BOW TO IrE, NOBODY.—Youti m o• man, it
Is easy to be nobody. Go to the drinking
saloon to spend your leisure. You need not
drink much now, just a little beer, or some
other slOPs.!, In the meantime, play !dritni
noes, chequers, or something else to con
sume time so that you will be sure not to
read any useful book ;, or if you do read let
it be the ”dimenovel4" of the day,. .Thus go
on keeping your stomach full, head empty,
and yoUrself busy • playing "time-killing
games, and iri a feW years you'll be nobody,
unless you should turn out a drunkard or
'professional gambler,- either of which is
worse than to be nobody. There are many
men about our, town just ready to graduate
and be nobodies. ,

TIIE CAMP MEETING-AT LEBANON.—
The Methodist camp meeting at Lebanon
for this district, which commenced on
Thursday, is said to be a great success.
The location is -about one, mile from . the
town of Lebanon in a very splendid grove.
It is one of tbe largest meetings of the kind
ever held in the State. There were nearly
ten thousand people present on Sunday. A
large number of ministers are present from
various sections, representing different
Christian denominations. Philadelphia is
represented by a number of families from
the Green street M. E. Church. Lancaster
and Columbia are well represented.
STA3IP DUTIES.—Capt. J. P. Rea, In
ternal Revenue Assessor; - has just received
a numbtr of copies of a pamphlet lately
prepared' . and issued by the Internal Rev
enue Commissioner, containing a complete
schedule of the stamps required upon all
the different classes and kinds of instru
ments of writing and upon all manufac
tured and other articles requiring stamps,
together with the laws, regulations and
directions concerning their purchase. use,
cancellation, &c. Capt. Rea will be pleased
to distribute the limited number of copies
with which he has been supplied among
such business men who have frequent oc
casion to use stamps, as may apply for
them.
Dint TOWN I3IPROVEMENTS.—It is
stated that a citizen of Oxford offers to deed
two acres of land on the Railroad in that
Borough, to any party who will build a fur
nace and rolling mill thereon, and that the
•Philadelphia & Baltimore Central R. R.
Company will furnish free transportation
on the road for all material necessary in the
erection of the same. This is a generous
and sensible offer, and it would be well for
Columbia if some of our land owners, in
stead of demanding exorbitant prices for
their ground'and preventing foreign capital
and enterprise from coming here, were
equally liberal. They would find their own
advantage in it, especially, as they have
never built any theniselves or made any
improvements of either general or special
, benefit,and content themselves as all drones
do—by living upon what has been handed
down to them., _ •
Tag- market -Thursday was 'tolerably
well supplied, and the attendance was bet
ter than usual. COOSide'rable rivalry exists
;between the bakers of the borough, and the
"staff of life," plain, and in fancy forms,
cakes, &c., displayed on the stands, find
ready purchasers. Theprices were about
the same as usual, in reference to meats.
Lamb, 15 to 20 cents per pound; beef, 20
cents for the very best cuts; veal, 13 to 18
cents; butter, 28 to 30 cents; green corn. 15
cents per dozen ; eggs, 20 to 22 chits per
dozen; beets, 5 cents per bunch; potatoes,
10 cents per half,.peck ; cabbage, 5 to 10
cents per liead; Peaches, 25 cents per half
peck; apples, 12 to 15 cents per half peck.
As our country friends and citizens become
more used to our market regulations the
better they like them. We noticed a few of
our York county frionds,who availed them
selves of the excellent advantages offered,
in attendance with produce, 4:e.

LOOK OUT voa AN EARTUQUAKE.--
, Saturday the 7th clay of August is the time
for the great eclipse of the sun to take place,
and while the people'are idoking oat for it,
let them look out Ibr the earthquake that is
to accompany it. The occurrence of the
great and disastrous earthquake in South
America, in the month of August, last year,
by which seven cities on the Pacific coast
were shaken down and overwhelmed by the
tidal wave, and thirty thousand people lost
their lives, was at or about the same time of
the total eclipse of the son, in the southern
hemisphere, showing an apparent connec
tion between the two occurrence's. The
philosophy of the matter seems to be, that
such a conjunction of the son and moon
acts on the .great internal ocean of molten
lava, with which the interior of the earth is
in causing an untisual sudden up
;ward pressure of it, and nu upheaving of
the "crust of the earth" above it, in sec
tions of country subject to earthquakes.
In confirmation of the connection between
total eclipses of the sun and the occurrence
of earthquakes, I was told not very long
since, by an intelligent friend of-consider
able reading, that the great earthquake at
New Madrid, Mo., iu 1811 or 1812, took place
at or about - - the total eclipse of the son.
Such an eclipse of the sau as we are about
to have, it is said, happens very seldom,
and Las not taken place for a long time.
Hence we May look out for the region of
country about New Madrid, or the coast of
California, to be severely shaken about the
7th of August—and that the whole Missis
sippi valley, or our Pacific Nast, will feel
the quaking of the earth snore or less It
May not happen, bat look-outfor the earth
quake! OnscavErs.

dates: •122.4, 1775, 17713 and 1806. The piece

IT GREW.-1111 " Topsy" could say
about herself was that she "groomed." And
all thht can be said in answer to the often:
asked question, "Flow did Oakafall become
so great? is that it grew. There was notb-.
lug miraculous about it, nothing beyond
the ordinary laws of business development
and expansion. Strict integrity, close and
constant application to business, an untir
ing study of the wants of the people must , ,
lead to permanent and large success.
You acknowledge the wisdom of having
your house and stable and barn insured. In
fact, people would consider you, and you
would look upon yourself as little less than
a fool were you to neglect so plain a pre
caution. But you don't think of insuring
your life, though, as is easily proved by
statistics, your life - is risked eight times
where your house or barn is endangered
once. That's a fact, and Dr. Hinkle, the
agent of "The American Life Insurance
Co., of Philadelphia," can prove it to you.
APPOINTmENT.—We learn with pleas

the high school has lost a most ctUcient:and.

ACCIDENT AND NARROW -.ESCAPE.—
William Wilson, of Colerain, Lancaster
county, met with an' accident on Wednes
day last. He was engaged in hauling out
manure with a yoke of oxen and a horse,
and while returning from the field the reins
became entangled and drew the, horse
around, upon which Mr. Wilson jumped
out and ran to it; but just at this moment
the horse fell upon him, knocking 'him
down in front of the wheels, one of which
passed over his body. The oxen did-not
stop, but completely stripped the harness
from the horse and tore it to pieces under
their feet. Mr. Wilson's head came within
a hair's breadth of striking the cart tongue.
He luckily escaped, however, with a few ,
severe bruises and scratches. The horse
was not injured.— Oxford Press.
OUR readers have observed that we

the remarkable recovery of Mrs.' Rico, of
Canastota, from her distressing and almost
helpless scrofulous disease, which is knowri
throughout the community, and unques
tionably the effect Ayer's Sarsaparilla,leads
us to publish without reserve the remark
able efficacy of this medicine. We do this
in the interest of the afflicted. Any remedy
which can so effectualty " raise one from
the dead," should be universally known;
and we wish it may be universally as suc

IT is estimated that seven•tenths of all
