distress, let those who have shared his friendship in former times come out and aid him, and acquit yourselves like, men should do to their fellow men.— It will be an act of justice which will re dound to your credit, and for which we know will be received by an ever grateful heart, and paid back in duo time, tenfold. To rag - Pmar.ro:—Read the adver tisements in the Spy. Go-a-head mer chants advertise, and you can always buy cheaper of a man who publishes his busi ness than one who does not, for the simple reason that advertisiag increases trade ; and those who sell the most goods can sell them the cheapest All the firms whose cards appear is our paper are first-class houses antigen can rely on your purcha ses. OPER.S..—On Thursday and Friday evenings of this week, our citizens were favored with a German Opera. The per formers are from Meeklenberg, Germany. Their performance was excellent and elic ited great applause. The comic song was well received and repeated by the unani mous wish of the audience. Liberati's Troupe should receive the patronage of all lovers of music, in every place. EXCIIANGED.—From a private letter we learn that Amos Mullen, of Co. K.4sth Reg't P. V. who was taken prisoner in Tennessee, about a year ago, has been ex changed. lie arrived at Annapolis on Saturday last, and is now in Jarvis Hos pital, Baltimore. He has be an sick and is very weak ; says he can give but little ac count of his comrades who were taken prisoners with him, as he was sent to Sa vannah. He says that Joseph Hagman,B. Kauffman and Jas. Lockard have died and John Miles and Decker were sick and sent to Hospital before ho left for Savan nah in August last. . SOLDIER'S BODIES BROUGHT' HOME. —On Thursday morning last, Mr. Milton Wike brought homo the bodies of Henry Wike and Geo. W. Derrick, both, former ly belonging to Co. K. 45th Regt, P. V. V. The former was wounded in the engage ment at the Weldon It, R. on the 30th of Sept, last and was taken to the hospital where ho died in a few hours afterwards. The latter was wounded on the 30th of July last, in the engagement in front of Petersburg, was taken . to the hospital and died Aug, 3d, The bodies of both will be taken to the Odd Fellows' liall,where ser vices will be held ,at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon, and from thence proceed to the to the cemetery for interment. The rela tives and friends of the fallen heroes are respeetfuly invited to attend. VEsisoN.—The editor's humble board is sometimes graced with something good to eat. We were particularly fortunate a few evening's since, while going home to tea, thinking of the mackerel and corn bread we were to appease our appetite upon, what was our surprise to find on the table a beautiful venisqn steak! We of course threw off our hat and coat and " sailed in," without inquiry_ where it came from ; but afterwards ascertained it came from " mine host" of the Washing ton House, The manner in which Capt. Herr treats his guests, who are so fortunate to stop at his /13t0/, l:14 already won for his Irmose an enviable reputation among the travel ing public. His tables are loaded with complete varieties of the best and most palatable food, served up in the neatest style and dispensed with the most agreeable alai crity. Ile ha 4 attached to his Hotel a restau rant, where oysters cooked in every con ceivable style are served at all hours, in private roona4, for both ladle's and gentle men. We commend this estuNlshment to the patronage of the public. PURE BRANDY AND `VINES.—In these days of cheap, filthy and adultera ted substitutes for wino and brandy it is necessary for dealers and the public gen erally to know where to procure the pure article. We have no hesitancy in saying that LYON'S PURE Onto CATAWBA BRAN DY AND WINKS are pure, health/ea and of a rich flavor, peculiar only to the Catawba. Grape. We speak front "the book"—hav ing been a manufacturer of the article our self, and take great pleasure in recom mending the Lyon's Catawba Brandy as sold by the Messrs. Jacobs Co., as being the best article of its kind we know of,nnd is altogether superior to the foreign pois onous adulterations now used; as every one knows it is next to en impossibility to get a pure article of imported brandy that can be used safely in your family for med icinal purposes. But by buying Lyons' this fear will be obviated; when it is high ly reco 1111 l tended by suck men as Hiram Cox. M. D., Chemical Inspector of Ohio, A. A. Hayes, M. I). State Assayer of Mass., and other eminent physicians, Its purity cannot be doubted. It is sold wholesale by H. IL Jacobs t Co., 91 Liberty Street, N. Y. Our friend Parry at the Golden Mortar Drug Store, Columbia, also has it for sale. BUILD HoUSEs TO RENT.--The great drawback to the rapid growth of our town Is the lack of houses to live in. Persons wishing to come here are unable to do so from the inability of finding a place to live M. It is not every man who can purchase a home, and there are not enough houses offered for sale even if they could. We need a large number of small and conve nient tenements built. expressly for rent ing. No investment of capital will pay a larger percentage than this, saying noth ing about the continued advance of real estate, Houses are now renting at from 12 to 15 per cent. on their cost., and many of them are scarcely tit to live in. The fact is, those who rent are compelled to pay any price that ►say be asked, no mat ter how exorbitant. If some of our citi zens who own lots, and have the capital, would build some houses, they would as sist greatly the growth of the town, en hance the value of their property, and get a good per contemn for their money besides, equal to that of any other reliable invest ment. Columbia has always been a smart, thriving place, ; but of late it has devel oped itself in commeroe and increased in population more rapidly than other neigh boring towns. It possesses all the neces sary elements to build up a large commer cial centre ; it is situated in the midst of the finest farming land in the State; it has, by railroad and canal, direct communica tion with all the large cities in the Union for the export of all the products of the soil and the importation of manufactured goods In return. Another great element of our success is the Iron and Lumber trade, which is constantly on the increase. Pos sessidg these advantages, its growth in population and increase of trade is not to be wondered at. And now all that is wanted to still further increase the popu lation, trade and commercial interest of our town Is for our capitalists to build houses. Ofz SUBSCILITIONS.--The oil sub scription advertised in 'bur columns last week is meeting with unexpected success. Up to Thursday evening there had been over fifty thousand dollars subscribed and actually paid in. The property owned by this company is enough to form several companies with a joint capital of five mil lions of dollars. We have no doubt the whole amount will be subscribed in a few days when the books will be closed. The property consists of four valuable leases and two tracts in fee simple, on Dunkard creek, Greene county, Pa.now considered the best oil region yet discovered. FRONT AND UNION STREETS, AND THEIR PLACES OF BUM:SESS.—In OCT last We informed our readers at what places they could be accomodated with the best I and cheapest goods on Locust street, and this week will tell them about affairs on Front dr, Union. At the corner of Front dc Union you will rind Suydam. His gro ceries cannot be excelled in this borough. As it is the best policy to be on the safe side,you should have your houses Insured and you can always find Cooper, agent for the Franklin, or Zeigler, agent for the Gi rard. Bachman will plane as long us Cherry street is not extended, and Hoffer will extract teeth as long as customers Row in upon him. If you need counsel, liissick or Loop are always to be found at their post, and if you think they can't save you, why call on Hyers and have your '•phiz" taken to leave for your friends and relatives. The Golden Mortar Drugstore, wjth " Parry" at the heat:Lis doingarush ing business. You will there• be able to find everything needed to cure the ills of this life, but Shreiner cf: Spering's is the place to obtain good jewelry."

Herr, successor to I. 0. Bruner, has just opened a new stock at the corner of 3d d: Union. Give him a call. Next week we will attend to the remain der of our advertisers. A SWINDLE.—About a mouth ago we published a New York advertisement, headed " At Wholsale only" and offering to furnish watches and jewelry at very low prices ; the advertisement was signed by T. aC IL Gaughan 716 Broadway, N. Y. From developments since made we have ascertained that the whole thing is an un mitigated swindle and we therefore cau tion our readers to beware of the concern. From a New York gentleman we learn that T. k H. Gaughan are myths and that No. 716 Broadway is occupied by one of the worst class Peter runk,mook auction, gift enterprises.—Lancaster inquirer. A short time since we received the ad vertisement of T. Gaughan, Leaded " At Wholesale only! Watches and Jew elry," from one C. Fors Garcia, 81 Nassau street, New York, with instructions to in sert it for a certain amount, payment to be made upon the receipt of the paper con taining the advertisement, &c. As the con tract came,in about the same form as sim ilar ones do from that city, and the party were recommended by such men as lion. August Belmont and lion. I. T. Smith of the Mariner's Bank, we published it, and accordingly sent "marked paper" with bill enclosed to the Spanish gentleman above named, but no reply—drew on him —draft came back—wrote to Gaughan's— no reply. They are styled too. as " Man ufacturers and Importers of Jewelry, 7W Broadway, N. Y." Ono would suppose that a firm claiming to be Imanufacturers and importers of jewelry, had some honor. We wrote to }lon. A. Belmont and receiv ed a reply as follows : "Mr. Belmont bogs to Inform Mr. Ram bo that C. Perz Garcia has no authority whatever to refer to him, .tc." Using the phraseology of a distingue townsman—we began to conclude that we were " bamboozled." We believe that T. J.: 11. Gaughan and their man Garcia, are base and contempti ble swindlers and have planned to got their advertisements into the papers and pay nothing for them. IVe are not done with them yet,as we have handed the mat ter over to an eminent lawyer of New York who will attend to their case. Other newspapers who have been swin dled by the same party will please address this olilce. PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL.-111em bets present. IL. Breneman, I). Mullen, A. Bruner, Jr., C, Bronomun, If.
