IounNALIsM An HOME.

Tho Lancaster Examiner yesterday en-
tered upon its fourteenth volume with par
donable expression of pride In its career.
Started in stormy days, II survived them
we'll established newspaper, and 1t has kept |
steady pace with the unfaltering progress Of |
journalism in this city.
The Columbia Herald appears today for
the first time under Its new ownership and
direction. Its publisher, owner and editor,
w. b. Given, has associated with him Alfred
G, Bruner of Columbia, as assistant editor,
and James d. Slsde, as local editor-both
young gentlemen OF enterprise and ability.
The tone of the editorial column is liberal
and progressive the local department Is
crisp and comprehensive and the usual
amount Of advertising patronage, shows that
the new publisher and the new plan
have won the deserved confidence of
the business community. In retiring from
the Herald, and I'm bis prospective removal
from Columbia, the late proprietor OF the
paper, Mr. Eugene j. Miller carries with
him the good wishes and universal respect
OF many friends gained in brief residence
and many regrets that the state Of his health
| would not permit the realization of the hopes
| with which he entered new field.
The "IntellIgencers- New ONCE.
| For some time past workmen have been
engaged in preparing the lower floor OF No.
| s South Queen street, one door below the
present Office, for the occupancy of the office
| force of the INTELLIGENCER. This was
made necessary by the proposed extension
southwark OF the rooms occupied by Reed,
McGrann & Co.'S bank, which extension
| will include the room heretofore used by
| the INTELLIoENCER as a business Office.
| The change from the old to the new Office
was made this morning. The latter
IL q handsome illustration OF the COM
bined work of the carpenter, painter
and paper hanger. The woodwork in the
shape OF closets staircase, etc, is IN the finest
| ash, after the Queen Anne style. Two hand
some French plate glass windows, furnished
by Marshall & kengier, look into South
Queen street, and entrance is bad into the
| office by a vestibule with double doors. The
| carpentering was the able work OF George
| Ernst The paper hanging is marvel OF
| completeness. The walls and ceiling are in
, imitation of fresco work, the designs tasteful
, | and the colors warm and bright The metal
tjnts predominant. The side walls are rem
dered handsome 10y an imported English
washable oak paper intended to simulate
wainscoting. The latter effect is well carried
out by dado of thistle pattern bound in with
, | heavy pressed rail. There Is besides {
heavy pressed frieZe of Moorish pattern, tht
= balance of the side walls being OF a nea
| stessil design. Tho ceiling decoration II
| bound al ~Vith red moulding, studded will

, | Hager q Bro. The speaking trumpets of th
latest design and the communicating boxe

INTELLIsENCER office is a thing of beauty
! and like tho little boys drum, 1t is hard Z
