COMMENCED.—A gang of workmen
commenced the demolition of the . old Belle
vue House, Front street, on Monday, pre
paratory to the erection of a now freight
depot by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com

States Assessor of Internal Revenue for the
Ninth District, in place of John D. Warfel,
Esq. ,
SIDEWA.LKS.—PeopIe criticise the side
walks of Columbia ; say there is not a re
spectable pavement here. Last summer
the City Father did a great deal of work

OLD PAPERS.—Mr. \Vm. Block has
left at this office seine rani old papers;
amongst them a complete volume of the
Rhode Island Statesman, published in Prov
idence, in 1827; and the Oracle of Dal, phin,
published at Ilra:risburg, in 1809. It is very
Interesting to peruse over the pages of these
old documents.
BusixEss.—The Spring trade is about
opening, and our business men are receiv
ing now supplies of goods. Now is the
time to look carefully at advertisements.
Business men who advertise liberally are
generally found to possess tact and energy,
and are prepared to offer inducements to
secure custom. If you wish to make Spring
purchases, or deal in. any line of business,
look up the advertisements of live business
men.
WnEAT CROP.—In consultation
with it number of farmers, we find that the
wheat prospects were never better than they
are now.. A niueh greatei breadth of land
was sown last Fall than Tor a number of
years, and the good weather made it firm
root and the grain looks exceedingly well.
If no unforscen disaster should occur, the
wheat croft Of this country this season will
greatly exceed any crop of two or three
years previous.
SOME CHI:ST . I UT TREE.—C. Waltz,
a short time since, cut down a chestnut
tree on the farm ore. S. Shuman, in Manor
township, which takes down anything of
the kind we have yet heard of. It was a
little over seven feet across the stump; and
made ten cords of wood, ninety very large
poets and three wagon loads of chips. It is
said that the tree was about one hundred
and fifty years old. Mr. Shuman has two
similar trees, one of them he thinks is
little larger than the one above described.
CULTIVATE FLOWERS, LADIES.—If
our young ladies could but acquire a timid
ness for the cultivation of dowers and prac
tice it, we would have less ill health, more
blooming cheeks, and handsome flowers in
doors as well as out. And why should they
not? 'What on earth ought to be more con
genial to their nature and tastes? never
yet know of a young lady who was fond.or
cultivating flowers, and of botany, that was
not sensible, and would make a good wife
and housekeeper for any worthy gentle
auto.
OUR ADVERTISING COLUMNS.—Do Dot
fait•to-read the•-advertising columns. The
person who takes a newspaper now-a-days
and neglects to read over the.advertise
tnents, is apt to loose much valuable infor
mation. The advertising patronage of a
paper indicates not only the enterprise of
the town where It is published, but is also
infallible proof that the business men are
possessed of vim and go-a-headativeness.
Show us a business community who don't
believe in advertising, and we'll show you
a community where business is stagnated.
The man who advertises in a liberal and
yet discreet manner, Is sure to take the lead
of his neighbor who don't spend a cent for
printer's ink. In ninety-nine eases out oil
a hundred'the man who advertlsek keeps a
larger, better and more ,complete stock of
goods, and sells them cheaper than his rival,
who scoffs and ridicules the idea of adverti
sing. If you Want good bargains, can on

THE Odd Fellows' celebration iu Phil

RUNAWAY.—A bore attacheil to a
buggy, driven by John Moore, a miller,
took fright Thursday afternoon on Fourth
street, and becoming unmana,gable, smash
ed the buggy to pieces. Mr. M. escaped
injury.
SEND THEM IN.—We should feel
obliged to our citizens who are now or in
tend erecting buildings in this town, if they
would inform us of the same. We shall
note all improi , ements made the coming
summer if our triends Will, either by letter
or otherwise, "post" us in regard to them.
All improvements wiblished gratis.
THE P.xvEß.—Tbe river is still in first
class rafting order, and raftstnen continue
to arrive in large numbers, and contribute
largely to the prosperity of railroad corpo
rations and business men. Extra cars are
attached to western-bound trains on the
Penn'a R. R. at this place daily, for the
accommodation of the hardy sons.
FALSE ALAR.3IS.—Our citizens com
plain of the frequency of false alarms of
fire. So do we complain of the nuisance.
The apparatus is brought out, the fuel con
sumed and the community rendered list
less and careless when a destructive con
flagration does occur. Those persons who
gather up the refuse about their premi
ses and keep it until nightfall before setting
it on fire, do wrong.
TOOK THE HINT.—We are glad to
know that the street commissioners have
taken heed of the numerous gentle hints
thrown out in these columns at various
times of lateovill regard to the abominable
nuisances of pumps standing in the middle
of pavements in different parts of our
borough. They have set to work "uproot
ing" those dangerous obstructions to free
pedestrianism ; the wells to be securely
covered. The movement is eminently
proper on the part of the commissioners,
and we hope they may not shrink from
their Purpose, but compel the removal of
the last one of these nuisances. Columbia
is fast becoming a city, and the things and
customs of years ago must give way before
the giant arts of progress and enterprise.

COUNTY RI:MS.—RI RE—RUNAWAY.—
Our correspondent at Sitlungs sends the
following news :
Mr. Steinwager's dwelling and wash
house, near Mechanicsville, in East Hemp
field township, were destroyed by fire on
Tuesday night last. It is supposed the fire
wail communicated through some neglect.
They were washing on Tuesday, and loft
hot coals on (tie hearth in the wash-house,
from which the building caught fire. The
flames were not discovered until the bed in
which the servant girl sleeps was on firo,
the heat and smoke awakening her, when
the alarm was given. The buildings, with
all their contents, are a total loss—several
articles of furniture only being saved. No
insurance.
Jarrow Escape.—On 'Wednesday a horse
attached to a buggy (driven by Mr. Martin
Fry) took fright when turning the corner
at J. Weidtnan's shoe store, and dashing oft
at full speed suddenly turned a corner at
A. Strickler's, in Salunga. threw Mr. Fry
out by upsetting the wagon, making it a
total wreck. Fortunately Mr. Fry had his
life insured, and therefore escaped injury.

Gettysburg, Railroad Company, has com
menced proceedings in the Supremo Court
of Pennsylvania for a !bre-closure of the
mortgage and sale of the road. We pre
sume the proceedings will result in x sale
of the road, which has been under seques
tration for some years. There wilt be a
contest, however, on the decree of distribu
tion, as the status of Messrs. Maltby,
Northrup and Case, will probe bl .* be con
tested by other bond-holders—the issue in
volving the question whether the bonds held
by these gentlemen,originally hypothecated
to Johns, Hopkins and others, are held ab
solute or ors col laterals only. It is a ques
tion in which all the bond-holders are deep
ly interested, and we have been surprised
to learn that, with one or two exceptions,
counsel have not been employed to look
after their interests. Not only are the bond
holders vitally interested in this question of
distribution, but also in the sale of the road.
The road, with its franchise, out to bring at
least two hundred thousand dollars. Yet,
unless some arrangement or combination
be ellbated to bid, there is danger of it going
at a nominal sum, involving a hwavy sacri
fice to the borupfida• boud-hokiors,—Gettys

0131TUARY.—Dr. J. H. Kurtz died at
Philadelphia on the 3rd inst. The deceased
was in the Gal year of his age. He was a na
tive of Lancaster county,where he practiced
medicine for many years. Ho was elected to
and filled the office of Prothonotary of the
county for one term. He served as assist
ant surgeon in the H. S. Army during part
of the late war. At the time of his death he
was engaged in compounding the celebra
ted " National Bitters."
ROWELL'S NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY.—
We are in receipt of George P. Rowell's
Newspaper Directory. It is a handsome,
welt bound and well printed book. It tells
you all about every newspaper and periodi
cal published in the United States and
Canadas. Hence it is a work of great value
to every man of business, traveler or show
man. The book should occupy a pines in
every library, as it gives a person some idea
of the great literary character of the Ameri
can people.
BOLD SWINDLE.—One day last week,
Mr. Joseph Rambo, drover, of this city,
was badly victimized by a Philadelphia
sharper. It seems that Mr. Rambo had
about forty mules which the shrirper pur
chased, giving a draft on a firm in Philadel
phia for about four thousand dollars. The
transfer of the mules was made and Mr. R.
thought it time to look after the money,
and, to his great surprise, soon learned that
no such firm existed, and that he had been
made the victim of a huge swindle. The
detectives were immediately put on the
track of the swindler, and he was found,
minus the mules however. The man was
arrested and held at Philadelphia iu default
of bail.—. Reading Dispatch.
ARCH STREET THEATRE, PHILADEL
PHIA—Is ooe of the most popular places of
amusement in the United States, as well as
the most fashionable. "School" is now
being played there. It is a charmingly
natural story of a period of girlhood, full of
precious associations, the foundation of life•
long affections and friendships. The author
of this play has taken these days of bud
ding womanhood as tho time, and the
school-grounds as the scene, and from them
has managed to weave a drama full of in
terest in its development and elegance in its
construction. There is a quiet vein of sen
timent throughout mingled with a certaiza
amount of comicality in the examination
scene, and a good deal of billing and cooing
in the third act, all of which, taken together,
must prove exceedingly popular.
Our readers visiting the city should go to
" The Arch."
Tni CONTEMPLATED PARADE.—The
success of the firemen's parade on the 26th
of May, depends entirely upon the liberali
ty of our citizens, and unless they evince a
proper spirit anel manifest their support in
a substantial manner, the inoverneut will
necessarily have to be abandoned. Its suc
cess or failure will be due to them. The
firemen are cordial,enthusiastic and earnest
in the mater, and require only alacrity and
generosity to be displayed by our citizens
to originate one of the most imposing and
largest parades ever witnessed in the State.
Every merchant, saloon keeper, landlord
and businesss man is interested in the pro
ject and will be benefited a hundred fold for
his contribution to its success. With them
it rests to say whether we shall have a
parade on that day or not.—State Guard,
.1.3111 inst.
AN INVALUABLE PREPAEATION.--The
attention of our readers is directed to the
advertisement of Dr. L. Q. C. Wisburt's
Pine Tree Tar Cordial, for the cure of Con
sumption of the Lungs, etc. This invalua
ble preparation has met with such an in
creased demand during the past few years,
the proprietor has found it necessary to in
crease the facilities for manufacturing, and
has now one of the largest Laboratories in
Philadelphia. and has recently removed his
salesrooms to the large and commodious
store, No. 232 North Second street, Phila
phia,:-.Some of the largest,Patent_Medicine
dealers in the 'United States say the demand
for Wishert's Pine Tree Tar Cordial is
greater at the present time than any other
Patent Medicine in this country.
You don't like the idea of receiving no
benefit personally from insuring your life.
You are glad enough to make some provi
sion for your family. But you would be
more enthusiastic about it if you could reap
some of the benefits during your own life.
Well, you can do just that very thing. Take
out an "Endowment Policy," it is payable
at the end of a certain teem of years—five,
ten, fifteen or twenty—according to the
amount of premium you pay. Like all
other polices, it. is payable at death, if you
die inside of the specified time; but, if you
live beyond that period, the whole amount
is paid to you, giving you back your own,
with heavy interest. "The American," of
Philadelphia, you know, is the Company to
take it out vial. Dr. F. Hinkle, agent for
this county.
QUICK WORK.—The three-story brick
house,which Mr. Mishler is erecting in Mid
dle street. which was to have been comple
ted foundation to roof, inside and out, in
thirty hours, it is expected will be finished
this evening, making the time twenty hours
instead of thirty. At 11 o'clock this morn
ing the roof was on, and the way things were
progressing at that time there was every in
dication that the whole thing would be eotn
pleted at the hour for stopping work to-day
and the house ready for occupancy to-mor
row. The bricklayers completed their work
in twelve hours, including one hour lost in
waiting for brick. Thirty-nine thousand
brick were used, and the ten bricklayers
averaged four thousand in that time. The
plasterers and carpenters are away ahead
of time, and Mr. W. H. Pool, the painter, is
confident that he can put on the finishing
touches before sundown. A large number
of persons visited the scene to-day.--Express,
14th inst.
TUE HOUSE WE LTVE IN.—Space for
bids our speaking of the bones, muscles,
lungs, brain, nerves, skin, etc. But con
sider for a moment that the average amount
of blood in an adult is thirty pounds, or
about one-fifth of the body's weight. At
each beat of the heart two and a-half ounces
of blood are thrown out of it ; one hundred
and seventy-five ounces per minute; six
hundred and fifty-six pounds per hour;
seven and three-fourth tons per day. All
the the blood in the body passes through
the heart in three minutes and distributes
the nutritive principle to every texture and
the source of every secretion. Now, if the
blood is weak and impure the danger of in
curring disease is eminent. This is certain
to be its condition, more or less, at this
period of the year. And just here we aro
admonished of the superior advantages of
Mishler's Herb Bitters for cleansing and
renovating the blood. This it will always
do, and also prevent any disease arising
from impure blood, because it removes the
cause. Begin at once to purify your blood
with this great tonic, and thus ward oil' di
sease before it entrenches itself in your sys
tem.
TERRIBLE RIOT IN MARIETTA.—From
passengers who arrived in the accommoda
tion train from Marietta last evening we.
have gathered particulars of a terrible riot
which occurred in that borough yesterday
afternoon, though the accounts are meagre
and conflicting, and we shall be compelled
to rely on later information for fuller de
tails. It appears a party of pilots and rafts
men, inflamed by liquor, come in contact
with a number of the noted roughs of that
place about two o'clock, and a general fight
was the result, 111 which axes and other
weapons were freely used. The fight was
continued the entire afternoon, up to the de
parture of the train, and a large number of
citizens and raftiamen were severely, if not
dangerously wounded, though we have
heard of no deaths resulting from it. One
man was cut in the bowels and so danger
ously wounded that. death is regarded as
certain. A raftsman was severely cut in
the thee with a razor, and a large number
of citizens and raftsmen eut with axes and
every weapon that could be med. The fight
was continued the entire afternoon, and
when the train left at 6.40 the citizens fol
lowed the raftsmen, and an attempt was
made to detach the train. Here the light
was renewed, in which a large number of
persons received injuries. Stones were
thrown Into the train after it bad started,
and several raftsmen severely injured. We
conversed with it gentleman from Indiana
county, named Bear, who had received in
juries on the head and arm, caused by
stones thrown into the train. A large num
ber of stones were gathered by the conduc
tor of the train, whieh had been used as
mis•iles c.f destruction, and which will be
retained for it further inyestigltion. We
have no definite list of the casualties,though
a large number of citizens and raftsmen
wore severely injured,—Mate guard I.sth.

THE BALL.—The 'Masquerade Bail
given by the Laurel Hook S. Ladder Com
pany of this place, which came oft in Odd
Fellows' Hall, on Thursday evening, was
quite a success. The Hall was not crowded,
but there was just enough there to make a
pleasant party.
AURORA. BOREALIS.—The Aurora lio
realis, or Northern Lights, were so plainly
visible on Thursday night lest as to draw
the attention of every one who happened to
be out during the evening. Beautiful
streams of light could be seen ascending
towards the zenith, Mutilating the sky, the
effect being beautiful and grand.
TUE SEASONS.—"WhiIe the earth re
maineth, seed time and harvest and cold
and heat, and summer and winter, and day
and night shall not cease."
One of the changes incident upon this
change of seasons is that of our clothing
from the thick heavy gm went of winter to
the light and airy clothes of summer, and
there is no one thing that contributes more
to onr comfort, our health and to economy
than our thus regulating our clothing by
these changes of the season.
Yon can be "cool as a cucumber" this
summer, if you only wear clothing from
Wanamaker d Brown's.
"TALL oaks from little acorns grow,
Large streams from little fountains flow."
Seven years ago the Plantation Bitters
were but little known. To-day there is not
a nook or corner of our laud where they
are not found and used. The sale has
reached the enormous number of Five Mil
lions of Bottles annually, and it is constant
ly increasing. It only shows what can be
done with a really good medicine, and a
systematic course of making it known.
Perhaps no medicine in the world was ever
so deservedly popular as the Plantation
Bitters. Go where you will, among
the rich or poor, and you will always find
these Bitters in use. Their merit has be
come an established fact, and we cordially
recommend them in cases of dyspepsia,
loss of appetite, chills and fever, headache,

Crawford County System.
Ma. Ri3U3o:—l am pleased with your
remarks about our present mode of nomi
nating candidates for office, by holding
primary elections. Two years experience
has shown the Crawford County System all
that is desirable, provided, the elections are
fairly held, votes honestly given and no
frauds or stuffing of ballot- boxes permitted.
The question is, however, how are frauds
to be prevented, or detected and exposed?
Some men will in spite of every decent re
straint endeavor to carry a majority for a
favorite, right or wrong, and even glory
in the most disgraceful fraud if it be suc
cessful. If the primary elections were held
and restricted by law as the October elec
tions are, we might hope that they would
be as honestly conducted—and oven these
as we see by recent exposures in our Legis
lative .und Congressional investigations
are often controlled by th e basest frauds ;
but the difference is that the frauds can be
and are investigated and denied of all effect.
You and I know, that the ballot-box in Co
lumbia has been stuffed to aid a favorite,
and there is nothing to prevent it being
done again, unless politicians shall become
more honest, or some restriction improved,
or regulation made by our County Commit
tee to cure the evil. Of what use is it, Mr.
Editor, for voters to go to our election when
they know that some dishonest men will
by trick, or mannuvre, introduce into the
boxes fraudulent votes enough to counter
balance all those honestly given. If there
be no remedy, then the people must .either
refuse to vote the-- ticket- at all ; Set—up - ,
another instead, or adopt sonic other mode
of nomination, This matter is worthy of
the earliest consideration. for as this is the
year when all the county offices are to be
tilled, the anxiety for success will be great
est, and active partisans less scrupulous.
So let all look out lbr the most shameful
frauds ever practiced in this County.
Resolutions of Respect.
At a recent meeting of the Vigilant Steam
Fire Engine Company. No. 2, held at their Hall,
the following was passed :
WEREAS, It has seemed good to the Almighty
Disposer of Events to remove front our midst
our late worthy and esteemed fellow members,
Frederick Fenstermacher and Michael Collins;
and.
Whereas, Their effleleucy as members of our
