SUSQIII.I.IA - NNA IRON COMP NY,—This
company's mill is located in the outskirts of
our borough, immediately on the Susque
hanna river, and is one of the best of its
class in the State. They are running up
to their full capacity all the time, and still
have orders ahead. Thoy have lately
made several hundred tons of cable iron
for the Government. They employ about
one hundred hands and pay out about five
thousand dollars monthly for labor, alone,
which show that such establishments
are of some importance to our town. They
manufacture flat, round and square iron
of all description, and it is said to be of the
very best quality.

Christmas, and make it a day of - special
rejoicing. But Vie local customs of the
East have made Thanksgiving the great
season of joy and plebsure throughout the
hills -and valleys of - New England.
Thanksgiving dinner is the general re
union of families that have gone from
under the old homestead, when all the
members of the parental household-gather
under one :roof, to mingle in common re
joicing over the cheer and gladness that
prevade the land.
We make the day less of a social cele
bration and more of a religious season.
All our churches are open for morning
and evening services, As in New Eng
land the table always groans with dainty
fare, but. the morning orisons and the
evening vespers are always made the oc
casion of special religious censeeration to
Heaven. The temples of religion will be
filled by a grateful people, - who come with
happy hearts in reverence and gratitude
before Him,.whoso open hand has given
us our bounteous cheer. That all our
readers may be purified and strengthened
by the observance of the day, is the sin
cere expression of our will and spirit.

SAD AND FATAL. PUNNING ACCI
DENT.--Our citizens will regret to learn of
the unfortunate accident , to Mr. Davis
Wright of Philadelphia, son or James
Wright, formerly or this place, which took
place ou Tuesday last. 1f.;.; with a friend
named Lew. Thoma:s to Chu.;tiar no
Monday last for the purpose of gunning
in that vicinity, and lvhils out, bhey com
menced playing or tasseling, when one of
the guns, by some means unknown, w , ts
discharged, the load taking efibet in his
left, breast. He wai brought at once to
Philadelphia and placed in the Hozpital.
and lingered. until Tueiday afternoon,
when death relieved him or his soinrings.
His father, mother and other mcmborii or
the family were with him when he died.
He was a very promising and exemplary
young man, about 21 years old. The de:

REnEKA.II HEMS:l.—Susquehanna
Lodge No. SO, I. 0. at 0. F., will meet in
the Degree of Reb4:ali this (Saturday)
evening at 7 o'clock all qualided Brothers
and Sisters are invited to be present. It
is a good place to go, and we hopo that the
room will be croweed. We will guarantee
that every B. other and Sister who lends his
or her presence on the occasion, and that
heeds the lessons of that beautiful degree of
the Order, will go home the better for the
visit. A ceremony that teaches men and
women to give a cup of cold water to the
thirstydbod to the hungry,and reliefin sick
ness and distress,and whose devotees Per
formthe tales with which they are charged ,
we hold is far better than hollow profess
ions that are cast olr so soon as the altar is
behind one's back, mid which in the outer
world are lost sight of entirely. 'We long
to see the day when the members of our
Order will be universally acknowledged as .
a band that live by the' precepts of the
Golden Rale, as they are now known and
recognized as the almoners of the poor and
distressed.
Let the wives -of Odd Fellows of the
Scarlet Degree but lay aside their foolish
predjudices and join with those who are
already enlisted in so good a work. God
never made caste pr distinction ; why
should mortal be greater than He? Once,
a poor traveler among thieves, he was
robbed, bruised, wounded,and then left to
the mercies of whoever might be kind
enough to bind up his wounds. One after
another the rich and great journeyed along
the highway, but seeing their unfortunate
fellow-man passed by on the other side,
with eyes averted and hearts cold to his
agonizing cries for help—their names have
come down to us and will go on to count
lesss ages to follow, branded with the bit
terest curse of High Heaven ; but a poor,
miserable, despised Lazzaroni, clothed in
rags of poverty, tindinz the stricken one,
poured oil upon his Areounds and bound
them up from the scanty tatters that hid
his own nakedness—his name also become
historical—but the Angel of Mercy wrote
the history. Rebekah at the well gave a
cup of cold water—that simple act gave
her a Present and historical position more
proud than any woman of our land would
dream of. Wives of Odd Fellows !as you
act, so shall you be recorded. Your
Heavenly Father hears the cry of poverty
and distress much sooner than the prayers
of arrogance and wealth. His biddingand
work must, and His edict says, Oat!. be
done in spirit and truth by you, not by
prosy. Como up ladies to our Lodge
room,-and show those who - pretend not,
that you arc capable of acting in concert
with your husbands and brothers, and
with one another in pure offices of human
bonefacticn.
COLLF3iI3I4. ROLLING MILL AND
FoUNDRY.—A few days ago, in company
with Dr. Howard S. Case, we paid a visit
to the Columbia Rolling Mill and Foundry,
Maltby and Case, Proprietors, and were
surprised at the hurry, bustle and great
activity displayed on all sides. They - are
filling heavy orders from abroad, for Rail
road iron. They are now tilling a large
order for "fifty-six lb. rails" for the Co
lumbus and Indiana -Central Railway.—
Few persons-'oven our own citizens—have
an idea of the work doing at this mill,
and indeed, wo are told that ore long its
capacity will be enlarged. There is a
number of puddling furnaces, licating
furnaces, t.tc. Two large engines furnish
the power for these works—one of them a
two-hundred and forty horse power.—
They have sei , eral pairs oflarge shears,
used in cutting cold iron ; one of them is
of immense proportions and weighs many
tons; it cats the heaviest railroad bar.—
When the works are in full operation they
can turn out a first class railroad bar every
minute, 40 to 50 tons daily—•usingup about
50 tons of coal. Over three hundred hands
are employed, in and about the establish
ment, which makes upwards of six hund
red persons dependent upon those works for
support; and in order to give their employ
ees suitable tenements, the proprietors
have built about twenty houses during the
last eighteen months. In addition to what
the hands get at the store of their employ
ers, about six thousand dollars per month
is paid to them in cash. The works are
under the management and direction of
Mr. David Richards, " the right man in
the right place."
Near the Rolling fictill is situated the
Foundry and Machine Shop—about 18
hands are employed, under charge of Mr.
Thomas D. Lewis. a practical and experi
enced machinist. Ho also has charge of
the machinery in the rollfkg mill. Some
of the heaviest castings are macle at this
foundry. A tly-wheel was cast some Lime
ago which, with the pinion, tv eighed forty
three tons, ten .hundred weight No small
affair we think. They have on several oc
casions, east ten thousand pounds in one
solid peiee. They cast, and turn, all their
own rolls, having a double turning lathe
of their own manufacture, which is said to
be the best of its kind in the State. It
turns otr a. shaving nine inches long, imcl
three-sixteenths to a quarter inch in thick
ness. It is driven by a ten horse power
engine. A railroad track runs into these
shops, where tho heavy castings aro load
ed on ears and run over to the mill, or
shipped to any part of the country. Near
the foundry is a ear shop where all the re
pairing is done and new cars built. They
are now building some ten or fifteen coal
cars, to go to Nova Seoria.
The whole work' are managed and con
trolled by Mr. Case—C. S. Maltby living
in New Haven, Coma., and engaged in
other pursuits.
- 'When this mill was left forsaken and
deserted, to be inhabited by the moles and
' hats, this tirm came to the rescue ; and
strange to say, they wore opposed by some
of the far seeing and jealous ones of our
town, and the enterprise wta not looked
upon with much favor, But Mr. Case
kept steadily on, building up the mill—
kept it running ; giving men employ
ment in times when business was pros
trate, tufa othor men were leaving town or
fearing to go into business, Ito has done,
as anteli for Columbia as saute other men,
and nut ttai.zori. anour it either. Ahil now
that the tide has cairn; o[, Columl)la's
friend should not be forgotten. The groat
influx of people to our town during the
last two . or three years,is attributable,in
great measure, to the indefatigable energy
and enterprise of such men as Col. Wm. G
C.ise—the 'thither of the Reading LC,: Colum
bia Railroad.
CENTENARY or AMERICAN HE'rnoD
'sm.—The Centennial Jubilee held at the
M. E. Church, in this place, on Friday
evening the lath inst., was a highly inter
esting occasion, and a complete success in
every respect. The Church was beautifully
decorated with evergreens and flowers—
around the galleries,ildling gracefully over
the sides, were double rows of heavy fes
toons,matie of spruce pine. Covering from
the gas-pillars :in the gallery. and running
to the ventilator in the ceiling, were four
large ropes of evergreen snspendcd, from
the centre of these was a large and, beauti
ful basket of flowers and at regular intervals
around the front of the galleries were
placed a number of smaller ones, giving a
tine effect to the scene. Over the arch of
the pulpit, in large letters, were the words,
"Centennial Jubilee;" in the rear of the
pulpit, under this caption, "Immortal
names that cannot die 1" were the follow
ing names, "Wesley, Embury, Asbury,
Strawbridge, Heck, Webb," and unc'er
neath this an excellent likeness of Rev.
John Wesley. the founder of Methodism,
enwre.athed in evergreen and flowers.
On the wall, back of the Choir, was this
appropriate sentence, "Praise ye the
Lord." All the lettering had been eive
fully cut out of pasteboard and then cov
ered with evergreen, giving it a most pic
turesque appearance, by gas-light.
Rev. Alfred Cook man, the orator of the
evening, was greeted by a large and intel
ligent audience, who listened with inter
est and pleasure while he dwelt at consid
erable length upon the rise and progress
of American Methodism, in his usual
happy and eloqueLt style. He spoke of
her wonderful development during this
first century of her history. Having
grown from a little class of five persons,
who first met in the private house of
Philip Embury, a Local Preacher, in the
city. of New York, to the astonishing num
ber of two millions, who are scattered over
the length and breadth of this great
country. And showing from the last
United States census that, the Methodist
denomination, though the youngest, has a
larger aggregate membership than any
other; that she has about one-fourth of
our population under her ministry and
owns one-third of all the Church accom
modations in this country.
The secret of this unexampled prosper
ity he found, in the distinctive doctrin6
of Methodism—a free and full salvation,
entire sanctification Mid the witness of the
spirit; in the peculiar economy of this
church—an itenerant ministry, class meet- ,
ing, fellowship and extensively co-opera
tion in the spiritual-work of the Church ;
and above all, in the special presence and
blessing of God upon . ..lethodist evangeli
zation.
Rev. Wm. 11 - ajor, the Pastor, delivered
a brief but earnest address, urging .his
congregation to sustain the honor of . Meth
odism, in this grand Centennial Celebra
tion. This was followed by some appro
priate remarks from r..evcral members of
the Church. - The contributions now began
quite spiritedly, ranging from til.oo up to
$200.00. making an aggregate of about
$1900.00, which will be increased by the
Sunday School offering, to considerably
more than 12,000.00. Of this amount,
about $700.00 was given for the relief of
Superannuated ministers, $OOO.OO far the
endowment of Dickinson College, and the
balance to •various _tiler educational and
missionery interests. Another pleasant
feature of the-meeting was its social char
acter. This was greatly improved by the
introduction, about ter.. o'clock, of hot
coffee and cakes for the entire company.
It was indeed quit') a novelty in church,
but seemed to have a magical effect in
making everybody feel perfectly at home.
The occasion was ono of very great inter
est, gave universal satisfaction and will
long be remembered by all who were
present. The music was appropriate to
the occasion and was greatly admired.
The Sunday School Jubilee will be held
on next Sabbath at two o'clock, P. M.
The parents and friends of the children are
especially invited to attend, and the pub
lic generally.

- NI - GUT IVATCIL—About two months
since, a petition signed by many of our
citizens, was presented to Council, asking
that three night watchmen be appointed,
to patrol the town. It was referred to the
Finance Committee. who reported at the
stated meeting in October. The following
is a copy of the report;
Columbia, Oct. 19, 186 G.
Your Committee respectfully report
that they cannot I , e persuaded that the
petitioners vsking for the appointment of
three night watch, fully comprehend the
cost attending the same. Three watchmen
would scarcely be sufficient for the regu ire
meats of our town. If you appoint a
sufficient force for the town it would re
quire about live watchmen, and would re
quire an annual expense to the borough of
perhaps $2700. Tho amount of borough
tax annually collected is only $2900, and
by the creation of the night watch asked
for, the expenses of the borough would he
more than double the aanount of our mu
nicipal expense at the present mime. We
can hardly suppose your petitioners con
templated that our borough would be sub
jectedto so great an additional expense as
its cost would infer.
With due deference to the substantial
character of the petitioners, WI? would re
commend the postponement of tilt' subject
at present. Signed,
J. B. Bachman,
Wilson;} Finance Com.
T. R. Su pploc.
The report or the Committtee was accept
ed. The subject therefore lies over until
such time as it shall be deemed expedient
to give it serious - consideration. .
