Brinuner the painter left his imprint on Fendrich's windows—a neat, chaste and at tractive sign. He understands the art. The corner of Fifth and Union needs re construction morally. The Chief Burgess and two constables paid it an official visit on Saturday evening. The most effectual remedy lies in closing up the drinking sa loons in that neighborhood, and remonstra ting against further license.

NEW RAILROAD.—The Lancaster Intelli gencer publishes the time table of the "Lan caster & Reading Railroad." We have in quired where such a railroad was located, but have not been informed. We suppose it means the Lancaster Branch of the Read ing & Columbia R. R., which of course is not very new. PERSOIsTAL.—Wm. Dowlin, late of the Co lumbia National was in town on the Fourth His controlling interest in the Iron business has been relinquished.

Fobes, the en terprising agent at Columbia for the cele brated Wheeler St, Wilson Sewing Machines that he has sold between Jan. 3d, and July Ist, a period of not quite six months, $8,750, worth of Machines. This is an unmistaka ble evidence of the superiority of the ma chine, and we doubt whether any other sub agency can exhibit such prosNrity. [For the SgY] LARGE STURGEON CAGGUT.—Last Thurs day there was a terrible excitement at the dam.- A large Sturgeon, weighing, about 175 pounds was caught on a spike in the breast of the dam, and held firmly for sev eral minutes.

Al :MD LANG SYNE.—The other day we re ceived a dainty little note, post-marked "Glascow." We were surprised and delight ed when upon opening it we found it was from a lady friend, now traveling in Eu rope. It contained a single ivy leaf accom panied with this simple message: GLASGOW, June 21st, Is7o. Here is an ivy leaf from the wall of "Al loway's Auld Haunted Kirk," where Tam O'Shanter saw the witches. Being in Scot land I send this in remembrance of " Auld Lang Syne."

Observations made at the Central High School Observa tory, on the morning of June 29th, revealed the existence of upwards of twenty spots, tour of which were quite large, and some very small. The largest of the spots was found to be more than ono hundredth part of the sun's diameter; this would make its area about 64,000,000 square mites, an opening into which the earth could be dropped without inconvenience. The spots will reach their maximum, which, they are now approach ing, about the middle of 1871. COLIMIBIA.IST 1.1 CHAAIDERSIKTRG.-At the annual commencement exercises of Chambersburg Academy, Arr. J. A. Case, sou of W. G. Case, Esq.,delive red an original salutatory, the first honor of the evening. The Repository in speaking of the exercises says: Taking the exercises as a whole we do not hesitate to say that few academies are able to give the public an exhibition of as high standard as this was. The music was well chosen, and executed with much taste and skill, and the literary eflbrts of the young gentleman, whether the orations were or iginal or select, all gave evidence of careful and judicious training on the part of the teachers. and studious habits on the part of the scholars. SUNDAY SCiroOr. Pic-iic.—The Sunday School of the Wa utstreet German Luther an church will take an excursion to Heise's woods, on next Tuesday, there to spend !he day in singing, addresses and innocent amusements. Part of the time will be de voted to a grand concert, for the benefit of the church. Tickets twenty-five cents. It is hoped that a nice fund will be realized from the entertainment. Mr. Schwartz, the pastor is laboring hard to relieve his church of the incu bus of debt and to raise a lund for repairing. It is but fair that he should succeed, and be ena bled to place the church in us Due architect ural condition as the others recently so handsomely refitted. On Tuesday, the school will leave in the morning and spend the day, To escape the broiling heat of the town, and encourage a good cause, get a ticket to the concert. MOUTING PARTV.—The trouting party to the West Branch of the Susquehanna re turned to Columbia on last Friday. It con sisted of Messrs. S. S. Detwiler, Robert Crane of Columbia, R. M. Whipple of Chi cago,M. H. Dickerson, of New York, Lewis Woifloy of New Orleans and M. Q. and J. V. Crane of Jersey Shore. The party ar rived at the " Mansion Farm" of the Crane family in Nippenose township, Lycotuing county, on Monday evening, where prepa rations bad been made for spearing fish. Two boats furnished with the requisite torches and spears were in readiness, and soon after sun down, the party set out for West Branch. The evening wits spent very pleasantly, and a large number of fish se cured by the spears in the skillful hands of Messrs. Detwiler and H. Crane, the cham pion spearsmen. _ On Tuesday morning the party set out for Young Woman's Creek,about fifty miles west of Williamsport on the Philadelphia &. Erie R. R. where they went into regular camp, having provided themselves with tent and full equipage. Trout was caught in greatest numbers in Whipple run, one of the smaller tributaries of Young Woman's Creek. On Wednesday evoning,tho terrible storm which did so much damage in various parts of the country, passed over the camping ground. Two of the party, Messrs. Whip ple and J. V. Crane were in the mountain gorges,and were in imminent danger of be ing killed by filing trees. The peals of thunder were terrific, and the whole coun try was illuminated as with a great sheet of flame. The country presents, at any time a wild and romantic appearance; but when its mountain scenery is reflected in the flashing brilliancy of the storm, it becomes grand, picturesque,and sublime. Tao even ings were cool and pleasant though the ex ceptional presence of a huge rattlesnake, 4.k feet long, and carrying six rattles, lying along the tent "unknown, unnumbered and unsung" made camping out a little clangor ous. \Vial such harmless (?) intruders all around, with swarms of last year's mosqui tos buzzing about "singing and preying" and amid incessant New York snoring, sleep, however desirable, was not to be en joyed. The early mornings were spent in troutin,g for breakfast ; hot noon-day inci ted to shady bowers, and cool evening brought song, stories and mosquitos. The party dispersed on Thursday, well pleased with their delightful visit to the mountain wilds of Pennsylvania. The crops in the Northern section of the state are reported as being further advanced than in Lancaster county, the corn being in full tassel. In the mountain districts, and along the small creeks but little ground is tilled, the few people, who live there, de pending on fishing and the chase for a sub sistence. The excursionists aro lavish in their praises of the magnificent scenery and grandeur of the country. A trip there will care consumption and city ennui more ef factually than a trip to the sea side. BiouniquErluma, No. 5 N. Front St. is obliging and devoted to business. He buys for cash, and sells cheap to insure quick sales.

Some of the farmers of Hel lam township paid but $l, per day, while the established price in Canadocholy valley and iu townships adjoining the borough of York was $1.25 per day. In a few instances in Hellam township $1.25 per day was paid. The price to be paid harvest hands we un derstand has been fixed at $1.50 per day. BEAUTIFITL.—Mr. Lemuel Garber, of West llemplield, presented Mrs. S. S. Det wiler with a large Night Blooming Cereus bud, from a plant raised by himself. It was placed in a pitcher of water, and at 6 o'clock on Friday evening commenced unfolding. At 11 o'clock it was wide open, presenting- a flower of rare beauty and de licious perfume. Numbers of people called to see it, and expressed thf-ir pleasure at the sight of such a rare plant. Be fore the next morning it had closed, never to open again. It was frail, but beautiful —a contradiction of that nft quoted passage, "a thing of beauty is a joy forever." HEATY CONTRACT AWARDED,—The con tract for furnishing the material for weath er-boarding and roofing Columbia Bridge has been awarded to John B. Bachman, Esq, of this place. The sheathing, siding and bill timber will require between 800,- 000 and 900,000 feet of lumber, and about 1,- 500,000 shingles. The nails to be used in siding and roofing will reach about 24,000 lbs. Ile has also received the contract for white-washing the bridge. The whole job involves a responsibility of about $40,000. It was awarded by the Pennsylvania R t. through the Engineer's office at Altoona. The contract is a large one, and we are pleased that a Columbian has been the suc cessful bidder. CONCERT BY THE iEOLIANS.—It was sug gested some time ago that the jEolianst give a concert for the entertainment of our cit izens, as we have not had a concert by thorn, or indeed a strictly musical enter tainment of any kind for a long time. We are happy to announce that the Q,nintette will give one of their popular parlor concerts in Odd Fellows' Hall, Thursday, July 14th, oil which occasion a programme of light, pleasing selections will be offered. It is hardly necessary to mention the per formance of the club under the able in structions of Prof. Unseld. The singing of the club is equal to that of any similar or ganizations in the state, and is superior to that of many traveling troupes. Don't forget to go to the Hall on Thurs day, and pass a pleasant evening. [For the Si Y.] TUE Pro-Nlc ON WEDNESDAY.—The ex cursion of the Presbyterian Sabbath School to Litiz was a grand occasion for parents, teachers, pupils and all. Taking the morn ing train, they arrived at Litiz about 9 o' clock .ami repaired to the spacious grounds about the spring. The young ladies and gentleman had provided three or four ero - gnat sets.the boys had base ball implements and the smaller children indulged in all sorts of sports and pasttimes,known so well to childhood. The provisions for the " inner man" were more than abundant, and they took up of the fragments more than the scriptural twelve baskets full,to be distributed among the poor and needy. The tables were load ed with all the good things of the season, including pickled cauliflower,which seemed to be a favorite. The afternoon train brought another large representation from Colum bia, including Messrs Grabill and Yocum, the Herald's Republican nominees for the Legislature. The best of feelings prevailed and everybody was sociable,and happy, ev idently in the full enjoyment of the day's pleasures. The day's festivities were under the di rection of Dr. H. B.

The evening train carried the happy though somewhat tired excursionists, about three hundred in num ber, to Columbia without accident or any thing to mar the recollections of their Sab bath School ric-nic. Juxo. SCHOOL BOARD.—Owing to the press upon our local columns last week, we were com pelled to omit the proceedings of the School •Board, June 24th. The members present at the meeting were Messrs.

Rica _AND RARE.—A few weeks ego we gave notice that a gentleman living in Philadelphia, contemplated giving our readers a series of letters over the signa ture of "Musical." The first of the series of letters came, but was so personal, and so full of unpardonable mistakes, especially for a musical (?) critic, that we could not publish it. Since then our musical friend has tried to gain musical favor with several of our people by writing personal letters. To give our readers au idea of what a rare (?) treat of egotism and talent combined, they have lost by our want of proper apprecia tion of oar "musical" friend, wo give a few extracts from his letter, lie says: "On last Sunday my complimentary to Father S. came off. /had a choir of my own inviting, and led by myself, and Master Steve Gorman, a boy of 13 years of age. I played the Mass as far as the Credo, then I led and he played." A little further on be introduces himself a little more intensely. There is help and salvation for Columbia in store: "lain one of the best music readers in West Philadelphia, am in the Musical Council consisting of eight music renders, and at least a tolerable organist. Now if the folks in Columbia intend giving any thing on any grand occasion, just send me free passes for any amount of singers from one to 200 voices, and I will insure them on the spot for any music you may select." We congratulate the musical portion of Columbia, that they have only to secure two hundred passes over the Penna. R. R., and they will enjoy tine of the richest mu sical feasts this broad land can afford. We advise our "musical" Phildelpbian to postpone the trip with his 200 Performers until the dedication of the new Town Hall, and that he forego the courtesy of free passes just for the love of the art, and "the glory of the thing." A BABGAIN.—Ono of the very best pianos in this part of the country, is offered for sale at a great bargain., Apply at 211 Walnut street, Columbia. CrrEnr GROCERIES.—The spring trade has just closed, and the summer season opened out with a fine display of Groceries at Mrs. Turner's—fresh, good and cheap. Her Groceries are fresh—one of the most acceptable desiderata in the life of a housekeeper. Her stock is large and choice, and embraces everything in her line. NOT SURPRISING—The sudden conver sion of our copperhead neighbors to Free Trade. The following extract from the Lancaster Express, reproduced without comment, and consequently according to their own ruling to bo accepted as their sen timents, tolls tha story of their perfidy : "Gloomier.--The countenances of tho ' Protectionists' since their recent fizzle."

A HEAVY MOETGARE.—.A. mortgage given by the Pennsylvania Canal Company to Harman J.

A NOVEL Trtir.—On Wednesday evening of last week three gentlemen arrived at Wrightsville direct from Seneca Lake, N. Y., via the Susquehanna. They left Seneca Lake on Monday morning, coming the en tire distance on the Susquehanna river in skeleton hoats of the " Rob Roy" style.— The object of the trip is merely one of pleasure.

There are a great number of sidewalks throughout the city that should at once :be repaired ur laid anew. This tine weather is the time to do ft.—Lancaster lutelligencer. Pavements are wanted in many parts of our borough,— True Democrat. Every word of it true Brothers Young and Smith. If you want to escape the mud of York and the dust of Lancaster, come to Columbia. Our streets are as clean us your pavements. York needs thorough reconstruction. Its Finances are badly managed, and its streets are proverbially dirty, with mud two or three inches weep every rain, and clouds of dust in dry weather. If the La dies of York want "respectable footing" let theta visit Columbia. GRAND DISPLAY of FIRE Woßlts.—The display of fire works at the City Hall, New York, on the evening of the Fourth was decidedly grand and magnificent, and of a character never before seen in that city. Early in the evening thousands of people gathered at the Park and in the vicinity of the Hall to witness the much-talked of dis play, By S o'clock every available spot was taken up by the spectators, the win dows,roofs and porticos of the neighboring buildings being filled to their utmost capa city; the streets were so densely crowded with people wishing to get a glimpse of the grand sight, as to almost impede the pro gress of the street cars and coaches.

Precisely at 10 o'clock the great pyrotech nic event of the evening came off, which was on scaffolding put up for that purpose and occupied the whole front of the Hall. The multitude was filled with wonder as the neat and brilliant fiery design reveal ing the prominent outlines of the Father of his country in colors of green, yellow, red and purple; above his head was the American Eagle with shield, at his right the Goddess of Liberty, to his left an Amer ican Indian, and all surrounded with a circle of stars and flags of height and beau tiful colors. Washington shone resplendent for a short time, when he vanished and gave place to the seventh President of the 'United States—Andrew Jackson; the picture lasted a few seconds more and the scene was over.

The aggregate shipments foot up 3,010,900 feet against 1,200,800 feet for the preceding week—an in crease of 1,800,000 feet. Low water in the canal is still complained of by boatmen. The demand for all descriptions of lumber continues fair and prices remain firm and unchanged.—Bcpublican. FIRE.—The Store of Robert Eayes, on the corner of 4th and Cherry streets,caught fire on the 4th inst.,but was extinguished before any serious damage had been done. The supposition is that the fire originated from a fire cracker thrown through the transom of the door among a lot of brooms, which stood by the side of •t barrel of coal oil,tand caused the brooms to burn and then settiug fire to the barrel of oil. Had the fire not been checked in a few moments the barrel would have exploded,wbich might have led to very serious results. The loss is estima ted to be from $250, - to $3OO, on which there is however an insurance. The firemen were on the ground prompt ly, and prepared to render alt the service possible. It was fortunate for that portion of the town that the fire was extinguished before it had burned through the oil barrel. We sympathize with Mr. Hayes in the loss and inconvenience caused by the fire. Bob has repaired the damages, and is sell groceries as cheap as ever.

TILE GLORIOUS FOTIRTII.—Tbo Fourth was generally observed here in the usual shooting, and closing up of places of busi ness, the tobacco and cigar shops being open all day to supply the weed. 'Young America was out in full force, investing the usual amount of stamps in pyrotechnics Towards noon, their patrioti-m had been nearly expended and their money too, and the borough resumed its usual quiet. The Columbia Fire Company celebrated The day in Heise's woods, and had a good time, financially and otherwise. Most of our patriotic citizens spent the day at Litiz, where the Ringgold Band of Reading ' a Glee Club, and about 5000 peo ple. paid their annual pati bode tribute to beer and pretzels. About a dozen of our young ladies and ,o.entlemen spent the afternoon at Ephrata, anti the evening at Litiz: Messrs. Gulick Crane, Foy and Turner did their "hand somest." Mr. Vanhoesen, the polite conductor of the evening train south, brought 23 car loads of passengers to Lida from Reading and intermediate points. H. C. Lents, Esq., the gentlemanly and obliging fre;ght agent, was on duty assisting in the man agement of the trains and contributing to the safety and comfort or the Excursion ists. Everything passed otr without."' the slightest accident or delay. At Reading the mammoth menagerie of Gardner ct: Forepaug,h held forth, to curb dutch patriotism. The locomotives on the P. dc R. R. R. were handsomely decorated with our national emblem, wreaths, d.:o. At Reinhold's there was a display of bunt ing. The illumination at Litia was very brill iant, and was pronounced very "pirty." A salute of 3S guns was tired in the morn ing from the hill, in the rear of the spring. ON Tats WING.—A. correspondent of the Manheim Sentinel, writing from Lancaster over the doubtful signature of 'Sunset Cox' (Shoo Fly Cox) gives his view of Columbia in the following letter; the letter is not very elaborate, but we presume it is an ad venture. We know of a good many of the distinguished citizens of Lancaster, who now stand high (?) in Literary circles, who commenced their career, in no less humble a sphere than as correspondents, for the Sentinel. The write referred to says: On Monday morning last I left this city on a visit to Columbia and its environs, and, according to promise, will give your readers a short account of my travels. In the first place, I must premise that your home readers are too well acquainted with Columbia to need any elaborate de scription of the place from my hands. I will therefore, content myself with merely giving a few outlines of what I saw and heard. I visited Columbia for the first time in the year 1857, soon after the eleva tion of Jamas Buchanan to the Presidency. At that time I thought it rather an insig nificant place; but on this my second visit I found it considerably improved. Thir teen years ago there was only one newspa per in the place, and that a comparatively small sheet ; now it has two well conducted newspapers. There are several fine churches, a large number of hotels and stores, at which a thriving business appears to be carried on. But the lumber trade, I was told, is the main stay and support of the place. There are also a number of fur naces :tad rolling mills, doing a good share of bbsiness. I saw no end of the Fifteenth Amendment men and women during my —abort stay in Columbia, and their odorif erous perfante was a little too strong for my olfactory organ. But then they are brethren and sisters, as the Spy soberly re marks. Success to the borough of Colum bia. I also visited Marietta. Here there is but one newspaper—the Mariedian—entab - Ib3hed in 18.54, so it reads on its frontispiece. A gentleman who was reading the paper in one of the stores facetiously remarked that the paper had improved since the last few years specially in the heading de part merit. This is a good sign—for if the head is right, the other parts are likely to correspond also. Independent or the "paper with the big heading," there are several tine hotels and stores. and the pub lic buildings are a credit to the place. Ma rietta does also a tine trade in lumber. This place, like Columbia, has a goodly number of the dnrkey race, who chiefly subsist on what they make by the river side. Yesterday (Tuesday) I took a trip to the borough of Mount Joy. This is quite a fine little place.,but the people, as a general thing, don't appear to appreciate the bless ings of advertising. Mr. Hoffer, proprietor of the Herald, differs in this respect from many of the tradesmen of the place. Take up his paper, and you will find at his Vari ety-Storefor he is a variety man as well as an editor—that you can get anything you want—from a lady's night cup to an old gentleman's periwig. Another feature of the Herald is that it givesa "Diary" col umn every week, and the editor complai santly says it is written to do his readers good, as if any one who knows Mr. Hoffer would for a moment think ho would write anything to do his readers harm. But there are other attractions in Mt. Joy be sides the "Variety Store." There is the the Soldiers' Orphan School—a noble insti tution, and comers a great blessing on the poor orphans. The churches, several of them at least, are fine structures, and de serve more than a passing notice, but time will not permit, The hotels and stores are au ornament to time place ; but the trades people complain of dull times. My next article will be on "The Press and Politicians of Lancaster City." OUR LOCAL PAGE.— We present our local page aolid, this week again, which accounts for its typographical appearance.

TICE .FuZtort Democrat tells of a violent hail storm which passed over M'Counels burg, on Sunday, the 26th of June, doing considerable damage. It says about one third of the Court House roof was torn off and carried on either side of the building a distance of one hundred feet. The newly built walls of the M. E. Church—the gable ends especially—were so injured by the wind and driving rain as will render neces sary to tear clown and rebuild a portion of them. The damage done to the Court House from the rain is serious, the ceilings carpets, &c., being injured to the extent of at least $l,OOO. The loss sustained by the uprooting of trees, tearing of signs from their fastenings, breaking of glass over turning of fences and general demoraliza tion was annoying if nothing else, and af forded plenty of light work and a subject of conversation and debate for the balance of Sunday evening. CDT THIS Our AND KEEP IT.—Prank Dyre, a highly respectable and intelligent farmer of Galena, Kent county, Md., gives the following as a sure cure for the bite of a mad dog. As will be seen, he :has tested it with the most gratifying results: Elecampane is a plant well known to most persons, and is to be iound in many of our gardens. Immediately after being bit ten, take one and a half ounces of the root of the plant—the green root is perhaps pref erable, but the dried will answer, and may be found in our drug stores. and was used by me,—slice or bruise, put into a pint of fresh milk, boil down to a half pint, strain, and when cold drink it, fasting at least six hours afterward. The 'next morning, fast ing, repeat the dose prepared as the lust, and this will be sufficient. It is recom mended that after each dose nothing be eat en for at least six hours. I have a son who was bitten by a mad dog eighteen years ago, and four other children in the neighborhood were also bitten, they took the above close, and are alive and well to this day. And I have known a rumber of others who were bitten and applied the same remedy. It is supposed that the root contains a principle which, being taken up by the blood in its circulation, counteracts or neu tralizes the deadly effects of the virus of hydrophobia. I felt so much confidence in this simple remedy that I am willing you should give my name in connection with this state ment.
