PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. The
Pennsylvania railroad has at last effected
a consolidation with its two main Western
connecting routes: the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago, and the Pittsburg,
Cincinnati and St. Louis roads. The efrect
of this combination is that it brings under
ono management pioperty valued at two
hundred and eighty millions of dollars,
and reaches for freight and passage, from
Philadelphia to Chicago, Cincinnati and St.
Louis. The Pen nvlvania road is one of
the wealthiest in the country, and in enter

evening, by District Deputy Grand Master,
Chas. M. Howell.
THE CITY OF' COLUMBIA.—It is the
duty of every citizen to urge the impor
tance of •his own town, arid since town"
and " borough" sounds so small, and works
an injustice to the enterprise and business
character of our people, we most have
Columbia known as one of the cities of
Pennsylvania. Some way contend that
her population is not large enough, dce.
The population of Columbia is between
eight and nine thousand, almost double
that of Lancaster when first incorporated.
Lancaster was incorporated as a city in
ISIS, with a population of about five thou
sand. Columbia is far better than this, and
we call on all citizens to lend ti hand in tak
ing the proper steps to number her among
the cities. Who will move in the !natter?
VULOAIt here is as
much connection between the words and
the thoughts as there is between the
thoughts and actions. The latter is not
only the expressions of the former, but
they have a power to react upon the soul,
and leave the stain of corruption there. A
young Man who allows himself to use one
vulgar or profane word, has not only shown
that there is a foul spot upon his mind, but
by the utterance of that •word he extends
that spot, and inflames it, till, by indul
gence. it will pollute and ruin the whole
soul. Be careful of your words as of your
thoughts. If you can control the tongue
that no bad words are pronounced by it,
you will soon be able to control the mind,
and save that from corruption. You ex
tinguish the fire by smothering it,or by pre
venting bad thoughts bursting into lan
guage. Never utter a word anywhere
which you would be ashamed to speak in
the presence of ladies or of the most reli
gious man. Try this practlee a little while,
and you will soon have command of your
self.
A DEVOTIONAL SCENE.—Our report
er attended church on Sunday, (we will not
any which one,) and was seated immediate
ly behind two of Eves fairest daughters.
The sermon was quite interesting, but his
attention was somewhat diverted there
from by the following conversation between
the ladies in -question :
Mary Ellen (anxiously)—Betsey Jane,
isn't my chignon coining off?
Betsey Jane (pettishly)— No! Can't you
move a little further? Yon are creasing
my lace flounces.
Mary Ellen (moving a little)—Don't you
think Susan Brown looks dreadful homely.
'What big feet she bas, mid bow She waddles
into her pew !
Betsey Jane—Was there ev—, Oh ! there's
Slouch ! Isn't he a perfect Adonis? Ifow
I do wish ha would look our way.
Mary Ellen (smiling sweetly)—Ah I I see
him. Ile's looking towards us.
Betsey Jane (angrily—UM isn't looking ut
you, so you needn't act like a fool. The
minister's going to pray.
Wo omit the !utiles' names in respect to
their feelings.
JUPITER.—The planet Jupiter, with
his bolt and satellites, can uow be plainly
seen with the aid of the telescope any clear
evening. This planet, the largest in the
solar system, Is about twelve hundred
times greater than the earth. As seen
through the telescope, it presents a dish
about the size of a tea-plate, traces of its
belts being visible near and parrellel with
its equator.
GIRARD'S SECRET.—Stephen Girard,
than whom no shrewder businessman ever
lived, used to say in his old age:
"I have always considered advertising
liberally and long to be the great medium
of success in business, and the prelude to
wealth. And I have made it an invariable
rule, too, to advertise in the dullest as well
as the busiest season, long experience hav
ing taught me that money thus spent is well
laid out; as by keeping my business
continually before the public it has secured
me many sales that I would otherwise have
lost."
COLUMBIA PROGRESSING.—We learn
from our Columbia friends, trial a compa
ny is about to be organized in that borough
with appropriate capital for the erection of
manufactories upon an extensive scale.
What is the nature thereof the public is not
fully advised. The advance or our neigh
boring town in population and business is
wonderful indeed, and reflects great credit
on the enterprising gentleman who have
"pushed things." It is outstripping Lan
caster far away. Our capitalists are engaged
in stock and gold speculations, and matters
of that sort, and white they are adding dol
lar to dollar for themselves, are, for the
most part, not doing anything to cause the
citizens to remember, alter they have gone
to their fathers, that they ever lived! We
must wait lbr the next genetihtion:—Rath
cr Abraham.
CHESTER COUNTY ITEMS.—We take
the following from our exchanges:
Ellwood Bates, a young man employed
on the railroad, near Chatld's Ford, was
killed on Tuesday last, by a derrick falling
on him. Ile was engaged ,in hoisting a
stone, when the apparatus gave way, crush
ing him in its decent.
On Sunday last, as Wm. G. Taylor, of
West Chester, was walking across a field,
noar the borough, he stepped upon a "stub
ble," which ran through his shco and into
his foot, and then Droke lie was
obliged to call in a physician, and suffer
ed considei able pain before it could he ex
tracted.
On Tuesday morning last, Mr. Williatn
F. Gicin, druggist, of Downingtown, while
chopping wood to kindle the fire, the han
dle of the axe struck a pistol which was in
his coat pocket, causing the cap to explode,
and the charg,e took effect in the fleshy part
of the leg, inflicting a painful but not dan
gerous wound. Mr. G. will be confined to
the house for some days.
WISP= EVENINGS.—The delightfu
winter evenings are again with us, and al
•eudy tho gatherings around the fireside
aro growing interesting and attractive.
The nights now comp on at live o'clock, and
in consequence we have live long hours
until bed time to devote to amusement anti
study. The endearments . of home consti
tute a world or pleaguro in themselves and
when associated with mental and moral.
improvement, they lead us a step higher
than the ordinary level of life. The whis
perings of a mother's` love, the kind coun
sels of the gray-haired sire, mingling, as
they sometimes do, with younger and hap
pier voices, givo to the family circle tin at
traction and value which are not to be
found elsewhere among the haunts of men.
Why men will sometimes wander from
their homes and firesides to seek for hap
piness and enjoyment elsewhere, when
every grace and affection is natural and
centered there, is not only a wonder, but a
mystery. There may be instances where
homes are not as happy and attractive as
they should be. Cases of misplaced con
fidence and love, which alas, are destined,
too often, to be turned into gall and bitter
ness; but these are but rare. There is no
plaice, as a general thing, where the same
measure of worldly peace and comfort can
be found, as around our own fireside, he it
ever so humble in its character. The plain
hut of the fisherman upon the storm-beaten
shore, is often preferable, so far as treasures
of the heart are concerned, to the dwellings
and habitations of kings and princes.
Where the light and joy of pure, unadulter
ated love reside, there is all of that gladness
and peace, which the soul, in this world,
has a right to anticipate.
But our winter evenings are productive
of vast and infinite improvement, when
they are property appropriated. Reading
conver,mtion and retleet ion—an inter
change of those thoughts and sentiments
which pertain to our higher interests; as
just comprehension of our tree character
and destiny—these, of right, belong to the
lessons and teachings of the fireside, and
bring the fluffily altar nearer, if possible, to
the throne of God. A word or two spoken
in season, and the breathing of the pure
spirit of prayer, in kindred gatherings.
have often shed illuminations on the path
way, which have lighted men in triumph
to the grave. Let us therefore cherish and
value our winter evenings at home. They
have a comlbrt not found elsewhere, a reli
gion without pretense or bigotry, a general
philosophy which will bear the test of (frit
cism, and a hope that carries us far beyond
the ordinary trials Una struggles of this
life.
LECT UltE BEY 010.; rui ORDER. OF
AMERICAN ?iilerf.3NlCS, BY G. T. FonEs,
EsQ.—On Puestiay evening, hist notwith
standing the inclemency of the weather,
quite a min:nurse of one citizens assembled
at the Odd Fellow's lfall, to hear G. T.
Folios, Esq., who by earnest solicitation
delivered a lecture before the order of
American Mechanics, the subject being
"Work." We cannot do the le.'turer justice
from the crowded state of our columns, but
will simply recur to the lecture a , a
whole, avoiding the specification of the
many well-taken points. lie opened by a
division of his subject into four distict sec
tions, and then proceeded in his happy
style to substantiate and enforce his con
clusions. Ito grappled with the grandeur
of labor, in every phrase, and as a fellow
worker aroused an interest and attention,
seldom, if ever before, secured from en
audience. Ile urged the importance of
work as a moral obligation, and portrayed
the beauties of honest industry in such an
elegant style as to stimulate the mechanic
to renewed pride in his calling; and his
illustrations and cent parisons wereso spirit
ed and vivid as to show the "upper-ten-
door," who boast of a profession, the utter
uselessness of their claim to superiority
over She "hewers of wood," and could not
fail to eon vines all that the minister, doctor,
lawyer and orator, are hut laborers, and
that no honorable distinction exists; but to
the contrkry, from the very nature of
things, that an equality is unavoidable, and
that the [prosperity and good of society de
pends upon the tact of mechanics, and their
estimate of their own honest tail. "Work"
was held to ho the corner-stone of every
success and as the mother of every nation
and tongue, froM time :immemorial. The
lecture had a religious bearing, also, and
work was made typical of God, and idle
ness it votary of batin. This portion (tithe lee-
two was peculiarly adapted to the thinking
and industrious, and was so presented as to
have a telling effect in days yet unumbered.
The entire lecture was delivered in one
hour and twenty minutes, and the audience
luring the whole time, seemed wrapped
up in the speaker, and every expression
found the mark to which it was aimed. We
never listened to 31. leettu • e tilled with
grander truths, or priseuted in a more
pleasing light. The andienco manifested
their delight by meditative attention, and
we are sure That 110 one left the hall un
bonetitted. We are pleased to learn that
Mr. Fobes put poses delivering this lecture
throughout the State before the various
Councils, and we bespeak for him the emi
nent success that he merits. His lecture
should be beard by every Council, for we
believe that it 1;3 calculated to enhance the
Interests of every mechanic, while it cannot
fail to stimulate enterprise and energy in
the communities where it is delivered.
Councils desiring the services of the lec
ture'', can address him nt this place.
PE RS ONA L—We have received a
communication from "Crawford Demo

We will print the article when the corres
pondent sends his real name. It is useless
to send communications, without a respon
sible name attached.as they can never reach

Tut; NEW 13 tt DO E.— The bridge across
the river at this place is so far completed as
to admit of the crossing of passengers and
vehicles, but orders have been received to
allow no person to cross over it, under any
circumstances. Persons have been cross
ing on foot for some time, by securing a
pass, but now, when the river is closed,
and there is no other way of crossing than
by the bridge, thiis privilege is denied the
traveling public. We deem thit action of
the bridge company unwarranted, and a
great wrong to the public, as we think • no •
evil can arise from passengers crossing on
foot.

AN INQUEST ON TILE BODY Or &BEA-
ItAM SUULTZ.—An inquest was held on the
body of Abraham Shultz (who was injured
at the foot of Locust street, oa lastTbursday
afternoon,) by Samuel Evans, Esq., on the
sth and Gth inst. It appears from the
facts elicited before the Coroner's Jury, tha t
the deceased was first seen just after he
crossed the Reading railroad track, in a one
horse wagon going towards Locust street at
a slow trot, and urging the horse forward
by gently dropping the reins, which wore
slack upon his back. After getting on the
Pennsylvania railroad tracks he kept too
near Snyder's property, which rendered it
more difficult for the wheels of his wagon
to mount the rail, the consequence was
when the attempt was made to cross the
track, the wheels slid along the rail further
than they otherwise would have done, if
the crossing had been Made in tho usual
way. The horse took fright, it is supposed,
front the noise made by the sliding of the
wheels along the rails, and gave a 'spring
which partially unseated the deceased ; be
fore he could recover his balance the horse
gave a second jump, which threw the right
forward wheel under the wagon 1.): , (1 which
tilted it up about a foot and threw the de
ceased headthremost over the left front
wheel, his body falling partially under the
wagon, the left hind wheel of WiliCil passed
over a portion of his body and left side or
his head. The deceased fell to the ground
a few feet northeast of the foot crossing be
tween Snyder's and Fendrich's, at Locust
and Front streets. lie was immediately
picked up in an insensible condition and
carried into the drug store of Dr. Herman,
where Dr. Daniel I. Bruner rendered every
service within his means to relieve tho
patient. No fracture of the skull w•as ap-
parent, and it was supposed ho was labor
ing from a concussion of the brain. After
he wits taken to his home in Washington
borough, and a more thorough examina
tion made by Dr. F. Dinkle, it was dis
covered that the left lower jaw was both
dislocated and broken, and the bone of the
jaw had been forced into his throat,causing
a wound of an inch in length, which injur
ed some of the vital organs. The passage to
the lungs was affected and air was forced
between the skin and flesh on his breast
and other portions of his body. The injury
in his throat seemed to be the immediate
cans% of his death. There was a scalp
wound but the skull .beemed not be injured,
neither did any portion of the body show
external wounds or injury. The injury
which is supposed to have caused death,
was certainly a very remarkable oac. The
unfortunate man died on Friday morning,
the 4th day of December, at about three
o'clock,at his home in Washington borough.
kle was a married man, twenty-live years,
one month and five days old. A verdict in
accordance with the above facts was ren
dered.
Case of Abraham Shultz.
MNSSRS. EDITORS.-1 notice the report of
this case, a point or two which rimy need a
more particular explanation. In the ex
amination which I was called to :nuke,
!mind the case as stated us to the main
facts, therein published. The concussion
of brain, if any, was very slight, and would
not have caused death, but the injury re
sulting in death was that of the eighth pair
or nerves, especially the nerve of respira
tion, culled the pneztozoga,vtric nerve, paraly
zing its power and in a great measure sus
pending the action of the windpipe and
lungs, together with severe lacerations of
CEsopktgzous, or swallow.
The wheel of the wagon in its passage
over tho head and face had fractured the
lower jaw, forcing it inward, and causing
a direct compression and pressure upon
these nerves and contagious vessels, lacer
ating the CEsophagiums with a dreadful
wound, thereby permitting the air 'to pass
into the tissues along the course of vessels
down into external chest. The wound
in the throat, permitting the air to pass
down to the throat, caused what is known
to the " practice" by ihe name—Emphyse
ma, and is a rupture of the sides of the air
cells, and sometimes occurs through vio
lent roughing, or great exertions affecting
those particulur parts.
This Welind was so obvious, that on my
discovery or it, I (=Lied the attention of Dr.
Iloward S. Case and another gentleman of
intelligence and experience, who were by,
to notice its character and extent. From
this injury alone, he must have died. The
hemorrhage therefrom was Very profuse,
passing don n into his stomach, and out at
His mouth, nose and ear. AVhen I first
saw him, hie breathing was loud, with a
violent sputtering, as., if choking, but the
moment I found the dislocated and frac
tured part, and reduced and adjusted it into
its place, the breathing became natural and
easy, and there was no manifestation of
great suffering, as before, and Ito so con
tinued, quiet and easy, until life was gone.
I deem this explanation due myself and
the friends or the deceased.

NEW YORK October 13,1807.—DEAR
Sint—lt is with much pleasure that I say
to you that I consider the Plantation Bitters
of untold value. In the fall of 1867 I was
taken with Chills and Fever, with the most
severe pain in my chest and head.. It was
with great difficulty that I could breathe.
My lungs were greatly distressed, and there
was severe pain in my right side, by spells.
I could hardly get up front my bed. I call
ed a Doctor, who attended me all winter
without the least benefit. About,the first
of August I commenced using your Plan
tation Bitters—a wine-glass lull three times
a day—and have used it most of the time
since, and I am now well and strong, able
to do' all my own work and' the care of a
large family. Yours, &.c.,
