running to Second street, at the Lutheran

el attention to thl4 pl.•tcc a short time aga r
hat nothity4 has been done. Citizens living
in its vicinity, complain that At certain
timris, the atmosphere is so Ibul as to com
pel them to close their• houses. The eim
greot ion in the Lutheran Church received
it full share for their nasal organs last Sun
dPy. This state of affairs should not be al
low•ed. We have an ordinance and we have
a Council whose duty it is to enforce it,but
both appear to be a dead letter. The alley
is at till times filled with filth and blood,
the latter coning from slaughter-housp4.
CAMp 3.lEETTNO.—Ditring the past
week a camp meeting was held near
IVrightswille, under the superyision of the
".4lbrights." The attendance on Sunday
Was very large, and we do not suppose
that one-eighth of the persons there as
sembled heard any of the preaching. The
woods were completely taken up with
Young. ladies and their gentleman friends.
Every log had a couple perched upon it,
Playing the agreeable. Some gentlemen
who were not afraid of appearances were
seated in their carriages,and had t I:ei r dam
sels folded in their arms as tight as though
they were wrapped in the folds of a ser
pent, and what appeared strange to us, the
ladies really loved the pressure.
It was a day used by most as a holiday,
and we venture to assert that about half
Who were there did not think of the com
mandment, "Remember the Sabbath day
and keep it holy."

.HARDWARE.—We insert to-day the
advertisement of T. Rumple .t Son, dealers
in hardware, housekeeping goods, &L•e.—
This is an old and reliable firm, who have,
by fair dealing and successful competition
with other houses, built up an immense
and constantly increasing trade. Their
stock is large, as a visit through their spa
cious rooms will convince any one. They
only ask an examination of their stock by
dealers, mechanics, blacksmiths, wagon
and carriage -makers and others to con
vince them that they can and will make it
to their advantage to deal there.
SOMETHING NEW.—Wo call attention to
the advertisement of the Duplex Elliptic or double
Spring Skirt. Though a recent invention, it has be
come very popular, and is raPidly obtaining the
preference over other kinds in use. The rotio in it
are composed each of two delicate and well-temper
ed steel springs, which are ingeniously braided to.
gether edge to edge, the lower rods heavier. and
having tt double covering. This peculiarity of con
.titruction makes this 'ltirt very strong and durable,
and also so exceedingly flexible that it readily
adapts itself to the form of the wearer, and allows of
any amount of doubling and crushing without in..
jury to its shape. These skirts are unquestionably
the lightest, most desirable, comfortable and ceo
notnical ever made. These are advantages which
ladies, who bare experienced Ow discomfort and
inconvenience of single springs, mill duly appreci
ate. Haldeman's have them fur sale.
ROWDYISM,--W t hither are we drifting?
is a question that may well be asked. Dur
ing the past few evenings our borough has
resounded with the shouts and hideous
lowling,s of men under the influence of
'iquor.
On Monday evening no less than seven
fights occurred on Locust Street, between
Second and Fourth. The disturbance com
menced in a saloon In front of the Town
f[ail. At that place a general row took
place, and then all scattered, and fighting
went off along Locust. Ono party adjourn
ed to the lot in rear of the M. E. Church,
and settled a point in dispute. Officers]
MeGinniss and Hook appeared and put a
stop to the proeec.lings.
On Tuesday evening,another party were
feeling very good, and entered. Wagner's
lintel, when one of them raised a chair and
struck an old man-72 years of age—over
the head. For this act the Landlord put
them out in the street, whet; they com
menced sending a showoff: of stones against
his building. Ile c:ftnioned them to desist
or he Niroultjtshoot, tan they heeded him
not. lie the f t fired at them three times,
but fortunately did not hitsmy person.
They were promptly arrested and spent
Wednesday in the Lock-up. in the even
ing one Wits ISClnlrglid, On :WOO n nt, of be
ing in bad health from exposure in Libby
Prison, but the other was placed under
$2OO hail for his myna ranee at court.
Nearly every night the quiet of our bor
ongh is diNturbed by riotous proceeding s
and it is high time that it be ended. What
are officers elected lbr, if they are not to es
tablish peace anti order? They should
make an example of sonic of these men,
avid learn them that they are not privilege
characters—as for as doing mischief is con
cerned. We will hereafter publish the
names of those that are engaged in such
riotous proceedings. If order cannot Le
kept it would be well enough fur our Por
ongli Council to take some action in the
matter, and employ an extra police force.
COLUMBIA CLASSICAL INSTITUTE.—
We would again call the attention of our
readers and the friends of education to the
claims of the Columbia. Classical Institute,
Although the times were most unfavor
able for establishing literary institutions,
still the success which has attended this
effort, has been most gratifying to all in
terested.
The foundation has been well laid the
past year, and it is now prepared to take
and maintain a high position as an insti
tution of learning. •
Much praise is not only duo to the Prin
cipal for the ability and zeal with which
he has conducted the enterprise, but also
to our citizens fur Mei.. hearty co-opera
tion and support. But while much has al
ready been accomplished, and the Institu
tion no longer a tnere experiment, still its
future success and permanent usefulness
depend upon continued care, effort, sup
port and co-operation.
The intellectrati and mural advantages
and influences which such an institution
afrords,conimoid it to every friend of edu
cation, intelligence and refinement. Its
object is to dispel ignorance, to increase
knowledge and develop and enlarge the
mind,and surely such objects should corn- j
'nand the interest and support of all.
But aside from this, the mere pecuniary
advantage theta first-class boarding school
would be to Columbia is worthy of note.—
It would bring annually into the place
several thousand dollars so that there is
not a merchant, a grocer, or any business
man who is not directly or indirectly pe
cuniarily interested in its success. And
those who wish to give their children n
liberal education, can do so under their
own eye, at a saving of three-fourths the
expense neccesury to send them from
home to enjoy like privileges.
From the advertisement in another
column, it will be seen that the Institute
is a boarding school for Boys, and a dny
school for both sexes. Young men are pre
pared for college, business or tetichipg,and
young ladies may perfect themselyes in all
the solid and ornamental branches usually
taught in the best Seminaries.
o understand that Mr. Alexander has
secured the services of a thoroughly com
petent Male Assistant, who is to give his
whole time to the school, and those inter,
ested in music will be glad to learn that
they are still to enjoy the instructions of
Miss Wallace, their former highly accom
plished teacher. The next term begins on
the 7th of September.
M.ACIIINES.—Every family
and evorysewing woman should have a
sewing machine. We offer one of Grover
St Baker's, or an Empire, for sale at a bar
gain. They are both first class mach:l'llo3.
COAL.—Messrs. Brauer & Moore have
just received a largo quantity of family
coal, including a lot of superior Baltimore
Company. Now is the time.to lay in your
.. ,
winter stock.
PRESBYTERIAN Pic-NlC.—The Sab
bath School of the Presbyterian Church,
superintended by ll.B.Eisiek, Esq., visit
ed lleises' 'Woods on Thursday last and
enjoyed a pleasant re-union. The heavens
were cloudy during the day, making it
very agreeable to all concerned.
The arrangements were perfect, and we
can safely assert that it was the most pleas
ant Sabbath School pie-nie in the woods
this season. Tho attendance was largo and
enjoyment among old and young reigned
supreme. The eatables were served in the
most approved style, and the party per
formed their whole duty—at the table.

SINGULAR CI RCUMSTANCE.—Mr.Geo.
Jr. Smith of this Berough,left his home on
Monday morning, 31st ult.. to visit Lan
caster, in a business capacity. He was
last seen at the barber shop in the basinent
of the Cadwell Rouse in that city, since
which time ho has not been heard of.—
Many entertain the beliefthat he has been
foully dealt with ; if so, his father offers a
Toward of two hundred dollars for the ar
rest and conviction of the perpetrators of
the crime.
He was a young man t lionestand upright
in all his dealings, and exemplary in his
character. Front early youth,he set an ex
ample worthy of imitation, and strove to
promote the happiness of his parents and
labored assiduously for their welfare.
He was at one time employed as an ac
countant in the Columbia Bank; but lat
terly was a clerk in "the Collector's Office
at the Canal Basin,both of which positions
we are told, ho filled with credit to himself
and justice to his employers.
His father, a merchant on Front Street,
is almost distracted in consequence of this
terrible visitation, and Las done every
thing in his power to ferret out the where
abouts of his son.
Any person having the slightest infor
mation relative to the matter will please

The Great Invention of the Age in
313 C CP Co Z.' ABLIEK Xl=t. rd'...
T. W. BRADLEY'S New Patent DU
PLEX ELIPTIG (or double) SPRING
SKIRT.
mins invention consists of Duplex (or
two) Eliptic Pure Refined Steel Springs,
inger iously braided tightly and firmly to
gether, edge to edge, making the toughest
most flexible, elastic and durable spring
ever used. They seldoin bend or break,
like the single springs, and consequently
preserve their perfect and beautiful shape
more than twice as long as any single
spring skirt that ever has or can be made.
Thu wonderful flexibility and great com
fort and pleasure to any lady wearing the
Duplex Elliptic skirt will be experienced
particularly in all crowded assemblies,
operas, carriages, railroad cars, church
pews, arm chairs, for promenade and
home dress, as tho skirt can be folded
Nwhen in use to occupy a small place as
easily and conviently as a silk or muslin
dress.
A lady havin g enjoyed the pleasure, com
fort and great convenience of wearing the
Duplex Elliptic Steel Spring Skirt for a
single day will never afterwards willing
ly dispense with their use. For children,
misses and young ladies they are fur su
perior to all others.
The hoops are covered with 2 ply double
twisted thread and will wear twice as long
as the Single yarn covering which is used
on all single steel hoop skirts. The three
bottom rods on etiery skirt are also double
steel, and twie&or double covered to pre
vent the covering from wearing off the
rods when dangling down stairs, stone
steps, cS c., which they are constantly sub
ject to when in use.
All are made of new and elegant Corded.
Tapes, and are the best quality in every
part, giving to the wearer the most grace
ful and perfect shape possible, and are un
questionably the lightest, most desirable,
comfortable and economical skirt over
