A York paper says there is a good bit of gas in that town, which does not pass through the metres. The old year went out " like a lamb ;" it remains to be seen whether the New Year will come in " like a lion ;" thus verifying that old prediction. The editor of the Herald evidently dis likes the manner in which wo deliberately extract from his locals. Be calm, and well try to forgo the temptation in the future. Market was held yesterday morning, this being considered a general holiday. The at tmtlance of tte farmers was large, and pro duce offered in abundance notwithstanding the special tax.

Theirs are the first out-door ci iicerLS Columbia has enjoyed for ;Mille time. A Iteadili lawyer writes to us thus : The story by Mat I:insley in last Satur day's SPY is well written and I hope he :nay soon Laver your readers with another. Among the most, interesting parts of the SPV is the letter front Lancaster over the signs- Lure of " Soutu." The editor of the Herald should give proper credit when copies locals from the SPY, and the Altoona Tribune. We confess there is a temptation to extract from our columns. The Columbia Fire Company has been presented with a group of photographs of members of the Junior Fire Company of Reading. The group is encased in a beau tiful oval frame. It was received by Presi dent Craig on the partof the Columbia boys. Kunkle's Troupe of Pam Killers were in town during the greater part of last week . and two or three days of this; they stopped at the Franklin House, whore their ()Neel lent rehearsals drew crowds. Their vocal and instrumental music was much admired especially by those who love u free concert. The Herald would 'have its readers be lieve that Columbia has streets "to Vacuum bar of about one hundred and fifty," and that the colored people marched through them all on Christmas morning. A Read ing room and library with a good selection of authors on syntax. is becoming a telt ne cessity. Ri m ma's costume or:4. kers area novelty. Meyers had several boxes for sale during the holidays. They contribute materially to the pleasures of an evening sociable. They must be seen and used to be fully ap preciated. They consist of a neatly folded package, containing some article of gro tesque costume; upon tearing the package, slight explosion ensues and the costume bursts to view, like au Image out of a magic box. The invention is quite novel. To-DAY.—AIt places of business will be closed to=day—at home, however, the back doors will be open for the accomoda lion of numerous friends. Market over, and the culinary depart timid arranged, the ladies will prepare to receive the calls of their gentleman friends. Throughout the farming districts it will be generally ob served, and no doubt celebrated by visit ing, and exchanging congratulations. We trust all the old debts wilt be promptly paid before the festivities of the gay season are fully over. The printers should not be forgotten in these annual financial 'visita tions. Tit INSTITUTE.—The Columbia Clas. siva, as mentioned elsewhere will open its winter term next Afonday a week. It IS de signed that this institute shall prepare bops and young men theroughly for College, bus iness, or teaching, to afford every facility and aid for acquiring an accurate knowl edge of the classics, mathematics, natural sciences, and of all those branches which onstitute a complete It Itsiness education. From -Rohrerstown. ItiiiiitEnsTowx, Dee. 28 Having noticed that yon are publishing communications of a local character from nearly all parts'of the county I trust that a short communication from our village will be acceptable. Robrerstown on the Penn sylvaiiia Railroad is accessible by three trains from the west and four from the east daily. Our town though seemingly an ancient place Is not more than about forty years old. It has three streets passing through 'it from east to west, and four from north to south. The village contains a large i oiling mill owned by Col. D. W. Patterson of Lancaster, and when in oper ation affords employment for about forty men; at present it is not in operation, and makes business quite dull. We have two hotels—one kept by Mr. M. Deitrich, the other by M. Bruckhurt. There are also two dry goods and grocery stores in the.place, and a confectionery establish ment kept by Mr. Landis who was very amply prepared with all kinds of confec tions and supplied all who made demands on him during the holidays. The German Reformed and Lutheran congregations have a very fine church in the town though it is yet minus a bell ; an effort is being made to raise the required amount of money to purchase one. We hope they will succeed. ' Our graded school is a success. The high er department is taught by Z. L. T. Shaeffer and the primary by H. G. Newcomer. The building is a new one and is supplied with many of the modern improvements. Dr. S. G. Gray is thornily physician in the town and is kept very busy at the present time and though a partial stranger in the neigh borhood is meeting with very good suc cess, creating a confidence in all who em ploy him. J. K.Drubaker is establishing a wide reputation as veterinary surgeon. The town is generally very quiet, us persons who have occasion to visit the place will find it to be. GASPER. RELmrous.—There will be preaching in the Presbyterian church by the pastor, next sabbath morning and evening. There will be special services in the Pres byterian church every evening of next week and the week following, beginning at 7 o'clock. The young are especially welcome. The recent enlargement of the church af fords ample room for strangers. Divine services may be expected on Sa turday morning, new year's day,lo o'clock, In the Episcopal church. On Sunday, services as usual, with the Holy Communion in the morning. Evening prayer and lecture on Friday evening. There will be Watch services in the U. B. church on Friday night, Dee. 31, opening by a sermon on "The Diary of 1569." On Sabbath at usual hours the following services : iklorning subject—" The Books nested." Evening subject—" Words written on the gates of 1570." SEWING MACnINE AGENCY.—Mr. G. T. Fobes has opened a new Sewing Ma chine Agency at 213 North Front street. Ho is the sole and exclusive agent for the saleof Wheelers Sewing Machine in Columbia, and from his well-known ener gy and business tact, and his very wide:ac quaintance with the people, will certainly meet with success. The 'Wheeler & Wilson Machine is becoming very popular, and from the great number already sold in Lan caster county, it must certainlypossess su perior merit. Families and others, who have not yet been supplied with this indis pensable machine should secure one at once. We wish Mr. Fobes success in his new enterprise. Since writing tho above Mr. Fobes has opened rooms at No. 251 Locust street. See advertisement. LFor the SPY.] NORTIIIIMBERLA.ND, Doe. 19, ISG9 Eprron SPY : Having • been a resident of Co lumbia. for a ninnbor of years and hay ing a large number of friends there, I thought it would be interesting to some of them at least to hear the result of the doe- tion of officers of Eureka Lodge, 10.-101 A.

Penrose, a respected citizen of Drainer° ; townsb -..p, awoke ;t hew, 2 o'clock, struck a light, and on seeing what time it was, called to his wife a "mer ry Christmas" several times but received no response. A daughter sleeping in an ad joining room,a-sked why her mother did not answer, and, on going to the bedside with a light it was found that she was dead and partially cold. Mrs. Penrose was about fifty-live years of ago. She had been un well for some months, but on retiring on 'riday she expressed he: self as feeling bet ter than for some time past.—Express. WIL-9T WE WANT.—F. B. Roe's corps of map engineers of Philadeldhia ate enga gaged in surveying and publishing mape. They propose issu tag maps of Lancaster, Columbia and Marietta in this county. A portion of Columbia has already been surveyed and drafted, and if sufficient en couragement is offered Mr. Roe will com plete the surveye,have the maps lith °graph ed,printed on heavy paper,mounted on can vass and rollers and finished in colors. This will form a standard work of reference for all citizens and property-holders. C. T. LeGette, E. E. will have charge of the Co lumbia map. BEAUTIFUL 'HOLIDAY CI oous.—The lace collars, handkerchiefs Ate., displayed in Fondersmitit's windows are very attrac tive and are meeting with steady sales. We overheard a lady remark that "they were the cheapest goods she had seen anywhere this season." And the same may be said of the many kinds of seasonable drag goods, shawls, velvetteen ttc., which are offered at prices, that cannot fail to suit every class of buyers. We are requested to announce a third opening of furs for this week. Truly this does not look like "dull thnus"judging from the way our neighbor Fondersmith pushes things. KNIGHTS TEMPLA meeting of Cyreue Commandery, 31. K. T., was held on Thursday evening. There was an attendance of Sir. Knights from Lancaster and other places. Fifteen members were initiated, and de grees conferred. After the meeting a boon- ful collation was served, in which all par- ticipated. The entire management of this affair was entrusted to J. IL Black, that prince of caterers,whose good tastes did jai tice to the occasion BUSINESS 011ANGES.—The firm of Mar i, Thomas S:: Co., bats been dissolved. The business will be conducted hereafter by B. B. .Martiu, as lumber dealer at Colombia and manufheturer at Lock liaven. Mr. I. 0.

HELD Fott POSTAGE.—_I letter address ed to John :Corby. Columbia, has been held for postage at the Pont onto in Philadel phia. Clir&stntas. The observance of Christmas was very general, and with the religious services, the traditional calls, and heart-folt cengt'atula tions, the clay was spent pleasantly by those who felt inclined to observe it. The Churches hold services as announce I in the SryJof last week; several important notices were omitted; from the fact that we went to press on Thursday afternoon in stead of Friday as usual, The Sabbath. School of the Reformed Church held a very pleasant service and festival on Friday evening. A large Christmas Tree had boon erected, from which gifts were taken and distributed to the children. A few persons —not children—also shared in the distribu tion. The regular Christmas service era' hold, the children all joining. A pleasant time was spent. The church, decorated with wreaths, and festooned, looked beau tiful. Over the pulpit in graceful arch were the letters "Glory to God in the Highest." Rev. F. Pilgrarn addressed the school. The Paul's Episcopal Church was a gem of beauty. •The decorations, as reported in last weekls Sex worn completed, and many additions made. An attractive ornament on the wall was an anchor, formed of box wood,and twined with ivy. The large Christ mas tree was surmounted by the bright "Star of the East" and illuminated by near ly one hundred and fitly candies. The Sun day school was out in its strength, the chil dren being anxious to ascertain what gifts had been selected for them. The effect of the entire scene was very pleasing. The singing by the school was very fine, and the hymns selected suitable for the occa sion. Roy. Mr. Douglass made a short and appropriate address. Early services wore bold on Christmas morning in the Reformed, Methodist, St. Paul,s Episcopal and St. Peter's Catholic churches. At tho latter church, 'High mass -was celebrat oil at 5. 30, Father Russell ofll cutting The concerts announced for the Evenim at the German Lutheran and Methodis. churches respeeLivelvcame oil successfully. A Christmas tree was presented to the chil dren of the German Lutheran church. Tao concert was even more successful than that of the 18th. The entertainment of the M. E. church7was very interesting and the perfor mance highly creditable to those having the !natter in charge. Could wo be possessed of reportorial übiquity, we would have wish ed for at least triple individuality on Christmas evening. In several of the churches on Sunday rcfcrenco was made to the glorious festival of the Christian Church, which had just passed. A very large congregation assembled in the United. Brethern church to hear Rev. W. 11. S. Keys on the Richardson—McPar land tragedy, or "Crime and its Lessons." The discourse was one of unusual interest and power, Roy. A.. Swarts preached in the Lutheran church on Sunday evening, the pulpit be ing vacated by the resignation of Mr. Steak. The other observances of Christmas were the usual gymnast performance of men and boys in masks, with grotesque suits on, and " music for the million." The amount of fun enjoyed by these pan tom imists can not be estimated. All shapes and figures were attempted, and from the number of colored characters assumed great injustice must have been done to the oppressed race. A well known quartette club furnished some excellent music " From out their masks, so dull and hid- ME A large number of social visits, good wishes and congratulations wero exchang ed during the day, intorsperced only by the bountiful feasts spread everywhere for the guests who might call. We believe that in more than one sense it was a merry Christmas. TATTLizs:a.—A subscriber has banded us the following with the request that it be Published. We cheerfully accede to the ro quest. A- family has a satired right to privacy. In guarding the delicatb 'relation iifthe household secrecy becomes a virtue. Even if by chance the private aflitirs of a house hold are laid open to a stranger, honor would require him to turn from them, and if a knowledge were forced upon him, they should be locked in sacred silence. A double obligation of silence aad secre cy rests upon one who is a guest in a talni ly. The turpitude of a family history by a visitor, is far greater thou theft would be. To pocket half a dozen of silver spoons would do tar less damage, produce far less suffering, and be loss immortal than tale bearing. It is a thing so scandalous that it should degrade a person, and put him out of good society. To betray the secrets of a household is not only an odious immorality, but it is a sin and a shame to be on good terms with those who are known to commit such outrages. They put themselves oul of tho pale of de cent society. They should be treated as moral outlaw. Theseihungry-eyed wretches who sit in the unsuspicious circlo of parents and children treasuring their words, spying their weak nesses, misrepresenting the innocent liabil ities of the household, and run from house to house with their shameless news, are worse than poisoners of wells or burners of houses. They poison the faith of man in man. If ono open his mouth to telt you such things, with all your might smite him in the Moe! There are two actions which justify you in instantly knocking a man down ; the ono is the act of pointing a gun at you hi sport, and the other is the attempt to tell you a secret winch it is disgt aceful for him to get, and for you to he: Make no terms with such people. Talc-bearers have no rights. They are common enemies ofgood men. Hunt, hurry and pound them out of society. They are the worst pests save one, and that is the listener to a tale bearer. There coaled be no tattling if t here was not one to hear. It to lies an ear and tongue to make a scandal. Greedy listening is as disbono ra We as nimble tattling. The ear is the open market where the tongue sells its ill-gotten wares. Sonic there are that will repeat again what they hear, but they are willing to listen to it. 'They wilt not trade in contraband goods, but they will not buy enough of the smuggler for family use. These respectable listeners are the patrons of tattlers. It is the ready market that keeps tale-bearing brisk. It is a shame to listen to ill of your neighbor. Christian benevolence dem:m.ls that you do not love ill news. A clean heart and true honor re joice in kindly things. It should be a pain and a sorrow to know of anything that de grades your neighbor in your eyes oven if it is your enemy; how much more if he is your fr.end ? CAN You TELL ?—Can any one tell how it is that at man who is too poor to pay 5 or:10 cents a week for a good weekly paper is able to pay fifteen cents a day for tobacco. and cigars, to say nothing Gran occasional drink ?—NEw Aar:. Yes, Bro. Austin, we can tell you—at least we think we can. Because his taste for ci gars and tobacco and stimulants is more cultivated than is his mind for good reading correct information, and a desire to keep pace with the world, which can only lie done by a perusal of the good papers of the day. The animal outweighs the mental ; the appetite is superior in such men to the heart and mind.—Culuntel. QUARILY VILLE.—The special discourse on the Character of Christ, announced. to be preached at Quarryville, in the Re formed church by Rev. J. V. Ealtert,twil I be delivered to-morrow evening, haying been postponed on account of the inclemency or the weather. REMEMBER that the property on Wal nut street (No. 22f2) is offered at public sale this Saturday by John Goll. It is a very fine home, and being repaired beautifully is very desirable. There is a bargain here which is not offered every day, .PERSONAL.—WiIIiam Hinkle, Esq., a nephew of Dr. F. Hinkle, and bride from Kansas City, Mo., have been spending a law days with Dr. and Mrs.F.Hinkle. From our Kansas exchanges we:learn that the fair couple were married on the 14th of Decem ber, and that the nuptials were celebrated with imposing ceremonies. The party started on their bridal tour immediately after, accompanied to the depot by a vast concourse of friends. They arrived safely here on the eveningof the 24th, visiting in their trip St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland, and Pittsburg. While here they were entertained by Dr and Mrs. F., Hinkle In becoming style, and received the cepgratulationi of a host ,of .triends. 'Prom here they go to Philadelphia. A visit to New York, Boston and the Canadas was contemplated, but the advice of friends has induced them to return from Columbia to Kansas City. They will bear with them to their West ern home, the heartfelt congratulations of their friends bore. The remembrance of these greetings will tend to make life still more pleasant, and keep ever green the memory of that blissful hour when Across the threshold led, His house she enters, there to be mm light Shining within, when all without is night, A gnardain angel o'er his life presiding, Doubling pleasure, and his cares divid ing. A GRATEFUL PEOPLE.-11 meeting of the Lutheran congregation was held on Wednesday evening, Dec. 22, prior tall° departure of Mr. Stock for Kansas City, Mo. After the congregational meeting, the friends of Mr. Stock waited upon him in his study and presented him with several of the most flattering testimonials of their 'appreciation of his services. Among the articles wo noticed a beauti fulTocket-book containing upwards of one hundred dellars, some in specie, and a few rare pocket pieces ; a gentleman's compan ion, a very rine umbrella, several presents from the children, and other substantial articles. We are requested to return the thanks of Mr. Stock to his friends for their• many kind manifestations. Tit READING Room—Since the ne c,..,ssity.of establishing a reading room in our borough is felt by all, the only question that remains is how can it be done? If our most enterprising citizens will take hold of the matter, it will be accomplished. The place and location are now the only an culties to be overcome. The reading room once established, can be easily maintained. It will be the means of doing much good, Tho lavorable consideration which the mat ter has received from all classes of 'citizens, rich and poor, clergy and laity, old and young, is a cheeriog guarantee that it will be ttccompl ished. vt:w L tue.tßY.—The Lutheran Se b bath school have purchased a large now li -brary, which added to their already exten sive collection of books, constitute a first class Sabbath School Library. The library committee purchased it from Messrs May b Erwin, who kindly allowed them to se lect from a now invoice gotten. up especial ly for them. The school feel under many obligations to these gentlemen for the court esy and kindness extended. New books received at the Keystone Book store as soon as issued; and for sale at the lowest cash prices.
