A WORD TO OUR READER3.-Since
re-assuming control of the Columbian
we have made no effort to increase its
circulation, depending upon its solid
merits as newspaper,an the unbousht
organ of the entire party of this county.
1t is personally gratifying to us to be
able to state however, that our circu-
lation is steadily and surely increasing,
an evidence that our labors and expense
in behalf Of the organization are not
unappreciated. We are thankful for
this more from a party than personal
reason, because it evinces lively inter-
est in the questions at issue, and unmi5.
takably shows that our friends are fully
alive to the issues at stake the present
year.
AS party we are solid and united,
and feel assured of victory this fall.
Constant and untiring action will see
US successful.
We do not demand that support shall
only be given to us. Read our paper,
and if in useful information, news,
general reading, &C., it is not equal to
others of "the same faith and order"
drop it and take some better one. Keep
protect-frown down diyisions-and
let the people ruo the party, and not a
few self constituted leaders did take
political action.

NEGROES IN POLITIC5.-For several
years past the negroes of the South
have controlled its politics, but the
"tidal wave" is now extending north.
Their organ, newspaper published at
Harrisburg, call our National Progress,
instances the fact that Ohio has sent one
negro to the Republican National Con
vcntion, and insists that the negroes of
this State ought to have at least two, if
not three, delegates. The editor puts
the cause thus:
"Let colorcd men insist upon their
recognition and respect for their polit-
ical power.
"Thc issue must be made, and it
might as we'll be made now as here,
after. Some republicans are saying
wlit!'-and some of them will say so
for all eternity. Colored men respect
yourselves.
In obedience to this demand the Re.
publcans elected colored councilman
in this town last Tuesday o week and
at their State Convention on Wednes.
day of the same week, selected Robert
Purvis, negro, as Il delegate to their
National Convention. Toe the mark

A man in New Jersey, while moving
last week, placed hog in a pen upon a
wagon in such condition that the hog
was compelled to ride backward. When
he reached his destination the animal
was dead, his death being occasioned, it
is said, by the manner in which he was
being conveyed.
The above statement fills us with un.
bounded astOnshment. We have known
of delicate women who could not endure
riding backward but have never heard
OF pig whose nervous organization was
so easily upset. What renders the affair
still more difficult to comprehend is
that the pig was not only made sick but
died from the ride. The fact is we don't
believe it; the pig demised from some
other cause Probably he was not used
to driving aboutand was scared to death
by the condition OF the Jersey roads.

THE forests Of many of our States are
rapidly diminishing, and this is par.
ticularly stated Of the pine forests of
Pennsylvania. For ten years past the
consumption of timber to supply the
numerous saw-mills of Williamsport
alone has been immense. The amount
of logs RATED out OF the boom for the
present season will cut over 215, 100000
feet of boards. 1t is safe to assume that
100000, 900, feet are annually manufac-
tured at Williamsport. live go back ten
years we have the enormous aggregate
of 5000, 600, 900 feet. That this fearful
consumption of the raw material can
continue for many more years is i'm
possible. But the loss of the supply of
lumber is not the only evil result of de.
nuding the country Of forests. Tall trees,
by OBTAINING mists and fogs until they
have time to form rain clouds, exercise
an important influence in determining
the quantity of rain for the year. A
State which destroys its trees will soon
suffer in climate.
