a portion Of the laureis, which bloom Forever
around his name, at the battle OF lie Tort. In
q short time the town will be lighted With Gas
and supplied with water which will add much
tothe beauty Of The place and convenience Of
the citizens. There are three papers publish
ed in Carlisle, the ''Heruld," phig, by our
friend E. BARRY, Esq, none o your s5GsiOn'
Abolition sheets. The "DemocrGh" by e.
CoRNMAN. Esq, formerly one Of the PFoprie-
tors Of the establishment where first we re-
ceived instructions in "the art preservative
of all arts, and the "Volunteer," under the
proprietorship of JOHN B. Barron, Esq, at
present Post Master. The "volunteef'' was
commenced in 1912 or 1914, by WILLIAM g.
JAMES UNDERwooD, and has been ever since
a faithful and able exponent of Democratic
measures and a supporter Of the true interests
and principles of Republiconism. There are
several well kept Hotels in the town, the best
of which, we believe, is under the propries
iorship Of Parsons, a prince Of a landlord.
There are a large number Of stores Of variou-
kinds, and to witness the display of goods
from doors, show windows, &C., one would
imagine himself in a place of immense BUSH
ness. There are three Jewelry establishments,
the most fashion, Bile and extensive of which
is kept by our old friend CoNLYN, who gener-
ally has on hand from $1,000 100000 worth
of goods from which 10 accommodate custom
ers. Ice Cream Saloons, &C., are plenty
almost every family of any wealth and all the
Hotels have Ice Houses, which are generally
filled from the Canondoguinet creek about
one mile north Of town, or the Letort Spring
within the limits Of the Borough. In the wa
tiers of the Cumberland Valley may be found
in abundance Speckled or Mountain Trout,
Catfish, Pike, Suckers, EeIs, Fall fish, &c.
The Railroad from Philadelphia to Chambers

the times which tiled mems souls.
At home, we found many old friends for
whom in former yenrs, and still, we entertain
the strongest affection. Many have removed
to distant parts-others lay slice ping in the
old graveyard, the earthly city of The Know
Nothings." Then, for the last time, we are
certain, we gazed upon many loved, familiar
faces-in all probability when we again re-
visit those scenes hallowed by the first and
holiest impressions Of early childhood, We
shall stand almost a stranger in our native
land. We hope Old Time will deal gently
with those around whom our heart-strings are
so closely en;wined and that long life and full.
ness of days may be theirs. Their memories
will ever live fresh in our hearts and "when
we forget them may our right hand forget hel
cunning, and our tongue clease TO the roof o.
our mouth.
Thus we have endeavored briefly and some,
what disjointedly, to give our readers a few
items, if they repay for their perusal ant
you are satisfied, we ore, therefore, we shall
close the subject, by remarking that the Dep

for his kindness while we were at home, o.
