SCARCITY OF HOUSES Fon RENT.—
Among the renters of houses in this place
at present, exist it splendid time. Houses
for rent are scarce, and those who have
*them to rent demand such extravagant
priees that the renter is, to use a vulgar
phrase, " completely. squelched." Every
one who owns an extra house is anxious to
sell and will not, on any account, rent.—
Real estate has been bringing such high
prices that those who have the good luck
to own any have the selling fever instead
of desiring to rent. houses that were
Purchased several years ago are now being
sold and bringing double the price paid
for theta. There is, at least forty houses
for sale in Columbia, and we do not know
of one for rent.

THANK.sarYING DAT.—On Thursday
next, many of our patrons will, no doubt,
indulge in feasting, instead of fasting and
prayer. While we do not condemn the
feasting, we would remind all that the clay
is not set apart for that purpose, but solely
to return thanks to the Almighty for the
many blessings he has vouchsafed to us
during the past year. All should remem
ber this. It is mete that we should observe
one day in a year to return thanks to the
Disposer of all things, and we have greater
causes this year than ever before to thank
Him, since He has removed from our
midst, the terrible scourge of civil war.
While those in good circumstances are
enjoying themselves on that day, it would
be a humane and righteous act for them to
remember the soldier's widow. In our
midst we have a great many whose table
will not be very abundantly spread with
the necessaries of life. Their protectors
fell in the defence of he liberty we enjoy,
and on account of the sacrifice, they are
compelled to forego any of the luxuries of
the season and aro satisfied if they can pro
cure food enough to keep soul and body
together.
When we say, " remember the soldier's
widow," we mean for then to be not only
remembered in thoughts, but in actions.
hunt them up and see that they enjoy a
Thanksgiving Dinner that will make their
hearts glad, and you will not only receive
their blessing, but will be enabled to rest
with a clear conscience.
LADIES' AID SOCIETV.—Lt response to
nn earnest appeal from the " Women's Central
Branch" of the " Pennsylvania Freedmen's Relief
Association," a meeting of ladies of this borough Was
held in the basement of the M. E. Church on Mon
day afternoon last, when an association was formed
auxiliary to the "American Freedmen's Aid Com
mission," the object of which is to assist the suffer
ing free I people of the South. Thousands of help•
less infants and older,yet dependent children are in
temporary asylums provided by this commission
and thousands more arc scattered through the land
needing immediate assistance. Aged. decropid,
helpless and dependent women and men without
homes or support, aro thrown upon the charities of
the people. Gea. Reward and the several agents of
the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, Ac.,send to this
organization accounts of extreme destitution and
suffering which must be vastly multiplied as the
cold of winter increases. Gen. Fisk says from 20,000
to 40,0001 n his district must die of exposure and
starvation unless help is extended at once. Chaplain
French mho recently made a tonr under authority
says, after all has been done that can be by the Gov
ernment-and the various benevolent organizations,
without doubt thirty thousand :mist die of disease,
starvation and cold before March next."
A great ehristian charity and ditty is thus open to
us. Th.: society formed in this town embraces the
following as its list of officers;
President—Mrs. Col. Gosaler.

That Ditch.
EDITOR.--I notice that our Council
have arrived (not at the last ditch,) but at
that deep and muddy ditch along Front
street, above Locust, and have authorized
the Supervisor to raise the same. That
ditch has been a public nuisance for years,
it has not only boon a recepticle for mud
and filth, but has been a great inconveni
ence for those who had freight to load, and
freight and coal to unload. In making the
contemplated improvement, it will be
necessary to take into accouut the facts as
tilley exist. The sidewalks cannot be raised
—if the street is raised much above the
sidewalks, wo will have the same trouble
in receiving and discharging freight as at
present. The average grade of the side
walk from the building to the gutter is at
least six inches; if a round bottom gutter,
similar to that east of 1L Wilson's, or S. S.
Detwiler's, was made and not over two
inches deep, it would be sufficient to carry
off all firewater that ever accumulates be
tweea 'Walnut and Locust streets. The
street should be graded like all other
streets, a few inches higher than the gutter
without reference to the Railroad. At
points where the Railroad is much higher
than the street, its embankment should be
supported by a perpendicular ozone wall,
and not by the present slopes, which now
occupy nearly one halfof oar half of Front
street. By this arrangement we should
gain four or five feet along the Railroad
track, and about the same along the gutter
in width, making the street plenty wide
enough for teams to pass and otherwise as
convenient as other parts of the town.—
Those who have maintained bresk-neck
ditches across the sidewalk as drains to
their Alley's and water-spouts, will com
plain if they have to raise them; but these
cross drains should not in any case be
allowed to consist of over three bricks in
width, and one inch in depth, unless they
aro covered. The stereotyped objection
that a small glitter will endanger thewalk
of being flooded, and cellars filled in case
of heavy rain storms will be raised; but to
single glanceat the position will set that
objection tat rest. The water which runs
down Locust, is the accumulation of sonic
five squares, and sometimes does flood
the walks, and at the same time floods the
ditch, proposed to be filled up, or raised;
so that the proposed filling up will be it
preventative 01'81101 anticipated danger.
A glitter two inches deep would constant
ly be swept out and kept clean, when
a deeper one would contain filth and mud
in proportion ifs depth. Mud does not
acs initiate on level ground, but in mud
holes, and the deeper the hole the deeper

'Arno. EDITOR., Plea , ie allow ns n small
space in your most excellent paper in or
der that wo may reply to a person signing
11 imsel I "Orderly," tvho took occasion, in
your last issue,toilml fault ith and open
a tirade of abuse upon the manner in
which the Institute students walk to, and
enter the sanctuary.
We think his remarks wore entirely un
called for, and only set tbrth the writer's
ignorance of the customs of all schools—
whether they have sail• pretensions to mil
itary discipline or not, and of the actual
mummer in which the "Imitation soldiers"
are accustomed to go to church, for Are feel
persuaded that "Orderly" feels no interest
in the school, except that it may fail, or
that it mayoffer a target to his vindictive
pen.
He affirms that the "soldiers" are mar
shalled every S unday morning and march
ed to church which is not the truth, and
even if it were, no sensible person would
object to such proceeding, as better order
and more becoming iseportment can be se
cured by thrt means than by the means
"Orderly" ♦could without doubt, recom
mend, viz : coming by "squads." But the
truth of the matter is, that those „"itaita'
tion soldiers" arc required to walk to
church by "twos" in company with their
teachers—which they do in a very orderly
and becoming manner—as we have often
noticed. They enter the 'sanctuary' just
as any body of students or young men
would do. Indeed, many persons includ
ing the pastor, would. prefer that they
should come with manly hearing, or even
the !military tread which "Orderly" so
heartily detests, than that they should
come in disorder, with loos.', shambling
gait like so many cattle.
"Orderly" thinks there is no groat need
of drilling among our citizens now that
the country is at peace. Does he object to
the drill as an exercise or as part of the
institution know as Columbia Clas
sical and Military Institute ?
Perhaps he considers the manual:too sa
cred (of course ho is loyal ?) to bo used by
imitation soldiers, and that it is degrad
ing elevated things for "young folks" to
"keep step Ito the music of the union."
The greatest goner aim European(' Amer.
lea over saw were, during their school
boy days, leaders of "imitation soldiers."
We say, go ahead boys, follow the noble
examples before you, if "Orderly" does
"roll up his eyes iu holy horror."
"The country is at l'eace ;" we know it,
but how long would that peace continue
—how long could we say there is no great
need of drilling, if all posessed such a
spiteful, villifying, vindictive spirit as
"Orderly" seems to have ?
We doubt, very Punch if the student's
manner of entering the bouse of God, is
as distasteful to "Orderly" as the pres
ence of the students themselves ; for we
are certain that ho cherishes anything but
a christian spirit, or a feeling which should
characterize the humble "soldier of the
cross" toward that prosperous Institu
tion.
It would be better in future, for "Order
ly to work out hiaownsalvatien, and leave
"itnitation soldiers" to the care of their
authorized teacher% and thus oblige the
friend,' of the Institute.
For tho ".3py."

Mn EDITOIL—The Editors of th Norris
town Herald tt Republican, in their issue
of last week, speaking of the evils which
would result to Norristown, should the
Perkiomen Valley R. R. crm4ect, with the
Reading Rail Road at the mouth of the
Perkismen Creek, :instead of at .Norris
town, treated its readers with .the ;Yellow
ing valuable information:
"Da thy (i, e. the peopeof Norristown)
suppose .that a railroad pawing 'through
Norristown will be no advantage? Then
look at airy other town in the State on the
line of a great Railroad, and mark it's
course of improvement. 'Look .at Potts
town, Reading Allentown, Lebanon and
AVilliarnsport.: look at towns isolated by
railroad(?), or only reached by a `road
which ends with their limits, and compare
their condition with those places whose
whole length or breadth is traversed by
the track of un.importarit railway. Look
thus at %Vest Chester, at Doylestown, at
Hollidaysburg, or Columbia. Hit be de
sired that Norristown should ehare the fate
of these, let the new road connect at the
mouth of the Perkiomen."
For the Spy
It is evident that the writer of the above
has not of late traveled this way, or if so,
he has done A with his eyes shut. His ac
quaintance with Columbia, and its mani
fold railroad facilities is very limited. He
has endeavored to rouse the good people
of Norristown to 'meal action by present
ing our Borough in a wrong light. This
is unfair. We'have a railhead running the
whole length of our toWn, and another al
most the whole breadth of it. We have
now a number of through trains dai
ly from Philadelphia to Harrisburg,
and Pittsburgh, and at the present time
daily trains are running to New York and
Philadelphia. by way of Reading, and three
trains to Baltimore and Washington. Be
sides this, all the freight of the I'. It. R.
except the little which must of necessity
pass by way of Mount Joy, passes through
Columbia. This is the "fate" which the
people of Norristown are earnestly called
upon to encounter. Columbia feels flat
tered, and we sincerely trust that Norris
town may never be in a worse sit
uation. Yours, R.

Vol., aged 25 years.
Another victim to the slaveholder's: re
uellion. Another soldier has yielded up
his life in defence of the Government and
its laws against wicked and dastardly
rebels. Another noble, generous, moral,
intelligent and exemplary young man
gone to an early grave on account of de
signing secessionists, and hell-deserving
traitors.
His death is surely a sad bereavement to
his family and friends, by whom ho was
beloved, respected and honored.
When the hydra-headed monster—re
bellion—first raised its head in Charleston
harbor, ho was among the first to enroll
his name in the first company raised in
Columbia, and served with it through the
first three months of the war. Being of
rather a delicate frame ho did not again
re-enlist.
In July 1913 ho was drafted ; and being
too proud, too manly, too patriotic to pay
commutation or hiro a substitute, ho hon
orably presented himself at the board of
enrollment was accepted and assigned to
the liSth Regiment; :ith Corps, and was
there always found in the lino of duty.
He was highly esteemed as a soldier, and
WAS equally beloved for his manliness, his
inflexible integrity, unwavering regard
and devotion to the cause in which he has
suffered and died. He was wounded at the
battle of Spottsylvania Court House and
was carried to Frodericksburg,from thence
to the hospital at Washington. He was
afterwards removed to York where at
length he was honorably discharged the
service, and returned to his home, still
suffering frum his wound and with disease
contracted in camp, till finally, death
came and relieved him of all pain. Let us
hold him in sacred remembrance for all
the sufferings he endured for our beloved
country. "Peace to his ashes."
