The STEAMER CoLUMBIA.-As heretofore
stated in the Gazette, the steamer Columbia
will leave here for Baltimore tonight for the
last time this season, aud, as learned this morn
ing from Mr. Wheat, her agent in this city,
for the last time forever. She does not suit
the present river trade, and will be sold or put
on another route, and her place be probably
supplied BY boat of lighter draught, which
can run up the creeks and make the shallow
water landings. TO obtain such boat Mr.
ing the Colunba visited Wilmington, Del,
last week, but have as yet. made no purchase.
The Washington Nail says: "rhe steamer
Columbia will make her last trip this season
from Washington to Baltimore tonight. The
travelling public will regret to learn that this
will probably be the last trip this favorlte old
steamer will ever make on these waters, she
having been found to draw too much water for
the present trade on the Potomac. She has
now been runuug for over 46 years.. and has
been under the present aud popular captain,
James Harper, for the past IS years, aud who
has been Oh the boat altogether "a years. We
canuot suppress feeling Of regret that the
faithful old boat is to leave Us,
And the scenes that knew her once
Will know her no more forever.
I'VE understand the company intend putting
on a new boat ia the spring, which, both 10 re-
gard to speed and accommodations, Will IN
every respect be suitable for the route.

and heard numerous expressions of hope for
the celebration of their golden wedding =
Cooks band, from Washington, furnished the
music At II o'clock magnificent supper,
consisting Of all sorts OF game and OF oysters,
prepared 10 every imaginable style, was par
taken of with a zest which attested its excel
leuce followed at q. u. by ices, sweetmeats,

Apnl 20 1919.
! En-. JorRNAL - As copiinue nv rambles
called last evening at -Pamsviile, ohio. No
ticed the Temperance League out in force,
going from place topiace, alternately sing
ing and praying. They moved very quietly,
and were courteously treated. This day
called at Eprwalk,- where several ladies en-
tered the cars en- roUie for Cincinnati, to at
tsud the great Temperance Convention. Was
in formed by them, that about oue-balf Of the
saloons in that place were closed, The bal
ancs employed persons 10 act as spies, to TO-
form them when the ladies were about to visit
them. One called " Charlie" was very euer-
getic and worked faithful ly for his employers
who compensated him with what 0h-be joy
ful lie desired. When on his nissisn he
would assume the Rarb Of an errand boy, by go
ing after, or carrying something 10, each saloon.
One day seeing the band coming Charlie in
great haste took large bologna sausage and
lodged into a saloon, when the door was fast
enei. the window shutters closed and doubtless
the occupants had a feast OF the passover, as
the band passed without even hating. As the
train was about starting one Of the ladies
seeing Charlie on the platform ssid to him
she hoped he wonld have a respite from his
labors, for awhile, as they were going to be
absent few days. aud would be happy to find
him fresh and vigorous-ready for duty when
they returned.
April 21. 1t was my fortune or misfortune,
( whichever suits best) To stnp 10 Oak Ha rbor,
Ottawa Co., over Sunday. No excitmeni here
by any Temperance League, or crusaders
against rum Every person seems to be free
and drinks when ard. what lie pleases, and
6ghts as often as he desires. Witnessed two
little seHmma ges, where the heads appeared
light and empty, but the stomachs FULL.
Yesterday Sunday, was a great wedding,
where the guests were MT osiy feasted
on nice frosted, cake but number Of
kegs Of Lager were smpt;ed on that
thrice happy occasion. In the evening the
bridal party took buggy ride on foot about
three miles, 10 a more cummodinus house for
a dance. littls more beer was drank to
make the heart glad which was soon made
manifest in the hesh. and some bl0edy noses.
Ahoihsr kee Of Lager was set up TO wash away
ths difficulties, which seemed to pnduce the
desired effect. and the whole affair wound ny
similar to a QuakerS' meeting, With general
hand shaking &c, &c.

probably no election ever occurred In
Wood county, that came out nearer tie
on all the candidates, than that held at
II lskins on Monday Of last week. There
were seven officers to be chosen, Mayor,
three counCilmen, clerk, treasurer and
marshal. There was seventy-four votes
pole d, and ten out of the fourteen can
didates had thirty-seven votes each, and
the onls difference in fayer of the other
two successful cadidates, two only being
elected, was one majority. The princi-
pal issue was temperance aud anti tenn

by placing the names of the contesting
parties in hat and drawing therefrom.
The anti-temperance party secured the
mayor, and the council came cut equally
divided.
