'6lje •tiquiddit gpg. Columbia, Pa. Saturday, iffarch 20, 1869. Advertisements, to secure immediate in sertion, must be handed in on or before Thurs day evening, each week. ED. N. SMrrli is about again A GOOD NIGHT'S WORK.—A little over nine hundred dollars were taken in at the fair on Saturday evening last: SEE advertisement of S. H. Purple •in in to-day's paper, and bear in mind that you will save money by calling on him for your trees. I. 0. 0. F.—The delegation of Odd Fellows from Pittsburg to the celebration in Philadelphia will number about six hun dred. They will be accompanied by a brass band. NEW BOROUGH CONTEMPLATED.—It is stated that the citizens of Lift,: are making an effort to have that place, and the adjoin ing village of Warwick :u•ectal into a borough. SAID a very old man : "Some folks al ways complain about the weather, but I am very thankful when I wake up in the morning to find any weather nt all." That old gent's head is level. ABOUT seventy- thousand Odd Fellows urn expected to participate in the send centennial anniversary of the establishment of the Order, which is to be held in Phila delphia on the 2Gth of April next. MANKS.—Dr. J. G. Uamp, who is now prospecting in Georgia, will please accept our thanks for late Georgia papers. Mr. S. S. Struchan, of Washington, D. C., will accept thanks for valuable flivors re ceived. SECURED QuAßTEtts.—The Vigilant Steam Fire Engine Company. of this place, will attend the parade at Harrisburg on the 26th of May next, and have secured quarters at Frank Dietrich's. Franklin House, in that city, ADVERTISING.—The fair of the Vigi lant Steam Fire Engine Company, held in Odd Fellows' hell, last week, was a com plete success; no festival ever being held in Columbia realizing so handsomly. The company attribute their entire success to judicious advertising, it is thought about fourteen hundred dollars will be made, clear of expenses. As IMPROVEMENT.—EnveIopes are now mode with the mucilage on the lower part of the envelope instead of the flap. On moistening the edge of the flip, as usual, and pressing it down upon the gummed surface below, a verb• thorough adhesion takes place, without the objection of getting the taste of the gum in the month, or re moving a part of it by the tongue..' LARGE HoG.—A hog raised by Mr. John S. Wissier, of Manor township, was slaughtered by Mr. Frernan, a butcher, of Lancaster, which weighed, when dressed, 720 pounds. It was about two and a half years old. This speaks well for Mr. Wiss ler as a pork raiser, and shows that he is worthy of a place among the enterprising farmers of this county. We believe this is the heaviest hog reported in this county this season. ()on. NEw BAtcn.—This accomplish ed body of amateur musicians is progres sing iinely On several occasions they favored our fair-going citizens with their very fine music. We hope that FAS a body they will continue to survive the changes incident human affairs, and be to our to - An an ornament and a blessing. They want new instruments and our citizens should lend them a helping hand. The band now consists of eleven pieces, with R. J. M. Little as leader. FASUlONs.—Scarlet slippers are occas ionally worn with black or white dresses. Fur the latter they may do; for the cornier they certainly are not in good taste. Black satin boots are very fashionable lor all occa sions when black shoes of any kind would be worn, but the decision of-Madame Mode that the shoes should be made of the saute material as the dress. Luce has become a furore in New York. All the old chests and boxes of grandmoth ers have been ransacked to get the hall-fbr gott:n cobwebs of a thrtner generation. akLICO BALLS.—Calico balls are fash ionable, but the manner of making up the dresses renders them (thy. dresses) worthless as gifts to the' poor after the ball. Calico balls, as once given, were intended to com bine pleasure with charity. Calico dresses were wore over the ball costume, at a specified hour taken off, and left with the hostess, who, the following day, gave them away to worthy poor people. Just now, however, tho dresses are made up in all .sorts of fantastic, ridiculous manners, gen tlemen even appearing in calico pants. •vests and coats. There is nothing to be .dono with them after the "party," and. they :must go into the rag-bag. The original iidea was a sensible freak of fashion. PRESENTATION OF A CAK E.—The cle• glint pound cake having nine simile of the Vigilant Steam Fire Engine upon it, anti which was. given to the company by Mrs. Wilson. was drawn by Mr. Will Speriug, one of the members of the company. Mr. S. gave it into the hands of Mr: dames H. Daily, who took it to 'Harrisburg and presented it to the Citizen Steam Fire En gine Company of that place. who are IIOW holding a fair, and where it was taken and placed upon one of the tables. Mr. Jostph Montgomery received the cake on behalf of the company, extending thanks to Mr. Spering, Mr. Daily and the Vigilant Fire Company. The Vigilant of Columbia will be the guests of the Citizen Steam Fire En gine Company of Harrisburg, at the parade to take place in that 'city on the 2Rth of May next. SEASONABLE ITINTS.—Now is the time to commence cleaning up; making garden, planting trees. making walks, trimming : and fixing up generally. No one need be without fruit if he has only one spare foot of ground in which he can stick a Concord (Grape Vine. Most of our town lots are llarge enough to contain fruit trees and vine get:Luigi/ to produce fruit sufficient for fami- Ay use. Get your trees fresh from the ground ; allow no sun to touch the rootlets In removing -from•- - t he -N ursery to - the grounds. Plant about one inch deeper than what the t ree stood in the nursery. Always shorten a little the shoots of all trees plant ed. Also cut tite ends of the roots smooth with a sharp knife if bruised with the spade in digging. Aim to have trees so that the hot dry sun will not have full effect on the ground around the roots. Many who bare trees in gardens plant raspberries under them ; the partial shade seems to be good for the 'raspberries, and helps the trees. Blackberries would no doubt do well in the same situation ; and strawberries it is well known do not so badly, grown in a similar -way. The gooseberry and currant also do - well in partial shade. Remember that fruits are like grain and vegetable crops, in this: they must have manure to keep up fertility. Unlike vegetables and grain, _however, their feeding roo4s , are near the surface. It' is best, therefore, an asny to top-dress fruit trees. 13LITZ1 with his-learned_ canary •birds &c., at 0. F. Hall, to-niglit: • WHISKY SmzultE.—Ww.U. -I[ess, Assistant Assessor of this Division, seized on Theaday last, seventeen barrels of con traband whisky. It was locked up in a garret in a 310115 W belonging to Martin Grube, on the ITarrisburg turnpike, in Rapho towirthip. Punmc Gam:in.—lt is well known that the Into Samuel Wright, deceased, left a munificent gift of valuable ground front ing on the river; the rents arising therefrom to he enjoyed forever by the citizens of what is known as "Old Columbia." The Trustees of this fund, have built a school house, and •purchased additional land to that already belonging to the trust. We do not believe that this trust was intended by the doner to benefit, generations in the far future, to the delusion of the present one. Where aro the children that this fund has educated ? A school house has been built at great ex pense, but we have not heard of a single person (belonging to Old Columbia,) being educated free in it. The revenues de rived from the rents of the public grounds, are certainly sufficient to pay a good teach er, besides the establishing of a public library. This matter should not be over looked. There are many boys belonging to indigent parents who idle away their time on the streets, who, if educated, might be an ornament to society and the country. PUBLIC SCIWOLs.—The pupils of the High school of Marietta, under the charge of Prof. I. S. Geist, paid a visit to the Pub lic schools of this borough Thursday, being the especial guests of the 1 Ugh school. Some days since, the pupils of the High school paid a formal visit to the Marietta High school,and were very kindly received, and upon their return home expressed themselves as being much pleased with their visit. This is a feature of school-life that has not had much attention given it, but wo are decidedly in favor of it; it brings pupils from different schools. In contact with each other as pupils they see the various operations of their respective schools, and it breaks the monotony of school days which are wont to become irksome. We hope that hereafter such visits will be made and returned not only between Columbia and Marietta, but between Columbia and and Lancaster, Reading, York, We have been informed that on Monday next Mr. D.tvid Evans, County Superin tendent, will pay his annual visit to onr Public Schools. ORGAN IZATION OF VOLUNTEER FORCES. —Gradually but thoroughly, the Adjutant General's Department is proceeding in the work of organizing the militia forces of the State, and we anticipate, from what has al ready been done, tinit it will require but a short time to secure a large and efficient volunteer army which will be a credit to Pennsylvania by always being in a condi tion for immediate service to the National Government. An entire regiment at Phil adelphia, called the Fritz's Guards, one company at Reading, one at Easton, two at Scranton, and one at Harrisburg, have just been armed by the Adjutant General: It is understood at the Department that in many parts of the State active efforts are being made to get up similar organizations, so that, as we have already written, Pennsyl vania will soon have a thoroughly organ ized and splendidly equipped volunteer army.—Stale Guard. We would like to see Columbia at work in the organization of a military company. We have the material to form a battalion. Some enterprising young man start the thing. THE CALICO BALL.—The calico bull given in Odd Fellows' Hall, Wednesday eve'g, was a perfect success. The affair was gotten up by members of the Vigilant Steam Fire Engine Compank and others, for the laudable purpose of promoting a spirit of good-will, mirth and mutual kindness be tween all parties, and to abate any little acerbity which may exist in social life. A very general invitation was issued, and the number of guests in attendence was grati fyingly large; although the convictions of religions duty prevented many others from attending this, or any other festival occa sion during the solemn season of Lent. Yet we think those who did attend, can find ample reason for so doing, in the words of the Divine Teacher, in his sermon on the Mount, "blessed are the peace-makers." Upon entering the hall, our ears were glad dened by the sounds of the familiar strains of music from our popular Schmied string band, who are acquiring a high reputation . as "musicians." The ball opened with Prof. Schmieirs Sons of Malta March. At tCr WarliS Oak() fie. Soon the I livers :and their friends were involved in the whirl and torn or the dance, and tilled with the spirit or social pleasure and festive delight—indeed a feeling of joy beamed from the countenance of every one pre-ent. But the ladies in calico gowns. we can hardly trust our pen to spunk of theta.

FRO3I PHILADELPHIA VIA COLUMBIA AND WRICIIITSVIL - LB TO YORIC, ETC,—The new railroad bridge across the Susquehan na river, between Columbia and Wrights ville, says the Phil'a 1?. R. and Mining Register which sits vis a vis on the banks of the broad and grand Susquehanna, is now open to railroad traffic, trains making reg ular trips across it. One of the consequences of the new bridge at. Columbia is the transfer of the York and WrightSville Railroad, 13 miles long, from the lessees hip of the Northern Central Rail way Company to the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, whereby the latter company is put into operating connection with the Northern Central Railway at York, 95 miles distant due west from Philadelphia. This new arrangement will greatly facili tate communication between York and Philadelphia, and simplify operating ar rangements between the Northern Central and Pennsylvania Railroad Companies, in asmuch as, under the bid programme, (when cars were hauled acrose the old bridge at Columbia with horse power, and also from date of the burning of the old structure to the inauguration of the new steam-power crossing,) the Pennsylvania Railroad Company operated as a branch the piece of road between Dillersville and Columbia, whilst the Northern Central Railway Company operated the 13 miles of road between York and Wrightsville. This was awkward, bat it is non ended ; and from York to Philadelphia an un broken line is now operated by the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, exactly as from York to Baltimore an unbroken line is now operated by the Northern Central Railway Company. This new programme ought to stimulate Frederick city to hurry forward her State Line Railroad to Littlestown, whereupon from Frederick city, as from Gettysburg and from York, there will be continuous communication by railroad to Philadelphia and via Philadelphia to New York, over a line operated throughout by companies united in interest by compact and friend- ship. The country west of the Susquehanna river, on both sides of the State line be tween Pennsylvania and Maryland is pic turesque, healthy, populous, productive, opulent ; but the absence of a locomotive bridge across the Susquehanna at Columbia has hitherto had the effect of keeping it in comparative isolation, from the country east of the Susquehanna. This isolation, now happily terminated, will doubtless be followed by new links of road in sundry in viting places, including one from York to Orford, whenever.the people of York shall resolve on its construction, with their own abundant 411Q0,115. If canvassed properly York would unhesitatingly subscribe for a sufficient number of shares to assure the construction of a load direct to Oxford, from which she would derive both conse quence and trade, neither in small measure. York only needs a little of that vital and potent ambition which may be defined as public spirit, to enlarge the circumference of its influence, multiply the number of its indwellers, and at the saute time increase the channels and swell the 'currents of its trade.

It was the most successful, as well as the best man aged fair ever held in Columbia. The gross receipts amounting to two thousand dollars, and the expenses are not very heavy. All honor to the ladies who so successfully and creditably carried the project through! Be fore the close of the evening the presenta tion of torches, cushions, tassel, &a., took place. They were all gifts of the lady friends of the Vigilant, and are most beautiful presents. The torches were made expressly to order and under the direction of the ladies. There aro six of them and cost $l7 a piece. In presenting the torches, ate., C. S. Kauffman made the following re marks : To the President:and Gentlemen members of the Vigilant Fire Company : Having been selected by the ladies of Columbia, to present you with a set of silver torches, I now have the extreme pleasure of doing so. I shall in a few days furnish you with a list of the ladies that contributed to the fund for their purchase. It is proper for me to say, that few or none refused to contribute generally, not only being willing, but anxious to do so, feeling as much pleasure in giving as you will in receiving. Accept this gift from theladies as a token of their esteem, and with the hope that by this mark of their regard, you will in the future, as in the past, be Vigilant ; not only in fighting the devouring ele ment, but also Vigilant in keeping the character of your Company up to the standard it now has for gentlemanly de portment, so that they can at all times feel proud to point to your company es an honor to our city. W. H. Walller responded on behalf of the Company, as follows: Ladies :—Tho "Hivers" accept these beautiful presents with grateful thanks, and while they will ever preserve them spotless and uninjured, the remembrance of your kindness in presenting them, will be preserved. The presents are indeed beautiful. These pretty torches are a grand piece of workmanship, and we promise you that we will ever keep them filled and burning in token of remembrance of the (loners. The elegant cushions, strike the eye with the idea of comfort and ease; but they sagest to our minds your readiness ever to extend the comforting hand in our misfortunes. These tassels are resplendent with brilliancy and remind us of the brightness of your smiles to cheer us on to duty. To thank you with words, were a poor attempt to express our feelings. Since the organization of our company you have ever been hand-in-hand with us, to promote our efficiency as firemen ; and now after weeks of labor and the most admira ble management on your part, we are re lieved front debt, and enabled to purchase a lot of ground on which we expect soon to erect a building suint hie to our wants, and we trust an ornament to our town. While this building shall stand, and while our company shall exist, your names shall form part of their history. We will ever strive to merit the gratitude or our citizens, and will share with von, ladies, whatever laurels we may win. We shall always be proud to refer to you as the basis of our success. Comrade fireman, join with toe in pledging to these ladies our sacred honor, that "when the cry of fire resounds through all the street , , And Nt•h Hsi through the gathering murky pall Wm.'s the pattering fall ol feel;"" And when there is need to "Face the fiery King, And ha: tie with the fiend of name, Then through the 1.1:1r1: and stormy night, The •!liver' cry will he•we come: '' Again ladies, ono and all, we thank you. The speeches wera well received by all present. The cushions are very handsome and a credit to the maker, Mr. Samuel Carter, of this place. They are for the seats of the steamer and will go far towards further decorating their 'beautiful:apparatus. In the midst of the presentations, excite ment, hilarity and mirth, the Vigilant dog was not forgotten, as a beautiful collar was presented by Mr. Charles 11. Plitt:ler. It was handed over to the President of the Company, who responded on behalf of the dog—" Not for Joe." The ball was perfectly jammed during the evening, by persons awaiting the result of the drawings. The lbllowing %vere among the lucky ones: Prof. Studer, china set ; PIA b, barrel of flour; Mr. A.

KEYS' LECTUR E.—Tuesday evening was one long to be remembered by those who were so fortunate as to be present at the delivery of Mr. Keys' lecture on the " Law of Labor, - at Odd Fellows' Hall. It was a rich intelhictual treat, and we were truly glad that tile speaker was greeted with so largo and appreciative an audience; but sorry that there were not more of the working-men of Columbia present, as it was an occasion on which there shun:a not have been one empty seat, or indeed, any unoccupied standing room, as a long time will elapse before the occupants of that hall will again listen to a ;lecture so wall worthy of their attention. Mt= A. synopsis of the lecture cannot fail to do great injustice to both lecture and lecturer. yet we feel disposed to give a brief one, if only for the purpose of making those xvho stayed ao•ay the more ileoply regret their absence: The speaker started out with the idea that the law of labor was universal. "All things labor. Inactivity forms no part of God's design." The design is visible in all God's works ; every ate at of the whole of i lob's universe has its allotted labor to perfeein, and performs it. The sun works; every thing works. Even life itself depends on effort. The lungs work, the heart works, and all our pleasurable emotions are_t hi' result of labor; let one—only one—of the thousands of nerves that interlace the phy sical structure of man, be idle—cease to perform its allotted work—and the means of enjoyment are at once abridged. Agencies have been at, work from the time that God called order out of chaos, to produce the elements that make up for man's comfort. loresLs have been growing, coal fields forming in the bowels of the earth, reser voirs of oil accumulating, iormations of rock undergoing such changes as lit them for man's use, ttc., titc., and all the result of ceaseless labor. To establish hilly the de sign of Deity that man should labor—labor is made the condition precedent of all healthy developetnent—physical, moral or intellectual. Great minds become stulti fied and dwarfed by inaction, and as at converse of the proposition, mental labor develops the latent powers of the mind. In proof of this position, the lecturer paid a glowing tribute to the self-made men of our own and former times. Our moral natures beemne likewit;e planted by' inaction. Its for our physical natures, tha loci urar Corse ly said, "ono hour of honest toil will do more to exorcise a legion of blue devils, than the whole Afaiaria _]Medics, or a thous and pious prayers and priestly benedic tions." This point was happily illustrated by an ancient allegory. Even our devo tions are aided by our labor, as the mind and body are both invigorated thereby. The duty of society, and the effect of the false estimate in which labor has been held from the earliest times was eloquently and feelingly dwelt upon t in the course of which portion of the lecfure, society was 'lhandied Without gloves," and if there were ally present whose consciences told theist that they were included in the category, they must have winced. "Through all the ages, the condition of labor has been marked by oppression and disgrace"—wealth, no mat per how . ohtitined, and descent, Of merit , , • , MIS= being the open sesame to "goo d" society. This false estimate of labor is seen not only in the social position assigned the laborer, but also in the substantial reward given him. God has said that "the laborer is worthy of his hire," and the attempt to de fraud him of it always redounds to the dis comfiture of the oppressor. " How shall labor be ennobled?" By the joint action of society and the laborer. Man is compelled to assume the position that society assigns him, and only with the consent of society can the status of the la borer be exalted; remunerate labor prop erly ; labor must and will be paid, if not in one way, in another ; if not with the con sent of society, without its consent. Labor and interest must be identified. The duty of the laborer himself , was hap pily dwelt upon. Education—not that of the schools, but self-education, being one of these duties, and one of the indispensi ble requisites to the obtaining of a proper social position. The peroration was eloquent, as was the lecture throughout, and all who heard it can congratulate themselves on being pres ent, and will look forward to the time when they can enjoy again so rich a treat. May this be the commencement of a series of entertainments of a similar character, the oneouragem'•nt of which will redound more to the credit of Columbia, than filling the hall at every exhibition of buffoonery or legerdemain. Pleasant Paragrapbs. MEssns, EDlTOnS.—Within a few days we have been gladdened by so many marks of kindly consideration at the hands of our friends, that,wi th your gracious tad ulgence, we feel to utter through your paper sonic feeble expressions of our gratitude. On the evenidg of the sth inst., our home was invaded by a whole army of "unfledged angels"—made up of the innocence and beauty of our town, who had determined not to be.outdoito by those other "minister ing angels" in their work of love, and with well-tilled caskets. poured in upon its their abundant heat I-offerings of generosity and good-will. The party, made up as it was of the lovely daughters of our generous townsfolk —irrespective of all denominations— Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodist, Re formed, United Brethren—all uniting to do us some loving and generous deed—made this the most pleasant sat priSe of our life. And to the dear girls who glided in upon us like Heaven's bright sunbeams, we can only say, God bless you! and may your lives be always as joyous as was our home when gladdened by your presence. And then on the night of the 15th, we were again dispossessed of " house and home," and " thrown out upon the cold (?) chari ties" of " full baskets," with " plenty to eat," and generous donations of "wear," while our spacious rooms were " crowded and jammed" with warm, loving hearts, who had thus dropped in to say a " God speed" to their preacher, and then:go away with their baskets "turned inside out," and their minister far better oil' than the raven-fed Elijah, who, in the "strength of his meat" could go only forty days, while the,parsonage rejoices to know ti n t its wants have been "tabled" for a much longer term than that. The many kindrtes , es of the good people of Cobrrnbia have greatly endeared them to our hearts, and we only pray that, under God, in some way we may be able to repay their goodness, and prove ourselves wor thy of their love. God bless them! NV. 11. S. E F. KEYS. 31rt1.l Slam GOODS—A.I.Ii KlNDS—Ad vertised in this issue, liv 11. Ward. Read advertisement and give hinta call. This is a reliable house of long standing.
