GONE.—The warehouse owned by
George Bogle, Esq., on Front street, was
torn down during this week to make room
for the Columbia and Port Deposit R. It.
It was a large and substantial building
; and had been standing for sixty-three
years, and was the last one of twelve that
.stoon along said street.
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

and vestings, which they have just receiv

PANOR.A.MA.—One of the greatest
treats in the Panorama line will be exhib
ited this evening, in Odd Fellows' Hall. 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

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

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

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.

parade, in full regalia, in that city on
Tuesday. the 22nd of May next. 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. Dan Rice's circus and menagerie will
make noir grand entry into town about
10 o'clock. A. M., when sight seers Will be
on the qai vivo to see the educated Buffalo,
Elephant, Dromedary, coe. This immense
combination will be under the immediate
supervision of Col. Dan Rice, whose char
acter as a showman is well known through
out the - United States. 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.
