JEFF.—WO think ho has been to "see the

as bad as the fellow who mado us pay after giving
the complimentary ticket,
Vicrourt.—Your silence testifies that
you must rest under the "soft impeachment" pro

its a lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, in
;reserve, for those who find it inconvenient to tell

tisement in another column.
THE Ray - Ert.—The Susquehanna was
quite high on Saturday and Sunday last,
and was filled with floating ice. The ice
passed off moderately—no damage being
done. Much valuable timber floated
down from the branches above, during the
fore partof the week. The river is now
falling, and the steam ferry boat has been
making regular trips to, and from Wrights
ville, since Tuesday.
PRICES REDUCED.—It appears that
'the price of nearly all kinds of dry goods
are on the decline. As en evidence of this
fact, I. 0. Bruner has reduced the prices of
all the leading articles in his store. Buy
ers who wish good and cheap articles,
should now call at his new store, Front
street above Locust, and procure a stock,
as it is believed that as the season ad
vances goods will again go up.

Fellow's Hall, on Thursday and Friday
evenings next, Sth and Snli insts. The pro
ceeds will be appropriated for the purpose
, of liquidating the debt of the Church. Let
211 our citizens aid them in their laudable
enterprise.
CIIARMs."—We were
awakened the other night by the strains of
sweet music beneath our chamber win
dow and we would hero return thanks to
the unknown party for the serenade. The
last piece appeared new to us, and consid
erable effort was brought to bear upon it.
We could not say that we did not like it,
for we remember that the poet says;
"The innn
Who bath no music. in his soul
Is lit for treason, strumgein
Ana spoils."
• COLUMBIA & PORT DEPOSIT R. R.—

Henry Wolfe,of the Ist section of the above

Bogle's and Cooper Pearl's have been

We understand that the buildings belong

NEW TELEGRAPIE LINE.—The in
struments fbr the new telegraph line be
tween Columbia and Reading were put in
and messages received back and forth on
Thursday morning last. Instruments will
soon be put in at Landisville, Litiz, Eph
rata and Sinking Springs. This line is put
up for the use of the Reading and Colum
bia Railroad Company, but at the same it
will accommodate the public,and transmit
messages to all parts of the United States
and Canadas. It will be a great conveni
ence to our citizens, situated as it is in the
Centre of the business portion of Columbia.
RUNAWAYS.- - --Ou Monday last a team
belonging to W. G. Case,Esq., became un
manageable,.while under the care of the
driver, L. T. Jackson, and all his efforts
to hold them proved useless. They turned
the corner of Second. and Locust like the
wind and dashed at a furious rate down
the street, capsizing the driver in front of
Booties. and not stopping until they were
up to their breasts in the river. After cut
ting the 'harness they were taken out of the
deep and transferred to the stable. Mr.
Jackson, we understand, was injured in
ternally.
—On Tuesday,Front street was tho scene
of another sthash- up, but fortunately no
person was injured„
SAFETY BRIDLE.—Mr. - J. C. Pfahler
is- manufacturing the safety bridle and
line, , patentedby . Mr- Stehman,- of this
County.- Mr;-P. showed us" - one of their
bridles a few days ago"; and from our ob
servatiOns we think it the greatest im
provement of the kind yet brought out.—
Beauty, safety and perfect reliability are
hero blended. The arrangement is so ef
fectual, that while the action of the bit is
the same as any ordinary bridle, while the
horse g.ies quietly ; but shying or any at
tempt to run or, kick, brings into action
the safety strap so effectually, as, at once
to arrest any further attempt of the horse
to kick or run away. These bridles should
be brought into more general use, as it
would save many an accident and perhaps
FOr in . formationcec:, call on Mr. J.
C. Pfahler, Locust street, Columbia.
_ HOOP SKlRTS.—Hopkins' Hoop Skirts,
for ladies and children, aro advertised in
this issne. Call at 028 Arch Street, Phila
nelphia and examine their stock of goods.
HANDSOME CLOTIIING.—For latest
styles, best made and most handsome
clothing, go to the highly popular and
fashionable one price emporium of E.
Worrell d; Co., 819 Arch Street, Philadel

PIANOS TIINED.-011 Tuesday nest,
Mr. Jacob Knapp, a tuner of Schomacker
Piano-Forte Com pany,Will be in Columbia
to attend to the new Pianos lately sold by
them. He will also attend to any others
who may need his services. Mr. Knapp
is their best man and he will remain here
several days. Orders left nt this office will
receive prompt attention.
ARTHUR'S HOME MAGAZINE.—This
publication has always ranked as a first
class literary and fashion magazine. The
March number before us is replete with
interesting reading matter, as well as
showing the latest styles of dress braid
work, For information as to terms,
itc., address T. S. _Arthur itr Co., 323 Wal
nut street. Philadelphia. W. U. Hess has
it for sale.
SOLDIER'S CLAIMS COLLECTED WITH
OUT CECARGE.—Gen. Fisher has been au
thorized by the State Agency at Washing
ton, to forward all claims againit the
Government for collection, including back
pay, bounty and pension claims. Sol
diers availing themselves of this mode of
collection will save their money, and at
the same ti•re have their claims collected
in much shorter time then by placing
them in the hands of, perhaps irresponsi
ble persons, as the whole will be attended
to free of charge.
BUSINESS CUANGE.—It will be seen
by a reference to our advertising columns,
that Messrs. Steacy ct. Bowers have dis
solved partnership. The business will be
conducted in Columbia by J. W. Stettcy Lk.
Co. Mr. Jos. W. Bowers goes to Marietta
to carry on a branch of their Columbia
store in that place. These gentlemen will
carry on the dry good's tra.le on a much
larger scale than they have been doing
heretofore, and. we can . commend them to
the public as gentlemen of the strictest in -
tegrity. Success attend them.
SOLDIERS' UNION.—The question has
often been asked us, "why have we not a
Soldiers' Union in Columbia?" We answer
that it has been tried several times, but an
organization could not be effected. Let it
be tried again, and not permit our sister
towns to lead us in the work. There are
enough returned soldiers in this place to
organize at least two full compan'es, and
it is time they should be making an effort
to secure the rights to which they are en
titled. What says Gen. Fisher towards
making a move in the enterprise? Let
such men as Fisher, Evans, Eyde, L.
Wright, Mallen, Pfahler and Meyers take
hold of th 3 wheel an.l su333.ii will be cer
tain.
NEW CARS.—The energetic President :
together with the efficient Superintendent,
Mr. S. P. Darlington, and other officers of
the Penn'a R. R., are making every effort
to thoroughly equip their road,and also to
put it in excellent repair. Two of the
most handsome and elaborately finished
Cars have just been added to the Columbia
Train. They are new,elegantly furnished
and will add greatly to the comfort of the
traveling public. liarry Zook and the
" Tudge"—two of the best Conductors in
the world—may justly feel proud of their
train, as it is the best on the lino of the
great Pennsylvania Railroad,and we wo'd
here add that they know how to take care
of, and appreciate a good thing when they
get it
•
TEluttFre Expr,oiims AT MIDDLE
TOWN.—On Monday evening last an ex
plosion, similar to the ono that happened
at Cordelia Furnace a short time ago, oc
curred at the furnace of J.
in the borough of Middletown—resulting
in the complete destruction of the furnace,
and the death of five 111011, besides the
wounding els x other persons,one of whom
cannot live. Eight bailers—four large and
four small—were in the furnace, one of
which was raised from its bed, passed up
and through the building, and carried a
distance of five hundred yards, over a
brick dwelling mid a furnace, and lodged
in the Pennsylvania Canal. The loss of
the Messrs. Meilly,will reach if not exceed
fifty thousand dollars. They intend to re
build the works immediately, and work
men are already being employed in re
moving the remains of the old structure,
which is a total wreck, No cause is as
signed for the explosion.
SAD CASUALTY.---air. John Grubb,
employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Co., as brakeman on one of the through
express freight trains, was killed at Ches
ter Valley Station, on Sunday morning.—
He fell from the cars, and was not missed
until the train arrived at Paoli. A tele
gram was immediately sent to Downing
town and men sent each way to hunt him.
He was found near the station alluded to,
in a terribly mutilated condition. The de
ceased was a member of the 113 d Reg' t, Pa.
V. V. He enlisted three times during the
war and was the hero of many battles, and
for a time he suffered as a prisoner in the
prison yens of the South. He was a young
man just in the prime of life, and to meet
such a fate, after passing through all the
trying ordeals of the late cruel war, is in
deed hard. He was well known here, and
had many friends ; was much respected
by all. Ho was the only son of William
Grubb, formerly a resident of Columbia,
now o! Philadelphia.
THE HArß.—The hair is now worn in
more elaborate and fantastic styles than
ever. Waterfalls aro still adhered to by
some persons; but curls and coils have
mainly taken their place. In addition to
these, braids, short-curls, frizettes, and
other contrivances, are worn in profusion;
so that an investment in the fashionable
variety of false hair is no small item.
Some time ago, it was fitshionable to cut
the hair short, and very many who took
advantage of the opportunity for the sake
of strengthening their hair find themselves
obliged now to depend entirely upon the
hair-dealer, and notunfrequently wear all
at one time—,a coil, a waterfall, a bunch of
curls, a braid, and a frizette, or cluster of
short curls across the front of the head.
Flowers are not much used for orna
ments, although they are more' beautiful
and becoming than anything else. They
have given way to bands,to gold and silver
cold, to strings of beads, cOins,and
glitter
iag ornaments of every-description.
DEMOREST'S MONTHLY MAGfAZINE.—
We are indebted to W. U. Hess, booksel
ler and news agent, for the March num
ber of Mme Demorest's fashion Magazine.
The ladies have always considered this
book a great luxury as it is devoted solely
to fashions, and contains cuts, diagrams,
patterns, by which any lady can see at a
a glance how to make a dress or coat.
FIRE IN CLEARFIELD COUNTY.—The
buildings of Thomas Groom, Glen Hope,
Clearfield County, Pa., were entirely de
stroyed by fire one night last week. They
were awakened in the night and found the
house in flames, when Mr. Groom broke
open the doors of an adjoining room:where
some of the family were sleeping, and just
in time to save their lives, as immediately
afterwards the ceiling fell in. They bare
ly escaped being burned up, saving noth
ing—not even their clothes, all were con
sumed—dwelling, store and post office.—
Mr. Groom was formerly a resident of
Columbia, where he has many friends and
relatives. :No cause is assigned for the
fire.
COLUMBIA CLAssicAr, INSTITUTE.—
The spring term of this Institution com
mences on Monday the 19th of March.—
The attendance during tho past year has
been greater than over before. Every
thing appears to be in the most prosper
ous condition, and from all quarters we
hear the most favorable accounts of this
school. We begin to feel now that we
have a college of learning in our town
that is deserving the patronage of our cit
izens and the public generally. We are
glad to know that this institution is pros
pering under its able, influential and
highly popular Principal, Rev. H.S.Alex
ander, for no person better deserves suc
cess. Let us advise parents who would
wish their sons to have a thorough busi
ness eclucation,to send for circulars or call
at the Institute Rooms and consult the
Principal.
SKELETON EXULT:UP:D.—WC were sur
prised a few days ago on entering our
sanctum to find the emblems of mortality
upon our table. On inquiry, we found
they were loft by Mr. It. E. Wolfe, con
tractor of the Columbia Jr, Port Deposit R.
IL In making excavations to procure dirt
for said road, between Cherry Lt. Union
Streets, and immediately in the rear of the
residence of Col. C. S. Kauflmzui,the work
men exhumed the remains of a human
skeleton. How they come there is the
mooted question. The person was evi
dcntly buried many years ago,as the bones
arc very much dee,nnpo3ed. The upper
and lower jaw and the teeth are perfect.—
They appear to be the remains of a man of
large size. Who knows but that it may be
the bones of soma murdered victim or the
relic of some Indian Chief—probably the
Great Incahonee ? How is it Harry? But
take them away for God's sake ! our devil
wants to go home, he's afraid.
TWO CHILDREN KILLED IN YORK
COIT4TY In' TICE. EXPLOSION OF A SHELL.—
Mr. John Shenherger, living near Pros
pect, York County, nearly opposite to
Columbia, had two of his children killed
on Monday afternoon last, by the explo
sion of a shell. It was one of the shells
fired by the rebel General Early's forces
during the engagement at Wrightsville,
on the:2.Bth of June, 18.63. The shell had
been taken to the house as a relic, and it
was supposed that all the powder had
been taken out of it. The children were
playing with it, when by accident it rolled
into the tire, and soon exploded with tre
mendous force, injuring the two children,
Caroline and William, aged respectively
6 and S years, so that they died the same
evening. The of cast a deep gloom of
sorrow mid regret over the whole neigh
borhood. This is but another sad warn
ing to parents and others not to keep these
dangerous missiles exposed.
UNITED BRETHREN CONFERENCE.—
The East Pennsylvania Conference of the
United 13rethren Church, closed their
sessions in this p'ace on "Monday last. It
was a large and very interesting session
and the utmost harmony prevailed.
The Conference decided to establish a
College at Annville, Lebanon County, as
the authorities of that town have gener
ously- donated the property for that pur
pose.
A vote of thanks were tendered Bishop
Glossbrenner, for the kind and very ef
ficient manner in which he has presided
during the present session ; also a vole of
thanks to ex-Bishops Russel, Rumler and
Erb, for their tpresence, and a vote of
thanks to the brethren and friends of Co
lumbia, for the very kind and hospitable
manner in which they have entertained
the Conference during its present session.
We regret that the Rev. G. W. M. Rigor
has been assigned to another field of labor.
He is a gentleman sochtlly,andas a clergy
man he has few superiors in the confer
ence. His congregation will part with
him with feelings of deep regret. May he
be blessed with great success in his new
charge.
