    STAR OF Till NORTE
felooQsburg, Wfdpcsday September 5 1860.
'Oh motion of Robert F. Clark Esq , on
Monday last, Robert S. Howell, ol Espy,
Xraa admitted to the practice of law, iu the
several Courts of Colombia ooumy.
' Coort. 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 i small most of the causes hav
ing either been arbitrated or put off for next
term. A synopsis of ths proceedings will
appear in oar next.
Ornccas to xc Votid for 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 Gover
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 Pa erica On motion of
Robert F. Clark, Esq., of this place, on
Monday last, Wellington H. Ent, 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
State of New York. He is a young 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 22,000, 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.
Bound is an industrious and hard working
farmer. His loss is severely felt.
Columbia County 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 lei the
throng know where they are to bo found,
and what they have for sale. During the
Fair, especially strangers will read the pa
pers carefully, and if iu want of anything
will note any advertisement that may at
tract their attention.
The Columbia County Agricultural Society
announce S25 for tbe fastest trotting horse,
while they 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 lor the improvement
ot the Farmer. Sunbury Gazette.
In looking over the List of Premiums of
fered by the Northumberland County Agri
cultural Society we discover that they
announce $25 for the "best trotting horse,
rnare 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 RepubHcan 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 unintention
ally on Republican grounds ; the party en
gaged in cutting the pole had "leave and
' license" to cut it on the premises of Mr.
Daiiel Shtder, 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 RrpuUican 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 ol steating.
Be cautious, Doc, as you pass that way,
lest the pole might fall upon you.
County Hep.
' The people in thib neighborhood know,
pretty generally .that Mr. J. A. J. Cummings.
of ' Chiilisqoaque, has been engaged, for
acme considerable length of time, in execu
ting a Map cf Montour and Columbia coun
ties ; which, is now completed, and being
delivered to all those who became subscri
bers. ' W have examined it some what
carefuL'y and iound il. 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. The first fault in
this work has yet to be pointed out. The
Map f Northumberland county is said to
be a specimen work, but we think, and we
f are not alone in our opinion, that the Map
of Montour and Columbia is equally as well
executed. Mr. Cummings certainly deserves
a, great deal of credit in getting up these
works, and we hope he will be liberally en
couraged. With one of these Maps a per
son can, in a Tery short time, become ac
quainted with his county, otherwise he may
spend a Ufa time in it and know very little
of it at last. So important is it to have one
' cf thafe local works that we would urge
every citizen of the county to procure it.
The -rits cf this Map is 5, which, consid-

time and place for the meeting ol the Sena
torial Conferees of this District, has been
agreed upon. They will meet in Conven
tion at the Public House of Mr. Brown in
Northumberland, on Monday, the 10th
inst, for the purpose of nominating a candi

OF ALL KINDS,

Cheaper than Ever,
May IP, 1860.
RAYMOND'S FAMILY
S EWI NG MACHINE!
PATENTED MARCH 9, 1858.
I'll ICE $10 EACH.
MESSRS. ZUPPINGER & ROBBINS, of
Bloomsburg, having purchased the ex
clusive right of the above valuable Impro
ved Cheap Patent, Sewing Machine, for
the County of Columbia, will be happy to
supply their friends with the article for the
accommodation of themselves and families.
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 are 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 the
compactness of its mechanism.
4. It can be attached to a board, table or
stand, in operating 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 human 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 tbe
seam will give way.
7. Among the array of Pa'ent Sewing
Machines, there aro none so cheap and
durable as Raymond's Patent, but no Ma
chine is adapted to all kinds of work as
experience has proven. There are perhaps
none so realy useful, doing such a variety
of wore for the immediate use of the fam
ily circle, and at such 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 adapteu to all kinds
of stitchicg such as gentlemen's shirts,
bosoms, ristbands, collars, etc., and all
kinds of ladies', sewing, including silks,
lawns, delaines, calicoes, dusters, etc., ex
cepting for men's heavy wear, this Machine
is rather too light ol construction.
10. But we all admit, that the advantage
lo health, and principally to lh vision or
eyesight, induced by the use of Sewing
Machines, surpasses infinitely all oiher ad
vantages. 21. This Machine fastens the seam al
ways itself, but if the operator wishes it
unfastened or open, there is a way for it
too, thus you can have il fastened or not,
as you please, which is, sometimes, espe
cially for beginners, a very favorable cir
cumstance. If the seam is left unfastened,
yoo 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 pul the Machine in operation and give
all necessary instruction.
