ICE HARVEST. —The Columbia Ice Com
pany commenced cutting s and storing ice
in theii now house, above the bridge, on
Tuesday afternoon. The quality of ice is
good, being clear and about five inches
think.
''Ora Fow•r.."—Fricnd [ - less, the toy
and stationery dealer, has sent us a turkey,
for the holidays. Ii is a promising bird,
and although it is of an indigestible charac
ter,wo accept it for the use of "Harry," who
devours otherwise than with his teeth.
RE-APPOINTED.—Nr. Abraham Hies
land, of Lancaster city, who formerly hold
the office of general inspector Ihr this coun
ty, but which office wits abolished by the
new law of last session of Congress, has
been appointed an internal revenue gnager,
and has received his commission.
Fox CHASE.—The dinner and fox
Chase is to take place at Petersburg on the
26th, instead, of Lhe 23d, as we stated a few
days ago. Mt. Evans, wile gives the din
ner, invites us to lend a band in the de
straction of a large turkey on the occasion.
If somebody don't send us a turkey, we're
bound for that chase.
GAS METERS.—Now that the eel• 1
Nveather is at hand, our readers would do
well to attend to their gas meters, and see
that they are covered sufficiently with
blankets, cfce. During last winter a num
ber of our business places were suddenly
involved in darkness by neglect of ibis
precaution. A. word to the wise, r.
GRAND NEW YEAR BALL. The
Twelfth Annual Ball of the Columbia Fire
Company, will take pl.tee in Odd Fellows'
Hall, on New Year Eve. That it will be the
best and most thoroughly enjoyable ball of
tbo season—no one:need doubt, as it will be
only after the seine style of those hereto
fore given by the gentlemen comprising
that enterprising Company.
A. GENTLE HINT.— We judge that
some of our grateful farmer subscribrs
forgot to send in that nice turkey, on
Thanksgiving Day—as we bad to "make
other engagements." If such there .be he
may send it in for Christmas—and we will
give him such a complimentary notice that
ho will put on a standing collar, and won't
condescend to feel disposed to permit his
offspring to associate with the neighbor's
children, for weeks to come.
WANTED.—A half dozen elegant and
refined young, gentlemen of this place, aro
desirous of procuring situations as sons-in
law in some wealthy families in the corpo
rate limits or near thereof. They are wil
ing to bo used as fireside ornaments, keep
pound cake from moulding, use surplus
greenbacks in any quantities and otherwise
add to the respectability of the fimily.
Doling parents wishing to increase their
families should apply early.
AN ANSWEIL—We asked a few weeks
ago if any one could furnish us with a sen
tence that read the same forward and back
ward. In reply we have received the fol
lowing from a little girl in town:
did" or "Did Anna;" again
"Hannah did" or " Did
This is very good for a little girl, and shows
an inquiring mind, which we are ever dis
posed to encourage:
Since our query has met attention, we
present as a curiosity, the following, which
is one of the two or three line; in the Eng
lish language that read precisely the , :tinc,
either backward or forward :

THE WittsKY REND.—A lady Iriend
has suggested to us, that If w. would en
large upon the "Whisky Bend," whieli
sorely allicts many of the masculine gen
der, in our midst, and say less in ridicule
of the "Grecian Bend," introduced by the
ladies, we would bettor subserve the mural
interest of the community itr gene: al, and
the peace and happines's or many housoliblas
in particular.
Our fair correspondent has rather the
best of the argument, wo admit. When we
come to think over the matter ftwe do re
member to have seen a fellow, a few eve
nings since who had the "Whisky Bend"
the worst kind. We know that some per
sons got on H high old "bender" the other
night while playing Romeo and Juliet.
The "Grecian" and "Whisky" are fright
ful "Bends," without a don tit, from cither
of which deliver us.
CIMISTMAS 01Przi.—The practice of
making presents oat Christina's is said to
have originated in the exemple of the wise
men of the East, who brought their offer
ings to the manger at Bethlehem, and laid
them at the feet of the infant Saviour.
Since then, Christmas gifts have been uni
versal throughout Christendom, and many
Persons I eel that they have not properly
discharged their ditty artless they bestow
something among friends. and favorites.
Those Who can afford it usually do, and this
holiday never passes around wit bout. att in
terchange of tokens of good feeling and
kindness in almost every neighborhood.
Be the gift ever so small, and intrinsirally,
ever so valuless, it is esteemed as special
favor. The ataixtety with which our chil
dren look forward to the approach of this
popular holiday, is an indication of the
great interest they feel in the receipt of those
gifts, and their Tittle heart,, are made light.
and filled witl;glinlness whOnev6r they'are
made the Objects of some special donation.
The practice of decorating our churches
with _evergreens; on ,Christmas originated
with the ancient Druids, who wore garlands
of ivy and misletoe, on that day, and since
their time it has been religiously kept up
by several denominations of Christians.
GETTING Ur IN TUE MOUNING.—It
requires a deal of courage to get up out of
a nice warm bed these bleak, cold morn
ings.• There is a heap of mental. augmenta
tion, and close calculation as to how many
minutes you COIL possibly tarry antler the
comfortables before-you lake the final
start. But then it is nothing after all when
you have made up your mind to do the
deed ; 'few questions have 'given rise to
more deliberations than that simple ono of
getting up, in the morning. Philosophers
differ widely,. and poor humanity has to
net for itself in the rib,ence of a real science
applicable Io Lho matter. One wise man
contends that no one should rise until the
earth is fully aired, while others claiming
to be equally astute indulge in the follow
ing aphorisms: "Ile who would thrive
must rise at five." So goes the• proverb,
though there is more rhyme than rea-son iii
it; for if
•
Ile trho wauld thrive muat rims at five,
it must naturally follow,
Ifs who would thrive more must Ike at four,
acrd it will ensue, as a con sequence, that
.
Me who would still more thriving be,
Must leave his bed at turn of three;
And aho this latter would outdo.
Wilt rouse him at the stroke of two.
And, by the way of climax to it all, it
should be held that
Ile who would never be outdone,
Slust even rise as soon as one. - 2
But the best illustration would be,
He who would flourish best of all,
Should never go to bed at all.
STOREICEEPEa APPOl?iTEM—lienjanlin
Schaum, of Lancaster city, has been ap
pointed by the Secretary of the United
States Treasury, a storekeeper for this Con
gressional district.
Fort the benefit of our lady readers who
have jurt commenced to practice the Gre
cian Bend, we append the following receipt:
Throw up your chin and out your chest,
Assume the form of the letter S!
Like a kangaroo your arm extend,
And then you'll have the "Grecian Bend."
WHITE WIRE FOR CLOTHES LINES.—
Mr. M. A. Reid, of this place, has secured
the general agency for the sale of the Girard
Company's white wire,-for clothes lines.
The wire is highly spoken of. We invite
attention to the advertisement in another
column.
TuANK.s.—Mr. Henry E. Wolfe, one
of Nature's noblemen, living on the out
skirts ofour borough, has put us under ob
ligations for an elegant present. May you
live long, Harry, and always prosper, as
we know you will. The Lord loves a cheer
ful giver, as we love a good dinner.
INIPORTANT CLIANGE IN TILE REVENUE
Dlstmacrs OF PFINNSYLVANIA.—From and
utter Saturday last, December 19th, the As
sistant Assessor, heretofore employed in the
ditlerent distilleries in operation, cease to
act—all distilleries hencethrth to be taxed to,
their full capacity when in operation. The
etTeut of this change will of coarse be to save
a large amount of money in salaries for As
sistant Assessor and to reduce the mau fac
to re of \whisky, as Many (distilleries will
not operate under this regulation, and there
fore the price of distilled liquors will be in
creased, because of their consequent
scarcity.
CI-11MM DEDICATLON.—The new house
of worship built by the "United Brethren
in Christ," near Safe Harbor, on the road
leading to Washington, and known :is the
High ville Church, will he formally opened
and consecrated to the service of God, on
the 27th inst., (first Sabbath after Christ
mas), by Bev. Dr. Glossbrenner, Senior
Bishop of the Oh nrch, and one of the ablest
living preachers. Other able ministers will
participate in the occasion. All who at
tend will be nf.:commodat 0.1. free of charge.
Service.: will be bold at 10 A. M., and 2. and
7 o'clook, P. M. An earnest invitation is
extended to the public.
'FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Sunday Morn
ing last an accident occurred on the -Penn
sylvania railroad, at Gap station, which
caused the death of Win. Carter, Jr. It
appears that a burden train was moving at
a slow rate, when one of the wheels of a
car broke, canning a wreck of the cars
and the throwing of Carter from the tr.tin,
breaking his neck. The deceased was on
his first trip as brakesman, and radars . ' in
Artu•ietta. His remains pas - -ed here on
Sunday last, in the care of ais father. De--
ceased had returned front the aa•uty but- a
shelt time, and was about t wenty-liye
years of ago.
Tut FAI R.—The Fair of the Colum
bia Fire Company came to a close on Mon
day evening last, after a successful run of
six evenings. The following are a few of
the drawings announced at the close : N. E.
Nike, silver watch; A. J. Kauffman, rag
carpet; John B. Tyler, rag carpet; Mrs.
Geo. M. Booth, silver set ; John Maxwell,
pair of blankets; Mrs. Wm. Hogentogler,

greenback ; Harry Akins, $5 greenback;
Dr. A. Craig, canary birds ; Miss Kinzer,
of Reading, gold watch; Rev. W. S.
H. Keys, a handsome pulpit bible.
.Tuward the close of the Fair, the friends
of the several physicians in. town were
active in the contest for a handsome cane
that, was to be given to the one receiving
the largest number• of votes, which was
finally awarded to Dr. Armor. The follow
ing is the vote: Armor•, 6091; Craig, 51S;
Lineweaver, IST ; Hinkle, 159; Hermln,
nrunee, 9; Murphy, ; Case, 11; Hamil
ton, I. The cane, at ten cents a vote,
brought $192.90, which we should say was
\V en 1)11 id for, and a handsome source of
revenue for the Company.
The Fair clo,ed under the most pleasing
circuinstances, and was by far the most
successful enterprise of the hind ever held
in Columbia. The entire proceeds amount
to $1062, and it is thought that $6OO will be
realized clear of all expense:. We congrat
ulate the Company upon their• great spe-

JounNatusm.—The Pittsburg Weekly
Commercial has issued a holiday number
containing seventy-two columns of reading

services in the E. E. Lutheran Church on
next Sabbath, at the usual hours. In the,
morning—A Christmas Sermon. Evening

Address of the Carries of the Daily and

season. "Jerry" hopes it vill be liberally
received, as he has spent much physical
and mental labor in its completion.
WINTER. SICKNESS.—A physician at
tributes much of the sickness in winter to
the bad effects of coal gas. Unskilful hand
ling of the valves of a " gas-burner" stove
often drives gas into the air of the room,
which is infused so gradually that it will
be breathed by the inmates without notic
ing that the air is foul. A proper ventila
tion of rooms, and especially sleeping apart
ments, is much more important in the
winter than in the summer for the above
reason.
SC,llOOb AFFAllts.—We arc glad to
announce, that the free night school gotten
up by a gentleman of our borough, is a de
cided success. Upwards or seventy young
men and boys 1.111.V0 niNehod themselves to
it and there is an average attendance of
sixty every night. The scholars are from
eleven to twenty-three years of age, and it
is very gratifying to oliserve the determi
nation of all to learn and improve. Mr.
Oberlin employed at private expense, is
principal, and is conducting the school
with 1111 e ; and lately the Directors
of the Common Schools, seeing the great
good lilzely to lesull front the experhnent,
have given him an assistant in the person
of au excellent young num, Mr. Sourbeer,

I. Question.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—There are many
things which the limited scope of my pen
might bring to the notice of the readers of
the "Soy," but none I think at this time
of as much importance, as the question,
"why are not our lady teachers as well paid
as those of the opposite sex?"
The expenses of a single lady are just as
great as those of a single gentleman, they
are required to do as much work, to teach
as many pupils, and as many hours, and
they must possess the same qualifications,
and yet receive front five to fifteen dollars
per month less than the male teachers.
I believe that at present the borough of
Columbia is the exception, and not the
rule, and if I am right, this abuse should at
once be remedied and the salary of the
ladies who teach made equal to that of the
gentlemen.
I believe too, that the force of teachers
should be increased, for I have been inform
ed that the schools are very In 11, and COrSe
quently the scholars do not receive suffi
cient attention, and lastly, though not
least, the teachers are over worked.
Education does not receive the attention
from the citizens of Columbia that it should,
or the toregoing abuse in Our school Sy:stein
would not have continued so long.
Since my pen has ta kin up this sal fact,
I will say in addition, that the teacher
should receive at good vacation this winter,
for, all thinking people know that theits is
a very annoying, weary and troublesome
occupation, and I think, too, the pupils

WhITE PisE.-IVe were informed to
day that a great many teams loaded with
lumber, flour and provisions, were cn the
road from Utah to White Pine. They nun
off from the overland road at Egan canyon,
and make nearly a direct course for that
district. We were told also that the people
in the Eastern States had White Pine big,
and were setting out this way by the hun
dreds, and that the number would increase
to thousands in the spring. The story of
"silver placers" has been too many for
them.—PeveiUc, Austin, Nevada.

of its success. It is a sixteen page paper,

now often do you hear the complaint
from mother and father that their son or
daughter is not well ; that they have no ap
netiLe; that they feel languid ; that their
head aches ; that they are growing thin and
feeble, and that they have no life or energy
left. That they are low-spirited, and per
fectly incapacitated to participate iu any
pleesu tes, or perform any mental or physi
cal duty. And the question is often asked,
what shall I do for them? or, what shall I
give them? Our answer is, let them try
Plantation Bitters moderately three times a

No countryman need be known by his

which are honorable and becoming. Ills
bronzed face and stout brawny arms and
work-hardened hands, mark him as a true
son of the soil mid no lazy sluggard, and so,
are an honor to Win. But why he should
dress in such away that the very boys in the
streets are tempted to holler "Country" at
him, is beyond our comprehension. Ile
knows what's nice and what isn't, as well
its any man, but seems to think. that on ac
count of expense or some other reason that
these things are not for hint. That's all
nonsense. The day is gone by when all

neglected. How many persons, when they
take a cold, consider it of no importance,
and let it run on, without reflecting a
moment ou its consequences. Remember
that neglected colds are frequently danger
ous, and often result in diseases most diffi
cult to cure. A cold in the head produces
cough, then comes pain in the side, fever,
difficulty in breathing, and finally ends in
Consumption. Who would suffer from a

CITY OF "
Cubell County, West Virginia
The beautiful City of Virginia Is situated in
emboli County, West Virginia, near the Guyan
dotto River, and Is convenient to the Central
Railroad and the Ohio River. The
land is fine, and the climate delightful. The
surrounding country is thickly settled. Coal
and Wood in abundance. The River is naviga
ble and steamers pass the city, and transit can
belad in that way.
All those who first apply to us, shall receive a
lot in this city
and a full warranty deed, signed, sealed and at
knolnedged, will be sent, by return of mail.
The charge allowed by law to the Commission
er for acknowledging the deed is One Dollar,
and the United States Revenue Stamp will be
5U cents. These requirements must be met, and
therefore we give the lots away to the first 1,000
'rho apply.
You will ask why we give these lots away:
We answer, that theinfluence of the thousand
lot holders will be exerted in favor of the place,
and many will settle there, and every house
built in the city will cause an advance in the
value of the remaining lots, and as we retain a
sufficient number of lots we look for our inter
est In the town being very valuable in it few
years.
The site now covered by Chicago, Cleveland,
Toledo, Cinchmatti, and many of the large
cities was sold a few years ago for a few dollars,
and now the lots bring fabulous prices. With
the influence and natural advantages possessed
by this town, it may in time rank with the
large cities in wealth and position.
Wo expect that all receiving a lot will tiNe
their influence in favor of the town, even if they
do not settle there themselves.
No taxes due for a year and then but a few
cents,and we will attend to that for all who
may wish it.
Abstract of title, deeds, and other papers are
on file In our office.
SEND FOR MAP OF THE TOWN.
Be sure and write your name and midi...,
plainly, and enclose one dollar and fifty cents
to pay the United States Revenue Stamp and
the Commissioner for acknowledging the deed,
and the return mail will bring you your deed
made out according to law.
No one will be allowed more titan one lot
FREE. Those wishing tveo lots or more to
gether can have them by paying Sll per lot for

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
NINE 111.71 , .;DRED AND SIXTY MILES
Of the line West from Omaha are now com
pletedomd the work is going on through the
Winter. As the distance between the finished
Portion of the Union and Central Pacific It:
is now less than •100 miles, and hoth COlll
- are pushing forward the work with great
energy, employing over :iO,OOO men, there can be
no doubt that the whole
GRAND LINE TO TILE PACIFIC
Will be open for business In the Summer of 16.69.
The regular Government Commissioners have
pronounced the Union Pacific Railroad .to be
FIRST CLASS in every respect, and the Special
Commission appointed by the President says:
" Taken as a whole, The Union Pacific Railroad
has been teen constructed, and f/c genera! rattle fur the
Use creeedinglo will Aeleeted. The energy and perse
verance with 'which the work has been urged
for ward,and the rapidity with which it has been
executed are without parallel In history, and in
gr:milcur and magnitude of undertaking it has
never been equaled." The report states that
any deficiencies that exist arc only those inci
dent to all now roads, and that could not, have
been avoided without materially retarding the
progiess 01 the great work. Such deficiencies
arc supplied by all railroad companies alter the
completion of the line, when and whet ever ex
perience shows them to be necessary. The re
port concludes by saying that "the country has
reason to congratulate itself that till.; great work
of national importance is so rapid's - approach
ing completion under sueli favorable auspices."
The Company have now in use 137 locomotives,
and nearly 2,000 cars of all dsseriptions. A large
additional equipment is ordered to be ready in
Die Spring. The grading is nearly completed,
and ties distributed for 120 miles in advance of
the western end 01 the (nick. Fully lat miles of
iron for new track are now delivered west of the
Missom I river, and 00 miles more are ea route.
The total expenditures for construction pur
poses in advance of the completed portion et the
road is not less than eight millMn dollars.
Be , ,ides a donation from the Government of
12;00 acresner mile, the Company 1s entitled to
subsidy In U. S. Bonds on its 11110 as completed
and accepted, at the average rate or :wont

GOVERNMENT AID—SECURITY OF THE.
BONDS.
By its (diluter, the Company is pet tattled to
issue its own First Mortgage Bonds to the same
amount as the Government Bonds, and du »awe.
Tta,e Bonds are a First tgago upon the
whole road and all its equipments. Such a
mortgage upon what, for a long time, will be
the only railroad connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific btates, takes the highest rank as stile se
curity. The earnings from the way or local
buslue:s ior the ,year ending June 00, on an
average al 472 were over FOUR MILLION
DOLLARS, whica, utter pay trig all expense,
were much more than sutheien t to cover all in
terest liability upon that, dtstance ' and the
edrnings for the last live months have Men
Sliditiii,SM. They would have been greater, if the
road nail not been taxed to its utmost capacity
to transvort its own materials for construction.
The Income Mom the great passenger travel,
the China freights, and supplies for thc new
Rocky Mountain States and Territories, must be
ample for all interest and other liabilities.
No political action edit reduce the rate or
