Jr.. 0. U. A. 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

CAMEROIsI'S MISTAKE.--When Senator
Cameron visited town the other day, he
committed one gross mistake. He should
have enoained over till Monday, and then
iu company with his illuetrions associates
have visitedthe tailoring establishment or
J. W. Reasin, and secured one of his floe
suits, perfectly fitting and cheap. sP.
I3rrnovmErsr.—The office formerly occu
pied by T. Strine, as a livery office, on Lo
cust street, is beinc neatly painted, refitted
and otherwi-e improved, and will hereafter
be occupied by C. Lucas as a barber shop.
A new office for the accommodation of Mr.
Strine has been built in the rear of the lot.
It would add greatly to the appearance of
Locust street if some of her old buildings
were torn away or remodelled.

OUR MA.RICETS.—Any person who intends
our =lnsets can readily sea that tho de
mand for produce is greater than the sup
ply. 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.

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.

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.
