DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. A very de
structive lire took place on Monday last,
about 11 A. 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

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

Row in upon him. If you need counsel,
liissick or Loop are always to be found at

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.
