IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS IN COUNCIL.-
At M.- last meeting of C .until on Friday
evening, S. S. Detwiler, Esq., tiered for
the considerations or Council a resolution
praying the Legislature of Pennsylvania, ,
for the passage of an act, to establish an
additional court for Lancaster county, in
Columbia. The court is to have exclusive
jurisdiction in all matters coming before
the various c 'tarts of Quarter Sessions and
Oyer and Tertniuer, from the townships of
Conoy, West and East Donhgal, West
Llemptichl, Manor,and the borougas of Co
lumbia,M arietta,lilizabethtow n and Wash
ington, and also in all matters of appeal
iron] Mode townships and boroughs, all,
also concurrent with other courts of Lan•
caster comity in all mutters before the Or.
pilau's court ielative to estates of persons
dying within the enumerated tern tory.
These courts shall be livid ut kitSl once in
ev,ry three months, and al ninon. Wiener

cers, their remunerat.ou, &c. Illnexthsue
we will give the full text of the tall.
an important movement, and one
which is due Columbia, and this section ul
the county; not only on account of tine
amount of court business from bere t but on
account of the better geographical location
of Colanacht, as a centre. Columbia is easy
of access, either by private or public con
veyance, and we believe this measure will
be a great saving of time and expense.
A similar division into two judicial dis
tricts is made in Cumbria county and
works admirably. The general text of the
proposed law is the same as that of Johns
town, page S9l pamphlet. laws or ISIO.
We will comment more at length upon
this measure when we publish the bill.

CANED.—Our good old friend Robert Ham
ilton was handsomely caned by a lbw of his
many personal friends of Columbia on Thurs
day evening last. About S o'clock some six
or eight persons stepped into his store and
one of the number immediately came for
ward and in a few remarks presented Mr. H.
with a very, handsome silver-headed rose
wood cane, having/engraved on the head,
" Presented to Robert Hamilton by his
friends, Columbia, Penna."
Mr. 11. was so taken by surprise that for
a time he was speechless—something very
unusual for Bob—however he soon recovered
his speech and searched his larder and in less
than half an hour had a fine repast set out
at which all enjoyed themselves until a late
hour. The presentation was all the more
Pleasant as it was an entire surprise to Mr.
Hamilton.
PEnsoNAL.--Some weeks ago our cor
respondent at Lancaster, in one of his eu
teetaininggossippy letters, in speaking of a
concert held there said: "Tho most intoler
able bore was a base solo. and in response
to an encore, the inevitable "Ivy .Green."
Shades of the Naiades and Dryades pr -
serve us from future inflictions of this
sort."
tif course we are not responsible for the
opinions ()four correspondent, (and in this
case cannot say if old "Ivy Green" descry
ed the critici•tu or not,) and to show Prof.
Woodward, or Lancaster, the solo singer
relerred to, that we had no feclin; in the
matter•, wrote a pulite personal note to aim
to that effect, marking it "personal."
The Professor, violating the confidence of
the nose, a confidence which correspond
ence, so nt••rk.•d, always enjoys in polite
circles, published it in t h e Express of
Tuesday evening. We make this statement

"Whither are we Drifting," in Fulton Hall

lievinski's :rnic store.
Bunor.mis.—During Monday night last,
the shoo shop of Mr. Reitzel, on Front
street, was entered and robbed of seven
pairs of new boots. The thieves entered
the adjoining building and secured admis
sion to the shoe shop by cutting a hole in
partition. We hear that a couple of other
places were entered. A good look-out
should be kept for these midnight thieves
and a dose of lead administered them.
TUE subject of seling fruit and vegeta
bles by weight is being agitated at the
West. We would suggest, that the same
policy be introduced into our market, and
that eggs be sold in like manner. Some 01
our farmers complain that their customers
always pick out the largest and leave the
smallest. To prevent that the seller and
not the buyer should count them out ; but
if the seller should pick out the small ones,
the buyer would complain. Buying and
selling by weight is the best way.
DEATD OF A STRANG.EII.—A man who had
been stopping for some two weeks at the
Keystone House, North Queen street, died
there last night. He gave his name as
George W. Brooks, appeared to be about 55
years of age, was well dressed, talked very
intelligently on most subjects, but appeared
to be broken down in health by dissipation,
death probably resultin4 from that cause.
He had been engaged in selling a patent
coloring, fluid used for the purpose of color
ing liquors.
An examination of his effects renders it
more than probable th .t the name 01
Brooks was only assumed by him, and that
his real name was Albert \Vintercamp.--
h is contained a great molly papers
stud letters to that eiroct. Among the pa
ta•rs was a deed for 18,000 acres of land in
Wisconsin, ccnveyed to Albert Winter
camp by Lien ly B. Bunster and has wire
Jane, of Hoboken, New Jersey, in consid
eration of 861,000. He held also a large
number of promissory notes ol various par
ties. aggl egating some thousands of dollars,
but all barred by the statute of

WE invite the intention of our readevs

CHEAP Ft7EL.—Winter holds off wonder
fully. Old fogies inform the public that
there has not been such a December for a
century past—as if they hid been sent to
school with Sir Hutnphrey Davy and Guy
Lussac, and went into business with the
lather of the Isothermal lines.
But nature shares the immutability of its
maker. The cold is sure to come. The
poor are fated to suffer. Poloticians look
out for themselves. A republic is as selfish
as a monarchy. Christ alone saves the
world. The beneficence which remedies
all human distress mast still be private.
Let those who have provided fuel tor their
own hearths remember the empty hearths
and cold stoves of the old, weak, sink, un
forzunate and—philosophers must permit
maid—the improvident and criminal ;
for what are these but the sick in head, or
weak at heart.
Is it not absurd that coal sells at the head
of the Reading railroad tor $2.25, and at the
coal yards in Philadelphia for $7.50? Does
the Reading railroad charge $5.25 for bring
ing coal a hundred miles? \o; only $2.
What becomes of the remaining $3.23.
Will the coal yard retailers enlighten the
public on that head?
A correspondent from Pottsville writes
its : “While you aro lashing the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Company for
stopping work and putting up the prices of
coal, please do no omit to say at which ClUd
of the line the blame lies. We are in favor
of cheap fuel, it has expanded and increas
ed our product 21- millions this year, mak
ing the aggregate some 1G.000,000 tons.
Our operators who run all the risks, be
sides investing largely, should have at
least 50 cents per ton profit. You retailers,
who run no risk and invest nothing, get
the lion's share of the profits.",—Railroad
Morning liegi.ster,
Coal is still at old price; in Columbia, and
this charge against retail dealers does not
hold as far as it concerns Columbia coal
merchants.
Mr. Editor:—On Wednesday evening
last, accompanying several ladies, I went to
the Odd Fellows dal! to listen to the read
ings of John Hart and also the performance
of the ..;Eolians, both of whom by their for
mer renderings and acquirements have
made themselves poimlar with the citizens;
of our town. Anticipating, a crowded
house. we entered the hall inure than a-half
hour previous to tile commencement of the
pertormance, and to my surprise the most
elegiblu seats were all occupied by boys;
and whose conduct on the occaston exceed
ed for rudeness and vulgarity, any other
occasion which I had ever witnessed in our
town. The programmes which wore dis
pArsed over the seats were greedily masti
cated into balls and thrown promiscuously
over the room, much to the annoyance of
the audience present.
I did nut observe that the janitor of the
r;soin made any interference with this vul
gar sport, neither did be make any dissent
to their exclusive occupancy of the tront
seats. It public entertainments are expect
ed to beiVO a relined aud appreciative uudi
once, surely such a nuisance as I have re
*errectto, stiould be abated. Alai perhaps
tt would be well for the trustees Cl the hall
to require some emendation in .the matter.

SoinuE MusioaLu.--The Soirec at the
Columbia Female Institute, R-v. 11. S. Al

was a grand success. The evening - was

A. temporary pi:moral was erected in tho
west end 01 the hall, on which were a piano
and music table. Wreaths of evergreens
and bouquets of flowers relieved the walls,
and I.lthled to We attractiveness of the room.
The eserejnea opened by u piano duet by
Sias Joyce, Illubieui instructess at WO ill
sticutu and Mira Strickler.
The programme consisted mainly of pi
ano solos and duets, interspersed with net
. casional vu al performances. These were
all so well rendered, that we cannot easily
discriminate in our criticism. The young
ladies evinced a degree of musical disci
pline. seldom attained in persons so young.
Misses Annie Purple, Tat itha Chair, Lizzie
and Chellie Armor, Annie Fend, ich, Al
ice Hershey, Bella Strickler, Laura Eber

Haldeman and Barton Evans, were the pi
anists. Misses Laura and Emma I,Villiams

Jacobs sang sweetly in a solo, "The Valley

that Charming song "In her Little Bed we
Laid Her," and Misses Josie and Caddie
Patton closed the exercises AVIUS "Goad
Night and Happy Dreams."
Several choruses SS tirO interspersed
among the solo and duet pertOrmances,
which elicited warm applause.
Altogether the entertainment was a most
pleasant and satistlictory one, we have yet
attended at the Institute. Miss Joyce pre
sided at the piano during the evening.
These exercises will close the fall session
of the institution, one of the tnost. success
ful In its history, The examinations were
held on Tuesday and Wednesday previous
