Every body is busy; no lounsers nor idle monied

in politics, but real social Democrat in feeling, and
indeed this feeling Of genera sociabi6ty is strongly

There is a circle Of ladies here, and one among the
foremost who should ever be mentioned with honor

stated that the elder Booth, who has been for short
time back playing in California, was his return
home. A letter received from Sacramento, few
days ago, informs that he has not been very sue

quite freely to the jolly god who is always repre-

hand and wreath Of vine leaves his rubicund

in San Francisco, the tragedian played Richard III,
and when lie knelt for Lady Anne to kill him, fell
over on his face. Rising with some difficulty, he
pointed to the stage, which was covered with green
baize and addressed the audience in this wise: "DO
you see that green baize! WA.th rerdgris has got

when he should have spoken Of the usual soliIo-
quies, he coolly said: Excuse the sollloquy," and
walked off the stage with all the nonchaIance that
could be exhibited under the circumstances.

HIGH PRICE OF IRON.

The price of iron has advanced much
beyond its actual value. This will, no
doubt, greatly stimulate the trade and man
ulacture OF the article, but it is ruinous
and bad business. If the tariff on iron had
been specific, or, what would, perhaps, be
better, on the "sliding scale" principle, it
would work more advantag geously for all
concerned. While iron was selling in
England, al Sl5 per ton, the duty at 80
per cent. was only $3.50. Now when the
price is nearly doubled, the price is still
further increased by duty of about So,
when the duty should be nominally moth
ing. Why not adopt "Sliding scale" by
which the duty is diminished as the price
increases, and vice rerSa' While Ameri-
can manufacturers are getting up new es-
adjustments, the British Iron Masters are
rcaping fortunes. When the Americans
are ready 10 manufacture, the price will
go down, so as 10 render it here loosing
buSiness-our British rivals, having, in the
mean time, made enough by extra high
prices, 10 keep going at low rates, until an
other rise shall occur. But we do not believe
that iron will ever come down as low as ii
has been. The discovery OF gold IN Cali
fornia, but more particularly in Australia,
will put new face upon things. The
emigration from England 10 Australia ha:
already rendered laborers comparatively
scarce, and enhanced the wages of work.

EXTENSION OF THE TELEGRAPH.

DR.. Goel is now engaged in extending
his telegraph wires from Northumberland
to Selinsgrove, a distance OF miles. The
posts are all up, and we understand the
wires will be put up this week. This will
be great convenience to our Selinsgrove
neighbors, who are extensively engaged 10
mercantile business. From Selinsgrove,
the line is, we understand, 10 be extended
to Harrisburg, by January next. This, we
think, is a mistaken policy, inasmuch there
will be, ere long, line extended from this
place TO Harrisburg on this side, along the
Susquehanna Rail Road. Telegraphs are
now considered necessary adjunct to rail
roads, 10 enable them to work them safely.
Had this line been extended on this side TO
Harrisburg, Selinsgrove and other stations
could easily have been supplied by stretch
ing line over the river. As il is, we shall
in few years have two lines, one OIL each
side OF the river, from this to Harrisburg.
The business on the rail road between this
and Potsvile, will also require telegraphic
facilities when the road is completed, and
a line will, no doubt, be extended along the
route, which will make the shortest line
between this and Philadelphia.

COLD WEATHER,

The season for cold weather is fast ap-
preaching, Already we have had num-
Der Of white frosts. Winter is always a
season of suffering and distress with the
poor, especially in cities and towns. With
those who have an abundance to render
themselves comfortable, it may sometimes
be unpleasant and inconvenient; they
should, therefore, be the more ready TO ex-
tend unto their less fortunate fellow beings,
the open hand of charity. We, however,
of the country, can hardly form an idea Of
the extent of suffering and distress that is
prevalent in large cities, during the winter
season.
