Fair for est. Francis HOSPITAL of
Startling Medical Colleges,

1t is well known to the citizens of Column
BUS, that the late LYME STARTLING, ESQ.,, left
a sum of money to establish Medical Col
lege, and Charity Hospital in connection
Herewith, and that a large and commo-
dious building, which is an ornament to our
city, has been erected. The Medical de-
partment thereof has been in successful OPP
Grafton for some years, bringing annually
to Columbus large class of students, and
by this means, disbursing many thousands
ofdollars in the city. Thus, in a pecuniary
| view alone, 1t deserves, and should receive
| the fostering care and liberal support of the
citizens. But the Trustees are about to add
| to the just claims which the College has
| upon the public for generous co-opera-
ti0n, by establishing the st. FRANCIS Hos
PITAL Of Starting Medical College"-an in
stitution which will greatly inure to the
benefit of our community, tor it will be a
Public Charity! where the poor will always
nave preference, and where all are to be re-
celved without question as to sect, age, sex,
color, or worldly condition and to be nursed
and treated medically and surgically, ,oih-
ont money and ,otthout price, save and except
such rs may be voluntarily offered. The
Trustees are only recently enabled to carry
out this benevolent enterprise, because the
Sisters of st. Francis" whose vows bind
their lives to the service of the sick and the
poor, have undertaken to furnish and con-
duct the hospital in the most complete man
ner, and on the most extensive scale that
the rooms and their means will admit. A
large and immediate expenditure will be
required, and the funds must be provided.
In furtherance of this purpose, Fair will
be held about the 2lst of February.
lnasmuch as it is In aid of charity that
will greatly benefit the city, have they not
a right to expect that our citizens will re-
spond with that promptitude and liberdlity
which have always characterized them?-
The advantages and necessity for such an
institution In our midst are so obvious that
there is no need ofargument; and the Trus-
tees and Faculty of Startling Medical Col
lege, feeling assured that the objects of the
trust committed to them will be faithfully
carried out and rendered efficient by tile
arrangement they have made, most cordial
ly commend the Fair and the st. Francis
Hospital to the enlightened and liberal pat
ronage of our fellow-citizens.

OPERA HoUsE-THIRD NIGHT OF "WAIT-
ING FOR THE VERDIcT."-There was anoth-
er large and crowded house last night at
the second performance of that popular and
thrilling play of "Waiting for the Verdict
Tho audience were equally, ana perhaps
more thrilled and delighted than on the first
night of its representation. The character,
in which Mr.. Buchanan appears in this
drama, as Jonathan Roseblade, is so vividly
portrayed, that he seems to be the verita-
BILE old farmer he represents. Mrs. Ellsler,
too, as his daughter, Martha Roseblade, is
equally happy in her personation of the
part. To all, indeed, who assist in the per-
formance must be awarded the need of
high praise for the spirit, animation and
fidelity with which their several parts are
played. In this connection, we must not
omit to mention Mr.. Lewis, whose comic
positions and acting are so perfectly droll
and eccentric as to make everybody laugh,
even at his bare appearance on the stage.
. ''Waiting for the Verdict" will be repeat
ed for the third, and probably the last time
tonight. Those who wish to witness its
excitingly serious, as well as its amusing
comic scenes, should be on hand tonight.
They will see in this play the development
of a plot ofrare and absorbing interest, and
the formal proceedings of a criminal trial
in an English court. 1t isa novelty on the
stage, and contains much valuable knowl-
edge and instruction that can nowhere be
so easily and pleasantly gained as in wit
Messing the performance of this beautiful
domestic drama. We shall look for another
large and full house tonight.

DISTINCTIONS ON THE SIDE WALKS
We observe constant tendency on the part
of a few Of our business men, to block up
the sidewalks in front Of their establish
ments, with barrels, boxes, and the like
in some cases rendering it almost impossi-
BILE for persons to pass, especially ladies'.
One of the worst places of this kind is the
High street sidewalk, in front of the Gro
cery on the corner OF High and Broad
streets. 1t was matter Of impossibility,
almost, for ladies to get by a lot of salt bar
rels that nearly covered the pavement in
front of said Grocery, yesterday, without
climbing over them. This ought not to be
permitted. Whose business is it to look af-
ter such distractions? M "a EHs1

Every fanliIy--in tie country at least
should have them pientltuIly by the first Of
August, and ty taking some pans may be-
gin to use them by the Fourth OF July
The first thing to be considered Is the s0lI,
1t should be comparatively dry and sandy
soil, rather than wet, black lnan. a
fresh, or new sol Is greatly prrfcraoIe---one
recently covered with grass, Or what 81 still
better, scrub oaks sweet fern, blackberry
and hucklebery bushes, Such soil when
welt IlOwcd and narrowed, will bc hight.
and will abound with the alkalicS and aka
line Garth that the potato requires. The
situation selected should be open, but a
warm ene-along the sides Of an old fence
Or wall where the brushes have been grow
ing for half century, or less and exposed
to the morning sun. On such soil and III
such a situation the plants vii! start early
and come to mat urity rapidly; and if the
variety planted be good one the tubcrs
grown will have n sweet and agreeable ha-
vor. Some Of the varieties used tor plant
ing are the jackson White, White Chenan-
go, which come quite ealiy, the Eatly Blue,
and others, BUR- says the ASh-lcaved
Kidney is one Of the earliest varieties, and
that the Early Blue is one Of the earliest
garden potatoes Of fine quality, and one Of
the best for forcing for early corps. II
the ground was not prepared last fall it
should be made ready as soon as the frost is
out, so that it can be plowcd six inches deep,
and potatoes planted.
In order to facilitate the crop some per-
sons set barrel of seed by the kitchen
stove about the middle of March, where
they remain until sprouts have started hall
,,,.h ~, In tls nt
the potatoes must be covered with loan
bushel or two Of seed upon grass grounu,
in some warm spot, and cover them with
horse manure sufficiently deep to keep them
warm. They will sprout rapidly III this
condition if they are kept moist aud warm,
and can bc got out to plant more easily than
from a barrel. Others still who on y re-
quire few, start them in hot beds
Planting should take place just as soon as
the soil is dry enough to permit working it.
Plant, if there is dry surface sufficient to
cover with, even if the frost isa foot deep
below Before planting prepare liberal
holes and fill them with a shovel fell Of
horse-stable manure, Cover this with a
sprinkling Of fre>h damp mould, and = lace
the set" or seed on this and cover three
inches deep. Mr. j. Knight says that if
the "sets" are placed with their leading
buds upwards few and very strong early
stems will be produced; but # the position
be reversed, many weak and later shoots
will arise, and not only the carliress, but
the quality Of the produce, be deprecated,
BY putting the above suggestion in prac
tice every person may expect fine dish 81
nearly ripened potatoes for his Fourth of
July dinner, with his roasted lamb and
green peas, and an abundant supply after
the 10th Of the same month. How can the
farmer add to the comfort and hcalh of
his famly in better way.Ncto England

A Valuable Recipe.

The following recipe for making chow
chow pickle, is said to be the most delight
ful, cheap and palatabe combination, and
the best pickle that can be placed upon the
table: ... ....
Take one large head of slaw cabbage, two
large punches of celery and twelve onions
slice I'LL fine, and salt well. After twenty
four hours, drain well, and cover with vine
gar, to remain twelve hours Then drain
from the vinegar add four red peppers and
two green ones, finely cut up, one ounce Of
tumor'e', quarter pound of mustard seed,
two tablespoonful of mixed mustard, one
spoonful OF allspice, half the quantity of
cloves, one tablespoonful of black pepper,
half cup Of sweet oil, one cup Of brown
sugar; mix all together, and cover with vim
egar; more celery may be used, if desired

EEInts on washing Hands.

Some philosophy is useful in even so
simple IA matter as III washing the hands;
il any one doubts il let her, with a micro
scope examine the surface to be cleaned by
water. and she will be interested, and per-
haps shocked at the discoveries made
Instead of Il smooth surface oi skin, prca
senting when unwashed, dingy appear
ance, there will be seen rOngh, covering
surface, with deep, irregular burrows in
which the foreign particles are deposited
like earth among the rough paving stuiteS
If Il street If they 10y loosely, it would be
an easy matter to disiodge them with u lit
tie cold wateI; but the pores, the waste
pipes of the body, are continually dlscharg
ing into these open drains persplrati0n and
oil, which, BY evaporation become Il cement
TO hold the particles Of dust, etc., ard 10
remove them requires both chemical and
mechanical action. Warm water softcns
this cement, expands the furrows, and
makes The skin pliable, so that by rubbing
the soils is disturbed and partially removed.
But chemistry must aid little before the
process is complete; and soap is added, the
a!kali Of which unites with the oily mat
tiers, and the whole is then easily disposed
OF. The wa>h-cloth is useful because its
threads or fires work down among the fur
rows, like so many little brooms, sweeping
them out hence it should be soft and pa-
ble Flannel is preferable to cotton for this
purpose, and sponge Is best of ALL
Ruugh coarse cloths are Objectionable as
they abrade the skin and leave it rough
and more easily filed with dust than before
Harsh, strongly alkaline soap should be
avoided ter the same reason; it abstracts
all the oil from the upper layer Of the skin
and makes it chap aud crack. y Where a
sponge is not ohtainable, very neat and
serviccahle wash cloth may be knit Of soft
cotton twine either with the crotchet, or
with coarse wooden needles; knitting lnck
and forth as garters are knit. A lnittcn
knit of this with the e. ochet needle is very
hunoly for this purpose, and makes a neat
article for the waSh-stand. A wash rag
will not be tolerated by tidy housekecper
II cloths are used let them be neatly hem
med, and scrupulously clean. Applying a
little vinegar and water to the hands and
face after the use of soap, and rinSing off
the vinegar with clean water, is a capital
process to prevent chapping or roughnesS.
The acid neutralizes the alkala Of SoaK p and
keeps it from destroying the skin. Try
this frequently especially on washing days.
Diluted vinegar or other acid is excellent
for the face after shaving. - Ccrnsomt0wn

Hon. Z. H. Stanton, lKW Dcpnrtment:
The following is taken from to-dAy's
Richmond Dispatch:
THE FALL OF COLUMBIA.
"Colmnbia has fallen Sherman rarch.
ed into and took possession of the city yes.
lerday morning. The intelligence was was con- !:
frmcd yesterday by Gen. Beaurcgard, in
an official dispatch.
'CoIumbia is situated on the north bank
of the Congerce River. iust below the con.
flucnce OF the Saluda and Broad Rivers.
From Bcauregard' $ dispatch, it appears
that, nn Thursday evening, the enemy APP
preached the south branch Of the Cangerel
and threw a number Of shells into the city,
During the night they moved up the river,
and, yesterday morning, forded the Soluda
Rivers. Whilst they were crossing these
rivers on" troops We're under fire. Gen.
Bcauregard evacuated Columbia.
The enemy soon after took possession.
Through private sources, we learn that
two days ago. when it was decided not to
attempt the defence Of Columbia large
quantity Of medical stores, which it was
thought impossible to remove, was destroy
ed. The female employees Of tie treasury
department had been previously sent off to
Charlottesville, ten miles south of Columbia.
We presume the Treasury tclcglaphic cs-
tablishment was also removed, although as
to this we have no positive information.
1.-The fall of Columbia necessitates. we
presume, the evacuation Of Charleston
which we think likely is already i'll process
Of evacuation
1T is impossible to say where Sherman
will next direct Ills steps. The general opin-
ion is that he will 20 to Charleston and es-
tablish n l;ase there; Int we confess we do
not see what need he had for base. 1t is
to be presumed be is subSi>ting on the coun-
try, and he has had no battle to consumc
his ammunition. Before leaving Savannah
he declared his intention to march to Co
hmbia, thence to Augusta, and thence to
Charleston. ..
This was uttered as ooast and to hide
his designs, as We believe, and he will next
strike at Charlotte, which is 100 miles north
of Columbia, on the Charlotte aud Colunl-
bia Railroad or at Florence, S. G., the
junction of the Columbia and Wilmington
and the Charleston and Wilmington Rail
roads, some 80 miles east OF Columbia.
There was report yesterday that Au-
custa had also ccn taken by the enemy
This we do not believe
we have reason to feel assured that
nearly the whole of Sherman's army is at
Columbia. and that the report that Scho
field was advancing on Augusta, was untrue.
From the Wing we learn the Charles
ton lHrcurN of yesterday, announcesa tenn
poraly suspension OF that paper, with Il view
to its temporary removal to another point.
This is rendered necessary by the progress
of military events, cutting it off from the
mails. ....

Mrs. Bushnell has been appointed post
mistress at Sterling. H., on the following
order of the President:
Mr.. Wa>hhurne has presented to me all
the papers in this case, and finding Mrs.
Bushnell as well recommended as any other,
and she being the widow of a soldier who
fell in battle for the Union, let her he ap-
pointed +" A. LINCOLN.
That was glorious order Of Father Abra
ham, We think the President must have
been reading our suggestions in the Ohio
Democrat a few weeks ago, and concluded to
put them in practice. But let the people
now take the matter in hand There is not
town or hamlet in the United States that
has not some soldiers widows who would
make excellent postmistresseS. Let the
towns and villages move in the matter, and
send up petitions to the President. Let
them take votes in their respective localities,
and let the claims of the bercavcd women
be canvasscd, and the papers forwarded to
Washington.
We notice crippled soldiers are employed
in railroad Offices, and other places, and We
think that the government should at least
possess as much liberality as a soulesS cor
poration 1t would turn out of snug places
some very clever fellows, and also some very
mean diSobiging cusscs-the latter probably
predominating. We say enphatIcally, hur-
