WEcal attention this week, to the
advertisement of IL. G. Hover, who
has n large assortment of Boots, Shoes,
Hats, Caps and Furs, which he offers at
the most reasonable rates.
We would suggest to our clever CO.
temporary the Sunbury Sentinel that 1t
should occasionally give us credit for
original matter taken from our columns.
Its second editorial last week, was taken
from the COLUMBIAN.
N
WE are informed that Geo. II. Brown,
thepopular landlord of the Rupert Hotel
has sold the same to Mr.. Tubbs of
Shickshinny. We trust the new land
lord will prove to be as accommodating
and efficient as the old one.
SIMON =. KAsE, President of the
Danville, Hazleton and Wilkesbarre
Railroad Co., brought into the Recor-
der's Office in Columbia county
mortgage to Sheppard Knapp and Will
liam l. Greenough, in trust, upon which
there were $4,000 worth of Stamps.

WE call the attention of our readers
to the advertisements Of the sale of the
real estate of Mrs. Rebecca Vanderslice
decd, on the 10th and Goth days of De-
cember inst. The properties are valuable
and desirable, and have not been for
many years in market.
In response to repeated recommen-
dations of the Grand Jury, the County
Commissioners have decided to enlarge
the Court House by building an addi-
ton in the rear. This is a measure of
reform demanded by thepublic interests,
and for the safe keeping of the docu-
ments and records of the County. We
will announce the plan when decided
on.
OUR mail route advertisements will
run out on the 9th of this month, after
which we shall be able to give our usual
amount ofspicy and sprightly reading
matter. Weshall attend to the Radicals,
keep our readers booked up in congress-
ional topics, prepare for the Presidential
Campaign, and keep abreast of things
generally.
On Thursday the 5th inst. Summers
bill to take out the word "white" where
it occurs in the charter of the District of
Columbia, passed the Senate by vote
of30 to 8. Darkies can now be used for
filling jury boxes and holding official
positions, when occasion demands, and
the Radicals think they can afford to
give up anything which pays.
WE are sorry to learn that John p.
Creasyof Fishingcreek township, was
robbed of his pocket book, containing
about seventy dollars,on the evening of
the 2Sth ult., near Ashland, Schuylkill
county. Our friends who take produce
to market in the coal region, should be
careful and not allow strangers to sec
them with money.
ROBERT J. WALKER, who, as Treas
urer under President Polk, won an en-
during fame as a tinancier, has issued
an address to the people of the United
States,urging an immediate resumption
Of specie payments, accompanied by
; vast reduction of taxation. He says
"our present system of taxation is tn
most onerous ever imposed upon an
! people, and it is utterly destructive c
the prosperity of the country"
