the same article was written in this office.

fact that our fire companies are in want of
more hose, as they nearly always, fall short
in time offire. Let there be a hose compa
ny formed and no doubt our Council will
make an appropriation to furnish them
with the much needed material..
COUNTY IT.EMS.—During the storm on

the house of Isaac Fields, Sr, in New Texas,
Lancaster county, and set the build ihg on

FoURTH• OF JULY.—Next Saturday is
the Fourth of July, and the anniversary of
the day that gave birth to the American
Union. We do not know that there will be
anything particular going on in Columbia,
that day or not; but the ladies Ivill want
riev dresses, shoes, and other fixings, and
we would inform them that the best place
to buy is at the Store of I. 0. Bruner,
Front Street, above Locust. All his goods
are sold -very cheap.
ON Monday last, we issued our first
number of the DAILY SPY, but we then had
not fully completed our arrangements to
receive all the telegraph news of the day.
We published the fact that Arkansas was
again a State in the union, on Monday.
Our exchanges of Tuesday fully confirmed
the. news. Has our sleepy neighbor, the
Intelligencer, published in the village of.
Lancaster, near Columbia, heard of the
fact yet?
MOWING MATCII.—A mowing match
came off at the farm of Henry Kauffman,
West Hem pfield, on Tuesday last, between
the following machines : Hotline's, jersey,
Woods, and the Little Giant. The trial
was very interesting and attracted quite a
large crowd of ,farmers and others as wit
nesses.. ,The "Woods" and "Giant" did
the 'best work, but for convenience and
simplincity, the former was pronounced
the machine, and Mr. H. EL Heise, the
agent, sold throe of then] on the ground.
PAYMASTER' 'DOUGLASS, whose death
is noticed in this week's issue, entered the
Navy, at the breaking out of the Rebellion ;
giving up the comforts of home and the
society of friends, at the call of duty, and
died in the service of his country. With
out any attempt at eulogy, it will be admit
ted by all who knew him,that he was a man
of remarkable ability,of varied attainments;
and respected, and beloved as a christian, a
gentleman, and a scholar. His loss to his
family and friends is irreparable. _
ITERMANN BLUMENTICAL.—We copied
an article from the Philadelphia Aforning
Post, in reference to the above named gen
tleman, which "said he was bound over
for supposed complicity in the theft of a
watch. Since then we learn from the Phil
adelphia Evening Star, that "it was Hy
mann:Blumenthal, not Hermann, who was
held for alleged complicity in the theft of
watch." We are always ready and willing
to correct a wrong impression. Mr. B. was
in Columbia yesterday, and denies all the
charges made against him.
"YOUNG HICKORY."—The Chief Bur
gess, called by some; "Young Hickory,"
(because of the firm and decided manner
in which he exercises the functions of his
office,) is out in a'card denying that it is his
duty to smell out dirty alleys, dm. And
says it is the Supervisor's duty to see to the
health and cleanliness, of our borough.
Now, if this is the case, Council should re
peal, at once; the Ordinance giving the
Chief Burgess the sum of ono hundred
dollars, for looking after, the health and
cleanliness of our borough. If everything
depends upon the .Supervisor, as he says,
let the one hundred dollars be paid -to him.
But the law says ;. "The Chief Burgess shall
have power , to- enforce the by-laws, ordi
nances, roles and regulations of the bor
ough, suppress riots, tumults, disorderly
meetings, fic.:, That i - shall be the duty of
the chief burgess or other principal officer
of the'borougb, to preserve order and main
tain the peace of the borough, to enforce the
ordinances and regulations, to remove or
abate nuisances, and-to exact a faithful per
formance of the duties of the officers ap
pointed."

FIREYoitx..--A correspondent fur
nislies us tlie following:
',Conn., Juno 23, IS6S.
Largo lire this morning, about 21 o'clock
—Eottcamp'S Tin and Sheet Iron establish
ment, and Grothe's four brick dwelling
houses, on North George Street., Steamer
(Laurel No 1,) on hand and rendered valu
able service. The citizens delighted with
her action. Should we have had no steam
er the whole block would have, no doubt,
burned down. S. H. S.
On Sunday morning, Gottwald's carpen
ter shop was entirely consumed by fire,
which is supposed to have originated by
the carelessness or some boys, who were
playing with matches in the vicinity.
THE READING PASSENGER RAILWAY.
—The Reading Dispatch says that all the
shares of the Reading Passenger Railroad
Company nave been subscribed for and five
dollars on each share paid in. There aro
four thousand shares of stock taken at $25
per share. Of this number ono thousand
one hundred were taken by men of this
city, and the remaining two thousand nine
hundred shares were taken by gentlemen
from New York. It will thus be seen that
there is no longer any question about our
city railway, for which we have been claw
moring for a long time. The work for con
struction will doubtless be commenced at
an early day and pushed rapidly forward
to completion.
Boy KILLED.—Thomas Welsh, aged
four years, one month and twelve days,
son of Michael Welsh and Ellen Welsh,
who live in the rear of the depot, at the
north end of the Canal Basin, was run over
by the cars on the P. R. R., at 3.30 on Mon
day afternoon last ; he died in about one
hour thereafter. It seems that the boy, to
gether with his sister, Hannah, who is
about ten years of age, went across the
railroad, at the bridge over the Canal Basin,
to gather some chips; when returning, a
train of cars was standing upon the track - ,
and the deceased attempted to pass under
them, when the train moved and caught
him; his sister made an effort to get him
out, but failed ; she had two of her toes cut
off while doing so. An inquest was held
upon the body by Samuel Evans, Esq., and
a verdict rendered in accordance with the
above facts.
SUPPLER & BRO. have purchased a
lot of ground on the corner of Manor and
Fourth streets, in the Third Ward, measur
ing one hundred and ninety-six feet on
Fourth and four hundred feet on Manor
street. This enterprising firm propose at a
future day to erect a Machine Shop. The
property'now used by them as a Machine
Shop on Second street, is being so hamper
ed by the Reading R. R., that they will be
from necessity compelled to remove their
works elsewhere.
This extension of our borough appears to
be with our mechanics and laboring men
the most valuable property within our
borough. We aro informed that nearly all
the lots on either side of Manor street, for
two squares above Fourth are snld,:and
since the opening of Manor street, which
was only six months ago, some ten or
twelve dwellings have been already erected.
STREET SWEEPING DRESSES —ln fer
nier times, when ladies gadded about to
show their new dresses, it used to be said
"they were spinning street yarn !" At the
present day, when they go out to display
their finery, which now consists of long
tailed dresses, it is said, "they are out
sweeping the streets." The invention of
long trails is quite utilitarian, and we ought
to be especially thankful to the French
Fashionables who introduced them; for our
ladies in following the French fashions have
gratuitously assumed the business of
sweeping our payetnents, merely, for the
pleasure of an opportunity and place to dis
play their extent of trail, and hear their
male admirers in exstacies exclaim, "Oh !
dear me, what a long rail our cat's got."
We know not what parents or husbands
think about the expense of the fashion, bat
wo judge they would prefer if it was
not in vogue while' silk is from $5 to $S
a yard, and that a less expensive material
was used in stead. We venture to suggest,
that every lady hitch to her skirt a coffee
bag or a common house cloth, as either will
swob up the dirt in better style than a cost
ly silk or satin.
Tliz TAFT TEL-LIE-ORAM.—Yesterday
morning, a small sheet, called a newspaper,
was circulated through town. It is most
miserably printed, with what is supposed
to be apple-butter, and in general appear
ance and make-up, a disgrace to the " art
preservative of nil arts." It is controlled
by copperheads, and managed by one F. S.
Taft, alias F. Sylvester, a traveling adven
turer. He worked in this office for a time,
and when wo spoke of issuing a daily
paper, wanted to canvass for it; knowing
his character, we would not consent. He
started out, after we had published a pros
pectus, on his own account, and got a few
subscribers and advertisements, by taking
advantage of said prospectus—or in other
words, by fraud.
In some instances, we are informed, he
told parties that his paper would be issiied
from this office, fic. Fraud is a game that
this humbug upon society can play at, as
only a short time since, he was arrested and
caged, in 'Washington, D. C.,for the forgery
of patent office papers, Sze. We would not
have said any thing about this penitentiary
bird, bud ho not made a lying, personal
attack upon the editor of this paper. Ile
shall be attended to more at length, next
week. In the meantime, if he has any
grievances to set forth, he can have a chance
at " W. H. DORAT, alias RAMBO."

OUR PUBLIC SCIIOoLS.—The Common
Schools of Columbia., under the superin
tendence of Prof. A. 0. Newpher, were
closed on Thursday, of this week, after a
ten months session, and will not open again
until the first of next September. Parents,
directors and teachers, are all gratified with
the progress made by the scholars, and
look forward to a new term with great
hopes. The vacation will give the teachers
and , s scholars time for recreation, which
is necessary for mental and bodily health ;
for the old saying that "all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy," is undoubt
edly true. There are few towns, if any in
Pennsylvania, that have better school
accommodations than Colombia, and it is
believed that new advantages will be ac
quired from year to year, that will save our
citizens the risk and expense of sending
their children abroad for an education.
Not less than six hundred scholars have
been accommodated during the last term.
A library of fifteen hundred volumes of
standard works, has been lately purchased
for the use of scholars and teachers.
The exercises of the day, preparatory to
final dismissal, consisted of reading and
music, and were quite interesting. All en
gaged acquitted themselves well, and it
was much to be regretted that parents and
others, were not in attendance to realize
the proficiency gained by the children.
This we esteem a sad neglect of which
parents axe ton frequently guilty. It was
stated, and we announce it as highly credit
able to parents, teacher and scholar, that
one young lady scholar had actually at tend
ed school every school-day for the whole
session of ten months, thus furnishing
a notable example worthy of imitation
by all others. In concluding the exercises,
brief addresses were made by the Rev. Mr.
Douglass, Messrs. Samuel Grove, Joseph
Mitllin,and Professor Newpher; after which
It was truly gratifying to see the children
flock around the the teachers to give them
a parting kiss, and wish them a cordial
farewell.
As mental improvement is the grand ob
ject of the school system, if there is noth
ing to prevent it, we would respectfully
suggest that access to the library be given
to such young men as may be inclined to
Visit it for the purpose of reading. We
are surd that many of them would gladly
avail themselves of the opportunity.
PROFANITY.—The habit of using pro
fane language is alarmingly prevalent in
many communities, and that, too, by men
of sound judgment and common sense, It
is strange why man, civilized, enlightened
Irian, will pollute his lips with vile langu
age, when he knows it is contrary to reason
and politeness, and in violation to God's
holy law. For most of the violations of
the moral law, man tries to justify himself
by offering some excuse, but for tho use of
profane language there cannot be the
shadow of an excuse rendered. Yet, it is no
strange thing, either in high or low circles,
to hear the name of the Supreme Being
appealed to on the most, trifling occasions.
Paren'? set the example—children
follow it, and thus the wicked practice
of profaning the Lord's name, and pol
luting the air with the sounds of oaths
and blasphemies, is kept up from ono gen
eration to another. Is it a disposition to
appear brave, that causes such language to
be used? Instead or showing bravery, it
betrays the want of true moral courage.
All will admit that profane language is im
polite, and. most of those who are guilty o f
this social and moral outrage, refrain from
it on certain occasions. Lisociety ofladies,
and in the presence of some venerable
divine, they will, for the ri ne,withbold such
language, but as soon as this restraint is
removed, decency and morality would
blush to hear the vicious . oaths that are
uttered. Ilaw unreasonable and na-
thoughtful ! Do you imagine, 0! man im
mortal, that when you have no human
being near to restrain you, that you are in
the presence of your Maker? Reflect ! Lie
hears those horrid oaths,and Ms name pro
faned, and "He will not hold him guiltless
who takteh Ms name in vain."
"It chills my blood to hear the blest Supreme
Rudely appealed to on each trilling theme.
Maintain your rank! vulgarity despise;
To swear m neither bravo, polite, nor wise.
You would not upon the bed of death:
Reflect: your Maker now could stop your breath.',
Let those who are not guilty of this crime
—this outrage upon morality—labor earn
estly to impress upon thoso shires of pro
fanity, tbs imminent danger ofsuch a vice,
and the propriety of a speeedy and thorough
reformation.
READING, MAY 21sT, 1868.—This is
to certify that my daughter has been
afflicted with vomiting and subject to
cramps in the stomach for several years.
A number of friends pronounced the case
one of severe Dyspepsia. Hearing of the
curative properties of your Life Drops I was
induced to try a few bottles of it; and to my
great satisfaction and to the relief of my
daughter, found it to he of great benefit in
this case, and after using it a short time
she was entirely cured of the affliction. I
consider it the greatest medicine in exis
tence for the cure of the various complaints,
for which you recommend it.

Brigham Young and the fire Com
panies.
MR. EDITOR :—Brigham Young's flings at
the Vigilant Fire Company, and also Rev.
John Cromlish, are contemptible, to say the
least of it.
He says, too, that In an article in your
paper, you tried to throw discredit upon
the "Columbia," wbich your readers know
to be false. lie perhaps forgets, that after
the fire on Wednesday evening, the 17th
inst., ho published an extra in which he
spoke in no very flattering terms of the
Vigilant, and that the "Columbia boys had
all the work to do," - -&c. Now we think the
object of this wily individual, is to try to
array the companies against each • other,
and the "Columbia" against the SPY.
Don't you think so ? MDSE GUARD.
Ma. EDITOR:—A.9 it Ls very generally
conceded, that Columbia is entitled to a
representative in the next Legislature, I
beg leave to propose Mr. James Barber, a
native citizen, as our candidate. All know
him to be a very correct, pure and honest
man ; well qualified for the place, and a
good Republican besides. I • think we
could not make a better selection.
A COLUMBIAN.
[From the Pittsburg Commercial.]
COLUMBIA, PA.
COLOMBIA, June 19, 1808.—This place has
a population of 10,000; has two rolling
mills, five furnaces, two saw mills, two
planing mills, three machine shops, three
foundries, one rake factory, .te.
A train of oil cars, on the Columbia road,
caught , fire here to-day, and burned up.
The editors of the Columbia Spy, a genu
ine Republican newspaper, contemplate the
commencement of a daily paper, next week.
The Columbia bridge, which was destroy
ed in 1863, by tho Unionists, to prevent the
rebels from progressing to the interior of
the State in a raid, is now being rebuilt.
The present structure is known as the
Howe truss bridge. The length of this
structure will be one mile and two hundred
and sixteen feet. It will be formed -of
twenty-seven wooden spans, and two iron
spans. A railroad track will be laid in the
center of the bridge floor, and will be plank
ed up the height of the rail, so as to permit
wagons and carriages to run across it. The
work is progressing rapidly, and under the
control of the Royston° Bridge Company, of
Pittsburg.
Here follows a table of material used, &c.
Same as was published in this paper a few
weeks ago.—[En. SPY.]
Manheim, fourteen miles northeast of
this place, was settled by Baron Von Stie
gel, about 1740. The' Baron erected glass
works and furnaces, at this place. The vil
lage contains about twelve hundred of a
population, and lies in the celebrated Cont
estoga valley, an agricultural region no
excelled anywhere. The house built and
occupied by the Baron,is now in the posses
sion of Mr. H. Arndt, and contains many
relics of ancient times. The brick of which
the house was built were imported from
England, and the parlor still contains the
tapestry, and a beautiful falcon scene that
the Baron highly prized. This eccentric
old gentleman had a band stationed upon
the housetop, and an old cannon a distance
from the house, which was always fired
on the approach of the master, which was
the signal for the band to strike up and re
ceive the old chap, with the sound of tink
ling timbals and blast of trumpets. One
apartment of the house was set apart as a
chapel, where the 'employees were assom
-bled upon the Sabbath day, and lectured by
the Baron. The old chap lived entirely too
fast, and in his later days became so reduc
ed in circumstances that ho taught school
for a livelihood.
A very extensive slate quarry has recent
ly been opened here, and rooting and mar
bleizing material is found in abundance.
The vein is three hundred yards in width,
and dips into the earth to an unknown
depth. R.
Mn. EntToni—l would like to have an
office, as I am pretty well xtrapped, iu
morals and money. Physically, I atn well
enough, but financially very bad, and a very
fair specimen of such folks, as the good
natured people of Lancaster county delight
to send to the Legislature. I would like
what an applicant for office said to Gov.
Jackson, "a si-ne-cu-re," all pay and no
work, as that would suit me best; but
would be contented with a seat in the lower
house, es I am told there is lots of pickings
every day during the session, and that it a
member is as honest as they make them
liere,he can get bribes on both sides of every
important question that arises. This would
suit me exactly; as I like to drive a
double team, and therefore as a representa
tive, disposed to accommodate my con sti t v
ents, would make no factious objections to
take a bribe from one side to got a bill
through the Committee of the•Whole,-a-ad
then a bribe from the other side, to defeat
it on a second or third reading, because this
would be treating both parties alike ; mak
ing no discrimination, and therefore purely
legislative, democratic, and according to
parliamentary usage. Could you not get
me a place on our County ticket, this
season ? I would not care to give you half
of the stealings, as they call them. lem
told it is customary for all desiring nomi
nations, to employ an editor of a paper for
a fixed consideration, to secure a nomina
tion, and as your Spy must give you some
political influence, .1 should thluic that for a
flair compensation by joining with the
"Ring," in Lancaster, you could possibly
secure my nomination, if you would give
one of the leaders of the "Ring" a portiou
of what I give you. This would be a fair
business transaction, and has been very
common, and that accounts in some
measure why we always have such able
representatives. If I should be elected, I
would like to be appointed on a Committee
to contest the election of a member, for in
such eases, both the contestants give money
to the Committee, and whoever gives most,
"knocks down the persimmons" and gets
the seat. I hope you will take pity on me,
for I have been broken, ruined, and aril out
of cash and credit, and I know of no other
place where I can so readily restore myself.
"help me Cassius, or I sink." I would not
care CO oiler for 3 , G - or seevices,‘, - litett I
would be sure to pay us soon as I get it.
Mn. ED/TOIL—I would call the atteli tie!'
of our town authorities, to some young men
who do not seem to respect the Sabbath and
keep it holy. They are in the habit of
lounging about the back yard of a
prominent building in Locust street,
and keeping up a constant noise, to the
great annoyance of the neighbors. It is
hoped they. will have some respect for a
sick neighbor; next door.

Are now finished and in operation. Sixty miles
of track have been laid this spring, and the
_work along the whole line between the Atlantic
and Pacific States Ls being pushed fdrward more
rapidly than ever before. „More than twenty
thousand men are employed, and it is not im
possible that :the entire track, from Omaha to
Sacramento, will be finished in 1869 instead of
1870. The means provided are ample, and all
that energy, men and money can do to secure
the completion of this
at the earliest possible day, will bo done.
The UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
receive:
/.---A GOVERNMENT GRANT of the right of way,
and all necessary timber and other materials
found along the line of its operations.
lI.—A GOVERNMENT GRANT of 12,800 acres of
land to the mile taken in alternate sections
on each side of its road. _This is an absolute
donation, and will be a source of 'large
revenue in the future.
lII.—A GOVERNMENT GRANT of United States
Thirty-year Bonds, amounting to from
$16,000 to $48,000 per mile according to the
difficulties to be surmounted on the various
sections to be built: The Government takes
a second mortgage as security, and it Is ex
pected that not only The interest, but the
principal amount may be paid in services
rendered by the Company in transporting
troops, mails, Sm. • The interest Ls now much
more than paid in this way, besides securing
a great saving la time and money to the
Government.
IV.—A GOVERNMENT GRANT of the right to
issue its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, to
add in building the road, to the same amount
as the U. S. Bonds, issued for the same pur
pose, and no more, THE GOVERNMENT PERMITS
tile Trustees for the First Mortgage Bond
holders to deliver the Bonds to the Company
only as the road is completed, and after it
has been examined by United States Com
missionms and pronounced to be in all re
spects a first-class 'Wheat!, laid with a
heavy T rail, and completely supplied with
depots, stations, turnouts, car-shops, locomo
tives, cars, dm.
V.—A CAPITAL STOCK SUBSCRIPTION from the
' stockholders, of which over Eight Million
Dollars have been paid in upon the work
already done, and which will be increased
as the wants of the Company require.
CASII EARNINGS on its Way Business,
that already amount to MORE THAN TICS
INTEREST on • the First Mortgage Bonds.
These earnings are no indication of the vast
through traffic that must follow the opening
of the line to the Pacific, but they certainly
prove that
First Mortgage Bonds
UPON SUCI! A PROPERTY, COSTING NEARLY
- - T - 14IIEE TIMES TIBOR AMOUNT,
ARE SECURE BEYOND ANY CONTINGENCI
The Company have abundant means in their
treasury, and make no appeal to the public to
purchase their Bonds, as the daily subscriptions
are entirely satisfactory; but they submit that,
for entire security and liberal returns, there is
certainly no better investment in the market.
Tile Union Pacific Bonds are for $l,OOO each,
and have coupons attached. They have thirty
years to run, and bear annual interest, payable
on the first days of January and July at tile
Company's Office in the City of New York, at,
the rate of six per cent. in gold. The 'Principal
is payable in gold at maturity. *At the present
rate of gold, these bonds pay all annual incense
on their cost of
NEARLY NINE PER CENT.,

MAY 8001 V BE. AT A

The Company reserve the right to advance the
price to a rate above par at any time, and will
