SPIRIT UAL MEETINGS.--We learn that se ,, eral Spiritual meetings have been held in Columbia and vicinity, by Miss Josephine Orr, - a celebrated Medium— daughter of Dr. Orr, of Chester county. D. is said the meetings have been of a very interesting nature, and those who have been in attendance were highly pleased with the developments brought forth. CANE PUESENTATION.—Gen. Simon Cameron was presented with a beautiful gold headed vane, manut'adtured from black ebony wood, on Saturday last, by the employees or the Lochiel Iron Works, at Harrisburg. It was presented as a token of their high appreciation of his valuable services in favor of American industry, and had several appropriate mottoes engraved on it. THE 22ND or FEDRUAItY.—The 135th niversary of Washington's birthday was celebrated in Columbia by a Grata Mili tary Ball, held in Odd Fellows' Hall, by the Columbia Zen:lves. • The occasion Will long be .rememberef4 as one of the most pleasant and successful enter tainments that has yet been given this season.

N wsps.PEut Bone° wEits.—The Pitts burg Dispatch. makes the following hit at neivspape . r borrowers: " It is generally your small potato chap, who has the means but lacks the disposi tion—who would rather bore his good nc'ighbor to the point of distraction, than expend fifteen cents a week in a news paper. This clit;is is not a stall one, and it has representatives everywhere." Our community has a few of the some sort, and some even purloin their neigh bor's paper ft-Om the door-step, before the rightful owner has lied an opportunity of reading it. For shame ! when the " Spy" can be obtained for the low sum of $2.00 per year. . BETTER FOOD THAN BREAD Ott MEAT. —The experiments of a French chemist, show that certain cheeses contain from twenty-six to forty per cent. of nitrogen= •Ized , mittterS, which are considered the Most highly nutritive constituents of food. Consequently" those cheeses aro from twenty-five to a hundred per cent. more nutritive than bread or meat, which is set down at twenty-two per cent. of nitrogen. In the fatty elements for heating the body, cheese yields only to butter. In point of mineral nutrition, cheese is found pre eminent, containing seven to eight per cent. of ashes, where meat and bread con tain only one per cont. In fact, it is too rich for most perions, requiring strong digestive powers. It might be combined with other elements of-food, hOwever, to make an extremely valuable diet. ' THIRD ANNUAL SUPPEa. -Washing ton's birthday was celebrated by Shaw nee Encampment, No. 23, I. O. of O.'F., at their Hall, last evening, by their third an nual oyster supper. It was the most suc cessful entertainment, of the kind, that has yet taken place ; which reflects great credit upon the Committee having it in charge. They did their whole duty, likewise did the Patriarchs. It was indeed aguattreat -a feast which only the members of the . Camp, with their ladles, know how to got • up'. About' forty of the brethren, with their wives, 'sat down at the tables, and partook of the •" good things" set' before thern.--. After full justice had been done to the nu merous and excellently prepared dishes, an interchange of sentiment took place, and• a good time was,bad generally.

LOTION. —lt affords - us great pleasure to announce - t13.0 appointment of Wm. F. Lockard, Esq., to the responsible 'office of Superintendent of the Philadelphia Division of the Penn sylvania Railroad. • A wiser and better choice could not haN; - e been made. - He will, we learn, cater upon tiro duties of his othce dUring the ensuing month. Mr. Lockard recently held the position ofAssistant Train - Master, on both branches of the Pennsylvania Railroad, between Lancaster and Harrisburg.' His - close and undivided attention to that oilice has re commended him to the Directors; and while ho will most ably fill the more ele vated position, we think it cvill li difficult to replace him in the responsible ono he now .vacates. He has been long identified' with rail roads; his first association with them corn-: ntenced as brakeman on the old Bingham: Line, twenty years ago. Mr. Lockard un derstands the workings of the business and 'the public wants, more fully than any other man; and he has the lasting regard of all who have had intercourse with him, as a man of strict probity, honor and fair ness in all his dealings. His efficiency and fidelity, to the interest of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company— as dell as the old State Road—by which he has been employed, in faithfully discharg ing the duties required, in every- position in which he has been placed, as an em ployee or officer; has gradually -been re warded 'by promotion; until his many friends, the employees, and the business community; with which. he has for so ninny years had intercourse have the gratifica tion to know that this lastpromotion could not have been - conferred upon any officer at the road possessing larger capabilities or experience. We regret to say that the duties or thr office will require the removal of Al.r. Lockard and fitmily to Philadel phia.. In conclusion we are proud to say, that Columbia has produced more` eminent railroad men than any other town in the United States. We may mention the name of Col. Thomas A. Scott, first Vice President of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, whose comprehensive abilities as a railroad man is known throughout the whole country; indeed the same may be said of G. C. Franciscus, J. J. Houston, (E. J. Sneeder, and Samuel D. Young, dec'd,) 11. H. Houston, Wm. F. Lockard, and others. TUE MODEL SEIVING JLACIIIN E.— Prominent among the mechanical triumphs of this most ingenious ago, common hon esty compels us to notice the Empire Sew ing Machine, commended as justly styled perfection itself. Useful as have been the various sewing machines, from time to time presented to the public, each one of them has been cursed with sonic radical defect, which detracts from general utility. Warned by the exPerience ()rids predeces sors, the inventor of the Empire Machine has produced an instrument, combining all the advantages ‘vhieli others are vaunted, and obvi tting every defect which can be attributed to them by the most fas tidious critic. • The Empire Machine is a marvellous combination of simplicity, economy and pzrfoct workmanship, being durable, tree fiom liability to get out of circler, noiseless, and easy of operation. Its mechanical contrivance is such as to secure stability, freedom from accident, and accuracy as to workmanship. Be the use of the patent ed shuttle an,l straight needle, it ina'iies at stitch, which can neither rip nor ravel, while, at the same time, it can operatvper ,octly 'rty,on every srecCes of material !from lea , lter to cambric, with threads of cotton, linen or silk, from the finest to the coarsest number. As the Empire Machine is gradually supplanting its more antique rivals, no one in want of a useful instrument of this description, be he or site tailor, coach maker, dressmaker or seamstress, can do otherwise than secure one of these eco nomical And inhnitable machines, suited alike for family and manufacturing pur poses. The Mlle?, of the Empire Manufac turing. Co. is at No. 53G Broadway, New York - City, where they are now supplying these Empire Machines at prices tar below the real value of the instruments.—Neto York Herald. TUE EVIL OF LATE LlOLtriS.—An eminent author, in a treatise on family worship, has said I hat the present custom of having our hours of business and meals later than oar lathers, especially late even ing visits, whether to our friends or pub lic placc, mire mischievous to personal and family order and godliness. It is true, and by no means the whole truth. Keep ing late hours is a pernicious practice, physically and intellectually, as well ac morally. The old adage is correct, which assumes health, wealth, and wisdom. to be dependent largely upon curly retiring and early rising. Fashionable dissipation in the shape of balls, parties, and so forth, with the attendent loss of sleep, and eat ing at irregular intervals, is responsible for a vast proportion of the ailments that afflict society, including lassitude, dyspep sia, consumption, and innumerable other complaints. Persistence in such. a mode of living, for a single season, is enough to impair the most robust health, and bring a pallor to the rosiest cheek. CONSOLIDATION OF EIRE COMPANIES. —The Vigilant and Susquehanna fire com panies have consolidated; taking in with them a portion of- the Columbia Zottave Battalion. A me* . ting was held, at the rooms of the " Susquehanna," on Thurs day evening last, and elected the follow ing officers :—Abram Bruner, jr., Presi dent ; Jos. Hogentogler, Vice President, A. J. Kauffman, Secretary; George Bogle, Treasurer; C. S. Kauffman, J. B. Bach man, and T. R. Supplee, Trustees. A. Bruner, jr., J. B. Bachman, A. J. Kauffman, J. G. Hess, and H. S. Hershey, were appointed a Committee to revise the by-laws. Adjourned, to meet this (Satur day) evening. at 7 o'clock, at the Hall of the Vigilant Fire Company. PRUNE YOUR. GRAPE gentleman who pays considerable atten tion to the culture of grapes says that grape - vines should be pruned during the month of February. In trimming 'cut away two thirds of the length of lastyear's growth, and all straggling, spindling vines. Don't be afraid of cutting too closely. If you desire a good clop of this luscious fruit attend to the pruning of your vines • at once. • • A FEARFUL EPIDEMIC is raging in our midst; daily are its victims carried off, after an attack, he symptoms of which aro easily detectod. Prolonged in some cases for long years, in others afew short months, it generally culminates in matrimony.— This disease' may be classed as incurable, but for the cure and prevention of almost any'other complaint of humanity,llleyers, the - Apothecary, at Odd Fellows' Hall, can furnish'a remedy:, To those in need we would say that a call at his counter rarely pins to produCe the desired article. ; THRDE RULES FOR READERS.—First —.Finish each word. We use the phrase in the sense of a watchmaker or jeweler: The difference between two.articles, which at a little distance looks much the same, all lies in the finish. Each wheel in a watch must be thoroughly finished; and so each word in the sentence must be pro n'unced. ,This will make reading both pleasant and audible. Careful Pronuncia tion is more important than noise. Some time ago we heard a person make a speech in a' large hall; he spoke .distinctly, and we heard every word; unibrtunately he became' warm in his subject and spoke loudly and energetically, and immediately his speech became an inarticulate noise., Secondly—Do not drop the voice at the end of the sentence. Simple as this rule may seem, it is one of the most necessary to enforce. If the whole of the sentence be audible except the conclusion, the passage read becomes discontinuous, a series cf intelligible ,portions inteispersed with blanks. Confusion, of necessity, attaches to the whole. Thirdly—AlWays read from a full chest. The reeding voice should always be a pont plete voce de petto; and the chest, which is truly the wind chest of the human organ, should never be exhausted. This is as int portant for the speaker as for the bearers, and for the hearers as for the speaker." Tho voice is delivered. with ease, and becomes agreeable.. Singers know well the impor tance, indeed the necessity, -of "taking breath at proper places. The same thing is important for reading'f in a large build ing; attention to this natter indispen sable. PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD CONDLICT oRS.—The Pittsburgh Commercial says the Conductors on the Western division of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad have 're ceived handsome vouchers,and are set down as gentlemen of irreproachable character; polite, attentive and honest. This is all very well Mr. CommerciaZ, but you overlooked the fact of us having equally as good, honest and attentive Con ductors on the Eastern dtvison of the road as the Western. Our Conductors, too, have passed through the searching ordeal inaugurated by the Chicago Detective, Pinkerton, (who should never •be allowed to travel on the Penna. Central,) and came out without a blemish. Our Lancaster train has Conductors and patrons which will compare favorably with any other passenger train in the world. The Conductors are polite, gei.tle manly and attentive to ladies and children placed in their charge; and they, too, have received the " handsome' vouchers."— These vouchers are a donation of one hundred dollars for services o :er and above regular salaries. They were order ed by the Board of Directors in considera tion of accuracy and faithfulty-ss in the discharge of their duties as passenger Con ductors. Our Conductors who have received this high compliment, on this division of the road, aro 11. N. Zook, (formerly of the Lancaster train,) Ed. Chase, (Judge,) John Michael, Elias J. finger, and Thomas Can ningharn. There play be others, but we I cannot now think of their names. Mrt. observed an article in the Examiner tf Herald or the 16th inst., signed "Columbia," censuring Central Fisher, in relation to his vote agttb.st viving the Charter of the Ceimensville Railroad. It cannot be expected that Con. FiSh;:i,,f undertake to kick every cur that oses to bark or snarl at hiln,—but wil t l vote Vit.- or ii,rtinst measures, as the case may be which will subserve the real in terest of our Commonwealth and his con stituency; hence, we believe his voting against - the revival of this Clismr, largely promotes the interest or our State. " Columbia" certainly has •not a com prehensive nor intelligent understanding of the interest at issue, else he wishes Co confer upon the City of a neighboring State. the trade and commerce developed by a road traversing nearly 'the entire width of our State, which legitimately be longs to our own State and i'hiladelphia. It' we under...hind the question at issue, it is substantially this: Thu Company owning the Railroad front Pittsburg to Connellsville, will, in the event or the re vival or the Charter asked tbr, make over tures to the Baltimore and Ohio It. It. Co., in which event, a connection will be made front Connellsville to the Potomac, connec ting with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and directing the trade or its whole line through our State to Baltimore, instead of Efforts are now being matio by promi nent rail road men, to make railroad con nections from Wrightsville, and a through route to Pittsburg yia Connellsville, thus securing the trade developed by this road to Philadelphia, which'should be a matter of just pride t any son of our glorious old Commonwealth, who is not recreant to her true interests and the grand destiny which awaits her. PENNSYLVANIA.. TAXES: TAXES:: TA :ES!!! By a resolution adopted at the last meet leg of our Town Council, the Solicitor of the Borough is to draw up a bill to be pre sented for enactment, by our State Legis lature, authorizing the exceeding to borrow a sum of money not exceeding $lOO,OOO, to lie expended in opening streets, and for other public bnprovetnents. This looks like do ng business, and it may be well enough for the tax-payers and property holders, to consider the magncent scale upon which our Borough is to be un proved, and our annual taxes increased—for what and by whom? A matter ofso much im portance as this, should at least have the sanction of a majority of our citizens, and those who will be compelled to pay the money ; thervfore, they have a right to be consulted. When t.ie members of the Council were eleeted, there was no propo sition for borrow lin money,to this amount, before the people." It never was dreamed of, and it is hoped that before the. Legisla ture will pass such a bill, the remon strances of the tax-payers of Columbia will be attentively heard and considered. Q. ror the sp3 Coluntbla Post °Mee. ' Earrou:—The closing of the Post °thee at 7 o'clock P. IL, does not give general satisfaction, neither can I see the cessity for the change from 8 to 7 o'clock, P, while our tradesmen keep open their stores until the former hour. - . The duties of the office, I admit, are rnonoteuous and arduous. But the cora• pensation received for the services of Post Master and clerks, are, I presume, suffi ciently renumerative to afford public con venience. • The room in which the office is located, is as unfavorable for the purpose, as well can be conceived. But of this I desire to make no complaint at present, but sim ply request that "the office be kept open until S o'clock, P. M., giving proper time and facility for receiving mail matter by the 64 o'clock P. M. train. LlTER_llnif NOTICES.
