This man can not even refer to our relig ious efforts at Landisville without casting upon them the foul stigma of politics. lie can not even speak of the sanitary or culi nary arrangements of the camp without as sociating it with " the classic precincts of Tow Hill."

EDITOR:—Your readers have been watching with a little interest, and consid erable amusement, the exploits, literary, perambulatory and gesticulative, of your correspondent, "H. J. H.." or Howard the Smart, as the York correspondent calls him. It is seldom that a dignified community, like ours, will pay any more than passing attention to such bundles of egotism, as are contained in this "disagreeable mortal," but a gross insult to the Vigilant Fire Co. contained in his last "Rambles around Co lumbia," calls for the prompt vindication of the company. " Howard," as he is generally, though wo can't say very favorably known, starts out by saying: "A new Engine House on Second street does credit to the Vigilant, and shows signs of being, when completed, a tolerable hand some and creditable structure, both to the Company and builders." The Vigilant boys of course attach no further importance to this tolerable com pliment of " Howard's" than to repudiate both him and the article in question. It is not very encouraging, wo confess, after laboring for several years to raise a fund for the erections of a hose house ; after de voting all the company's energies to this one project ; after meeting with most support both from the press and people, to have a magnificent building, second to none outside of the largest cities, pronounc ed a tolerable handsome structure. The cif i%ens of Columbia will join me in plac ing, the building in the front rank of ar chitectural handy and proportion. To say it is tolerable, means that it is "fit to be tolerated," that its erection can be endured cte. Then after paying this tolerable com pliment, " Howard, the smart," winds up by learnedly informing this benighted (?) community, that fire companies were "or- iginally intended and created for the sub jugation" of fire!! Who ever heard of such a thing,before. Is there anything new under the sun? Tell it not in Gath. Suffice it to say, that however tole> able "Howard's" effusions may be to the people at large, let him remember, that should he ever choose to pay us a visit, we will try to make it to/ciabte hot for him.

[Special dispatch to the Spr.] Puit.a.DF,LrittA, Aug. sth, 1 o'clock P. :NI A. despatch from Paris says: It is uno 111 cially reported here that the French forces have taken Sarr Louis :ater a great battle IMPORTANT DECISION,—In the district court of the United States, at Williamsport, Judge McCandless presiding, the case of the United States vs. Charles 5111101155, came up for decision. A. market gardner cultivating his own lands, who stands with his wagon on the market place and sells the products of his farm on regular market days, is liable to the United States special tax as a produce broker. - - - In this case an indictment was found against defendant for doing business as a produce broker without paying special. tax. The evidence showed that Chas. Simons owned a piece of laud in the vicinity of the city, on which ho raised vegetables, which he disposed of on rogular market days, in the market in the city of Williamsport. The defence was that as a farmer he had the right to dispose of his own produce without payment of any tax. Tho district attorney argued, that there were but two ways in which ho could dispose of his pro duce without paying tax—one by selling it at the place of production, and the other by hawking it in the manner of a pedlor, that when he entered the market place regularly and competed with other dealers who were compelled to pay tax, ho made himself equally liable. We excerpt the following extracts from the opinion of Judge McCandless, as re ported in the Legal Intelligeneer of July 29th : Simons is indicted for carrying on the business of a produce broker without hay ing paid the special tax. Nothing crimi nal, in the ordinary sense of the term, is at tributed to him. The proceedings against him is designed as a test rieze, to ascertain whether in the exercise of his occupatioa of a market gardner he is liable to its pay ment. I=ISI We think he is. The evidence shows that he is the owner of forty acres of , gror nd on Lycoming creek, in the vicinity of this city, which he cultivates in raising vegeta ble., ; that, except in December and .Janu ary, he attends the market of Williains port, with his horses and wagon, backs tip at the curb stone at different points on Market and Third streets, elects a tempo rary stand at the tail of his wagon, and there, twice a week, on the days fixed by an ordinance of the city as market days, sells the products of his garden. It has been contended with much ability, that he does not come within the category of produce broker. At onetime in the con sideration of this case I was inclined to concur with the learned counsel for the de- fence, and designed to request a further ar gument from the able district attorney, but ant now clear that the defence is not tenable. If the question depended upon the com mon acceptation of tho word " broker," the argument for the defendant would be sound, for a broker is a middle man, an in tervener between the buyer and seller, a factor or agent who contracts for the one or the other. We have exchange brok,rs, stock brokers,pawn brokers and insurance brokers, who negotiate between vendor and vendee, and as Simons sells his own products, he could not very well be called a broker. But Congress has not left it to the courts to define what the word broker means. They have given us a legislative definition by which we are bound. In section 79 of the Act of .1860 they say what a"produce broker" is a person "whose occupation it is to boy or sell agricultural or farm products." if lie bays or sells, whether he does it for himself or another. he is to be "iegarded." in the language of the act, as a "produce broker." A better term, but all refinement upon the word is at an end in the face of this definition. It was doubtless the design to exempt, as far as practicable, the agricultural portion of the community from burdensome taxation. but as almost every person and everything is necessarily subject to taxation there was no good reason why the producer, who brings his articles to market, and comes in competition with merchants, or those who buy and sell, should be so highly favored. If he sells his larm produce he pays noth ing, but if he acts in the capacity of a mer chant or dealer, be must pay a tax upon that occupation. That is but just to his mel low-taxpayers, and he ought not •to com plain of the government. But there is still another why I consider this the true construction of the statue. Partners and gardeners ate exempt from taxation as pedlers ; that is, they may go from house to house in town or country and sell their produce without paying a special tax. They are also exempt as " manufac turers or producers." Here the maxim " expressio II7LCILS 13St CXCIKSLO aiterias" ap plies. If Congress intended that they should not be included in the class of produce bro kers they would have said so. If they pur sue auy other occupation than that of tilling the soil, and selling directly from their farms or gardens, they incur the liability of the addittenal employment, and 1 think properly so. As this is a case of the first impression, no published () Pinion of my brethren of the bench having yet appeared ; as it involves large interest.; to both the government and the people, I have given to it careful con sideration, and the inure I reflect upon it E=fir=llMlU=ll Ea Your verdict should be against tho defend ant. The jury immediately returned a verdict of "guilty in manner and form, d: e," where upon the defendant was sentenced to pay line of $lO.OO, the special tax of two year,. $'211.00 and the co,sts. MASONIC ENCAMPMENT.—Our 'Masonic friends are considerably excited over a pros pective encampment to be held at " Wild Cat Falls," on the Susquehanna river, in York county, about one mile above Ma rietta, on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the 19th, 20th, '2lst and 22nd inst. The encampment, we understand is to be held under the immediate auspices of the Lodges at York, Marietta and Columbia. A l.u•ge number of the prominent Masons from all parts of the state have been invit ed, and from present indications, it prom ises to be the largest assembly of the kind, ever held in the state. As none but Master Masons are invited, it will therefore be ex clusively Masonic. The programme is not yet fully made out; there will be, however, a sermon by one of the Grand Chaplains on Sunday morning. By order of Gov. W. Geary, the state department will fur nish tents and other camp equip•igo for the encampment. A very efficient Com mittee has been appointed, and from the character of the gentlemen composing it, we have no doubt it will be a complete success. WAR.—There was a serious riot in Ma- rietla on Monday night, caused by eight or ten white democrats drinking too freely and breaking open a beer saloon kept by Jacob Bishel. Alter this melee the rowdies (not colored) went down town and got up a reg ular saurkrout warfare, about thirty or for ty participating. Several men were se riously injured, one or two shot, and an other, Bishel so badly hurt, that his recov ery is doubted. Thera was a light in Wrightsville the same time, in o•lach several were danger ously wounded. These fellows imagine they are alt eltti er Frenchmen or Prus sians.

Cimmor, says 'William Smith of the university of London, is the Hebrew word for Asinus, and denotes the male domestic ass. That th;s is an unclean animal, we are assured by the law of Moses, as well its by the manner in which "Cotiorus" seems to revel In the dirt and mire of his own ore- allot]. This Pennsylvania ass, ("Codorus") now so conspicuously on exhibition in Co lumbia, and occasionally in the surround ing villages, boroughs and cities, is not the true Onager or wild ass of Syria, Messopo tamia and. Arabia, but of a domesticated breed, the hair of which,hecause of this do mestication, has grown to a longer extent and of an entirely different shade from the original wild animal of those countries. - - - _ iSi'aturalists distinguish the different spe cies of the animal by peculiar marks, some of which are transverse streaks of black across the back and shoulders, but this "Co dom.," of Columbia is known by its pecu liar color and length of hair, as well as the remarkable extent of its ears,oecasionedby the thorough domestication through which it has undergone. There is no uncertainty as to the origin of this long-eared sorrel an imal. Lancaster county has grazed it too long , for the good folks now to mistake its ideit thy. True to its nature while iu a wild state this domesticated animal is fond of bitter food and water—Lager Beer being a favor ite beverage. Its infra-orbital foramen of the skull is situated much lower than that of any other species, and hence its remark able ability for harsh and loud braying, a specimen of which Las been reported through the "Soy" of the 30th of July,under the head of "The Bummer." The XXXIX chapter of Job tells as that the wild ass had a `•barren land" for its dwelling place, but this (hauler of Colum bia can boast of a fairer habitation and a more fruitful dwelling-place. It is not a hybrid, but a full-grown, long-eared, sorrel domesticated animal of the genuine ./'quay Asinus species, long a grazor around the villages, boroughs and cities of Lancaster, York and Cumberland counties of the state of Pennsylvania, but never before placed upon so public an exhibition. It is very obstinate, and has much less sense limn most of its species, as will be seen by its brayin— e through the columns of the `• Syv" us well as upon the highways and byways of the Borough of its habitation. It would nut be amiss for Barnum or Dan itico to know 01 this talking, braying ani mal as it would be a valuable acquisition to their now extensive menageries.

By order of President. J. Roth The Cotton 'Mather MMoa< Ma i Encron: —ln your issue of July _3rd. you published a letter which has been scat tered pretty widely through the Mid- die and Eastern states, exciting not a little the Quakers of Pennsylvania, and furnishing to many persons who love the employment, an opportunity of creating a now tide of enmity against the people of New England. Tho correspondent who si nt you the letter sho trod ill his letter con clusively that he was glad of an opportu nity to cry down the Puritans. Besides, if the jud,ginent of the Editor of the New York Independent is worth anything:, your cor respondent has suffered his 7.0111 to get the better of his intellect. lie did not stop for a moment to question the authenticity of the document. It revealed the Puritan character as he had conceived it, and that was sufficient. That your readers may have an opportunity of becoming morcper fectly acquainted with the letter and so much of its history as has been made known, let me cab their attention to a portion of an article relating thereto which appLared in the Independent of June 2.3 rd. They can then judge how much Cotton Mather and the Puritans generally deserve the I ate thrust made at them : This ridiculous forgery first saw - the light in the Easton (Pa.) Argus, whose thousand eyes must have winked very hard when it accepted it. Easton, if we mistake not, is the seat of Lafayette College, a Presbyte rian institution, boasting of sonic professors of eminence. We trust that some of these learned men have exposed the internal evi donee which the letter contains of its fraud ulent origin, though their strictures have not met our eyes. It seems, according to the story of the A ryas, that" Mr. Judi:ins, the librarian of the I ass. Historical Society, in overhauling a chest of old papers depos ited by the• late Robert Greenleaf, of Mal den," discovered this precious letter. It unluckily happens that " Mr..lntikins" is librarian or member of the Historical Society, and no such person as" the late Ito her: Creel teal'' :vas ever heard of in Molded. As the letter is not long. and as it may amuse sneh of our readers as have not seen it, we will give It the farther ben efit 01 our circulation : " There bre now it sea a shippe (for our frtrial Jlr. Esaias Ho)crott of London did advise me by the last packet that it woldo sail some t hue in August) called ye 'Wel come, R. Greenaway, master, which has aboard an hundred or more of ye heretics and nialignants called Quakers with W. Penne who is ye Chief Seampe at yo betide of them. Ye General Court has according gely given secret orders to Master :Malachi Iluxett of Pye brig ropcsso to waylay° ye said Welconie slylie as near ye coast of Coil de as may be, and make captive ye said Penne and Ids ungrallie CrONVO, so that ye Lord nifty be gloriti( - A and not mocked on 3 - e soil of this now count rie with ye heathen worshippo of these people. Much spoyle may be made by selling ye whole lotte to Barbadoes, where slaves fetch goode price in rinnme and sugar, and shall not only do ye Lord great servic? by Punishing Ulu wicked, but we shall make great gayne for ids ministers and people. Master lEux ett feels hopeful, and I will set down the news he I».ings when his shippe cotnes back. " Yours in ye bowells of Christ." CoTros M.vritlat. That many of the excellent Quakers should he deceived by this impudent fab rication is not surprising, as not many of diem probably are experts in the usages and orthography of the English tongue of two centuries ago ;lilt the Easton Professors, and even the Easton editor, should have known enough of both to detect the for gery. The one word " Scampe" is enough of itself to prove the letter an invention of today. The word is a modern vulgarism, and was not known for a century after Cot ton Mather's death. The spelling is pre posterously unlike the spelling of two hun dred years two. William Penn's ninon was often—commonly, indeed—spelt " Pen ;" but we doubt 'whether it can he found any where" Penne," as in the letter. The pre tended indorsement—" ye scheme to bagel) Penne"—contradicts its authenticity. The word "scheme" was not used in the 17111 century in the sense of it plan or proposi tion, as now; inn 0111S' astronomically, or rather astroto , zicalty, as denoting the posi tion of the stars at a certain time. And the slang metaphor. " to bag" a person or thing taken from shooting game, is of a recent date. The verb was used sometimes liter ally, as "to bag hops;" but never meta phorically and ludicrously, as is clone now. We might multiply examples of internal evidences of the forgery; but these are enough. Then Cotton Mather, in Septent her, Itis2, was a lad of nineteen, studying for the ministry, and not likely to have a mercantile correspondent in London. Moreover, the General Court of Mass. had no public vessel to send on such an errand. And, if it had, and Martin Malachi Jinx ett had obeyed its instruction, it could not have saved him coin being carried to Lon don and hanged at the yard-arm for piracy - . t is quite likely that the author of this hoax has been surprised at its success and the use made or it. I 6 is p0,,,,ib1e that he had no malicious intent in what he did. But, as it has actually had a mischievous effect, and beet: used as means of embitter ing one portion of the country against the other, nail of disturbing the equanimity of a most worthy and valOnhio volclass 01 chi- Y;,?no, we hold that he should honestly ac knowledge the hoax, with such excuse or palliation as he can allege. If he be slow to come lin•ward, the Easton Argus should give up his mune to clear its own skirts of a voluntary imnplicity in the cheat. And, eortarnly, every newspaper that has given circulation to the calumny - should tell its r e amers of tho contradiction.

COLUMBIA, Aug. and, 1S7() .Tt 'l' li e Campaign [Ftsr I.: RA T. 1., .I.llg, 1 IS7O Bar.Loox ASCESsION.—We noticed in our last number that Dr. James A. Dale would make an ascension among the clouds from Centre Square in this borough, on Satnrday the fiOth ult. The balloon used on this occa sion belonged to :Mr. Charles Wise, of Lan caster, and is probably one of the largest in the country. The process Of inflating the huge monster was commenced at 10 o'clock in the scorning, and the occasion drew to gether a large crowd of people from town and country. About quarter • before two the Doctor stepped into the basket accom panied by Gates B. Weiser, Jr., of this bo rough the ropes were detached from their fastenings and the balloon rose majestically above the house tops and sailed off in a south-easterly direction, soon attaining a fair attitude whore it was witnessed by the most of people of our borough. It moved off slowly, toward the southeast where it was soon lost to view behind the clouds, and when at the height of about four thous and feet, the cat and parachute were left out and descended in safety. The ascension was a most successful one. When the par ties reached the farm of Mr. Ililderbrand in Hopewell township, the balloon came down to terra firma, where Mr. Weiser stepped out. After a short delay the Doctor then went up again, crossing over Hopewell and the Maryland line, coining down at precise ly eleven minutes past 4 o'clock in a corn field, on the farm of Mr. John Taylor in Liarford county, about ten miles from Bal- I leair. Here at the earnest solicitation of I Mr. Elia Scarboro, the Doctor reascended to the length of the rope, about ono hundred feet, accompanied Mr. Scarboro's daught er , a little girl of about twelve years of age. The child enjoyed the treat amazingly. D r , Dale took supper at the house of the last named gentleman, where Ire was treated with all the kindness and hospitality imag inable. From there he was taken by Mr. Sea rboro fourteen miles to the Jack Tavern ut Centerville, where he remained over night arriving in York the next day at .10 o'clock P. M. We are very sorry that the want or space prevents us from taking it more extended notice of this ascension, cer tainly one of the finest most successful and most beautiful we have ever witnessed in our borough. We can only add in con clusion that during the process of inflation and preparation to ascend, that veteran .. , Eronaut John Wise, Esti, of Lancaster, was in attendance personally supervising the affitir. Mr. Wise has made four hun dred and forty-four successful ascensions and is one of the most distinguished bal loonists now living.— True Democrat.
