T HT, very latest is velocipede candy The maker suggests that it is not worked with the feet. THE "Young America" fire company have disbanded—cause, Chief Burgess took and locked up their engine. Right, Jacob perhaps they did more harm than good. THE RAFTING SEASON.—There is every prospect of an unusually early com mencement of the rafting season, and we may soon expect an inundation of the hardy anus of the forest. BULLETIN BOARDS.—We see that a couple of our citizens have taken up our re marks on the placing of _bulletin boards in our borough, and petitioned Council to allow the erection of the same. PENNSYLVANIA CANAL.—Mr. Joseph S. Gilt has, for some time, been surveying atom.. g• the Pennsylvania Canal. This canal • is to be made ten to fifteen feet wider, and at the same time is to be made deeper. The .towing path in many places is to be raised. Quite a strong force of workmen are now engaged on these improvements. THE 22d IN COLUMBIA—Monday, the 22d of February, passed otl quietly in Columbia. It was generally observed as a holiday, nearly all the stores and places of business being closed. No public demon stration took place. The Weather was -wet and disagreeable—especially in the after noon. EXCURSION RATES FOR THE INAUGU RATION :—The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany will issue tickets at reduced prices from all points on their road on the 2nd and 3d of March, good to return on the 4th, Zth and Gth inclusive. Excursions tickets may also be purchased from Baltimore to Wash ington and return, on the 2cl, 3d and 4th of March, good to return three days from date of sale. NILITARY'.—We Itould be pleased to see a good military company organized here, and suggest that a meeting be called at an early day tin• that purpose. We have material to form several companies that would reflect credit on the town, and it only needs the proper effort to be made suc cessful. The Zouaves should have been made a permanent organization. To CORRESPONDENTS.--It is a waste of time and paper to send us communications written with pencil and on both sides of the sheet. We have not the time to re write them, and consign all such to the waste basket without reading. It is too late in the day for any sensible writer to prepare matter for the press in that man ner. READING.—" Young America" will have a reading room in Columbia, if older ones will not. Masters Rob. Crane, Char lie Mayer and others, have fitted up and stocked the basement of dwelling corner of Second and 'Walnut streets, with good books, papers, 4:c., that they, as well as others who wish to call, may spend their evenings in profitable and instructive amusement. This is certainly very com mendablepm the part of the little fellows. ) UN CLAI MED LETTERS.—List of letters remaining unclaimed in the Columbia Post, Office, up to this date. Persons call ing for these letters will please mention that they are advertised in the SPY : Ladies' Li.o.—Alice Taylor, Cordelia Shear. Jennie Smith, Ellie Reese, Sarah Irnmaill, Estella Jones. Rose Hildebrand, A. 31. Hays, Mary Ann Green. Gottlemen's Li.s.l.—Charley Sourliear, C. Ross, James MeNane, Charlie Morris, Charles Hookei - , John Hostetter, William Gowan, John Deng. OF LABOR.—it will he seen by the correspondence in another column that Rev. W. S. H. Keys, of the - United Breth ren Church, of this place, will deliver a lecture, entitled the "Law of Labor," in Odd Fellows' Ilall, Columbia, on Tuesday, 16th of March. Mr. Keys is one of the most eminent, as well as eloquent divines, in this part of the country, and is folly .able fur and conversant with the subject he has taken for his theme. No person should Sidi to hear him. We have no doubt but Odd Fellows' Hall will be packed on the occasion. TUE ORDER OP UNITF.D AMERICAN 7.llEcii.A.Nic:4.—This order is increasing quite rapidly in our State, eleven new Councils having been instituted in Lancaster county alone during the past Year. The State Councillor, George W. Jinkins, has ap pointed J. K. Snyder, of No. 8, Deputy for that county. The next session of the State Council, Juniors, will be held on the hith of April in the House of 'Representatives, at'llarrisburg. The State Council. of the Senior Order will meet on the same day in Harrisburg, and are expected to occupy the Senate chamber. A.NOTTIER FlRE.—Monday morning, a little before one o'clock, our citizens were aroused by the cry of lire, Ivideh soon brought forth our tire department and a large number of people. On repairing to the spot, we found the fire originated in an unoccupied building on Commerce-street, belonging to D. L. Bantngardner, and :known its the rope'-walk. The building was •entirely consumed ; loss trifling. It is 'hoped that the scoundrel who is doing this incendiary work may be caught and hung. We:learn that an attempt was made to :tire the Susquehanna Planing Mill but a -watchman frightened the party off. LARGE FUNERAL.—The funeral of William Gleaves took place on Friday after noon, 19th inst., from the Franklin House, and was largely attended. Susquehanna Lodge No 80, I. 0. of 0. F., turned out in a body to pay the last tribute of respect to their ancient brother. Mr. Gleaves taught school in this borough for many years, and was at the post of duty only a week or two before his death, notwithstanding he was in his eighty-seventh year. He had a kind word for every one, and was known by every school scholar in town—even by the little ones who were scarcely able to ar ticulate, "Daddy Gleaves." All the public schools of our borough turned out to the funeral, and it was a sight that we will not soon forget, to see such a large concourse of scholars following to the last home of man, •the remains of a beloved teacher. WINTER.-o, ' for a genuine winter? Not the winter of all seasons in one • sucli as we now have, and call winter, hut a good •oldfashiened one- such as we used to enjoy in by-gone times when one could blow to •warm the lingers and freeze to his heart's •content—when cold weather meant the .thermometer at or below zero—if it went •down to twenty-five below zero, all right. In those days we used to see the beautiful turnouts, and listen to the jingling of the -sleigh bells which made music to charm alit) wintry breeze, and the still more melo •deous music of the merry belleS who rode .in the sleighs and music to charm the ears •of attentive listeners. 0. ye gods and little fishes! does not the recollection of scenes like this make the heart young again and :almost cause us to think that we are 'there .once more? "But clays like these can ne'er return, :Vain Is the sigh, the wish is vain." FINE HOG.—MeSsrS. F. Saylor & Son slaughtered on Wednesday last, an extra ordinary fine porker.. It was raised by Mr. D. Engle, near Marietta, and it weighed when dressed considerably over five hun dred pounds. We did not learn the exact weight. . LOCAL PAPERS.—There • are many per sons who either take no paper at all, or else take one front a distantnity, and when they wish to see what is transpiring in their own neighborhood, they beg or steal the local paper from some citizen more liberal than themselves. 'll . aity men of this kind are engaged in business and frequently grum ble because people do not patronize "home industry" when they practice the very thing of which they complain. THE MILDNESS OF THE PRESENT WINTER..—It can now be said that we have passed through the mildest winter ever ex perienced since the year 1841, and we may look for a very sickly summer. Our authorities should be active in having our streets and alleys cleaned. Some of them are in a filthy condition and already emit a stench. One of our most prominent phy sicians informs us that typhus, typhoid and intermittent fevers result front foul air, so that even if we are spared from an epi demic next summer, we may be afflicted with the treacherous typhoid unless we keep the streets clean. FlRE.—Fire broke out on Sunday even ing, directly after our churches bad been called, in a frame stable belonging to the Pine Creek and Seven Stars hotels, owned respectively by Cornelius Tyson and P. S. AlcTague, situated on Front street, between Union and Perry streets, entirely consum ing the building and contents. The fire men were promptly on hand ; the " Young America," a company composed of boys, with a crank engine, ran to the river, haled their engine, and were loudly cheered when they threw the first stream on the tire.• The fire is supposed to be the work of an incen diary. UNITED BRETHREN GENERAL CON FEnEscm.—The General Conference of the United Brethren in Christ, will commence in Lebanon, Pa., err the 20th of May next. This is the highest body in the church, and all legislative authority granted in the Con stitution of the church is vested in this body. It meets every four years, and is composed of three delegates from every annual Conference which are chosen from among lire ministers who have ordained to the office of an Elder for three years pre vious to the sitting of General Conference, and who for that length of time have been a member of the Conference from which they are elected. In selecting these dele gates the entire membership, male and female, has a vote. The delegatesjust selec ted to represent the Pennsylvania Annual Conference are Rev. J. Dickson, Rev. J. M. Bishop and Rev. - W. B. 'tabor. TILE VOTE FOR TILE TM:CHES.—We have been requested to state that the vote for the torches will not be announced until after the close of the Fair. The voting will cease at 10 o'clock this evening, when the votes wilt be counted, and the re sult announced. Each voter will mark plainly on an envelope the nu tuber of votes, and placing the money and the name of the Company voted for inside the envelope, will seal it and deposit• it with the person who receives the votes. The result of the contest will thus be unknown to any one, not even the person in charge, until the envelopes are opened and the votes count ed. Envelopes and,cards will be furnish ed gratis at the Fair. Let every one vote for his or her favorite company. SONS or MALTA.—Lodge 400,Sons of Mal ill, of this place, 'celebrated Washington's .birthday by giving n banquet at Findley's Continental Hotel, About thirty persons participated on the occasion, which came off very pleasantly, and wits greatly enjoyed by every'one. The whole affair was iion ducted in the best taste; but the tables whereon was displayed a most tempting array of creature comforts for the "inner man" presented the most attractive feature; and we must say that they were unrivalled in general looks, as well as in the choice viands they groaned under. Great credit is therefore due to the proprietor of the •' Continental" for the get-up or the enter tainment. The Sons of Malta are now in a more flourishing condition. They have lately amended their by-laws—about on a par with the Odd Fellows. They pay weekly and funeral dues, and benefits to their sick, and have made other important changes in ,t.c. And now this ancient older is about to rank with any of the institutions of the day. lIALLEct: os PENNsYLYANIA. 7817. —The billowing extract from the life of the poet, HaHeck, recently published by Ai): Pleton & Co., IN'.

The old bridge, then three years old, was still without a roof and trust have afforded a splendid view of our unrivalled scenery at the most lovely period of. a summer's day It is not for us to complain of comparisons between different portions of the matchless scenery of the Susquehanna; but every Co lumbian knows that Wyoming with all its beauty, is not quite up to the standard of Columbia. Indeed, critically speaking, there are but two landscapes in the World that can compare with ours. The view front Duncannon looking South and 'East, and Huntingdon from Warrio r'a Ridge, looking South, with Jack's mountain in the back- ground : "On my return from It.iltirnore to Philade! phut, I took the upper road, by the way of York and Lancas ter.

It is a fair specimen of the vale of Wyoming, rondo,- ed sacred by the muse of Campbell 'The loveliest land of all That see the Atlantic wave their morn re-tore:" CoLumalAxs An rto.tp.— : -We make the following extracts from our Kansas ex changes. It will be seen that our former fellow citizens,,Alex. Caldwell and Wm. A. Martin, are among the distinguished citi zens of that State, and rank foremost amongst its business men : The Leavenworth, Atehiso'n and North western Railroad Company completed its organization recently by electing the li>l lowingoflcers: President, Alex. Caldwell. rice President, John Wilson. A - ecretary, Wm. A: Martin. Treasurer, D. W. Eaves. The company is now fairly in working order, and active operations will be con.- tnenced without delay. The grading will be let to sub-contractors,and in a very short time the spade and wheelbarrow will be at work all along the line. From present indi cations it is highly probable that the cars will be running to Atchison by mid sum mer. The contract for the construction of the buildings which Mr. Alex. Caldwell pro poses to erect, in Leavenworth city, on the Richards-Abernathy lots, on bela ware street, lately purchased by him. was this morning awarded to James A. McGonigle, whilst the architecture of the same will be under the supervision of Mr. Stillwell. These! buildings are to be three stories high, and twenty-four feet wide by one hundred and ten feet deep,respectively. TIM amount of Mr. McGonigle's bid was 318,000, and the well known energy and ability of this gen tleman as a builder is the most assured guaranty that the buildings will prove an ornament to the city- Alex. Caldwell and the other members of the committee appointed to raise money on the county subscription to thelbridge, will leave to-morrow for the East on their mis sion. The importance of the trust reposed in these gentlemen will doubtless evoke all the energy for whicili they are distingu ished. Go To THE FAIR.—Go to the Fair at 0. F.

Church on next Sabbath, at usual hours, by the Pastor. Morning Subject : "A Pas toes Greeting." Evening Subject: "Jacob's Ladder." COLUMBIA has some good stores, a fact that is well known to the people front the surrounding country, who visit our town to make their necessary purchases. We do not know a better place to buy clothing, boots, shoes or any kind of notions, or gentlemen's furnishing goods then at the store of I. 0. Braner, 1f rout street, above Locust, Columbia. Mr. B. buys and sells for cash, hence he can sell at cheaper rates than those who buy on long time. Call around and examine at I. C. Bruner's. Wi cut the subjoined paragraph from the Lancaster Express of Wednesday eve- ning : A prize of ten dollars was recently offered to any member of the Connecticut Teachers' Insti tute who would write and spell correctly :the words In the following sentence: "lt is an agree able sight to witness the unparalleled embar rassment of a. harnessed peddler attempting to gauge the symmetry of a peeled onion, which a sybil has stabbed with a poinard, regardless of the inuendoes of the lilies of cornetian hue." Thl rt y-eight teachers competed for tile prize, but not one was successful. The reader will observe that the Express has also attempted the task and hat; ue eeeded no better than the teachers. PAY Fouts Blids.—We this week send our bill to a great majority of those who are indebted to this office for subscrip tion, and we ask in all kindness their prompt payment. Attend to it at • once while you think of it. The amount is small to you, but in the aggregate exceed ingly important to us. We /MVO a largo amount to make up, and we will consider it an especial favor if you will pay the "lit tle" duo us. We know your consciences will be lighter and easier. Reader, if you are embraced in the list of delinquents, please consider this paragraph addressed to your identical self. DIRECTORY OF LA.NC.A.STER COUNTY.— Walter Kieffer, Esq., of Lancaster city, is now in town soliciting subscribers and ad vertisers for his directory. We have ex amined his list and find it embraces many of the prominent business men of Lancaster city and county. Amongst the advertisers, we find merchants, =matte t nrers, physicians, lawyers, editors, etc. The work will contain about six hundred pages, and will be a book of great value to every farmer, mechanic or man of busi ness. We bespeak for Mr. Kieffer, a large list of subscribers and advertisers from Co - • lu mbia. ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning la§t, whilst Ed. N. Smith, son of E. K. Smith, Esq., President of the PirstlNational Bank, of this place, residing at Fairview, adjoin ing the borough; accompanied by a man employed as laborer on the premises, were on their way to Columbia, in a vehicle, to attend market, met with quite :t serious ac cident. The facts, as far as we could ascer tain, are as follows Just as they were pass ing under the railroad bridge, below the round-house, the Lancaster train, which leaves this place at 8.30 A. M., passed over, frightening their horse, which becoming unmanageable threw both parties out on the track of. the Columbia d Port Deposit Rail Road; the former striking his chin on a rail, breaking both jaws, cutting his face and head severely, besides receiving other s bodily injuries. The latter was also bruised to a considerable extent. FRon ICAPLF.S.—We are indebted to B. It. Mayer, of this place, for Naples pa pers sent over by G. C Franciscus, now so journing. at that place. Wo make the fol lowing extracts from the _Naples and Flor ence Observer: Garibaldi speaks of Rome as the den of ell that.la-riaoat. laltlecraa tho Jauan.an Mr. Childs. the editor of the Philadelphia Ptebtic Ledger.and one of the leading A mer icanditerary men, is at present - in Naples. Charles Dickenc, for his farewell readings (which are, it is said, to extend over the United Kingdom to one hundred nights), is to receive 10,000 front Mr. Chappell. Notwithstanding the severe weather of the last few clays we hear there are some Eng,lish gentlemen who take sea baths every morning. According to n Parliamentary return just issued in London it appears that the num ber of British iron-plated ships afloat is thirty-four; there are also ten building. Paris commences the year 18d9 with .13 theatres with spectacles, Ili/ public balls, and 33 cafes-concerts. The total annual gas bill of these establishments is estimated at eighteen millions sterling. The Lord Bishop of Gibraltar left Naples for Rome on Thursday morning last, from whence he proceeds northwards and after wards to Marseilles and England. We be lieve be will not revisit Naples before the month of December. The Vienna journals state that a unasked ball recently held at the Clovsee of that city, two masks, representing Counts de Bis marck and de Boost, promenaded arm-in arm through the rooms. The spectacle caused such loud manifestation that the po lice intervened, and ungraciously invited the two pseado-ministers to a night's lodg ing in the lock-up. Snow in Naples, except to cool ones beve rage during this summer heat is rather a novelty, as wehave had none for the Inst four years. It is whilst we are writing snowing away famously and the weather is bitterly cold. The Neapolitan proverb says " “ennajo secco Massaro ricco." After the late sharp weather t hen we may expect an abundant harvest. Considerable amusement was created yesterday afternoon amongst the piedons in the Villa Nazionale, by the fact that a lady's curl was seen lying on the side walk near est the Riviera di Chiaja. No one however had the courage to do as the gentleman in Hyde Park did,who when be found a chig non lying on the foot path held it up on has stick—thereby causing nearly all the ladies who passed hint to put their hands to the back or their heads. No, we repeat, no one had the presence of taint! to do this, or we might have seen a blush on several pretty tines as they glanced at the stray lock lying on the gravel, for more than one we thought hail a look of guilty conscious ness that she might possibly be the owner of it. •• The Law oi• Labor."

S. BAD BOTS.—On Wednesday afternoon last, as a boy named John Rinehart, from York county, was coming into Columbia, he was met in the vicinity of .Black's old hotel and robbed of his pocket-book. The boy was asked if he had any money about him; be replied a little, when he was told to give it to them, and on refusing to com ply, ono of the jnvouile robbers drew a knife. They then took all the money he had—about two dollars. The pocket-book was nearly new--a present from his sister, and contained her photograph. Any information which will lead to the detec tion of the boys may be left at this office, or with officer James McGinnis. NORWAY OATS.—We published alt ar ticle on Norway Oats in our paper of the lath inst., showing the great humbug in that commodity, as practiced by Jones Lt Clark, New York. Since then we have received several letters in reference 'to the nutiter, and one from the above firm, making a very weak defense, but at the same time acknowledging that they had re ceived an inferior quality of the oats from Western New York, sc. Nil.. N. P. Boyer, of the _lnter lean Stock Journal, Parkesburg, Pa., was the first to import this oats into this country, and the firm alluded to are doing business on his reputation. We are personally acquainted with Mr. Boyer, and know be is a man of truth and veracity, and would not stoop to cunning deceit or hum buggery.

Being both a stock and mutual corporation, it possesses the advantages of both without the objectionable features of either. The stockholders are personally liable for the security of policy holders, and the mutual policy holders, without sharing the risks, participate to the fullest extent in the profits of the Company. The income lust year was double that of the preceeding year, and its outgoes consist mainly of death losses and dividends to mu tual policy holders,—which have been for many years 50 per cent. The assets of the Company, as shown by their advertisement in another column, are nearly $2,500,000. Its policies being all non-forfeitable, its. dividends meeting future premiums, and its life policies being all payable at the age efeight years, must commend it to every prudent person, Every facility is given to assurers consistent wilts security, assisting them in their payments if necessary, by grunting loans for temporary accommoda tion.

EDIT() IL . q —ln my last, I inti mated the bare pessibility of County Super intendents being 101 l uenced in the grading of certificates by the fact of the applicants having attended Normal School; [remem ber that in 1858-'39 and GO, the Superinten dent of one of the interior counties of the State was, during the sommner term, the paid Principal of time County Normal School, and that the fact was severely ani madverted upon at the time, and that some one remarked that his exatnining the EMl dents of said school, the ensuing tall, when they applied for schools in the county, was like unto "a miller inspecting his own Hour," and I thotight at the time th.tt the comparison was very apt. Now, I per ceive that the present Superintendent of the same county, in his last, animal report, says: "I opened tr Normal Institute for three mouths, that those who wished could have the benefit of my feeble efforts ; my school numbered 57, (probably he means the scholars numbered 57.) most of whom did well. 1 have no doubt but that their efforts will tell on the future progress of our schools." (I hope that "but" is a typo graphical error, or it aught make hint the butt of sonic one, who would feel like ex pressing the hope that his Normal class was not taught such grammar.) I will merely remark that it was not in human nature for that Superintendent to examine applicants for schools last fall, without feeling some partiality towards those 37 who had paid him their matrieulation fees. Did other equally meritorious applicants suffer thereby? _Enough of Normal Schools for the present. Changes in our school law are :Mont being proposed to the Commis*ioners by Superintendent Wickersham, but "it is scarcely proper to discuss them in this place." Why nut, pray ? Is it front the fear that the people might not endorse the proposed changes, and might advance such arguments against their adoption, as would outweigh with our legislators all the Super intendent's arguments in tlmir favor? I have no notion of this manner of ignoring the people when their dearest rights are being made the subject of legislative tink ering, and I feel a presentment that another ons l aug h t u po n our school law is intended, which, like the One Or two years :ace, would not bear discussion by those most interested. viz: the people, and therefore, "only a few copies for Senators" were printed, (not published,) before the bill came up for action. I tried in vain to pro cure a copy of that proposed amendment, although I applied personally to Superin tendent Wickersham, and also to two Mete hers of the Legislature, each of whom promised to trg to procure inn a copy. Does any one s oppose that amendment (?) would have been enacted into a law ilprop erly discussed through the press, making, as it does, " Boarding school misses and beardless boys" (I don't quote from the amendment) it committee to pass judgment upon the qualifications of those who taught before they were born? Now, are we going to have some more such amendments sprung upon us, at an hour too late for discussion ? - - The Superintendent says " Parents even think more or getting money than knowl edge for their children." And why should they not ? It the parent loves his child, he will seek to consult that:child's . happiness, and the happiness of any one must depend largely upon the estimation in which he is held by the community in which he moves. and as long as society remains what it is, just so long •will the parent continue to show his love for his child by "getting money" for him in preference to knowledge. Look around for a moment, in this, or any other community, and show 1110 one case in which respect is shown to a man on ac count of his superior fund of knowledge, and I will show you a dozen brainless fel lows, to whom the hat is instinctively raised by society on account of their wealth. A sailor, soon after being paid oil after a long voyage, was accosted by a foot-pad, who demanded Ids money, threatening to "blow his brains out" is he refused. "Blow away," said Jack, 'better be without brains than without money." Now, Jack knew ik . miething of the importance which money gives its possessor, and it will take some •thing more than tinkering with the school law of Pennsylvania to bring about those halcyon days when parents will not " think more of getting money than knowledge for their children." A word or two more on the subject of Normal Schools ono of these days. COLUMBIA. Feb. 20, 1969. - :SI.

When the heel is rais ed, as is the prevalent custom, the bones of "the thigh, pelvis and leg, as well as the foot, are thrown into an abnormal position; Lind while the bones maintain their plastici ty, the effect of such unnatural tension is sure to be perpetuated in the shape of crook ed shins, bandy legs, elephantine toe joints, and a cramped, ungainly gait.

FIRE IN NVRIIIIITSVILLE.—About half past four o'clock, on Wednesday morning, a fire broke out in Wrightsville, consu ming three houses, ono of which was occu pied as a bakery and Irony which it is sup posed the lire originated. Two of the houses belonged to Mr. Rankin. One of the burned dwellings wns unoccupied ; but we learn a family had their goods ready to move in on the morning the building was consumed.

FRIEND NEED.—Grace's Celebra ted Salve is a friend indeed. Who has not found it such in curing cuts, burns, bruises, scalds, felons, boils, and even the most ob stinate old ulcers and other sores. It is a wonderful compound, suited alike to the skin of the child and of the adult. "THE proof of the pudding is in the eating," and the proof of everything else is in the trial of it. 'We have often spoken in praise of Wana maker t Browns Clothing house because we believe in their enterprize and success. But we never asked our readers to take our word in the case. We do not suggest how ever, that it is hut justice to themselves that they should taste this pudding to see if it. is not as good as represented. One suit will decide the matter—and you can be none the loser and maybe much the gainer.
