ttc., ,St,n. Lovers of the Terpsychorean
pleasures will therefore take notice. Orders
about conduct on the Island strict. The
Band wants to raise a small fund, and
should be patronized accordingly. Their
music is very tine and their organization a
credit to the town.
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."
Tir.: SPOTS OS TITS SuN.—We are indebt
ed to Prof. James A. McClune, of the Cen
tral High School Plailada. for the following
interesting astronomical information:
During the last few weeks the spots on
the sun have been rapidly increasing, both
iu number and magnitude. 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.

VEnY Low WAGES.—The Wrightsville
Star says, the price paid hands for hay
makitur bus varied in different sections of
the county. 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. Rssick, the Superinten
dent, assisted by Dr. Armor, J. C. Pfabler,
J. A. Meyeirs, Ches. H. ,Pfahler ' Rev. B. rl.

Jas. Meyers, S. Schwartz, S. Rumple and
M. M. Strickler. J. L. Pinkerton, Dr. J. C.
Lineaweaver, with the lady niembers of the
school.
The day passed rapidly, and I need not
add, very pleasantly. 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

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."

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

—York Trier Democrat.

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

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. The
display of rockets. Roman candles. fiery
showers of all the colors of the rainbow and
other costly works lasted over two hours.
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.

LUMBERING ITEMS FROM Efo:stm AND
Anneal:P.—The lumber shipments last week
went along briskly—forty boats and thirty
one car loads of rough and platted lumber
having cleared for the East. 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.

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."

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.
