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

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.

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.

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.

After the presentation of the cane by the

said be desired to reyerse the order at this

Gentlemen of the Committee: You have made me

GLOSS NO UP of Tat: FAIR C
Ladies' Fair of the Vigilant Steam Fire En
gine Company, closed on Monday night
with the most pleasing results. 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

REV. 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!
