INCREASING BUSINESS.—Since the re
organization of the Columbia Insurance
Company, and its management by Maj. J.
F. Frueauff, the business h,s been rapidly
increasing. Parties, who had decided to
withdraw their policies upon expiration,
have, upon hearing of its new management,
their policies and expressed confidence in its
quickly regaining its credit.
DrscatacsFut.—On Sunday evening last,
a disgraceful scene occurred on Third St.,
between Cherry and Union streets, which
caused the gathering of a large crowd of
people, and a general excitement in that
part of the town. The disturbance was
caused by a fight between severali,colored
men and women, which raged furiously for
a short time ; when officer Barrick appeared
and arrested the principal participants.
One of the women engaged in the quarrel,
was knocked down by a blow from a man,
and was insensible for a short time ; her
face was badly cut and bruised. Others
were injured nore or less in the affray.
STILL MISSING.—Wm. F. Keepers, who
was supposed to have drowned in the

dark, curly hair, and side whiskers, has a
mild expression and clear tone of voice.
Any information of his whereabouts, will
be thankfully received by his distracted
family and friends, at ?ZOO Coates street.
A reward of §lOO has been offered for his
recovery.
Tan Editor of Towsontown (Md.,) Union
knows how to appreciate his visit to Wild
Cat Falls, during the recent Masonic en
campment there. In the Union of last week
he says :
Our reception at the camp was such as to
give proof positive that we were welcome,
and after a delegation, from Maryland had
been announced, we were greeted in a most
cordial manner by the big hearted and gen -
erous Pennsylvanians, to whom we were
entire strangers. After registering our
names, .L•c., we were introduced seperately
and after the hand of fellowship had been
extended to all we were invited to partake of
some of the refreshments of the camp, Wl3 ich
we did with a keen appetite.
"Wild Cat Falls" is situated on the York
county side of the Susquehanna. and is one
of the most delightful and romantic spots
we have ever visited. We presume its
name is taken from its wild and isolated lo
cation. The stream which composes the
Falls, runs down over the mountain be
tween rocks so high that to look to the top
tires the eye and almost make one's head
dizzy. The water is cool and sparkling
and as it falls from rock to rock from the
top of the mountain presents a dazzling pic
ture of beautyand reminds the observer ofa
miniature Niagara.
After spending the day is a most agreea
ble and profitable manner, at 5 o'clock we
returned to Marietta by way of Wrightsville
and Columbia, and on Monday morning de
parted for our homes all highly gratified
with our visit.
It seems almost invirluous to particular
ize,but at the same time wefeel it our duty to
return the thanks of the party to our friends
Mr. Thos. Wilson, of Wrightsville, and
Messrs. Baur and Mr. Billinger, of York,
for their attentions, and the pleasure afford
ed us in having met their smiling tacos.
t3hould they or any of those with whom it
was our good fortune to become acquaint
ed,ever visit our county, they will please re
member that the latch strings of our doors
are always on the outside for them.

was elected the teacher,(at a salary of $45.00
per month.)
Bills were presented from the SPY and
'ilerrad for advertising, but having been
referred to the Finance Committee, were

THE UNKINDEST CUT OF ALL.—The fol.
lowing from the Herald of Thnrsday, is
certainly the " unkindest cut of all."
We have received a long communication
from Henry .7. Howard, in reference to

Pta LoosE.—A big time in a baggage car
occurred yesterday morning on Lancaster
train east on the Penn a. railroad. Messrs.
Boyer (e; Co., of Parkesburg, shipped a pig,
the box not being well nailed,the pig broke
out. The doors were immediately closed,
and the express agent and baggage master
commenced achase,over the car and through
it, back arid forth, his pigship having the
best of it, having his own time generally.
The musical yells of the pig brought to
their assistance Mr. Robert A. Young, by
whose assistance the truant was caught
and the laughable and comical proceedings
were thus ended.—Coatesville U.71i071..
We understand that the express and bag
gage agents referred to above were Messrs.
W. and D.—the obliging officials from this
place. They had a glorious time with said
Pig.

How TO CARE FOR A PXANO FORTE.—We
publish the following at the request of a
musician " for the benefit of our musical
friends
After the selection of a piano, the next
thing of importance is to take care of it. A
great many really fine instruments are ru
ined by ignorance of carelessness. A good
piano is something to be petted and caressed
and not beaten and abused. It has soul
and feeling, if it is nothing but wood, iron,
steel, brass, felt and lead—and will always
sing you its sweetest songs when gently and
tenderly handled. People often abuse their
instruments, and then abuse and blame the
manufacturer and parties from whom they
purchase for selling them for what they are
pleased to term `• trashy thing." I was
sent for recently to examine a piano that
the owner said he had purchased in Cincin
nati, of Messrs. Smith ez Nixon, and which
was represented by them as being one of
the finest instruments in the world. I
asked him what the trouble was. .de said
it was all trouble.
The keys all would stick when pressed
down ; and the wires and the tuning pins
were covered with rust, and it rattled and
jarred more than a horse-fiddle. When I
reached his residence and examined his
instrument, I found it to be one of Stein
way's Square Grands. He had placed the
the piano against the outside wall of the
room, and had kept it closed and no fire in
the room for the period of one year, (his
daughter for whom ho had purchased it
being absent.) The jarring horse-fiddle
sound he complained of was caused by a
silver table-spoon on the sounding board.
Was Messrs. Steinway Sons or Smith 6;
Nixon to blame for the condition in which
I found his instrument? I think not,—and
all intelligent and fair-minded persons will
agree with me. Had the gentleman known
how to take care of his instrument—and
knowing, done it—he would doubtless have
found his instrument in as perfect order as
when it left the ware-rooms of the manu
facturers.
A piano should not be put too near the
fire, too near a draught with the back of the
window or outside wall ; should not be used
for placing music books, shawls, ect.,
upon; should be closed when not in use,
but must not be kept closed for several
months, or it will cause the ivory on the
keys to turn yellow. Keep IL in tune, and
have it tuned only by a competent tuner ;
and never allow it below concert pitch, (un
less the piano is an old one, in which case
it probably would not bear the strain upon
it ). It should be tuned, at the very least.
three times in the first year, after that,
whenever it requires it. Dampness is ite
most dangerous enemy, causing the strings
and tuning pins to rust, the cloth used in
the construction of the keys to swell, where
by the action will move sluggishly and oft
en stick entirely.
The best pianos, made of the most
thoroughly seasoned wood, are the ones
that are most affected by dampness, the
absorption being greater. When the tone
of the piano becomes " flinty," . it is caused
by the felt on the hammers becoming bard
by constant use, and can be remedied by a
process called "picking up," but should
not attempted by any but a competent, per
son. Any bard substance, no matter how,
small, dropped on the sounding board, will.
cause the piano to have a jarring sound.
The piano should at all times be protected
by a good rubber cover. You should place
a piece of camphor, wrapped in soft paper,
in one of the Inside corners to protect the
felt from the depredation of moths—renew
ing the camphor every three months.

one. Such succ - I is unprecedeated, and
our Columbia Agency leads the van in point
of success. Orders left with H. H. Heise will
receive prompt attention.
LEFT OVER.—We have a communication
from Henry J. Howard which is unavoida
bly crowded out this week.—Mount Joy
Berald.
Poor Watkins I his blubbering ambition
to see himself in print has certainly crazed
his brain. We advise him to try the Man
helm Sentinel, The Mariettian, and the
Highville Cabiiist, or Elizabethtown Trum
pet.
THE. West Chester papers tell of Martin
B. Eshelman, who, while gunning, spied a
squirrel through the thick leaves above
him, "some one hundred and forty feet."
He took aim and fired, " and to his great
astonishment, found that he had killed six
grey squirrels." If it bad been a good day
for squirrels, there is no telling bow many
more he would have killed.
Couxem has passed an ordinance to pre
vent boys from jumping on the cars, as will
be seen in the Council proceedings. The
Chief Burgess should absolutely forbid
" coasting" on Locust or any other of the
streets in town. The other evening Col.
Meyer's team came near breaking loose,
being frightened by one of the small car
riages which the boys were running down
street. It is a nuisance, and should be
abated.

Tyr DECIORATIOI , IS.—An agricultural pa
per states the fact that one of the most beau

dered so by two ivy plants which have been
growing in it, in pots, for three or four
years, and now run entirely round the
room, over the tops of the windows,forming
a border that is beautiful beyond descrip
tion. The same paper remarks that "plants
and flowers may be made to furnish a room
beyond the touch of satin and rosewood at a
small cost." We would remind our readers
that the ivy is one of the few plants that
will thrive welt in the shade. Let our peo

burners now in use, consuming about the
same quantity of oil. The chimneys are
imported, and made of the best flint anneal

can be attached to any lamp now in use,
and, with the trifling expense oft porcelain

A Clear titlo giyen.'
Dear Spy :
I have been trying ever since I arrived to
write you the promised communication,
but my time is so closely occupied, that be
fore I know it the term of school is - nearly
over. We are having a good time—but, let
that appear presently.
After a hot, dusty days travel, I arrived
in New York, and put up at French's.
This is a very good hotel, on the European
plan; you pay for what you get, and you
get what you pay for; everything is clean
and tidy, and the location very convenient.
I spent the evening in Central Park Gar
den, Now York's popular place of amuse
ment. This garden is a perfect fairy growth
—so cozy, comfortable, luxurious, refined
are all its appointments and surroundings.
Theodore Thomas' Superb Orchestra makes
its home here, and. nightly delights appre
ciative ears. This orchestra is the finest
in this country, and there aro but two or
three in the old world that are superior
It is this orchestra that makes Central
Park Garden so popular. The beautiful
music, of the higher order, here performed,
attracts the better class of society, ladies as
well as gentlemen.
I have but one fault to find, and that is
the beer is thin." It is clear and creamy,
and costs ten cents a glass ; but it is very
weak, "powerful" weak. One glass of Lan
caster County beer is equal to five of New
York beer.
The next morning I was careless in stud
ying the railroad time table, and foolishly
took a slow train, on the celebrated Erie R
R. However, the slow time afforded an
opportunity to observe Ihe country as we
passed along, and I must confess I was de
lighted with - what I saw; I say confess
foryou know Lancaster county people are
loth to acknowledge any country superior
to their own.
- - - - _
At Goshen I took a train on a branch road
for. Florida, only I had to wait five hours.
Goshen—how familiar that sounds—
" Land o' Goshen." I can hardly realize
that I have really seen the veritable town.
And by the way it is a very good looking
town, about three thousand population,
two or three imposing churches, two fine
hotels, a convenient, comfortable railroad
depot, and quite a number of elegant resi
dences.
So anxious was I to get to my journey's
end, that I got aboard the first train I saw
getting ready.
I seated myself comfortably, and soon
was absorbed in the pages of Lippincott's
Magazine. As the train began moving I
observed my trunk wasn't aboard, and
that moment it occurred to me, that I had
better ask if that train was going to Florida.
It would have amused you to have seen me
a moment later, hurriedly getting my traps
and `‘gitting out o' that," upsetting a brake
man in the endeavor. That train didn't go
my way. At half past eight, P. M., I
boarded the right train, and a little after
nine arrived at Florida. Mr. Seward, the
Principal of the school, was at the dei.ot
looking out for " Normals;" quite a num
ber were aboard ; he took us in charge and
assigned us quarters. The next morning I
discovered, to my amusement, that the sun
arose in the South. I was told that was
East—but it isn't the East I'm used to.
- . - - -
Orange county is indeed a most lovely
section of country. It is quite hilly, but
the hills are as green as the valleys, and as
fertile. On every side are seen fine lands
and houses, and indications that the owners
thereof have plenty of the where-with-all to
render themselves happy, and are disposed
to use it.
The soil is a slaty lime-stone, very pro
ductive—all kinds of grain can be grown.
The onion receives considerable attention ;
yield is often five hundred bushels to the
acre. With onions at 52 a bushel, I take it
raising that product pays. But the great
product of Orange county is milk—every
body grows milk. It pays better to pasture
the land and raise milk than any other
grain. So extensive is the business that
the Erie It. R. run special trains of cars
built expressly for the trade.
This is:a great country for fast horses ; I
have seen some very fine teams, and for
the enjoyment of fast horses, this section
has the finest natural roads I ever saw;
they are not macadamized, merely repaired
occasionally, the same as ordinary country
roads.
Florida is a very pretty, quiet little town
of about fifteen hundred inhabitants, three
churches, and a few fine residences. The
Seward InQtitute, a school for both sexes,
founded by Hon. S. S. Seward, is located
here. This is the birth-place of that great
Statesman, Hon. W. H. Seward. Several
of his brothers reside here.
And now about our school. A Normal
Music School is a school for the training of
teachers and those who are preparing to
teach; it holds but one session a year. of
six weeks, and at a season, when the great
teachers are at liberty, and consent to leave
their homes and devote their attention to
imparting normal instruction.
Mr. F. F. Seward, editor of the N. Y. M
sical Gazette, is the Principal. Mr. Sew
ard is one of the finest men I ever met, a
highly accomplished, successful Musician,
an earnest, thorough teacher, a perfect gen
tleman and a christian ; altogether he is a
lovely character, and is loved by the whole
school.

If space would allow, I would like to
mention at length each one of our teachers.
I cannot refrain from mentioning that vet
eran Musician, George James Webb, I can
not do him justice, I cannot command lan
guage to praise him. Lie is worshipped by
all.
Dr. Lowell Mason, the Father of Ameri
can music, could not be with us. He was
advertised as one of the teachers, but his
health was so bad that be could not attend.
However, we were not to be disappointed
in seeing his venerable countenance, so a
party of us went to see him. He lives near
Orange, T, on a most lovely country
seat.

he will not live a great while longer. He

As to the pupils, we are a jolly set.
Rather surprising to me. the ladies out
number the gentlemen. Most of the ladies
are handsome, intelligent and "ilirtable."
We are receiving valuable instructions, and
are earnest in our studies, but we don't for
get to be sociable.
School will close Monday, Aug. 29th.
I then go to New York, to attend the U. S.
Musical Congress, to be held Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday . , on which occa

There is much more that I would like to
write about, but I will close. I expect to
be in Columbia , on Friday or Saturday

Gun Punmc SCHOOL}.—Our public
schools will open on Monday. Everything
is in readiness; and the teachers from the
primary departments up to the Principal,
will begin their duties with now vigor, and
life. They have had two month's vacation,
they have rambled in the country, they
have been resting from the labors of last
winter, and they are now better prepared
than ever to assume and fulfil the various,
and often trying duties of the school room.
Good-natured and hopeful, they will not
be "severe" with the "young ideas," but
gently teach them how to shoot.
The boys and girls should all be present.
Go in time, study your lessons well, make
good marks, be obedient to your . teachers,
rival each &her in you'r:studies;attain a
higher grade and rank than you have ever
had heretofore. Help your teachers to
make the Columbia schools the pride of the
county. Go every day, keep up a good re
cord, and at the close of the schools, we will
have the pleasure of publishing a long list
of the names of the meritorious.
[For the SeY.l
The Cotton ,Bather Hoax.
The subject of the controversy between
your correspondents Justice and H. W. G.,
suggests one or two important considera
tions :
First. On the supposition that the letter
in,questio'n is a hoax, it is only one of a se
ries of similar effusions that have been im
posed upon the public, by different writers
within the past few years.
Tue efforts of these facetious gentlemen
to amuse themselves, lathe public expense,
remind me of a passage in Marryatt's tale
of Peter Simple, in which the hero is made
the subject of a practical joke, of a similar
character. When detected in the fraud, the
culprit excused himself by saying, that he
was only joking, to which the plain spoken
Peter replied : "you may call it joking, but
I call it lying." The press should give the
same answer to the writers of these for
geries.
Again. H. W. G. may be technically
correct, in applying the term Puritan to
the authors of the Boston atrocities, for I
believe there is somewhere in Massachu
setts, an organization called the " Old Puri
tan Church," which claims lineal succes
sion from Mather and his associates,and even
in this day is able to furnish a few speci
mens of medieval intolerance and conser
vatism, such as can hardly be matched
outside of Rome or Bokhara.
But this is not the sense in which the
word is understood in Penna. The tt ev.
Albert Barnes, in one of his'admirable dis
courses, speaks of the Quakers as a branch
of the great Puritan family, andithe public
in general, use the word as a general term
for the Congregational churches in New
England.
The New Englanders have always dis
claimed responsibility for the Boston tyr
anny; and trace their origin to the Ply
mouth Colony, an organization which
stands to the Boston usurpation, in the
same relation that Hampden stood to Crom
well, or Lafayette to Napoleon, as the re
public of Moses to the despotisms of David
and Solomon, or as the liberal and progres
sive eras of Washington and Lincoln to the
reaction under Adams and Johnson. We
should becareful to make the proper distinc
tion between the factions of that eventful
era, which followed the first overthrow of
the Stuarts. The persecutions in Boston
resulted from that mischievous attempt to
unite the church with the state, which
caused the first schism between the old
Puritan party, and the more advanced In
dependents, who held to their total separa
tion. This was the party who formed the
Plymouth Colony, and who finally prevail
ed in New Englund, in spite of ,the strenu
ous efforts of Mather and his associates.
S. W. M.
THE DEILOCRACY.—TIIO Democ
racy are almost crazed ,over a rerlutton
recently adopted at a meetitigfof the calarea
citizens of Lancaster city in which they ask
for equal school privileges. Iu order that
the good people of Columbia may see the
whole mote which is in the oyes of our dem
ocratic fellow citizens, we give the resolu
tion entire.
.Resotvcd, That in the future we will only
support such candidates as are most favor
able to our equal educational advantages,to
the beet of our belief; for we are equally
taxed for school purposes. In Lancaster,
we have a separate primary school; and for
white children there are in Lancaster pri
mary, secondary and high schools. We
cannot have equal education for children as
long as such a state of things exist.
That's all. They ask that, as they are taxed
for school purposes,that therefore they have
equal privileges to educate their children in
the same degree; and in order to do this,
they ask that in addition to the primary de
partment cf the schools they have also, a
secondary and a high school. Whether Lan
caster city can utlord to do this is not per
tinent to the question. If they can, no
reasonable white man, no matter how cor
rupt his heart,can deny the justice of it.
"EQUAL SCHOOL PRIVILEGES" Sholl ts
every ignorant "dimocrat." "Equal .School
Privileges" shout the little corner loafers,
who contribute their own share of disgrace
to our to au by their drunken revelries.
"EqUal School Privileges" shout the rank
and tile of the democratic party. Yet what
does it all mean ? The colored people have
equal church privileges (that is, the right
to worship God as they please) but who is
harmed thereby ? As they worship God in
their own churches, so they ask that their
children shall have the privilege of being
educated in their own schools equally as
well, i. e. in an equal degree.
What less than this do the Rowan Catho-
lies ask? What less than this can the col
ored people ask? If the democtacy have
so far progressed in civilization and intelli
gence as to allow that the negro has a soul,
then they must grant - him the means of
preparing for an eternal world. How can
he better prepare himself for the future,
than through the media of education and
religion. Time one is the handmaid of the
other. Deny the one and you destroy the
other. Give these poor, benighted souls an
opportunity to enlighten their race, give
them a school,a primary, a secondary, a
high school, and under God,the nation will
be blessed.
The mechanics and laboring men of this
country are not so ignorant, not so preju
diced, because a human being has 3 dark
skin, that they will deny him, what a free
government has given them, viz: i , ttelli-'
Bence, refinement and the boon of religious
freedom.
Vile and wicked must he be, who, after
he nasseen the shackles of bondage broken,
would love to consign to temporal igno
rance and eternal death, God's creatures—
immortal souls. The copperhead,misnam
ed. democrat, who Would:delight in such a
future for the liberated slave, deserves the
veriest contempt.
No, let us educate these new citizens ; let
us do to them as we do to the tbous•mds of
oppressed of other nations, who come strag
gling to our shores—this Asylum of the op
pressed. White mechanics can show their
manhood by rising above the petty, con
temptible prejudice of rebel politicians, and
concede what, no other government
in the world has given their children, the
privileges of a common school education,
in all its various grades.
The negroes ask no more than the Roman
Catholics—the right, the privilege, and the
means of educating their children in equal
and like degree with the children of other
people. When the copperheads appeal to
the prejudices of the rm•ehanic and laboring
man, they offer them an insult which in
their might they should resent.

Wiro Is IT P—The following from the
Sunday _Mercury needs explanation from
our Lancaster cotemporaries :
An editor in Lancaster invested three
weeks' salary in a gift entertainment, in
the hope of getting the big prize. He drew
a tomato pin-cushion. jewsharp, a nightcap
with a frill on it, six clothes-pins and a
sausage-stuffer. Perhaps ho gushed over
a halt a column in eulogy of the entertain
ment next day! He was the disgustedest
man in Lancaster—about the nightcap es
pecially, because his wife found it in his
pocket, and was half-way round to a law
yer's office to get a divorce before he could
explain.
GONE.—The Summer of IS7O expired yes

at " its taking off." It will long be remem
bered on account of its unprecedented heat,
its terrific thunder storms, and its heavy
record of casualties of sun stroke and light
ning—to say nothing of inauguration of the
most unnecessary and most bloody war of
modern times. Let us hope that the Au
tumn just begun, may make a better rec
ord, and it may continuo throughout to be
as pleasant as it is to-day, that health
and prosperity may be its ruling character
istics in our own land, and that'ere it ter

THE OLD SCHOOL MASTER.—Many of our
readers will recall with pleasure, the inezn
ory of their old schoolmaster and associates,
—their recollections of the dearest inci
dents of life. Re-union with the associates
of boyhood or girlhood days seem like life
lived over again. The other day there was
such a re-union at the " Elysian Fields,"
near the old school house on the banks of
the Brandywine, Chester county. Jobna
than Cause, who has taught the children
of two generations, was the recipient of the
ovations. At this grand re-union, says the
Oxford Press, the aged tutor was sur
rounded by pupils representing two gener
ations, some in the vigor of youfb—others
recalling scenes from over belle century
ago. Several said they .were with him in
the old west Chester Academy, when news
came that peace had been made between
England and the United States, in ISIS.
The day was spent in speaking and recita
tion by teacher and pupils, many acknowl
edging with gratitude their deep indebted
ness to him, whose early instruction, coun
sel, aid and encouragement had led them
to lives of usefulness and honor. Not so
entirely did he aim at the highest possible
attainment of knowledge, but to inspire a
love for learning and ambition to effort,and
to this, perhaps, is attributable his great
success as a teacher.
One of his " boys of twenty," who could
well imitate his master in the art of read
ing, gave the magic power to that " Poem"
by Holmes, and brought a number of other
boys upon the platform, among Whom were
Congresman Townsend, Senator Worthing
ton and Bayard Taylor, who with victori
ous exultation told the school tricks they
had so ingeniously and successfully played
on their good old master. The attentive
veteran, now in his eighty-filth year but
still capable of manoeuvring with the (lex=
trous artifice of his wily boys—told them
he was sorry to discover that those over
whom he had exercised so much care, and
had proudly called his pupils, were becom
ing addicted to telling things that never
happened. And these " boys" soon asked
pardon for their early misdemeanor, and
with gifted tongue, made eloquent by hearts
full of love for their venerated preceptor,
bestowed on him that accumulated honor
well earned by a long life earnestly and
successfully devoted to the cause of educa
tion.
