PurRID Sore THRoAr.-A lady, says the
New York Tribune, who has experienced the
benefit of the following simple remedy, is very
anxious that Others should be acquainted with
it and its value: eMix one gill of strong ap-
Pile vinegar, one table spoonful of common
salt, table spoonful of drained honey, and
half pod of red pepper Cor half tea spoonful
of ground pepper0 boil them together to a
proper consistency, then pour it into half a
pint of strong sage tea. In severe cases half
tea spoonful every hour for child one tea
spoonful for an adult. As the cancer decreas-
es decrease the frequency of the doses.
THE RIVER, &c.-On Friday evening last it
commenced raining and continued to fall CO.
piously during the night. On Saturday morn
ing the river began to rise rapidly, and in the
afternoon several RATS started from this place.
On Sunday and Monday, however, large
number passed down. On Tuesday we had
some rain aud snow, and as the river is still in
good rafting condition, it is be hoped that
they will reach market safely. We have been
informed that there exists a scarcity of hands
along the river, and, if this be true, much of
the timber will have to remain back, unless
the waters keep up until those who have gone
below can return and supply the deficiency.
1t is presumed, however, that sufficient guam
tity of timber will reach market to supply the
Immediate demand.
A Coon OsE.-On last Tuesday, whilst a
number OF raft hands we're returning from the
loot of the falls, they concluded to take
ssshort CUT from near Bald Hills School house
TO the Frenchville road, renarking that sshaf
dutch and half english" finger boards were un-
certain guides. Coming to road that turned
in the direction they wished to 60, they at once
took it. After travelling some distance they
approached a house, and on inquiry found that
they wero going to Leconte's mill. They at
once "beat retreat" but not wishing to
retrace their steps to the starting point,
turned in on a timber road, and followed that
until they came to a habitation, and were much
rcJoiced at being sont o. the woods - bnt
10, 'sprcsto, change 20 they were at Leconte's
sill. Fortunately, our friend Alex. Murray
mas at the mill, who unhesi.atingly agreed to
pilot the lost crew to safe harbor.
STORE RoBBED.-We have been informed,
that on Sunday night, the 14th, the store of
Ed. A. Irwin in Curwensvile, was tered by
several scoundrels. who first broke into the |
cellar, and from thence into the storeroom.
fortunately, however, they did not succeed
in carrying away any great amount of goods, |
as they were seen jumping from window by |
man belonging to raft, who hallooed and ask- |
cd them what they were doing whereupon |
the thieves dropped four carpet-sacks, which
they had well tliicd with goods, and took to |
their heels. Only few small articles are mis-
sing. The thieves were not recognized by
the person who caused them leave SO hastily /
without their budget OF stolen goods.
N. b. Perhaps, the thieves only designed
sampling Eds stock of new goods, which he
had just opened, for the purpose of recon-
Iiending them to those who may wish to buy.
