are greatly in need of half a dozen copies.
. For the past week or two we have ob
served the boys playing bull on the streets
—a practice annoying to pedestrians, and
damaging to windows. The glass above
the post-office door was broken by one of
these carelessly thrown balls. The boys
should be reminded by the proper officers
that the street is not the place for such
practices—that we have open common near
the river, ctc. The nuisance should be
stopped.
Wallings is doing a big sign business.
Rev. B. J. Douglass will locate tempora

Messrs. May Erwin have a good war
map, published especially with referenee
to the present campaign, and for sale cheap
at their book store. Every reader of the
Say should have ono to study the progress
of the great conflict. It will teach the stu

of France and Prussia. than years of dry
study in our text books.

The Hartford chief-of-police has forbid
den the sale of the small rubber baloons so
much in vogue as children's toys, on ac
count of a recent explosion of one on com

character, the coloring matter contained in
them is very poisonous.
The proposition of " Jobe" to furnish us

pie-nb of the U. B. Congre
gation at Mountville, which was hold on
the Gth inst., was a perfect success. It was
held in a pleasant grove owned by J. M.
Fridy, about k a mile from the place. The
weather being favorable, with many
guests present from dillbrent parts of the
country and Columbia,and with a good sup
ply of provisions, a good time was enjoyed.
NAnnow ESCAPE.—A. D. Haldeman, a
young man in the employ of Win. G. Pat
ton met with a narrow escape on Tuesday
afternoon. He " spied" a rat in the back
yard, and grabbing a hand full of potatoes,
made a desperate onslaught on the retreat
ing animal. In the excitement of the bat
tle, and not seeing an open hatchway in the
lme of advance, he plunged into it, lauding
in the cellar below—a distance of about 2U
feet. Outsiders being alarmed by the noise,
ran to the rescue, and found the body tight
ly wedged between a barrel of molasses
and a barrel of fish. After some difficulty
the lad was extricated, and medical attend
ance called in, when upon examination. it
was ascertained that no final injury had
been sustained. He is now doing well.
Trtk worleon the new engine house, now
being built by the Vigilant Fire Company,
on second street is progressing rapidly
and assuming a tine appearance. The Com
pany after laboring under so many difficult
ies in their efforts to procure new apparatuses
and everything that belongs to a first-class
tire department well deserves the privileges
or the handsome and convenient structure
now in course of erection. In a short time
the Company with their new and efficient
steamer, their new hose carriage and well
supplied with good strong hose, all lodged
in their new house can congratulate them
selves as being in circumstances second to

The building whon completed will be an
ornament to Columbia, and a great credit
to the Company; showing with what dili

EDITOR SPY Our communication in last
week's SPY in regard to the "disrespectlul
ippon of the LandlSVille campmeeting" in
the herald of the _sth, has provoked an
ansttcr ti °in one of the ins ny assistant ed
itors of that concern,—an answer in the de
fence 01 the other assistant editor, whom
we justly characterized us " reviler of re
ligion and a merry-inaker over sacred
Hangs." This editorial contribution ema
nates from an individual who signs himself
brennarmn"—we however presume
be meant an infallible one.,
Mr. infallible " Winbrennarian" of the
//erald immediately rushes into a justifica
tion of his brother editor's levity, and brain
less witticisms about the religious services
saying:
We read your article on the Landisville camp
and saw nothing "disrespectful" or partizan"
nor noticed the-19 ribaldry."
Wu will allow -.of you readers, as
have seen the article'. r who is right,
with the :Additional evi Bich the fol
lowing extract ffom thi • Herald
gives, to incline them in no vor :
The Camp Meeting at McElliallen . , five miles
this side of Loci:Haven will commence on Tees
day, kith inst. We expect to be present, and per
haps will give the readers of the HERALD a de
scription of events traspiring In that neighbor
hood, and also give some tool, signing his name
"Methodist,' a chance to accuse us of mixing
polities with religion.
The above is from the local editor, whose
disrespect for religious things, and whose
levity the infallible - " brennarian"
cannot see. Even '• Winbreunariart" who
in this instance becomes the mouth-piece
and defender of the local editor (?) must in
,troduce into his' reply :such an extremely
partisan term :is "carpet bag." Neither
can lie close without falling back upon its
fend of classical knowledge, and parade
the story of the Lion and the Ass, thereby
hoping no doubt to establish his claims to
be advanced, through the various zoological
gradations from the latter up to the rank
of the former. Facts are stubborn things,
and they stand uncontroverted, just as we
gave them last week.
To substantiate our position about the
levity and low ribaldry and we might add
vulgarity of the presumptions, and we were
about to say, impertinent local editor,•we
take up the Herald of a later date, wherein
we find a local, which originated with the
last annual session of the Grand Lodge of
Knights of Pythias at - Williamsport.; to
this we invite the attention of " Winbren
narian," as his close relations with the
Herald establishment has put him in pos
session of the facts. We ask him as a father,
whether such vulgarity Is tit for a local
faintly paper.
We might give many other instances,
but this ono will suffice to make him hung
his head in shame. It has always been a
wonder to us, that a christian community
whose standard of morality is high, and
whose regard for the sacredness of the
family circle is so well known, would tol
erate such an ulcer us the " local editor."
No one is proof against his attacks, no
child even, who can read, can be trusted
with his weekly bulletins of nonsense, lev
ity and vulgarity. The father of a child
himself, we cannot see how he can so fur
forget his duty and his self-respect as to
permit the delicate sense of his neighbors
to be so grossly outraged. We might en
large upon this subject to the utter discom
nture or both the local editor and his col
league, the "Winbrennariau" (a name illy
adapted to represent his religious creed)
but we desist for the present. We would
rather draw the veil of charity around them
both, than administer this public rebuke.
If the managers of that vulgar sheet had
any sense of responsibility, there might
still be hope of relieving the community of
the incubus. But here expediency fails.
Neither the editor, nor the local editor (?)
nor any of the many other assistants aro en
(Janie of assumiug any responsibility either
nuancially, socially or morally. There is
no redress except in appealing to the peo
ple of Columbia to frown down this para

IMPROVEMENT IN FRUIT JARS.—House
keepers have long been annoyed with the
difficulty of unfastening jars after they
have been sealed up, or screwed up. We
have been favorably impressed with an im
provement made in this article by Mr. A.
J• Weidner, 38 S. Second St., and 29 Straw
berry St., Philada. This consists in sub
sauting a sp:ing instead of the old-fashion
ed screw for fastening the top. In case of
fermentation, or any action of beat or cold,
the top will give to a certain extent, thus
preventing an explosion. Mr. W.'s jars
are aptly styled "The Pet," fo: they must
become the favorite of all housekeepers.
We took home a dozen, and they are pro
nounced faultless—being superior to any
be etofore in use. The proprietor furnishes
full directions for fastening, opening or
closing. We also noticed in this establish
ment au elegant assortment of Jelly Jars,
of tumbler size.—Camden (A'. T.) DCMOCrag.
A SW/MMING Ara'rm.—An exceedingly
agreeable occupation for the hot weather is
by swimming, that is if you know how. It
is not expensive amusement either, unless
yo go in ten or twelve times a day thereby
wearing out your buttons by so much but
toning and unbuttoning. The State Con
vention of the G. A. R. was held at Wilkes
barre week before last, a.id the day after
the delegates went on a pic-nie by invita
tion of the Wilkesban:o po - t,. The pic-nic
was held at Harvey's Lake, a beautiful
sheet of water, and water suzgested swim
ming. Mayor Calhoun, of Philadelphia,
challenged the whole crowd to a swimming
match, but es the Major had lost a leg
during the war, the race was only open to
oao legged swimmers. The challenge was
accepted by George 11. Paxton, of West
Chester, and General Collins of Washing
ton, D. C., both of whom lost a leg in their
country's service. The coatestants strip
ped for the match and at the word took the
water like regular rr ertnen. Right gallan
tly the swimmers dashed through the clear
waters of tt•e lake cheered on by the shouts
of the watching crowd. The course, nearly
a half mile in length, was passed over first
by Major Calhoun, followed closely by the
representative from West Chester. For so
large and heavy a man, and having only
one leg Mr. Paxton is a tip top swimmer.
He was rewarded for coming in second by
a gold pen, the presentation speech being
made by General Seltridge.—Rcading Times
TirE recent war in our own country leas
awakened a great interest in everything
that pertains to the Fran co-Prussian war.
We therefore copy the following article
from the Philade. Ledger which we ho ow
will be read with interest :
A French soldier, in marching orders, it
is stated, carries on his back and shoulders,
a weight of 77 pounds avoirdupois, or one
third of the regulation weight carried by a
sumpter mule. A correspondent. of the
London Telegiaph writes that he recently
examined the contents of the "pack" car
ried by a soldier of tho Fourth Volhgeurs,
on the match from Paris to the front, and
found it to be composed of the following
articles: The Chassepot rifle, tteighingsev
on and a half pourds; the sword, bayonet
and scabba:•d, three pounds; ten pounds
of amunition, distributed partly in two
pouches and partly in his knapsack ; a pa'r
of shoes ; a four-pound loaf of b cad; a can
vas foraging bag slung over the left should
er, and containing a pound of tobacco, some
cigars, a Busk of brandy, a good sized veal
and ham pie, and a string of garlic sausa
ges. Over the knapsack this soldier car
ried a great coat, a blanket, his share of the
canvas for the shelter tent, and sticks for
the same, and a huge camp kettle. Inside of
the knapsack he had a second pair of trow
sers, combs, brushes, kneedles, thread, but
tons, a pair of gloves, a couple of pairs of
socks, and three shirts ; in addition, a quart
flask was slung Over his right shoulder.
A long march under such a weight, it is
believed, would break down the ordinary
soldier; and although the practice in the
French army is to order the men to lay
down their packs before going into action,
yet their strength must be severely taxed
in getting up to the front. Marshal Niel,
it is stated, endeavored to reduce to a min
imum the weight carried by the French
solstiers, and organized a regimental train
consisting of one-horse two-wheeled wag
ons, lour to be attached to each company.
This "•regimental train,'" however, ites not
been organized' and the number Zof the
carts is so few that even the Imperial Guard
has only about twelve for each regiment,
and they aro only hsed to carry spare alma
nition.
The Lancaster " Intelligencer" has its

lawlessness of Tennessee and North Caro

From the Strasburg "Free Press" we
learn that Mr. Lockwood, of Strasburg, the
other evening caught in the Pequea on an
outline, a snapper weighing 2S pounds.
On last Saturday evening a horse belong
ing to Mr. John H. Brackbill, broke loose
from his fastening at the Washington Ho
tel, and after running around the streets
awhile to the consternation of pedestrians
finally brought up against the hitching
post in f.o.it of the M. E. Church, when he
was caught. The wagon was badly broken,
having been dragged upon its side for some
distance. The horse was not inj tired.

INCREASING BUSINESS.—Since the re
organization of the Columbia Insurance
Company, and its management by Maj. J.
Frueauir, the business has been rapidly
increasing. Parties, who had decided to
withdraw their policies upon expiration,
have, upon hearing of its now management,
their policies and expressed confidence in its
quickly regaining its credit.
GOOD Wonk3rAssmr.—The Shifting En
gine No. 364 in the service of the Penn'a. R.
lt., at this place has recently been repainted
in the highest style of the art byP B "V ache,
the Master Painter of the Pbilada. Division.
The company intended having it sent to
their shops at Philadelphia, but subsequent
ly placed it in the hands of the Master
Painter here. The figures " 361" relieved
by graceful shades adorn the sides. As a
specimen of workmanship, it is second to
none on the road, though executed without
the advantages which the company's shops
afford. It is a credit to the skill and taste
of the artist.
SUNDAY SumoLs.—Over ire Berks county
the young lawyers are taking au active in

full of beauty and pathos. Tue speaker re
lated a number of bible stories,
but became
a little confused—Speaking of Moses in the
lions den, Daniel in the ark, and Noah
smiting the rock. This augurs well for
Berks, Co., and if persisted in, will have a
most salutary effect.
To nE3rove. TUE SKIN FROM PEACHES.—
Every one knows there is a great loss of
pulp in paring peaches with a knife; to ob
viate which, an exchange suggests the fol
lowing method of treating them : Make lye
as strong as possible of wood ashes and Soft
water. Fill a kettle with the lye, and when
boiling rapidly, drop in twelve or eighteen
peaches and take out again almost imme
diately, and immerse them in a pail of cold
water. Take one in your hand, and you
perceive that the rind will slip oft entirely,
leaving a round beautiful yellow ball;
throw It immediately into another pail of
pure water, and so proceed till all are done.
This process will not injure the flavor of the
tin. st peach, and once tried, the old-lash
ioned way of pealing with a knife will not
be again adopted. If the lye is not strong
enough, put into the kettle two dipperfulls
of clean wood ashes. This is an excellent
way to rid small onions of their jackets
preparatory to picking them—Er.
CAN - 13 PRESENTATIOZ , 7.-Our obliging and
efficient Market Master, Richard E. Bar
rick, was presented on last Saturday a week
with a magnificent silver headed ebony
cane. It appears that Mr. John Swartz,the
young and enterprising butcher, conceived
the idea of getting up some token to express
the regard and esteem, in which they hold
Mr. Barrick. Accordingly he set to work
with his usual determination, and solicited
contributions from the rest of the butchers
on the lower stands. After securing suffi
cient funds he ordered the cane front the
manufactory of Edward A. Massey, Phila
delphia. The cane was soon forthcoming,
a paragon of neatness and beauty. The
solid silver head is chastely carved, and on
the top are engraved these words, "Pre
sented to R. E. Barrick, July 23d, 1870.
The cane is a valuable present,and while i t
is regarded by the fortunate recipient as a
very flattering token of the esteem of his
fellow citizens, it unmistakably reflects
credit upon the taste and energies of Mr.
Swartz, the enterprising butcher. Such
spontaneous exhibitions of appreciation by
the public, and more especially by those
with whom Ito more intimately associated,
is certainly gratifying to a public officer.
1 - 3tronTANT TO WITNESSES.—Tho Legis
lature of this state passed a law last winter,
for the purpose of more effectually compell
ing the attendance of witnesses sulycentted
to attend and testify in cases in court. We
publish the law so that those interested
may not be ignorant of tho penalty pre
scribed for disregarding the mandates of
the court:
"That if any person shall have been re•
quired by virtue of any writ or subpoena
or other legal process, to attend and testify
iu any prosecution for forgery, perjury and
felony before any criminal court, judge, jus
tice, or other judicial tribunal in this Com
monwealth, or who may have been recog
nized or hold to bail to attend as a witness
ou behalf of the Commonwealth or defend
ant before any court having jurisdiction to
testify in any prosecution, as aforesaid,
shall unlawfully and wilfully, from this
Commonwealth or from the jurisdiction of
such court, and with intent to defeat the
ends of public justice, abscond, elope or
conceal himself, and refuse to appear as
required by said subpuma or other legal
process or recognizance of bail, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and being thereof
convicted, snail be sentenced to pay a tine
not exceeding two thousand dollars, or un
dergo an imprisonment not exceeding two
years, or both, or either, at the discretion
of the court.
" Tun Snow is COMING."—The great
menagerie of Gardner 6: J. Forpaugh will
be hero on next Thursday. It is said to be
one of the best in the world, and is iu reali
ty the poor man's amusement. We give be
low an extract from the Philadelphia Ledger
than_which then could be no bettor testimo
ny. Our people should take tho opportuni
ty of seeing this great collection of animals.
The Ledger says :
There has been so much said of late about
shows, that we hardly know how to ap
proach the subject again, but as journal'sts
we must not pass by unnoticed, unquestion
bly the large •t and best show in the United
Slates. In making this rash assertion, we
are backed up by the whole press of the
country, without a dissenting voice, where
this show has traveled, and it Is conceded
by professional showmen (a great number
of whom have recently visited our city) to
be superior to any similar concern nciw
traveling, and we aro again convinced that
it is the show, from the liberal manner iu
which it is managed.
The list of animals embrace almost every
- - - -
kind known to naturalists, from the largest
elephant, whose weight exceeds five tons,
to the smallest cow, whose weight is less
than seventy-two pounds. Birds and beasts
in unlimited num hers, and excellent varie
ties. Two tents uro used for these exhibi
tions separate and distinct as is the nature
of the exhibitions.
We take pleasure in commending this
show to the public, !holing satisfied that all
who patronize it will be well entertained,
highly edified and as it is probaoly the last
of the season, no doubt our citizens and
neighbors will bestow upon it a liberal pa
tronage.
The advertisement appears nit the pages
of our paper this morning, and it is attrac
tive to call toe attention of our readers
without 1110 usual " See advertisement,"
which we generally append to a notice of
this kind.
We shall watch with considerable interest
the sensation that the 4 Paw Mastodon will
create when. it comes to our city. It will
no doubt draw the largest crowds of any
show of the season.
MILITABX ENC.I.3IPMENT AL' READING.-
The third reglinent of Philadelphia City
Guards, Maj. Gen. Mulholland went into
camp at Reading last Saturday. They will
remain one week. They were welcomed
by the Mayor and the hospitalities of,the
city extended. The General replied in a
brief speech.
The eamp is located in an open field, with
woods and water on three bides. The loca-
tion is beautiful, and the surrounding scen
ery grand. Thousands of citizens visit them
daily; on Sunday the stream of visitors
was constant, and it is estimated that up
wards of 5000 people were on the grounds
during the day. Drill three times a day,
guard mount dress parade, and other camp
duties occupying the time. On our visit
to the camp, we met many officers of the
old Penna. regiments, former associates
in the late war.
In company with Councilman A. K.
Stauffer, Esry., wo drove over tee principal
portions of the city of Reading. The rapid
growth of the city, its beauty, enterprise
and thrift aro the subject of general com
ment by strangers. Ground, which livo
years ago was lying in open common is
now laid out, and covered with three and
four story brick houses. The stores on
Penn street are the finest in the state, in fact
its prosperity, as the census will undoubtly
show, will make it the third city in
Pennsylvania. The Council is composed
mainly of young citizens. who are a
unit in anything which will tend to the
further growth and beauty of the city.
One of the last achievements, secured only
by persistent hard work, is the removal of
the market house from the Main street.
Through the kindness of Mr. Stauffer, wo
were taken through the City Mill, in which
is located the new Council chambers and
offices fitted up in magnificent style.
—The 3rd Iteghnent City Guards will re
main in camp till to-day. Yesterday Goy.
Geary and Staff, Senator Cameron and
others inspected the regiment. The regi
ment is under the strictest discipline, well
drilled, and handsomely uniformed, and
presents a very line appearance.
BARN BURNED.—The large barn of Abra
ham IVissler, in East Hempfield twp., two
miles east of Landisville, was struck by
lightning during the storm on Tuesday
night and entirely consumed. It contained
a large quantity of grain, hay and corn, all
of which were destroyed, together with a
new reaper, new wagon, and various other
agricultural implements. The live stock
was all saved. The barn was worth $3,000
and its contents about ,$3,000 more.
There was no lightning rod, no insurance,
on account of the prevailing opposition to
such human agencies against averting ne
ural disasters. Had this barn been pro
tected by the Cleveland rod—H. H. Heise
agent, it no doubt would have been saved.
THE YOUNG PEoPLE's HELPER is a new
and most deserving candidate for favor
among the young folks, or rather an old fa
vorite of theirs in a new and much impro
ved form. It is terse, earnest, lively, in
structive and entertaining in its character,
and should be welcomed by the boys and
girls everywhere as a favorite, while par
ents will find it indeed a "helper" to them
selves and their children. Its aim is to
help our American boys and girls to be
true, pure, faithful, healthful and joyous
in youth and so aid thorn to win a good and

TAMPERING WITII HANDBILLS. --Til e
practice of tearing down or mutilating
handbills prevails in this country to an
great extent that calls forth the enforce
ment of the law on the subject. Men who
advertise their business are entitled to pro
tection, and persons caught tampering with
handbills should be promptly prosecuted.
For the benefit of all concerned we publish
the following general law :
That any persons caught mutilating, de
stroying, tearing down or removing any
show bill, placard, programme, poster or
other advertisement, placed on any wall,
fence, bill board, or other structure, shall
be lined not less than twenty-five dollars
nor more than one hundred dollars for
the first offence, and for the second offence
the penalty shall be imprisonment in the
county jail not less than three nor more
than six months.

EDITOR Or• Tan SPY:—In looking over
the list of candidates for the legislature, we
find none who would seem more acceptable
to the people of the "upper end" than Juli
us L. Shuman of this place. lie has always
been a hearty,cousisteat, hard-working re
publican, in full sympathy with the party,
cooperating with it in every thing tending
to its success. lie is an obliging gentleman,
courteous and polite, and the " old guard"
will do herself credit, by such honorable
representation. lie is a sensible man, and
we truly believe independent of all cliques,
combinations Cc. If the people will elect
him, they will have a faithful representive
and oblige his many friends at

Columbia has no candidate for the office of
Recorder of Deeds; hence I take the please
of naming a gentleman, and recommending
him for the suffrages of our people, via:
Dr. J. C. Snavely of Manheim Borough.
Dr. Snavely was the first candidate an
nounced, ho is a gentlemen deserving and
worthy of the office and as a partial remu
neration for his active services he should
have the office. He is honest, well spoken
of by his neighbors, and would make an
efficient officer. He has always been ou the
side of honesty and reform, and has sus
tained his reputation in spite of the efforts
to injure him. If the people of Columbia
will give Snavely a good majority, they
will do themselves honor. A FRIEND.

Mr_ EDITOR :7--We perceive that the as
sistant editor of the Columbia Herald pro
poses to be present at the camp meeting at
AlcElhattan, near Lock Haven which com
mences on the 16 inst.
We do hope for the cause, for which this
great convocation of christians assemble,
that Air. G. will divest himself of that levity
and gidd;ness so peculiar to his character
and writing, and that he will in all serious
ness engage in its ministrations and de
voutly and earnestly importune for the
possession again of that condition of grace
which was his privilege in a more innocent
state of his nature to enjoy, but from WIACit
he has lamentably Wien. We advise this
not only out of pure christian regard lor
his eternal welfare, but also for the sake of
those families who in their charity receive
his paper into their families; for this is
the vonicle of his power. Personally he
has no influence for good or evil, but he
makes the Herald the unsuspected messen
ger of his poison and pollution. Who can
deny .it, who refute it? A vein of levity .
and giddiness pervades every sentence'
which he contributes—and this especially
in the local department,—a department,
which always attracts the attention of the
family.
We repeat that wo sincerely hope that his
visit to the great convocation of christians
at McElhattan may result differently trout
his anticipations as we gather them from
his local wherein ho hopes "to give some
fool, signing himself' Methodist,' a chance
to accuse of mixing politics with redgion;"
that he tatty in the next issue of his paper
record the wonderful workings of grace in
his own heart, that he may return to his
first love, and that this next weokly bulle
tin will bo an acceptable visitor, to even
such of our families, who have already de
termined upon its immediate discontinu
ance. lioru•
[For the Spy.]
THE warm weather of the past few days
has developed large armies of mosquitoes
—a pestilence which calls for retributive
justice. During these warm evenings,
when sleep is nigh impossible, they are
Particularly delighted in their cruel attacks.
There are many who can't see 'what the
mosquito was made for. He's a sanguin
ary cuss with no redeeming qualities that
we could ever discover. If he possesses
any, he is too modest to let his virtue be
known. He is the nocturnal enemy of man
during the summer solstice. The blood
thirsty cuss hides by day, as does the jun
gle tiger, and goes through our " hides"
in the still watches of the night, when
slumber's chains have bound us. Happy
the lie or she not tackled by this demon of
the marshes until wrapped in the arias of
Morpheus, and who can sleep it out under
the inflictions all night.
Hew different this nocturnal bird from
the fly that buzzes and trapezes about all
day, and goes to roost at night like well
regulated chickens! The mosquito will
collie singing about your ears just as you
have turned in, thinking, no doubt, that if
music h•ith charms to soothe the savage
breast, it ought to lull you to steep. His
notes have a contrary effect upon us. It he
would whistle some popular airs, it might
be different; but lie don't. His perform
ances are about as musical—not a whit
more so—as a boy's first attempt upon a,
jewsharp or snare drum. And ut times,
how terribly spiteful the sanguinary
wretch is. And he's so light-footed, too
that it is difficult to tell when he steps on
you. Oh, the stealthy, cowardly, ravenous
blood-thirsty villain ! He possesses only
one charm—that which absence lends in the
cold months. The fly will go for molasses,
the spider will 'inveigle the fly into his
"parlor," the bird will gobble the spicier,
but the mosquito, that sharp-toothed,
blood-craving, gray-backed bird of destiny,
was built to torment mankind, and Ile an
swers the purpose admirably. To sum up ,
he is a bird of infinite greed of blood and
extreme cussedness, ev ery Lime. I'. S.—
Why is the mosquito like Grant? We
know what copperhead will say—because
of his " infinitegreed." But this is not the
auswer,tul you should'ut allow yourse Ives
to give such au answer. The mosquito is
like Grant, for the reason that he intends
to light it out on this lino if it takes all
summer.

Let everybody turn outand help the widow.
The Tutnbleronicons are a good troupe,

Tim Reformed Sunday School held their
annual picnic at Litiz spring on Tuesday.
Although the turnout was not so large as
some others, we believe the party enjoyed
as well the amusements of the day, which
consisted in playing ball and croquet,
swinging, promenading,relating anecdotes,
and last, though Lot least, partaking of re
freshments, with which the party was
abundantly provided.
The party returned at 9 o'clock P. M.
much pleased with their excursion.
CAMP MEETING.—A camp 'meeting will
co held in Simon Groh's woods, on the Ma
rietta Pike, about f our Marietta, and
2 miles from Columbia, commencing Aug.
10th, to cor Untie ono week. Boarding ac
commodations will be ample. The strictest
order will be maintained, and the meeting
will be regulated according to the laws of
Pennsylvania, governing religious bodies.
No tent or booth for the sale of refreshments
allowed within 3 miles of the place except
by permission of Rev. Thos. 11. Harris, pro

sey Shore and went thence in wagons to
the fishing grounds. They caught 210
Trout, bad a tine time generally, and re
turned home highly delighted with their
summer trio.
A photograph of their party has until
lately adorned the window of Mr. Roden

WONDERFUL SUCCESS.—Mess Ls. 11. H.
Heise and E. J. Clapp inform us that they
have sold and erected this season 16,000 feet
of Cable rod—manufactured by the celebra
ted Penna, Lightning Rod Co. They in
sure all buildings upon which they erect
the rod, and so far, have not lost a single
one. Such success is unprecedented, and
our Columbia Agency leads the van in point
of success. Orders left with 11. 11. Heise will
receive prompt attention.
EDlTon:—Of what advantage is it to
our citizens that every week or two there
should be a drunken man in the streets,
making a noise and swearing to the dis
gust of every decent person. This animal
has been locked up for this kind of conduct,
and it was then hoped, he would reform
and be a sober, decent man. Were he a
black man, or did be not always boast of
being a democrat, perhaps our authorities
would notice him. I beg through your pa
per to inform him, that if this conduct is
repeated, ho will tied himself before the
magistrate, as he did upon the complaint of
old Mr. cleaves. COLUMBIA.
Dn. 3. 11. RUTLEY, M. D., proprietor of

only.
The Dr. has also taken parlors at the
Franklin House, where those able and will
ing to pay can be healed of all curable
chronic diseases. "As ye go, preach the
Gospel, heal the sick." His cures have
been so marvelous in Philada., that the en
tire press, secular and religious have en
dorsed him as one of the most successful
practitioners of the age.
BELL DEDICATION. — The bell and steeple
recently added to the church of the United
Brethren congregation of Drytown was ded
icated to the service of God on Sunday last
with solemn and impressive ceremonies.
Revs. Derkson and Mumma officiated on
the occasion, delivering eloquent and ap
propriate addresses in the English and
German languages, both morning and
evening. A subscription was taken up to
wards the payment oi the expenses incurred
by the improvement which was readily and
liberally responded to by the large audience
The church with its new coat of paint,
steeple, and bell, the merry peals of
which can be hsard a distance of several
miles around the neighboring country, is a
great credit, and an ornament to the quiet
little village of Drytown.
ADMISSION only 25 cts, for Mrs. Redman's
benefit. Let us all be there.
BASE BALL—On Tuesday Aug. 9th, a
large number of people witnessed

Famous Blue Stocking and the " Never

batting ; he also took a Red Hot Fly on the
" nose." They succeeded in beating the
Blue Stocking Boys by a score of 35 to S.
The "Fair Play" and "Shoo Fly" clubs
played a game on Wednesday, resulting
in a score of 29 to 23 in favor of the former.
—ln connection with these notices we aro
requested to state that during the past few
weeks, the residents along Front st., in the
vicinity of the B. B. grounds are very much
annoyed by boys, scallawags and hangers
en while these games are iu progress; that
the noise and blasphemy are shocking, and
that if not stopped at once, the authorities
will be applied to have the nuisance abated.

Tut: GREAT TtiuNDER STOIC:W.-MO se
verebt thunder storm of the season passed
over the county on Tuesday evening. The
lightning flashes were most vivid, and the
thunder terrific. There was very little rain
in Columbia—more elsewhere. The Lan
caster " In telligencer" will, convey an idea
of the storm as it appeared in Lancaster.
Between 11 and Li o'clock last night thin
clouds were overspreading the sky above
our city. A few minutes before o'clock
a rain began to fall, which descended softly
and with a cool, refreshing patter for some
twenty minutes, when the elements gath
ered in blackness and one of the most ter
rifle thunder storms that ever passed over
our city broke upon the night, rousing all
the inhabitants of Lancaster from slumber,
startling them with flash alter flash of the
most vivid lightning, and terrifying them
with peat after peal of the loudest thunder.
.The oldest inhabitants all assure us that
they never heard such thunder in their
lives, and we believe them. The crashes
were'terrible, and the stoutest nerves were
shaken us one thunderbolt after another
swept through the clouds which seemed to
rest upon the house tops. To add to the
terror of the wild scone, the cry of fire came
sounding on the air between the peals of
thunder, and the bells rang furiously.
Everybody knew in a moment that some
building had been enkindled by a flash of
lightning, and in the mind of all the ideas
of death and destruction were commingled.
The rain fell in torrents while the engines
rattled with loud noise over the stony
streets, and the hoarse notes of the firemen's
horns rose above the din caused by o the war
of the elements. It was truly- a night of
terror. When morning broke, affording
us a chance for gathering the particulars,
we found the city full of rumors about the
damage done, from which we glean the fol
lowing facts :
The residence of Mrs. Catharine Kelly,on
the corner of East Orange and Shippen
streets, was struck by lightning at the west
end, and took tire therefrom burning the
roof completely through between both
chimnies. The electric fluid passed off to
the lightning rod, running about half way
doWb and then separating it, when it fell to
the *round. Here it ran long the ground to
the front of the house and communicated
with the door bell, burning up all the wire
save half-inch.
The residence of Henry Doerr, butcher,
Wnter street, was also struck and set nn
lire, but not seriously damaged. Mr. Doerr
was lying, on a lounge at the time, and was
not much stunned, but his wife who was in
bed, was thrown to the floor and remained
speechless for some time. The house was
furnished with two I , ghtning rods, ono at
each end. The fluid seems to have belt the
rod and struck into the garret near the
chimney.
The residence of Dr. J. P. 11.1ceaskey, in
Walnut street near Duke was struck, the
fluid passing down the chimney, knocking
out a tew bricks, and a piece of sheet iron
placed above the lire-place.
Alderman Fisher and wife, residing on
North Prince street, near Orange, were both
stunned so severely as to be rendered
speechless for a short time, though there
wits no indication of their house being
struck.
The wires in the telegraph office in the
Pennsylvania Railroad Depot were much
deranged, and a chair in the office was
thrown across the room.

A GREAT TELESCOPE.—The American
Engineer says that Messrs. Cook & Sons, as
tronomical instrument manuflicturers, of
York, Pennsylvania, have just completed
the largest refracting telescope over con
structed. The tube, which is cigar-shaped,
is thirty two feet long, and in the centre
three feet in diameter. A metal pillar upon
which it stands is twenty feet high, and of
about six feet diameter at the base. At the
top of, and within the pillar, is a driving
clock, the weights of which occupy the low
er hollow of the same part of the instru
ment. The order for the telescope was giv
en over five years ago by a submarine cable
manufactL—er, of Gateshead, into whose
possession at the latter place it is now in
course of removal. Gateshead, however, it
may be stated, is not to be its permanent
destination, it being the intention to erect an
observatory for its accommodation in Ma
deira. Since its near approach to comple
tion the instrument has been inspected by
astronomers and scientific men front almost
every part . the country.
