Shaft weighing over 47,000 pounds.—
It is an humans° affair and shows the ca

" GOLDEN MORTAR DRUG STORE."
—We notice that, this store has greatly ha

not made a day too soon. Ever since:friend

IMPOR,TANT TO PRENITERS.—The Sec
retary of the interior has received from a
gentlemen in New Jersey, samples of
paper manuthctured from Sedge grass, a
grass which grows in great abundance,
upon all tide-water flats. The paper is
very white and clear, and 1011 undoubted
ly prove a good substitute for ordinary
writing paper made of cotton or linen rags.
It is estimated that it can be manufactured
for twenty per cent. less than any variety
now in use, and this circumstance 4lcme
renders the discovery of great importune°
to the interests of the country.

Time of Game-2k Imurs
—The game was witnessed oy a groat
number of our citizens end all were highly
pleased. The married nine labored under
the very serious disadvantage of having
three or four players who had wily taken
part in one or two games previous to' the
match, while every member of the single
nine had played in nearly every game
since the formation of the club.
The fielding was rather wild on both
sides. The only fly catches made were by
the married nine and their defeat was, tie
dou b t, °Wing ta their i zle4 aerie need players
not understanding the rules of the game,
in running the bases.
Mr. Wm Williams, Umpire, performed
his duty in a, faitlifnl and impartial man
ner and the thanks of the Club are hereby
tendered him.
We noticed a number of the ,Mount Joy
Club upon the ground taking sights for
their own benetit. It they beheld any
thing they think they can heat, we have
no doubt but that the " Shawnee" will be
pleased to hear from them as soon as con
venient.
During the coming week the York Club
.and the Shawnee will play a match game
iapon the grounds of the latter club,. Due
notice will be givon of the day and hoar.
BEAuTrPuL.—,—Theie is nothing purer
than honesty;nothing sweeter than charity;
nothing warmer than love; nothing richer
than wisdom; nothing more steadfast than
faith;and certainly nothing more beautiful
than. those dress goods now being sold at
the store of I. 0. Bruner. They are cheap,
durable and handsome.
FIRST OF THE SEA SON.—Mr B. F.
Appold has just received a lot of splendid
New Shore Mackerel. They are fat and
prime. I-le has thom in kits, half barrels
and barrels, ,and offers them at a very
small advance over cost. Try them, they
are the best food for this season of the
year.
"Boys IN RED."—The honorably dis
charged soldiers of this place met at the
Town Hall on Thursday evening last and
formed a Zouave Company, They bought
their suits ready-made ; blue coats and
red flannel 'pantaloons, consequently aro
"boys in red." It is a substantial suit and
makes a showy appearance. About eighty
have already joined the company and it
will soon swell to over a hundred. It is
intended as a permanent organizarion.—
Many staunch old veterans—men who
have fought on many a bloody field are
members of this company. They will at
tend the Mass Convention at Reading on
Wednesday next. The following are the
officers ; Captain Samuel D. Rodgers, 76th
P. V.: Ist Lieut. Geo. W. Nike, 23d P. V.
and 2nd Lieut. David Hinkle, 195th P. V.
The company will turn out for drill this
evening, with a fall drum corps.
THE LTEDEItIUtANZ OF BALTIMORE.
—This Association gave a concert at Ful
ton Hall, Lancaster, on Monday evening
last. Several of our citizens were present,
and they pronounce it one of the finest
musical treats they ever listened to. The
hall was packed full and the immense
audience appeared highly delighted with
the performance. " The Leiderkranz"
passed through this place on Thursday
last, homeward bound. They stopped a
short time at Andrew Zeller's and sang
one piece, which was greatly admired by
all who heard it. They are a jolly whole
sealed crowd and expressed themselves
highly pleased with their visit to Lancas
ter County. Louis Neumann, Esq., of the
Corres,powleat aecompanied the party. He
is a clever, sociable gentlemen. We hope
the next time they pass this way they will
stop loug'enough to give one of their ex
cellent concerts in Columbia.

TILE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.— , There are
persons, who, because they patronize the
local paper to the amount of ten or eighteen
dollars a year, ti*lrilf. that w are under ob
ligations to them, t 3 that moonlit, in ask
ing the publication of some article or reso
lutions or printing for soma show, circus,
fair or party, gratuitously. Again, many
grumble because the local paper is not
equal in size and reading mat ter to the
papers of Philadelphia or New York.—
Make the place where you reside a Phila
delphia of New York in size or business,
and then your local press Will become us
valuable as the press of thosa places.—
Give to the home paper a liberal encour
agement, and it can be much improved ;
but give it only :a niggardly support, and
that grudgingly,and it will be pretty hard
work running the machine. A country
paper is only kept up by the greatest effort.
A sprightly good looking paper well tilled
with advertisements and local matter ,
gives character to the place, helps to sell
your goods and property, and besides is a
great public convenience as well as a ben
efit. It' you want a good re adable sheet,
support it but if from any cause the mat
ter should not be quite up to your stand
ard, do not throw it aside and pronounce
it of no account, until you are satisfied
that there has not been more labor be
stowed upon it than has been paid for.

RUNAWAY AND SMASH UP—Ex-
CITEMENT IN LOCUST STREET.—On Fri
day morning last as aMr,Grider of Mount
attempted to cross the railroad track
with horse and wagon,at the Locust street
crossing,an engine coming up on-the track
of the Reading ct Columbia R. R.,his horse
became frightened and ran off, the wagon
striking a tree at Snyder's corner, threw
Mr. G. out, passing over him and hurting
him severely. The horse, with the front
wheels of the wagon, ran up Locust
street a a fearful rate, raising- a great ex
citement. At Maltby Ltz. Case's Store, Crist.
Herr's wagon was struck and Henry S.
Shenk's was upset and broken. Mr. E.
Hershey made a narrow escape. As he
was coming down street, saw the horse
coming towards him, when he turned to
get out of the road but the runaway calne
right to him. Mr. H. then jumped out
and his horse became unmanageable, up
set the buggy, tore himself loose and Tan
oil'. Mr. Grider's horse continued on up
street, till the wheels, yet attached to him
caught on the pump in front of B. Barr's
store above Third Stgeet,
This accident might have been avoided,
as the watchman of the Penn'a ft. R.
saw both the engine and the wagon ap
proaching, and strange to say be never
gave an alarm or signal. Said "ha was not
paid for watching but one road, but if they
would pny . him he would insure that no
body would get hurt." Either the Rail
road Companies or the watchman deserves
the severest censure,

to be over Mrs. Eberlein's line about 7
inches, and that all that is necessary to
protect said wall from ,damage from the
drainage of water from the roof of Mrs.
Eberlein's stable is that the said stable
roof be furnished with good and sufficient

required, even if Mr. Swartz were on his
own line, Respectfully,
Jos. MIFFLIN'.

Mn. FLomo.--Your paper not being etrictlypolitical
makes nto hesitate in asking a place in your columns
to reply to a communication signed "S" and pub
lished in the Lancaster intelliocaccr,of the 14th, inst.,
in which the writer attempts to ridicule and hold
up to contempt and scorn, some of the best young
men of our town, by calling them "bummers" "loaf
ers," and other opprobious names, and at the same
time talking of the "real soldiers." Now, do you
know? and does the writer of the communication
know, that the youngmen connected with the "boys
in blue" club, are (at least the most of them) as good
and true soldiers as ever carried a musket! That
they risked their lives many times during the grout
rebellion in defence of the Government, when the
poor devil "S" was at home in ease and comfort,
playing penny poke, and drinking stumps around
the hotels. To tell qs that swill men as Harry
Mullen, George IVike, Samuel Rogers, T. M.Fisher,
and many others, are "bummers," and loafe,s, men
who were fighting or incarcerated in rebel prisons
and starving cn quarter allowances of corn bread
and sorghum, while "S" the beast was comfortable
at home, is an insult to common decency. The
man, who to make a little political capital out of
such things, and resort ti such foul slanders, would
not hesitate to steal the crown of thorns and sell
them for tooth-picks. Out upon the brute! let no
decent man speak to him! he is beneath contempt I
he is a moral leper! a scab on the community, and
should bo scouted from all decent society. The
company of which this vile pnppy speaks.is flourish
ing finely, and will help to swell up the great
majority for Geary, at the coming election, and to
sink Clymer, almost as low, politically, as "S" is iu
decency.

The next session will continence Wed

We have secured, by the offer of high
salaries, the first order of teaching talent
and experience, believing that an intern
gent and enterprising community will de
mand a school affording the best advan
tages of education. And it is full of lasting
injury to suppose any one competent to
give instruction in the rudiments of knowl
edge. Early training is the most import
ant and effective. It generally controls
the life. This, then, is the proper field for
the most careful and experienced culture.
Let me compose the Ballads for the chil
dren, and 1 care not who shall make the
Laws for the Nation, is a sentiment as
forcible, as it is applicable to whatever
educates a people.
Columbia is worthy of such an institution
as we design, through a liberal patronage,
to establish. Nature seems to have lavish
ed her choicest beauties on the location,
and art is rendering it a most accessible
and = ble spot. "Learning, and Vir
tue are the safest riches," nothing can be
more commendable in parents than to
give this inheritance to their children.
And with a good institution in their midst,
even those of moderate circumstances can
well afford to secure it.
We shall open a seperate room for
young ladies, with a teacher in charge and
who is an accomplished French and Eng
lish scholar, and known to be thorough

Cured by illishier's lerb Bitters !
When Mishler's Bitters were first intro
duced to the public the propriotor did not
feel justified in recommending it as a spe
cific for Cholera During the. fall of 1865,
Dr. Mishler received the following note
from Jacob L. Baker, Esq., of Lancaster
Pa., a member of the Philadelphia College
of Pharmacy. Mr. Baker had a great deal
of experience in the treatment of Cholera
is a druggist of sixteen years standing,was
Hospital Steward in the Jefferson Hospital,
Philadelphia, for three years, and is withal
a gentleman of undoubted integrity and
one in whose statement the most implicit
confidence can be placed :
Lancaster, November 3d, 1865.
Dr. Mishler—Dear Sir:—Knowink,e that
the Cholera with its dreadful ravages is now
upon our laud, and knowing that no medi
cine now in our country possesses such a
caloric influence "which is the vital reme
dy for all diseases of this kind," as the
Bitters you now making I request you to
prepare such a quantity of your bitters as
would suit all demands, as I assure you
they will be an invaluable remedy, and
will be hailed as a blessing by all who will
use it.
Yours respectfully.
JACOB L. 8..4,,,KE1E.
Being thus urged, and having noticed
the Bitters were constantlycuring the most
violent eases of Diarrhcea, Cholera Morbus
and kindred complaints,Dr. Mishler at last
()tiered his compounds as a cure for Cholera
The result has exceeded his most sanguine
expectations and fully justifies all that Mr.
Baker save in his note, It certainly proves
that Mr. Baker's practical knowledge of
medicine far exceeds that of most doctors
who too often dose their patients with de
leterious drugs on some absurd theory.—
For the purpose of showing that .I\lishler's
Herb Bitters will cure Cholera we give
below a few filets.
All intelligent persons who have investi
gated the origin of cholera, agree that it is
caused by poison introduced and generated.
into the system by impure .vatc•r, damp
ness, filth and over-crowded rooms with
deficient ventilation. This is proved by
the fact that cholera always rages worm
on board o 1• ships where all of the above
causes are found more or less combined.
To cure cholera, and also to prevent it,it is
necessary to neutralize this position, and
that Mishler's Bitters will do this is proven
by the following:
The steamship Virginia, arrived at the
Port of Now York about the middle of
April with cholera a board a number of the
passengers having died (luring the voyage
with this complaint. Among the passen
gers • were a family named Schutith, from
Baden, Germany. This family was at
tacked with cholera. Fortunately for them
they had friends living in this city (Lan
caster, Pa.,) who knew the virtues of Mish
ler's Bitters and who procured a bottle and
sent it to the Schmith family. When this
package arrived at Quarantine,the doctors
examined it and confiscated the contents.
Another bottle was procured and packed in
a more secure wanner: ilsafely reached the
Sehiniths. On its arrival aboard the Vir
ginia, Henry Sc•hutitlt and Christ. Schmitt).
were both laboring under choleric symp
toms: Mrs. Marcia Sehmilh, wife of the
former was very bail, not expected to re
cover, and a son had died of the dread com
plaint and had been buried theday previ
ous. It was in this plight a bottle of Mish
ler's Bitters, sent. Ault' like an Angel of
Mercy lound the poor Sclunith
Henry Seinnith was the first to try it, and
so instantaneous was the relief he experi
enced that he gave itto his wife and brother
both of whom it at once relieved. They
used the entire contents of the bottle and
all three were so much relieved that the
physicians permitted them to leave the
Virginia,after being confined at quarantine
aboard that scourge ship forty-two says.—
The Schmiths proceeded to their relatives
in Lancaster, and at an early opportunity
called ou Dr. Mishler to express their grati
tude feu• the timely relief they had found
in his Bitters. _Mr• Henry Schmith stated
that all the compoupds the doctors had
given hint did no good, but that one glass
of Mishler's Bitters made hint feel like it
new man, warming his whole system,
giving him a healthful heat and causing
hint to perspire freely. His statement was
substantially was substantially us given
above, and ho further said that if the doc
tors had not kept the first bottle front
reaching him, his son Would yet hrve been
living. Mrs. Schmidt was still weak front
the eni..et of cholera, but, the continued use
of the Bitters were most surely restoring
her accustomed vigor,
it is not to be expected that regular M.
Ds. will admit that any remedy not to be
found in the Dispensatory will cure Chol
era or any other complaint, but candor
compels Dr. D. H. Bissell of the Cholera►
Hospital ship " Falcon" to admit• that ho
believes Mishler's Bitters to be it `• very
good Tonic." In reply as to a case of Bit
ters that was sent to him by a well known
gentleman of Lancaster, he writes as fol
lows
Hospital Ship Falcon,
Q,uarantin, New York o lune 7th, 1,56(1.
tieorge S. Rowbotham, Esq.— Dear Sir:
Yours of the 23d, inst. is to hand, In re
ply, I beg leave to say, that I received the
ease of Bitters you sent me for trial .Cc.,
that I gave them to the convalescents in
Hospital. I believe them to be a very
good tonic Bitters, well adapted to all cases
requiring Tonic remedies.
D. H. BISSELL, Physician,
Hospital Ship "Falcon."
This letter from Dr. Bissell,just after the
reception of the Bitters, and beibre he had
time and opportunity to thoroughly test
their wonderful medicinal properties is
considered au important endorsement, as
that gentleman to-day occupies the most
important position of any physician in
America. The passengers anti crows o
emigrant and merchant vessels that arrive
in the Port of New York from foreign coun
tries,are subject to his inspection and con
trol, and the great experience he has heti
in the management of that dreadful dis
ease, Cholera, gives an endorsement by
him an unusual importance. This letter
together with the statement of the Schmith
family—who while in the Steamer Vir
ginia, were under Dr. Bissell's control,
shows what the Bitters have done and can
do.
Another case of Cholera cured by :Nash
ler,s Herb Bitters is that of Mr. Pearsol of
York county, who,alter suffering severely
from all the symptons of Cholera, nasally
became collapsed and while in this state.
(the doctors stating that he wet. beyond re
lief) a friend administeredfreely,Mishler'd
Bitters. The effect was instantaneous ;
heat was generated in the body, perspira
tion was induced and after using one
tle Mr. Pearsol was entirely restored.
Mishler's Bitters cures Cholera by coun
teracting the poison which is the cause of
the disease. Poison in the system,whothor
generated by bad air, filth, ttc., as in
Cholera, or introduced by the bite of a
venomous snake or mad dog will be ex
pelled and all had symptom: allayed by
the use of Michler's Herb Bitters. Thu
above proves this to be the fact in Cholera
and the certificate of Mr.Rhinebart proves
that Mishler's Billers will cure the bite of
a poisonous snake:
Lancsster, .Tuly 4th, ISd. - ,
Mr. 13. Mishier—Sir:—About eightweekli
since I was bitten in the left hand by a
snake, but at the limo did not know of
what species it wits. Immediately after
the bite my hand swelled to a very ,large
size, and ttie poison appeared to be werk
ing up my arm. r suffered great pain in
my hand and arm; 1 hod to quit work and
was afraid I would be 'compelled to hare
my hand amputated. I came to you, by and
your advice washed my hand and arm
with your Herb Bitters at, the satine thin,
faking it inwardly. In cloven days I wax
aide to i•ct to work again. The poison was
all drawn oat. anti Mishler's herb Bitters
was the only medivine or application that
I made use of. Mr. Christian Burns, n
near neighbor of mine, went out a day or
two after to the place where I was bit ten,
and killed what I believe W 55 the saute
snake that bit me as he elfught within five
yards of the spot where I was bitten. It
proved to be what is called a copper snake;
at arty rate, whether it was the same one
that , bit me or not—one thing is certain—
that your Bitters curecl the bite of a snake
in my ease for which I shall ever be thank
ful, as I believe it was the moans of saving
my hand.
I shall be plea.qed to personally satisfy
any one of the truth of the above.
Yours. JACOB RIIsZEFIART.
