The Trotting Circuit.

A meeting Of the Central Pennsylvania
trotting circuit was held 10 Sunbury last
week to complete the organization. Lewis
burg, Berwick, Bloomsbury and Milton
fairs were fully represented. Among the
resolutions passed was one to close all en-.
tries the Saturday previous to the opening
of the first fair. This was amended to per-
NIT Bloomsbury to exercise her own option
as to the time for closing her entries. A
resolution was also passed authorizing the
Accociation to publish 5000 folders oI
pamphlets advertising the aggregate purses
to be awarded by the circuit and the
amounts to be offered by the respective
societies, for general distribution and the
information Of horsemen. While Ashland
was not represented at this meeting, never
theless she has taken an active interest ir
behalf Of the circuit and will, no doubt, be-
come a leading member of the society.

THE PRICE REDUCED.

The COLUMBIAN has ever kept abreast Of
the times. Cheap newspapers are the
order of the day, and this office can as well
afford to publish paper at $l.O year,
az any other office. But as the price is
low we cannot afford TO give any more for
the money than any other paper gives. We
have determined to reduce the price OF the
COLUMBIAN to $1.00 year, and on or about
July 1st we shall reduce the size of the
paper to that of the largest OF other papers
published at that price. Our only hesita-
ton for some time has been that the re-
duction of the size might seem like back
ward step, but as the price is reduced in
proportion, and as price, not size, seems 10
be the principal object, we have decided
upon this change. The patronage OF this
office has never been better than 1t is TO-
day, and our subscription list was never in
healthier condition. 1t is only because
we hope to largely increase the list that the
reduction has been made, thus placing us
on an equal footing with the other cheap
papers. The principles of this paper will
not be changed in any way. We ask no
office, we have no .axes TO grind, no prom.
ises to make, and hence none to break.
This paper was established fifty-one years
ago, and is now in the ninth year of its
present management. 1t has, we believe,
always enjoyed the confidence and respect
of the public and our endeayors shall all be
directed towards the maintenance OF that
position.
All who have paid in advance at the old
rate of $1.5O will receive credit on our
books for the excess from July l. All who
are in arrears for subscription will be
charged at the rate of $3.50 up to July LIST,
and $100 year after that date.

Bioomsburs Patent news.

nlesss g. Mears q Son, cf this place
have just been TO Washington and advised
their attorneys TO et once push the matter
OF prosecuting infringers of the Perfect
Washer made here by them. The cases are
in the hands Of Charles e. Barber, ESQ q,
and Judge o. d. Barrett, Of the firm of
Barrett and Butler. That these attorneys
mean business and are men of ability may
be seen from the following clipping from
the Daily Critic Of Washington, d. G.
Charles e. Barber, one OF Washington's
young lawyers, has recently moved from
his office at Fifth and f. streets, and Is
now with General Benjamin f. Butler and
o. ID. Barrett, ESQ.,, In the Butler Building
opposite the Capitol. Mr.. Barber still
makes specially of patents and patent
law, and In matters of important litigation
Messrs. Butler q Barrett may be retained
with him. He is young man of great en-.
| ergy and decided talent and has already
| attracted the attention Of some OF our lead
ing attorneys as is proven by his connec.
tion with the distinguished gentlemen
above named. He is regularly retained by
the X p. Gleason Manufacturing Company
OF New York and Seneca Falls by the ST.
Louis Stock Range Company Of st. Louis
aud several other large corporations Of
standing In the country. 1t will be re-
membered that he was retained with Gen
eral Butler as general solicitor for the Bur
ton Car Company, early 10 the history of
his career, and has retained the Generals
confidence and friendship since. He lie
highly recommended by those who have
engag, d his professional services, as well
as by the business men Of our city with
whom he has had dealings. Considering
that he came here perfect stranger with
his benefactor, Judge Folger, while that
gentleman was Secretary of the Treasury,
and that he has since become so thorough
ly established In so short time, both here
and throughout the country, brilliant ca
reer may be prophesied for him, and those
needing the aid Of competent counsel in q
patent capacity ill do well to place their
| matter In his hands.
