The game is of French origin es the name tvonld indicate, and is played With S mallets, driving wooden balls of throe inches in diameter, through iron bridges on the level ground. We hope to see it become popular, as it is very good and not too violent an exercise. 11E4YY BusiNEss.—§.'ouie idea of the immense business done on the Pen nsyl ',tuna Railroad may be known from the fact, that thore was dispatched from this station, east, during the month of August ten thousand one hundred and twenty-five long freight ears, averaging twenty-one thousand lbs. of freight to the car. About the some number of ears were dispatched West, but wen., not, all loaded. The mid now worked to its full capacity. All the motive power mid cars are brought into general use. Coal, lumber and petro leum seem to be the principal freight at the present time. KU ER SEItENAUE,—TiIe "Kellen" were out on Monday evening serenading a friend who had returned safely to Cu- Jumble. They played some very fine pieces and we have no doubt it was appre ciated by those for whom it was intended. At the close they 'mere invited to the Franklin House, whore a table ladened with all the delicacies of the season, await ed them. The "KA:lifers" are growing into favor and renown every day, and is ono of the most popular institutions of our town. Long may they flourish to discourse their sweet music in our midst. SLIGHTLY BICUI . SED.—On Monday evening last, our streets resounded with the howls of some persons under the in fluence of "Lager." They wore strangers to the town, but citizens of the surround ings.

FALL FA.SIIION3.—As a subject in which our lady readers are deeply inter ested, we publish the fashion news glean ed from the September magazines : Demorest says that the broad belts, with which our ladies have .disfigured them selves during the past season, have been superseded by those more adapted to pro portion ; the huge, ungainly buckle is al so in disfaVor, and is replaced by a small, neat clasp, prettier and more convenient. Bonnets are smaller and queerer than ever, with square crows out half away,and pieced with a bit of straight cape. White tulle veileare worn.

ThiPitOVEMENT - S.—Prowinent among the improvements which have recently been made in our town, we notice the sub stantial now pavement in front of the Lamb Tavern Let the good Work of smoothing down and relaying our rough and uneven pavements go on—there is room for improvement in this respect. The alley between Locust and Walnut still re mains the same. The eillu.vium arising therefrom is by no means pleasant to the inhabitants in the vicinity, who are call ing loudly for relief. Another noticeable improvement is the tine bulk windows just put in by J. A. Meyers, the enterprising druggist of the well-known Pamily Medicine Store.' A SINGULAR CASE.--Nice Question for Decision: Israel Hostetter, of Penn township,, a short time ago purchased a horse at a government sale at Washington. After bringing the animal home, he was identified by John Hostetter, of Man heim twp., cousin of Israel Hostetter, as a. horse which bad been stolen from him about a year before. Israel claims the horse but John does not seem willing to give him up because he holds a receipt which shows that he paid for a government horse. With a view to the adjustment of the matter, the parties yesterday came to Lancaster and referred the question to Provost Martial Stevens for settlement.— That officer stated that he had no jurisdic tion in such cases, and referred the contest ants to the War Department.—DrpresBsth, inst. OPENING Or SCILOOLs.—The Colum bia Classical Ltstitute opened this week, under the most favorable auspices. The summer vacation has ended, and the du ties of most of our schools both private and public were resumed this week. Our town is highly favored, so far as pub lic and private schools are concerned—in them almost every branch ofinstruction re ceives attention, from the first rudiments to the higher studies of the classics and the sciences. Both tutors and pupils have now had their usual summer vacation,and they return to their respective duties, not only physically invigorated, but with in tellects refreshed. Those who undertake the task of instructing our children have a most arduous and responsible duty to perform. On them, in a great measure, depends the forming of the minds and shaping the dispositions, and inculcating the sentiments of the future men and wo men of the Republic—aud this is certainly one of the most delicate and sacred trusts that can be undertaken. Let us hope that teachers will feel the deep importance of the matter committed to his or her care, and that the present year wlll be a prosper ous one to the schools, and a pleasure and beneficial one to the pupils, SOLDIERS' MEETING.—A. meeting of the returned soldiers of Columbia, was held in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening last for the purpose of making ar rangements to attend the "Soldier's Din ner," in Mises' Woods, on Friday ; Sth inst. It was organized by electing J. A. Meyers, Chairman, and W. If. Grier, Sec. Capt. Eydb, late of the 45th P. V. V. was selected to take command of the proces sion, to be assisted by Lieut. Torbert of the 191st P. V. V., and Lieut. Shultz of the 2nd P. V. V. Caw. The route of the procession determined upon was to mart front the Town Hall, move down Locust to Front, up Front to Walnut, up Walnut to 4th, across 4th to Cherry, down Cherry to 3d, across 3d to Town Hall Considerable discussion was created in reference to the Lancaster Band, and was finally considered to be beyond he bounds of the meeting, us the citizens were pr o curing it and the soldiers had nothing to do with the matter, therefore to settle all dispute, on motion of Wm. L. Smedley, it was Revolved, That a vote of thanks be ten dered to the Committee on Music for so curing the Lancaster Cornet Band. Adjourned to meet on Saturday evening 9th inst., at 8 o'clock, when it is desired that all soldiers be present for the purpose of transacting important business. SUSQUEHANNA. IRON COMPANY.--In our perambulations around town a few days since wo happened to drop into the Rolling Mill belonging to the Susquehan na Iron Company of this borough. We aro always anxious to notice the improve ments and advance the interests of our town. The mills were started up again on Monday last, they having been stopped for some time, undergoing extensive re pairs. We were politely show through the establishment by the amiable and com plaisant clerk, Mr. Harry Hershey, who says they turn out seventeen tons of fin ished iron every day. It is certainly a model mill. In addition to the large and powerful engine, already in, they have just put in a. smaller one which with the machinery attached, moves "like clock work," regularly and without confusion ; but not without "noise." They have also put in a guide mill, and manufacture all sizes of round, square, fiat, oval and half oval iron. It is unquestionably one of the best arranged mills in the State, and is destined to acquire an extensive reputa tion. Few persons, even here in cue bor ough have any correct idea of its extent and capacity for turning out work of al most every description usually done in like establishments. We regard it as ono of the most important improvements in our town. Mr. Isaiah Richards is the-su perintendent, and is well qualified for the position he holds, being thoroughly book ed up in the business—indeed he has made it his study for years. Mr. J. G. Hess,the Treasurer and business manager is an old and most excellent citizen. We have always admired hint for his untiring in: dustry and perseverance in business. He is the architect of his own fortune, and richly deserves the success with which his labors have been crowned. A generous publics will remember him for his enter prise, and he will not fail to be patronized by dealers who desire to procure good material at fair figure*, SOLDIER'S, DINNER-74BAND GALA Dig, ix HEisus' Woons.—Our citizens during the past week were very active in their work for getting up a Dinner for the Soldiers. Meetings were held every night by, oth Ladies and Gentlemen,andFriday Stir inst., was set apart for the dinner. .• Early on Friday morning the Lancaster Cornet Band arrived, and at 81 A. M., the returned Soldiers formed in procession at the Town Hall, headed by the Band and marched through the principal streets, halting and dismissing at the Odd Fellows' Hall, to meet at 10 A. M. at the Reading & Columbia Depot. At the appointed time Soldiers, with their wives, daughters and " loryers," Soldier's widows and Soldier's mourners were on band. Seven passen ger cars were soon loaded, and off* they went. They soon arrived at the Woods, and were scattered around in sociable groups. The Committee of Arrangements, together with the Ladies' Committee had preceded them with the " ammunition," and when the train arrived, the tables were spread and groaned beneath the load of choice viands. The weather looked ominous, and many regrets were expressed for fear that the Heavens would open and slightly damage the proceedings, but all determined to make the best of it, and enjoy themselves while it was "yet lovely." "Keefer" soon appeared and the platform was cleared for a merry dance. Everything was in com plete order and the Soldier and his " bon nie lass" tripped it to the tune of " Lani gan's Ball." At 12 o'clock the " Dinner Call" was sounded, and the tables were soon sur rounded. At the Etrsetable none were al lowed to partake but Soldiers, with their Families,young Soldiers with their sweet hearts, Soldier's widows, and Parents and Sisters of deceased Soldiers. They num bered about three hundrod,and everything that could be placed on a table to satisfy an epicure, was spread before them. The Committee of Ladies worked faithfully, and deserve all the praise that can be be stowed upon them. That their efforts were appreciated we leave those to judge who partook of their rations. After the Soldiers were served the tables were fixed for visitors and at least seven hundred made their souls glad by feasting to their heart's content. The supply of provisions was enormous,for after feeding one thousand persons enough was left to satisfy seven hundred more. After the dinner the dance again corn menced,but only a couple of cotillions had been finished before the long dreaded rain commenced falling. The Musicians closed their boxes and the crowd sought shelter under trees. It rained for about one hour, and all were completely drenched, and saturated with rain and mud. The skirts of the Ladies were in afine condition, but we suppose they didn't view it in that manner. After the shower, brooms were procured and the phdfornt swept olf.when joy and gladness reigned supreme, and the "fantastic toe" was again re-inagura ted. By this time everything was going off swimmingly, as all were wet, the platform slippery,and everybody in the best humor. During the whole day the weather appear ed troubled,and after first shower,it would occasionally sprinkle to remind all teat it was about. About 5 P. M. the train arrived, amid a shower. Then a sight that would have been a subject for the artist, presented it self to our view. soldiers were sacking their "lovyers," Ladies were hunting their protectors and all were rushing pelt-men tor the train. They were soon aboare and on Moir journey home. Everybody was in good spirits and all were pleased with the affair. Nothing could have been conducted in a better manner and had it not have been for the elements,n happier time would never have been in ll"eises' Woods than on Friday. Tho Committee of Arrangements, (of which Col. P. Gossler was Chairman, and who labored faithfully) cannot, receive too much credit. They were untiring in their exertions to have all the arrangements complete, and they have good cause to con gratulate themselves on the success of the demonstration. EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE ON THE PENNSTIX.A.NIA. thu Erie Express. coming East this morn ing, was in the neighborhood of Duncan non, the locomotive boiler exploded with a great crash, instantly killing the engi nts3r, fireman, and a man named Bechtel, who was riding, on tho locomotive, and severely wounding . a man in the baggage car. The locomotive is a complete wreck, the machinery, by the force of the explo sion, being wrenched apart and scattered in every direction. The name of the engin eer was Theodore Dougherty, that of the fireman David Isledara, whose head was completely torn from the nose to the back of the neck. From the facts elicited before the Coro ner's Jury, this afternoon, as far as the in vestigation has gone, it appears that the explosion took place as time train was leav ing Duncannon. The train had been be hind time, and had not reached Duncan ncn until five o'clock this morning.— When at the Mifflin Station water was taken in the tank amply sufficient with which to run to Harrisburg. The explo sion took place, as we have already stated a short distance Eastof D amain non. When the conductor and brakesmen reached the wreck they found the lifeless remains of the engineer buried beneath tne ruins of the locomotive, 'while those of the fireman were thrown under the baggage cars, and those of Ed ward Bechtel had been cast into the river, from which they were promptly rescued by the passengers.—Harrisburg Telegraph 6th, inst. :E)U'L 3 .
