of the States from the Union, and
might work as much harm.

The new Episcopal Church at Coles Creek,
built on the site Of what was so long known as
the "Old Log Church 4" is now finished, except
painting, aud Moreover, despite the fears Of
some, and the hopes of Others is paid jor
1t isa shining example of what energy aud
zeal will accomplish, even when the laborers
are few and poor.
The church was burned on Palm SUNDAY,
April 0 lS76-A vcstry was elected on Easter
Monday, April the II. The corner stone of
the new building was laid May 23 The first
service was held in the church Thanks Civ
ing Day, November 30--and the Bishop of the
Diocese will consecrate the church to It's holy
purposes on Tuesday, May 1871
1t was truly labor Of love- and those who
had the enterprise in hand may fairly be con-
graduated on their splendid success.
T entire cost of the builling is stated at
about $4,000 Ofthis about 800 was from tow
individuals in BIoom-bnrg, and about Si00
from persons at distance.
Regular services are held in the new church,
the Parish being under the charge Of the Rev

also at Dushore and Laporte.

For two weeks past the Court House has been
the scene of considerable excitem nt The oc-
casion of this was the fact that the County Com.
missioners have determined to proceed at once
with the erection Of new prison, and this
brought tn, architects ard contractors in from
all qu,r,ers Several different plan. were sub
mited for the approval of the Commissioners
one hy Mr.. Nosbit of Lewi-hurg, another by
Mr. WetzH OF Daoviile, another by Mr.. Price
of Wilkes Barre, and another by gentleman
from Montrose. Each Of hes, presented attrac-
tive features, and as the originator explained
the different point of his plan, each one seemed
| to be the best The Commissioner, however,
were unable to agree, and for the purpose of as
sistng them in their decision number Of me-
chanics and beiders were called together on
| Friday last to examine the several plans and
express their views AS to which was the best for
the purposes of Columbia county. The commit
tee voted in favor of Mr. Wetzel By ballot Of
seven, to one for Mr. Price. This decision was
not adopted by the board of Commissioners,
some of them alleging that they knew nothing
about such a committee, and had no voice in
the selection of it, ard therefore would not be
governed by its report. Up to this time Thurs
day. no plan has been adopted, but the Com
missioners will meet next Monday and it is
| likely that the question will be settled at that
| time

Respectfully yours
- n TANrNrr rn.b;n,

An Ashland boy was sent to Centrala to
look for work, and not finding employment he
returned home, where he was stripped naked
by his parents, his hands tied behind his back,
while his father with an iron poker aud his
mother with leather strap which had a buckle
at the end of it, beat him until the blood ran
down upo the floor and pieces of the boys
bleeding flesh stuck to the poker and the strap,
Some Of the neighbors, in response to the
screams of the lad, forced an entrance into the
house and compelled the parents to desist from
the brutal treatment of their child. A whip
ping post, with hundred lashes on the bare
back, would scarcely be adequate punishment
for such fends in human shape as these

Cards are still played at the White House
though the allurements of drawpoker play
ed with all its pristine lerocty do not fa,ci-
nate our pastoral President, who delights
rather in the more innocent excitement Of
"old maid" and "beggar my neighbor."
The other evening they were making up a
party, but had only secured three players,
when one of their number called heedlessly
and perhaps innocently to Mr.. Hayes (;
"Mr, Hayes, shall we count you in?" An
awkward silence succeeded, and Mr.. Hayes
turned as red as fire, but Mr., Schurz seated
himself at the piano and played some selec-
tions from the "Battle of Prague" and di-
verted the attention Of the company till

Foster had removed the unfortunate in

The Shenandoah Herald does not like the
manner in which we went for its pet reporter,
and so in the absence of respectable answer,
it calls the COLUMBIAN "dead-and-alive
sheet" The COLUMBIAN has enough life about
it to convince the people in this section that
they ought not to patronize paper that mis-
represents the county as the Herald has done
During the Hester trial over nine hundred
Heralds were sold here daily, Now, since the
people have found out what windy sheet it is
there are less than fifty disposed of daily in
Bloomsbury, and that small number is growing
beautifully less. Another letter or two will
close it out.
