REBEKA.II DEGREE.—Quite a number ,nf" Ladies met according to appointment, in Odd Fellows' Hall, o.t Friday evening last,and had the "Degree of Rebekah" con ferred upon them. The ceremonies were conducted by the Officers of Susquehanna Lodge, No. SO, 1.0. of 0. F. A very pleas ant time was had, and the ladies present .socined delighted by being ini tinted into n part of the mysteries of Odd Fellowship. The next meeting will take place on Fri day evening, ISth of May next. PERSONS who are about changing their - heavy garments for fabrics better suited to the season, would do well to call on E.

It is a grand moving tableaux of Bunyan's celebrated dream—a series of sacred views, illustrating the Pilgrim's Progress, painted on 6000 feet of canvass. We can assure our readers that this is no catch penny aftair,and all who go to t he Hall to night will get the worth of their money.— persons who have not seen this wonderful painting, should avail themselves of the ;opportunity. , We believe it will be ex pibitetl on Monday night also. Admission reduced to 25 cents. Children, 15 cents. IMPOLITENESS —Recently, in Syra cuse, New York, a young man, going home from his work, met three ladies walking abreast on the side ; walk. To get past them, rudeness or the gutter was his only alternative. He chose the gutter, slipped upon a piece of ice, fell and dislot cated his arm, besides severely bruising other portions of his body. The young man will be confined to the house for weeks, and all for the want of politeness Jay the ladies he ine. Such ladies we re gret to say, are occasionally met with in Columbia aS well as in Syracuse. ABOUT PitUNING TREES.—As the peasori for pruning trees is at hand,and as very few persons are acquainted with the proper and most successful method of doing this kind of work, the following di rections from an agricultural journal may prove of service to a number of our read ers: "On some part of all branches there is a ring of raised bark, generally near the joint, and near this the limb should be pruned. The wound is easier healed when the tree has been so cut, and providing the end be covered- with grafting was, the 'work may in this manner be as advanta geously done in winter as when the sap is running freely. WHO IS TO BLAME ?—On Front Street, between Locust and Union, the Toad is very uneven, caused by the build fug of the Columbia ct Port Deposit R. R., and after a storm the holes are filled with I , • ;water. For the present, no harm will re sult, but during the heated term, if they are not filled up, the hogs will use them as resting place; and the water become stagnant, sending forth a perfume not to be relished in the nostrils of persons re siding on said street. If it is the duty of the, Company to fix up the street, let them be reminded of it in terms not to be mis understood, or if is not their duty lot our ;'Borough Dads" instruct the Supervisor to call around. DOWN OX THE " IfLYERS."—The Now York Commercial is down on the latest style of hoop skirts,called."Plyers," now worn by fashionable women. A few fkf ttlent, and we tire glad to say but very appeared upon our streets. They attract universal attention, but as they are - worn for it show, we suppose nil have a right to a sight s free of expense. The Commercial, justly, remarks as follows; The iiceirrakirts now worn by fashlonablo women are burning shame to.society,and the weepers ought tq bb indfetedbrthe civil authorities for willfully audtcnowiugly exposing theft persons. There is an extreme in everything, but' of all• the extremes, the hoop skirt surpasses, and iS one that' has its penalty,whicb the indulgers will'have to ray soldner or lster. HAW any female, with, any ki'ttck eiSPNetz•ut: sion to tnodestY, can indulgh its toe scanda l ous ex. hibition, we do not see,and what is still worse,many young girls of twelve or fourteen years of age are imitating to their destruction, those followers of fashion. NE7tr V. Tharp has openied antkiefitted the old Ellsworth Sa loon, on Front Street, abovo Walnut, and keeps the be'st 4,1 e always on draught. RELLGIOITS.—The "Bt. Rev. Bishop Vail, of Eausas, will preach in the Epis copal Church„on Wednesday evening next, the 2d of May. Services will commence at 71 o'clock, The public are invited. ClTAisloE OF lUARKET HOUR.—On and after Wednesday nest, the market will open at sun rise. This we think is a mach better plan than to have our market open at midnight as was the case lust Bummer. Wise councilors. IcE.—Mr. Samuel C. Swartz, of the Ice Company, . commenced during the week, to serve customers with pure Sus quehanna Ice. This cooling luxury is much cheaper than last year, and of the very best quality. There is also a good supply of the article on hand. INCOME RETURNS.--"W. U. Hess, Asst. fissessor,is now ready to receive the Income Returns for 1565 and application for Licenses for 186 G. All those receiving blanks and do not make their return with in ten days, will be charged 25 per cent. extra. So hurry up, ye that are lucky enough to have an income. MAT P he pump opposite George Smith's Confectionery is out of order, and should by all means be fixed.— Let the citizens in "iii 6 rieighborhoO - d IN'ho use this cool pure Water,cOntribute to have the pump repaired. The cost will be but small, and to have cool well-water during the hot weather will be refreshing. A. word to the wise, ctre. SUPPLEMENT—We publish to-day— in a supplement—the 'new Borough Charter as passed by the Legislature, and approved by tho Governor, on the 16th day of April 1860. It will no doubt lie read with interest by all our citizens, as it makes many important changes in our municipal affairs—gives the Chief Burgess more power, divides the Borough into three wards, ,Cc., &A-% HAM STORM.—A heavy gust passed over this place last Monday, accompanied by a copious fall of rain and hail, which lasted for a quarter of an hour. As a con sequence the weather hasheen quite bleak and chilly during the week. We have had some little frost, and indeed, some ice.— Fears are entertained that tho apricots and peaches have been injuraed. FOUND AT LAST.—We kart] from Mr. Jacob Grubb that the body of his son, Geo. W. Grubb, who was drowned in the Susquehanna sonic week's since, has been found. He was discovered lodged upon the breast of the darn in the vicinity of Safe Harbor, and was recognised by pho tographs. letters, &c., found upon his per son. Ho was temporarily buried in the neighborhood where he w•is found. NEW STOB.E.— Again we are pleased to announce that a new Store has been opened in Columbia. It shows plainly that the wants of our citizens are increas ing instead of diminishing. Mr. J.S.Sny der has relinquished the manufacture of Boots Shoes and embarked in the Dry Good's business. He may be 1 - U , uncl at his old stand, corner -.lf 'Front 'and Locust', with a splendid stock. See advertisement. REMOVAL OF TUE READING 4,5 Z: CO LUMBIA it. R.

Persons can make the round trip from Co lumbia to Philadelphia in one day, allow ing about three hours in the latter place. This new train will be a great convenience to our citizens, as well as the people along the line of the mad, as persons can go to Litiz, Ephrata or Reading in the morning and return the same evening., k H. C. FONDEnSmITII, not •only keeps an elegant assortment of dry goods, gro ceries, queonsware, wall, paper, &e., but fully understands the principle of adver tising, and knows full well tne advantages to be derived from it.

We be lieve Susquehanna, Lodge of this place will. turn out on the occasion. The Lodges of Lancaster will go over in a special train, together with other Lodges throughout the county. One of the finest parades eve/ witnessed in the city of Reading may be anticipated. ONE MAN BAND.—A band of music played by one man appeared in our streets on Wednesday. Every one thought the circus had really come, but to find the band played by one man, astonished every one. The person who attends to such matters (?) happened to be out oftown,but his colleague was present, and entertained the "one horse band" in front of Miller's Franklin House. This "musician" play ed the shepherd's pipes, umbels, bass drum and hurdy-gurdy, all at the same time,which made very good music. CHICQU ES ROCK.—Our enterprishag Photographer, Williams, is always on the alert for something new. He spares no pains to make his Gallery the resort of those who desire to have excellent pho tographs, and from what we can perceive, he is succeeding admirably. One day last week he embarked in a boat and rowed up the river, opposite Chicques, taking his camera with him, He then mounted a rock in the river, near the York .Co.,.side and deliberately " took a view" of the celebrated Chicgues Rock. He returned home satisfied, as the "photo" was a suc cess. Call at his Gallery on Front Street and secure one. Ho Fon THE Cutcus.--Wednesday next, will be a grand gala day in Colum bia.

They will exhibit On Case's lot, near the Rolling Mill, in:the afternoon at 2 o'clok and in the evening at 7 o'clock. ]'or further particulars read their advertisement on first page. THE ERIE MAIL.—The Pittsburgh and Erie mail train does not run through Columbia, but leaves us out in the ctild, by running around by Mount Joy. Many have been "watching and waiting" ibr another train to pass through Columbia, both East and "West. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company are ever on the alert to supply the wants of the traveling pilblic, and no doubt, but that arrangements would be made to have other trains pass this way, but it would very materially in terfere with freight trains; then the differ- elm° in time and distance is another con sideration. It would be vei y convenient to have the Erie Mail come through Coln m bia :Ind probably some aetion will be taken in the matter ere another schedule ap pears. A THEORY SPOILED.—A party or gentlemen were looking at Stedman's wild cats in Nashville a few clays ago. One of the party, Alick Norvell, held a theory,by no means original with him, that wild beasts luhrlit be controlled by the human pye, backed by what the German trans cendentalists call the "odylic force." The gentleman began his experiment: he looked one of the cats in the eyes—the cat crouched away as lkr as possible from the gleaming orbs of the philosopher; slowly the sac an neared the cage, until his face was close to the bars. The cat cowered lower and lower, but suddenly, with a spit, it launched out its paw, and with its claws nearly put out one optic and made an ugly wound upon the cheek of the experimenter. We fancy his theory of control over wild cats is spoiled, for the present at least. The scene was not down in the bills of the wild cat matinee, but it is already written down that I. 0. Bruner continues to sell cheap dry goods, boots, shoes, notions, cte,„ at his store in Front street above Locust. MASONIC lIALL.—A meeting: of the corporators of this association was held on last Saturday evening. All present ex pressed an earnest desire that the work should go forward. It was resolved to open books of subscriptions at once and Icave them at the office of A. J. Kauffman, Esq., to receive subscriptions. A committee on subscriptions was appointed. At the con clusion of the meeting- the subscription books were opened and thirty-five hundred dollars weati subscribed on the spot by the few present_ A meeting of the Stockhold ers will be held c n Saturday, May 121h,for the purpose of electing permanent officers and adopting by-laws, (ix. The want of a suitable building for concerts, it c., bus long been felt in this community. The present hall is entirely too small for our growing population, besides there being many other objections to it. It is the de termination of this Association to put up such a building as will be an ornament, and large enough to accommodate our people for all purposes. We hope our cit izens will come forward and make liberal subscriptions to the stock so as to secnre a speedy erection of the building. Shares are but $lO each and there is not one who cannot, at least, take one share. All are interested in this matter,and we hope soon to hear that the stock is all taken,. LAUER'S BREwEnx.—Probably one ' of the most extensive breweries in this country is that of Frederick Lauer, Esq., of Reading, Pa. He is a thorough, practi cal. man, and his Ale enjoys a reputation second to none on this continent. Ho visit ed, last summer, all the most extensive breweries of Europe, and is now turning the additional information be there gained, to some account. He receives a very su perior quality of hops direr,t from Europe, from which he is now brewing a XXX Ale, which is superior to any malt liquor manufactured in this country, and is in ferior to none made in the Old World.— The full capacity of his brewery is 50,000 barrels of malt liquors. A thirty-horse power engine supplies the power and 40 hands are employed in and around the es tablishment. His vaults are capable of containing 7000 barrels of ale and beer. Mr, Lauer is one of Reading's solid men and a, whole-souled, liberal gentleman.— Our friends visiting . - Reading should visit his extensive establishment, and see the modus operandi of brewing malt liquors. In the absence of Arr. I.Aug t l),is coll{l9olls . and affable accountant, Alr,l3,lAoa4a will do the honors. We return thanks to the above named gentleman for courtesies shown us during a recent visit to their beautiful city. LESLIE.—This beautiful wag azino•for May has been re'eived.
