IMPORTANT MEETING.--A meeting of citizens will be held at the Town Hall, this Saturday evening, at 7 o'clock, to adopt measures for the aid of the poor. In our town as in others, there have al ways been, to n greater or less extent, those who suffer from poverty, and to whom the " cold and cruel winter" comes distress fully. The pinchings ofpoverty are severe, 'but the sufferers are, perhaps, "too noble to beg." There was a time while our bravo boys were away'doing battle, that those at home helped sustain, with christian charity and zeal. the wives nod children of these bravo boys. That was commendable. There are to-day some who need help—too poor to buy, they must needs depend upon public charity. Seek these and minister to their wants ; make them comfortable in the necessaries of life. Would it not he a good. plan to establish an association whose ob ject would be the cart, of those poor people who are worthy assistance:? Remember the needy, and do not forget that "he who giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lox d." REPUBLICAN NOMINATION POR BOlt °you OFFICERS.—A meeting of the Republi cans of the Borough, was held in the Town Hall on Thursday evening last, to settle a ticket to be voted for at the Borough elec tion on 'Monday next.

It was the largest meeting of the kind, ever held in this Borough, and, passed off very harmoniously ; though there arc a few Republicans who seem dissatisfied with the ticket. Bat we hope every true Union Republican will vote the straight-out ticket, otherwise they will suffer an in glorious defeat by the Copperheads, who are scheming, for the overthrow of the Reptillican party in Columbia. T E WEEK OF PRAYEEL—It is well known, perhaps, to all religious persons, that: the first week of the year is observed by Christians of various denominations, as a season for special prayer and mutual edification. The Union Meetings held on this occasion, last year, in the Methodist, Presbyterian and Lutheran Churches, were attended with so much interest and profit to our people, that we consider it both ex pedient and desirable to improve " the week of prayer" in the same manner, at the present time. The pastors and mem bers of the different churches will partici pate in the services, and we hopo to render this occasion eminently profitable and satisfactory to all who may be pleased to attend our meetings. The following programme will ho strictly adhered to, in every respect : SUNDAY, Jan. s.—Prosbyterian Chn rub. Subject :—" The Person, Work, and King dom of our Lord Jesus Christ.'.'

Blankets cheaper than ever. - Red, white and yellow Flannels, all wool, at 25 cents, and many other special bargains to be had. only at TnE GOOSE BONE.—From time imme morial, as is generally known, many wor thy persons have regarded a goose bone ns possessing some peculiar and mysterious power divining the character of weather that would prevail for months ahead. Whether this ancient belief has any foundation in fact or not, the believers in its prophetic capacity never waver iii their firm faith ; and year after year the hone is carefully ex amined to determine what kind of weather will be experienced during the winter. Several members of a farmers' club have experienced a desire to test the prediction made by this strange oracle, and one was brought to the club room, which predicted that we are to have an exceedingly cold and dry January and February, but very wet March. Oar readers can make a note of this, and ascertain for themselves• whether the "goose Is right" this time. TuE NEW YEAR.—How fast the years fleet away ! How quickly they follow each other to the shadowy regions of the great, mysterious past! It seems but as yester day since we last wished our readers a happy new year, and one can scarcely realize the fact that, since then, this planet of ours has made its annual circuit round the great sun—that twelve moons have come and gone—that the world is a year older. now taunt the time appears, now that it is pay,t, yet the mind shrinks from the mighty thought of the influence it has exercised on the race of man; the changes it has wrot,ght in States and Kingdoms, and Empires; and, too, in the bosom of families, in the little home-circles into which the human. tinnily- is sub-divided the round world through. It was not a year of war, this year of 1867, like some of its im mediate predecessors ; but, if the earth was not shaken by the tramp of mighty armies, the peace of the world was disturbed by " rumors of war," the growling of the gathering storm that may any day break over the Nations. Renders of the riorAnt- DTA SPY, we will hope that all of you may be spared to see this yelir and many an other run their course. MASONIC FESTIVAL.—St. John the Evangelist's day —Friday evening, the 27th of December—was duly celebrated by the Masonic fraternity of Columbia, by par taking of a grand banquet, served up by Mr. Philip Dietrich, at the Bellevue House. The dining hall was most handsomely dec orated, and the dazzling beauty of the Christmas tree was greatly admired and highly appreciated by the brethren. The tables were richly and tastefully laid, and displayed the material for a most inviting feast. Everything that the appetite could crave was there, and everything of the very best and in great abundance. It was the most successful and interesting festival Co lumbia. Lodge ,has ever participated in. The most important feature of the evening was the presentation of a handsome and exquisitely engraved Maltese Cross, to the retiring Worshipful Master, A. J. ICamlf man, Esq., as a token of respect and esteem of the brethren, and their approbation of the administration of the Master, who has presided over the Lodge constantly since St. John's Day, 18(4. It - was received by M. North, Esq.; who intidlitiii - elbiluent and appropriate speech,to which Mr. Kauff man replied in his usual happy strain, thanking the brethren for the beautiful and unexpected gift, and assuring them that in future years ho would look back, if spared, to this, as one of the most pleasing reminis cences of his likf, coupled with the assur ance that he should ever endeavor to wear their valuable present with pleasure to him self and honor to the donors. Speeches were also made by D. F. Griffith and others; songs sang, toasts drank, etc. Altogether the wholeadhir was particularly happy and eminently creditable to the brethren of the mystic tie. It was truly a gland celebra tion of St. John the Evangeligt's Day. In this connection it may be proper to observe that two' St. Johns' Days are cele brated by this order—Juno 24th tutu Decem ber 27th ; the former " St. John the Bap tist's" and the latter "St: John the Evan gelist's" Day. Masonic Lodges, in ancient times, were dedicated to King Solomon. Tradition informs us that they were thus dedicated from the building oldie bust tem ple at Jerusalem to the Babylonian captivity. From thatti in e to di° coming of the Messiah, they were dedicated to Zerubbabel, the builder of the second temple ; and. from that time to the final destruction of the temple by Titus, in the reign of the Empe ror Vespasian, they were dedicated to St. John the Baptist. Owing to the ninny massacres and disor ders which attended that memorable event, Freemasonry full very much into decay. Many of the lodges were broken up, and but few could meet with sufficient members to constitute their legality. Under these Circumstances a general meeting of the craft was held in the city of Benjamin,when it wakobserved that the reason for the de cline Vl' Masonry was the want of a Grand Master to direct its affairs. They, there fore, deputed seven of their most eminent members to wait upon St. John the Evan gelist, who was ut that time Bishop of Ephesus, to take the office of Grand Mas ter. He returned for answer that though well stricken in years (being upward of ninety,) yet having been in the early part of his life initiated into Masonry, be would take upon himself that office. lie did so, and completed by his learning what St. John the Baptist had accomplished by his zeal. ~.I.fter his decease the Christian Lodges were dedicated to him and St. John the Baptist, both of them being regarded as eminent Christian patrons of Masonry. Since then Masonry has ever celebrated the 24th of June in commemoration of St. John the Baptist, and the 27th of Decem ber in commemoration of St. John the Evangelist.

It seems that the parties determined to have a " high old time" in ushering in the new year, and in order to make things lively. most of them secured guns and pistols.

Between three and four o'clock, ou new year morning, the party concluded to sslute the landlady of one of the hotels at the Basin, which was to end their spree. After firing a salute under the window of the hostess of the "Mount Vernon Hotel," they " legend up" and started for Klines. When about midway between Zinks and Klines, one of the party placed a gun with in a few feet of the face of the corn plainent (who was standing in the entry of a house, conversing , with a lady he had escorted home from the firemen's ball,) and fired.

The house and lot of ground of Jacob Brubaker, Sr., on the Columbia turnpike, near Hess' tavern, in Manor twp., tins been sold to Benjamin Bowers, for $1,225. The forthcoming annual statement of the receipts and expenditures of Lancaster county, will show that the Commissioners have, during the year ended, paid MT $55,- 000 of the debt of the county. At the be gining of the fiscal year the indebtedness was $205,000. This has been reduced to $130,000. Independent of this reduction of the permanent debt, all the expenses for the erection of the new hospital building and the repairs ht the old have been paid, amounting in the aggregate to $41,000, of which $29,000 was for the new lonilding,and sl2,ooo for the repairs at the old one. From this it will be seen that $90,000 over the or dinary expenses of former years, was paid during the year just closed. In conse quence of this decrease in the county's in debtedness, the rate of tax has been re duced from five to two and a half mills on each dollar of tho property valuation. (For the "Sry."] The Poor. Whilst the people are enjoying the festiv ities of the holiday season, we should not forget that we have among us the suffering poor, who need help to brave the storms of winter. That there is now in our town much suffering, may not be generally known, but we have seen enough during the week past, to know that there aro among us many families who are in a suf fering and destitute condition. Our rolling mills having stopped and work scarce, many have spent their last cent, and we thrown upon the charity of the public. Is there no help for these poor unfortunates ? Many among us, have, during the year past accumulated wealth, and others there are, who, less wealthy, are yet able to ex tend a helping hand to the needy. Let there be u public meeting called, and a committee appointed to procure funds for the aid of the poor among us; and every oar tLa. for.others'woes• give as the Lord bath prospered — them. He that giveth to the poor lendetli to the Lord," is a precept it might be well for all of us to ponder. Our fellow beings are suf fering flit the common necessaries of life, whilst we have enough and to spare. 'Many amities have no coal, wood, or cal abley, and are depending upon the little they can gather from kind-hearted neigh bors. Roo have seen families with the last piece of coal in the stove, and the last morsel of bread eagerly eaten up, while by the parents' side were little children cold and hungry, appealing by their looks anti words for something to cat, when there was none to ~eive. It is a sad sight to see such scenes, and yet we know there is more than One place in our town where such scenes may be seen. Could we all but look into the abodes of want and poverty, as some of us have done, there would be from every feel-. ing heart a generous contribution for the relief of the needy. And then what a satis faction to know, that some sorrowing. troubled heart has been made glad ; and some comfortless home made happy. It may seem a sacrifice to give to the poor —and perchance some unworthy one may get a portion of your offering—but could you see the tear of joy, and hear the iViliSp ered "God hiess you" come from grateful hearts ; and see what a change has made in homes but a few hours before sad and dreary ; we might, then understand the Words of Divine Truth, " It is more blessed' to give than to receive." The demand 11)1• aid is 131,00111 i lILT imperi ative, and something' mast be done, and that soon. Let our Churches move in this matter, let the public move in concert with them ' mid let there be an organized effort for the relief or these people—and although but a feeble instrument, we promise the help:lnd co-operation of [For the STY.] Take Care of the Poor.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE FARMERS' MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, at the Annual Meeting of Members, on Saturday, the 28th day of December, A.D., 1067. The Directors, In summing up the record of theirproceedings during the year now drawing to a close, experience no slight gratification in being able to announce to the Company that the losses during the period alluded to, have been less than those of the preceding year, although the amount of money paid exceeds Dud which was paid during the last year. This is occasioned by the fact that two of the largest tires that hap pened during the former year. occurred near the close of the year, and lied not been settled for at the date of the last report. A reference to that report, shows that, at that time the Company was indebted to Samuel Ifess and Martin J. Mylin, for losses sustained by them, the sum of $2,&50. That money has been paid during the present year, and is ineluded in this account. It will also he observed that the amount insured by this Company is steadily increasing, and has been considerably augmented during t be current. year showing conclusively that there is no dim inution of confidence on the part of the public, ncr any dissatisfaction with Ole manner in which the ninths of the Company have been conducted. The first tire of any magnitude, which the Di rectors feel called upon to notice, occurred in the dwelling, house of Martin K. Myth', in West Lampeter township, on the night ti.n i y of the 1 ~s 51.tk 1, 0 ( f April; the house was entirely , the greater part of his furniture. The fire was supposed to be accidental. It originated in the kitchemattaeliell to the house, but how or where, Is not certainly known. This is the saute Indi vid nal whose barn and outbuildings were burned on the 10111 of December last, exhibiting a series of misfortunes by tire, seldom encountered by - One person. The next serious accident by lire, occurred in the barn of Abraham Rohrer. of Manhelm town ship, which was struck by lightning, on the %tit of August, and wits entirely consumed, together with the contents, owned by the tenonl, (Daniel Dietrich,) also insured. The last Ilre during the closing year, happened in the wash house and hog sty of Henry ICeesy. of West Lampeter twp., on the morning of the lath ult. The two build ings were attached together, and situated but a few yards front the dwelling house, which was in inuninent danger, but was saved by tile exertions of the neighbors who assembled when the alarm was given. The origin of the Me is unknown, but supposed to be the work of an incendiary. In all the :Move cases, the Directors paid and agreed to pay three-fourths of the amount of the actual damage reported by the appraisers, in ac cordance with the rules and By-laws of the Corn- Pliny, and in each case their report was accepted by tile sufferers, so that no difliculty was experi enced in malting settlement. Messrs. Rohrer nail Messy have not been paid, there not being sufficient Muds in the Treasury to liquidate their In MrACcesy , s case, the aceldent, occur red so recently, that the time which the By-laws allow the Directors to compensate losses„lias not expired. and, therefore, he has no legal shah ill on the Company at the present Inn°. All arrange ment has been made with Rohrer, in which he has consented to wait for his money until near the first of April. Upon the new Board of Director,: the duty of providing funds for the payment of the present and prospective debts of the Company devolves either by borrowing money or levying a tax. Prudence and good policy - will probably indicate a resort to the latter expedient. In addition to the casualties alluded to,a 11010 - her of si11:111 tires occurred, oecasioning partial losses, which have been paid by the lAireetois. Some of hum were of a very serious <diameter, and lint fin: timely dlseovery.lidght have entailed heavy losses on both the ,nvitels and the Com pany.
