STABBING AFFRAY.-On last Satur.
day night Daniel Wanich while pro-
ceeding towards his home in east
Bloomsbury, was met by party of
roystcrers, and was stabbed severely in
the hand and abdomen by one of them
named Crawford, We do not know
what provoked the performance of the
act. Crawford we learn has left town.
LAST week an informal meeting of
citizens of Bloom township was held to
make arrangements for securing the cs-
tablishment of n State Normal School
here, in connection with the Blooms
burg Literary Institute. The matter
has been pushed with so much energy
and activity, that we believe we are not
wrong in saying that the success of the
nroject is already secured.
WE are daily in receipt of letters
commenting our course, and eulogizing
the appearance of THE COLUMBIAN.
We seldom publish these testimonials,
but when we do we attach the name of
the writer to prove that they are not
written in our O,cn office, like those some
time since palmed off on the public by
the Repubiicm. This week we publish
communication from Captain Moore,
former editor of The COLUMBIAN,
and whose opinions as a practical prin-
ter, are entitled to weight.
To SPORTSMEN.-A bill has been in
troduced in the Senate for the better
preservation of partridges in this State.
1t provides that the time Tor shooting
them shall after the passage of this
uNl b' iiohi tiN -Dtlol l'tttIIDcT. NluIlN
reasons can be given why this law
should be passed, for unless the birds
are protected by some law Of this kind
and the fine Of twenty-five dollars for
the violation of this act be imposed, the
country will soon be without game OF
this kind:
WE publish in another column the
Prospectus of the Lancaster InteHigen-
Ger. No commendation is needed from
us to any one who has ever seen that
sterling sheet, and to those who have
not we would say that it is one of the
largest published in the United States,
is edited with rare ability, and with a
firmness and tact that justly places it
among the leading papers of the coun-
try. Although published in the Glib
ralter of Radicalism it has never proved
recreant, and we trust will attain Il cir
culatOn such as its merits cntitlc it to.
ECONOMY BEGETS WEALTu.-To
save money and yet to obtain first class
goods is difficult operation as a gencr-

fers his splendid assortment of clothing
at wonderfully cheap rates. There is
no better judge of cloths in this section
of country, nor is there one who better
understands thecutting and making up
of well fitting garments. Don't fail to
stopand see his stock sit is unequalcd
in quality and price. Mr. Lowenhcrg
is known for his courteous treatment Of
any and all who drop in to his establish
ment.
A FARMER writing to Baugh & Sons,
says he used their Raw Bone Phosphate
last spring, and found it to be all its
friends claimed for it-used ii on corn
broom corn, potatoes, strawberries, and
the various kinds OF vegetables, with
the most satisfactory results. Another
one says, owing to the excessive wet
weather his corn did not mature prop,
erly, but he is satisfied where he ap-
piled the Phosphate there was 80 per
cent more corn than where it was not
used. Another used it on eight rOwed
yellow flint corn which he found to be
more large and more prolific than form
crly- the ears being II to II inches long
and three fourths Of the crop showing
II to II rows per car-this land was in
high state Of cultivation and had nev'
er given such results before.
The originals of the above letters may
be seen by any farmer who will cal
upon the manufacturers of Baugh' ) Raw
Bone Phosphate. -
TIMELY ADvICE.-As the spring
thaw is coming, doctors will be looking
for an increase of business. Doctor.
