several married ladies connected ctith the
fair, who are very much excited lest their

ROBBING IN CHESTER COUNTY.—In
the neighborhood of Penningtonville and
Parkesburg, Chester county, daring rob
beries are committed almost every night, of
late. N. P. Boyer, of the American. Stock .
Journal, Parkesburg, was robbed on Sat
urday night last, of $1709. They took the
money from a pocket-book under his pil
low, on Saturday night. No clue to the
daring theft has yet been ascertained. A
short time since, the robbers entered a
dwelling, and actually cooked and ate their
supper. At another place breakfast was
cooked, and the inmates of the house were
ordered down stairs to eat, and when the
man of the house came down stairs, he Nt as
knocked down by one of the robbers.
The people of Chester county should. bo
on the look-out for the rogues, and giv'e
them a reception of buckshot when they
enter your dwellings. , - •

INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.—On Tuesday
afternoon about foar o'clock, when Bridget
Harvey, an aged woman • who lives on
Fifth street, was crossing the bridge over
the river at this place, and when near half
way across corning east, she met a miscre
ant named Henry Snow, who caught her by
the throat, and robbed her of ten dollars,
then threw her violently upon the floor and
attempted to coninlit a nameless crime
upon her person. The complainant strug
gled with her assailant and called Or assist
ance, when the wretch, finding himself
balked, endeavored to throw her oft' the
bridge into the river, she becging piteously
for her life.
llenjaminGontn or, a watchman upon the
bridge, seeing the struggle and hearing her
cries for help, ran to her assistance. The
defendant tried to make his escape to
Wrightsville, but was , beetled off by the
watchman at that end of the bridge, when
he turned and concealed himself upon a
burthen train coming east. He was follow
ed and arrested on Front street, and taken
before Samuel Evans, Esq., who commit
ted him to jail to answer at April sessions.
The defendant when sober, is an indus
trious and peitteable man. He has been
working with the repair gang on the P. H.
8., and has a family. Tie lives in Kline's
Bow at the basin.
This is a terrible warning to young men,
against indulging too freely with intoxica

FOLLOWING General Grant's principle
that the offices should be filled from the
people and not by professional office-hold
ers, selected by professional politicians, a
move has been made in a quiet country
town in this State, which, if successful,may
result in a national revolution as regards
the old plan of filling offices. At Millers
ville, in this county, the citizens lately held
a meeting to consult about the appointment
of a postmaster for their village. After
some discussion, it was resolved to call a
special election, on' the principle of the
Crawford-county system, at which every
Republican voter should be entitled to a
vote, to select a person who shall be nomi
nated to the Postmaster General as their can
didate for the atillersville post office. The
county representative in Congress was no
tified of this action. The consequences of
this meeting may be much snore far-reach
ing than the actors in it suspect. The prin
ciple enunciated in their action involves a
radical change in the present appointing
system, and the change is one in harmony
with the general tendenciesof the Adminis
tration. Great political oaks have grown
from smaller acorns than this.
READING.—We paid a flying visit to
Reading, on Thursday last, and iind that
town increasing rapidly, but the "Fathers"
are reticent in the matter of having the
streets and pavements kept in good
trim. The rapid growth of that quaint
old city is notable in every street, new
and improved buildings going up every
where. The people show activity, enter
prise and spirit. The large manufac
turing establishment's, the machine shops,
the commercial, and the railroad interests
that centre there and connect with various
portions of the State, all produce an impres
sion of youthful vigor and freshness upon
the visitor.
But one .thing Reading, is behind in,
and that is a substantial and commodious
passenger depot. The old rickety and in
convenient buildings now occupied as pas
senger depots,are a disgrace to that go-ahead
town.
Of the editorial fraternity, we were glad
to meet Elliott and Shultz, of the Dispatch ;
Sanderson of the Gazette; Shatters of the
Times; and A. S. Whitman ; all of whom
seemed to be on the.highroad to prosperity.
As an evidence of advancement we may
mention that the Dispatch is aboutputting
in a new Hoe press, and extending their
printing facilities. A. S. Whitman and Mr.
Ifollibush have opened a job office on
Court street, which bids fair to become a
most prosperous institution.
Mishler Moers do an extensive dry
goods business at the celebrated Globe
Store. There aro few stores in the State
that will compare favorably with theirs in
point of elegance, convenience, quality of
goods, &c. The proprietors are enterpri
sing, liberal and progressive.
We accidentally met the Prince of Brewers,
Mr. Frederick Lauer, whose brewing estab
lishments, vaults, fte., are the most exten
sive in the 'United States. His ale has a
reputation second to no other make, be
cause of its elegant flavor, pare quality, and
made with care and of the very best mater
ials. His works at this time are taxed to
their utmost capacity in order to supply the
demand for this celebrated ale, not only for
home use, but throughout the United States.
He had just sent off some fifty barrels to
the proprietor of the extensive restaurant
in the National Capitol, and other places in
Washington city. Mr. Lauer is extensive
ly known in this country, not only as a
brewer, but as having one of the deepest
Artisan wells. Ile is liberal in ideas, pro
giessive in spirit and popular in all move
ments that pertain tothe public good.
We were pleased to meet Mr. Joseph
Rannbo,another one of Reading's solid men.
He is a driving go-ahead person, and an
extensive dealer and shipper of cattle,
horses, hogs, mules, dzc. Be obeys the
scriptural injunction, which says: "Be not
forgetful to entertain strangers." We were
hospitably entertained and set down to his
well spread board in the midst of his large
and interesting family.
Mr. Hoover is a butcher and deals out
beef, veal, mutton, pork, fie., of the very
finest quality. His shops are on Penn
street in the business centre of the city.
Isaiah Rambo is a dealer in the sweets
and luxuries of this life and his confection
ery store may be found at 030 Penn street,
while his brother, near him, is a plumber
and an extensive dealer in gas fixtures.
Having just remodeled his premises and
fitted up a room expressly for gas fixtures
—alarge assortment of, which be has just
received from New Ybrk.
Mr. J. C. Bunting is perhaps the largest
dealer in hats, caps, &a., in the eity. • He
has a aplendid store and is doing an exten
sive business.
We like Reading and a visit lo that place
is always agreeable. 2
U. S. INTERNAL REVENIII NOTICE.—
All persons residing in Columbia borough

By an act of Congress March 2nd, 1807,
persons refusing or neglecting to make
such returns are liable to be assessed accord
ing to tie best 'information the AssesSor

according to law. Wm. U. Hess, Assistant
Assessor, Division 11, 9th District.
THERE is 'no citie - stion' but -tbat• some
people are exceedingly bard to fit with
ready made clothing. They are .peculiarly
shaped ; they aro too long or too short, too
broad or too thin. But no such persolkneed
despair. Wanamaker d: Brown undertake
to lit all such ; and have cutters and tailors,
always on hand whose special work it is to
quickly alter garments so as to make them
fit. Of one thing, they may be certain any
how,, and that is, that if theie is any place
in the land where they can belitted it is out
of the immense stock at Oak Hall:
THE importation of rags from the Med
iterranean, hides from Brazil, and other
commodities from the tropics, is known to
bring the germs of disease, chiefly fevers,
which are sometimes very afflicting and
fatal. Ayer's Ague cure stimulates' the
Liver to excrete these germs from the sys
tem as effectually us it does the miasmatic
Poison of our Ague districts. Ccnsequent
ly it affords invaluable protection to steve
dores and others 'whose occupations expose
them to these dangerous infections ; and
we hope to render them a valuable service
in giving them this information. ,
STORE LOAFERS.—Some of our places
of business and stores are cursed with loaf-.
ers or hangers-on—persons who " drop in"
under the guise of friendship, but really
they are enemies to the proprietor; They
will sit around, talk politics, fill the room
with the fumes of bad tobacco, and conse
quently many a lady or gentleman that
would buy at such a place are kept away.
One of these places we may name is the
store of I. 0. Bruner, Front street. Mr. B.
keeps on hand a very fine assortment of la
dies shoes, and he says this loafing busi
mess :is a great :detriment to him, as ladies
no not care to visit his - store when filled
with hangers-on. End
MANY a man has read with sorrow, the
announcement that "The American Life
InsurAnce Company of Philadelphia," de
clared a dividend of fifty per cent. ou the
Ist of January, 1869. Sorrow, not because
of the great prosperity of that Company,
but because, during the past year he had
almost made his mind to enter it, but had
allowed himself to be diverted to some
other company, which pays him no divi
dend at all, or a much' smaller one than
fifty per cent. He'll do better nest time,
and will advise all his friends to got into
"The American" in time for the next divi
dend. F. Hinkle, M. D.,.agent for Lancas
ter county.
TILE fame of the celebrated Plantation
Bitters has no parallel in the history of Med
icine. The thousands upon thousands of
bottles that are made and sold daily is but
proof positive of their wonderful virtues.
Thousands of Certificates can be produced
showing efficacy and certainty of the cures
which they efiect,and the Medical Fraterni
ty, usually so jealous of anything which
causes persons to think and doctor for them
selves, are compelled to acknowledge their
wonderful virtues, and prescribe them
under other names. They are sold by all
druggists.
Magnolia Water.—Superior to the best
imported German Cologne, and sold at half
the price.
BEAR in mind that Mishiers Bitters is
skillfully compounded, free from injurious
component parts, agreeable to the taste, and
destructive, to disease. If you detect any'
changefrom the natural functions of your
system, no matter how trivial, or where lo
cated, or if disease has already entrenched
itself, the really true and reliable remedy
in either case is Mishler's Herb Bitters.
This assertion is based upon what we know
it will do in relieving, curing. and warding
off disease. For want of space we cannot
detail the diversitied'uses of this Bitters but
its general effects upon the human system
are to purify the blood and secretions ; cor
rect morbid changes in the blood, equalize
Its circulation, enrich its constituents and
regulate its supply; it imparts vitality and
elasticity to every organ ; overcomes all
functional derangements; assists in the
process of digestion ; creatics a healthy ap
petite; prevents and cures miasmatic, and
intermittent fevers, dyspepsia, liver coin
plaint, nervous headache, kidney affections
and revives the physical energies by infu
sing new life and power into the system.

Columbia's Future.
'MESSits. Erirrolcs:—ls not the growth of
our borough unparalleled within the State?
Its growth for the last three years was very
rapid, and some say it hvs reached its acme.
But they are certainly mistaken, for ob
serve the new enterprises which our active
citizens are just entering upon.
The first of these is the new fire insurance
company, chartered by a recent act of our
Legislature, and will be known and do bus
iness under the name of the Columbia
National Fire Insurance Company. -The
incorporators of this commendable under
taking, are Messrs. E. IC. Smith, John B.

Sr., Samuel Truseott, M. n. Strickler, J.
G. Hess, Geo. Bogle, John J. McTague,
Wm. McConkey, James Myers, John S.
Mann and Jacob B. Garber.
The business capacity, responsibility and
integrity of these tnen,will insuro the com
pany success fronf the first; and the citizens
of Lancaster county as well as the State,
will possess an institution that will rival in
usefulness and strength, those great monop
olies of the New England States, and obvi
ate the necessity of insuring their property
without their own supervision. This com
pany will be prepared to receive applica
tions for policies in a few days.
It is currently reported that about the
second of April. the P. R. H. Co. will pull
down the old Bellevue Hotel, and erect
upon its sight a large and commodious
depot, to contain ticket, express, telegraph
and freight offices.
There will be also a large steam tannery
built by the enterprising firm of Messrs.
Krodel & Sneath, along the line of OA
Reading S: Columbia Railroad, just on the
borough limits.
Messrs. Supplee at: Bro„ have already
broken ground for the erection of a large
foundry and machine shop.
It is estimated also that there will be one
hundred private dwellings put up this
year.
To continue this very rapid growth and
to support in future our large population,
we must have some large manufactories
that will give employment to both sexes.
Cotton mills, nail works, foundries and
machine shops.
It is sincerely hoped that the Columbia S:
Port Deposit Railroad will be pushed to
completion within the next two years, fur
it certainly would insure much business,
and also it is hoped that the petition of the
P. R. R. Co. for through trains East and
West, in order to show to the rest of the
world what we are, will be treated favora
bly.
Now to sum up all that has been done
within the lust few years, and what will be
done this year, and the efforts made to con
tinue its progression, will not Columbia be
great at no remote period ? M. G.

we get in return? only about eighteen dol

wrong. Material must be paid for,compos

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 conies up
in your mind. Know, then, that our busi

in the aggregate are exceedingly important
to us, and without which we find it difficult
to "paddle our canoe." Just lend vs a

OF TUE
UNION PALCIFIC
RAILROAD •
ARE NOW COMPLETED
As 531 miles of the western portion of the
line, beginning at Sacramento, are also done,
but about
2O) MILES IIE3fAIN
To be finished, to open the Grand Through Line
to the Pacific. This opening will certainly take
place early this season.
Besides a donation from the Government of
12,800 acres ol land per mile, the Company Is en
titled to a subsidy in U. S. Bonds on its line as
completed and accepted, at the average rate or
about $.26,500 per mile, according to the difficul
ties encountered, for which the Government.
takes a second lien as :security. Whether sub
sidies are given to any other companies or not,
the Government will comply with all its
contract. with the Union Pacific ItaProad Com
pany. .7, , .:early the whole amount of bonds
to which the Company will he entitled have al
ready been delivered.
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
AT PA R
By its charter, the Company Ispermitted to
issue its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to
the saine amount as the Government Bonds,
and no morc. These - Bonds are a First Mortgage
upon the whole road and all its equipments.
They have thirty years to run, at six percent.
and, by special contract, both
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ARE PAYABLE
IN GOLD.
iThe U. S. Supreme Court has recently decided
that this contnict. Is in all respects valid and of
legal obligation.
Such securities are generally valuable In pro
portion to the length of time they have to run.
Phe longest six per cent. gold interest bonds of
the U. S. (the It's) will be due In 12 years, and
they are worth 112. If they had thirty years to
run, they would stand at not less than 123. A
perfectly safe First Mortgage Bond like the
tin ion l'ael lie should approach this rate The
demand for Enropean investment is already
considerable, and on the completion of the
work will doubtless carry the price to a large
Premium.
SECURITY OF TILE BONDS.
t. needs no argunient to show that a First
Mortgage of S2a,3no per mile upon what for a
long time must be the only railroad connecting
