On 'Wednesday , and Thursday the Columbia Ice Company put away an immense quantity, more than any two days previous, since organized. It was of the finest quality, and about ten inches In thickness. We believe by this evening all the ice houses in Columbia and vicinity will be filled; so this cooling luxury will be plenty during the hot months of summer. COLUMBIA.

DESERVED COMPLIMENT.—We were shown, a few days since, a handsome gold chain which was presented to our young friend, Mr. George A. Seibert, by the pastor and congregation of the E. E. Lutheran Church, of Allegheny City, Pa.—showing their appreciation of his services as an or ganist, during the past eight months. We think Miss Hettie Grabam;' the . -leader of the choir, Mrs. Bradley and others, who had the matter in charge, displayed great taste in their selection of the chain. It isa valuable New Year present—a token of respect, esteem and gratitude for the services he so kindly and faithfully ren dered, and Mr. S. feels highly compliment ed by the beautiful gift. Mr. .Seibert is a moral, upright and intelligent voung,man, and has superior talent as an organist. We are glad to learn that one of Columbia's sons is so highly appreciated in Allegheny City, and we can assure them that George will never prove faithless to the trust' re posed in him. After spending a few days with his relatives and friends in Columbia, he returned again to his home in the West, with the many wishes of his friends, that the New Year will be full of happiness and prosperity for him.

He understands the merZlantile • business thoroughly, and is one of the hest salesmen in the country—always pleasant and cour teous, and will not take the advantage of any one. John knew well what would bo of interest to himself and the firm,when he connected himself with a house so highly • popular, and still growing into public favor; and at the seine time having a stock of goods that ho need not be ashamed to show his friends. IN THE HARNESS AGAIN.—" A. 3," per l haps did a "good thing" ,when he re * moved friend Sfauffer of MohntrJoy - fioiii office on account of his fidelity to political Principles.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.—We ask at tention to the prospectus of a first-class Agricultural Journal to be published in Philadelphia, commencing January Ist. The publisher will spend money liberally on this new Journal, and Will make it one of the best in the country. As there is no weekly agricultural journal in this State, this will fill a public want. Every farmer should have the Farm and Fireside. LE BON ToN, the fashion magazine of Paris, comes to us laden with every thing new in the fashionable world. This, the January number, contains many en chanting fashion cuts. It is a superb number and exhibits the highest order of taste. Fashionable ladies everywhere, should get this valuable magazine. Ad dress Le Bon Ton, 349 Canal St., N. Y. A Call of the Evangelical Churches to the People of Columbia. The PaStors of tho various Evangelical Churches of the town, have recently con ferred together with a view to seeing if the first week of the year, now universally observed as a week of prayer, might not be observed here also. The result of their conference has been to impress them with the conviction that they should, and they hereby do, invite the whole community to join together in prayer and exhortation during the week. All over the world Evangelical christians will pray together, and exhort together in behalf of those objects which are dear to churches of every denomination. Let our town come into the movement too. Como ono, come all, and partake in the exercises of the week of prayer. The pastors would call especially upon those who have neglected the use of the means of grace. There are four thousand persons in this town who neglect the House of God, at all times. Will not these come? To thorn the call is : " Come, for all things are ready. Whosoever will, lot him take the water of life freely." Who can say, how great a blessing may be brought down upon our community by the observance of this weekly prayer? Who can say how great a loss may follow upon the neglect of this occasion? Lot every one who wishes well to our commun ity, ponder these 'questions, and do what he or she can to make these exercises earn est and universal. Let us, during the eve nings of this, Sabbatic week, lay aside our labors, and close our shops and stores, and sEco:"ln WAItD TRIRD WARD gather together to pray for Divine Bless ings upon our town, our country, and the world. A program me of subjects has been adopt ed by the World's Evangelical Alliance, and as this programme will be universal, it will be followed in the meetings proposed to bo held among us.

STAMP DIITIES.—The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has just issued a pamphlet containing a schedule of stamp duties which took effect in August 1, 1866, and also laws and regulations concerning the purchase and use of internal revenue stamps. In all cases where an adhesive is used for denoting the stamp duty upon an instil ment,t lie person using or affixing the same must write or imprint thereupon, in. ink, the initials of his name, and the date on which the same is attached or used. When stamps are printed on checks, (to., so that hi filling up the instrument the face of the stamp is, and must necessarily be, written across, no other cancellation will be re quired. All cancellation must be distinct and legible, and except in the case of proprie tary stamps from private dies, no method of cancellation which differs from that above described will be recognized as legal and sufficient. A penalty of fifty dollars is imposed upon every person that makes, or issues, or who causes to be made,signed, or issued, any paper of any kind or description what ever, or who accepts, negotiates or pays,or causes to be accepted, negotiated, or paid, any bill of exchange, draft, or order, or promissary note, for the payment of money, without the same being duly stamped, or having thereon an adhesive stamp denoting the tax chargeable thereon cancelled in the manner required by law, with intent to evade the provisions of the revenue act. A penalty of two hundred dollars is im posed upon every person who pays, nego tiatess,- or - offers 11: . gayment; tir 'reealv'es or takes in payment, any bills of exchange or order for the payment of any sum of money, drawn or purporting to be drawn in a foreign country, but payable in the United States, until the proper stamp has been affixed thereon. A penalty of f,150 is imposed upon every person who fraudulently makes use of an adhesive stamp to denote the duty required by the revenue act, without effectually canceling and obliterating the same in the manner required by law. It is not lawful to record any instrument, document, or parer required by law to be stamped, or any copy thereof, unless a stamp or stamps of the proper amount have been fixed and cancelled in the manner required by law, and such instru ment or copy and the record thereof are utterly null and void, and cannot be used or admitted as evidence in any court until the defect has been cured as provided in setion 15S. Revenue stamps may be used indis criminately upon any of the matters or things enumerated in schedule B, except proprietary and playing card stamps, for which a special use has been provided. Postage stamps cannot be used in payment of the duties chargeable on instruments. EDITOR.—Those of the Copper- Concern on Front street, seem fearfully troubled, lest the people of Columbia should not elect any Copperheads to the Council ; and are using all kindS of ways to make us believe that their party, is the only progressive party, and ought to be placed in authority, in our Borough. Then we would see things—streets opened, at the rate of one 'a week ; houses built, by the score, and rents brought down to the very smallest figure—all this would be done by Democratic Councilmen. All this stuff may do to gull Democrat voters, but it wont take amen'* intelligent people, who know what kind. of a progressive party the Copperhead party is. If our present Council, or any part of it, has been remiss in duty, or too slow, the people know that there are plenty other live men among the Union ranks, without seeking for them in a party that is already fifty years behind the age. If this party is so strongly in favor of building houses, and opening streets, and general improvement, why do they not show it by their acts ? Some of their wealthy men own town lots, which they refuse to sell to men who will improve upon them, while they do noth ing with them, themselves. If it is such a terrible thing for poor men to pay high rents, why don't some of the party, such as North, *Patton, Metz, Crane, and even Young, build a few houses, and rent them out to our mechanics at low rents. Some of these men own property they mightim prove, but refrain from doing so, from the fact that building houses ;it presentprices, and renting low, is not a paying invest ment ; while Government Bonds—they once so much despised—pay better, and are not taxable. Who cannotsee plainly that all this talk about poor men, cheap houses, Ste., is but the cry of demagogue politicians, and political tricksters, for the purpose of helping their own party into power 7' Columbia must improve, but never will if under Copperhead control. If the pro sent men, who rule the Borough, are nbt, of that progressive order that they should be, the Union men will put others in who are for "progress ' h and-wo will attend to the improvement of the town, quite as well as any the other party can furnish. Let the voters look to their Interests, and steer clear of this Copperhead party—wherever it has had the power, it has left its blight. Its progression, instead of forward, is backward, towards ignorance and imbe cility. View the course of the party for tb e past live or ten years, and see if it be not a pretty party to talk of progression and improvement. The live men of the times are in the Republican party, and from them let the people choose their officials, who will, indeed, be live and progressive men. COLUMBIA. Mn. EDITOR.—Some persons might con clude, by reading the articles advanced by some of the would-be leading copperheads, that Columbia was governed by a set of fools, and that the only individuals possessed of the least capacity and inclin ation to attend to its interests, were the embryo demigods, alias mechanics, who they so' much love to. worship. What a glorious regeneration would succeed the reign of such mechanics as they claim Mr. Crane, Mr. Patton and others to represent. Columbia wants men who can work, and will work, not men who, nine-tenths of their time, are out of town, and whose in terests at any moment may render it ex pedient to - take up their residence else where. Not more than two of the crowd of candidates pushed forward by George Young Co. are, in any sense,mechanics. The cry is all a sham,by whichthe citizens of Columbia should not allow themselves to be deceived. A goodplanforour citizens to adopt would be to put some of these -friends ot the "new dispensation" on trial for one year, before making them borough fathers, to see how many of the children towards whom they now manifest so much affection, would be taken up and housed, if not clothed and fed. Surely they ought to build three hundred houses in two weeks, before they apply for a reward. I doubt very much whether the bone and sinew of our borough- will be able to realize that such Wendel fnl skill is possess ed by our now order of mechanics. They will therefore actaccordingly. Yours, YANKEE. FinEND RAINIBO.—What is the matter? Grumble, grumble, grumble. Nothing but dark looks all over town. Everybody talks of gas and high prices. - "This •quarter is higher - titan ever." From present indications thetle aro fears of a raid upon the neighboring Oil Works.— 'Who is at fault? '' - ‘rhat is the matter with the meter ? How do our gas officers es timate? or dotheyonly guess? Only three 'months ago the meter of one ofour citizens was consulted, but it had undergone no change. The cionclusioriwas that no gas had been consumed during the quarter then ended, yet the fact was, more had beenbunied than usual. Where is the leak? DOUBLE DEE. OUR well-known fellow-citizen, Harry Whitby, says the Intelligencer, hearina . of Mr. Brown's contemplated departure for Europe, has written the following friendly letter to Dr. Mishler : Dn. Misrmatm—Dcar Sir: Learning that Mr. Brown is about to visit England for the purpose of establishing a Enropean depot for the sale of your Herb bitters,l beg leave to offer my testimony in favor of your pre paration. I am a native of Nottingham, England, and was for many years connect ed with Mr. T. Cooke's Equestrian Troupe, and subsequently proceeded to America with Vie same troupe, and have traveled over all the States of the Union, as well as South America and the. est Indies. In the • course of my business I have been subj ed to all the privations incident to inclem ent weather, change of water, climate, ktc., which eventually toldon a naturally strong constitution, and almost broke me clown in health. Returning to the United States, your preparation was brought to my notice, and at the solicitation of my friends, I com menced its use. The result has been the entire restoration of my health, and I am now as well and hearty as ever I was in my lith. This has been my own experience of the virtues of your preparation, and during my residence in your town for the last four years,l have had abundant oppor tunity of witnessing its effects on others. I can, therefore, confidently recommend, both from experience and observation, Mishler's Herb Bitters as the very best remedy in all diseases for which it is recom mended.
