fffrat- jttfctUgwf*. 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: J led like one who treads ulouo Heine dancing hul (Inserted, Wiioh" gueotH are fled, whosegurlandsdead. A_u '■ all hut me departed 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.

Porter, Professor of Natural Sciences in Franklin ami Marshall College of this city, has been elected to the chair of Botany and Zoology jn Lu Fayette College, Fusion Pa. The Professor thus returns to his Alma Mater after an absence of tweuly-six years spent in useful and deep study. Thu institution with which he is now connected, has re cently increased its endowment fund to more than $2(1(1,01)0, this was effected through the untiring exertions of its patrons, the most noble of whom M r. Pardee, of iin/.lo lon, Ims indicated his interest by a pres ent of $lOO,OOO. The Institution is now destined |o rank witii the lending schools of our (’on ul rv. AI ready Ihe curriculum of studies has been rearranged and modeled on the most modern and-scientific plan, many new studies jmvu been introduced, several new Professorships have been crea ted, and tilled with gentlemen of approved learning and reputation; in fact the whole educational basis of the institution has been so adjusted us to secure the greatest amount of good to the student, so as to most en hance the welfare of the College, and so as fco best carry out the designs of her noble patrons. 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 jfyou desire to know who the live merch ants aie u.t this day. 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. The estimated receipts are as follows: Receivable Tax of 81 on 8100 on pro perty valuation of $3,500,000, 835,000 00 Water Rents from Duplicate of 1800, 11,500 uu Water Rent from Ponn'a Railroad, UOU 00 Miscellaneous: ferrules, licenses, tines, forfeits. <Sc.. 200 (X) Market rents lor 1800, including ar rearages of 1805, 8,800 00 Rent ol City Property, -ioj 00 Addition to Tax Duplicates for de fault of payment, mo oo Addition to Water Rent Dupllcato for default of payment, oo 00 Temporary loan at the beginning of the year, ’3,000 00 1 - 854,710 00 And the expenditures aro recommended to be us follows: 1.

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. $•>4,710 56 To Postmasters.— lt is not only made tin* duty of a Postmaster to give notice promptly to the publisher of a newspaper of the nonlifting of a paper by those to whom it is directed; but it has been deci ded by the Courts, that in such a case the Postmaster makes himself liable for tho subscription price.

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 pension shall revert to the minor obildren of Col. Pickett. Ttois being a new feature in pension bills, it gave rise to some debate. Mr. Washburne, 111., moved to strike out the provision. The House, however, rejected the amend ment, mid the bill was passed. The other bills reported and passed contained a simi lar provision. At the termination of the morning hour, the House resumed the consideration of the contested election case of Dodge against Brooks, from the Eighth Congressional dis trict of New York. Mr. Brooks resumed his argument, an additional hour being allowed him. Washington, April 9. Senate. —A joint resolution was passed declaring the words in the line 01 duty, used in the Pension Act, to be applicable to all classes of wounds received when not on furlough or in the commission of some un lawful act. Mr. Morgan presented a bill for the erec tion of warehouses in New York city for the reception of imported goods. Mr. Anthony presented the petition of educational men in different parts of the country for the establishment ol a national bureau of education. Referred to the Com mittee on the Judiciary. Mr. Poland called up the bill to author ize the appointment of three commissioners to revise and consolidate the statutes of the United States, at a salary of 5,000 dollars a year, each which was passed. The loan bill was then taken up on mo 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 unimpared and endorsing President John son for his efforts to restore peace and har mony on that basis. Mr, Sumner, Mass., objected to the pres ent consideration of the above, and it went over. Mr. Saulsbury gave notice that he would call itupon Friday next. A bill to reimburse the Slate of Pennsylvania for her war ex ponses was passed. A bill tograntonehundred thousand acres of public land to uid in constructing a ship canal from Lake Superior to Luc La Belle in tbe State of Michigan was passed. Two thousand extra copies of the Coast Survey report was ordered to be printed. House.—Mr. Chandler, X. Y.,,stated that if he had been present yesterday when the vote was taken on the Civil Rights bill Ik* would have voted in the negative. Mr. Driggs, Mich., stated that he had been called out by unavoidable business yester day, and was übsent but twenty-seven min utes, when he came back the bill was pas sed. Any one who knew him knows that he would not have'dodged the question. If he had been present he would have vo ted aye. Mr. Dawes. Mass., offered a resolution which was adopted, directing tbe Secretary of war to furnish the House with the findings of the commission in tbe case of the awards for the capture of Booth and Harold, Mr. Cuiloin, Ills., from the committee on foreign affairs, reported back two joint res olutions of the Senate, authorizing admiral Paulding and Commodore Win. Radford, to accept decorations from the King of Italy in recognition of their services rendered to tbe frigate Re D’ltalia, which was consider ed ana passed. Mr. Raymond, X. Y., from the Commit tee on Foreign Affairs reported a resolution requesting Jhe President to inform the House what steps have been taken to pro tect the rights and interests of American ' citizens on the fishing grounds udjucent to the British Provinces, and whether any legislation or other action on the part of < Congress is, in his judgment, necessary to 1 secure those rights anil interests in conse quence of the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty of 18l>'>. Mr. Raymond explained the condition of the question in regurd to the fisheries, and the resolution was adopted. DEAFNESS!, BLINDNESS AND CATARRH Treated with the utmost success, by Dr. J.
