Columbia, famous for its rolling mills,
furnaces, etc.-r-tho enterprise of its mer
chants and other business men—the beauty
of its women and the gallantry of its men,
is equally famous for the soirees of its “ Ju
nior Bachelors’ Club,” frequent notices of
which have appeared in these columns.
Last week it was our good fortune to be
present at the last soiree of the season given
by these worthy gentlemen, at the Odd Fel
lows’ Hall. The party, though not so large
as the others which preceded it during the
winter, was, nevertheless, a most happy
and enjoyable affair. Our old friends,
’Squire Young and Mr. D. F. Griffith, mar
shalled the forces with their wonted
and they received efficient aid from
such ‘‘Juniors” as Hess,' Steiger,
Young, Jr., North, Kauffman and Spering.
At 9J o'clock, Keffer’s Orchestra of this city
struck up a grand promenade march, which
wfts performed as only Keller can perform,
4ind until midnight w« were lost in an al
most inextricable confusion of polkas, quad
rilles, Hcliotlischcs und muzourkus. Then
the übiquitous Hinith, not John but “0. 11.,”
(nn ‘‘American citizen of African descent,”)
refreshed the participants with delicious
eo/leo, sandwiches and cheese, after which
until the “small hburs set In” dancing was
kept up. At 2 o'clock quiet once more
reigned supreme, und Moore's beautiful
lines slightly paraphrased would doubtless
express the Janitor’s feelings:

The balance of the night we sought repose
’neath the shades of the “Franklin,” on
Locust street, by odds the best hotel in
Columbia. Mine host Miller is u tip-top
landlord, and all c who stop with him will
readily subscribe to the truth of this asser
tion.
Our visit was one of much interest, and
pleasure, and our “J unior Bachelor” friends
will please accept our thanks and consider
“Cuii's” beaver tipped for their many
courtesies and attentions.

Tu e Lath Hail road Acui dent. —The
Coroner’s inquest on the bodies of Daniel
Finlroek and Hobei t Bingaman, engineer
and fireman, who were killed by the acci
dent on llic Pennsylvania I’nilroad, at lluv
orford street, West Philadelphia, on the
morning oJ lbe-tlh inst., was continued on
Saturday. Two witnesses, employees of
the Pennsylvania lluilrond Company, tes
tified that they considered Win. (5. Young,
temporary switch-tender, competent for
nny duly mi the road to which lie might
have been assigned. At a former meeting,
witnesses had testifieddillorenlly, ThOjury
rendered the following verdict:
“That Robert Hingmmm and Daniel Fin-
Uroek cume to their deaths from the effect
oflnjuries received by the breaking down
of the bridge on the .Pennsylvania Railroad
at'the crossing of Haverlord street, on the
morning of April-Jill, I*oo. From the evi
dence elicited, we are of the opinion that
tho switch was not in its proper place, and
also that the switch-tender, Win. G. Young,
who was temporarily on duty ul that timo,
was entirely incompetent for the duty as
signed him; und we censure the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company for intrusting him
with such an important duty.
The Immoutal J. X. —Mnnyofour reiul
<ers have a lively recollection of tho “lin
morlal J. N.” Free, who has several times
visited oar city and furnished u good deal
ofumusement by his queerities, his “ philos
ophy” and his view of things “from Ills
stand points.'’ Well J. X. hus reached the
fruition oi’liis desires and has been made n
“martyr.” Tho people of Montgomery,
Alabama, with a pitiable lack of apprecia
tion, have turned the cold shoulder on him,
and, worse. An exchange says: The well
known, irrepressible, and always ready-to
bo-martyred J. X. Free somo weeks since
departed for the South, with the declaration
that we should hear oHiim through the
Southern papers; and lo the sunny clime
whispers the important news of his martyr
dom. J. X. assumed the pressureatMont
gomery, Ala.; it was too heavy on the peo
ple; they couldn't see it from that stand--
point, and pelted tho ‘immortal’ with rotten
jeggs, forcing him to leave town.
An Und.en table Fact.—When a innu
gels a few dollars worth of goods, puts them
in a room, and sits down by the side of them
waiting for customers, ho follows pretty
closely the style of some ol our merchants
for past years. He don't advertise—he don't
send «.;it op-cilars— ho'morely waits. Xow,
if a customer comes, lie must pay a large
price for what he gets, because the sales are
lew, and the tradesman must livo out of his
profits. The goods get old and stale, and
customers ulwavs lose money by dealing
with men who do the mud-road, slow-coach
business. Consult our advertising columns

Prompt Payment.--Tlio American
Insurance. Compuny of Philadelphia, ol
which']l. S. Gam, Esq., of this city is the
agent, have already paid the amount of the
insurance, $0,205, upon the life of John
Shuallor, Esq., deceased, to his widow, with
out awaiting the expiration of the 00 daj-s
stipulated. This institution stands in the
front rank of first-class Life Insurance
Companies, and of course is perfectly reli
able in every respect.
Since the above was written, the follow
ing curd has been handed us, which we pub
lish with great pleasure:
We have been authorized l>v the widow
and family of the late John Sheaffer to ten
der their thanks to Hughs. Chira, Agent,
and through him to the “American Life
Insurance Company of Philadelphia,” for
the prompt payment of the deceaseds life
insurance, to the willow by said Company.
Xo better or strouger evidence of the bene
fits resulting from Insurance Companies
generally can be given than the above.
Havk you seen It.— We have a decided
affection for the things of the Kitchen, and
whether for toasting onr shins or our bread
—rousting an apple or a chicken—tho good
.old stove always claims our respectful con
sideration. But unhappily not every fam
ily possesses a stove in which they can place
implicit reliance. Too often when things
should be “ done brown ” they are “ done
black,” and when the greatest amount of
heat is required there is the least obtained,
and all this at a large expenditure of fuel.
Every possible objection is overcome in the
“Burley Sheaf,” anti-dust, air-tight Stove,
lately introduced by Messrs. Stuart, Peter
son & Co., of Philadelphia, and those inter
ested should not fail to examine the beau
ties of this most excellent household com
panion.
Municipal City Coun
cils met statedly in their Chambers, City
Hall, on Tuesday evening lfist* J
In Select Council Mr. Zahm, Chairman
of the Finance Committee, presented the
annual report,'which is as follows:
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITS
To the Select and Common Councils of the
City of Lancaster
Your Committee of Finance and Accounts,
after a careful examination and considera
tion of the resources, liabilities and .pros
pective wants of the Municipal Govern
ment during the present fiscal year, re
spectfully submit for the scrutiny ana ac
tion of your honorable bodies, the accom
panying detailed estimates in connection
with the subject, us an embodiment of their
views, in confidence that, after due delib
eration, your conclusions and their own
will coincide.
The Committee regurd the providing of
meanß to liquidate in the present, debts in
curred during the pust year—una not an
ticipated at the making of the annual ap
propriations, as a duty of tho first import
ance for the welfare and oredit of the corpo
ration; and accordingly an item for tnat
purpose, in the list of expenditures, wilfbe
round under tho to pay temporary
loans.
These debts were occasioned by the ap
pointment and service of a special night po
lice under authority of Councils, from tho
month of September last to the first day of
March in tho present year, at u disburse
ment of $4,403, besides $558 dorived from
fund to pay Watchmen; by u necessary
outlay of $792,118-100 on street repairs, nftor
the meagre appropriation to that object
exhausted ; by tho payment of $2,603.72-100
for new turbine wheel, oroctod at tho Water
Works during the past Summer und Au
tumn, and incidental laborand material, for
which no appropriation had been made ; by
an excess paid of $2,530.07-100 bver appro
priation to Wuter Works, owing chiefly to
the necessity of running the water pumps
by tho steam engine, at a'cost alone tor coal
as fuel, of nearly $l,BOO ; by an allowance
of $lOB towards the cost of construction of
Fust King street sewer; by a donation of
$l,OOO to Union Steam Fire Engine Com
pany for the purchase of forcing hose; and
by an excess of $788.47-100 paid for contin
gencies over that appropriation. All aggre
gating $12,515.04, of which $2,805.64 was
paid witii money in the Treasury, not de
manded for other objects, and the balance
$9,050 by the negotiation of temporary loans,
which at maturity will amount, with inter
est, to $9,915.00.
After calculating and setting apart the
absolute appropriations, the present ina
bility to correspond the others to the in
crease of revenue derivable from taxation
and market rents, demonstrates the fright
fulness of embarrassment, of the reprehen
sible custom in vogue for the pust few years
of voting money in excess, or outside of tho
appropriations adopted at the beginning of
the year—that can only be had by borrow
ing, to lie repaid in the succeeding year ; u
custom, that in the judgment of the Com
mittee, should bo “ more honored in the
breach, than in the observance,” and be
rarely resorted to, and then only when it
could not with safety or prudence be avoid
ed. As a consequence of this system, the
rate of taxation of 1860 had to be fixed ut
one dollar per hundred dollars valuation,
which is the extreme limit allowed by law;
and notwithstanding the additional revenue
that will accrue thereby, no material in
crease of the amounts of any of this year’s
appropriations cun bo made over those of
the preceding one; a matter to be regretted,
but obviously ineupabloof remedy in the
present financial situation.
However, with reasonable economy and
judicious application, the means ut com
mand, it is believed, will suifico l'or ull need
till purposes during the year. A saving in
the expenses of tho Water Department of
some, $5,000 compared with those of last
year, may he expected in this your, from
the idea that no outlay of an extraordinary
character will bo required—such as was
wanted for tho Turbine Wheel, erected last
year; and that the Steam Engine will he
needed but a very short period, if at all.
Should these expectations be realized and
tlie policy be pursued, ol*making each year
provide for itself, the Councils of next yeur
will be enabled to liberalize their appropri
ations, and generally accord them to the
wishes and wants of the community;
the street appropriation, for instance, can
be very considerably enlarged, us it should
be, as doubtless it must be admitted, that
an appropriation double in umount of that
which now cun only be allowed, could be
expended without reaching the most of the
localities, where street improvements aro
needed and desired.
The item of salaries embraces tho com
pensation fixed by ordinances and resolu
tions of all the officials, except the follow
ing named; and those recommended, in
lieu of ordinance provisions, to be severally
received by them this yeur, monthly, as an
nexed: High Constable $400; each of the
four C’ity_Constables, $390; Street Commis
sioner, $-150; NuperintendeVit of Water
Works, $.550; Engineer and Pumper at
Water Works, $500; and Keeper of the Citv
Loek-up, $72.

perty valuation of $3,500,000, 835,000 00
Water Rents from Duplicate of 1800, 11,500 uu

An Otter. —One of the prettiest speci
mens of the Otter tribe we have ever seen
was on exhibition last evening at Groff’s
Cross Key’s Hotel, West King street. It
was killed yesterday by a young son of
Mr. John Wentz on Mr. William Morri
son’s place, near Rawliusvillc, in Martic
township. The boy, who was very much
surprised to see such an animal, was first
attacked by the Otter, and not being able
to master him, called to his assistance a
large dog; and it was only after a severe
struggle, in which the dog was pretty
roughly handled, that the Otter was sub
dued and killed. It measures four feet
from the head to the tip of the tail, weighs
twenty pounds, and its skin is very valua
ble.

Paulding, Rear Admiral of the U. S, Navy,
which had been recommitted.
The bill as reported to-day omitted the
words technically and simply directed the

which by the uniform ruling of the House
does not bring a bill within the rule requir
ing a bill making appropriations to bo con
sidered in committee ol'tne whole. After con
siderable debate as the propt iety of allowing
a naval officer for his expenses in entertain
ing guests on board of vessel, the bill was

lid Pensions made a large number of re
ports, which were acted upon as recom
mended by the Committee.
One of tneso bills is to grant a pension of
$l7 per month to the widow of Col. John
Pickett, 13th N. Y. V., provided that in case
of the death or marriage of the widow the

tion of Mr. Fessenden.
House. —The first business in order was
the call of committees tor reports to be
placed on the calendar. There was no re
port made under the call.
The next business in order was the reso
lution introduced by Mr. Davis. N. Y., on
the 10th of January, and since lying over
under the rules, deolaring that this House
cherishes the most entire confidence in the
patriotism and ability of the President of
the United States in his desire to restore the
Union on the basitf of permanent peace and
prosperity, and that the co-operation of this
House is pledged to him in support of the
general policy of reconstruction, as inaugu
rated by him in the modes authorized by
the Constitution and consistent with the
security of republican institutions. On
which Mr. Raymond, N. Y., was entitled
to the floor.
Mr. Raymond supposed it would meet the
sentiment of the House, as it certainly
would his, to postpone the consideration for
the present. He would therefore move to
postpone till two weeks from to-day. The
motion to postpone was agreed to.
The next business in order being the call
of the States for resolutions, M r - Boutwell
Mass., offered the following: *
Whereas, the President of the United
States did on the 3d day of MaV - , 1565. by
proclamation declare And make kmowp {hat
it did then appearTrom'the eyidence'iu the
bureau of military justice, that the atrocious
- murder of the late Frestdknft Abraham Lin
coln, and the attemptecf assassination of the
W. H. Seward, Secretary ot&tate,
were incited and procured by and between
Jefferson Dayfe, late of Richmond, Vai.ind
Jacob Thompson, ClementC.Clay, Beverly
Tucker, George N. Saunders, w. Clay and
other rebels and traitors against the Gov
ernment of the United States,
And Whereas, the said Jefferson Davis,
n the month of May, was arrested bv the
military forces of the United States ana has
since been held in custody thereof under
the authority of the President of the United
States; therefore be it
Resolved , That the Committee on the Ju
diciary be instructed to inqnre whether
there is probable cause that any of the per
sons named in said proclamation are guilty
as in said proclamation alleged, and if so
whether any legislation is necessary in
order to bring snch persons to a speedy but
impartial trial, ana that said committee
have power to send for persons and papers.
And be It further
Resolved, That said Committee be in like
manner empowered to enquire whether
there is probable cause to believe that said
persons or any of them are guilty of treason
against the United States, and whether any
legislation is necessary in order to bring
such persons to a speedy and impartial
trial In the district where such crime may
have been committed.
Mr. Ruymond, X. Y., offered he follow
ing and moved the previous question :
Whereas, The President of the United
States has by proclamation declared the
insurrection in tne Stute of Virginia at an
end;
And whereas. The reasons which have
hitherto prevented the building of a Court
of the UnUedfStaies’in said State for the
trial of persons charged with treason agulnst
the United States, have been thereby obvi
ated, tberefore.be it
" Resolved, That the President of the
United States De requested to take steps for
tbe upeedy triul of Jefferson Davis, who
has been duly indicted in said State for said
crime of treason, uuless he. shall be with
reasonable dispatch indictecTfor said crime
and put upon trial in some other district
in which he may be legally liable for trial.
Mr. Stevens, 1 hope the resolution will be
sent to the Judiciary Committee to which
the same subject has just been referred.
Mr. Raymond, I understood the resolu
tion referred to be on an entirely different
subject relative to the assassination ofPres
ident Lincoln.
Mr. Wilson, lowa, it covers this also.
Mr. Raymond, X. Y., reasoned for offer
ing the resolution, now, was that there were
rumors of a process being commenced to
release Davis from imprisonment without
his being tried, as I thought it due to Con
gress to nave the subject properly passed
upon.
After a conversation Mr. Raymond with
drew his motion for the previous question,
and the resolution was referred to the Ju
diciary Committee.
Washington, April 10.
Senate.—Mr. Saulsbury. Del., presented
a resolution adopted by tbe Senate in July,
1801, that the whr was conducted to re es
tablish the Union with therightsoftheStates

mony on that basis.

utes, when he came back the bill was pas

olutions of the Senate, authorizing admiral

ed ana passed.

tect the rights and interests of American '
citizens on the fishing grounds udjucent to
the British Provinces, and whether any

Friend, James Bones.
He Nleops, he sleeps the sleep of death,
Our friend from earth is riven;
Gone is that fleeting breath
Which God alone hud given.
How unexpected death may coino,
The deathless spirit fly;
How little kno i we, every ouo,
How soon we too must die.
Sad was his fate, we all do know,
But so too may be ours•
Exposed to dangers here below,
We’re nipped like fragile flowers.
As we are now, so he has been;
He saw what we now see;
He sees what eye bos never seen,
And what the blest shall be.
His loss we mourn, we miss him here,
And many a tear Is shed,
For he the one we loved so dear,
Our Christian friend, is dead.
Oh! could he return once more
What comfort would be given,
What things revealed, unkuown before,
Prepared for souls in Heaven.

INCREASE OF RATS.—The Farmer’s Gazette

pair of HATS will have a progeny and decend
ants not less than 611,050 in three years. Now
unless this Immense family can be kept down,
they would consume more food than would
sustain 65,000 human beings.
