The very "cold snap" which prevailed in
this neighborhood during the early part of
the week, was as unexpected as it was wel
come. That is saying a great deal. On
Wednesday our "iceman," confectioners,
brewers, and hotel keepers,marshalled their
forces, and speedily stored up a good supply
of ice to cheer and comfort us next summer.
Hereafter men committed to our county
prison as vagrants will be required to break
stone.. The atone are to be supplied by the
Poor House officers. When broken they
will used on the streets of Lancaster.
This is a most excellent move and should
be imitated by our Borough authorities,
Every day our High Constable is called
upon to lodge and feed a dozen or more
tramps. and it is no more than just that the
men so taken care of should do some work
for the benefit of the Borough in return.
The Road Committee should procure a lot
or stone and have it deposited at some con
venient place, to which the High Constable
could conduct his "wards" every morning,
and have them spend a few hours breaking
before be finally dismissed them.
—Since writing the above we find that a
somewhat annular course of action was de
termined upon by our Town Council at its
last meeting, as will be seen by the follow
ing resolution offered by Dr. Craig.
Whereas, our• Borough has heretofore
been so everiun by panpera and stregglers,
therefore be it.
Resolved, That all persons straggling and
begging through the Borough shall be ar
rested and furnished with beds and board
ing at the Town Ball, and for each,bed or
meal furnished said party will be required
to work not less than one, nor more than
two hours, at imeli labor as the Supervisor
may direct, Provided always that such pau
pers are not maimed'orptherwise incapa
ble of earning a livelihood, and in case they
reinse they shall turned over: to the
proper authorities for conviction as impos
ters, Provided that such a course is in the
opinion of the solicitor, legal.
The Lancaster Express ridicules the ides
of our employing vagrants at breaking
stones, and says that we have no legal right
to do so.' Whether this be or not we
have not taken time to consider. But o
one thimr we are certain—that o'e need not
entertain these travelling beggars—exdrptl
upon the condition of their rendering a vol
untary return for our official, hospitality.
They can tiara tbeir'clioice,either to stay in
Coluinbiaenjoy our hospitality and rendor
an equivalent in breaking stones, or - theY
can trudge on to Lancaster and be huddled
together in a 6;.it 1O vault under the post
ollice,or with scares of similar unfortunates
in Castle &Meanie.

WARNING TO PEOPLE who How) RE
CEIPTS.—It is reported that government
officials are going around the country in
vestigating every receipt book, bill, etc.
The reason of this is to see if the proper
revenue stamp is adjusted or not. If the
latter be the case, a fine is Imposed upon
the holder of the paper, who, perhaps
through neglect, has omitted to have the
paper stamped. Business men would do
well, therefore, to examine their papers in
order that they may twee victimized.
BOUNTY.-A 11 soldiers who enlisted for
one year, and have not received all their
installments of bounty due, can have the
same collected promptly by calling on A.

This was the signidcarit expression of an
intelligent colored citizen' at the mass meet
ing held in the Colored Masonic Hall on
Wednesday evening. No event of similar
Importance, in the history of the colored
race, has ever transpired in Columbia-
The Hall was crowded with the represen
tative men of the race. The utmost good
order yrevailed, while the enthusiasm and
intense interest of the audience showed that
in tee new role the black man will act his
part honestly, intelligently and wisely. .
The meeting was called to order by Mr.
Baker, when, on motion, John Kennedy
was called to the chair, Messrs. Shedd and
Stotts were appointed Secretaries. The
minutes of the last meeting being read, the
following resolution offered at last meeting
was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the colored people of Co
lumbia, recognizing their sincere obliga
tions to the great Republican party for
their liberties and franchises secured by
them, and remembering the persistent ef
forts of the Democratic party to keep them
in bonds and ignorance, do hereby express
our hearty sympathy with the principles
.and the future success of the Repubhceu
party.
Upon motion, the Chairman appointed
Messrs. McKee, Baker, and Cooper, a com
mittee, to arrange an order of business or
the next meeting. The chair also appoint
ed Messrs. Clegget, Rill, Cooper, Baker.
Shedd, Appleby, Snively, McKee, and
Sweeney a committee of arrangements for
the coming celebration. It was agreed that
the celebration he held on the fourth Tale's
day after the President's prot•lamation. The
committee was instructed to secure the ser
vices of Fred Douglass for the occasion, or
In his stead some other speaker •from
abroad.
Speeches were then delivered by Messrs.
Clegget, Cooper, McKee, Snively, Shadd,
Baker and others. It has never been our
pleasure to listen to such outbursts of situ•
pie eloquence. They spoko as men only
could speak, who appreciated their trans
formation, in one simrt decade, from mere
chattels to enfranchised manhood.
They spoke as no white citizen could
speak, and while they solemnly recounted
the sufferings of the past, they rejoiced over
the glorious future which is just dawning,
renderin:z grateful thanks to God for his
kind providences in leading them from
darkness and bondage into political and
religious light. Scarce two decades have
passed since, on Front street, the first ne
gro felt a victim to the infamous Fugitive
- Slave Law. Nov, within a few squares of
the spot which marks the sacrifice, th.e
same people assemble to join hearts and
hands in celebrating the freedom, the per
fect freedom, of the whole race.
—An adjourned meeting was held on
Thursday evening to devise means to de
fray expenses of the corning celebration.
Our citizens will be s:diciteno contribute,
and we trust they will lend a helping hand.
Thos. B. Supplee has been appointed Treas
urer of the fund.
FllO 3S LANCASTER.—Before taking' our
constitutional walk this morning,.a glance
at the mercury was enough to see it 6 de
greed above ; a little later we took another
peep at a second thermometer, and it said
6 degrees. So we concluded they were all
six of one, and half a dozen of the other,
and that the illumination on the extremity
of our editorial probosis was the effect of
old Boreas, rather than the viands used at
the " Survivors " supper, at the "Spotted
Cat," on the night of the 22d instant. This
was an excellent supper, and the elegant
style in which the viands were prepared on
the occasion, is in keeping with Jon's well
merited reputation as caterer. They all
survived ; long may they live.—A Lan
caster Bucephalus, patriotically wrapped
up in an American flag, bound with two
strings of sleigh bells, hitched to a butcher
wagon, labelled thuswise, " Good skating
at Best's Park," goes prancing very stately
.through : our..streets,:while the ' girls - are
trimming their bloomers with red, white,
and blue, and the boys are getting ready to
"slide their bats into the ring." Bruised
beadsand broken bonesiwill be fashionable.
—John Hart's entertainment was a grand
success.—Prof. Thunder gives a rip-roar
concert to-night, under the superin
tendence of our musical townsman, Prof.
Woodward. We children attended the
matinee this afternoon with our rnarntnas,
and were highly delighted with the talent
of the performers, considering ourselves
amateur connoisseurs in this art•—Ono
of the members of the tonsorial profession
was sued for assault and battery the other
day, the plaintiff thinks him a barbcrous
fellow, and will shave him by piling the
costs ()tithe aforesaid barber.—A genial
friend stopped out last night to get a lady
for Prof. Stouch's soiree for tomorrow
evening. He asked her with all the grace
and manner of a Chesterfield ; but she, be
ing already supplied with an escort, an
swereu him in the classic, immortal, and
•congressional language, "Shoo fly don't
bodder me." He felt towards his Amelia
like that departed hero, A rtemus Ward,
felt toward the ticket agent, when the lat
ter kicked him out of the office, viz: "He
pitied her."—Musical circles discuss the
relative merits of the popular ballads,
" Shoo Fly," and " The Little Brown Jug,"
bet it is generally conceded that" Departed
Days" is better than either.—A. young .
gentleman of the legal profession, recently
inverted his dignity on the slippery pave
ment, but as he was going for a fee, like the
law itself, he did not care de menimis, he
passed on, and now carries his arm in a
sling.—Politicians are canvassing Mack

WRIGIETSVILLE ITE3IS.—The educational
meeting commenced last evening will be
addressed by Prof. Wickersham. To-day
Prof. Boyd will conduct the exercises. and
in the evening Miss Stetson will give select
readings.
Mr. William Miller has a turkey six
months old, weighs eighty pounds. Mr. M.
will be able to gather his neighbors " far
and near," says the Star, to participate in
the next Thanksgiving dinner. This we,
take as a hint that the Sat men count them
selves among the "near," and having a pal
ate for "deer" and other delicacies, expect
to be invited.
Measles are prevalent.
Ice three inches thick is being gathered.
There are not enough houses for the in
creasing population.
There was no particular demonstration ou
the 22nd.
The above items wo gather from the Star.
Last week we culled a few and by some
oversight tailed to give credit. The Star of
this week " pitches in" under the guise of
that en-deer-ing maxim, "Honesty is the
beat policy," and made us feel very bad ?
Hereafter we will be more careful when we
cull their locals to " pin them with a .Star."
ORCRESTRA MUSIC.—The Express of last
Saturday paid the following deserved com
pliment to Prof. Schmeid and his suns of
our Borough:—
We had the pleasure a few evenings since,
of listening to some very line orchestra mu
sic at a private party of one of our citizens,
by Prot. Schmeid and his throe sons, for
merly of this city, but now residents of our
nelghborihg town of Columbia. The Pro
fessor, himself an educated musician, has
devoted much time anti care in discipling
his sous, and has succeeded in forming atf
orchestra which it would be difficult to ex
cel. The Professor adheres to has favorite
instrument, the bass viol, while his sons
perform on the violin, horn, and piccolo
Bute, the four Instruments combining to
make exquisite to .sic. On the occasion re
ferred to, the .orchestra was the theme of
praise and delight to all the fatties and gen
tlemen present, especially as the Professor
himself called the figures of the various sets.
Those who may desire to„sevure the services
of the orchestra, can do so by addressing the
Professor at Columbia.

AN la °NEST RUMS ELLE It'S A DVETISE-
IlTENT.—Friends and neighbors, having re
cently opened a commodious establishment
for the sale of all the choicest liquors, in
cluding "lager beer," I embrace this op
portunity of informing you that I have be
gun the business of making drunkards,
paupers and beggars for the sober, indus
trious, and respectable to support. I shall
deal in such spirits as will excite Ityn to
riot, robbery, and bleed:shed"; by so
.doing, diminish the comforts, increase the
expenses, and endanger the welfare of the
community. I will undertake, at short
notice, fqr a small sum, and with consider
able expense on my part, to prepare in
mates for the Almshouse, the Prison, and
the Gallows. I will furnish an article war
ranted to increase the amount of fatal ac
cidents and multiply the number of dis
tressing diseases among men. I will sup
ply a drink calculated to deprive some .of
life, many of reason, most of property, and
all of peace; which will cause fa,hers to
act like mad-men ; wives to be made worse
than widows, children to become double
orphans, to grow up in ignnronce, and
prove a burden and a curse to the nation.
I will obstruct the progress of religion, de
file the purity of the church, and cause tem
poral, spiritual and eternal death. A.nd if
any are so impertinent as to ask why I
bring such accumulated mis• ry upon a
camparatively happy people, my honest
reply is that I have a " license given under
the laws of the common w alth," and thus
I have purchased the right to ruin the char
acter, impair the health, shorten - the lives'
and destroy both the souls and bodies of
men.
I know that it is written, " Thou shalt
not kill," that woe is pronouncQdupou him
that giveth strong drink to his neighbor.
and that no drunkard shall enter the King
than of Heaven ; and I do not expect that I,
a drunaard maker, will share a better fate.
But what can I :o? I must have money,
even at the expense of my soul. Do you
not thi k I offer enough in return for the
money ? Many times it will be more than
my customers can conveniently carry.
Particular Hotice most affectionately
warn all my patrons to keep clear of the
Temperance Men, such as Sons of Temper
ance, Good Templars, members of the
Temple of Honor, and all other teetotalers
by whatever name they an known, as they
will persuade you to sign the pledge, save
your money, and with it support your
family in comfort and respectability—thus
cheating me out of:what you would spend
at my establishment. I know what they
have done, and what they will go. Look
out for them. My sign is the

PAYMENT OF PENSIONS.—The United
States Pension Agents, under sanction of
the Department at Washington, are now
sending Government vouchers, cartully
Prepared, to each pensioner, enabling him
to collect his own pensions with the least
possible trouble and expense. On the re
ceipt of the voucher, the pensioner has only
to sign it according to directions, and re
turn by mail to the agent, when a check on
the United States Treasury is immediately
returned. A pensioner can thus, foi a few
cents, remain st home and collect his own
pension without paying an attorney or
claim agent from two to fifteem dollars to
" collect his pension" or prepare his papers.
Every pensioner, to draw his pension, is
required, by orders from Washigtou, to
Lave his pension certifeate in his own pos
session. Any person withholding a certifi
cate should be reported to the Government
agent. Under this arrangement, if a pen
sioner is fleeced, it would seem to be from
choice.
All army pensioners are paid on - or aftr,
the fourth dais of -March and Sptember. cf
each year, therfore the pensioner will be
paid again in a few days. The only person
who has 'been collecting pensions in our
place is A. T. Kauffman, Esq., and we are
assured by the pen tioners he has not Charg
ed them any more than the legal fee, viz :
Twenty-five cents and postage, and ex
penses of pension office in Philadelphia,
which amount, including the lee of twenty
five cents for the oath before the Notary
Public, has not exceeded one dollar on each
payment. The filling out of the papers at
twenty-five cents each (the fee allowed by
law) will not pay any one unless there be a
great number to fill out, • which is not the
case in our town. It has heretofore been
done more as an accomodation to the pen
sioners than for the lop. We understand
however that some of our claim agents in
Lancaster charge for their own fee from
two dollars and fifty cents to 1: ve dollars on
each collection, besides loaning money to
pens inners in advance of payment at high
rates of interese. This is entirely wrong,
and the government officials should enforce
the law,which makes it a high misdemeanor
to charge more than twenty-five cents for
filling out the papers of pensioners. No
claim agent can enforce the payment of any
money paid in advance on any pension
certificate. The closing words of all pen
sion certificates being as follows:
" No Sale, transfer, or mortgage of any
degcription whatever, of the whole or any
part of the pension payable in virtue of this
certificate, is of any legal or binding force
against either the pensioner or the United
States."
The amount due those battle scarred
veterans, or the widows and orphans of
brave men is small enough when paid in
full, and we are glad to see this action on
the part of the government and pension
agents.
EDITOR Spy :—ln your last issue I noticed
a report of a certain shooting match held in
Lockard's Meadow. Some twenty or thirty
birds were sacrificed to please a party of
gentlemen, of sporting tastes. This may be
all right, or it may not be, in contempla
ion of the law. New York has a legalized
society for the prevention of cruelty to ani
mals. Pennsylvania has recently adopt
ed the same law, and if we are not in error,
has added a woman's branch to the society.
The birds which are sacrificed to the sport
of our sharp-shooters are animals. Then
according to the law are not all these peo
ple subject to a penalty, being guilty of
" cruelty to animals?" If they are, let the
law be enforced. Legitimate pleasure and
sport are allowable, but that which requires
the penalty of death to any living being,
however insignificant, should bo discour

THE Lecture by J. J.;Sprenger on Thurs
day evening "Steaming across the Conti
nent" was attended by a very large and
appreciation audience, embracing the elite
of Columbia. Mr. Sprenger opened his
address by referring to the fact that he was
merely an amateur, and that he would
state plainly and simply the observations
be bad made in the far West.
The speaker first referred to the wonder
ful progress in the West. The "far West' ,
is now only a central louality,Chicago is an
Eastern city in comparison with what it
once was. The audience nowaoins,the lecture
,in his trip: We go dashing over the Ne
britska prairies, through the rich valley of
the Platte and on till Mr. Lo! disturbs our
peace and quiet. But anxiety is soon al
layed, when the traveler ;is pointed to a
semi-occasional out post of five "boys in
blue," twenty miles from any fort, and he
settles down in comparative safety to be
disturbed again by the sight of a new made
grave. We go dashing over boundless prai
rie—a waving sea of Emerald—es we ap
proach the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky
mountains, sparkling like diamonds and
rubies. Then we pass Cheyenne, the
canvass town of the west; we tremble on a
quiveritig bridge over pale creek,'and hold
our breath till 'we aro safely ascending the
mountains. At Sherman station, 8,200 feet
above tide water,we brauthe with difficulty.
Here we see a magnificent panoramic view
of the Pacific' slope. Wo stay awhile at
Salt Lake, then dash on and on amid en
chanting beauties till we reach the golden
gates of San Francisco. Here we see the
Chinese, learn something of them very un
favorable, then journey by water 800 miles
to Portland, Oregon. Oregon is the Switzer
land of America. We then return to Sun
Flotruoisco -and find 'ourselves homeward
`bounding, having travelled 4,200 miles,
passed through every variety of climate—
winter, verdant spring and torrid midsum
mer—mountains of perpetual snow and
valleys of perennial green.
This is neccessarily but a faint outline of
the lecture. Mr. Sprenger's description:of
the west is comprehensive,entertaining and
instructive. Ho is a natural and pleasant
speaker, and posessed of the power for close
observation. The concluding portion of
the lecture was very fine. We congratulate
Mr. S. upon his success.

We copy the fellowiag from the proceed

seen in the entire audience when she hail
finished ; and in a few minutes she recited
the " Scolding Wife " amid roars of laugh

from " Widow Bedott," with the same hap
