Tuc .7Bomax' CONCERT.—We had the pleasure on Thursday evening of listening to the iEolian Quintette Club discoursing some of its choicest music to a very select and appreciative audience, assembled in Odd Fellows' Hall. "Music bath its charms" was fully verified by the effect it bud on Jabe's Boss. We had thought per haps that his drowsiness was dae to the ex cessive warm evening, but he said he knew better .than that—music always affected him in that way. The Xolians displayed very fine taste in their selections for a parlor concert, but in the rendering of their music there is room for improvement. The second tenor is rather strong ; the first tenor and alto a a little weak ; basso does well. Several of the selections and especially" The flag of our Union" were exquisitely rendered. On the whole the entertainment was the best of the kind we ever attended it , Columbia. The Zilelions have by their persistent practise attained a degree of proficiency rarely possessed by Amateur musicians. As an organization they merit the encour agement and support of Columbia. Prof. B. C. Unsaid, their musical Director, is en titled to the most flattering notice, for his musical labors in ocr midst. He amply deserves all the encouragement he receives. —One incident, and our notes are ended. When the _Motions were singing the chorus "Don't you go Tommy," Jabe's Boss being between a conscious and uncon scious state, thought the song was a reflec tion on some of his in door amusements and he and the "dorg" left; but after holding a consultation with his partner he was. fully convinced that they meant Tommy REPORTER.

ANOTEI ER SACRIFICE.-The Reading Times gives an account of a fatal accident from coal oil which occurred in that city on Sat urday. A girl about 16 years old was en deavoring to kindle a fire in the kitchen stove and poured a little oil on the wood and then set the can down on the stove. An instant explosion, sounding like a small cannon, hum rnediately occurred, the flames communicated to the girl's clothes and she was at once burning from head to foot. She rushed out and commenced roll ing trantically about the yard in order to extinguish the fire. The neighbors also lent their assistance, but they were fruit less. The poor girl lived about six hours in terrible agony.

In one coop there were 11 large chickens which had been weaned from the ben, and in the other was a brood of small chickens with their mother. The lightning first struck the coop containing the large chickens, killing; nine of them, and then passing along the surface of the ground to the other eoop, killing the hen, but not in the least injuring her chickens, which were then under her wings. The fluid passed thence to the ground, making two holes the size of a man's hand 14 inches deep.

For the especial benefit of those of our readers who believe in the re cuperating, effects of a bath, we present the following rules for bathing, which they will find worth regarding if they bathe for health. A bath should never be taken within at least one hour before, or within two hours after meals; a longer period be fore and after is better. The head and lace should be thoroughly bathed at the commencement of every bath to prevent the running of blood to the bead, and ward off unpleasant sensations. A bath should never be taken while the body is exhausted or too greatly fatigued by exer cise. Moderate exercise before and after bathing is beneficial. All general baths should be taken briskly, the body well rubbed and quickly dried, and warmth and reaction brought about. The observ ance of these rules will be found beneficial. Times. PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-- OD the afternoon of the Fourth, a young man by the name of John Sitnmous, a moulder in Symser's Foundry, in this borough, while attempt. ing to leap from a freight train at the cross roads below Ring's Mill,on the N. C. R. R , tell under the wheels of a car and had his right log so terrible crushed and mangled below the knee, that amputation became necessary. He was on his way, at the time, to the pic-nic in Miller's woods, and had got on the train in the neighborhood of Webet's Brewery, against the remonstran ces of a number of his friends who failed to persuade him to the contrary. The opera tion was performed about four inches below the knee, by Dr. Edward U. Pentz and Jacob Hay Jr., and be is now doing well. Mr. Simmons is a sober and industrious young man, still in his minority, and is highly esteemed by his friends and :legman tences in this borough. The report that he was under the influence of liquor at the time of the accident, needs confirmation.— T 7 Ue Democrat. WHY DON'T You L.WA.R: , .I A TRADN ? This question was propounded in our hear ing a few days since, to a young man who bad been for several months unsuccessfully seeking employment as a clerk or salesman in some of our leading houses. Complain ing of ill-luck, one of his friends who knew he had mechanical talent, but doubted whether he could make himself useful either as a clerk or salesman, put the in terrogatory to him which wo have placed as the caption of this article. The reply was that a trade was not so respectable us a mercantile situation. Under this delu sive idea, our stores are crowded with young men who have no capacity of busi ness cud who because of the fancied res pectability of doing nothing, waste away their minority upon salaries which cannot possibly liquidate their expenditures. Late, too late in life, they discover their error, and before they reach the ago of thirty; many of them look with envy upon the thrifty mechanic, whom, in the days of their boyhood, they were accustomed to deride. The false views of respectability which prevail in the soi distant fashionable society of the present day, have ruined thousands of young men. and will ruin thousands more.—Ex. A correspondent informs the Intelligences that a barn, the property of Mr. James Campbell, of Bart township, was totally de stroyed by fve on Saturday night, the oth inst. The loss is estimated at $:3,600, inch cling the contents. All his wheat about :300 bushels unthresbed, about 2.3 tons of bay, gears and various farming utensils were de stroyed. When first discovered the tire bad made too much progress to render any attempt to stop it of avail. The tire was the work of an incendiary, but no clue has been obtained of the guilty party. BASKET SURPRISE PARTY.—A party 91 our young friends, about twenty-live in number, spent last Tuesday evening, and a part of Wednesday morning at farmer Hoover's, West Herapfteld twp. Calico was the "reigning color" and we heard one youth remark that if the girls knew how sweet they all looked in calico, that article would be in greater demand. Tor the Spy.) What she Was and What she Is- Time was when the stereotyped phrase, "a fair young girl" meant the ideal of wo manhood; to us, at least, of home birth and breeding; it meant a. creature gener ous, capable and modest. It meant a girl who could be trusted alone if need be, be cause of the innate purity and dignity of her nature, but who was neither bold in hearing, nor masculine in mind; a girl who. when she married, would be her hus band's friend and companion, but never his rival; one who would consider their interests identical, and not hold him as. so much fair game for spoil; who would make his house his true home and place of rest, not a mere passage-place for vanity and ostentation to go through; a tender mother, a careful housekeeper, a judicious mistress. We prided ourselves on our women ; we thought we had the pick of creation in this fair young American girl of ours, and en vied no other men their own. This was in the olden time, when American girls wore content to be what God and nature had made them. Of late years we have changed the pat tern and have given to the world a race of women as utterly unlike the old insular ideal as if ho had created another nation altogether. The girl of to-day, and the fair young girl of the past have nothing in common save ancestry and their mother tongue; and oven this last the modern ver sion makes almost anew language,throug,h the copious addition it has received from the cuirent slang of the day. The girl of the period is a creature who dyes her hair and paints her face, as the first articles of her personal religion ; whose sole idea of life is plenty of fun and luxury; and whose dress is the object of such thought and intellect as she possesses. Tier main endeavor in this is to outvie her neighbors in the extravagance of ilishion. No matter whether with crinoline she sac rifices decency, or with trains she sacrifices cleanliness, no matter either, whether she makes herself a nuisance and an inconve nience to every one she meets. The girl of the period has done away with such moral mutlishuess as consideration for others, or regard for counsel and rebuke. It was all very well in old-fashioned times, when fathers and mothers had some authority and were treated with some respect, to be tutored and made to obey, but she is far too list and flourishing to be stopped in mid career by such slow old morals ; and as she dresses to please herself she noes not care if she displeases every one else. ..IsTothing is too extraordinary, and noth ing too exaggerated for her vitiated taste ; and things which in themselves if let alone, would be useful reforms, become monstros ities worse than those which they have dis placed so soon as she begins to manipulate and improve them. If a sensible fashion lifts the gown out of the mud, she raises her's midway to her knee. If the absurd structure ot wire and buckram once called a bonnet, is modified to something that protects the wearers face without putting out the eyes of her companion, she cuts her's clown to four straws and a rose bud, or a tag of lace and a bunch of glass beads. If there is a reaction against Macasser oil. and hair shiny and sticky is thought less nice than if kept clean and crisp, she dries and frizzes and sticks her's out on one end like certain savages in Africa, or lets it wander down her back like Madge Wild fire's, and thinks herself all the more beau tilul the nearer she approaches in look to a maniac or negress. • With purity of taste, she has lost also, what is far more precious, purity and del icacy of perception what the abandoned do in their frantic efforts to excite atten tion, she also does in imitation. She cannot be made to see that modesty of appearance, and virtue ought to be in separable, and that no good girl can afford to appear bad, under penalty of receiving the contempt awarded to the bad. The im tation of the demi—monde in dress leads to something in,manner and feeling not quite so pronounced perhaps, but far too like to be honorable to herself or satisfactory to ber friends. It leads to slang, bold talk and fastness; to uselessness at h, rue, dis satisfaction with the monotony of ordinary life,tind,borror of all useful work. Absorbed in her passion for dress, she forgets that she brushes too closely by those who pur chase luxury with vice to be easily sepa rated. Love in a cottage, that, seductive dream which used to vex the heart and disturb the calculations of prudent mothers, is now a m y t h of Past ago. The legal barter of herself for so much money, representing so much dash, so much luxury, so much pleasure—that is her idea of marriage : the only idea worth entertaining. For all seriousness of thought respecting the duties 01' married life she has not a trace. If her husband thinks he has married anything that is to belong to him— g faccns et platens v.xor pledged to make him happy, the sooner he wakes front his hallucination and understands, that ho simply married some one who will condescend to spend his money on herself; the less severe will be his disappointment. For it is only the old fashioned sort of girls that marry for love, and put the husband before the bankers. But the girl of the pe riod does not marry easily. Men are afraid of her ; and with reason. They may amuse themselves with her for an evening, but they do not take her readily for life. It is terribly significant of the present state of things when men aro free to write such things of the women of their own na tion. Every word of censure flung against them is two edged, and wounds those who condemn as much as those who are con demned ; for surely it need hardly be said that men hold nothinr , ' so dear as the honor of their women, and that no one living would willingly lower the repute of his mother or his sisters. But at whatever,cost 01 pained modesty, or shocked self love it may be, it cannot be too plainly told the modern America girl that the net result of her present manner of life is to assimulate her as nearly as possible to a class of women whom we must not call by their proper— or improper—name. And we are willing to believe that she has still some modesty of soul left hidden beneath all this effront ery of fashion, and that could she be made to see herself as others see her, she would mend her ways before to late. The marvel of the present fashion of life among women is how it holds its ground in spite of the disapprobation of men. It used to be an old time notion, that the sexes were made for each other, and that it was only natural for them to please each other. sun to set themselves out for that end. But the girl of the period does not please men, she pleases them as little as she elevates them; and how little she does that,the class of wo men she has taken as her models of itself testifies. All men whose opinion is worth having prefer the simple and genuine girl of the past, with her tender little ways and pretty bashful modesties, to this loud and ram pant modernization, betiounced and be frizzled, with her false red hair and painted skin, talking slang as glibly as a man, and by preference leading the conversation to doubtful subjects, She thinks she is pig nant and exciting when she thus makes herself the bad copy of a bad original ; and she will not see that though men laugh with her, they do not respect her, though they flirt with her they do not marry her. She will not believe she is not the kind of thing they want, and that she is acting against nature, and her own best interests when she disregards their advice and of fends their taste. We do not see how she makes out her ac counts, viewing her hfe from any side ; but a ll we can do is to wait patiently until the national madness has passed and our girls come back again to the old American ideal, once the most beautiful, the most modest, the most essentially womanly in the world. A FATHER. OUT OF Tow\'.—SeVeral of our young friends "sneaked" out of town on the fourth, and went to Mechanicsburg. The Journal of that place tells the rest of the story : A party of young friends, whom we joined, spent the day at "Sporting Green," and we venture to say that this charming and romantic spot was never visited by a more joyous lot of pleasure-seekers, or that the woods end stream never echoed to the sound of more genial-mirth and happiness than on this occasion. At au early hour the party returned, bearing with them rec ollections of the day, which shalt ever be treasured among their brightest and hap piest memories. MR. EDITOR :—I observe in your last number an extract from an article in Lip pincott's Afaggazine entitled "Errors of the Press," in which the an thor describes a "Versifier" as extinguished by the fault of a Printer's boy- mispelling the name of "Hecate" in a lino like this: Shall reign tho Hecate of the deepest Hell." There is certainly some resemblance in this line to a couplet by a well known English Author, when speakin gof an ill-tempered woman he says: "To make a Pandemonium where she dwells, And reign the Hecate of domestic hells." , It will be news to the admirers of the au thor of these lines, to hear of his extin• guishmeut by the mistake of a Printer's boy, but it was surely a more venial of fence for the boy to misspell a single word, and that an unusual ono, than for a prof fessional writer to misquote a striking passage from a standard .Author, and then to attribute his unmeaning travestie to a nameless Versifier, obnoxious to such ig noble extinction. S. W. M. COLUXBIA, July 4 15"10.• Meeting of the Republican County Committee. The Committee met in the Orphan's Court Room on Monday morning. with a nearly full representation.

REMARICABLE CASE.—A child of J. L. Evans, of Druntore township, near Me chanic's Grove, 4 or 5 years of age, has been ill for the past six months. The case baf fled the skill of the Physicians. They were convinced that the system of the child was poisoned, but could not account for its skin becoming blotched with sores. On last Tuesday or Wednesday, the child gagged and made a desperate effort to vomit, when to a great alarm of the attend ant person a suake's head appeared out of the child's mouth, and was drawn out by her. The snake was dead, and about eight inches long and as thick as the small lin ger of a grown person. The child has since died. A Frogabulum, or the Professor's Soliloquy. ——o— BY YE BARD OF COLUMBIA. Five friends stroll'd out to take a walk With farmer S. and neighbor John, They merely meant to have a talk, A little learning, and some fun. Three "swelled" as grave professors; While seated on a log The others, youthful tyros, Heard them thus discuss the frog. For the frog's a Jolly fellow, And the butt of many a joke : And as they gazed admiringly Mat, _erudite and wise, thus spoke. "1 list zurbls heart, and ascending aorta, Their volumes of valvular harmony pour, And mysoul from the muscular music has caught , New life 'mid its dry anatomical lore. 0 rare is the sound, when his ventricles throb In a systolic symphony, measured and slow, While the auricles answered:with rythrnical sob, As they murmured amelody wondrously low. Oh! thy cornea, Frog, has the radiant light Of the sparkle that laughs In the Icicle's sheen, And thy crystalline lens like a diamond bright, Through the quivering frame of thine iris is seen . And thy retlna,spreadlng Its lurstre of pearl Like the far away nebula), distantly gleams, From a vault,of black cellular tissue that hurl From their hexagon angles, the silvery beams Ali! tile flash of those orbs is enslaving me stil As they role 'neaUt the palpebrle, dimly trans I ucent, Obeying in silence the magical will Of tile oculo-motar—pathetic, abduccnt. O sweet is thy voice as it sighingly wells From thy daintily quivering choritie vacates; Or rings in clear tones through the echoing cells Of the antrum, the ethuoid, and sines pan tales. —'rue.i-tnderrt's gone in silent thought Mat, watching o'er his prizes, (Much better raised, titan foreign bought,) Again soliloquizes: Of all the things that live In woodland marsh or bog, That creep the ground or Ily the air, The funniest Is the frog— The frog, the seientitickest Of nature's handy work— The frog, that neither walks nor runs, But goes it with a Jerk, With pants and coat of bottle-green, And yellow fancy vest, He plunges into mud and Int re— All in his Sunday best, When he sits down lie's standing, up, As Paddy O'Rlinn, once said, And, for convenience sake lie wears Ills eyes on top his head. You see him sitting on a log, Above the nasty deep, You feel Inclined to say, old chap, Just " look before you leap :" You raise your cane to hit him On his ugly-looking mug ; But ore you get it half way up, Adown he goes bs kerchug,." He keeps about Ills native pond, And ne'er goes on a spree, Nal . gets " how come you so," for a Cold-water chap is he ; For earthly cares to get a drink, He's not the silly fool ; But, when they come, he gives A jump And drowns 'ern in a pool: Farewell says blat, by this and that! No inore a pollywoggle, You've sadly changed, from me estranged— Sic transit gloria froggie. To Gettysburg. A correspondent of the Jalelligenccr thus describes a trip by rail to Gettysburg via. Columbia and York. In view of the dan gerous delays, it is not to be wondered that so few people visit Gettysburg: "Thinking some account of the trip of the Zeta Chapter of Chi Phi, from Lancas ter to Gettysburg, might be interesting to many of your readers, I propose to give a short account of the same.—The trip from Lancaster to Gettysburg might have been improved in several respects. The route is 'slow" to a proverb ; whether 'pvo ro gard the number of times we change cars;; the length of time on the route ; the excel lent accommodations aboard the Wrights ville train, or the raspberry express on the line from Hanover Junction to Gettysburg. The last is a famous railroad. On our jour ney up, thirty_miles was accomplished in three hours.—Our engine, I believe, stop ped once to take wood, twice to take water, and three or four times to take breath ; and a number of times to let some of our boys carry on a handkerchief ilirtation with some of the fair sex of York county. At last the engineer seemed to become alarmed when within ab: or eight miles of our destination, and run a little faster, probably for fear of being caught in the rain, so that we reached Gettysburg some what earlier in the evening, Ulan could have been expected bad their been no storm brewing. On reaching Gettysburg we were received by a large delegation and escorted to the hotel. After partaking of an excellent supper, we then were ready for action. While gazing, upon the beauti ful and renowned town of Gettysburg, who should come along but oar genial young friend and brother. C.W. Krise, at present a medical student in Gettysburg. Ho vol unteered to show us the sights, :tad we were his "to command." Under his guid ance we then proceeded to Cemetery Hill, drat spot sacred above all others on the greatest battle field of the war, and after a complete discussion of the battle, we wended our way towards town, scat tering in every direction, some in tee cream saloons, and others in spring houses where they had drank of that delicious Katylasine water. Being refreshed some what, we then sought natures sweet re storer with "mess conscia rectia." The diathrhour found us again assembled, bat sad to relate, several of our number were found seriously affected by the Kalyta eine water. Niue o'clock, A. M., found all gathered at the Hull to witness the com mencement day of our Alma Muter. It was so crowded that most were compelled to take standing seats. After again reviewing some of the scenes which have rendered Gettysburg historical, at 2 P. M. we left for York as gay a party of festive youths us ever woke the echoes of the York county bills, For with the Doctors Pill Lox ever present, straight countenances were impossible, and 1 .ud and merry were the shouts that greeted its frequent production. After passing the night at York, a night ever to be re membered by the two who were lured to flirtation heavy, by the lady of slightly Al- Haan descent, we arrived at Lancaster safe and sound, but tired and weary, yet still glad to have met our brethren, and hoping oft again to have the seine pleasu.e. Unusual Thunder Storm. DAtirEll.%, Penna„ July s.—This town is situated on the Susquehanna River, eight miles above Harrisburg, at the foot of a mountain 100 feet high, and is noted for tne number and violence of the storms that fall upon it. Being walled in with mountains, storms seem to center at the gorge which is one belt mile in width.—Three distinct storths seen{ to have converged at this point and met on the night of June 27. Masses of the electric fluid appeared to pour forth from the dark clouds, lighting up the whole valley for miles, while the terrific thunder shook the very mountains. The atmos phere was surcharged with electricity that flashed along the telegraph wires and rail road track like sparks from red-hot iron under the blows of the hammer. Only one person, a little girl, was killed ; several houses were struck, and a barn received five distinct strokes within 20 minutes, but, be ing provided with a lightning-rod, escaped uninjured. The lightning struck into the mountain hundreds of times.—Large rocks, displaced by the force of the shocks and the heavy rain, came tearing down the moun tain side with loud noise, and added to the general alarm which was felt in the village. The storm lasted about two hours. SUBTERRANEAN CAVE.—Prof. F. D. Cope Secretary of the Academy of Science, of Philadelphia, was last week the guest of Mr. Jacob Stauffer, of this city, and in com pany with that gentleman paid a visit to the Sul4terraneart Cavern in Mertic twp. They succeeded in securing a salamander, differing in appearance from those found to open streams. The bones of horses, cat tle, rabbits and other animals wore also found in the catve.—Erpress. I.IOIV IS PHIS FOR /11Cill?"—This ques tion can be heard on the street every day, but the question now is, •• How is this for low?" when people go to Itachenbehner's Clothing Hall and are informed of the low prices ot Summer Clothing. It you want the latest, cheapest and best, you cannot go wrong at that establishment. At the White Horse bridge, on Saturday night last, while two young ladies, accom panied by u gentletnun, were on the bridle, the ladies accidentally tramped on a loose board and were thrown into the creek. The water not being very deep, they got off with a good ducking. Go to 13achenbeirner's and get cheap Clothing. OUR poem on the first page is worthy of careful study. It is one of Gunnison's best. .13Astrxi Pre- Nrc.—The E. E. Lutheran Sunday School expect to spend Wednes day the 20th inst. at Litiz. A cordial invi tation is extended to all to accompany the school. A. pleasant, social time is antici pated. Cars leave promptly at 8:15, A. M. Tickets can be procured at Shreiner's or May Sc Erwin's store. COLLIMBIANS AT LITIZ.—At the recent en tertainment of the young ladies' school at Litiz, held in Linden Hall, June 30th., two young ladies from Columbia participated in the exercises. Misses. Sallie Heise and Hattie Mann took. prominent parts in the trio, " Les Vivandiores," executing it with feeling and taste; Miss Hattie Mann also played the piano for a piano and violincel to duett. These young ladles acquitted themselves very creditably. COUZ:CTL.—A special meeting of Council was held on Saturday evening last to con sider the proposals for building the new Town Hall, Proposals were received from ten differ ent parties, when after considerable dis cussion the following resolution offered by Mr. Patton, was adopted : Reso/vcd, That the proposals for building the new Town Hall be referred to the Building Committee and the Architect, Mr. Sloan. to ascertain what reduction can be made in the cost of the building by dispens ing with Venamm county blue stone and such other modilicat ions as they may deem practicable, and report to Council. Vora or• TEUVSKS.—M the stated meet ing of the Vigilant Steam Fire Engine Com- I-any, held on the evening of the Ist inst. the following resolutions were unani mously adopted Resolved, That the thanks of the Vigi lant Steam Fire Engine Company, No. 2, he, and are hereby tendered to Mrs. Gen. Welsh, President and the ladies, generally, who assisted this company in holding their late fair, and also to the citizens of Colom bia who so liberally contributed to the success of the said fair. Resolved, That the thanks of the 'Vigi lant Steam Fire Engine Company, No. 2, of Columbia, be, and they aro hereby ten dered Tyndale, Mitchell & Wolf, china and glassware dealers, of Philada., for the beautiful china tea set, presented by them to the fair lately held by this company. Resolved, That these resolutions be pub lished in the borough papers. LI33II2ERING ITEMS.—Froth the Lock Ha van Republican we glean the following : The shipments by canal and by P. d•, E. Railroad' as compiled from the books of the different offices of the companies, from June 27th to July 9th—two weeks—show that an aggregate of 4,495,700 feet of rough and planed lumber left this city since the 27th ult. Twenty-three of the fifty-eight boats cleared last week, showing that the greater bulk of the shipments were made for the week ending the 2nd inst. The canal is rep ,rted in good condition for boating, and there is nothing to prevent shipments being made with dispatch from this point to any of the Eastern cities. Boats, however, are riot much sought after by our lumbermen, which indicates that we may look for light shipments the remainder of the summer season—as very little seasoned lumber yet remains in our yards. Messrs. Thomas & Mason have shipped live boat loads of lumber, amounting in the aggregate 375,01/0 feet. Eight boat loads of lumber have been shipped to Columbia. STATE TEACII Ens AssocramoN.—We learn from the School Journal that the pro gramme for the meeting of the State Teach ers' Association in Lancaster on the 9th,loth and 11th of nest month (August) has been agreed upon. The sessions of the Associa tion will be held in the Court House, and promise to be of unusual interest, not only co teachers bat to the public at large. On Tuesday morning, August 9th, ad dresses of welcome will be delivered by David Evans,Esq., Superintendent of Lan caster county,and Col. Wm. L. Bear, chair man of the Local Committee, which will be appropriately responded to by the As sociation ; the Inaugural address by the President, A. S. Jones, of Erie. will be de ity• red in the afternoon. Interesting pa pers on educational topics will be read dur ing the evening session. On WedLesday reports will be read, and discussions had ; in the evening an ad dress on "Austrian Schools" will be deliv ered by Wm. C. Cattell, D. D., Pres't of Lafayette College. Thursday will be occupied by the read ing of essays, discussions, and the hearing of the report of the Executive and other Committees. During the evening session there will be short addresses by represen tative men in the various departments or educational labor. A RAftx Dis COVEIIY.—A Mountain of Iron Ore within our Immediate Grasp. About two or three weeks since a rare discovery of iron ore was made by Mr. J. W. Devling, of Flemington, on a tract of mountain land belonging to him situated about 11 miles from this city, ou the Bald Eagle Moun tain. The vein thus so happily discovered is tour feet four inciter in thickness, and it is believed to be exhaustless in extent. Specimens of the ore were sent to Danville for the purpose of ascertaining its value, and we hear that good judges pronounce it of the very best quality—the most valuable yet discovered in this section of Pennsylva nia, and will yield 50 per cent. of iron. This discovery having been pretty. gener- ally known in this community, the propo sition to erect a furnace and rolling mill in our vicinity has been discussed with con siderable spirit. The cost or such establish ments as would be required to commence with, it is estimated, would be_about $lOO,- 000—one-half of which sum, we are reliably informed, will be subscribed by an iron company or Erie, in the event of the other half being subscribed bv the citizens or Lock Haven. If this be true, we certainly ought not to hesitate, but raise the amount as soon as the existence or it sufficient quan tity of ore to justify it can be satisfactorily ascertained. A manufacturing establishment of this character in our midst, it is estitnated, would give - employment to between 500 and 600 men—or more than all the saw-mills to gether within a circle 01 ten miles around us employ, a filet which should appeal with irresistible force to the liberal public spirit of our citizens in behalf of the proposed measure.—Loeh: Haven Republican. PUBLIC li,A' Et Iron sn FOR COLUMBIA. The attention which the laws of hygiene are receiving from communities, cities, towns, and individuals, proves that the people aro waking up to the necessity of providing some protection against disease, fevers, ,Szci. The question of providing public baths,not free ones, is important, and is entitled to earnest consideration, both as an attribute of good health, and as an investment. There are no public baths in Columbia, neither in Hotels or shaving saloons. True, we have the river here, but people do not always have the time or inclination to walk half a mile, to get to some unfrequented spot, and bathe in the broiling sun. Were we provided with a public bathing house— a cellar, for instance, fitted up for that pur pose—to which all persons of respectability could have access upon the payment of fif teen or twenty cents, it would not only in crease our comfort but improve health as well. The following article from the Cha in bersburg Repository reflects our sentiments on this subject so well, that we give it en tire. The local in last week's Repository on the necessity of a public bath-house, in connec tion with the hot weather since then, has attracted some attention. An old citizen informs us that on this subject Chambers burg is far behind the Chain bersburg of fif ty years ago, that then there were both a public bath-house and water works here. If that be so, we hope to hear no more about our respected daddies being a lot of old fogies.--They were at least up to the times; we are hopelessly behind them. Think of it. In 1820 Cbambersburg had water works, a bath-house and a tire en gine. In 1870 she has neither water works nor bath-house, and no protection against fire except a rattling, rickety machine which could not throw water half way to the roof of any one of the majority of houses on Front street. In the matter of fire en gines, our lack of appliances to put out fires may be the result of supreme indifference, or supreme reliance in Providence, we think the former. But about the bath-house. Fifty years ago Mr. Davis bad one somewhere along the spring for the public use. It had several apartments so as to accommodate both men and women, and thousands made use of it during the summer months. A small price was charged each bather to cover expenses. :Now, an expenditure of tive hundred dol lars would be enough to give us public baths, and the public spirited individual who would build one could get his money back the same season. Let hint try it once, and oiler to sell season tickets reasonably. Who shall it be? Will not some enterprising citizen take hold of this matter, and provide such ac commodations. As an investment it will pay. It will conduce to our health and com fort, and will be of lasting benefit, as well as value to Columbia. TriE Vigilant Fire Company will hold a grand picnic on Big Island on Saturday the 13th of August. Just the place for a socia ble picnic. Considerable preparations are already being made and a good time is an ticipated. THE Columbia SPY boasts that the streets of that Democratic borough are cleaner than the foot walks of Radical ruled Lan caster.—lntellifiencer. Bro. Smith, don't. Our streets were clean many years before we dreamed of such a calamity as a democratic government for Columbia, or before Lancaster ever antici pated the millenial, bliss and quiet which must result from a Radical administration of her municipal government.
