LOCAL ITEMS.—The West Philadelphia
Hose Company will visit Columbia about
the middle of September.
Our Saturday market is supplied with an
abundance of fruit. Peaches aro coming
in.
Fifth street, between Walnut and Locust,
should be graded and Macadamized, and
the pavement laid the entire square.
Drunkenness is on the increase in Colum
bia. Our nights are made hideous with
wicked revelries. " Drunkenness made
easy" is the remit of too much license.
Will not our good people bestir themselves
in this matter.

The primary election will take place next
Samrday afternoon, at the Town Hall.
Every Republican should turn out.
Croquet is announced by a Nest• rn cler
gyman as "deleterious to the moral and
spiritual interests of the church."
All toe , papers have something to say
about " summer drinks," relating the ex
perience of editors with different beverages,
each recommending his favorite. It is a
singular circumstance that none have al
luded to water.
The Germans of Lancaster have appoint
ed committees to solicit money in aid of the
wounded in Europe.
The boys who go "coasting" on Locust
street in wagons should be arrested. They
frighten horses, and one of these days we
may be called on to chronicle a horrible
runaway, accident or smash up.
For cheap groceries, go to Hayes' corner
of Fourth and Cherry.
RUNAWAY AND SMASH_ Ur.—On Thursday
afternoon i‘s J. F. Thumm, Cabinet-maker
South Fourth street, was driving up Front
street, the Flagman at the Locust street
crossing, signified hdn not to cross on ac
count of the approaching train. His uriver,
a German, disregarded the signals, drove
rapidly across, and in turning up Locust,
the wagon, a light two-seated carriage,
was upset. Mr. Thumm and his driver
under it. Persons ran to their assistance,
caught the horse after he had broken the
shafts, and extricated the men. Mr.
Thumm was not hurt at all, but his driver
was considerably bruised. The carriage
was somewhat damaged. This is another
accident caused by Wilful disregard of law.
and had it resulted tidally, the parties
themselves would have been to blame.
STOLEN PROPERTY Rr•.covt:nun.--Ifer
bert Thomas, Esq., informs ns that about a
year ago all the silver plate, belonging to a
friend of his in Montgomery county, Col.
Owen Tones, was stolen, and all traces of
the theft lost. Rewards were offered, but
without effect. The treasures were given
up as lost.
A few days ago, while strolling through
a woods, near Norristown, with his dog,
the animal was observed to bite and
scratch at a bright object, protruding above
the ground. Upon closer examination, the
bright object was found to be a silver
pitcher. It was removed, and beneath it
was buried all the silver which had been
stolen a year ago. Doubtless the thief, sup
posing he might be detected with the silver
ware in his possession, buried it, and the
"lucky dog" scratched it out.
ANNIVERSARY RECEPTION.—The Council
of Junior Order of American Mechanics of
this place, celebrated the second anniyer

last Monday evening. Their Hall over
Patton's store, was thrown open, brilliantly
illuminated, and filled with the happy Ju
niors, and their smiling lady friends.
There were about forty Juniors and us
many ladies. The pleasures of the even
ing consisted of games and music, and
closed with a splendid collation, consisting
of cakes of every descrit tie% fruit and lem
onade. . .

The affair was very pleasant—infinitely
more creditable, than a dance on the island
or some wild excursion. The presence of
the ladies gave it all possible interest and
the attentions they received, convi need us
of the gallantry of the Juniors. A number
of our citizens stepped in during the even
ing to witness the festivities. and all united
in pronouncing it a most pleasant

MAT BENEFIT—An Honorable Transac
gion.--Last Saturday evening the Tumbler
onicon Troupe, under the management and
at the suggestion of George Young, Junior,
mat W. Hayes Grier, Editors of the Herald
gave a benefit (!) in Odd Fellows' Hall, for
bin. William Redmond, Perry street, the
widow of the unfortunate man who was
killed on the Penna. R. 'R., July 23. The
public was appealed to through bills, pes
ters and the papers; and an individual can
vass was made to secure the sale of tickets.
Railroaders, especially took an a active in
terest in the matter, and contributed all
they could to make the benefit a success.
Numbers of our citizens purchased tickets
out of charity, not having occasion or incli
nation to use them. This paper gave the
benefit an advertisement, at half our usual
rates, as our humble contribution, though
important mutter had to be left out to make
room. The entertainment came off as an
nounced before a large audience, estimated
at nearly three hundred. Tile perform
ance was quite good, and everybody went,
home pleased that they had contributed
to a good cause, without the least suspicion
that the funds would not be appropriated
properly.
But the sequel proves that Yoting is not
"green" in the - show business," and he
was bound to secure the benefit, not for the
poor widow, but for himself. On Thursday
afternoon it was intimated at this ottice,that
a statement of the receipts would be very
desirable. We could obtain this statement
only of Mr. Young, the manager of the
show, or of the lady, for whose benefit (!)
the entertainment was given. Accepting
the former as the only reliable source of
information, in the company of another
gentleman, we called on the lady and ascer
tained the following facts :
That the benefit (I) was tendered without
her knowledge, and without her consent to
use her name. That it pained her to see her
name in connection with an entertain
ment given by a troupe of adventurers,who
were unknown to our people, and who will
hardly ever be hero again. And finally
that neither Mr. Young or Mr. !trier had
alp to yesterday afternoon called to report
the success of the benefit (I) or to pay her
,the proceeds.
These are the plain facts of the case wive
obtained them from the distressed widow
.Our people can readily appreciate the un
pleasant position in which a sensitive lady
.under such circumstances is placed, and
we know their sympathies are with her.
The evident design of this show business
was, by the use of the lady's. name, to se
cure enough money to cover the printing
bills of the two previous engagements. We
can not commend this kind ofcharity,whieh
our neighbors exercise toward the poor, as
either honorable or charitable.
—if any of our business men have doubtful
accounts which frequent "duns" will not
settle they should call on " Young &
Grier's World-Renowned Acrobatic Com
bination Troupe," for a benefit.
—We have since learned that the receipts
for the evening amounted to upwards of
fifty-one dollars and that the looney was
used to pay Young's pruding bills and other
expenses incurred previously,

was quickly weighed out to him. The

ME. EDITOR
There are some, and I might say a greet
many of our citizens, who are very anxious
to have Prof. John Hart, the great elocu
tionist of Lancaster, pay Columbia a visit
this season. lie is assisted by that prom
ising soprano singer Miss Nellie Johnson,
who has made for herself a reputation and
many friends wherever she has visited.
I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Hart
on Sunday, at the laying of the corner stone.
Was speaking to. him in regard to him pay
ing Columbian visit. He remarked that he
would be very happy indeed to pay us a
visit, on one condition. That we would
guarantee all expenses, which would be
about thirty or forty dollars. Columbia
has sufficient educated men, who would ap
preciate an entertainment given by Prof.
Hart, assisted by Miss Nellie Johnson, that
would be both moral and instructive.
Our Debating Society has somewhat died
out, and our Reading Room does not fur
nish variety sufficient for all. What say
the citizens of Columbia? Can wo not
guarantee Prof. Hart a large and att.ntive
audience. Have ono or two of our promi
nent citizens to take the matter in hand
and in that way a series of entertainments
could be given, knowing at the same time
that the expenses would be all paid: The
Junior Bachelors a few years ago were got
up on that plan, and how well they worked.
I hope Mr. Editor that the citizens of Co•
lumbia will not allow the season to paws '
without Prof. Hart and Miss Johnson pay
ing us a visit, as it is also the wish of many
others. Co LAIMBIAN.

THE K.:v.vrtE PIA:vo.- - In company with
Prat. Schmid, Prof. Zeller and another
musical gentleman we calkst a few even
ings since tosee the celebrated Kaabe piano
at D. llannuer's. Front street. The Knave
piano, though probably not as familiarly
known here as other manufacturers, has
become the worthy rival of the best pianos
in America. They have been befcre the
public for over thirty years, and their tone,
touch and workmanship have attained an
unpurchasetl pre-eminence that establishes
them as unrivaled in the whole list of pi
anos.
Their tone combines power, greater
sweetness than any other, purity of intona
tion and distinctness throughout the entire
scale.
The touch is pliant and elastic even in
the newest pianos.
In workmanship they are unexcelled
and range in price, according to the quality
and finish from WO to ;32000. Every piano
is warranted for fivd yeare—a sufficient
time, with even moderate care in using
them, to test their excellence.
The piano of :NIT. Hammer's is new, and
though not tuned since its shipment from
the Company's ware-rooms, it is in excel
lent condition. It is superior in sweetness
of tone to any we have ever hoard. The
most noticeable feature of the instrument
is the distinctness et intonation and oven-
. -
!less throughout the entire scale up to the
highest notes.
The manufacturers have recently pub-
lished a pamphlet containing over - twenty
pages of testimonials from the best must
clans, musical judges and the leading pa
pers througnout the country. We invite the
attention of those of our readers, who in
tend purchasing a piano, to call and see
this superior instrument. Prot: Andrew
Zeller is the agent here, and will give all
the desired information.
—All of the Kriabe pianos have the Im
proved Overstrung Scale and Agrallb
Trablo. Gothscbalk, the world-renowned
Pianist declares that the Knabo pianos "are
equal if not superior to the best manufac
tured in Europe, or this country by the
most celebrated makers." Thalberg says
that " among the great. q utilities which dis
tinguish them, aro the evenness of tone,
the easy anti agreeable touch and volume
of tone." Strakosch says : your pianos
rank among the very best in the country.
CIRCULATION.—Mr. Young- claims for the
Herald a circulation in the town of ono
hundred more than the Spy. We deny it,
and make it a question of veracity, and in
this we are safe. We will submit our list
any day for inspection. Name your man.

CITURCIE DEDICATION.—ThO corner stone
of St. Anthony's German Catholic was laid
on last Sunday. Delegations of Catholics
were present from all parts of the country.
The morning train took down twelve car
loads from York and Columbia, accom
panied by the York and Columbia bands.
The exercises consisted of early mass, din
ner, and a procession to the church. At
the church the following ceremony accord-
ing to the Ineelligencer took place :
After a brief delay the Rev. Clergy ap
peared in their clerical vestments and
moved in their procession around the
church.—At the rear of the building, the
ground over which the altar is to be erected
was blessed and the benediction of the
Cross performed according to the establish
ed rites of the church, Fattier McGinnis
leading and the rest of the Clergy present
assis'ng.
-- - _
Alter this part of the ceremony was con
cluded the clergy proceeded in a body to
the southwest corner of the building, be
ing the right corner of the front, where the
corn, r scone was prepared for the ceremony
of laying. The stone is of fine marble three
feet long by eighteen inches wide. On the
face of it is sculptured a cross, a crosier,
a mitre, and on a scroll the dale figures 1870.
"ft was presented by George Lehman, of St.
Joseph's church.
The ceremony of laying the corner stone
was highly interesting and impressive.
The appointed lesson from the Collect was
read and the stone sprinkled with the Holy
water prepared for the purpose and pre
viously used in the consecration of the cross.
Salt and water are first blessed separately
for such uses and mingled and blessed
again. Atter sprinkling the stone with the
water thus made holy, Father McGinnis
took up a small new trowel and scored a
cross on each corner of the marble block,
repeating the usual formula, in which the
clergy joined. The Litany of the Saints
was then sung, and the stone again sprink
led with Holy- water. Father McGinnis
then took a large new trowel and placed ce
ment on the brick foundation where the
stone was to rest, and handed the trowel
to Mr. McGeehan, the contractor, w•ho is
building the walls of the church. Ile com
pleted the bed of cement, and with the as
sistance of his work tnen, quickly moved
the stone to its place by means of rollers.
A cylindric hermetricallr sealed tin box, a
foot long and six inches in diameter, was
then dropped into a cavity of the corner
stone, and on top of this was; placed a mar
ble slab, fitting closely. the crevices being
tilled with cement by Father McGinnis.—
The whole stone was again sprinkled, and
the ceremony of laying it was thus cool p 1.., •

A. MAN KILLED.—On Thu rsd af tern° cm
Deputy Coroner Fraley was summoned to

a young man named Geo. W. Welker, of
Liverpool, Perry county, Pa. A jury con

The deceased is a School teacher, of Liver

struck by the engine of freight going cast.
Thu engineer whistled as his train was

was knocked down and instantly killed by
the force of the fall. Only his left, foot was

was the only other perceptible wound.
Thejury rendered a verdict of accidental

ADVICE Gn.yrfs.—Under this head the N.
Y. Tribitue gives the following excellent
advice to the colored people ; we transfer
the article to our columns, and ask their
especial attention :
I. Never resent or deprecate the applica
tion to yourselves of the term negroes. It
means only that you are, contradistinction
to your fellow-citizens, black ; and that is
the literal fact. It is in your power to make
the designation one of honor and pride by
simply behaving better than other In en—
which cannot be very difficult. Let who
will call you negroes in welcome, so that
you prove yourselves true men.
11. Be tar more cuxioas to give your sons
good trades than to push them into office.
Office is unstable and fleeting, while trades
are enduring.
111. Don't waste your scanty means in
starting distinctive organs, or getting up
negro churches, where you are allowed
equal privileges with others in existinr ,
journals and churches. If you are exclud
ed lrom these, you must of coarse act and
speak for yourselves.
IV. Warn your people against spending
too large a share of their earnings on fine
clothes, dancing, drinking, and other modes
of gratification. If they had saved half the
money they have thus wasted, they need
now ask favors of no man.
V. Turn your attention largely to the
cultivation of the soil. It is your father's
calling; and you can succeed in that if in
anything. Earth, air and water, are as tree
and as bounteous to you 55 to others ; you
Might settle whole counties it you would,
and thus choose your own neighbors and
manage your own schools, Don't say you
lack money ; for nine-tenths of the pioneer
settlers of all lands have been quite as
needy as you are; but take hold and hew
out for yourselves farms and homes from
the Public Dominion or elsewhere.
VI. Wait and serve, shave and black
boots while you to ust, and never doubt that
any kind of useful though humble industry
is preferable to idleness and dependence ;
but do not accept this as your inevitable
destiny. Plan and save while you aro in
it to get out so soon as possible, and never
rest tilt you live in your own houses and
till your OWII farms.
BUT it won't work, brother. Turn your
attention to honorable business, and your
stay in our beautiful town will be pro
longed.—Herald.
Wo regret exceedingly the necessity of
replying in a few sentences to the above,
and to what precedes it in reference to coin
unications to this paper. Concerning the
latter we have to say that happily we have
in our possession the manuscript of both
" Hope" and " Methodist," to which we
have not adde'l a line, or taken therefrom.
wre are not in the habit ofdoing such things.
In reference to the honorab/e business
w hi c h might prolong any one's stay in this
beautiful town, a few words are sufficient.
It ill suits Mr. Young. the publisher of the
Herald, to make such dangerous (to him
self) i ns inuations, of allow them to be made.
we assert it without fear or favor that he
has done more during the last live years to
bring this town into disgrace through his
itinerant transactions in his late business,
than any other calamity, which could have
befallen it. Go where you will over the
state and his name is a reproach, a stigma
upon the place. Mr'ere this an affair which
affected his private interests alone, wo
would not refer to it. But as it is a cause
of the people's, a cause which concerns
every one interested in the credit of Colum
bia; and since he has through his journal
intimated in all seriousness a personal diB
- transaction on our part, and in
dulged in the most uncalled for, as well as
wicked, misrepresentations, thus throwing
down the gauntlet, we accept, and will ex
pose him in this as well as in other public
transactions.
The people of the Central and the North
western counties, know Mr. Young too
well to place any confidence in what he
says or does. His gross mismanagement
of other peoples' affairs, and the fraud
which he has practiced upon them, as well
as upon this very indulgent communi:y,
so compromised him, in the estimation
of his fellow-citizens, as scarcely to merit
this notice from us. We give• it however,
that the people may know who and what
this pretenGer is. For proof and further
particulars, call at this °Rice.

ThomAs MAsoN's NEW STEAM SAW
Mu.r..—Last April, about the middle of the
month, we announced in the columns of the
Republican, that the contract for the erec
tion of a new steam saw mill had been
awarded by Thomas 1. Mason to Mr. George
Moore, of Lycoming county,that the ground
had been broken, and that the mill would
be completed and put in operation before
the lapse of ninety days. That announce:
meat although startling to some of our
lumbermen at the time, has been hilly car
ried out, its Mr. Moore, the builder, aecont
pli,,hed his tusk in precisely evilly-five
days.
The site selected for this mill is a very su-
- . .
perior one. Twenty-three acres of - hind
around the mill, lying between the Bald
Eagle Valley Railroad and the canal, and
adjoining this city, belong to the limn. A
good wagon road connects it with the city,
through Fairview street. Ten acres of the
ground is used as a pool, or basin, for the
reception of saw logs; having a capacity for
holding over 3,000,000 feet. The pool is
nicely arranged with booms for assorting
logs,
and has to•day several million feet of
the finest logs wo have seen together for a
long time.
The piling ground is quite large—occupy
ing a space 01 about thirteen acres, perfect
ly level, surrounded by nothing to prevent
the drying of lumber thoroughly and speed
ily for the Eastern markets. This ground
lies right along the canal, and boats may
be loaded from the piles without rehandling
the lumber, A railroad has been built
from 'aid, second story ot the null to the
canal, a distance of tit teen hundred feet.
The mill is a neat two-story Imilding—
.
size, .10 by 00 feet—built of heavy timber,
weather-boarded and neatly painted, and
is decorated with a large star on each end
and bearzng the American colors, and will
lie known as the "Stu• \Lill•' of Messrs.
Th omas dz, Mason.
In company with Mr. Mason, who has
charge of the business here, (his partner,
Mr. Thomas having charge of the wholesale
yard at Columbia, Pa.,) wo entered the first
door of the mill to examine the masonry
work of the foundations, the main shalt,
saw-dust conveyers, Jaz. The foundations
are solidly built, of heavy stones, and the
masonry, on winch rest the binding works
of the gang, is particularly worthy of men
tion. it is sixteen feet square and eleven
feet deep, while the binding works are se
cured by 1.1 inch iron bolts, 11 feet long,
making it all together so Linn and perma
nent that when• the machinery of the gang
is in operation no jarring or shaking is ob
servable. The frame work of the main
shaft across the mill and the binding works
of the big circular are mounted ort brick
foundations, heavily and securely bolted
by 1 foot iron bolts.
Toe design of the lire room is different
front anything of the kind in this section of
th e State ILDIA we believe is the only one
that will prevent, with any certainty, the
outtneak of disastrous tires in this apart
went. This room is built entirely of iron
mod. drick. Railroad iron takes the place
of wood for rafters, upon which a roof is
laid of lire-brick. Three patent ovens are
here located, and in a few days arrange
ments will be perfected so as to feed the lire
gimes with saw dust by a self-feeding ar
rangement front the boiler room above.
The butler room has six boilers thirty
feet long, having, it capacity to drive an en
gine of 12o•horse power.
The engine house is 1-1 by 32 feet. The
engine is 75-horse power, manufactured at
the Locotnutivt3 works, at Lancaster, Pa.
It is placed on a solid foundation construct
ed of heavy oak timbers and boiled with I t
inch iron bolts, which run down cloven feet
through the Ironic work. Tito Ily- wheel of
the engine is 14 feet in duttneter,and weights
7,000 pounds.
Ou entering the manufacturing room ad
joining the erV•itle and tattier rooms, we
loam' the machinery all in operation, and
the workmen as busy as men could ha. In
wrested
as WO Were le see the operations
the machinery, wo intently watched the
routine through which each log has to pass.
A ear wmi sent down to the pool, which, by
means of it friction pulley. Seen returned
with Mar logs. Polling one over to the
Lo g circular, its sides were taken ell' in less
than it minute, then it went ono OW funds

ENCAMPMENT AT WILD CAT.—The e
campment we noticed in our paper of two
weeks ago, is now in progress. We were
wrongly informed as to the encampment
being under the auspices of certain Masonic
Lodges. It is an encampment composed
entirely of Masons; under the management
of a comtnittee compeed of members of
the lodges named. Tha,,,i , ncampinent will
last until Monday, or perhaps a day or two
longer. No Masotti*: Lodge, as a lodge,
can have a meeting of this kind, without
the consent of the Grand Lodge ; but there
is nothing, to prevent any number of Ma
sons having an encampment, and inviting
none but Masons to attend. No one but
Masons wilt be there.
A large number of the Masons are already
at the Falls, and by to-morrow, there will
be a host. The religious services will em
brace music and sermon by one of the Grand
Chaplains. Many of our Columbia Masons
have • already gone, more follow to-day,

Frank Le Barren, convicted at the April
term as one of the persons who committed
a burglary at the residence of Mrs. Rogers,
in this city, was brought into Court. Judge
Long, after reminding the prisoner of the
enormity of the offense he was found guilty

John Bills and Ma ttbias'llaw k were ti ied

where it bad been placed temporarily by
Dr. Alexander Craig, who had it in charge.
The team was recovered at Elizabethtown,
to which place Smith had driven it. A ver
dict of guilty was rendered. The Court
sentenced the defendant to an imprison-
ment of six months on each indictment,
Judge Hayes remarking that a light sen
tence had been imposed in consequence of
the somewhat peculiar circumstance Under
which the team had been driven away.
