Death of our s.ROller-Boy.''
We regret to record the death of Horace
Wallace, most worthy and excellent col
ored man, who has been the roller boy in
this Office for many years past. He and
his father (Warren) before him have filled
the same position continuously for nearly
twenty years. We always found Horace
polite, prompt and attentive. He was
honest and industrious and we very much
regret his death. He rolled our first side
off on Tuesday last, and seemed then to
be in good health though complaining a
little But he was stricken down by an
acute attack of pneumonia and died on
Wednesday night.

The cold Columbia
We regret to learn from the Alexand ria
Gazette, that the favorite steamer Columbia
is to be withdrawn from the route between
Washington and Baltimore after this sea-
son. All of our readers have heard of the
cold Columbia" as she was Familiarity
called when we were a boy. Some of our
earliest recollections are associated with
this old boat. We we'll recollect with
what wondering eyes we used to gaze in
our childhood days upon the bright brass
baiusters which led from the main saloon
down into the ladies' cabin. And we have
vivid recollection how in latter days the
bed-bugs used to haul us out of the births
with which each side Of her cabin was
lined. All these are feeling recoileetions
which make US look with regret upon the
departure of this old boat-we had almost
said land mark-but that would not do,
as even in those days she averaged very
nearly three miles an hour before fair
wind. Since the ar the Columbia had
been greatly enlarged and improved in
every way and is now one of the finest
steamers adoat in these waters With re-
greet we bid adieu to her.

Without knowing exactly how to do so,
we feel that in behalf of such of our read
ers as attend that congregation we ought
to thank the ladies for the great zeal and
taste they displayed in dressing and
adjoining Christ Church for the Christmas
festival. We were witness ourself, at a
distance, to their indefatigable industry
in this matter, and we think they fully
deserve the tribute which We thus pay
them. We understand that Piney Chapel
was also adorned with much care and
taste. In addition to this the ladies OF
each congregation presented the pastor,
DR.. levin, with very substantial appre-
citation of his labors and services in the
way of valuable Christmas gift. Assur-
edly woman is Heavens last best gift to

How 1t Was Done.

The election for School Trustee at
the brick School House in Opequon
District, located on the Williamsport
pike, half mile from town, was a
big thing. popular and efficient
Sheriff was one of the candidates. -
The contest waxed warm and close.
Six votes had been polled, and it
stood tie. And thusly it stood for
a long time, when the enterprising
Sheriff skirmished around for anoth-
er vote, and got it, giving him ma
jority. At this juncture, he had the
polls closed, and himself elected to
fill the highly lucrative and response
bic position of School Trustee. His
friends tell this story ON him, and
we desire it to be distinctly under

The Peach crop.

Not for many years has there been
such heavy peach crop as is now be-
ing gathered. The market in Bal
timore ON Wednesday was complete
ly glutted with indifferent fruit, and
hundreds of boxes We're given away
and many more were left ON the
wharves. The Baltimore Commits
sion merchants have held a meeting
ing and prepared a circular letter re-
questing the peach growers to send
no more inferior fruit to Baltimore.
Prime peaches bring reasonably good
prices.

A Novel Idea.

1t is said that a gentleman, we'll
known i'll this city, who is the pos
SCISSOR of the most extensive bald
head in this country, proposes to re-
lieve the bleak bare prospect 10y hav-
ing his monogram painted in colors
upon the bald place. The practice
will, we doubt not, soon become fash
ionable. Those who dislike mono
Grams can substitute landscape OF
photographs of particular friends in
their stead. We know of one or two
gentlemen in the city who have room
for a first-class paporama and a pic
ture gallery.
