felootisbuTf, Wednesday Scpttmtcr S, 1S60.
tn motion of Robert F. Clark Esq., on
Monday last, Robert S. Howell, of Espy,
ras admitted to the practice of law, in the
several Court of Colombia county.
' Court. As we go to press Court is still
in session, with fair prospects of lasting the
whole week.- Quite a considerable number
of Commonwealth suits had accumulated,
and some of rather a delicate nature. The
civil list is small most of the causes hav
ing either been arbitrated or put off for next
term. A synopsis of the proceedings will
appear in o?r next.
Omccti to be Votkd roR. The following
is a list of officers to be voted for by the
Electors of Columbia county, at the next
genera! election on the second Tuesday of
October next, Tiz: One person for Cover
nor; one for Congress; one for Senator;
two persons for Assembly ; one for Register
and Recorder ; one for Clerk of the Sessions;
one for County Commissioner ; and one for
County Auditor nine in all constituting
the fall ticket.
Admitted to Phactice On motion of
Robert F. Clare, Esq., of this place, on
Monday last, Wellington H. Ekt, of Light
Street, was admitted to the practice of law in
the several Courts of Columbia county. Mr.
Exr has been previously admitted to the
practice of law in alt the Courts of the
Stat nf New York. He is a voune man of
considerable ability ; destined to become an
able and successful lawyer.
Fire. On Saturday evening last, the barn
of Jacob Bound, was consumed by fire, with
all its contents, in Orange township, near
Orangeville. His entire crop was destroyed,
together with two horses and two cows
The loss is estimated in the neighborhood
of $2,000, more or less. He was insured,
we learn, to the amount of $600. It is sup
posed to be the work of an incendiary Mr.
Bochd is an industrious and bard working
farmer. His loss is severely felt.
Columbia Cocntt Fair. The arrange
ments fcr the County Fair are complete.and
there is no reason why we should not have
one creditable to the county, as well as our
mechanics, manufacturers and farmers.
Let every one contribute some thing, no
matter whether it takes a premium or not
anything to swell the show.
la this connexion we might also mention
that advertisers would find it good policy to
take advantage of the occasion, and let the
throng know where they are to be found,
and what they have for sale. Daring the
Fair, especially strangers will read the pa
pers carefully, and if in want of anything
will note any advertisement that may at
tract their attention.
The Columbia County Agricultural Society
announce $25 for tbe fastest trotting horse,
while tbey offer not over ten dollars for any
other article in their entire list of premiums.
This does not co far to prove that the great
object of this Fair is for the improvement
of the Farmer. Sunbury Gazelle.
In looking over the List of Premiums of
fered by the Northumberland County Agri
cultural Society we discover that they
- announce S25 for the "best trotting horse,
mare or gelding, in harness, open to all
competitors, while not one other premium
offered in the whole list exceeds 8. Now,
how far does this go to prove that the great
' object of this Fair is for the improvement of the
farmers ? The premiums offered by our
Society will compare favorably with any in
tbe State.
The RepubHam of this place seems to be
troubled about that Hickory Pole in East
Bloomsburg. It Stated that 'it is reported
that tbe hickory pole was cut without leave
or license on the grounds of a staunch Re
publican and is still unpaid for." The facts
are these the pole is a spliced one, and
one part of it was cut altogether uninUntion
ally en Republican grounds ; the party en
gaged in cutting the pole bad "leave and
license" to cut it on tbe premises of Mr.
Daiiel Sntder, and they cot sufficiently
acquainted with the "party lines" got upon
Republican grounds and cut part of their
' pole. The Republican friend has been ten
dered pay for his timber, and he very gen
erously refused taking it. These being the
fact in the matter, and the Rrpublkan scarce
ly a stranger to them, but still it would have
its readers believe that the whole pole was
stolen and with a pure intention of stealing.
Be cautious, Doc, as you pass that way,
Jest tbe pole might fall upon you.
Conaty flip.
' The people in thik neighborhood know,
pretty generally, that Mr. J. A. J. Cu minings,
of ' Cbiilisquaque, has been engaged, for
aome considerable length of time, in execu
ting a Map of Montour and Columbia coun
ties; which, is now completed, and being
delivered to all those who became subscri
bers. ' We have examined it some what
carefully and Jound it to be the best local
'work of the kind we ever saw. It is cor
rect, we believe, in every particular, and
gives general satisfaction- Tbe first fault in
this work has yet to be pointed out. The
Map of Northumberland county is said to
be a specimen work, but we think, and we
ere not alone in our opinion, that the Map
of Montour and Colombia is equally as well
executed. Mr. Cnramings certainly deserves
a great deal of credit in getting np these
works, and we hope he will be liberally en--cooraged.
With one of these Map a per
son can, in a very short time, become ac
quainted with his county, otherwise he may
pend a Ufa lime in it and know UtUa
of U at last, So important is it to ha?
of these local works that we would urge
every citizen of the county to procure it.

RAYMOND'S FAMILY
S EW1 NG MACHINE!
patented march 9, 1858.
I'ltlCE flO EACH.
MESSRS. ZUPPINGER & ROBBINS, of
Bloomsburg, having purchased the ex
clusive right of the above valuable Impro
ved Cheap Patent, Sewing ftlacmne, lor
the County of Columbia, will be happy to
supply their friends with the article for the
accommodation ot themselves anu lamiwes.
The following are some of the superior
advantages ibis implement possesses, viz:
1. It sews from 400 to 600 light stitches
per minute.
2. Double thread Machines ate from the
more complicated character of their mech
anism invariably managed and" threaded
with more or less difficulty ; not so with
RAYMOND'S, a child can manage it in two
hours, and it is threaded easier thaa a com
mon needle.
3. One of the mod valuable features of
this Machine, is tbe smallness and tbe
compactness of its mechanism.
4. It can be attached to a board, lable or
stand, in opwraling order, and removed in
less than half a minute.
5. It greatly economizes the thread, and
yet produces a seam, sufficiently strong for
any work for which it is intended, a qual
ification not known to all kinds of Sewing
Machines.
6. No bnman hand is capable of produ
cing a seam so regular and systematic.
Tbe seam is so strong if well done, that the
strongest material will tear before the
seam will give way.
7. Among the array of Pa'ent Sewing
Machines, ihere aro none so cheap and
durable as Raymond's Patent, but no Ma
chine is adapted to all kinds ot work as
expedience nas proven, jnere are pernaps
none so realy useful, doing such a variety
of wore for the immediate use of tbe fam
ily circle, and at snch a moderate price as
RAYMOND'S PATENT. :
8. The operator can shape his seam just
as he pleases, waves, leaves and flowers,
etc., can be represented or imitated.
9. It is particularly ad a plea to all kinds
of stitchicg such as gentlemen's shirts,
bosoms, hatbands, collars, etc., and all
kinds of ladies', sewing, including silks,
lawns, delaines, calicoes, dusters, etc., ex
cepting for men'sheavy wear, this Machine
is rather too light ol conduction.
10. But we all admit, that the advantage
lo health, and principally to the vision or
eyesight,' induced by the use of Sewing
Machines, surpasses infinitely all oiher ad
vantages. 11. This Machine fastens the seam al
ways itselt, Dut ii tne operator wisnes it
uniastened or open, there is a way for it
too, thus you can have it fastened or not,
as you please, which is, sometimes, espe
cially for beginners, a very lavorable cir
cumstance. 11 tbe seam is let t uniastened,
von can draw it out in three seconds and
save the thread.
For sale by the undersigned, at their re
spective residences, in bloomsburg, who
will put the Machine in operation and give
all necessary instruction.
