M.—The Shawnee Council of Jr. O.U. A. M. have lately fitted up their Lodge Room in a very neat and becoming manner. It has been re-papered and the Boor covered with a splendid carpet, giving the room a very fine appearance. This evinces the fact that the members are work ing with a zeal. and the order is in a flour ishing condition. BAIEFS.—The ladies will present the Brotherhood of Railroad Employees Divi sion No. 1 with a bible on Saturday even ing in the room over Patton's store. The Columbia Deposit Bank opened on Thursday; see their card. About 30 new buildings will go this spriiig, in addition to.the Town Ball. Business men cln have circulars, cards, bill heads ctn., printed at this office very cheap. TITE business of Columbia is looking up. We are to have a new Public Hall. The enterprise will bring capital and trade to town. Another bunking institution will afford other facilities. And besides these enterprises. he it this day known that Max Bucher has just received a large stock of fresh groceries, coffee, tea, sugar, cheese, 6ce. Max has the best 10 cent sugar in town. Give him a call at once. Tar: lending "Watch dealers in all the principles cities and towns of the United State, fro in Portland to San Francisco, anti from St. Pant to New Orleans, to the num ber of ovcr five hundred, have sent volun tary testimonials to the National Watch Company, that they consider and recotn moat the Elgin Watches to be all that the Company advertise them, as better finished more eorreet and durable than any in mar ket of similar prices. This is a deservedly high cmnpliment to the character of the Elgin Watches, and ought to be conclusive with watch buyers as to the with - 4i they want. Two GRAND PROJECTS.—The success of the Reading room enterprise is establishbd beyond peradventure. Now we turn our attention to another grand project--the con templated Public Hall. Full proceedings of town council will be found elsewhere. Our limite.l space prevents further refer ence this week. Already the croakers and old fogies are at work getting up an oppo sition. The same spirit which embarrassed Mr. Case in the construction of the R.. 5; C. R. R., opposed the erection of the Market House and interfered disastrously with other new and public enterprises, is now op posing the Hall. Mark these croakers. They can only rally a sympathizing ele ment. Birds of a feather, flock together. CARRYING A JOKE TOO FAR.--Some young ladies and gentlemen who attending a surprise party, or something of the kind, were obliged to sit three on a seat. One of the seats contained two gentleman and one lady. The gentlemen, of course, would not allow the lady to an exposed seat ; she, therefore, sat in the middle. As the night was extremely cold, gentleman number one quietly passed his hand, (a remarkably small hand by the way,) into the lady's muff. As the muff was not very capacious the lady quietly removed one of t er hands from the same. In a few moments she felt a movement on the other side, and found gentleman number two attempting to pass his hand into the mull on the other side. She then quietly drew her hand from the muff and allowed him to do so. What took place in the mud' afterward she is unable to say. But each of the gentleman privately report ed to a small circle of friends how warmly the lady had returned the pressure of his band in the mud; while the lady as private ly reported to her iriends the magnificent sale she had n.ade of both gentlemen. A NEW WONDER.—A gentleman from 'West Chester came to town a few days ago bringing with him a small article which at •once, attracted the attention of our citzeus. He carried it in a small valise or carpet bag and the people said " there goes a car pet. bagger." It was not an infernal ma chine, nor a torpedo, nor a bottle of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, nor anything contraband of war. The gentleman stop ped at the Washington House took rooms and sent his card around to J. W. Bruner. Mr. Bruner, after some hesitation, called to see the gentleman and after taking an oath not to divulge any secret unlawfully and paying the stipulated initiation fee, had conferred upon him, the degree of "Agent for the sale of Thayers Combination Tack Hammer." This is a most useful article, combining a hammer, tack claw, screw <lnver, nail claw and rule, all capable of being used without one interfering with the other. Every housekeeper should have one, J. J. Barber is the general agent .and J. W. Bruner. No 231 Locust street the _agent for Columbia. ColiNcit..—Stated meeting of Council was held on Friday evening. Messrs. Baker, Arms, Crane, Craig, Detwiler and Patton were present. The Finance Committee reported that they had made a temporary loan of $2OOO according to instructions of Council. Note, less discount Recd from T. Dunbar Tax Col Orders Paid Balance in Treas. 51801.06 The Market Committee reported progress in the erection of the necessary improve ment on the Market lot. The Gas Committee reported that a num ber of Lamps had been present. A number of citizens being present, Mr. Detwiler moved that any one desiring to address Council bo allowed the privilege. Col. C. S. Kauffman appeared in behalf of the Masonic Hall Association, and ad dressed Council in relation to securing the Borough Lot either by purchase or lease for the purpose of erecting a Hall. He also remarked that the Association had deter mined to erect or secure a Hall and thought it would probably be the best plan for the Borough to put up a building and lease the third Moor to the Masonic Order, making Stores and offices in the first floor and a Public Hall in the second. The Col. fur ther remarked that in case the Borough would proceed with the work that the Ma sonic Hall Association would take from SSOOO to $lO,OOO worth of Borough Bonds. On motion of Mr. Patton, a Committee of live, consisting of Messrs. Crane, Detwiler, Nourse, Craig and Dietz, was appointed to meet a Committee of the Masonic Hall As sociation at A. J. Kauffman's Office on Sa turday evening in regard to the building of a hall. Mr. Hartman appeared and asked for the opening of an Alley, 120 feet from Fourth Street, east, near corner of Fourth ch Wal nut to give him an outlet to buildings he proposes to erect on Fourth Street. Mr. Supplee asked that Bank Alley be opened .o communicate with his property, between Union and Perry Streets. A petition in relation to the same subject signed by Messrs. A. Bruner, D. Stape, Sr. D. Stape, Jr., David F. Welsh, A. J. Guiles and A. Chambers, was also presented. Upon the petition of J. B. Bachman and others Mr. Detwiler offered the following resolu tion which was adopted: Resolved, That the Paving Committee are hereby instructed to notify all property holders on the North side of Mill Street, from Second to Fourth. and from corner of Fourth & Manor to Plane, to have pave ment laid, and that a board-walk be laid from Mill to Manor Street. A communication was received from Jo seph M. Watts in relation to the damages to the property on Market Street, of which be is part owner. A communication was received from IL C. Fondersmith in relation to placing a post in Bank Alley, to enable him to lower Hogsheads and Barrels in his cellar. On motion of Mr. Patton it was referred to the Paving Committee. The resignation of J. C. Clark as Borough Regulator was tendered, on account of not being in possession of the proper instru ments. On motion of Mr. Detwiler, Mr. Clark's resignation was accepted, and the Road Committee was instructed to make inquiry in regard to securing a Regulator and report at the next meeting. Mr. Detwiler offered the following reso lutions which were adopted. Resolved, That the assessment for the year 1870 be made at the rate of 75 cents on every one hundred dollars valuation on all borough property, according to the county valuation, and that there be assessed and collected a 7)er capita tax of 50 cents on each and every single man and tenant, and that an abatement of 5 per cent. bo made for all taxes paid prior to July Ist, 1870. Resolved, Thai appeals will be heard at the Town Hall, between the hours of two and five o'clock, on the afternoon of Thum- May 12th, 1870. Adjourned. SPECIAL MEETING.—A special meeting of Council was bold on Monday evening. Members present-I-Messrs, Arms, Baker, Dietz, Craig, Detwiler, Hippey, Nourse and Patton. The following report of the Committee, appointed by Council to confer with a Com mittee of the Masonic Hall Association, was presented : To the President and Members of the Town Council of the Borough of Columbia: GENTLEMEN :—Tbe committee appointed by your Honorable body on the 18th inst., to confer with a similiar committee of the Masonic Hall Association, and to enquire into and report 013011 the expediency of leasing to the said Association, for a term of years, the lot of ground on the South-east corner of Locust and Third Streets, now occupied by the Town Hall and for Market porposes, with the privilege of erecting thereon a new and substantial building to be used as a Town Hall and for other pur poses, and also to determine upon the pro priety of erecting said building at the ex pense of the Borough, respectfully report; That they net and c.mferred with the com mittee above named, at the otlice of A. J. Kauffman, Esq., on the evening of the 19th inst., and alter having fully discussed the matter, they are unanimously of the opin ion it would not be advisable to lease the sa id l o t of ground to the said Association for the purposes mentioned, upon any terms; and they recommend that the Coun cil immediately enter into contract, with re sponsible parties, for the erection of said upon the express conditions that two-thirds of the citizens of the Borough express their approval of the measure by a direct vote, and that appropriate legislation be secured authorizing the Borough to issue bonds, not tmceeding in amount forty thousand dollars, payable in twenty years, and bearing at the rate of six per cent, per annum, payable semi-annually in gold. They also recotnmend beat the said build ing be about one hundred and twenty-five feet in length and seventy fet-t in width, and that the first story be divided into five store rooms, wi' h one or more entrances to thesecond and third stories; that the second story be used as a public Hall, and that the third story be occupied as a Council Cham ber. and by the Masonic Order or any other associations Ma simile r character. Having discharged the duties assigned them, your committee respectfully beg to be discharged. Robert Crane.S. S. Detwiler, Alex. Craig, F. S. Metz, C. S. Nourse, Committee. Columbia, March 21, 1870. The following petition was presented to Council signed by over two hundred ctti- =I To the Town Council of the Borough of Co- lumbia GENTLEMEN :—Whereas the only Public Hall Millis place is entirely too small to ac commodate the public (the town having outgrown it) and as the Borough has about the only piece of ground that would be a suitable location for a Hall,and as it is man ifest that the right kind of Hail erected at the proper place would pay a good interest in view of these facts we think that the Bo rough should build one, Therefore, We the undersigned citizens respectfully request the Town Council to call a meeting with a view to take the preliminary steps for the accomplishment of the erection of a Hall on the ground adjoining the Market House, the same to be submitted to the people, be fore anything definite is done, for their rat ification. Air. Detwiler offered the followiug reso- ition which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That there be a committee of three appointed to procure such legislation immediately, as will permitour Borough to borrow 2410,000. to be expended cm the erec tion of a new Town Hall, on the Borough' Lot, corner of Third and Locust Streets, or as much of said loan as may be required for that purpose, Provided That two-thirds of all the votes cast at an election to be held for that purpose, approve of erecting said building. The President appointed Messrs. Detwi- ler, Craig and Bletz as the committee to se cure the necessary legislation. Ou motion of Mr. Bletz it was Resolved, That an election be held on Sa turday, April 9th, between the hours of 1 and 7 P. 1d.,:t0 decided in' regard to the building of a Hall, and that due notice be given in both the-papers. - - Mr. Bletz moved that the President pro tem, be instructed to appoint a Judge.

A careful comparison of our prices with those of Lancaster city and several of the other small towns in the county proves that the cost of butter, eggs and in short all farm produce is from 20 to 40 and 50 per cent higher here than elsewhere. This should not be. We afford most excellent facilities for those attending markets and our market hours are suited to the convenience of the farmers. Yet many who live within a cir cuit of five miles go to Lancaster markets. If it were generally known that produce brings higher prices here it might induce many to come to the Columbia mar kets. Besides the demand of our popula tion, we observe that the Saturday markets are generally attended by :Nlariet lions, who come and return in the trains. Attention of Town Council is called to the necessity of providing further market ac commodations. The number of p. ople who are necessarily packed In the Market House on Saturdays especially renders locomotion al most impossible. We saw a peaceful and orderly citizen painfully and fearfully mixed in a promiscious mass of baskets, crinoline, butter and eggs. The poor un fortunate carried borne something less than a pound of butter on his coat sleeve, to gether "Ith the enathemas of somebody's scolding wile- -and whose wife would'nt scold under such circums%ances ? It cost her a pound of butter " and made her tem per mad." We noticed several members of Connell prospecting around the market house on Saturday morning, and we trust some plan will be devised to secure better accommo dations. Probably the projected new Hall can be built with that purpose in view. BUSINRSS CH - ANC:I.:S.—We give below all changes iu places of business, already heard from, which have taken place, or will take place next month. Our readers will please inform us of any change not mentioned here : Jos.

Frank Shlllot has purchased the store lately owned by S. F. Dernthelsel, corner or Third and Union streets, and intends opening a Dry Goods and Grocery store. Ue will relinquish his butchering business. The - Aioimal School Emma Si'v:—ln the Herald of last week I find "M " continuing his exposition of Normal Schools. This time he indulges in figures and brings forth very damaging re sults. He takes tip Prof. Brooks' report and filches therefrom the following data concerning the operations of the Millers ville Normal School for 1869, viz : there were "761 pupils-462 males, 269 females; of this number 32 constituted the graduating class." "The number of undergraduates who drew the State appropriation of 50 cents a week during the past year is upwards of four hundred." "The sources of income, $4,113 State appropriations, not including the $l5OO to graduates ; $5,979.90 for books and stationery furnished the pupils." Hav ing these data, " M " puts his knowledge of arithmetic in the subjunctive, and paren thetically begs pardon, and then proceeds to work the following calculation : " Stiite appropriation, $4,113; books, etc., $5,950; graduates, $1500; 400 students, at 50 cents a week, for, say 40 weeks, or $2O apiece— sSooo; total, $19,593 expended to graduate 32 persons, costing somebody other than themselves an average of $612 apiece." This is his result minus a large portion of acrimonious verbiage. Let us scrutinize this figuring somewhat. The State appro priated 50 cents per week to such pupils, intending to teach, for all the time he at tends; this, Prof. Brooks says, amounted to $4,113. How to en can "M " got $BOOO more? Prof. Brooks says there were up wards of four hundred pupils that took this appropriation , " lii " says the 32 graduates took it all. Prof Brooks says 761 pupils used and paid for $5,980 worth of books; •' M " says the S 2 graduates used them and did not pay for them. Brooks says the graduates cost somebody other than them selves $5O apiece; " " says $612. Here is thus a slight discrepancy as you preceive, between these two arithmetical authorities How does it occur? In this way "M" as sumes that the books cost nothing in the first place, then he adds two State appropri ations anechitrges two allowances of 50 cents per week. Perhaps "M " has had some connection with railroads and may have learned his art of balancing accounts from the contractor whose accounts ran thus: "Teddy McFlaherty, to one pair of boots he got, $5,00; To one pair he didn't get, $5,00 ; Total, $10,06." It may be that "figures don't lie," but it must be conceded they partake very largely of the character of the person that arranges them. Let us pursue " 7.1.1'5" method of calculating to its legitimate conclusions. 32 graduates cost $Ol2 apiece. 10 would have cost $122.4 apiece, S would have cost $2,446 apiece, and, there fore, 0 would have cost $19,503. But why did " 111." take only a few of the items of expenditure? Prof. Brooks, in his report. (C gym. S. Rep. statement, P-con. page IV.) says the total expenditure of the Normal School was $0,196.32. Thus the 32 gradu ates "cost somebody other than themselves $2,515 apiece." Had there been no gradu ates this would give us the equation, 0=360,407.32. These results may not be strictly accurate, but they are logically ob tained by " M's" method of solving prob lems without being " confined to forms." I do not attribute to Prof. Brooks the honor of having taught mo this formless method of ciphering, but I must ascribe that honor to "AI" who alone can teach the "principles" of arithmetic without " form," and this is a specimen. " M " says I would again take occasion to deprecate the charge of opposition to Nor mal Schools "as such," Weil, yes, "Mish ter Books, I trashed your tootle poy Boot, but I be's your friend." I have no doubt his readers will be better able to decide that matter for themselves than from any maundering disclaimers he may put forth. "M"asseverates thus: "Mental Arithmetic, a distinct brauch,is the solving of arithm et loll problems without the use of slate and pencil." He then elucidates his method of teaching it as a distinct branch. "Call up a class in Mental Arithmetic and propound problems to t hem, involving only the prin ciples which they hare already been taught thoroughly' in their written arithmetic,.e . t ereises,and require solutions of them with out the use of slate and pencil, and without previous study.'' Here he again most dex trously overreacl'es himself by making Mental Arithmetic a distinct branch de pending "only" upon Written Arithmetic. Is it a " distinct branch " if it " involves only the Written Arithmetic exercises ?" flow can it be taught as a "distinct branch" if it is only to verbally rehaerse what has al ready been taught thoroughly in the Writ ten Arithmetic exercises? Can it be taught as a "distinct branch" unless there be some previous study? When there is no provi study there is certainly no "distinct" teach ing. If Mental Arithmetic is a distinct branch it must have its own distinct prin ciples and methods; otherwise it is not dis tinct, and then it need not depend "only" upon Written Arithmetic nor any other branch. As a distinct branch to be proper ly taught, it must have its due share of distinct previous study and preparation for the recitation, but "M" would make it an impromptu exercise to consist "only" in the solution of "problems which have been thoroughly taught, without previous study." lle next gives us a precious morsel of his own experience in teaching. It appears that at one period of his life he became the successor of a teacher who left the school at the middle of the session. The first thing he did was to call up the Franklin class in Mental Arithmetic. They came up with their slates under their arms. This greatly agitated him and he repeated the eidl,when they *sotto voce replied "this is it." Then he smiled and said, "well I prefer that you leave your slates at your desks," after which he smiled again and says to us "you would have smiled, too, at the idea of their bringing their slates," to be sure we would, like Pickwick, "it is the best idea, ha, ha!" But what object has "M" in so minutely narrating this trivial circumstance? Evi dently more then to excite our risibilities. Though he does not say that his predecessor ever had attended a session at the Normal School at Millersville, yet he labors to leave that impression, for by this illustration he assumes he can obtain from us a conces sive answer to the question he bases upon it ; Ile asks, "But in what respect did their recitation differ from the manner of teaching Mental Arithmetic at 'Millersville and through Millersville all over the State?" here he asserts without qualification that at Millersville Mental Arithmetic is thus taught, and he asserts it more distinctly in other places in his last article. In this con troversy we can go to the fountain head and obtain all the profit necessary to sub stantiate the utter fallacy of "M's" reckless and unwarranted assertions. Prof. Brooks, when he wrote and published his Mentid Arithmetic, gave with it his method o teaching it as a distinct branch. These methods can be found by "M" or any one by referring to the first pages of the book, where, under the head of "Suggestions to Teachers," he will find the following:— " Com ron Method—By this method the problems are read by the teacher and as signed promiscuously, the pupils not being permitted to use the book during thereci tation, nor retain the conditions of the problems by means of pencil and paper, as is sometimes done, ite." lie then giveS several other methods, not one of which, makes provision for, nor permits the pa-. pit to use book, slate or pencil, and at the •close he remarks, " With advanced pupils we prefer the first method or the first com bined with the third." Which see. This is the method of teaching Mental Arithmetic, according to Brooks,and this is the method by which it is taught by Millersville grad uates and "through Millersville example all over the State." And that it is, "M" can verify and have ocular demonstration of here in our own borough schools from Mill ersville graduates and those who have been taught by them. "M" very sanctimoniously says, "no one should make a charge which ho is not able to sustain." But pray, sir, how must a charge be sustained, if not by facts and the truth? We have no reason to beliove that Mental Arithmetic is taught by Mill ersville graduates or students otherwise than according to Brooks, other than his own unsustained assertions. He complains that pupils can talk their Mental Arithme tic, problems as " Pat as Yankee doodle," but obviously he can talk some things equally as " Pat." But "M's" troubles seem never t be over. Not long since he happened to hear a Millersville graduate teach a class in reading. The lesson was Collens' Ode to ho Passions. He quotes a distich thus "With ono rude crush he struck the Lyre, And swept with hurried hand the strings." The teacher, it appears, wanted the first line read with the falling inflection at the close. "Because . it is a perfect sentence." This,ntoVes""l'd's" anger, and he interro gates furiously, thus, "who but a Millers ville graduate would say that is a perfect sentence." I must agree with "M" in this instance that the first line as he giyes it is not a per fect sentence, because he does not quote it correctly. A Millersville graduate will do one thing and that is quote correctly. The line correctly quoted reads thus : "In one rude clash be struck the lyre." This correct quotation makes quite a different sentence and as such it is a per fect sentence, having all the parts necessary to express a complete thought, and though it is coordinate with one other "perfect sentence," that does not vitiate nor dimin ish its own perfection. Thus it required the falling inflection and if so read the reading was correct. But you perceive "M" made these mis takes in quoting, one line of poetry, and i; I were dispos'ed to make as a poor a pun upon the last word I could give it a better impersonation thati,liie did. Perhaps, how ever, his tiem ,-, .so'. 6 strack" with the read ind-or the seritenee.wits somewhat a person al mattes to him, but he ought to know there are two words that sound very much alike though the authography is not the same. I can assure him he was in no danger as "lyre" is a Musical instrument. In an swer to his plaint that no where else than at Millersville is reading taught by rule, I will refer him to Yale college, Union col lege, Princeton college, and to Elocution ists everywhere, and to the best school books on the subject of Reading now ex tant. Ile may be very "familiar with gram marians," but he needs a better acquaint ance with good readers. I have now twice answered " M " in his vindictive attack upon Normal Schools and its graduates, and have shown beyond a peradventure that he has most viciously contradicted himself, that he has indulged in gross exagerations in his statements. allowing his facts to be true, which is in deed very charitahl,, I have not written with the view of vanquishing "M" but to show our community what manner of man we have in our midst who thus frequently tests our medulity. Thus I have occupi ed much space in your paper, and consum ed much of my time. PROGRESS. COT.M.SIII.I, March 16. 1870. Trtn Chief Burgess reported the order in the Borough excellent, with tae exception of the late visit of the "Knights of the dark lantern society." The above paragraph occurs in the pro ceeding-4 of Council at their last meeting, as reported in the columns of the Herald. It purports to be an official message from the Chief Burgess the high and great execu tive of the Borough. Though the editor of that paper is also the clerk of council, we presume that this part of his report, oven stamped with this semi-official endorse ment, is a typographical error. Surely the gentlemen composing the Council possess sufficient dignity not to permit at commu nication so ridiculous to be incorporated in the minutes as a part of the proceedings of their honorable body. Their wisdom and intelligence forbid the entertainment of such a thought. We regard the Council as an assemblage of dignified and worthy men, and we would consider them compro rutErd brentertainlng any communication or message, from a co-ordinate branch of the corporation they represent, which smacks ofleviry or familiarity. To report the disturbances of the "Knights of the dark lantern Society" to the assembled wisdom of "city fathers" might do for the latitude of Manheim ! The importance which our Borough has assumed during the past few years distinct ly points to a period at no distant day when her increased growing interests:will require a city incorporation, and whe n our muni cipal government will require intelligent executive administration. Hence the im portance of conducting and recording the minutes and history in view of such con tingency. Do not let the office of Chief Burgess become a public gesting, place for the perpretration of pointless jokes. We trust Council will take measures to have this part of their proceedings expung ed from the minutes. M. A LANCASTEMAN MURDERED.—in 11%fort tann. Territory, on the 15th or last January, John It. Bitzsr, aged 36 years, whilst ro tstruing to his home about 10 o'clock at night, his attention was attracted by cries of distress issuing from a house which he war; passing. He enl‘tred the house to as certain the cause, when he found A. 11. Cnow, a Chinaman, beating his wife. Ho ordered hint to desist . . The man did so, then went into a side room and returning with pistol without speaking a word, fired at young Blitzer, the ball entering his abdo- men. Mr. B. then left the house to find a physician; he had walked about 200 yards when, from weaknes, he was oblige I to en ter Shed's saloon. The ball was extracted by a physician, but Mr. 13. died next day, after having made a request of hits partner, S. D. McComb, to have his remains decent ly interred. De is buried at the south end of Helena Cemetery. The murdered eseaped ; but on the morri'ng of the 18th of the same month, I,is body was found hanging to the Vigilante Tree, labelled with the deed he had committed, and "Beware of the Vig ilanters, fur they are still living." Columbia, March lt.ith, 1370. -,.Mn.Eorrou :—ln looking over the pro ceedings of Council, we observe the resigna Lion of the Borough Regulator, "on account of not being iq p iiicssion of the proper in struments." Here is something uew under the sun. We do hope that Council will not be im portuned into the purchase or intruments cspccialtli for our Borough Regulator. The artesan or tradesman would make a sorry °flint in prosecuting his trade without the necessary tools. If the office of the civil engineer is so unimportant, or the officer so little engaged in his calling as not be in possession of his proper implements or in struments, had we not better make appli cation to the Mayor of Drytown, or the Mayor of Monntville for a full-llegecl, fully equippo . engineer—one who could perform the duties of his office without begging his tools wont Council. Aim es. ItEraoloos.—The R .v. S. a. C. Smith aviug,returned from conference will preach ,1 the M. E. Church next Sabbath morning and evening.

A cordial welcotne to all. Tiii Lancaster inteiligencer persists in parading at the top of its local column the "Lancaster and Reading Railroad." We never heard of such a road before we saw the announcement in the Intelligencer, but we presume it refers to the Lancaster branch of the Reading Columbia.
