DEATII OF .4. RESPECTED CITIZEN.—
Mr.... 1 1 7. 11. Elder, one of our most respect
ed citizens, and for a long time employed
as a clerk, at the Freight officeof the Penn
sylvania Railroad, in this place, died very
guddenly on Monday morning last. It ap
pears that he had, sometime ago, contract
ed asevere cold, which settled on his lungs ;
but notwithstanding this, he had bcen at
tending to his daily routine of duty regu
larly, up to Saturday evening last.
AVERAGE OF LlFE.—Persons, when
born, can expect about 39 years of life. If
they live one year, their chances arc good
fur 45; at 5 for 57 ; at 10 for 59; at 20 for 61;
at 30 for 04 ; at 40 for 67 ; at 50 for 71 : at 60
for 74; at 70 for SO; at SO for 90; at 90 for 93;
:it 100 for 102 ; for 103 we can promise not
quite one year more of life. We get this
from an old life insurance table of London.
Women average longer life than men, and
married people live longer than the single
ones.
A SAD ACCIDENT.-011 Thursday af•
ternoon, the 2Sth ult., Miriam Williams,
at little girl aged about eight years, daught
er of Edward Williams, while playing
about some cinder, near the Rolling Mill
of C. S. Maltby, Eig., was very severely
burned. The cinder 'having been but a
short time before deposited there, and still
being hot, the clothing of the child touch
ing it, caught fire, and in an instant her
whole body was wrapped in flames. Some
of the workmen in the mill hearing the
screams of the child, ran to her relief, but•
before assistance reached her she was seri
ously, if not fatally, burned.
SUPPLEE & Bao.--is an evidence of
the prosperity and superior workman
ship of our Columbia mechanics, we would
state that Messrs. Sapplee& Bro. are con
stantly receiving orders for some of their
new machinery. The stationary engines
built by them, are acquiring a world-wide
reputation. They are practical men, and
employ the best machinists, conse
quently they turn out superior work.—
They have just received an order from the
Mount Union Iron Company, of Hunting
don County. for a stationary engine, size
of cylinder 16 x 42, with gearing, (Sze., and
we learn it will be delivered in sixty clays.
NEW BUILDINGS TO BE PUT UP.—We
learn that a considerable number of new
buildings will be put up during the ap
proaching. season. Tohn B. Bachman will
finish an elegant mansion on Second street;
i.nd many houses of smaller proportions
will also be put up. We are glad to know
that come of our citizens have at length had
a little public spirit and energy instilled
into them, and that they aro now begin
ning to see the real want of Columbia--
inore houses to accommodate the present
population, as well, also, to induce strang
ers to settle amongst us. By a little effort
in this • direction, the population of our
town can be doubled in the course of a few
years, and new branches of business in
augurkted that will add to the general pros
perity of the commuity.
SET' J E ATAIN•"—A la drew
Johnson and the Senate of the United States
appear to be enjoying, at the present time,
a very interesting little game at ten-pins.
The President no sooner gets his pins nice
ly set up and properly arranged, than
along comes the Senate, and without the
slightest compunction of conscience,
knocks thorn all down, and thus disar
ranges the whole game. There was terri
ble "rattling among the dry bones" last
week, and among the official heads taken
off, we notice that of Matthew M. Strick
ler, Collector of Internal Revenue, and
Davis A. Brown, Assessor of this District.
Who is the next customer anxiously await
ing political execution ? Affairs are really
growing interesting. Hurry up another
subject, Andy ! Don't keep the party
waiting.
FASHIONS.—A new era is about to
glawn upon us. A. reform in the dress of
our wives and sisters is about to be estab
lished, which will be as comely and elegant
as it is sensible and desirable. No longer
p.m our side-walks to be swept with the
elegant and costly fabrics of the day, to the
disgust of the observer, and the great dis
comfort of the wearer. This greatly need
ed and gladly welcomed change is a con
traction of the crinoline to one-third of its
late fearful dimensions; and a consequent
shortening of dresses so that they will not
reach the ground. This reform is destined
soon to become universal. . It must at once
recommend itself to every intelligent lady,
both for its fitness and comfort, and its ele
gance tutd economy—which last considera
tion is no small one in these hard times.
STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.—
One of the most interesting meetings, on
Temperance, over held in this State, con
vened at Harrisburg, on Tuesday last. It
was composed of delegates representing
all the various Temperance organizations
and churches throughout Pennsylvania.
A temporary organization was effected by
the election of Gov. John W.
_Geary, as
President. Upon taking the Chair he
thanked the Convention for the high honor
conferred upon him, and pledged it his .
heartiest co-operation, in all efforts to
root out the curse of Intemperance; He
was happy to say that on the occasion of
his inauguration, there was no whisky
used. His administration - had just com
menced, and ho pledged the Convention
that he could and would perform his duties
without the use of a drop of intoxicating
liquor. (Cheers.) We should, everyw'iere,
encourage the weak, and break down the
domination of King Alcohol. We wore en
couraged by voices from the Capital of the
nation. The Congf ess ot' the United States
was moving in the matter, and he had the
glorious news to announce that Gen. U. S.
Grant was about to become a Son of Tem
perance. (Tremendous applause.) Let
us go forward in the good cause.
General Lewis Wagner, of Philadelphia,
was chosen as permanent President. The
greatest unanimity of sentiment prevailed.
A series of resolutions embodying the
platform upon which the Temperance Re
form is hereafter to be conducted, was re
ported by the Business Committee, of
which James Black, Eq., of Lancaster, is
Chairman, and after an earnest discussion,
with but slight amendment, unanimously
adopted.
Mr. H. R. Moser, of York, offered the
following:
Resolved, That the thanks of this Con
vention are due, and are hereby respect
fully tendered to our worthy Chief Magis
trate, Governor J. W. Geary, for his pres
ence and earnest participation in this Con
vection, and for the thrillingaddress,which
will long be remembered by the friends of
morality and temperance, in this Common
wealth.
This resolution was adopted unanimous
ly, without reference to the Committee.
Mr. Pasterfield offered resolutions pledg
ing the suffrages of temperance men only
to such candidates as are unqualifiedly in
favor of prohibitory liquor laws.
Mr. Power, of Crawford, offered a reso
lution in favor of a strict prohibitory
liquor law.
Rev. H. Wilson, offered a series of resolu
tions, requiring heavy securities of liquor
dealers,heavy fines for each case of drunk
enness for which they are responsible, and
in opposition to the Philadelphia liquor
law. -
General Patton offered a resolution that
the Legislature ought to enacta law making
the punishment for drunkeness as follows :
For the first offense, twenty-four hours
imprisonment; for the second offense,
forty-eight hours ; and the punishment for
each subsequent offense to be double that
of that immediately preceeding.
Tit RE-EttECTION OF TIIE COLUMBIA
BRIDGE A VERlTY.—Through the energy
and earnest exertion of our members from
Lancaster and York counties, the final
passage of a bill requiring the re-erection
of the Bridge on the old piers, has passed
both branches of the Legislature, and only
awaits the signature of the Governor—who
has signified his approval—to become a
The bill as passed, compels the Bridge
Company to commence its re-erection
within six months, and complete the same
within two years thereafter, thus giving
ample, time to procure timber and other
material for its re-construction. We are
pleased to say, that on the final passage
of the bill, the Penna. R. R. Company,
who ars) the real owners of the piers and
corporate franchises of the Bridge Com
pany, manifested but little opposition.
This will mollify to a great extent the
feelings entertained toward the Company,
lbr their tardiness in not commencing and
re-building it a year or two ago. Our
community are largely indebted to the
members of the Legislature, from our
County, fur the interest they took in the
passage of the bill, and particularly to
Gen. J. W. Fisher, and Hon. E. Billings
felt of the Senate, and Capt. E. D. Roath
and I-lon. D. G. Steacy of the House, for
their unwearied efforts in promoting and
securing its final passage. .
POLICZ CASES.— The following cases
wero before Samuel Evans, Esq. :
Larceny.—Jobn Irvin was arrested by
" Old Ironsides," for stealing, a brass
kettle from Mrs. Rawlins, on the day the
"American House" was on fire. John
alleges that he was
.drunk, and did not
know what he was doing. He accidently
found a German, named Brummer, who
deals in old iron, cte., and lives in an alley
near the Emmett Tavern, on Union street,
to whom he disposed of the kettle for fifty
cents. In dethult of bail, defendant was
committed to jail, to answer at April Ses
sions.
Vagrancy, dc.--Martin Zeigler, who
hails from nowhere, was arrested and com
mitted to jail for thirty days. If the prowl
ing vagabonds want to keep out of jail,
they had better avoid-this "burg."
ANsault and Battcry.—John .3fegichael,
of Washington, (b. c.) was brought up by
Constable Reis, for committing an assault
upon John'Miller, a youth of that place.
Defendant discharged upon payment of
costa.
RATS.—Spring and Warm weather are
approaching. Now is the time to rid your
selves of rats and mice, without creating
an offensive smell. Costar's Rat Exterm
inator is just the thing. It is sold by T. A.
Meyers, Apothecary, as are also a variety
of other rat poisons. Attend to it, ye
housekeepers.

The Post Office.
Din. EDITOR the last issue of your
paper, a correspondent, signing himself
Progress," "goes off at a furious , ate,"
because the Columbia Post Office is not
kept open until he sees fit to call for his
mail matter, in the evening. Let " Pro
gress " bear in mind that it was by the
consent Of a majority of our business men,
that the office was closed at 7 o'clock. Of
all the trains that arrive here, none carry
as little mail matter as the d;3O P. Di. train ;
some evenings but one or two letters being
received. Surely it is not necessary to
keep the office open until S o'clook to hand
out these one or two letters, Again, Mr.
Editor, if " Progress," (and a few others,)
instead c,f remaining so longin their offices
in the evening, would go. for their mail
matter, I think they would manage to get
it before 10 o'clock. If they have to, hold
their nightly caucus before they go, I think
that 8 and even ft o'clock would be too soon
to close the office. " Progress " seems to
think that as the tradesmen keep open
their places of business until 3 o'block, so
should the Post Office be kept open until
the same hour. _Strange reasoning, in
deed. As well might wo say, because
" Progress " and some others close their
workshops and places of business at 6
o'clock, so might the Post Office be closed
at the same hour. "Consistency, thou art
a jewel!"
• Progress" admits that the duties are
"monotonous and arduous," yet he thinks
the compensation received for services is
sufficient to " t•lieve the monotony, and
"drive dull care away." Ah ! indeed; a
wiso suggestion, but poorly applied; I
would suggest that as ft is impossible for
" Progress" to got his mail matter before
the ollir•e closes, that he will hand his name
to our worthy " Post Mistress" and her as
sistants, and that they will so manage it
that " Progress" will get . his mail before
the office closes, as no doubt the office will
he closed hereafter at 7 o'clock. I hope
" Progress" will see the effect of his com
munication, in the 'quaint old adage that
" an oak is not felled by one blow."
Mn. Enrrort:—A communication appear
ed in your paper, last week, over the sig
nature of "Progress," in reference to clos
ing the Post Office at 7 o'clock . P. M.; in
which he states thatit does not give gener
al satisfaction. I wish to state, that two
weeks before I closed the office at 7 P. M.,
I sent a paper around to the principal citi- -
zens and business men, to seo ifthey would
have any objections to closing the office at
the above named hour. Every one signed
the paper, willingly: There were a num
ber of the business men and citizens, who
I was unable to see, brit judging from
the number I had asked, I did notsuppose
that any one would have objections.
I would also state that there is plenty of
time to get the mail after the 64 P. M.,
train ar, ives, if persons wish to wait until
after that time; but I can see no use for
their doing so, as the mail on that train is
very small, not averaging twenty-five
letters, and which are always changed in
less than five minutes.
If "Progress" will state to me the diffi
culty, personally. I will satisfy him that
the office can be Losed at 7 as well as 8 P.
M., without much inconvenience to any
one. Respectfully Yours, ttc.,
Col'a, Feb. 2(, '67. M. J. FItY, P. Al.
MR. EDITOR:—In the last issue of your
cotemporary, I observed an article in re
lation to the fact published in the " Srv,"
of last weeic, of the consolidation of the
Susquehanna and Vigilant Fire Companies,
and that they had taken in with them a
portion of the Columbia Zonave Battalion.
Now they assert that the taking in of the
-
Zonaves is incorrect. Poor delu ded souls!
I wonder from whom did they obtain their
information? For the benefit of the authors
of this lie, I would refer them to the roll of
the Fire Company ' and if I mistake not,
they will fin that twenty-five or thirty of
the Zouaves have been elected members of
the Company. As regards making a polit
ical organization of the institution, it was
only a superstitious thought of the rene
gade who penned theartiele. The Zonaves
have not forgotten the scurrilous articles
written about them, sometime since. Tho
whole of the mutter is simply this: the
"cops" can't go the Zonaves—are they en
tirely too much for, them. They stink in
j
the nostrPs of a few of these " ohnnies,"
and could they prevent it, would not have
them in a single organization o 1 our town.

Ringing Church Bells.
F.D. Srv.-Much has been stiid lately about
the ringing of our church bells—indeed,
G. Y., Jr., (a peculiar significance in the
" Jr,") whines like a spaniel, on hearing
the solemn peals of our church bells, call
ing Christians to the house of God. I
know it grates harshly on the ears of un
believers; but the bells will still continue
to send forth their solemn sound. And if
G. Y., Jr., does not like it, he should go to
parts where they know not the religion of
our blessed Saviour. It would, probably,
suit his nature and disposition better.

" THE WORLD"
MITE attention of the public is invited to
I. the claims of "THE WORLD " as one
of the leading public journals of the coun
try. It is the chief organ of the Democra
tic Party of the United States, and the
foremost advocate of the immediate restor
ation of the Union. Its highest merit con
sists in its character as
AN ENTERPRISING AND TRUSTIVORTIIY
=EI!
The next year bids fair to be a more
critical one in the history of our tree insti
tutions than even any of the eventful ones
that have preceded it. The first requisite
for an intelligent judgment of public af
fairs is a full and authentic account of facts
as they transpire. These THE WORLD al
ways rims to give with conscientious ac
curacy, and with equal fulness and fidelity,
whether they make for or against its own
views of public policy. Prompt activity
in spreading before its readers every kind
of news in which any part of the public
takes an interest, is the first duty of a.
newspaper, and the facilities of the TILE
WORLD for discharging t'...is obligation are
unsurpassed by those of any journal in the
United States. W hatever else it may fail
ii;, it certainly will not fail to furnish the
news, nor to supply it with such prompti
tude, spirit, freshness, abundance, variety,
accuracy and candor, that no class of read
ers can amiss anything of interest which
they wish to find. THE WORLD will pub
li-h documents and arguments prepared
by political foes jmrst as freely as those pre
pared by political friends ; making its own
comments on them, of course, but never
suppressing or garbling them because they
are calculated to damage its own party.
Adverse arguments, which it cannot re
fute, it is content to leave to make their
full impression. THE Wonma adopts this
rule because it believes no other is honest ;
because it conceives that its first duty to
its readers is to keep them thoroughly in
formed on every passing subject of impor
tance. In politics, TirE WORLD will con
:in= to be the bold advocate of
' A LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY,
The unflinching champion of Freedom, Justice,
Order nod Constitutional Rights. The inspiration
of its politics is Freedom restrained by Justice; or,
to speak more strictly, Freedom pure and simple, in
the largest collective measure; the office of bus ice
being merely to protect freedom from encroach
ments; Freedom of the individual citizen in his
rights of thought, speech. religion and locomotion ;
in his Right to choose his own food and drink, in
spite of meddlosome temperance laws; in his Right
to make any money bargains he thinks proper, in
spite of foolish usury laws: in his Right to boy and
sell in all Mat kits, domestic and foreign, in spite of
unjust protective tariffs; in his Right to represen
tation in the legislative bodies which tax him in
spite of unconstitutional exclusions: Freedom of
collective citizens to assemble for discussion of
grievan , es; Freedom of all local communities to
inanage their local affairs without control interfer
ence; Freedom in every section of the country, I
from the arroFant and unconstitutional domimitlon
of other sections; this large and comprehensive
idea of Freedom sums up the politics of Tin. W ALD.
a Molt will never be found wanting to tins capital
interest of the county and of tho human race.
