recently fallen victims to the disease.
On Tuesday last, we were again visited by |
snow-sorm, and on "Wednesday morning the
prospects for sleighing were fine. The old say
ing, .'As the day Ipngthens, The cold strength
rns, seems to hold good just now.
We are requested 10 call attention to the
advertisement of Messsrs. Taylor and Mowry,
IN to-day's Gq7ette. They intend to adhere
strictly to the letter and spirit Of the no
tice.
-Onr friend Jesse Wright, of Broad Top,
the author Of the Brown lyric, in this number,
will excuse US for not publishing The whole of
his excellent production, as it was too long for
our columns. We were compelled to omit
parts oft.
The Philadelphia estate JournaP' wants
to know why we are solcitous about the eXis-
tence OF the "AmercaD'' party, and desires
more satisfactory answer than lie coat of tar
and feathers we promised The editor when he
abused aud misrepresenied Judge Kimmell.-
As tar and feathers don't seem to be satisfacto-
ry to the 'sJournal' editor, how would tar and
svooI SUIT him A man of his principles could
| certainly not object TO the latter, and as our in
quries about the "American" party, had par
ticular reference to the wool business, we now
substitute that article for the feathers which are
SO distastefu 10 our friend oflhe 'Journal."-
We should have known that NIR. ORwIG does
not belong 10 the Shanghai wing of the Oppo-
sition and that he repudiates feathers.
-Messrs. S. Sbuck & Co., have dissolved
the partnership heretofore existing between
them. The store and tannery will be carried
on, in future, by S. s. w. w. Shuck, and the
coach-maklng business by G. D. & ]. D. Shuck,
under the name of Geo. D. Shuck s Co. See
advertisement.
-"G!orous Victory" "Cameron sustained"
and various other triumphant headings, intro
duce US TO the accounts of the recent special e.
lection in Dauphin county, contained in the
Opposition papers. The "Helperite" of this
place, announces that Clark, the Cameron can
ddate was elected by 1900 majority. This is
untrue. The official returns show that Clark
has about 900 majority, being a Democratic
gain of about 200 since last fall, when the OPP
position majority in DauPhln was upwards of
100. Cameron'S man was beaten in every
ward in Harrisburg, and in Cameron's own bor-
ough of Middietown. Harper's Ferry and
"Buzzard Feas:s'' are unpalatabIe TO the peo-
pie.
i We cannot publish the communication of
o. K, of Woodberry, as no known real name
accompanied it. Give US your name, friend,
and we will see what can be done for you.
As we are rarely so s'hard up" for some
thing TO read as to be compelled to peruse the
} columns of the Bedford "Helperi!e," the sweep
} ing charge contained in that sheet, week before
!, last, that the Democratic Commissioners had as
orssed the taxes too low, dld not fall under our
notice until few DAYS ago. This charge is an
astounding one, when We remember the repea-
ted assertions of this same sheet that the Demo-
Gratis raised the taxes too high. We shall not
go to the trouble of pointing out the alsehood of
the Helperite, as it is PLAN and can be read OF
, all men.
We refer our mercantile readers 10 the
card of McCulley & Orrick, Forwarding and
Commission Merchants, Cumberland, Md,
which appears in this issue. Messrs. McC. &
o., are successors 10 the well known firm Of
Shriver & Co., and are represented to US as gen.
tlemen well worthy of patronage.
The public schools of our borough, will O.
pen on Monday next. Mr.. J. w. Dickerson,
of Lancaster, will superintend the schools, and
Misses Isabella Ford, E. NJ, Montgomery and
E. Bolinger have been employed as teach
ers.

from MessrS. T. B. Peterson & Brothers. of
Philadelphia, copy oi a new novel by the
: renowned G. P. R. JAMES, entitled "The
man in Rack" 1t is domestic story of the
reign of Queen Anne, and is of sad and touch
ing, though fascinating interest. We consid-
er 1t one Of the best of the many novels written
, by James. 1t is neatly printed, on clear bold
faced type. Price, fifty cents.
