TUNACCO C EW ERS, CHEW Tula
Soule arithinatician calculates that if a
tobacco chewer consumes two inches of
plug a day, fir fifty years, he will chew in
that period sixty-four hundred and seventy
five feet, or nearly half a utile an inch thiek,
and two inches broad, costing two thousand
and ninety-Live dollars! Arid ejecting one
pint of saliva per day for fifty years, the
total would swell into nearly twenty-three
hundred gallons—a respectable lake and al
most enough to float the (treat Eastern in!

A NEW• [NI-EN-mos.—We were shown
a few days ago a new patent for bending,
tire iron, punching ttppera tits, Lt.°. To a
blacksmith who has any great amount of
tire bending to do, this new improvement
is invaluable. It was invented by Mr.
James M. Bryan, of Penningtonville, Ches
ter county, Pa., and was used by him at
his shops for some nine years. There are
now many of them in use in this county
end in Chester county. Mr. Bryan is a
blacksmith and a thorough practical me
chanie—hence this great invention.
The objects of the machine are to bend
either light or heavy iron when cold, to
bend it to any given diameter or radius,
and to punch cold iron, th e machine being
operated wholly by hand. It is a common
adaptation of the lever su arranged in its
parts as to yield great power. One Mail of
.ordinary weight can bend, with this ma
chine, tiriys four inches by one inch, or three
by one and a half inches, when cold. In
punching, dies and punches of any form
may he used, the die fitting in a hole under
the plunger, and the punch in a hole in the
plunger, and held by a set screw.
Every blacksmith should have one of
these machines—they will bend cold iron,
light or heavy, and can be set quickly, with
exactness to any desired diameter or
radius.
Punches and dies of any shape or size.
Cultivator teeth, dm., dm., may also be set
with, using dies of the desired form. Shears
for cutting cold iron can also be applied
after the same manner.
It is a common adaptation of ibe lever, no
arranged in its parts us to yield immense
power. It is quickly changed from bend
ing to punching. and viceversa. It is strong
and durable, and not liable to get out of
order. •
" SPIDER."—The Hirers have appoint
ed a committee to negotiate for a " spider."
IMPROVEMENTS are daily being made
in the upper part of our borough.
SUGAR goes up in price as the article
goes down in consumption. The dealers
just now appear to take particular delight in
being sweet on their customers.
ST. PATRICK'S day, the 17th of March;
comes on Wednesday this year. Prepara
tions for celebrating the day aro already
being made in the cities.
PASTOR ELECTED.—At a congrega
tional meeting held in the Presbyterian
church of this place, on Wednesday eve
ning, February 24th, the Rev. Mr. 13. H.
Wltherow, of New Jersey, was unanimous
ly elected pastor of the congregation.
WISLER'S BEER.—Mr. Jacob F.
ler, of this place, has taken license for the
manufacture of" Wisler's celebrated cream
beer." He is prepared to supply his
friends with this beer from his residence,
No. 217 Union street.
ButrDiscl.—lt is said that there will
be considerable activity in the building line
the coming season. Most of the improve
ments, however, will be small dwellings
for mechanics and laborers, and of these
there are a large number already under con
tract.
Inos Won.K.s.—lt is rumored that a
Sew York gentleman, named Bell, who
owns a tract or land on the Susquehanna
river, near Conowingo bridge, intends to
erect, large iron works on the same. The
Columbia and Port Deposit Railroad will
pass the works.
WIFE BEATER PROPERLY TREATED.—
Alderman Carpenter, of Philadelphia, com
mitted William IL Dyer for beating his
wife one day last week. We expect to
have the pleasure lu a short time, to hear
that our Squire Evans has committed a cer
tain citizen of Columbia for similar mis
conduct. If be does, we shall give full
publicity to the fact, in large, staring capi
tals, so that all may see and know who is
mean and brute enough to strike or lilt rest
=I
NUISANCES.—How long do our pro
gressive City Fathers intend to allow our
sidewalks to he obstructed by those relics
of ancient times and a by-gone generation,
the old pump-stocks, that indicate the
places where our forefathers used to obtain
their water for household purposes? Prob
ably until the plank covers rot through,
and spill some one in to be drowned—or
maybe they are preserving them as memen
toes of the past.
UNCLAIMED 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 Sev
Ladies' List.—Mrs. D. G. Yerger, Chris
tian Sears, Kate F. Stokes, Barbra Heile
man, Mary Hurtindale, Annie E. Gavin.

gari, Berru Painter, Patrick Medanne, Al
bert Merely, Solamon Martin, Harvey
Lowery, .Toha Leibhart, Amos Heistand,
Thomas French, All. Brieher, Gust. Brooks.
LEARN TRADES.-1t is a pity that
there is so little disposition to learn useful
trades among the youth of the day. They
want to be clerks, which business is over
crowded, or to enter one of the professions,
where success now is rarely achieved. They
can be much more useful to society, and
more certain of making an honest and hon
orable livelihood, by mastering a trade,
which is a sure reserve to full back:upon in
after life in case of failure in some other
calling, and in nine cases out often pays bet
ter than a profession.
DEATiI or A I )IALI ParcrEn.—Mrs.
Lydia R. Bailey died in Philadelphia on the
21st ult., in the 91st year of her age. She
curried on the printing business in Phila
delphia for over fifty years. Her husband,
Robert Bailey, died in ISOB, and she contin
ued the printing until ISBI. Previous to
the Introduction of steam-power presses,
she had one of the largest offices in the city.
Mrs. Bailey %vas elected "City Printer" for
a number of years by the old City Councils.
Among those who served their apprentice
ship with Mrs. Bailey were the late Robert
P. King, the surviving partner, Mr. Alex.
Baird, and Mr. Pagan, the stereotyper.
THE W HEAT PlCOSPECT.—Everywhere
the word is that the wheat, throughout our
county, never looked better at lids time of
year: Traveling agents in all sections of
the country concur ita this pleasing report.
It will be worth the consideration of every
farmer who still holds his old crop, whether
it is not advisable to dispose of it soon. Let
such keep watch a few days longer, both of
the prospect fur the coining harvest and
the tendency- or the market. If he con
tinues to hear good reports, and discovers a
downward tendency of prices, he may safe
ly conclude it wise to sell what he may have
on hand.
VoTE ox THE Toncims.--The
fonowing is the result of the voting on the

amounts to -,376.:10, leaving $316.30 clear
profit to the fair, all of which is • a good
thing for tile fai r.
ntsT Till E.—A train on the Chicago

A vro INTMENT.—WaII.H. Fry has been
appointed to a clerkship in the office of the
Reading& Columbia Railroad, at this place.
E. F. KEEVER., Esq., has resigned his
position as General Freight and Ticket
Agent of the Reading & Columbia Railroad.
A CO MIWITTEE of enterprising ladies
arc soliciting subscriptions from our citi
zens for the purpose of purchasing four
torches to be presented to the Vigilant
Steam Fire Engine Company, of this place.
The act is very commendable, and the la
dies should be encouraged in the enterprise.
3hSSIONARY ANNIVERSARY.—The an
nual missionary meeting of the M. E.
Church, of this place, will be held next Sab
bath. Preaching at 10 A. M., and 7P. M.,
by Rev. J. E. Smith, of Philadelphia. The
Sabbath School anniversary will be held
in the afternoon at two o'clock. All are
invited.
PENNSVINANTA RAILUOATL—The an
nual election for Directors of tho Pennsyl

following were elected: Edgar Thomson,
Josiah Bacon, Wistar Morris, George Black,
of Pittsburg, Samuel T. Bodine, Joseph B.
Myers, Edward C. Knight, Washington
Butcher, John M. Kennemy, John Rice.
IMPROVEMENT.—Mr. F. S. Bletz is
tearing the front out of the building former
ly occupied by the post office, preparatory
to putting in a handsome glass front, simi
lar to his dry goods store. The improve
ments are to be completed by first of April.
A. R. Brenemau will occupy the building
as a hat, cap, and gentlemen's furnishing
store. Thus we are progressing.
PEAcH Caon.—ln the upper part of
Kent county is not injured yet. Last year
the trees bearing no fruit made a vigorous
growth of wood and are consequently bet
ter able to resist frost and cold. Our peo
ple have not become discouraged by the
failure of crops in the past, but aro continu
ally setting out young orchards of many
thousand trees. A good crop of peaches
the present year and good prices would bo
a great relief to the finandial a filth.; of our
country.—Clayton, Del., 11 erald.
RiILANT FAIR..—The fair for the
benefit or the - Vigilant Steam Fire Engine
Company, will commence on Monday next
in Odd Fellows' Mal, continningone week,
and a brilliant and successful occasion Is
already presaged. Every preparation is
being made by the committee to add to the
display and attractions, and tho members
are receiving hearty co-operation from the
community. Articles intended to be dis
posed of at this festival are now on exhibi
tion at the jewelry stores of C. I'. Shreiner
and E. Spering, Front street, Which are well
worthy of examination.
TuE WEATitEa.—lt is difficult to wake
any calculations with regard to the weather,
now-a-dayi. A. stormy morning is likely
as not to be the precursor of a brilliant and
beautiful afternoon, and one may retire to
lied with the moon and stars shining bright
ly upon him, to awaken to the clatter of
hail, the splash or rain, or the angry roll of
thunder. It is not safe to go out without
an "umbrella,' - and yet that useful article
may not be needed one hour in the con rSe
of the day. As for providing against sud
den changes of atmosphere, that seems to
be out of the question. _Never, within the
range of our memory, have throat and lung
diseases prevailed so ,generally
present.
A DESERVED COMPLIMENT. With
pleasure we chronicle the fitct that onr
young friend, :NEI*. H. C. Lentz, who has
been in theemploy of the Reading Az Colum
bia Railroad Company, at this place, in the
capacity of clerk, for over four years, has
been elevated to the position of General
Freight and Ticket Agent of said road, to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the resigna
tion of E. F. Keever, Esq. From Mr.
Lentz's past record, we know that he.will
make a most faithful and efficient officer.
Having acquired, during his long connec
tion with the company, considerable
knowledge of the duties pertaining to the
position to Which he has been so wisely
and deservedly appointed, lie will need no
drilling to become proficient in its various
branches in a short time.
MIDDLETOWN ENTERTRISE.—...I. move
ment is betng outdo in Middletown,Dauphin
county, for the erection of shops fur the
manufacture of curs, which promises to re
sult in success. The corporation will be
known us the Middletown Car Manufactur
ing Company. A . 'fleeting was held on
Monday evening which was largely attend
ed and 101 l of enthusiasm. Committees
were appointed on charter, location and
stock, and subscriptions made to the capi
tal stock, of the company amounting to
over $20,000. The association will meet
again on Friday evening in Smith's Hall,
when it is fully expected the subscription
will be increased to $2.1,000. They intend
to apply for a charter and begin operations
without delay. The citizens of that borough
are throwing oft the incubus of lethargy,
and making rapid strides in progress and
the development of mechanical enterprise.

QUENTS.—eII, ain't
(
you a pretty set? How in the name of
common sense do you expect us to live,
"working for nothing and finding our
selves?" We have sent out during the past
week or two, bills to the amount of about
two thousand dollars ; and what do
we get in return? only about eighteen dol
lars. This is all wrong friends, patrons,
enemies, or whatever you are—decidedly
wrong. Material must be paid for,compos
hors must be paid, as ;cellos the devil. Our
paper maker is pressing us ; notes protest
ed; landlords about to chew us up; and all
this on your account, delinquent. Some of
you will hear a doleful sound ere long—we
will " push things." Sorry to put you on
the Black List, but pay up. There are
many of you owing us small amounts,
which appear to you, perhaps, too trifling
for serious thought, and with the gratifying
reflection that you are " able to owe us,"
you dismiss the subject, if it ever comes up
in your mind. Know, then, that our busi
ness is made up of " little" amounts, which
in the aggregate are exceedingly important
to us, and without which we find it difficult
to " paddle our canoe." Just lend us a
helping hand, then, in time of need, you
that are indebted to us for two or three
years, and we shall look upon you as
deserving of praise. To those who have
been punctual and prompt, we return
our sincere thanks,and shall of cousre,
`use our endeavors' to give them
the worth of their investment.
Velocipedes.
ESSRS. EDITORS.—The general impres
sion appears to be that the velocipede is
something entirely new, while so far from
that being the case; I remember seeing a
gentleman riding one in the streets of Phil
adelphia fifty years ago, which was, in all
essential features, exact ly the velocipede of
the present day—two wheels, the front one
managed by a cross-bar, upon which rested
the hands of the rider, to guide its coarse, a
long perch connecting the wheels, and on
the perch a saddle that could be raised or
lowered to suit the bight of the rider, the
machine propelled easily and rapidly by
the feet. So distinct is my recollection
of this machine, that I could make a draw
ing of it, or give a description sufficiently
accurate and minute to guide Mr. Myers in
the construction of a new one. J. M.

DELICIOUS MEmclNAE.—This is the
universal verdict pronouneed upon Planta
tion Bitters by all who have tried them.
The well-known health-promoting ingredi
ents front which they are made, and their
invaluable merits as a remedy for indiges
tion and all its conseqnent ailments, and
the preventive qualities against diseases
arising front climatic changes, miasmatic
influences and imperfect secretions, are so
widely known and so honorably endorsed,
that we trust no one will forego the advan
tages of their use.
Magnolia Water.---Superior to the best
imported German Cologne, and sold at half
the price.
'faELIE are many good old jashioued
people among us who are very naturally at
tached to old styles and old-fashioned.
Even where the new fashions and styles
are preferable, they are not so to them
whom any change in their dress, for instance
would be like a change in their nature. It
is too lunch the habit of business men to
ignore such people and neglect any provis
ion for their wants, so that it is pleasant to
see in the trade circular of a house such as
Wanarnaker t Brown's an item like this—
under the head of
" Pantaloons,
• Broadfalls "—Mr old-style gentlemen,
Plain comfort:Lble cut—for such ltti have
more regard for comfort rather than style.
CoNSPMPTION CURET.—_\n Etri:ern
medical periodical gives an interesting; ac
count of the complete cure of Mrs. Amos
Stauffer, of Manor, Lancaster county, Pa.,
of hereditary Consumption. Her parents
and several brothers and sisters died of this
terrible disease. Mrs. Stauffer was herself
reduced to a mere skeleton ; the pulse at
140 ; her breathing painfully difficult.; ex
pectoration very excessive; diarrhea worse
than chronic, and her condition so hopeless
that at a conference of the old and skillful
physicians she was prononneed incurable.
At this stage or the disease, Dr. S. It. Dart
n, of M illersvi Ile, Lancaster county, Pa.,
a physician of fourteen years standing, pre
scribed Mishler's Herb Bitters. The patient
soon experienced a pleasing invigorating
sensation throughout her system, and en
couraged by her friends to continueunder
Dr. llartman's treatment, she did so grad
ually improving under increased doses ac
cording to her strength until she entirely
recovered. Mrs. Stauffer is still living, in
her lull enjoyment of perfect health. C. B.
_Herr, Eeq., President of the Lancaster
COU illy (Pa.) National Bank, substantiates
the particulars 01 this must wonderful case.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT—MARRIAGE
ESTRA.ORDINARY.—A rather extraordinary
marriage took place at Little York, Pa., on
the 25th nit. The bridegroom is in the
sixties and the bride over one hundred
years old. The parties. never saw each
other but once before the day of marriage,
and it might be called a case of pure love
at first sight. The bride is well known by
many in this community, and is a popular
personage where she resides. Many of the
most prominent persons of York have call
ed to pay their respects, making the aged
pair presents, 4:c. She says no more hard
ships now for her. Site will live the new
life which she has so auspiciously begun,
with comfort and ease—leaning on the
strong arm of a doting and loving husband
for support and consolation in all her trou
bles and trials. The following is the mar
riage notice:
