Trade la new tobacco partakes of the dullness which characterises the transactions iu old leal. A lew buyers were out daring the week, but we opine thrv ate at home again without having accomplished much. The tie-tuendous suow-lall ot last Saturday night has made travel anything but a thing ot pleasure, and the wonder is auv one eutured out. I torn several of our country exchanges wo cull the following sales. Tho Lltltz Ktcorri has these The following sales 01 c7 Havana seedleaf were made to D.

W. Gmylnll, of East Petersburg, bv tanners In the icmlty of Lexington andllutfvTlle Monroe shrelner, I acre at 25, ami Scents: Ellas Shrelner, acre at Ai cents round Henry Shrelner, acre at 25, 3 and 2 cents; William Weidraan.l acre at 51 and 2 cents Israel Haber, 1, acre at 18 aud 2 cents Ezra Kline, 1 acre at A), 2 and 2 cents: Adam Williams, 1 acre at 53, 2 and 2 cents David Suavely, 5t acres Pennsylvania seedleaf at 5 and 2 cents. "Cigar manutacturer? are busw, but are careful not to buy a pound more ot teat than their business absolutely requires, as they do not want to carry on "their books a large stock on hand at the close of the year, hen tlicv ill have to make out their annual returns." Fred. aller sold his Havana seed at 27 and 5 cents, 5' 5 acres. The Cultivator gives these facts con.

corning the situation In the Connecticut alley It is gratifying to note that the la-t acre of s7 tobacco Is down and stripped, and that the rowers are fooling quite elated over the out-00k for remunerative prices. Dealers are riding through the mud and water, aud In the mornings over frozen rough roads. They do not buy very freelv. The growers are not over-anxious to sell at any price yet otrered. There Is.

however, a set ho are bound to sell the first otter, provided it is any here near the market price. Such uu Instance Is the follow ing Two growers live less than one-tourih of a mile apart. Each raised crops of Havana seed, tine sold for 4 cents lower than the other, while the difference in the crops was. It anything, in tavor ot the lowest-prtoed lot. The one was bound to sell at the first chance be hud, while the other waited nearly four data belore selling his crop.

The crop will probably move off slowly. We do not look for a great boom, yet wc should be glad to welcome one. The boom has reached the farmers tu the Cheming alley region, as tho follow mg correspondence irotn isaldwinsvllle in the Tntxtreo Journal proves There ts no abatement in the prices being paid for tobacco in this section. Newbuvers appear and others go awav to return again. The market this eek Is efi sustained.

Prices for onr Havana, it anything, are suffer than one week ago. When such large growers and experienced purchasers as Me-. -is. 1. C.

Toll, James selleck, Harrison Lester, John H. Mtinro, and mauv others of their class, part with their holdings 01 15-7 tobacco, we are always reminded that they are receiving high prices, for they raise good leaf. It is reported that Mr. Lester sold for 17 some -stv at IS cents, Aaron Street er, of Clav, sold at 19 cents. Clay is a Hite section for growing gixtd tobacco, and many crops tu that neighborhood have been sold at 14, 1.7 and 16 cents.

But the prices generally run on an average at 14 to 15 cents. These prices prevail all over this section. The range of figures runs at from 13 to 50 cents, but It Is to be hoped that growers will not ask more than is reasonable for their crops, while high prices, running from to So cents per pound, are to lm deprecated. It would be much better tor our farmers to sell any at an average ot 14 to 15 cents than to anchor their pnees and hopes on 50-cent tobacco. High prices now prevail, but not unreasonably so; and yet, I presume, mauv of our growgra are expecting 50 cents round'for their crops.

The market is now very active, and is likely to remain so if the growers will only part with their goods at fair figures. Nearly, "if not quite, one-fourth of the crop In this section has been gurchased. Ot course, at the present rale ot nyiug, our domestic Havana leal ill not last long. The growers have, produced a very line glossy leal this vear, and a pound ot wrappers will wrap nearly one-third more cigars than the 1886 growth. The crop will also run largely to rappers say 55 to 75 per cent.

The leal ts almost as fine as Sumatran, and just as good, In my opinion. Btnghamlou, the seat ot a great cigar manufacturing industry, had an agent in Clay last week, who threw a bomb In the air in that town, htch bad the effect to saturate the atmosphere of that region with high re-sure, resulting in sales as high as 19 cents round for Havana seed." Messrs. S. Gans Son A tobaeeo brokers, of 131 Water street. New York, make the following report to Thu New Era of the sales In that market during the post week 0 eases ls4 Wisconsin 8 ltk 400 cases 1886 lsconsln Havana.

At Millcrsville, after the Wednesday evening service, the members of the Reformed congregation visited the parsonage and gave their pastor, Rev.

f' Among the busiest of tlic industries of Columbia must be classed the Columbia Boiler Works, Messrs. Thomas G. Fairer Si Son, proprietors. The works were started very nearly three years ago and are situated along the Shawnee run, near the Columbia Foiling Mill. The proprietors came to town from Lancaster, where they had been in the employ of Mr.

John Best. Uoth arc skilled workmen, and, although they have a number of workmen in their employ, can bejfound daily at the works using the hammer and forge. At the present time from seventeen to twenty men are given steady employment and the sound of the hammer can constantly be heard by persons living in the vicinity of the works. By personal supervision on the part of the proprietors the Columbia Boiler Works have secured an excellent reputation for turning out a first-class quality of work. The firm have the making of all the new work and do the repairing for all the iron works in Columbia and vicinity, and also have an extensive trade in other places.

Since last summer eleven boilers have been shipped to parties in Lancaster. The workmen are kept very busy at the present time in constructing new boilers for the Columbia Iron Company. The firm have a gang of workmen employed at the Chickies furnaces, another gang are working at the Uenry Clay furnaces, and have just completed a large contract at the St. Charles furnaces, where the men had been employed since' last summer. Orders are constantly being received at the works and tho proprietors are compelled to refuse many owing to want of room.

The firm are negotiating for the purchase of the vacant land immediately in the rear of the Supplee Steam Engine works, and they contemplate erecting extensive boiler works in the near future. Air. Thomas G. Fairer is still a resident of Lancaster, and Air. William Fairer lives in Columbia.

Three employes at the brewery of Got-icib Young bad a very exciting experience on the river on Thursday afternoon, and came very near going over the dam at this place. The-meu were on a fiat boat and were going across the river for a load of wood from tho farm of Mr. Young, in York county. The flat bad been taken to the middle of the river by the big tug boat Grant, and the men intended to let the boat drift to the other side. A very heavy wind was blowing on Thursday afternoon and the flat soon got beyond the control of the men.

The boat commenced going toward the dam and the men realized tlieiv danger. They commenced calling for help, and their cries were heard by the crew of the tug boat, and they went to the assistance of the men. The boat was very near the dam, and the tug boat had to be very careful where they went. After two ineffectual attempts, a rope was thrown to the fiat and the men towed out of danger. About six inches of water was running over the dam, and the men had a very narrow escape.

Town Notes. A masquerade ball will be held hi the Armory to-night by the Vigilant Association. It promises to be a very grand affair. A ball will be held in the Armory on Monday night, under the management of the C. M.

Aldermau Mc-Conomy has two sons whose duties call them away early in the morning, before breakfast has been prepared, and the Aldermans ltaker leaves a package of eight cakes or bnns four for each boy every luomiug. On the morning in question some one who had little sense thought it would be a good joke to transfer the package from the Aldermans door to that of a neighbor, and the result was the boys went off without their early lunch, that morning, and a worthy family were annoyed with tho thought that somebody wanted to poison them Fulton Hall Attractions. The reappearance of Prof. Mon is and his equine and canine show at Fulton Hall, to-night will be bailed with delight by our amusement-goers. The show is the best of its kihd ever seen in this city, and the attendance will doubtless be large.

A matinee will be given to-morrow afternoon. The Waite Comedy Company, to appear at Fulton Hall next week, is an excellent company, as can be attested by hosts of citizens who enjoyed their performances ou their last visit. They will give a matinee on Monday afternoon, when, being a holiday, they will likely have a good house. It would be well, therefore, to secure your seats. B.

On Tuesday there was a butchering at the residence of Mr. James Reifsnydfcr, at Churchtown, this county, when a terrible accident occurred to Mr. Reifsuyders little three-year-old daughter. By the tilting of the cook stove a large kettle of boiling fat was upset, the contents being spilled over the child, which was standing near the stove, from its neck to its feet.

The child was frightfully burned, large pieces of the flesh coming off witli the clothing when removed. The little one lingered in terrible agony until Thursday afternoon, when it died. The accident is a most distressing one and has cast a gloom over tire neighborhood. Fell in the Square.
