The horse, attached to a' ••wagon; was hitched . at• &Aborts; when by. =some means he slipped out of the bridle :and came dashing down • .

BASE BALE.—An exciting game of base ball was played on Thursday, Nov. 29th, (Thanksgiving) between the Stella Club of Wrightsville, and the Mite, of this place, on the grounds of the latter, in which the Elite were Victorious by a handsome score of 57 to 27. —Another very interesting game was played on Thanksgiving, in Lancaster, between the Keystone Club, of that city, and the Oswego of this place, which ter minated in a victory for the former. TEMPERANCE TEIANKSGIVINO PRAYER AIEETING.—On last Thursday evening the members of aope Lodge I. 0. of G. T., held a thanksgiving prayer meeting at their Lodge room, in Second street. An invitation had been extended to all the friends of the cause, and many availed themselves of it. The exercises consisted of prayers interspersed 'with singing and remarks. After two hours spent in this manner, the meeting adjourned to meet again on next Monday evening, at the same place, at 71 o'clock. All are invited to be present. THE COLUMBIA. BRIDGE.—The COM mittee of Councilmen and citizens appoint ed by the borough council to take meas ures in reference to the Columbia bridge, met on Thursday evening last. It was resolved that the Secretary. be requested to notify the authorities and citizens of York, Wrightsville, Marietta, Lancaster, Mount Joy, Litiz and Reading, for them to appoint committees to attend a meeting, to be on Thursday, December 13th, at I_ o'clock, at the Town Hall, in Columbia, to devise some means to bring about the early reconstruction of the Columbia b,Fidge. PRICES OF PROVISIONS.-It' is, no doubt, very cheerful for housekeepers to read in the papers that the wholesale prices .of provisions of, all kinds have been ma terially reduced, and they eat breakfah with an accession of reliSh on 'the assump tion that the next meal will cost much less. But their hopes are speedily dashed • by a visit to their retail dealer, who either has not heard of the wholesale fall, or has 'beard of something else—a rise in gold. or some financial exploit of Secretary Mc- Culloch;, which always forbids a reduction of rates, and sometimes necessitates an in ' crease. REDUCTION IN TUE PRICE OF DRY Goons.--Italaeman's are creating quite a sensation at their large a ncl we/1-filled store in Locust street, above Front. They aro receiving another large supply of elegant Dress Goods, Domestics, Cassimeres, Furs, Notions, &c., which are now open to the public for inspection, and that they are of fering- them at greatly reduced prices. Their stock is full and complete, and they do not hesitate in saying that they are sell ing goods cheaper than any other estab lishment outside of the city. They don't propose going into an argument on this point, but simply invite all to call and judge for themselves. LUTHERAN FAIR.—The ladies con nected with the Lutheran church, are now holding a Fair in. Odd Fellows' Hall, which meets with a full share of success. Great taste has been displayed in decorating the 'Hall; the style is now, and the effect strik ing and very fine. Many handsome ar ticles are offered for sale, while the " good things" are spread around in such a tempting manner as to appeal strongly to the palate of the beholder. We telt like going into some of the turkey, oystersotc., but on going dbwn into our breeches pock et, " nary red was there.", The Fair will be opened at an early hoitx, this evening, when no doubt "M it that the; , Hall will be . filled to overflowing.. Fool , BOLL,--,*.A..s tio - Seasonlor base - ball, cricket, Mind other cute door ‘s sports of a kindred character is at an ()ad, our athletic youths should organize foot ball clubs, as this exhilarating sport is . better adapted to the winter season than any other. It is art exciting pastime, and its practice would be much more condUcive to - health than hugging the stoves and offices too closely, or scalding . the abdo minial regions with hot whisky during the winter months. Last year we had en ides that this sport would become nn. institu tion among us, but whether from the pop= ularity of skating, - sleighing, or indiffer ence, we cannot tell, but little was done however ; and we now venture to hint to our young men that this is the time to be up and doing. Tile only thing necessary is one or two good balls; no preparation of the ground is necessary as for base balL— Furtherthore, our base ballplayers and all those who practice athletic sport during, the summer will find it an excellent ex ercise, which will save them the pains and penalties of practice for their favorite games in the Spring. We would here suggest that base ball clubs already or ganized could easily set -the ball going et once, as a little study,,of - tke mode Of play, and the 'ruffles Whicif.die simple, would prepare them for match playing in a few days. c :A.i all events there is no reason why the attempt should 'not be made. ' TIIANKSGIVING.—This day was more, generally observed as a day of thanksgiv-. ing than any corresponding day, for a number of years past. All the stores, offices and banks were closed and no business done, which made it a general holiday occasion. There was a Union service held in the LutheratiChurch,which was well attended. Revs. Steck, Major, and Brown addressed the large assemblage. The incense of grateful hearts were sent forth to the Father of Mercies for his many favors vouchsafed to our land. Such a day as this, if properly observed, must be well pleasing in. the sight of Heaven. Great may be the advantages resulting from such a solemn religious service.— In itself it is calculated to impress the minds of all with a sense of dependence on the .Almighty, and.to awaken feelings of gratitudeto Til.rt for Ri s providential good ness and care. • How becoming, and how pleasant to see the inhabitants . ,of a land presenting them selves before the-Lord ! A general cessa tion from the usual worldly avocations— the husba,ndmen leaving , his implements of labor to lie in quietness for the time; the mechanic closing his place of employ, that he may assemble with the people, to participate in the grateful devotions of the day • and the professional man, and the man of business, all going up to the house of the Lord together, to give thanks at the remembrance of His mercies—to recount His multiplied blessings vouchsafed to the land, unitedly lifting up the heart and voice, saying, " 0 ! give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good ; for His mercy en dureth forever." "Let the people praise Thee, 0, God; let all the people praise Thee!" IRON WORKS OF SUPPLEE & BRO.— These works, situated in Second street, between Union. and Perry, immediately on the line of the Pennsylvania Central, and Reading ct, Columbia Railroads, are now in a flourishing condition. When they were first started in 1559, but eight hands were employed ; now constant em ployment is given to about twenty-four, which is as many as the present capacity of their building will allow. Up to Jan uary,lS6s,the several departments included a Foundry, Machine, Pattern and Smith Shops. A Boiler Shop hassiuce been . add ed, and from it have been turned out boil ers of all descriptions, oil stills and " agita tors" of the best and most satisfactory charactor. An immense Still for the Oil Refinery of Messrs. Truscott & Guernsey, is now in course of construction. The Machine Shop is plentifully supplied with lathes, planes and drills, adapted to the heaviest work. The engines manu factured by the Messrs. Supplee, are noted for their strength, accuracy and finish.— Their work in this line can be seen in al most every manufacturing establishment in our town, and in several establishments in the city of Lancaster and adjoining towns. They are now busily engaged upon two twenty-horse power engines, ordered by different manufacturing firms doing business in Lancaster. We wish no better proof of their mechanical skill than the fact that their engines will be the second ones made for the Lancaster firms. The Pattern department is well supplied with patterns for cog-wheels, pulleys, fly wheels, heating and puddling furnaces, &c. Brass castings are made to order. "TLIE CAMP, TILE BATTLE-FIELD AND THE HosiqTAL."-L-We haJe - justreceived copy of this great' work, which has just been published by the National Publish ing Company, 507 Minor Street, Philadel phia. The author,. Dr. L. P. Bracket, has delved most industriously amongst the masses of curious incidents which have marked the late war, and has grouped and classified them under appropriate heads, and in a very attractive form. There is a certain portion of the war that will never go into the regular histories,nor be embodied in romance or poetry, which is a very real part of it, and will, if pre served, convoy to succeeding generations a better idea of the spirit of conflict than many dry reports or careful narratives of events, and this part may be called the gossip; the fun, the pathos of the war.— These illustrate the character of the leaders, the humor of the soldiers, the devotion of women, the bravery of inea,.the pluck of oar heroes, the romance and hardships of the service. From the beginning of the war the author has been engaged in col lecting all the anecdotes connected with or illustrative of it. The volume is profusely illustrated with over 100 engravings. The book's contents include reminiscences of camp, picket, spy, scout, bivouac, siege and battle-field adventures ; thrilling feats of bravery, wit, drollery, comical and ludicrous ad ventures, etc., etc. REBEKAH MEETlNG.—According to announcement a meeting took place in the lodhe room of Susquehanna Lodge No. 80 I. 0. of O. F.' 'And as always should be the case, when this most interesting Degree is conferred, the attendance was very large, and in, addition to the presence of numerous Brothers, Woman's smiling, happy face, appeared on every side. Sey 'oral ladies took upon themselves the ob ligations after. which the evening was most happily passed in the to of lankness, and in listening to the extern pore'addreases of the brothers present.— Wm.

Public Libraries,when well selected and properly mantained, have eve: been bless ings to the communities in which they were established. The mind must have food as well as the body ; yet the majority of mankind have not the means of supplying themselves with that kind and ;variety of literature 'which tends to strengthen; ele vate and improve the mind. They must therefore either do without any at all or content themselves with the cheap trash which floods the land, vitiating the taste, exciting the passions, and weakening the minds of both old and young. To avoid the evils thus arising,the best and easiest plan is to establish a public library. A slight exercise of generosity on the part of our wealthier citizens in the way of dona tions of money or useful books would cre ate a nucleus which in a community like ours would soon receive considerable ac cession. In such matters as these all that is necessary is a proper start. We are far behind many of the smaller towns in the more eastern part of our state. In two towns which I visited during the sum mer, one containing not more than three hundred inhabitants, and the other about one thousand; I found public libraries, containing respectively from eight hun dred to twelve hundred volumes. The standard of intelligence and morality in those places were of a higher character than what would have prevailed had those aids to improvement been wanting. A drinking house was not to be found in either of them. There was a public house for the accommodation of travelers, but no liquor. By supplying food of proper kind and quality for the mind, we lessen the inclination and avoid the temptation to gratify Vie lower cravings of our nature. It is very desirable that some eflort in this direction be made among us, and we would urge it upon the attention of our citizens. Let something be, done to afford the young of our town an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the standard literature of the present day in every de partment. All who are willing to unite in an effort to start a public library are requested to send their names to the Spy Office, where, if a sufficient number are received, a time and place of meeting will be determined on and notice thereof given. EDITOR.—I was among the few who attended the "Readings" of Mr. J. H. Smyth.the "Black Rosicus,"at O. F. Hall, on last Tuesday evening, and I cannot suffer the opportunity to pass of paying a just tribute to his fine elocutionary powers combined with a line appreciation of the sense of the author. I deem this tribute the more deserved from the fact of Mr. S. belonging to that despised race who have so long been deemed fit only to be " ser vants of servants"- - "mere hewers of wood, and drawers of water" for the dominant race; but a part from that consideration,and viewed solely with regard to their intrinsic merits, his readings are entitled to rank with tt:ose of such men as Rev. C. Vi. Thompson, of York, or Prof. Kidd, both of whom, I believe, have been listened t 3 with both pleasure and ad‘?antage by Co lumbia audiences. Tosay that Mr. Smyth's readings were faultless would of course be absurd, and were I to attempt the role of the critic, I might point out what 1 con sidered defects in his personation of Mac beth in the famous "dagger scene" and I would be compelled by candor to say that I did not think he did jiistiee to Byron's Farewell to his wife,but "Sheridan's ride," " The Black Regiment," and " The charge of the Light Brigade" were rendered in a style worthy of his fellow student of elocu tion, Murdock, himself—(l am informed that Murdock and he took lessons from the same teacher of elocution)—and the fine appreciation of the ludicrous, displayed in his rendering of Pickwick, was certainly enjoyed by the whole audience. Mr. Editor, I did not intend this article as a criticisth by any means, for I disclaim the ability to criticise his readings, and know fall well the difficulty of reading an extract in which several different charac ters are personated, and therefore forbear any attempt at a criticism of Hamlet.— But my motive was. and is, simply to call attention to the tact that ' wo have aniong us that rare avis in terrors—a good read er—and to express the hope that if he should conclude to give another of his readings, he may be greeted with a laver and more remunerative, though he could not had a more appreciative audience.— And I hope if any ofour citizens ofliterary taste were deterred from hearing him on Tuesday last, through prejudice against his color, that they will not again suffer any such feeling to deprive them of the pleasure which they could not fail to re ceive from hearing him. Yours, Col., Nov. 29th, 1806 Mn. E orron.—l happened to be in the office of Esquire Evans this morning,when a German woman from Chestnut Hill came in, accompanied by her little son, (a. child of less than seven years of age,) to make complaint against a school teacher of West Hempfield Township, for inhuman treatment of the said child. The child had been beaten with a paddle, until his hips wore blue, for a l-pace as large as both of my hands; the offence was said to have been a failure to "know his lesson ;" bat I care not what the offence, a teacher, who, in this enlightened age, will inflict such punishment upon sach a child for arty of fence, completely demonstrates thereby, his utter unfitness for his position, and shows that both nature and education have intended him for a mule driver and not a teacher of youth." I hope Mr. Evans, (I mean our County Superintendent) will discharge his duty promptly in the matter, by striking the brute'&name from the roll of teachers of the County, and that the Court will inflict such a penalty as will show to such as he, that there are laws for the protection of school . children, despite the absurd decision of Superintendent Hickock that " the teacher stands in Loco Parentis to the child," and may therefore, inflict just such, and so much, punishment as the parent himself may, under similar circumstances. There have been several cases ofa similar character in West Hempfield and adjoin ing school Districts within the last 'few years, and I do hope that this one will not be suffered to be compromised in anyway, but will go to the proper tribunal for ad judication. J. M. Columbia November 27th, 186 G. DE:tat Srv.—l do not pen the following for the purpose of finding fault,but simply to enquire who has the power or right to fix the rates of pew rents, in the Presby terian Church, and to raise them from one stated price to another; also to enquire what becomes of the monies received from its members and from the congregation, as pew-rents, weekly collections, &c., &c.— It may be ignorance in me asking .said questions,but I do so because I have never seen any " report." from the official mem bers of the Church,setting forth the receipts and expenditures of the Church here. If the present prices of pews are not sufficient to defray all expenses incurred, why not lay the matter before the Church, or con gregation so that we may all know of its financial condition. d MEMBER. CHOLERA.—During the past-few weeks, says the Lancaster Inquirer, a number of fatal eases of cholera have occurred in this city, creating considerable alarm-Among our country friends. Doctors seem to dis a,gree as to whether it is the genuine Asiatic Cholera. Suffice it to say that all the suf ferers had more or less ofcholaric symptcinas No one will doubt that this country is pass ing through, as it were, a belt of atmos phere strongly tainted (if we may use such a term) with cholera poison. This being the case,it is necessary that each and every family should be provided with a remedy that can be relied upon, as speedy and efficient. When a person is attacked with cholera, so rapid is its course, that unless relief is very prompt, death ensues. Many a valuable life has been lost during the prevalence of cholera, simply belause time was lost in trying to secure the iTervi.ces of a physician. And too often is it that when tile Doctor is in attendance, hiS skill is baffled, his remedies of no avail. We verily believe, that until within a short time there was no remedy that could be called an antidote to the cholera poison, on that could be used with the assurance that a cure would follow. • But thanks to a kind Providence the remedy has at length been discovered and is within the reach of all-- it is B. Mishler's Herb bitters. When a person is attacked . with anything like Cholera let the stomach of the patient be covered with a piece of flannel saturated with Bitters as warm as can be borne, and drink freely of the same, and our word for it, a cure will be the result. We assert this without the fear of contradiction, for -w& have seen too often the results that speedi-, ly followed the above mode of treatment• to allow us to, doubt. For the Spy Dr. Mishler has now in his possession a number of certificates of startling cures of Cholera, performed by his . Herb Bitters. Amory , these may be mentioned the cases of Mr . John Brock. apiasterer of this city; Mr. Jacob Norbeck, coachmaker, working for S. B. Cox dr. Co., ;. Mr. Pearsol of York county, and others. Satisfied that his Herb Bitters were a grand specific for all cases of cholaric symptoms, Dr. Mishler forwarded, thro ugh his friend eo. S. Rowbotham, Esq., a case of Bitters to Dr. Bissol, physician in charge of the Cholera Hospital ship "Falcon," and received the following highly flattering letter; HOSPITAL SKIP FALCON, QUARANTINE, NEW YORK, June 27th, BOG. Geo. S..Robowtham, Esq: DEAR. SlR:—Yours of the 22nd inst., is to hand. In reply I beg leave to say, that I received the ease of Bitters sent me for trial, and that I gave them to patients in the Hospital. I believe ihem to be an excellent article and adapted to cases requiring such remedies. This letter coming froM such a source, should satisfy the most sceptical that Mishler's Herb Bitters can, has and will cure Cholera. Therefore; we say to all our readers always keep on hand a bottle of tls ese Bitters. Z, e ,)_L.j3 ..,U, c„ Deaths and Marriages are published in this paper without charge.
