Brethren Church, on to-morrow (Sabbaih)
at 10 o'clock A. M. Services in the evening

of the World, and the legitimate means for

narrow Christian charities ; but with a cor
dial good will invite every friend of Jesus,
" high or low," " rich or poor," to come up
to the help of the Lord—" to the help of the
Lord against the mighty."
W. S. H. linvs, Pastor.
CHARITY BALL.—We announced in our
last issue, that a ball to be given by the
Sons of Malta, was on the tapis. . We are
now able to state that said ball will take
place on Thursday evening, 23rd inst. The
proceeds will be appropriated to charitable
objects in our borough. This unique in
stitution is proverbial wherever it is known
to exist, for bestowing charity with a boun
tiful hand.. There will be no ladies' invi
tations issued, as the custom in vogue now
is for every gentleman who holds a ticket,
to bring one or more ladies. It promises
to be one of the finest entertainments of the
kind ever given in Columbia, and to those
who do not wish to " trip the light fantas
tic toe," other amusements ♦vill be furnish
ed. None admitted except those holding
tickets. It is intimated that there will be a
parade of the "Sons" at "low twelve," and
in the beautiful costume of the order, with
banners and music.
EIGHTH OE JANUARY.—The anniver
sary of the Battle of New Orleans occurred
on Wednesday last, the Bth inst. The battle
of New Orleans was fought January Bth,
1815, fifty three years ago.
Twelve thousand British troops, com
manded by Sir Edward Packingham,stortn
ed. the American entrenchments, defended
chiefly by militia under Gen. Jackson, and
were repulsed with great loss. It has not
been one of the great festival days in our
political calender. In President Jackson's
time, -it always attracted considerable
notice among his political friends as the
anniversary of his greatest military success.
The battle was fought after peace had been
concluded between England and America,
bat before the news reached this country.
There would have been opportunity to ply
the telegraph in the interests of peace and
huimppity, which.nvoatd havecmore than
rewarded the anxiety, skill and money,
which it has cost. This year the .day at
tracted little attention.
YORK COUNTY ITEMS;—RCV. J. J.
Lane, pastor of the Presbyterian Church
of Wrightsville, has been unanimously
called to the Chestnut Grove Presbyterian
Church, near Baltimore, Md.
On Saturday last, baskets full of choice
butter were disposed of at 35 cents per
pound, in York, and did not sell very read
ily at that figure at the close of the market,
and a week before it sold at 50 cents.
The new furnace, at Wrightsville, was
put in " on Wednesdaylust.
- On Monday afternoon last, between three
and four o'clock, the steam 'boiler, in the
distillery of Abraham S. Thestand, Esq.,
situated on the Wrightsville railroad, about
six miles from York, in Helium township,
exploded, instantly killing the distiller,
Henry Hake, and seriously injuring a man
named Shultz, an employee of Mr. Hiestand.
An office of the Atlantic ...tz Pacific Tele
graph Company is to be opened in the
Railroad office building, at Wrighttriville.
Several of the clergymen of Hanover,
appear to have been very - fortunate on
Christmas. A number of the friends of
Rev. Wrn. K. Zieber, pastor of the German
Reformed -Church, on Broadway avenue,
presented that gentleman with a purse con
taining as a token of'their regard for
him. The liberal donation was a perfect
surprise, and must have made glad the
heart of the faithful minister. Rev. M. J.
Allernan, pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran
Church, on Carlisle street, was presented
with a purse containing over sloo, a barrel
of dour, sot of chinaware, three turkeys,
ac., by a number of his friends. This kind
remembrance cannot fail to unite more
closely the shepherds: and their flocks in
the bonds of Christian fellowship. Rev.
Samuel Yingling, pastor of St. Matthew's
Lutheran Church, on Chestnut street, was
presented with the handsome sum of 8133,
on New Year's Day, by_the members of his
congregation. No individuals are more
deserving of such gifts than the laboring
pastor of a congregation.

Clark, of Salisbury twp., retiring. The
Board now consists of Daniel M. Eby, of
Bart; George W. Hensel, of Eden; and
Samuel Shoch, of Columbia.
BOROUGH ELECTION.—The following
is the result of the borough election, held
on Monday last. It will be seen that the
Copperheads have partially , elected their
ticket. This is no victory for the Copper
head party in Columbia, as there was a
split among the Republicans—agreat many
of them would not vote the regularly set
tled ticket, and the sore-heads fusing with
the Democrats; consequently they elected
nearly all their ticket. Money was as free
as water, the Copperheads even paying
the taxes of some of the free-holders to in
duce them to vote. It was an excitable
election on the part of the Copperheads.
The leading Republicans did not seem to
manifest much interest. The split seemed to
be on account of the Chief Burgess, who, it
appears, has made himself odious to a por
tion of our community, and to Railroad
companies, because he enforced the laws
of the borough,

- [For the "Sim")
TREE CEMETERY.
MR. EDITO'n:—So fair, so generous and
so important; are all the remarks of a new
Editor, (and new School Director, too, heaven
save the mark ! ) that we must all recelvo
them meekly and without reply. As to his
desire to establish his cheap cemetery,
where " lots ten feet square will cost fifty
cents," and thus, (each lot affording sepul
ture for ton,) where men can be buried for
five cents a piece—at a rate cheaper than
blind puppies drowned in a puddle—we
have no desire to interfere with his specula
tion. Let him go ahead ! Let him take his
dead or his living as far as he chooses from
town, but let him suffer other people to ex-
orcise their tastes, and have a right to their
opinions. And, as he is not counted upon
for a large proportion of the remarkable out
lay of "seven hundred dollars an acre,"
for ground which they desire, he m 23: sur
vive his solicitude for such unaccountable
prodigality. Now with regard to some of
the very remarkable proceedings of our
late Council," (he says) Ist. That "it is
proposed to take a portion of our streets," as
laid down in the plan of the borough: This
is not so—on a map of a proposed extension
of the town, one street, (7th street that is
to be,) was laid down as extending to the
fence of the cemetery—one-half square
south of Locust street, only ; no other
" portion of our streets" is taken. No one
had proposed, and no resident of our bor
ough who had any care for the living (Ms
living I ought to say) or regard for the dead,
would- dare to propose to run the street
through the cemetery ; against such atrocity
an express law of the State provides. So
the request granted by Councils, was, that
this one street should terminate half a
square away from the cemetery ; no other
streets are affected by the proposition.
and. It is very remarkable that this action
was had at a last regular meeting of Conn
cils—not at all. It had been approved by
all the members of Councils individually,
and it had been presented and discussed at
a previous meeting; it had been referred to
a committee for further consideration,
which committee then reported, and the
plan was approved. 3rd. It is very re
markable that two of the members of Coun
cils should approve of this proposition affkr
they had signed it themselves !
Has a Councilman' no right asa-cikk;en_s?
Does ho surrender his interest in the pros
perity of the town by being chosen to look
to its interests? Dare he join none in re
questing or suggesting imnprovement?
As to the last remarkable matter, that
these proceedings were not published be
fore they were rendered so remarkable by
this remarkable school director; I must
confess it will require some newer scholar
of some new public school, perhaps, to
account for that most remarkable remark-
ability.
It is not alleged, I believe, that there is
anything • very remarkably unsatisfactory
in the terms of the petition, and the names
appended to it are but a few of the good
citizens of •the place, who are willing to
place their-judgment against that of their
refined critic, as to what and whore is
"a Proper place" to bury their dead. -1`

OP THE
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD,
RUNNING WEST FROM OMAHA
ACROSS TILE CONTINENT,
STRAWBERRIES
This brings the line to the eastern base of the
Rocky Mountains, and it is expected that the
track ♦rill be laid thirty miles further, to Evans
rasa, the highest point on the road, by January.
The maximum grade from the foot of the moun
tains to the summit is but eighty feet to the mile
while that of many eastern roads is over one
hundred. 'Work in the rock-cuttings on the
western slope will continue through the winter,
and there is now no reason to doubt that the en
tire line to the Pacific will be open for business
in ]B7O.
The means provided for the construction of
this Great National Work are ample. The Unit
ed States grants its Six Per Cent. Bonds at the
rate of from 510,000 to $45,000 per mile, for which
it takes a .second lien as security, and receives pay
ment to a large, if not to the full extent of Sts
claim in services. These - Bonds are Issued as
each twenty-mile section Is finished, and after it
has been examined by United States Commis
sioners and pronounced to be in all respects a
drst-cisss road, thoroughly supplied with depots,
repair-shops, stations, and all toe necessary roll
ing stock and other equipments.
The United States also makes a donation of
12,800 acres of land to the mile, which will be a
source of large revenue to the Company. Much
of tills land M the Platte Valley is among the
most fertile in the world, and other large por
tions are covered with heavy pine forests, and
abound in coal of the best quality.
The Company is also authorized to issue its
own First Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal
to the issue of the Government, and no more.
Hon. E. D. Morgan:and lion. Oalzcs Ames are
Trustees for the Bondholders, and deliver the
Bonds to the Company only as the work pro
greases, so that they always represent an actual
and productive value.
The authorized capital of the Company Ls One
Hundred Million Dollars, of which over dye
millions have been paid in upon the work alrea
dy done.
EARNINGS OP VIE COMPANY.
At present, the profits of the Company are de
rived only from its local traffic, hut this is alrea
dy much more than sufficient to pay the interest
ou all the Bonds the Company Lan issue, If not
another mile were built. It is not doubted that
when the road is completed the through traffic
of the only line connecting The Atlantic and Pa
cific States - will be large beyond precedent, and,
as there will be no competition, It can always be
done at profitable rates.
It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Rail
road Is, In fact, a Government Work, built under the
supervision of Government officers., and to a
large extent with Government money, and that,
its.Sonds are !Parted made? Government direc
tion. It is believed that no similar security is so
carefully guarded, and carte fitly no other is based
upon a larger or more valuable property. As
the Company's
are offered for the present at NINETY CENTS
ON THE DOLLAR; they are the cheapest secur
ity In the market, being more than 10 per cent.
lower than Ti. S. Stocks. They pay
