ITEMS : A lodge of Knights of Pythias
has been organized at Georgetown, Bart twp.
Joseph C. Stubbs, of Little Britain twp., is
erecting a double-decker barn, 60 feet long by
rig wide. It required one hundred and forty
men two days to place the timbers in position.
The following are the recently elected ofli

A new council of Junior Mechanics has
recently been organized at Mount Joy.
The "Glorious Fourth" was observed in
this city on Monday last. There was no regu
lar celebration, but people enjoyed the holiday
in their own way. Litiz was visited by many
of our citizens, where the usual festivities
were enjoyed. Capt. Rockafellow's companies
of Fencibles had encamped there on Satur
day, and a parade of the military, and several
Councils of American Mechanics took place
during the day. The Spring was illuminated
in the evening, and altogether the good people
of Litiz had a lively time. By the way, would
it not be as well for the credit of the Columbia
and Reading railroad company to provide
something else than open truck cars for their
excursions ? The accommodations on Mon
day night, on the return trip to Lancaster,
were decidedly uncomfortable, and men, wo
men and children huddled together, in the
cold, keen night air, on open trucks,was rather
too much to pass unnoticed. We hope for bet
ter things hereafter.
From the proceedings of the city school
board on Thursday evening of last week, we
infer that we shall soon have a high school
building erected in our city, which will do us
some credit. The treatment of the boys and
girls of the high school by a majority of the
board recently, was a scandal and disgrace,
and we hope some reparation may be made
by erecting a building for them that will
please all.
Mr. Levi Ellmaker, of the Gap, a brakeman
on the Cincinnati express train, fell from the
train on Thursday night last, near Marysville,
Perry county, about six miles west of Harris
burg. His head struck the ground with such
force as to expose the brain. He was not dis
covered until some two hours after the acct=
dent occurred, and was immediately cared for
by the Railroad Company. His recovery is
considered very doubtful.
A son of Andrew Boreman, near Now Dan.
ville, Pequea township, was cut so severly by
a mowing machine on Thursday last, as to
render amputation of the right leg necessary.
The other leg was also much lacerated.
On Alouday afternoon a fire broke out in an
out-building attached to the house of Charles
Knapp, in North Queen street. The firemen
were promptly on the spot, and subdued the
flames before much damage was done.
The candidates had a gay old time at Litis
on Monday. Such a whispering, buttonhol
ing and cotening generally Is seldom seen,
PIT SCHWEFILEBRNNER, Esq., was there,
and for particulars see his letter in this paper.
A Pic-Nic and Free Fight took place at
Rocky Springs on Monday last. Claret of
human vintage—flowed freely, mixed with
any quantity of first quality of lager. The
same thing occurred ou Saturday last at
Heise's woods, near Columbia. Both parties
were celebrating the " glorious Fourth.
Mr. J. B. White has purchased the proper
ty of Abraham Dummy, corner of Charlotte
and Ferdinand streets,
in the borough of Mau
helm, for $1,950. An Episcopal church is to
be erected on the property.
A lad named John Weidler was severely
burnt on Monday by the explosion of a quan
thy of powder which he carried in liks pocket.
Geome Evans, sou of Jacob Evans, had one
of his lingers blown off by the accidental dis
charge of a pistol. Both reside in this city.
Thomas Neidig, sou of Amos Neidig, of the
borough of Washington, this county, was
thrown from his horse, on the 27th ult.. in that
town, and so severly injured as to cause his
death in about three hours.
Now that the warm weather is upon us, a
thorough cleansing and purification of cellars,
&c. should take place. There are a number
of disinfecting agents which will be found effi
cient in removing offensive smells from damp,
mouldy cellars, yards, pools of stagnant water,
decaying vegetable matter, &c. One pint of
the liquor of chloride of zinc, in one pailful of
water, is perhaps the must effective of any
thing that can be used, and when thrown upon
decayed vegetable matter of auy description,
will etiectually destroy all offensive odors.
Three or four pounds of sulphate of iron, (cop
peras,) dissolved in a pailful of water, will, in
many cases, be sufficient to remove all offen
sive odors. Chloride of lime is better to
scatter about damp places in yards, in damp
cellars, and upon heaps of filtb.
H Z. lhloads St Bro., have put up a town
clock, at their new building in West King st.,
this city. It is to be illuminated every night,
after the new place of business is occupied by
the Messrs. Rhoads, which will be in about
two weeks. " Rocky," the mischievous old
bachelor of the .Express very ill-naturedly
says : " It' the married gentlemen who reside
in that section of the city return home late at
night and set up the stereotyped excuse that
they really didn't know what time it was,"
they will be met with that insinuating
"M v dear, did you look at Rhoads' clock ?"
therefore, you see, will not only prove a regu
lator of time, but of good habits also. And
anything that performs two such valuable
functions is a benefit to the community." Oh,
Rocky ! Wonder if "your mother knows
you're out" lato o'nights?
The directors of the Columbia National
Bank have declared a dividend of six per cent.
out of the profits of the last six months, pay
able on demand.
THE FOURTH AT LITIZ : The leading
feature of the demonstration at Litiz was the
American Mechanic's -parade, with over six
hundred members clothed in full regalia, with
numerous flags and banners, and marching
through the several streets of the village to
the music of all sorts of patriotic airs by five
or six bands. The processsou contained mem
bers of the National and State Councils, and
subordinate councils from Lancaster, Colum
bia, Cenoy, Marietta, Mount Joy, Manheim,
Adamstowh, Sinking Spring and Ephrata,
with delegations from Womelsdorf, Reading,
Strasburg and other localities. On arriving
at the Spring, an appropriate weloome speech
was made on behalf of the citizens of Litiz, by
Major Freautl, which was responded to on be
half of the Order of Mechanics by E. H.
Rauch and Col. Wm. Bear, when the several
Councils were dismissed. This was decidedly
one of the most successful local demonstra
tions of the kind ever witnessed in this country.

contain the beginning of the very . interesting
story, "THE ROMANCE OF A RICH YOUNG GIRL,"
by Octave Fuillet, author of "Tan ROMANOE or
A POOR YOUNG M•N," which was OVlnyWir re so
deservedly popular by reason of the singular
interest of its plot, the variety, beauty and
thrilling character of its incidents, the artistic
skill of the style and the healthy tone of its

The election of 'Grant marks an era in the his
tory of the country. The future is full of pro
mise. We stand on the threshhold of a period
of remarkable interest. If the Presidential
campaign awakened a desire for reading and
intelligence, the election of Grant must create
a wish among all classes to be well informed at
every step in the career on which, as a people,
we are about to enter. The people buying elect
ed a President by an unexampled majority,
they will naturally wish to observe him at
every step, know of every event as it happens,
and have an intelligent understanding of men
and things not only in our own country, but
throughout the world.
More than ever now a good newspaper be
comes essential to every man, who would keep
himself informed concerning passing events.
No man can pretend to know what life is or
keep up with even the most moderate compet
itor, without he is the constant reader of a good
newspaper. A good newspaper is the best in
vestment any man can make—a poor one the
poorest. Although established but recently,

THE DAILY COMMERCIAL,
ever since it was established, bas been ahead in
giving the latest, fullest and most reliable news.
It is not too much to say—for it is a common
remark—that locally it bus caused a revolution
in journalism t and it exerts an extended influ
ence on the public mind. Not professing to be
a party organ, and wishing not to be under
stood as the in,strnment of any set, sect or com
bination, yet devoted to the great principles
which have so signally triumphed in Grant's
election, the Course ac IA L aims to be an educa
tor of the public mind, the medium through
which it will find expression, and the advocate
and friend of truth in all things. If it is the
organ of anything, it is of

whom it is a part. As a commercial paper, es
