HEALTH OF OUR TOWN.—Thus far

better trim. All praise to our efficient
Town Council and Board of Health. Fevers,
Cholera and other epidemic diseases have
steered clear of us.
THE PAVEMENTS.--Tbe pavements
in many parts of the town needs great at
tention. The one at the corner of Third
and Walnut Street at the residence of Mr.
McCauley, is in a wretched condition and
should be attended to without delay. We
call the attention of Council to the fact.

CONTINENTAL VOCALISTS.—This, the
oldest company of the kind now traveling,

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE—That
Maltby Jz Case,has on hand, the largest as
sortment of Fall and Winter Goods in Co
lumbia. It will be seen by their adver

just added another supply to their already
large stock. They have the best assort
ment. of Cloths and Cassimeres ever offer

Merchant Tailoring Establish ment, elegant
handsome and fashionable dress,and busi

Ladies' dress goods is also tall and com
plete and at prices which the "Jews" can
not gainsay. Call and see for yourselves.
TETE CIRCUS.—Howe's great Europe
an Circus made its grand entree into town
on Monday last. It attracted great crowds
of men, women and children to the streets;
and the great pageant was universally ad
mired for its pomp and grandeur. The
procession consisted of a cavalcade of
Knights in burnished steel armor, ladies
attired in the costume of the days of the
Crusades, tableau, cars containing a liv
ing lion and an allegorical tableau of
America, chariots, &c. They gave two en
tertainments—afternoon and•evenlng, and
we belie ,re, performed all that was an
nounced on the bills, something not gen.-
orally done in a circus. The audience was
not so great as we have seen •it on like
occasions. There is so much similarity
with all these shows that'people are be;
ginning to get tired of them, and unless
they get up something new it will not pay
to travel the country.
MINOS PLEASANT TO SEE.—The fol
lowing are things pleasant to see: A work
ingman reading the newspaper; a real
lady that can carry a parcel, a fatheeat
place of amusement with his children ; a
young man with a clear eye and a fresh
virtuous unhackneydd face; a shop girl
neatly dressed. without sham-ornamenta
tion ; a man of business going home at
nighrwith a boquet for his wife; a shop
man civil to, and patient with a poor
woman, who, with a baby across her arm,
ventures to buy a shilling article ; a dress
maker who is sciontitic enou4h to perfect
a"fit,"and yet leave your breathing appa
ratu.s in christian working condition; a
milliner who didn't come from Paris ;
jolly domestic who "likes the ,amity?" a
bride with her pet small house ; a young
father with his first boy. And people
buying their goods of those who advertise
in the Spy.
THE Of DEP. SIDE OF 'Mk:STORY —ln
our last issue we published an account of
the attack on Robt. Hutchinson, by some
of the workmen at Grubb's Furnace. We
hoard bite relate the story as stated in our
tripor ‘);* Lt,' last. t' a au . bor or per
soni. We never saw Mr. H. before,neither
did we ku.nv his poittius, his country or
his cruel. We simpiy stated the facts as
we heard thin iVe learn nee, that Hut
chinson proyo'rce,l the attack—went .into
tie Pam:we an 3 commenced to abase the
:net—aced mo im lecenr and insulting
language towards them ; whereupon ho
was bantered oat to tight, when a melee
took place and he got the worst of it. It
appears that he has a spite at some of the
men working at this Furnace and has be
fore made .evere threats ; but this time it
seems that he got "settled." Mr. M. A.
Reid and Mr. Allison who manage affairs
at the Furnace, and who are gentlemen of
strict inte4rity, say that no blame is at
tache] to the employees. They would not
have men in their employ who would com
mit any act of violence or disturb the peace
in any way.
We are always ready and wi6ng to make
amends when approached in an honorable
and gentlemanly manner.
VISITING FIREMEN.—The G0 ,, c1 Wili
Steam Fire Engine Company, No. 3,
of Allentown, Pa., passed through this
place on Wednesday last, on their way to
York. They had their Engine with them
which is a beautiful and substantial one,
and was examined by many of our citizens.
They are a fine looking body of men and
are courteous and respectful. The Allen
town Cornet Band accompanied them.—
They were dressed in a neat uniform and
while here discoursed some enchanting
music. During the Company's stay in
York they were the guests of the Laurel,
and we presume a right good time was
had.
They returned again on Friday, and
while here were entertained at Lockard's
Hotel by the Columbia Fire Company of
this place. .4. mishap occurred to our Com
pany in not receiving the telegram; as the
person to whom it was sent, was out of
town,consequently there was no commit
tee at the Ferry landing to receive them,
which was no fault on the part of our Com
pany; the Ugh we believe the matter was
explained: A portion of the boys felt
quite merry, and paraded our streets with
toy drums, tin whistles and horns, nmeh
to the amusement of the children, and
which excited the risibles of our staid cit
izens. The Good W ill Bred up their
Engine to show qur citizens how she
worked. It ttlrows a stream over , two
hundred feet, through an inch and, a quar
ter nozzle, She works to a charm, and
seemed to leave the impression upon our
people that we must live one in Colum
bia. This one was built at Seneca Falls
Neil , York, and cost $5,000.
Willy Beating.
Mn. Earron:—lt is said there are animals
in town not deserving the name of men.
who are in the habit of cruelly beating
their wives, with their fists ac. As they
are not independent or the world, but
want their neighbor's custoin for support,
would- it not be a wholesome remedy if
the citizens of Columbia would cease deal
ing with them ? Again I would suggest
that for every beating they inflict upon
their wives, let the callithumpians turn
out with appropriate banners, and give
them a serenade. When they learn what
public opinion is, about their disgraceful
conduct, they will probably mend their
manners. Should this fail to cure I will
ho one to publish them and suggest the
propriety of riding them on a rail. X.
MR. EDITOR.—As the smoke of the great
palitical battle has cleated away, and the
number of the slain and wounded is for all
proper purposes pretty well ascertained,
'tis well to see a • healthy feeling pervade
society. There is no apparent clauger that
we are to be driven into another civil war.
All political - parties are pretty well con
vinced that majorities now us ' in the past,
must and will rule.
We are now enjoying the beauties of
Fall weather, with comparatively little
sickness. The much dreaded cholera has
not scourged as in 1854. Nor have wo had
a - single case of this dreaded disease? 'Tis
true we have cases of Oho/cra Morbus at
all seasons of the year, but the real Asiatic
Cholera is quite another thing. The Doc
tors to the contrary notwithstanding, why
Mr. Editor it has been well said "'Tis
a foul bird begrims its own nest." What
then must be thought of the M. D., who to
enlarge hiS own practice,and spread abroad
his importance, tells two kinds of persons
viz; those who ask him, and those who
don't—that ho' has several cases of the
simon-pure Asiatic Cholera under his
care. The borough authorities should'
know of it first,l would suppose; but such
dodges won't• pay in the end. Your rein
ed : for cholera and all the ills of life, as
published in your former issue, (91 Psalm)
has been well received by the right think
ing ofyour readers. This and this only
is the panacea -for earthly sorrows and
diseases.
,Now is the season for instruction. The
rising generation is the hope of the nation.
Our Common Schools are a blessing which
no other country enjoys so largely. What,
with beautiful and extensive School house
and our efficient Corps of teachers hea led
by that very successful Instructor Mr.
Newpher, and backed-up by the fostering
care of an able school board. I say what
may we not hope for the future of the
Youth of oar Borough; - and yet Mr. Editor
while I would draw your attention to the
blessings I would also speak of an buse
which should not be permitted to go
further.
I refer to the gathering of unruly boys
around and in front of our school house.
These boys annoy some of the female
teachers by looking through the windows
and spelling words given by the Teacher
to her pupils. When remonstrated with
and ordered off,thay make all sorts of wry
faces. The worst of all, Mr. Editor is that
these boys are encouraged by the loud
laugh of those who should know better.—
Why should young females, who by close
and arduous study have attained their
present honorable position, be subjected to
the coarse jeers of persons who never knew
the difference between A and the gable of
a house. Do you ask me what I mean ?
simply this,--that in Clierry Street there
seems to be a system of persecution while
the female teachers are returning from
their arduous 1 , vocations. There are those
who were never known for refinement in
language or Manners, who make it their
sport to sneer at the " Ladies who sit in
state in the school rooms while they (poor
ignorar:t souls) pay the tuxes." I hope,
Mr.Editor,l have said enough on this sub
ject, if not I may at another time.
There is another subject I would desire
to call your attention to ; `The Cemetery.'
Why should not this place be made so
beautiful by the living that to vis t the
homes of the dead would be both pleasant
and profitable. As long as the weather
will permit, the loafer and the vain, the
libertine and the drunkard desecrate the
spot of an others held sacred by the people
of Columbia. There's plenty of energy and
determination in the surviving relatives
of the dead to make our Cemetery as much
a garden spot, a place to be loved for i s
beauty and sacredness,as it is now loathed
for its deformity and the evils practiced
these. I have drawn too much on your
patience and will now bid you good bye
for the present. ITZ

The feeling at personal interest in Mr.
Crosby seems to prevade the whole
country. Every little town or village has
its one or more clubs, and we understand
that tile rapid sale of certiticates through

RELIEF IN TEN MINUTES.
BRYAN'S PULMONIC WAFERSe,
et?" The origin Medicine estubtished and
first article of the kind ever introduced under the
name of "Pulmonic Wafers," in this or any other
country ; all wrier Pulinome Wafers are counter
feits. 'Pie genuine can be known by the mune
BRYAN being stamped on each Wafer.
These Wafers have been before the public for
nearly thirty years, and the immense sale attained,
not only in America but in foreign countries. fully
attest their intrinsic worth. The medical proper
ties are superior many other articles offered for
the cure of Pulmonary or Bronchial:affections, and
the quantity contained in each box is nearly dou
ble that of that of the many worthless imitations
advertised. _ .
. -
Bryan's Pulinonie Wafers
cure Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Hoarseness, Asth,-
ma, Catarrh. Bronchitis, Difficult Breathing, Spit
ting Blood, Pains in the Chest. Incipient Consump
tion and all diseases of the lungs. Not only afford
ing temporary relief, but effecting a rapid and last
ing cure and are warranted to give satisfaction in ,
every instance. Theydo not nauseate like acoholie
compounds, and the medical properties are com
bined in a form so agreeable and pleasant to the
taste, that any child will readily eat them. One
dose will always afford
Relief in Ten Minutes.
To Vocalists and Public Speakers, these Wafers
are peculiarly valuable; they will in one day re
move the most severe occasional hoarseness and.
their regular use for a few days will, at all times,
increase the power and flexibility of the voice,
greatly improving its tone, compass and clearness,
tor which purpose they are regularly used by many
professional vocalists.
The very great celebrity of this invaluable rem
edy has induced unprincipled persons to prepare
base imitations, which disappoint the just expecta
tions of the purchaser, and Injure the character of
the genuine medicine.
See that the word, "BRYAN," is stamped on each
Wafer, and also observe the fee simile of the sig.-
naturecf the Proprietor "JOB MOSES" oe each
wrapper, to counterfeit which is forgery. j177-Offen
ding parties will be dealt with to the full extent of
the law.
