READ IT.—Our merchants should read
the threatening article on Proscription, in
the organ of the Columbia Insurance Com
pany. They e ill find therein some of the
most bare-faced, impudent, and cowardly
lies ever printeit. No wonder the types re
fused to take ink. The paper looks as
though it was printed with apple-butter.
Every word uttered in reference to the SPY
is tidse. The very atmosphere surround
ing the valiant and Liliputian Brigham,
stinks In the nostrils of decent men. Yet
he has the hardihood to DAME our mer
chants to withdraw their patronage from
THE JAvs.—The Pusi-lama Japanese,

Friday evening, March 6th, at 7} o'clock,
in Town Hall.
On motion, Afr. Cully was instructed to
take charge of subscription .papers, and
solicit additional subscriptions.
On motion adjourned.
STILL AITEAD.—t. 0. Bruner still re
mains "master of' the situation." He has
made some decided improvements in the
arrangements of his store room ; and is of
fering his winter stock of goods at very low
figures. A new invoice of boots, shoos,.
ladies' gaiters. etc., just_ received.
ON TUE RAnrAcn.—Briabain young,
who " rules the roast," at the Columbia In
surance office, is on the rampage. Ile has
not ceased his " slobbering." The rhindor
pest has now taken a turn, and is followed
by the worst form of trichina slit:rains, and
we fear that Sayre's Pain Cure will not
save his bacon.
This illiterate old bushwacker got mad
because we "exhumed" some of his man
uscript and have it on exhibition at this
office, to show to the people his good spell
ing, punctuation, grammar, &c. To retali
ate, he got some one to hunt out all the
errors in the Spy, (no paper in the world is
free from them,) which shows his childish
pettishness; and in which notice lie makes
four blunders. Brigham may do for an
apologist for murderers, rebels, traitors and
blackguards, but he is too foul a bird to set
himself up as a critic. As to his slobber
ing renegade, we would not dirty our
columns with the mention of his name.
We are tempted to relate a little anecdote of
which this renegade reminds us : A long
train of cars is seen smoking down the
railroad, freighted with the rich products
of Lancaster county, heading for the city of
Brotherly Love, at the rate of twenty or
thirty miles per hour; a fierce spaniel
rushes furiously from a cottage yard, on
the roadside, and with " bristles" raised,
and hind feet flying off the ground at every
convulsive hark, threatens the destrnation
of said train.
In a moment the indifferent ears are
;one; and spaniel, with subsiding oyes,
lowered "bristles.," and tail curled nervous
ly over his back, trots nimbly back into the
yard, and with a victorious air looked a long
"adieu" to the heedless train—us much as
to say," Well, if I didn't bite you, I ran you
off."
We think the renegade will net ilia to
Lind himself somewhere in the above
picture.
FASHIONS AND FRlOES.—Fashions are
very accommodating, just now, says De»i
°rest. They allow people to dress much or
little, to be as economical as they choose,
and still be in the fashion.
The short dress for street wear is a real
God-send. It is a modern idea, of which
ladies have reason to be proud. It is the
happy medium in costume which has. al
ways been wanted, and is exactly adapted
to its purpose. It provides what was never
before designed with the same perfectness
and accuracy—a special dress for tikreet
wear, which is a cat, convenient, not un
graceful, and which one is in no danger of
spoiling.
It may ho made of costly material and
richly trimmed, but it. :lust as well, and
even 'better, coin pose.l of plainer material
and not trimmed at all. Itlack short suits
are fashionable this spring, and, If made in
alpaca, are inexpensive, durable and lady
like.
We desire to warn ladies, however,
against purchasing spurious materials.
For months past, the market has been flood
ed with inferior fabrics, to which standard
names are attached, and which are sold, it
is stated, at at " great reduction."
Common mixtures of cotton and wool,
and the like, are not worth the time or cost
of making up, and especially are not worth
making up into short dresses. The value
of the short dress lies largely in the possi
bility it affords to ladies of exercising in all
sorts of weather, and a street dress that
can not stand rain or snow is worthless.
For any purpose, it is the worst taste and
the poorest kind of economy to buy "cheap"
goods. A good, pure article will outlast
four poor ones, and always look handsome
and creditable, while a poor one fades and
collapses into nothing at once. -
Genuine dry goods, it must be remem
bered, are rarely to be obtained below their
standard price. They are always what is
called "good stock,•' and outlast caprices
of fashion ut• style.
Cottons ore exceedingly low, probably
lower than they will he again for some time
to come. Yard-wide muslins and good
prints at a shilling per yard. re-call the good
times v. belt gold was the circulating
medium. We even Lind handsome spring
chintzes selling at this price. Piques fol
low the lead of other goods in this depart
ment, and can be bought for fitly and
seventy-tive cents, in qualities that last
rear commanded one dollar and a dollar
twenty-live per yard.
There is nothing prettier for morning
wear, especially in the country, and in the
spring-time of the year, than a neat print,
chintz or pique, and we congrat u late our
lady readers on being able to supply them
selves at low prices.

Democratic Argilitleuls.
ED. SPY:—My attention has been called
to an article in the "Marderer'BApotogist,"
taken from the Reading Eagle. The editor
oilers to his followers a premium for
" robbery, murder and riot ing " and
appeals to the baser passions of rioting,"
poor
men who have beeu thrown out of employ
ment by the course of their own leader,
Andrew Johnson. They delight in calling
radicals thieves and robbers; yet in this
article they point out to the "half-starved'
and " half frozen" workmen, the palaces
and banking-houses of the rich, and inti
mate that these would be their spoils in
ease of a new Democratic Rebellion. This
may be called Democracy. But how honest
and respectable alien, calling themselves
Democrats, can endorse such vile and out
rageous nrtietes, I can't understand. It is
the same franticness of the rebellion again
showing itself; but no brave mace, even
were he a rebel, would advise such n course
as this Eagle editor proposes, and the Co
lumbia Copperhead endorses. It is the
appeal of bad men, who would impel their
poor, ignorant dupes to deeds of violence,
but who, themselves, would be too cowardly
to lead them. They would be sure to be in
a safe place, and if possible, a place where
their pockets would be benefited, and their
precious bodies safe.
But they cannot lead the thinking and
intelligent masses into lawlessness. Even
if we have among us poor laboring men
who are now suffering for the necessaries
of life; they well know that It democratic
rebellion has cost the country millions of
dollars, and thousand of lives ; and that,
but for the treachery of Andy Johnson,
aided by the so-called Democratic party,
the country would be at peace; the South
restrirecl, and the business of the country in
a prosperous condition. Everything was
going on well, work plenty, our furnaces
and mills in operation, wages high, mad tile
laboring men doing well, until Andy John
son turned TnAtTon; :ind then the country
became unsettled, business became stagna
ted, and the present hard times came upon
us. These things the thinking and intelli
gent masses know, and all the appeals to
the baser passions of men will have no
effect—but upon the i-morant dupes found
at In ongthe Copperhead " s themselves. Every
intelligent man knows that the Copperhead
party and Andrew Johnson are responsible
for the present unsettled state of the court-,
try, and fur the stagnation in bisiness—
and the only hope for the countrris in the
early removal of the chief cause of all this
trouble—the accidental President of the
country. Let Congress do its duty, and the
people . will sustain them heartily, despite
the threats of bold, bad men, whose only
glory is in their country's ruin.

The Address from the Chairmen of
the County Committee.
.Nitt. Curren :—lt was with no little
astonishment I read, a few days ago,
an address by Martin S. Fry to the
Republican voters of the county, wherein
he attempts to give it true history of the
conception, delivery anti adoption of the
system known as the " Crawford County .
System," and the departure therefrom ;
and a justification of the majority of said
committee on the 17th inst. In conclusion,
be appeals to Republicans for the sake of
harmony, to support the very men they
spurned. Thisis one of the mostimpudent
and indecent attempts to foist upon the
peoplo some of the most venal and corrupt
men the party has ever been cursed with.
Having foiled in one instance, they expect
that the Chairman of the County Committee
can humbug the people into their support.
Let the peoplo arise, and rebuke the vault
ing ambition of these men who aspire to be
lenders ; but who are, in truth, making
rillbccasm tracks in the wake of the Winne
