RUNAWAY.—On Friday morning last,
ash freight train was passing Black's Hotel,
ii brae heatonging 2 to:Jamhs Mortaity, took
fright and ran , down Front street. At Rico's
!elothinisio're'he ran into the 'pavement for
some distance. The wagon attached broke
dowu,the awning posts, and a general stam
pedo",tmong the pedestrians took Place. The'
large tree:in front , of Samuel Grove's store
stopped him in his wild career. No one
was hurt and little damage done to property.
CHANGE OF TIME—BETTER ACCOMO
DATtoN§.—As will be seen by our local time
tablii thrit the Harrisburg accommodation
‘vill be resumed, and leave Columbia at 5:2.0
P. M. us before. A train leaves for Lancas
ter Ili 2:15 P. M. arriving there at 2.:15 P. M.
Leave I:a rwast t-r na In at 3:10 and arrive at
3:4U. Tl,us is nearly the same a. the "Id
ti WV, and give. 25 minute., nt Latwaster ror
the transaction of Intsine , s, for those who
wish to return in the same train. Tne 6:25

The emit:Taut train will leave Philadel -
phia at 10:50 P. M., with a first class passen
senger car attached, via Columbia, arrivintr.
hereat 3:00 A. M. This will afford excellent
accomtnodation for business men.
. By referring to our advertising columns,
kt, will be found 'that passengers leaving
Columbia via Reading and Columbia
road at 3:30 A.' M. arrive in New York at
3:55 P. M. Le"ving here ut 3 P. M. they
arrive in New York at 10:20 P. M. By this
excellent arrangement passengers can go to
New York in seven hours, direct without
delay, quicker than by any other route.
The accommodations on the Reading & Co
lumbia Railroad are perfect, and we have
thus direct communications east by a local
railroad. The able and efficient ad ministra
tiOn of nit:Lira by Superintendent G. F.
Gage, Esq.,' has made the road one of con
venience and profit to all.
NoTES ABOUT TOWN.—Tiie 'residence
of Wm. Patton, Esq., on South Second
street, is being fitted up, and much beauti
fied in appearance by a new "dress of paint.
-Several new buildings are going up in
various parts of town, but not as large a
number as last year, owing no doubt to the
scarcity, of money, and the unusual dull
,ness of the season.
• 'Watermelons,' and Cantelopes are iu the
market in abundance this year, and fruit
dealers are doing a thriving business. Prices
are however pretty high.
" The LancEister Express thinks the new

PUBLIC SCHOOL. GRENING.—On Men
:day morning last the public schools of this
-borough were opened. This day was em
pliaticallY children's day. While it is not
always well to speak too flatteringly of our
selves or our borough, yet we can safely
say,that there is no town or the same popu-
haibn in this state, which bears as a monu
ment of. its progress and liberality, such a
Magnificent public school building as CO
-1 m bia. It is the custom, of strangers, tai
especially
,those who have a literary taste
generally, to inquire about the educaiional
enterptses 'in a place, what the facilities
are, for educating the youth, what manner
teachers we or what standard of
excellence is maintained. Should a stranger
judge of our plade by our liberal provision
for the youth, a high estimate - would be
formed. -Located as our school building is
id the centre of the borough, built with a
regard for the health, comfort and liappi

FRANKLIN AND ZIARSHALL COLLEGE.
—The exercises of the Fall term of study at
this 'institution were opened on Thursday
morning. As is customary on such occa
sions, en address was delivered to the stu
dents. Dr. Budd, who fills the chair of
Natural Science, was selected for the occa
sion, and had for his subject: "The Influence
of External Nature in the Development of
the Mind." The address was well deliver
ed, and favorably received by his aditdrs,
among whom there was quite a number of
'ladies, the clergymen of the city'itnd others,
who -take an interest in the institution.
Space does not permit us to give an extend
ed criticism or report of the subject-matter
of the address, and anything short of that
would fail to do justice to the excellence of
the production.
The prospects of the College for coming
session are . very 'favorable, there being
about twenty-five applicants for ad mission,
some of whom will enter the Sophomore
and Junior classes, but the greater part will
enter the Freshman. As is-usual at the
opening of the sessions, the new students
are eagerly beset by the . members of the
two Literary Societies, and have shown all
the - politeness and courtesies in their power,
until the new student announces his choice,
when their assiduous attentions cease, and
Lew friends hastily made, as hastily drop
off. : We 'do not know how they are,divided,
but suppose that each will secure its share,
and that theiwill maintain'the same equal
ity of members as heretofore. ,
SCHOOL - BOARD.---The School Board

present were J. SteabY, H. M. North,
Esq., Samuel Grove, J. M. Watts, Christian

A communication was received and re
ferred , to the Committee on text books, ask:
ing the introduction of the German lan
guage in our Public Schools.
The following resolution was offered by
Mr. Young:
Wunt.mts, The certificates of Miss Mif
flin, Miss Caldwell and Miss Hunter as re
corded on the minutes in MS, show no im
provement in the two former, but do show
an improvement of six in the aegregate in
the latter as compared with the certificates
of 1867, and
WnEREAS, The salpries of the two former
were increased $2.50 per month during the
school term of 185$, and no such increase
allowed to the latter, Therefore
Resolved, That Emma F. Hunter be al
lowed and paid $22.50 as an increase of
salary for ISOS, being the same amount of
increase already paid to Miss Mifflin and
Caldwell during said year.—Lost.

Lutheran church, ,thie. Borough, Rey. W.
H. Stack pastor,was . re-opt -cnd re
dedicated on Sabbath. The church has
been tastefully frescoed, re-painted and car
peted. In our last number we gave an ac
count of the improvements. Everything is
in good taste , and neat, and yet plain in its
neatness. The co:or of the•wall is pleasant -
to the eye, and along the ceiling is relieved
by fresco work. The church was filled to
overflowing at an early hour; and while the. ,
bell was ringing the glad notes of rejoicing,
we felt like congratulating the congrega
tion and their.pastor on the completion of
this beautiful temple. . •
The services opened with, the' singing_ of
an anthem -.and:invocation - Rev: Dr.
Beam, of York. Rev. John H. Meng,es,_ of
the same place, and pastor of the church for
about ten years, and'appropriately termed
the " father of the church," preached the
dedication sermon from Psalm 84. V.'4.
The sermon was one of great power and ef
fect. We have not space to give even a syn
opsis of its merits. lie was followed by Dr.
Baum, who closed with a plea for the speedy
payment of the expenses incurred in refit
ting the church. It had 'a
good effect, as
the congregation present contributed quite
• :
The exercises iu the afternoon constituted,
mainly of 'addresses; to, the children of the
Church. Dr. Batim OOnilUctOd ifie evening ,
services, and Trenched a vory'pc.rwerful ser
mon. We have seldom listened to a more
,pleasant speaker. His arguments are so
'well put, that they alWays meet
,:the
Lion of the sentiment.' The congregation is
iti a very flourishing conditiod, 'and 'with
the additional improved:tents now contemi
plated, and whiah Will soon be an Uccoml
plished fact,•we predict for theca, greater In
fluence and spiritual prosperity.
The music during the day by the choir
was under tho directorship of Mr.,W.,11..
Supple°. The opening anthem, "'The Lord
is in his Holy Temple," was rendered with
tine effect, and in connection with the sol- -
earn arid interesting occasion was'pecilliarly
impressive. The evening anthems," I was
glad when they said unto me," /1114 "0,
God of :Hosts," were appropriate selections:
The choir was full, and with melodeon ac
companiment, under the skillful hands of
Mr. Andrew Zeller, performed their impor
tant part in these, re-dedication ceremonies
with credit to themselves and to the church.
During the day upwards of five hundred
dollars were contributed towards liquida
ting the expenses incurred in making the
change and improvements.' An amount
still remains unpaid, which, judging from
the spirit of liberality manifested, Will soon
be paid ; then the congregation can truth
fully say that they"worship under their
own vine and fig tree."
- UNPAR'ALLEEED: SUCCESS. OF THE
CLEAVEL.A.Niv' CABLE Litharizi - xfkot• MOD.—
Within the past four months H. It. Heise
has erected his Rods on upwards of lour
hundred buildings in this and York county.
This Rod is put up under the supervision
of Messrs. H. H. Heise and E. J. Clapp,
whose headquarters are-at Pennsylvania
House, Harrisburg, but are located in this
place and Lancaster city, and have canvas
sers at work' throughout the county. These
gentlemen put up two kinds, one of the
justly celebrated; galvanized iron and cop
per wire strands, twisted closely and firmly
together, which for cheapness,
,power ut
protection, beauty oficonstructien and ,clur
catinot "be surpassed, 'and ilarother
is composed of 42 copper wire strands, and
,makes still a more beautiful , appearance.
Milli Ons of feet of this rod are in constant
use, proving it to be the most popular in the
country. In' this' Shim, this rod is in very
extensive use. In Adams and York coun
ties, all the public buildings, besides hun
dreds of , dwellings are protected by the
Cleaveland Cable Rod. • A few weeks
,ego
the rdund.house, Machine and repair shops,
and lofty, stacks ot the Pehnsylvania Rail
road Company;ut:Barrisburg,twere covered
by the Cleaveland Rod. _
MIS
At this day it is useless to try to' improsa
upon people the necessity of havingn good
lightning rod to protect their properly.
Every ' week in the glare of burning burns,
or the flames devouring cherished homes,
devastating the fruits of , ardious toil, is the
absolute necessity enforced of having some
reliable means of protection from the terri
bly destructive lightning stroke, and years
of use and . constant triat have sails tactorily
denfonstrated that the' Cleaveland Cable
Rod is the best'in use.
No. 2, Copper Wire Cable Rod in use at
"Inquirer" building, on-North Queen St.,
Lancaster, is a line piece of work. This
building is'known as the highest in the oity,
towering far above the rest, it tobk,l3Do feet
-to cover-it.- .This-rod makes a•very beauti
ful appearance, and Is quite an ornament to
the building. •
We can recommend these' gentlemen'
Messrs. H. 11. Heise and E. J. Clapp, to the,
people of Columbia, Lancaster, arair this•
county as first-class, reliable business men,;
who will do good work, furniaka most ex
cellent, reliable rod, with a guarantee of in
demnity issued for each building' for ten
years. •Within the past four months these
gentlemen have,put , up over eighteen thou—
sand feet: - - We are' pleasitd 'to - learn that
their success in this and York county
season has been very great. '
Win. B. Iran; of
Philadelphia. formerly of this, city, has,
been elected Protessor of Music in tbe Coin
mon Schools of the city 01 Pittsburg. This:
is a substantial tribute to Prof. Hall's talents
as a superior musician and vocalist.
and we can assure the citizens of
Pittsburg that in securing the services of
Prof. Hull they will bring among them not
only a gentleman of ability, but one who,
by his uniform courtesy end kindness of

who will be delighted to bear of his success

occasional use will prevent the hair from turn

baldness. Free from those deleterious sub

benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a

nothing' else • can be found so desirable. Con
taining neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white

it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.

COUGH, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA,
AZ) CONSUMPTION/:
Probably never wrote in the whole historyof
medicine, has anything won so widely andso
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy. for' pulmonary .complaints.
Through a long series of years, and among most
of the races of men It has :risen. higher. and
higher in their estimation, as It has become bet
ter known. Its uniform character and power to
cure the various afb•ctions' of the lungs and
throat, have made It known as a reliable
protectorivalust them. While adapted tomilder
forms of disease and to ,voung children, It is at
the same time the most effectual retnedythat can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a
provision against sudden attacks of CROUP It
should be kept on band In every family, andin
deed as all arc sometimes subject to colds and
coughs, all should be suppliedwith this antidote
for them.
Although settled CONSUMPTION is thought
incurable, still great numbers of eases where the
diseaSe seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient re.toreci.to sound health
by the CHERRY PECTORAL. So complete Is
its mastery over the disorders of the Lug and
Threat, that the most obstinate of them yield to
it. When nothing else could reacts them; under
the CHERRY PECTORAL they subside and dis
appeaSlNGr.

ASTHMA is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it. '
BRONCHITIS is generally cured by taking tile
CHERRY PECTORAL in small and frequent
doses.
