A PRODIGY.—In our absence from town on Wednesday, a wonderful vegetable was placed upon our table, with the following note accompanying it : COLUMBIA, Oct. 19th. MA:. YOCUM, • Dear Stir:-1 send to your office a specimen of the product of my gar den. Recently I have been giving consid erable attention to the propagation of vege tables and the development of horticultural science. I have the past summer, during my recreation and leisure moments made some interesting and novel experiments. The specimen before you 'was simply pro duced by the partial separation of the seed but not entirely disconnecting its parts, and the insertion in the " Forsus," of the germ of another seed 01 less vigorous pt °- portion and growth. To the curious and philosophical mind, the vegetable I send you, will prove both interesting and novel. Yours Truly, M. M. S. The personal history of this prodigious vegetable is quite interesting, and any of our readers who are anxious to see a great natural wonder,-are requested m call at this office. Farmer S. has been successful ly engaged in horticultural, philosophical and zoological pursuits; what a happy au gury of what his superior abilities may produce in the near future. The explana tion of the process of propagation and cul ture is remarkably intelligible, and if like causes produce like effects, may not the same system of propagation be extended indefinitely in every department of organ ized matter, so as to produce species and kinds. never before known in the civilized world. We await with true philosophical suspense and resignation toe development of these highly interesting experiments ; made by a mind of untold natural power, strengthened no doubt by his intimacy with the giant intellect of Agassis.

MouyrvlLLE ITEUs —The election on the 11th inst. passed off quietly and sinooth ly; only a little grumbling done by some of the oflice-seekers. We are proud to ac knowledge that it went Dickey in full. On the 6th inst., a depredation was com mitted, by some unknown villains, upon one of our cisizen's hen-co ops, the thieves taking therefrom thirteen fine fat hens ; but what caused the affair to be so exasperat ing to the owner, was cutting off the heads of:the poultry and placing them nicely on a heap beside the coop. We hope that these rascals may be caught in their contempt ible acts, and proper justice done to them. A party of ladies and gentlemen of the I. 0. of G. T., of Columbia, paid a visit to the Good Templars of this place, on Saturday evening, Oct. 15th. After participating in the pleasures and business of the evening, returned to Columbia well pleased with their visit. As we understand,a return vis it will be paid on Tuesday evening, the 18th inst. We have no doubt the same pleasure will be situated as was by our Colum bia friends. The church being built at this place is slowly progressing. It was expected to have been finished by this time; but ow ing to some disappointments on the part of the mechanics, is still unfinished. It's dedication will take place some time in the beginning , of November. The ground upon which the old church stood, was attached to the grave-yard, mak ing it considerably larger, and giving it a better appearance. Great interest is manifested, by our f aye niles, in the gathering of chestnuts, wal nuts, &c. There is a superabundance for all. While the young are gathering nuts, the sportsmen are busy hunting rabbits, squir rels, &c. There is more game to be bad this season than for the past several years. The farmers are almost through with husking their corn—somo having finished already. The excitement among the tobacco grow ers has considerably cooled down, prices daerrased and purchasing entirely ceased. There was considerable of it bought up during the past few weeks.

DEDICAZION.—The dedication of the " Monument" school-honse, situated in Manor turn., about one mile from Mount vile, on Saturday evening„ 22nd inst., provided there In no disappointment by the absence of the speakers. Prof. J. Pyle Wickersham, State Superintendent, and other prominent speakers are expected to be in attendance. It is a fine brick structure, situated in a pleasant grove. The building is a credit to Manor, and au encouragement to the teacher, C. C. Seitz. We have no doubt that our friend Mr. S. will feel proud when he enters upon his duties in his new room ; and we don't wonder, he has spent so many school terms in an old log cabin. We wish him success. A HARRISI3URCh sunday school superin tendent last spring distributed to each member of the school four aernels of corn, with the request that all plant the grains given them, attend the growing stalks, and bring the product to the sabbath school on a day in autumn, to be designated some time during the corn-husking season. The time was fixed a few weeks ago, and a day named. The result was the bringing in of several bushels of the largest and finest specimen ears of corn raised in the county this year ; and a notification that nearly all the balance of the corn raised by the mem bers would be forthcoming by the next Sab bath. The corn is to be sold at an early day, and the proceeds set apart for mission ary purposes. One of the beneficial effects of this corn enterprise has been to pratical - ly instruct the members of the school of the pleasures and blessings of giving to charitable and religious objects from means raised through their own personal exer tions. A Wm:mina Toun.—A short time ago an enterprising couple, hailing from, or near, Middletown, took it into their heads to get married, and to this end proceeded to the parson's chateau, where they were spliced in duo form, after which they started on their wedding tour by railroad, and pro ceeded in blissful oblivion on their way, enjoying the honeymoon hugely, feasting upon each other's love and building air castles as to their future condition and hap piness, never thinking that their day of tribulation was so near at band. Alas that their untold happiness should come to grief so soon ! They had proceeded on their way as far as Lebanon on the Lebanon Salley railroad, when upon consulting the port mounaies it was found that their funds were exhausted, and as the conductor re fused to take them further without stamps, the two unfortunates wore obliged to re trace their way on foot from thence to Mid dletown, where they arrived in due course of time. greatly discomfited, but not dis mayed. INTERESTING.—We are not often called upon to notice an event of so much impor tance to our general readers, as the REGU LAR WEEKLY OPENING Of NEW GOODS AT LIALDEMAN'S POPULAR DRY GOODS STORE. For several weeks past, this firm,has bean receiving large invoices of Fall Goods, and their stock is now pronounced, by those who have examined it, as MOST COMPLETE. Owing to the war in Europe, many kinnds of desirable goods are now entirely out of the market, and others have been greatly advanced in prices. The Messrs. Haldeman made large purchases of Foreign Goods EARLY IN THE SEASON, WHILE THE ASSORT MENTS WERE GOOD AND PRICES LOW, and aro now able to offer to their customers, an unusually handsome stock and without any advance in prices. They make a splendid display of SILKS : SILK Por.t.fxs; PLAIDS, SarrEENa in the new cloth shades; and the best assortment of BLACK SILKS ever shown in Columbia.

TAKE IT EASY.—There is so much truth in the following from the Philadelphia Star that we transfer it entire to our local col- IMBE Americans work too long anti too hard. The people of no nation on the face of the earth make such slaves of themselves as the majority of American business men. From morning until night, and frequently from night until morning, they tug, and toil, and strive, as though every moment not devoted to business were a moment ir retrievably lost. It is not surpi ising there fore, that so few men, comparatively, retire from business with a competency and ro bust health. In securing the one, they sac rifice the other . In memory they are liter ally worn out before they reach the prime of life, and hence the remainder of their lives is a burden to themselves and others. How different the case would be could our business men be taught to realize the healthful advantages of judicious recrea tion. We do not mean a ride behind a a handsome team, or a lounge on the sofa with a cigar as a companion, or possibly somethii g to drink, but a complete un bending of the mind and body from the stern rigidities of business, and the indulg ence in such out-door exercises as will strengthen and invigorate the body while it.relaxes the tension of the mind. Run ning, leaping, quoit-pitching. ball-playing, rowing, or iu fact any of the ordinary harm less recreations of boys and young men can be profitably indulged by men of maturer years. Why should not a man of fifty play ball, or pitch quoits, row a boat; or run a race? There is no sound reason why he should not, unless it be that he is too digni fied for such boyish recreations. or too deeply immersed -in business to give the time they require. What wonder that every other business man in America is a dyspeptic or a consumptive. We can point to a half dozen men who are to-day the very pictures of robust health and vigor, but who ten years ago were going on the two-forty pace towards their graves. They realized their danger, sought pleasant and healthful recreations, convinced themselves that they could not afford to dispense with it, even though business should suffer. They throve as vigorously as their neigh bors, who felt that they had not an hour to spare from their counting-houses and store rooms, and they are to-day stout, strong, bale, hearty and happy men, while their toiling, sweating, struggling-for-a-fortune, rivals ar• either dead or mere wrecks of their former so] yes.

It was witnessed at the West and South, despatches from those sections describing it as it appeared here. LARGE AGRICULTURAL 'WARM:MUSE.— We learn with pleasure that our friend and fellow townsman H.

It will Le about 23 feet front, extending back 80 feet and three stories high. The entire front of the first floor will be an open glass with ceiling fourteen feet high. This is an institu tion long needed, as there is none of its kind nearer than York or Lancaster, and Mr. Heise is the man to manage it. He in tends to keep in stock all kinds of farming implements, machinery, seed die., on com mission usually kept in such stores. /le is also repairing his residence, which which, when finished will compare fayor ably with the new building. AT a meeting of Vigilant Fire Company No. 2, held at their Hall, Friday evening, Oct. 14th, 1670, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : WHEREAS.

Resolved, That as a token of respect to oar deceased companion the Hall and ap paratus be draped in mourning for a pe riod of thirty days.

RICKARDS, Committee MLLE. CIERISTINE Nmssox, the queen of song, is to visit Lancaster in about two weeks, and give one concert under the management of a party of gentlemen, who have made similar efforts with other dis ti, guished singers and artists. Her stay in America is limited to three months, for which time she receives one hundred thou sand dollars, Tickets of admission to her concerts sell at from three to fifteen dollars, according to quality. A cotemporary who has heard her, speaks of the high notes of her voice as very fine, but in the interme diate notes there is an acual thread of harsh ness, and to a critical ear there is a total want of that symphthetic quality which so highly cbaracterizedthe utterances of the true Swedish nightingale. Mlle. Nils son's face will, we think, give quite as much explanation of success as a hearing of her voice. She was well described to us before we arrived as being a beautiful young woman, with the artless innocence of a child in her manners, and an almost angelic goodness in her face. We find her to be, in fact, a tall, squarely-made person, with that com bination which belongs to her nation, of light hair, and a dull, almost a dark com plexion, and having no pretensions to beauty beyond a pair of large and expres sive eyes. But there is something in her face which goes farther toward success in this world than mere beauty; there is considerable intellect, and a very unusual amount of resolution. In that square almost heavy chin there lies a great deal of power, and I fancy Mlle. Nilsson's present position as queen of song is due quite as much to steady persistency and good management as to her undoubtedly fine qualities as an actress and singer. TEACH EPS INSTITITTE.—The teachers in stitute will be held in the Court Rouse in Lancaster city, commencing at 10 o'clock, A. M., on Monday, November 14th, and will continue during the week. The following persons will be present and give instruction : Prof. Edward Brooks, Millersville. Prof. B. G. Northrop, Connecticut. Mrs. Anna T. Randall, New York. Prof. A. R. Byerly, Millersville. Prof. J. V. Montgomery, Millersville Papers will be read by Prof. A. R. By erly, Prof. Edward Brooks, Prof. 13. G. Northrop. Samuel M. Keneagy, M. D., Rev. E. H. Nevin. Essays will be read on th, following sub jects: The Ideal, Teaching History, Early Impressions, Teaching Children to Think, Thoroughness and Progress, Moral In struction, "Then" and •'Now," Require ments of the Teacher, Natural Science in Common Schools. The following subjects will be submitted for discussion : f3hotild studies be arranged to suit the fu ture pursuits of pupils? How should we leech Grammar? How should History be taught ? Means of securing study on the part of the pupils. How can interest In school be secured ? The best way of evok ing thought. How can directors aid in im proving the schools 7 A part of every morning session will be devoted to discussions on subjects per taining to teaching, and to drills In the dif ferent branches, led by experienced teach ers, with the design of giving teachers an idea of how to discipline a class as well as instruct it. A. list of words to be spelled will be sub mitted to the Institute at some suitable time in the session, and a prize awarded to the member that shall prove himself to be the best speller. It is the intention of the Superintendent to offer several other prizes for proficiency in knowledge to be acquired at the institute. It is hoped that the teachers of the county will be present at the opening, engage zeal ously in the exercises,and remain all week. Those will be benefited most that will at tend from the beginning, and will have by far the best chance of taking a prize. The school directors of the different dis tricts will aid their teachers and the insti tute much and consequently benefit their schools by granting their teachers the time and instructing them to attend. Vocal and instrumental music will farm a prominent feature of the proceedings. Let all unite to make this the moat inter esting and instructive meeting ever held in the county. The public are respectfully invited to at• tsnd. Surprise GLCt. At a meeting of the officers and employ. ees of the Penna. Lightning Rod CJ., held at the Franklin House, Columbia, on the evening of the 14th inst., M. S. Clapp, Secretary of the Company, was made the recipient of a neat and valuable gold ;lever watch, upon which were engraved the names of 32 of the employees of the Com pany. The watch was bought of T. W. Moore dr, Bro., No. 1031 Market St., Phila delphia. The engraving was executed by the above firm, which reflects much credit to them as artists. In the midst of the business transactions of the secretary, Mr. P. H. Werntz, of Pottsville, entered the room and addressed the secretary, in the following language : M. S. Clapp, Secretary of Penna. Light ning Rod Co.: I have the honor of being the representative of the good will of the salesmen, foremen and ladder-men from the different stations of the Penna. Light ning Rod Co., this evening. Being one of the youngest on your list of salesmen, I would prefer to have some one more expe rienced to perform this task. .A. few words to you, to comply with the wishes of my friends, and to get the mat ter off from my shoulders is all that can be expected of me. " Time,"says the poet, "is the stuff life is made of." Nature has divided it into seasons and adapted it to man's convenience, in a certain measure, for the various pursuits of life. The season for the business,in which we were engaged, is rapidly drawing to a close ; but before we separate, you will allow me in behalf of the employees of yop Company, to tender to you their profound respects, and present to you a small gift in the shape of a time piece, upon which you will find the names of the friends you hays, added to your list. This yea will accept.a:s a token of respect, and as a proof of a just regard, and a due appreciation of your kindness to us while in your employ. The names of your friends engraved on the lids of that gift, have a warm wish for a happy, long and prosperous life of usefulness for you, and that the day may soon come, in which your business may increase, so that every tick and click of that watch, may indicate a foot of rod on your sales. In behalf of the gen tlemen before you this evening, I will say, if any have failed, or committed an error, take a few moments of that time, and you will perhaps find that it was the only ex pedient to effect a sale and carry on the business. I will now leave you the recip ient of a gift from your humble servants. Mr. Clapp then rose, saying : This is the happiest time of my life, the highest honor and noblest gift that I can receive ; and I am proud to say, the recipient of the rich est gift ever bestowed upon any of the Lightning Rod fraternity. I ,am proud to learn that the five:yeara of my administra tion have been approved of. I hold this gift as an endorsement of my efforts to make the path of tliemen under me smooth and agreeable. I know, gentlemen, the sac rifice you have made. I hope you will now return to your homes and be able to enjoy the comforts of peace and happiness. I again thank you for this token of respect. You will now repair to the dining•rooin and partake of somo wino and. the good things of life. A number of appropriate toasts were then given by Messrs. Green, Clapp, Rex and Goddard. Mr. Mclntosh then gave the following: " Here is to the health and good luck of our employer. -May he live long and prosper." Mr. H. 11. Heise, of Columbia, then gave the following toast: " Here is to our worthy Secretary, may his business increase until the points of his Lightning Rod may equal the stars above us." Prof. Burlsigh, when the wine was pre sented him, remarked that he used it only as a medicine. This evening Brother Mc- Intosh, recovering from a protracted fever needs it, but I do not. The Prof. spoke im promptu for about I 5 or 20 minutes. He believed the "laborer sus worthy of his hire" but it was not the wealth of the Com pany whose representative for this state was made the recipient of the costly jewel to night, that he held up for imitation. It was their energy, their tact, their perseverance —in causing their teams to traverse nearly every county of ;every state in the entire union. In giving to the world the Cable Light ning Rod, they have improved the greatest discovery of the greatest philosopher of the western continent. The assiduous employees should be ani mated by the consciousness that a suitable lightning rod properly erected is a certain, and infallible protection. Every one en gaged in the profession however humble his position is contributing his mite to wards giving greater protection to proper ty—more certain security to life—and far more thorough enlightenment in the most intensely interesting important secular sub ject that can ever claim human attention. Lightning, or Atmospheric Electricity, is the most subtle, the most extended and powerful, and yet when its infallible laws are understood the easiest controlled of all known agencies. By it alone the telegraph operator can flash intelligence from-conti nent to continent in the twinkling of an eye. By the aid of the rod the trained lad der hand can conduct safely and harmless ly away from any building the most terrific discharges of lightning that the Almighty in his infinite goodness has ever collected around this sublunary orb of the illimitable universe. God through the agency of at mospheric electricity has given to man powers that in a former ago would by, even the most profound, have been considered superhuman. It is the Creator's agent in supporting the life of the smallest insects that swim unseen in the water we drink and flit unobserved in the invisible atmos phere we breathe—so it progresses grade by grade throughout animated nature up to man the highest in the scale of created intelligence. Its negative and positive power corresponds to the centripetal and the centrifugal force cf the old astronomers. It moves in harmonious regularity the count less sysFein of worlds that swing with un erring exactness throughout the illimitable universe. Science is the ever faithful hand maid of pure religion. The universal, ceaseless Illimitable power of this invisible agent, is the strongest uninspired proof tho christian can ever have of the omni cient and omnipresent power of the ever adorable Divine architect of the uni verse—electricity is the highest department of science, christianity is the purest source of morals. The lightning rod and the cross are inseparable emblems—just as you be hold these twin soul-inspiring tokens ris ing above the dwellings of men—may you count upon the advancement of the com munity, where they most abound, in their onward progress from the ignorance,the su perstitions, the intolerable and insupporta ble bigotry of the Dark Ages. They de note the onward progress of civilization— the happiest possible condition of society— the greatest prosperity the highest renown and glory of a country. The presentation here to-night offers soul inspiring encour agement to the humblest employee of this vast company. Have you met with the re- i buffs of the ignorant—it was the progenitors of that class of well meaning, over weening zealots who nailed a crucified Savior to the cross. Let not unmerited abuse over dis courage you whenever you hear the clapp ing of hands as you have here to-night you will think of the skill and perseverance of Clapp. And even the humblest ladder hand may yet live to be as thoroughly "guarded arid as affectionately watched." The lightning rod and the cross, the em - blems of science and purity, the symbolic mediators • between Heaven and Earth— may the time speedily come when the in mates of evory home will be cheered by the unfailing equilibrium of the former and the eternal security by the latter, of a blissful immortality.

The Club may feel proud of their early recall to Virginia. We trust they may have a pleasant time. IN response to a notice in our issue of last week, a number of our sportsmen met on Saturday evening last, and organized a society, to be known as "The association for the protection of game in Lancaster county." The following officers were elect ed : President—Jos. U. Black. Vice President—Peter Saylor Tr c asur er —.I ames E. Mifflin Secretary—H. C. Lentz. A paper was signed by all present.to abide by and enforce the Game laws. Gunners will therefore take notice, and not shoot any insectivorous birds or partridges ; nor any ducks on Tuesday, Thursday or Fri day of each week, nor - go shooting, hunting or trapping on Sunday. We will publish an abstract from the game laws next week, giving all the laws relating to game now in force. TIIR LITERARY AND Must SL ENTER TAINMENT on Friday evening by Prof. Hurt and Miss Nellie Johnston was a fine tribute by an appreciative people, to local talent. The ball was crowded, as we have never seen it before, with the most intelli gent and refined of our citizens. Prof. Hart's renderings of choice selec tions, ranging from the grave to the comic delighted the audience, and he was repeat edly encored. His " Moneyless Man." "Barbara Frietchie" and "Joe Hooker at Lookout Mountain" written by our fellow townsman, E. N. Gunnison, fully establish Mr. Hart's powers as an able elocution ist. His " Few Moment in the Mimic World," were irresistibly amusing. To the student of English literature, his ren derings of select portions of Sbakspeare's Hamlet into Pennsylvania dutch were in tensely funny, at the same time displaying in Mr. Hart a remarkable power and ap preciation of this quaint old fashioned dia lect. Miss Johnson was at home in her vocal selections ; her finest pieces were " Flee as a bird," "Put me in my little bed" and "How the gates came ajar." The lust was charming. We also take occasion to refer to the fine poem, "Hooker at Lookout Mountain," written by E. N. Gunnison. It is pro nounced by competent critics as very fine, comparing with Sheridan's Ride, and other standard poems, and far surpassing many which are classed with the literature of the day. THE COLUMBIA. LEIDERIMANZ.—This MOSI.CIII and dramatic association is com posed entirely of Germans. They have been rehearsing a piece called "The Elope ment from the Shoemaker Shop" and bad a semi-public entertainment in the SPY building on last Monday evening.

A small platform and stage had been built at the east end of the room,with taste fully painted back ground, relieved by wings and columns at the sides and orna mental scroll work overhead. A curtain was arranged to rise and fall at the pleas ure of the manager. Tho orchestra was seated at the foot of the stage. The whole had a very pleasing effect. The performance, both the musical and dramatical parts, was very fine. The sing ing by.the members of the Leiderkranz was superior to anything of the kind we have ever beard. The entertainment was a so cial festal occasion after the style of the Fatherland, and the Leiderkranz deserves the highest praise for their success. On one end of the stage was displayed the American flag, on the other the flag of the North German Confederation. The whole affair was a hearty German re-union—a little of Germany in America —and. we enjoyed the entertainment very much. The festivities were prolonged up to a ate hour.

Whose sufferings have been protracted from hidden causes, and whose cases require prompt treatment to render existence desirable: Ifyon are suffering, or have suffered, f•om involun tary discharges, what effect does it produce upon your general health? Do you feel weak, debili tated, easily tired? Does a little extra exertion produce palpitation of the heart? Does your liver, or urinary organs, or yonr kidneys, fre quently get out of order? Is your urine some times thick, milky or Rocky, or is It ropy on settling? Or does a thick scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at the bottom after it has stood awhile? Do you have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels constipated? Do you have spells of fainting, or rushes of blood to the head? Is your memory impaired? Is your mind constantly dwelling on this subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping, tired of com pany, of life? Do yet/ 'wish to be left alone, to get away from everybody? Does any little thing make you start or jump ? Is your sleep broken or restless? Is the lustre of your eye as bril liant? The bloom on your cheek as bright? Do you enjoy yourself in society as well? Do you pursue your business with the same energy? Do you have as much confidence In yourself? Are your spilits dull and flagging, given to fits of melancholy? If so, do not lay it to your Liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless nights? Your back weak, your knees weak, and have but little appetite, and you attribute this to dys pepsia or liver-complaint? Nort, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all capa bie of producing a weakness of the generative organs. The organs of generation, when in perfect health, make the man. Did you ever think that those bold, defiant, energetic, perse vering, successful business men are always those whose generative organs are in perfect health? You never hear such men complain of being melancholy, of nervousness, ofpalpltatlon of the heart. They are never afraid they can not succeed in business; they don't become sad and discouraged; they are always polite and pleasant in the company of ladies, and look you. and them right In the face—none of your down cast looks or any other meanness about them. I do not mean those who keep the organs infla ted by running to excess. These will not only ruin their constitutions, but also those they do business with or for. How many men, from badly cured diseases, from the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought about that state of weakness In those organs that has reduced the general system so much as to induce almost every other disease— idiocy, lunacy, paralysis, spinal affections, sui cide, and almost every other form of disease which humanity is heir to, and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and have doctored for all but the right one. Diseases of these organs require the use of a Diuretic. HELMBOLD'S FLUID EX.TRA.CT BUCHU is the great Diuretic, and la a certain cure for diseases of the Bladder, Kidneys, Grav el, Dropsy, Organic Weakness, Female Com plaints, General Debility, and all diseases of the Urinary Organs, whether existing in Male or Fel:dale, from whatever cause originating, and no matter of how long standing. If no treatment is submitted to, Consumption or Insanity may ensue. Our flesh and blood are supported from these sources, and the health and happiness, and that of Posterity, depends upon prompt use ofa reliable remedy.
