REPUBLICAN PIEETING IN THE
TOWN LIALL.
WE•,, the undersigned Republicans of Co
lumbia and vicinity, friends of Protection
to American Industry, believing that the
prosperity of our country, and the comfort
and happiness of her citizens arc endanger
ed by the free trade move ment, and by the
course which professed Republican journ
als in our midst aro pursuing, unite in a
call for a PUBLIC MEETING to be held in
TOWN HALL, on MONDAY EVENING,
JUNE 20th, to discuss this important
question, and adopt such measures as will
secure a general expression of the senti
ments of the R epublicans of Lancaster
county. fSigned by nearly two hundred
-Republicans.]
LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
BACH ENICEDIEIt has drawn a huge figure
"5" in front of his store. It means that
you can get your goods of him one-fifth
lower than anywhere else.
NEW Boor AND Silas STOEE.—James
Shroeder has sold his store to A. S. Guiles,
who has increased his stock, and will con
tinue at the old stand, 14S Locust street.
INTERVIEW.—A IVestern gentleman has
interviewed the Cardiff Giant, who is now
travelling with a circus Oro' Ohio. The
account of the interview is given on the
fourth page.
MOUSTVILLE ITEMS.—The corner stone
of the church built by the United Brethren
Congregation, will be laid on the 20 inst.
The Anniversary of the Mountville Sab
bath School which was bold on the evening
of the 20 inst., was a perfect success. Al
though the weather was very incletnent
yet there was a good attendance, and all
were gratified by a satisfactory entertain
ment.
SUNDAY EV" EN ENG.—The churches ♦sere
well attended on Sabbath evening—Rev. S.
H. C. Smith addressed the students of the
Columbia Classical Institute in the Presby
terian church, before a large congregation.
The attendance at Rev. G. M. Rhode's
Lutheran church was unusually large.
Rev. B. T. Douglass held regular services
at the Episcopal. The Reformed and
Methodist churches were closed on accouut
of the anniversary services at the Presby
terian church.
ONLY a few days more' and hay making
time will be here. Are the farmers all
provided with mowers and reapers ? If
not, they should at once secure one of the
best in the market—Dodge's patent mower
and reaper, manufactured at Christiana and
Harrisburg. 11. H. Heise, No. 230 Locust
Street, is the agent; ord. rs left with him
will be filled in six hours notice being
given. We understand that Hr. Heise has
received orders for tive more machines
since Saturday.
Ir would be some advantage to the health
of the upper part of our borough if the San
itary Committee would visit the alley on
Fifth street, below Union. The stench
which arises from that point is almost
enough to cause an epidemic in that sec
tion. As the warm weather is approaching
it is necessary that the greatest care should
be exercised to fortify ourselves against
those summer diseases which arise from
filthy and unclean places. It lies ou the
part of each family to see that the place
which they use as a depository for ashes,
filth, etc., is cleared away and in a good
condition for the summer.
bILLJe.—A Reporter of the Philada. Bta
'Win has been interviewing the milkmen,
and hero is the conclusion:
And what is true of one is true of all—our
milkmen friends might less patronize- the
hydrants at the depots of the railroads.
The gentlemen at Ninth and Green streets,
who till their cans with water, and canter
their horses for a square or two to make
thorough the admixture, should remember
that, in the next world they will be judged
not by the inscriptions on their wagons,
but by the ch_tracter of the article they sold
while sojou •fling in Philadelphia.
Let our milkmen think of these things,
and; when next they go to their hydrant do
their watering gently. To find butter in a
baby's o-•tomach utter churning it on your
knee, front drinking the kind of milk serv
ed it.) our individual household, is an
possible problem.
Boy DaowNED.—On Sunday morning a
boy named Jacob McNeal aged Syears son
of widow McNeal fell into the river from a
raft lying along Bruner's wharf. The cur
rent was very strong, and before assistance
could reach him, h,, was drawn under, and
drowned. Search was immediately made
for the body, and continued until late in
the evening, but without success. On Mon
day morning however, search was renewed
and maimy through the efforts of R. Beach
am,the body was recovered about 11 o'clock.
Deputy Coroner Fraley summoned a jury
consisting of J. H. Mifflin, M. M. Strickler,
J. W. Yocum, Milton Wike, E. M. Seals
James McGinnis, who rendered a verdict
of "accidental drowning." The case is a
sad one. and parents should be more care
ful in allowing their boys to go near the
water alone.
NOTES AI3OUT TOWN.—Fifteen members
of Cyreue Commando , left on Thursday
fol . the Grand Eucampme.ut, at Williams
port.
W. V. Upp Ints secured the contract for
the new Passenger Depot.
The Columbia Cornet Band has leased
the "Big Island," above the bridge, where
they intend to hold one free ptomenatio
concert each week. Parties can also
secure the island for pic-nics &c. It is a
delightful spot, and plenty of room for
enjoyment.
Messrs Geo. 11. Richards and S. A.
Bockius have been appointed Assistant
Marshals for Columbia.
The "boss" editor of the Harald has a
sarcastic cut for tho managers of the Vig
ilant Fair, about squeezed lemons, orange
peels and broken tumblers. The "rubbish"
has ruffled his generally even, and lovely
disposition to a remarkable degree. Sic
transit gloria Mutt
The Vigilant Fair will be free this after
noon for the benefit of children.
The morning train for Lancaster leaves
at 7:50 instead of S:4O as heretofore. Good
for the railroad company.
The Columbia Cornet Band received
their new instruments on Monday evening.
They cost WO. Now for good music.
A friend suggests that the "Old Colum
bia Public Ground Company" throw the
Locust and Fifth street lot into a public
park, and erect a stand and invite the
Baud to give us open air concerts.
The Columbia Bank has put an iron rail
ing on the counter around the desks of the
paying and receiving tellers.
Unseld's music room was the scene of a
tine musical demonstration on Wednes
day afternoon.
The Vigilant Fair will be open this after
noon and evening. The contests for the
cane, bell, chair and tea sett &c. will then
close, and the successful contestant be an
nounced.
We counted twelve lads at the corner of
Locust and Second streets on Sunday, just
as people wore going home from churches.
Early practice makes perfect, the boy
think.
The magnificent silver horns for the jun
ior Fire company of Reading from the Co
lumbia boys have been on exhibition in
Breneman's window.
IF you want to save one-fifth of your
loose change, stop at Bachenheimer's.
Ir• your eyes are failing go at once to
Shreiner's and buy a pair of Lazarus .I:
Morris' celebrated perfected spectacles.
PERSONS who live in the upper part of
town can concentrate on Locust street, and
wend their way to Guiles' Shoo store, 148
Locust street.
Corxrmat.A. has an Express wagon, and
Guiles' a cheap shoe store, at No. 143 Lo
cust street.
TEM FALL OF ERFADSTIIFFS.—The joyful
intelligence of the fall of bread became cur
rent in the streets yesterday and spread
with electric rapidity throughout the bo
rough, gladdening the hearts of many of
our hard-working people. Soon hundreds
of eager citizens wore seen flocking to the
spot where this valuable commodity was
said to have fallen, when, lo ! it was discov-
ered to have been a barrel of flour which
had fallen from a wagon bound for R.
Hayes' Grocery and Flour store where can
be had at the lowest price the best flour in
the state. We advise all to give him a call
at Corner of Fourth and Cherry streets.
KITE TIME.—As this is the season for
that kind of amusement, you can see at al
most any time of the day, and especially
in the evenings, young America indulging
in this sport. The other evening we notic
ed six kites, some of colored paper, let out
front one point, ono being almost a half
mile distant from the holder. Quite a
stampede was created the other evening on
Locust street, among a score or more of the
juvE.niles, by the breaking loose of one of
the kites while at a great distance off.
Their shouts and yells caused the people to
come to the doors and almost raised an
alarm of fire. The style, form and their
steady appearance while floating through
the air indicates the flict that the art has
not been forgotten by the rising generation.
PErsoNAL.—The first of the series of mu
sical criticisms from "Musical" must be
declined, as the notes are entirely too per
sonal; even our musical readers would feel
no interest in learning insignificant facts
about Smith or Jones, whom even the rest
of the Smiths' or Joneses do not know. To
say that a "chorus was splendidly done,"
that the '' Kyrie was carried through rather
too slow" and the tenor solo we think have
heard the Doctor do better," proves that the
writer has not cultivated even a literary
taste. " The Incarnates was sang," and
" done splendidly" aro all expressions
which should not mar a musical criticism,
intended for publication. The production
contains other unpardonable expressions,so
that it would require thorough expurgation
before we could admit it into our columns.
OUR RAILROAD FACILITIES.— We had the
pleasure a few days ago of enjoying a de
lightful trip over the Reading ct; Columbia
R. R. to Rending. The day was clear and
pleasant, and the air cool and refreshing—
just such a morning and evening as would
be selected for a drive into the country.
The quiet landscape scenery, here and
there relieved by wooded mountain and
bill, was very pleasing,affordlng refreshing
rest and recreation from the cares of busi
ness life. The fields and meadows on either
side of the road, and as far as the eye can
reach, give evidence of thrift, and careful
cultivation, and with here and there a
dark green wooded patch, present a pano
rama of variegated beauty, peculiar only to
Lancaster county.
The R. d; C. R. R., have reduced their
fares to such a rate, that any one, to escape
the cares of business and the heat of town,
can well afford to take a trip to almost any
point along the road. Litiz, Ephrata, Mil
way and Sinking Springs offer extra in
ducements this summer. The two former
have been fitted up in the finest style, and
were formally opened to the public on
Wednesday. The accommodations of the
road are daily increasing, and as there is
not the least dust to cloud the eyes, or soil
the clothes, passengers can enjoy all the
pleasures, and more comfort than by a car
riage drive into the rural districts, and
pleasure-seekers can not do better than tak
ing the trip we have indicated. Excursion
ickets good for three days are now issued
by the Company, and they offer all the mi
nor accommodations usually found on the
great throughfares.
With obliging conductors and enterpris
ing officers, the road will rapidly gain
a still firmer hold on the public. Its sum
mer travel must increase with each year,
and especially when the beauty of the
country through which it passes becomes
more widely known.
Do not pay peddlers or traveling agents
two or three prices for ordinary glasses
when you can buy Lazarus t Morris' per
fected spectacles at half the price at
Shreiner's.
EXTENSIVE ART GALLERY.—Next to the
Bible, no book is more useful than Web
ster's Dictionary. The Unabridged is an
extensive art gallery, containing over three
thousand engravings, representing almost
every animal, insect, reptile, implement,
plants, etc., which we know anything
about. It is a vast library, giving infor
mation on almost every mentionable sub
ject. It indeed has been well remarked that
it is the most remarkable compendium of
human knowledge in our lauguage.—llouse
hold Advocate.
Tut Ftcr•.snsT.—Tho rains last week
caused the river to rise nearly as high as
during the April freshets. The showers
were almost incessant, and besides the
general damage to the crops, much loss
was sustained by the lumbermen. The
rise was unexpected, and hence lumber
was more exposed. Messrs Thomas ct,
Mason constructed a small boom, but as
the water did not float any of their lumber
away, it was not pat to use. Small quan
tities of loose timber floated down with the
current on Sunday, but the loss thereby
could not have been serious.
The Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin of
yesterday says that the unprecedented rains
of Thursday, Friday and Saturday caused
a rise in the river, which, for rapidity, has
not been equaled for many years. The
tributari• s in this immediate vicinity were
not much swollen, showing that the rains
had spent their power along the main
stream. On Friday morning the water
had reached fifteen feet above low water
mark, and so suddenly had it come up that
large quantities of logs, which had been
rafted out of the boom and not secured in
basins or harbors, were broken away and
swept down stream. The vacuum left in
the Susquehanna oom where logs had
been ratted out was soon filled by the
crowd from above, and many logs escaped
at the bottom and passed down stream.
The water reached its height about two
o'clock on Saturday morning, when it
marked nineteen feet nine inches, being
several inches higher than the spring
flood.
The loss to the lumbermen of Williams
port, will reach about 8,000,000 feet, amount
ing to $300,000, not cwinting the drawback
for what they may recover below. The
Loyalsock boom did not catch much of the
timber, and it is estimated that. 5,000,000
feet passed below that point. It was a blue
day for many of the lumbermen.
We learn that the Lock Haven boom is
all safe, and few, if any, logs escaped from
it. The flood at that place was not near
so high as the ono at Williamsport.
The people of Mill street had to resort to
the second stories of their houses to escape
the water which took possession of their
first lloors.
Several rafts passed Columbia, down the
river on Monday and Tuesday.
Shad fishing was totally suspended, as
the islands and "batteries" were inun
dated. Our fishermen should bang up their
nets now, as the fish are spawning. The
destruction of every roe shad will rob our
rivers of probably from five to ten thou
sand shad, and materially diminish next
year's supply. There should bo a law,
with a severe penalty attached, prohibit
ing shad fishing after the 10th, of June
MUSICAL AND LITERARY EZZTERTAIN
:WENT. —The Ladies of the Columbia Female
Institute, gave a very interesting Musical
and Literary entertainment in the Method
ist church, on Wednesday evening last, be
fore an intelligent and appreciative audi
ence.
The programme was a very full one, and
the selections both musical and literary,
evinced much taste; tho young ladies ac
quitted themselves in a very pleasant and
composed manner, showing ample prepa
ration and much progress during the past
year.
The French Salutatory was pronounced,
by those who understood it, to be fine both
is composition and pronunciation, which
is very creditable to the young lady orator
as it is a difficult language to acquire.
The allusion to our Cuban relations iu
the essay, "A reunion twenty-five years
hence," by calling that patriotic people
a Cuban American Brothers" was a very
happy one.
All the essays were interesting and ap
propriate, but "Little old men and Little
old women" by Caddie Patton, contained
many laughable references and some of
our boys and girls, might derive many use
ful hints therefrom.
The vocal selection, "Six Cents a quarter
for schooling" was participated in by all
the young ladies, who were assisted by
Messrs. Mifflin and Koonts, in which were
given experiences in a district school un
der some old Curmudgeon," in ye olden
time ;" the incidents were very amusing.
Miss Ray Beiter proved herself to pos
sess literary talent and culture, by tho
strength and clearness of her conposition
called "Silent Influences" and in a very
happy manner called to the minds of the
audience the many silent but very power
ful influences at work upon our lives and
characters.
The eve glided rapidly away,and we were
surprised to find the hands of the church
clock pointing to quarter of eleven
when the entertainment ended, so pleas
antly had the time been occupied.
We might dwell at length upon the ex
ecution of the vocal and instrumental per
formances, but space will not permit.
—The exercises of the Classical Institute
(male department) took place before a very
appreciative audience on Thursday evening.
A voluntary on the organ by Prof. Unsold
opened the entertainment, followed with
prayer by Rev. S. H. C. Smith. The Greek
saluatory by W. C. Alexander, though "all
greek" to the audience, was well delivered.
The Latin saluatory by A. P. Silver 'was
pronounced in a pleasing manner, and
showed thorough classical training. The
English salutatory by A. H. Wilson was
very good, the speaker being graceful and
his oration clear and forcible,
The declamations by George Tille and
Alfred C. Bruner, were very creditable, and
were favorably corn merited on by many in
the audience. The original oration by P.
R. Koons was well written. A dialogue.
`The Fatal Brawl,' participated in by W . , C.
Alexander, J. R. Wier, J. R. Koons, S. B.
Silver and E. S. Barber, afforded opportun i
nity for tine display of speech and ges
ture. J. R. Wier, of Pittsburg in the charac
ter of'` Lamont" rendered his part admira
bly and with real tragic effect.
George C. Jenkins, delivered an oration
on Earnestness. Ho was followed by Lu
cius K. Fondersmith whose declamation
was decidedly fine. He has a good voice,
enunciates distinctly and showed a keen
appreciation of proper emphasis. Christie
C. Kauffman declaimed on the " Follies of
Fashion," and made several hits which
were favorably received by the audience.
Christie told the ladies what folios they
must renounce before they could win his
hand, and left them understand that gen
tlemen generally think alike on that sub
ject. J. C. Steens, the next orator on the
programme possesses a good voice, but
spoke too fast.
The performances of David T. Koons, E.
S. Barber, and A. M. Fuller were all very
creditable.
Geo. C. Cookman delivered the poem,
The Polish Boy, in manly style. The 4.x
-ercise though difficult, was finely render
ed. A Dialogue--The Unforgotten Foe—
between Houston Mifflin and J. M. Martin,
representing a Roman incident of Nero's
reign, showed study, appreciation of its
spirit, as well as native ability.
The oration on William Tell, descriptive
of Switzerland's struggle for liberty, by
• James R. Wier was a master piece. Mr.
Wier is very graceful in his gesticulation,
possesses a fine voice, and, we understand
he devotes special attention to declamations
and elocution. He possesses rare qualities'{
for his chosen field ; W. H. Bayles followed
in a well delivered oration on Traffic in
Spirits.
Houston Minn pronounced Lochiel's
"Warning in a clear and intelligent manner
making the changes of address, and warn
ing, so pleasingly and yet so forcibly, that
we almost fancied two different persons
were rendering it. Jas. M. Martin then
closed in a well written and finely deliv
ered valedictory.
Rev. 11. S. Alexander, the Principal
conferred the honors of the Institute on
eight of the gentlemen, delivering a short
address to the class.
The music (under the direction of Prof.
Unsold) by Misses. Jacobs, IVisler and Ray
Reiter, Messrs. Cookman, Alexander and
Mifflin was a pleasing feature of the eve
ning. The entertainment was a success,
and reflected favorably on the Institution
it represented.
Theintelligent audience waswell pleased
with the entertainment. The performances
were creditable alike to the Institution, the
teachers and students. The orations and
declamations showed careful training, and
many of them were fine examples of ora
tory. Mr. Alexander may congratulate
himself upon the successful termination of
the year's labors.
At the close of the entertainment, Mr. Alex
ander made a few remarks, refering to the
work committed to his hands, and to the
occasional want of sympathy of some of the
citizens of Columbia for his enterprise, -tnd
concluded by saying:
It is said that ministers cannot pray for
the Institute without qualifying their peti
tion. Editors cannot notice it without
qualifying the notice.
So fur as we are concerned in this .say so
of the people, we are entirely misrepresent
ed. We have never referred to the Institu
tion except in the most favorable terms,
and sincerely wish it good speed. Only
last week we said:
This Institute has been in very successful
operation in our midst for several years
Possessing the advantages of location, sur
rounding magnificence of scenery, and
healthfulness of situation, together with
competent and efficient instruetiou,it offers
facilities rarely met with. We strongly ad
vocate the cultivation of the higher and
classical pursuits and studies, and welcome
every institution which offers facilities for
obtaining them.
In connection with these remarks we
referred to a long cherished idea of our
own, of creating in every town and city
a public Classical School department. in
these words:
We have often thought that our public
high school should be a stepping stone to
a public classical department, to which
boys and girls, ladles and gentlemen, un
der certain ages, and under certain regu
lations prescribed by law, should be admit
ted as freely as to any other department of
public instruction. This of course would
not interfere with the private enterprises,
but would only increase educational facili
ties, and open to every class and grade of
people, so far as wealth is concerned, the
same advantages.
No part of these comments were intended
to militate agaist the Institute. In short
we are ready and willing to do anything
in our power to cherish such very insti
tutions as this one—a credit alike to the
projector and the town. The patronage it
enjoys is an untnistaka:zle evidence of its
success, and our favorabl e comments on its
examinations and exercises reflect our
fullest sympathy. We are pleased alike
with its discipline and instruction, and are
not afraid to speak unqualifiedly for its
support. At the same time we are equally
devoted to our fondly cherished idea of
providing classical education for the chil
dren of all classes, even if it must be done,
as in Lancaster city, at the expense of the
Public Treasury.

According to the arbitrary ruling of
Grand Master Gibson, white linen aprons
and white gloves must be worn by all.
"Only this and nothing more" The glo
rious and magnanimous order of Knights
Templar which gives zest, prominence and
beauty to any parade, was excluded.
The lambskin or white leather apron has
too long been recognized as the "badge of
a Mason," to be abolished by a single
stroke of the pen. White linen may be
used as a substitute, or whl'e cotton if con
venient, but there can be no occasion upon
which the badge of a Mason, which is more
ancient than the Golden Fleece or Roman
Eagle, more honorable than the Star or
Garter, cannot with propriety be worn.
We may say here that this lofty, one
man po er of Grand master Gibson is
not original with him. It originated with
the eccentric and tyrannical Richard
Vaux of Philadelphia. We do most sol
emnly and sincerely protest against any
innovation of the sacred rights, privileges
and customs of ancient Free Masonry.
NOTWITHSTANDING the decline in the prices
of marketing generally, our rural friends who
advertise for summer boarders do not appear to
have beea made aware of the fact. We under
stand from those who have been milking in

maintained. As a result of this, a number of
families of our acquaintance have resolved
that if they are compelled to pay first-class
watering place prices, they may as welt have
the benefit of whatever advantages these fash
ionable resorts offer, and will, therefore, ad
journ for the summer to Cape May, Atlantic
city, Saratoga, ete.—Phita. Star-
That's right Mr. Star, let your people go
to Saratoga, Atlantic City, otc.,where war
prices are still maintained as in your city.
Your Continental, Girard and other hotels
still keep up high prices. Lot your city
take the initinto stop and the country will
soon follow. RIP.

Downingtown for the purpose of getting a
sight at the new hotel and the beautiful
country surrounding. The place will be
finished and open for boarders on the first
of July, about two weeks later thau was
anticipated. A few days ago twenty-five
more men were added to the ['technical
force, and all the work is progressing fine
ly. The slaters are now putting on the
roof, and in a few days this immense struc
ture will be under cover. The building is
said to be the most substantial one of the
kind in the country. The work of laying
out the grounds is to be at once gone on
with. Some idea of the size of the build
ing may be had when we state that it will
require three tons of tin for the spouting
around the roof, besides some 2300 loot of

Of labor saving articles

Yet inventive genius to our nand
Offers just one thing more.

Jnne 25th 1 contains the first of a series en
titled Jethro Throop's .Night Thoughts, by
John Thomas, who is no other than Pe

will take an honest country boy to the city,
conduct him through the usual experience,
and restore him to his home a sadder and
wiser boy, satisfied that the peaceful,honest
and temperate life of the farmer is the best
and safest life that can bo lived. This is a
lesson greatly needed at this timo, and
Nasby is the man to teach it.

Tlf2 VICULANT FAXIL—The fair opened
on Monday evening, with encouraging at
tendance, considering the inclemency of the
weather. The hall was previously arrang
ed and decorated with pictures, flags, ,tc.
Tables stretch around the entire hall. Seats
for the weary are placed in the centre. A
lemonade fountain, representing Rebecca
for Margaret or Alice, just as the case may
be) at the well, was placed near the door,
while on the other side was the ice cream
and strawberry table. The tables around
the room are in charge of young ladies—
friends and guardian angels of the "Vigio"
boys. The Confectionery table is presided
over by Misses Emma and Annie Patton,
Annie E. Mullin, Maxie 'Welsh, Mary Boice,
Annie Breneman, Kate Oldwiler and Crea
cie Cranc; the Fancy table, by Misses Ella
Hoes, Nettie l'acho, Alice Welsh, Verna Pe
ters, and Mrs. C. P. Young; the ice cream
and strawberry table, by Mrs. E. Mason
and Mrs. Geo. Rumple; Miss Alice Yacht)
takes the part of " Rebecca at the Well."
Mrs. Thos. Welsh has charge of the dif
ferent departments, and acts in conjunction
with the officers of the company. The arti
cles on exhibition and for sale embrace
every variety of fancy and substantial nee
dle work front a tiny boot well filled with
pins up to magniticent quilts, crochet work
&c.
On the gilt tables we noticed a large bell
for the " favorite milkman," a lamp for a
conductor, a chair for your " favorite min
ister," and a splendid cane, for your " fa
vorite cashier." There has been considera
ble speculation as to the result of these con
tests.
Prominent on one of the tables we noticed
a very fine China tea set of 44 pieces valued
at $15,00 labelled, "Presented by Tyndale,
Mitchell t. Wolf of Philadelphia." These
are to be chanced oft The donation was
a very desirable one, and speaks well of the
liberality of the firm, who by advertising
in our borough papers and by satisfactory
dealings always, are establishing them
selves in the confidence of our people.
The attractions of the Fair are numerous
and we trust our citizens will not fail to
give a good cause a liberal support. In
times of fire and destruction, we look to
these brave firemen for aid and relief. Now
help them. The fund realized is all honestly
and carefully devoted to their efficiency
and bettor equipment.
The fair will close this evening ; the
strawberries, cream and cakes are all good,
as wo have tried them; the chances for
drawing a prize aro favorable, as we tried
them and won, and the articles for sale are
useful und substantial. Let there be a fall
attendance tonight.
VETERINARY STIROTION.—Dr. T. W. "Wal
ter, one of the most successful horse doc
tors in the country has located for a short
time at Mountville, where persons having
diseased horses aro requested to call.
G 001) HEALTEC.—This is is the title of ono
of the best magazines in the country. It is
a monthly publication, edited with ability,
by gentlemen, who stand high in the medi
cal world, and is entitled to the encourage
ment of an intelligent public. We esteem
it as one of our most valuable exchanges.
RAILROAD EXCURSION.—On Wednesday
about sixty Southern Railroad officials, ac
companied by general officers of the Penna.
Central, P. SE. R. It., and N. Cen. rail
road arrived in this place, from Phileda.
They left in special train for Altoona. They
were carried in throe special cars—models
of beauty and elegance.
They contemplate a trip extending over
30 days, and will inspect most of the roads
in the north.
ICE CREAM.—WhiIe we have no desire
to spoil the business of our confectioners
and ice cream men, we call attention to
the opinion of Dr. Hall, on the use of ice
Cream.
In his Journal of Health ho claims that
the colder anything is, the more tasteless
it is, and that "ice cream is fit only for
the stomach of the brawny laborer. The
leavings of one batch are often added by con
fectioners to the fresh preparation of the
day following. The stale portion, if melt
ed, would be not only nauseating, but per
nicious ; the coldness and the taste of the
flavoring alone mask its rancidity.
FREE PASSES.—A Mr. Roberts has just
obtained a verdict from the Toledo and
Wabash roads for injuries sustained while
he was traveling on a free pass. Juclgo
Brady, however, distinctly charged the
jury that whoever accepts a pass must ex
pect to conform to its conditions. The ver
dict of the jury may be set aside in a high
er court. This is a matter of interest to the
million or more of people who aro dead
headed hither and thither over the network
of railways. In view of the frequent acci
dents on some thoroughfares the question
presents itself whether it is not better poli
cy in the long run to pay than to ride free.
JUDICIAL VISIT.—on Wednesday car a
load of " members of ye bar" and jurors
came to Columbia from Lancaster on the
mail train. Among the former were Hon.
I. E. Mester, N. Ellmaker, S. H. Rey
naldo, C. W. Breneman, and tho jury con
sisting of D. Hartman, Wm. Carpenter,
Lather Richards, Hon. Geo. Sanderson,
Webb Michael, John Dohuer and Jacob M.
Long. The party accompanied by H. M.
North Esq. Solicitor for the Pennsylvania
R. R. drove down along the Port Deposit
Railroad to determine damages ttc. claim
ed by parties through whose grounds the
railroad passes. The afternoon was spent
in the hearings, and the professional party
returned to Lancaster in the 5:20 P. M.
train.
THE REFORMED Cuuscrt FESTIVA L.
The Festival opened on Thursday evening
under discouraging circumstances ou ac
count of the unpropitious weather. Fri
day evening was no better, and though
Saturday gave signs of a pleasant evening,
our festival friends were again disappoint
ed. A heavy shower set in, and prevented
many from going. There was notwith
standing a fair attendance, and a pretty
liberal patronage. At the close, the cakes,
bouquets Cc. remaining unsold were dis
posed of at auction to the highest bidder.
The cakes, voted for the favorite minister,
and editor, were awarded to Rev. T. J.
Russell, and Mr. J. A. Wolfersherger re
spectively.
The Festival was a pleasant social occa
sion, and netted the sum of $142.50 for the
church. Had the weather been pleasant,
the profits no doubt, would have been
quite liberal.
TUE INSTITUTE EXAMINATIONS.----The
examinations at the Columbia Classic:ill-In
stitute were held on the 10th, 13th and 14th,
last and so far as we observed and learned
were 'very creditable. We had the pleasure
of being present a part of the time, and
cheerfully testify to the readiness, prompt
ness, and accuracy with which all the stu
dents, male and female, with one or two ex
ceptions, responded to the questions. The
examination in the English branches was
thorough and searching, and as a test gave
evidence of careful and patient, training.
Our space will not permit us to go into de
tail but we have seldom attended examina
tious which showed such preparation and
training as those on Monday and Tuesday.
The classics ton were well sustained dur
ing the test ; several of our citizens, friends
of education were present, and manifested
much interest in the examinations. On
Monday afternoon Rev. D. J. Douglass ex
amined the class in languages, and express
ed himself well pleased with the result.
Several of the misses and boys were ex
ceedingly bright in mathematics and were
warmly praised by the visitors.
