Ina FIx.-Ncighbor Jones of the Jcr-
seySbore IedeHe wants to 60 to the l. litori-
al Convention at Danville-but as he eau t
walk so far, is no dead-heaa, and couldn' t
think Of raising enough money-he don't
see how he can. Come on, brother, any
how; we'll pass around the hat
s9-Our 'mazing "KINKEDILLA" story
We see copied into half dozen papers and
credited 10 Themselves Modest, and proof
Of its being good story, anyhow.
Another of ours-about Durham, his
Fatchman, and CliutOn couuty-is by said
Durham, of said Watchman, Of Clinton
county, credited to the Allentown Register.
!, was original in Lewisburg several days
before i: appeared in Alentown.)
sg-Tuesday last was the asv that had
deem designated by the French astrono-
mers for general winding up of all sub
lunary matters by the descent Of the
much talked Of, much looked for, much
feared, and much abused comet. We
have not heard from France since then,
but if their predictions were fulfilled, it
only goes to prove that they live on diff
ferent planet. Nobody has been hurt yet
in our region and if they don't " die the
death" until a comet sees fit to pitch into
US, we presume there will be 4 vast num-
Der Of Yankee Methusalehs
IS Many editors are growing about
the superlative ugliness Of the eagle on
the new cents. Why can't you stop scol
ding at what does ut belong to you? Wen
bet our last winters hat that you can't
make better one if you try; suppose
you sketch an eagle, and send it to the
mint as perfect likeness. 1t our opin-
ion that it would be hard to tell whether
it was intended for an eagle, Dutch ba-
by, or a sheep's,foot. We had almost a
notion to blow up the thing too, until we
got possession of one, this morning, and
we now begin to think better of the bird,
or whatever it is; besides, who has bet
ter right to get up an original eagle, to
suit himself, than Uncle Sam? Pass along
the nickel-we'll put up with "der adler"
n1-We counted, in one weeks ex-
changes, about one hundred special invita-
tons for all people, old and young, to fee
from the "dusty, heated cities, and SNUFF
the 'balmy breezes' of the said one hun
dred ,more or less) respectable and respec-
tive localities-all in Pennsylvania Each
is SO proviientially favored that theirs have
the " best, purest air the tallest, most
came-full mountains; the most cool, SER
pentinc, ,meanderiDg, purilng, inviting trout
brooks the greatest amount and variety
of hunting and fishing inducements the
most commodious hotels; cheapest fare, and
politest landlords ; the lOveliest ladies, most
afable gentlemen the greatest possible
freedom from every sort of disease, past,
present, and future ard various other pc
euiiar and uncommon inducements, enough
to tempt an editor from his garnet if he
had money enough, and to empty all
the cities in week. With so many super
s1perlatively extraordinary openings, it is
astonishing that anybody can stay away.
But as it is, We have concluded not to put
IN any claims for Lewisburg and the pecu-
.'a' health, beauty, woods, streams, land
lords skies, air, ladies, citizens, &c, which
render our ueighborhood so uast.y superior
10 al others but let Expressive silence
muse our praise" and everybody come
wao desires to.
