tured upon the streets unless business
compelled them to leave tho shelter of
their home or place Of business.

Poor MarKet.
Another small market was held tin
morning. There wer. few huyers and still
few sellers. Columbi, does not seem to be
very fortunate lately in this respect, TO
having largo markets. Produce may !e
scarce, or the farmers may be hOldH e
it back until tho holidays. Such certainly
must be the case with butter aud eggs, for
although the prices are high. ths are cx-
ceedingly scarce. Wait until the new
river bridge is built. then the York county
farmers can put their articles nn :!ie C.. l.
umbia market. just wait. How long:
Looking Through, SmOkU.I GLASS.
If stranger who knew nothing about
the transit Of Venus had come to Cclum-
bia yesterday he would have wondered
why SO many people were looking at tie
sun through smoked glass. Every person
seemed infected with the desire to see the
transit, and those who took the trouble
to blacken with smoke a piece Of glass
saw it. The newspapers will soon be full
of scientific accounts Of the transit.
The Grand Army Of the Republic.
At the meeting of Gen. Welsh Post No.
118. g. A. r., last night. several rscruits
were mustered in. Other business also
claimed the attention of the post. Visi-
tors were present in large numbers from
York, Wrightsvil!e, Lancaster and Mari
eta. Among them was General Wander
slice, of Norristowa department, com
Tho visitors wero greatly pleased with
their reception.
An Independent Follow.
A strange man stepped up to married
lady few nights since on Locust street
and offered her his company, Of course
it was refused, but the fellow still insisting
upon accompanying her the lady entere u
store for protection. Tho intruder quickly
disappeared. It seems amazing that man
could have the hardihOod to press his COM
pany upon a lady with whom he was un-
acquainted and that upon a street where
people arc continually passing. A cowhid
ing would be mild punishment for such
person.
A Painful Accident.
Yesterday afternoon while Mrs. Rachael
Martin, residing on new Second street,
was engaged in taking one of the cleavcrs
from . sausage chopping machine it fell.

A freight car was thrown off the p. X.
r. siding near Swartz's icehouse, yes;tr-
day afternoon at 3 O'Clock by a misplaced
switch. While engine No. 526 was
employed in replacing it on the rails,
it ran off the track. A little additional
trouble soon rightet1 the matter.
A Fine Performance.
The Madison Square theatre company in
Hazel Kirke," drew a'goOd-sized audi
ence last night. Miss Belle Archer, az
Hazel Kirke, is success, beyond doubt.
Miss Archer delineated tho character
faithfully and with such effect a. to draw
tears to the eyes of many Of the audience.
Mr.. Herbert Archer, as Lord 7Sausrs
Mr.. Joseph Frankan as Pttacus Green
and Miss Nellie Irving, as Dollie Dutton.
were excellent, while the character Of
Dunstan Kirke, Hazeps father, was finely
rendered by Mr.. Charles Wheatleigh. The
Ironville orchestra furnished the music for
the entertainment and it was excellent.
1t seems strange that it is not moro often
engaged, instead of managers mourning
the greater expense Of getting ar orchestra
from Lancaster or York.
