Orders by mail promptly attended to. ITEMS : A suggestion has been made to sell the City Water Works. Something ought to be done to rid the tax-payers of the city of this drain. A sale would probably be the very thing. The grocery store of D. S. Bursk, in this city, wad entered by burglars on Wednesday night of last week. About seven dollars were taken from the money drawer, while working at which they were discovered by two watch men, who rapped at the door and alarmed them ! The burglars escaped. Jacob E. Lutz, of East Cocalico twp., this County, has received a patent for an improve ment in horse powers. Jacob L. Kreider, of Chestnut Level, this county, has received a patent for improved appliance to hames and means of hitching horses to vehicles. Lieut. T. M. Fisher, of the 23d U. S. infan try, son of Gen. J. W. Fisher, arrived in Co lumbia, on Monday of last week, with his wife, direct from Oregon. He made the trip on the Pacific railroad, from 1.50 miles east of Sacramento City, Cal., in seven days. The number of pupils on the rolls of the Common Schools of this city, during the month of May last, was 2,439—the average attendance 2,091. Samuel Nunemacher, of Reading, a brake man on a freight train of the Penu'a railroad, was instantly killed at Marietta, on Thurs day last, by falling from the cars, while using a low break. A more direct connection is about being made with the North Central railroad at the west end of the Columbia bridge, when it is said the cars will run through between York and Philadelphia, without change. The pic-nic excursions to the beautiful Litiz Spring, have commenced. The hotel of C. H. Newcomer, at the Lan disville railroad crossing, was broken into anti robbed of several articles of value, and a small sum of money, on Wednesday night of last week. A dog at Mount Joy, and one at Springville, were killed a few days ago, having shown symptoms of hydrophobia. George Martin, Esq., ex-Sheriff of this county, died at his residence, in this city, on Friday night last, aged 68 years. Mr. Martin was a widely-known and highly respected citizen. His health had been bad for some months. Buying old bantems for spring chickens is no joke, as a well-known restaurant keeper in this city found out on Saturday last. " Feel of them" next time, John ! A youngster of fifteen, jumped from a top stringer of the Columbia bridge, into the Sus quehanna, a distance of 48 feet, a few days ago, without sustaining any injury. A big leap. The Presbyterian congregation are making arrangements to build a Mission Chapel, in the southern part of this city. A solicitous parent in this city recently sent his daughter to a noted oculist to see if she could be cured of winking at certain male acquaintances she is wont to meet on the street. The small building formerly used by T. & H. Baumgardner, as an office, on Prince•st., near Walnut, was burned by incendiaries early on Sunday morning last. Nothing of much value was destroyed. Mr. George W. Eagle, of Marietta, this county, has purchased a plantation of 740 acres, near Tallahassee, Florida, at $9 per acre. The property is well improved, and the laud is represented to be very fertile. Horace Lebar, a colored barber, formerly of this city, was drowned in the river, opposite Marietta, on Sunday evening. He and two other colored men had crossed the river in a boat, and were returning, when the boat cap sized, anti Lebar was drowned—the other two were rescued by some men in another boat. The party had been indulging too freely iu " tke critter." We regret to learn that Dr. H. B. Bowman, of Neffsville, was stricken with paralysis on Monday last. In consequence of this, he will not be a candidate for Senator as announced. A large number of people went out to Man heim on Monday afternoon, on the free ride invitation of a lot speculator. The number of purchasers were few, however, and but sixteen out of the eighty lots advertised were sold. We judge it didn't pay the lot dealer. Manliebn is improving very fast, and the good people of the ancient borough received the visitors with marked cordiality and hospitali ty. The train returned to Lancaster at 6 o'clock in the evening. The "Columbia Commandery of Knights' Templar" (whew I what a name,) to the number of forty or more, under command of " Eminent Commander" (" long tail our cat's got") Morton, left Lancaster for Erie on Tues- day afternoon last, to attend the "Conclave" at that plaoe.

It occurred to us the other day ou seeing a biped pass our door—that it is a great loss of raw material to put five dollars worth of beaver on ten cents worth of brains. We heard one of our tradesmen the °tiler day complaining of dull business. 'Upon in quiring we found that he did net advertise— and of course the fact accounted for the want of milk iu that cocoanut. Croakers are coming about here again— predicting the corn crop will be a failure. When will these froggish fellows learn to wait. If some of our farmers, instead of devoting their Yields to the raising of wheat, corn and potatoes exclusively, would turn their atten tion to raising onions, tomatoes, cabbages, and other garden vegetables, they would realize double the looney they now do. The prices which these articles have commanded in our market the past year, ought certainly to be a sufficient inducement to make the We are of opinion that a husband can readily foot the bills of s wife who is not afraid of being seen footing the stockings of her husband. THE COIIRT: On Wednesday Henry Esh leman was charged by Sarah Ann Sweigart wife of David E. Sweigart, of Elizabethtown, with Tilt and battery with an attempt to commi a rape. This trial commenced Tuesday afternoon and continued until Wed- nesday afternoon when the jury found a ver dict of not guilty on both charges. Elijah Pugh, was charged with false pre tense. This suit was brought by the Inland Insurance and Deposit Company, more than a year ago, and was tried last August, but the jury could not agree and were discharged. The public are familiar with the details of the case. It came up again on Wednesday afternoon and occupied the time of the Court until about 4 o'clock on Thursday, when it was submitted to the jury. On Friday morn ing they came into Court with a verdict of not guilty—costs divided between the parties. On Friday morning a verdict of not guilty was given in the case of George Shreiner, in dicted for seduction and fornication and bas tardy with Tillie Gravier, the parties having settled the matter. On Saturday morning, John K. Fisher was tried for Felonious Embezzlement, on com plaint of Dr. Jacob Long, of this city, a man ufacturer of " Tonic Bitters." Fisher was 311 agent for the sale of these bitters, and it was alleged that he was not making true returns, and was appropriating the money of his em ployer. The Jury found him guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. The Jurors and witnesses were discharged, there being no other business before the Court. BURGLARIES : There seems to be a nest of burglars about Lancaster, and we are glad to be able to publish that two of the scoundrels have been caught. On Sunday morning last, the dwelling of Mr. Abraham L. Lane, in Manheim township, a few miles from this city, was entered while the family were at church, and about ninety dollars in notes and silver change stolen. A short time afterwards the house of Israel McCleary, half a mile from Lane's, was also entered, and some twenty dollars taken. Two men having been seen on the Litiz turnpike, pursuit was made by Mr. Lane and his brother, and the men were overtaken near the city, and a flight and pur suit began. A man named Adam Fletterer, residing in this city, proved to be one of them, and was overtaken and arrested, after a chase of about a mile. The other held out longer, and was chased by Mr. Lane nearly to Wa bank, where he came up to him, but was too much exhausted to attempt an arrest, and the fellow escaped for the time. Fletterer was taken before the Mayor, admitted the robbery, and gave the name of his accomplice as John Boas, also of this city. Nearly fifty dollars was found on his person. He was committed for trial. Boas was arrested at Harrisburg, on Monday last, and lodged iu jail here on Tuesday. The house of Mr. Levi G. Getz, on the Har risburg pike, was entered on Sunday night, or early on Monday morning, but the thief or thieves were unsuccessful in getting anything except a couple of overcoats, as Mr. Getz was wakened by the noise, and the scoundrels escaped. Mr. Getz had a loaded pistol, but refrained from tiring, for fear that the intru der might be one of his family moving around. 41_4 ; ; ;.; TO THE WORKING CLASS : I am now prepared to furnish all classes with constant employment at their homes, the whole of the time, or for the spare moments.
