NOTES AKOUND THE TOWN.
TBOUSbU Suggested by Might Stroll
Voice Beard med HighU Seen.
IL
It has beenaid that there arc "voices of
the night," and it is equally true that
there are sights also, even in Colombia.
We recently made a midnight tenr of the
town, jast te learn whether any bights
were te ba seen. We discovered that there
were, of an interesting, if net a startling
character.
On Locust street but little was seen.
The night watchmen and the distant
flielcering of several railroad men's lamps
(it is strange but these lamps can be seen
burning even en moonlight nights) were
the only sights. In Mt. Bethel cemetery
the bright moonlight was thrown back
from the white stones which mark the last
resting place of the dead, and dark shad
ews from the trees, which steed like se
many sentinels doing guard duty, were
thrown in fantastic stretches along the
ground. New we are net particularly fend
of cemeteries and graveyards at night, but
en an alley whieh sheets off from Bethel
street and extends down te the Lancaster
turnpike fronts a graveyard, and this,
we had learned, was the camp
ing ground of a gang of tramps,
whom we desired te inspact. Se thegravo thegrave
yard was visited. We poked our head
through an opening left by an absent part
of the fence and glanced around. Net a
living soul could be seen, but a dreary
sight presented itself. Tlie aged tomb
stones steed leaning at all angles, and
seemed inclined te seek the mother earth,
like these whose graves they marked.
The paths were overgrown with weeds,
and everything ovinced decay and neglect.
At this interesting moment a sound was
heard whieh caused the goeseilesh te
creep rapidly along our spinal column, and
made our hat sit loosely en the ends of
the risen hair. A sigh of relief escaped
us, however, when a solitary Themas cat
was discovered te be the cause of the
alarm. lie had been calling en his
" Mariar." Tew Hill next 1 And what
numerous small alleys and lanes here
abound ; places of evil smell, mauy of
them. The jarring voices and oaths which
issued from a Leuse in one of these lanes
testiQed plainly that all Columbia was net
asleep What ugly, bitter oaths they
were, and new many souls consigned te
perdition by words !
Suddenly rounding the cerner of an
alley we stumbled ever something a
human body. A red streak en the up
turned face leeks like bleed, is bleed, and
visions of a murder rise before our herri
fled imagination. We muster up courage
te feel the pulse, and learn that it has still
a strong beat. Steeping te get a closer
view of the wound, a strong smell of
whisky comes from the supposed victim,
and the wound only proves te be a small
cut, produced by a hard knuckle, doubt
less. After.considerable shaking, the bo be
BOttcd wretch is awakened and told te go
home, but the only thanks received for
kind advice is a volley of oaths. The last
words heard as we march iudignautly
down the alley, is a request te go te a
place where people don't require coats te
keep them warm. During the stay en the
" Hill " we had stirred up packs of hun
gry looking curs, and these wretched
looking creatures dogged our steps until
we departed, barking furiously the while.
Strychnine would release the white resi
dents of the neighborhood from the tor
tures of these pests.
Maner street is en a height, and its long
straight stretch, with the houses plainly
outlined against the sky, presented a
peaceful appearance. The music of an
accordion was heard somewhere in the dis
tance, but as we were after locals and net
music, we did uet hunt up the midnight
or rather very early morn musician.
Frem Maner street down ever hills and
the steep embankment of the Pennsylva
nia railroad, and the Susquehanna rolling
mill is reached. Hew the Arcs in the
etberwise dark mill shine forth. Every
thing leeks larger than it really is, and
the sons of Yulcau seem te be rushing
backward and feiward carrying out the
orders of the old king, in the persons of
the brawny men se busily engaged at
their hard work. If any person tbinks a
rolling mill man tee highly paid for his
labor let him stand for ten minutes in
front of a het puddle furnace ; he will
change his mind en the subject very
quickly.
The Pennsylvania railroad roundhouse
is next visited. The sound of hammers
indicate that night work is going en. The
business of this great read gees en in all
its departments at night, as well as dur
ing the day. The shifting engines in
the yards give their head lights
the appearance of great eyes look
ing about for dangerous places.
The sky has become overcast, meanwhile,
and a storm threatens, and the distant
rolling of heaven's artillery warns us
homeward, A peep is taken into the
bridge which spans the river. I; leeks
like a great tunnel, and a light in the dis
tance only makes mere visible the dark
ness. A glimpse at the dark waters of
the new angry looking Susquehanna, at
the few dimly seen lights of Wrights
ville, en the Yerk county shore, and the
night inspection of Columbia is ever.

Columbia a a Lumber anil Ceal Market.
.III.
Fifteen years age Columbia was the
great lumber market of the lower Susque
hanna as Marietta was of timber. Her
lumber dealers bandied from forty te
sixty million feet of lumber per year in
these days, but de net new handle one
fourth of that amount. Abram Bruner,
' 8r., Geerge Begle, Baehman, Themas &
Martin, Jeshua Vaughen & bres., and
F. S. Bletz were then the heavy local
dealers. The wharves and shores of the
river at this place were lined with raftF,
whieh often formed platforms reaching far
out into the river. The decline of the
business began a few years after the war,
when railroads began branohingeut all
ever the country from the great lumber
markets of the upper Susquehanna, and
better facilities were thus afforded for the
transportation of lumber, than by the
risky system of rafting. Colombia, from
being agreat marfcet whence lumber was
distributed all ever the ceuntiy, has new
become but a supply market for the
smaller towns of this immediate section of
the country.
The prominent dealers of the present are
Abram Bruner & Bre., Bachman & Ferry,
E. N. Smith and F. S. Bletz. The saw
mill and lumber yard of Abram Bruner &
Bre. are located between the river and the
Columbia & Pert Deposit railroad, and
have a frontage en the river of about 900
feet. The saw mill has a capacity for pre
ducing upwards of 5,000,000 feet of manu
factured lumber annually, though the
present condition of the lumbar market
does net require that amount of lumber
being produced new. The shipping facili
ties of the Arm are very superior, a rail
road siding connecting directly with the
mill and lumber yard. They have new in
stock about 100,000 cubie feet of timber,
which will produce nearly 1,000,000 feet
of manufactured material, and about 2,
000,000 feet of lumber.
Bachman & Ferry's extensive lumber
yard aud planing mill are located en the
river shere adjoining the Reading & Cel"
lumbia railroad coal shutes. Over 3,000,
000 feet of timber and lumber is annually
handled by the firm, which has between
$00,000 and $80,000 invested in their busi
ness. The planing mill is frame, and is
100x75 feet and two stories high. The
mill shed in its rear is 75x25 feet, and
le,500 square feet of shedding is provided
for sheltering lumber.
E. N. Smith's lumber yard and planing
mill is located between the lumber yards
of tlie above firms. The mill is a two -story
brick structure 75x18 loot. Twe
ether large frame buildings are used for
storage purpeses. Mr. Smith handles an
nually for himself and ethors about 1,500
000 feet of timber and lumber. Half a
million feet aloue are consumed iu the
manufacture of tobacco cases.
The saw mill and lumber yard of F. S.
Bletz are located en the river shere at the
south cud of town, and his lumber and
timber operations will probably ame'unt
te 1,000,000 feet annually.
The Ceal Tratllc.
What Columbia has lest in tlie lumber
business, is partly compensated for by its
immense coal traffic.
Tlie Philadelphia & Heading railroad
company is justly entitled te head the
list, as it has lecated here ene of its great
receiving aud shipping coal depots. The
coal shutes, basins aud wharves are situa
ted at the feet of Locust street, iu the
rear of the depet, aud fronting en the
river. Hore ware received last year 130,
000 teus of authracite coal, of prepared
sizes, which were shipped te peiuts aleug
the Tidewater canal and te Baltimore and
Havre de Grace. In addition te this, 10,
000 tens were received for supplying Col
umbia aud ether places. Fer transporta
tion purpeses thore aie in the service of
the cempauy ever forty canal beats. Over
one hundred Columbia men receive em
ployment in counection with the business.
Frem 104 te 120 beats are leaded and
shipped every month during the sepeu,
which continues generally nine nientbs
T.ie business here transacted represents a
capital of half a million dollars. The Sus
quehauna coal company's great coal yards
are lecated north of the river bridge, and
cover about two blocks of ground
Mr. II. F. Bruner is the company's
agent here, and has successfully
managed the immense business for
a number of years, having succeeded A. S.
Green, deceased. The business is of
a wbolcsale and retail character. During
the time that the beating season continues
100,000 tens of eal are unleaded Iretn the
beats in which it is brought from the
mines, and from this placa it is distributed
by cars all ever the country. Fifteen
great derrick", five stationery engines aud
fifty workmen are required for the opera
tion of these yards.
At what are kuewn as the Pennsylvania
railroad coal wharves, 00,000 tens of
bituminous coal are annually received for
use en that railroad, the market value of
which, wholesale, is about $210,000.
5,000 tens of 03.il are generally kept in
s tool-.
Filbert & Sen's retail coal yard covers
about two acres of laud aud is located at
Mill street. They de an annual business
of ever 4,000 tens.
Klair & Fasig clese the list with an an
nual business of 1,200 of coal. Their,
yards are located en the river shere, op
posite the Pennsylvania railroad depot.
KDUUATIOJNAI..
The I'ubllc Schools r Celumulii Under I'rer
Amen.
IV.
Prof. B. G. Ames was elected superin
tendent of the public schools of this place
en the 4th of May, 1875, aud consequently
has served in that capacity eight j cars.
At the time of his election he resided at
Bridgeteu, N. J., but immediately there
after removed te this place and entered
upon the duties of his new position.
He found the schools without any or
ganization and without any system of
promotions, pupils oftenbeing promoted te
relieve the pressure of overcrowded rooms.
A reformation of the prevailing disorder
was at once commenced and seen effected,
and a cemplete and rigid system of pro
motions was adopted and maintained.
On account of the character of the gov
ernment previously maintained ever the
schools, there existed very generally a
feeling of nutagenisin en the part of par
ents toward teachers. Under Prof. Ames'
administration this state of things has
gradually changed, until there is new,
almost universally, the fullest cooperation
en the part of parents with teachers in the
work.
The government of the schools has been
changed from a government of ferce te
one of conscience. The red that terror
te evil-doers has very generally given
place te penalties, which are the natural
reactions el conduct, and te appeals te
th.- consciousness of right and wrong, and
the results attained Cave demonstrated
the feasibility of the plan.
Such rules, and only such, have been
adopted, as were found necessary te main
tain the rights of pupils under the condi
tions of school life. Teachers have sought
te make justice or equity their guiding
principle in all the requirements made
upon their pupils in the regulation of
their conduct towards each ether. The
right of every pupil te his time for study
has been recegaized, and no trespassing
upon that right has been allowed. Under
this system of government the morals of
its pupils, as well as the attitude of
of parent toward teachers, has very
greatly changed. Insubordination te the
authority of teachers is rare, and fights
among pupils, which were formerly of
almost daily occurrence, new seldom
occur.
Prof. Ames has adopted no method of
teaching, without first understanding the
psychological law underlying it, aud the
methods tried have invariably been suc
cessful. With regard te spelling, he believes that
the ability te spell well depends upon the
formation of the habit of noticing the
form of new words, and has abandoned
the old practice of requiring pupils te
memorize columns of words from the
spelling book, and has Bought te compel
the formation of the above habit, by mak
ing the correct spelling of every word one
of the tests of a proper knowledge of each
lessen.
The word method has been adopted in
reading, pupils being taught te recegnize
words as objects. The results prove that
this method is based upon true psycholog
ical principles, pupils learning te read
much quicker and becoming much mere
fluent and natural readers than under the
old alphabet method.
In arithmetic the object has been te
avoid all purely mechanical work, and te
give the pupils a rational conception of its
relation of numbers. The great object of
instruction, which is development of mind
and the imparting of knowledge, is ren
dered imperfect when the pupil merely
gees through a study in a mechanical
manner.
The motto of the public schools new is
" net hew much, but hew well," and the
object aimed at is the development of the
power of thought and the power of ex
pression. Thought power is developed by
avoiding all rote and mechanical work,
aud compelling pupils te think, and the
power of expression by constant practice
from the beginning, in the expression of
thought, both orally and with the pencil
or pen.
The superintendent has deveted
almost his entire time te primary
instruction iu the schools as the
basis of the entire system, and has
sought, first of all, te socure absolute
thoroughness in the elementary branches.
He belicvcs that pupils new graduating
from the department are better prepared
te grapple with the problems of life than
theso who graduated from the secondary
department ten years age were. They
think better and express themselves with
greater facility.
During the eight years that Prof. Ames
has been connected with the public
schools of this place perfect harmony has
characterized the relations of school
beard, superintendent aud teachers.
By the adoption of a strict system of
economy, the incidental expenses of the
schools have been reduced ever 50 per
cent, per term, these expenses including
the provisieu et books for indigent pupils,
crayons and blackboard erasers. The cur
riculum which was adepted for the high
school has been attacked several times
through the town papers, but the superin.
tendeut believes that it is entirely suitable
for a high schoeol, and that the studies
there taught are neither tee numerous nor
of a useless character. IIe thinks the
adoption of a lower standard would be
the virtual abolition of a high school in its
truest sense. Toe many schools are called
high schools, when they are ically only
secondary schools. He is well satisfied
with the curriculum of the Columbia high
school, with its undoubted excellent con
(lit inn, and with the teachers in charge
of it.
In conclusion, it may be safely said that
the public schools of Columbia have never
been iu a better or mere flourishing condi
tion than they are at present, and these
results may be attributed te the untiriug
and constant devotion of Prof. Ames in
eharge, assisted by a faithful and efficient
corps of teachers.
Tlie Bliad Fisheries at Columbia.
V.
The shad fisheries of Columbia are all
located below the dam. which spans the
river at this place, and are composed of
ever 35 batteries (a natural or artificial
island or islet) and numerous temporary
stands built of timber.
The batteries are operated by from 3 te
7 men, the seines ued being from 70 te
100 yards iu length. One end of a soine
is always attached te the shere of the
battery when a "cast" is being made,
while the ether is can ied out in a beat
and then swept aieund in a semi-circle te
another point of the battery. The ontire
length of the scine is then closed up
clese te the shere, and the captive shad
there secured. The large meshes of jjhe
seine generally allow the smaller fish te
escape through them.
Frem the temporary stands above re
ferred te, the shad arc caught by processes
kuewn as "dipping" and "scooping." JJy
the former, an outstretched net en two
bone and ciessed poles, which are in turn
attached te a long, heavy pole, are used,
while by the latter process a large bag
like net attached te a long pole, furnishes
all the tackle required for the work. The
life is a hard one, the fishermen generally
working from 3 o'clock a. m., until 7 p.m.
As the season usually opens in the early
part of April and closes June 25th, he is,
during most of the season, compelled te
work in cold water. The effects en the
constitution can easily ba imagined.
The prices paid by dealers te the fisher
men for shad, range from $13 te $35 per
hundred, everything depending, of course,
upon the quality of the fish and the de
mand of the market, coupled with the
quantities being caught.
It is a plain fact that the supply each
year is growing less. Probably the most
productive of the batteries is that belong
ing te the Read Brethers, and located en
the Yerk county Bide of the river. As
many as 17,000 j-had have been caught
in a season, years age, while new only
4,000 and 5,000 fish reward the same
amount of toil and labor. The expense
incurred in keeping the batteries, fishing
stands and fishing tackle in geed repair
is very considerable, and when all these
facts are considered, it will easily be seen
that shad fishing is net the lucrative busi
ness it was ten years age.
