ENOCH LEWIS, Gen. SApt.
TOBACCO Last week we had some
thing to offer concerning the unpreceden-
.el advance in the price Of Coffee; this
week we clip the following exhibit of
corresponding elevation in the ''costivity'
Of Tobacco from the Holidaysburg SIAN
xlard-merely promising the same with
the remark that what is true OF that local
!tv is true also Of this. To wit: Deal
ers in Tobacco are about as indepen-
dent as dealers in cotton goods. Their
prices are as stiff as ~amrods. Manutac-
turcrs of fine cut have put up the price
about forty per cent. and cut down the
quality Of the article in like proportion.
This makes an increase of eighty per cent.
in the wholesale price Of bad breath and
,discolored teeth What is true of tobacco
also holds good with cigars. Grabs
have disappeared from the market, and
York county rcgalias,' that sold for
shilling a dozen, are now worth double
that amount The pleasant fctions sold
vnder fancy names as genuine Havanas
make serious holes in the smokers pocket
book Putting costs something now, if it
never did before"
Which it does, and those who have
experienced the delicious, enchanting,
dreamy, self satisfying, odorous balminess
Of the nicotiau weed will be sorry to hear
meerschaum, in common with many 9TH
,ers, must be colored, even if "real Turk
isll' runs up 10 startling figure. When
it runs out Of the range Of human vision,
Allah be praised doth not the cheaper
and more plcbcian kinnikinniquo remain
70 solsce US ? Aye, and the coloring 1t
imparts to the meerschaum is as dusky
and brilliant beautiful as may be. "The
wise enjoys his day to-day, the fool"
No matter; no one is fool enough to think
that putting, be it in the shape Of rare
old, prime DID, bully old Cabana or iu that
other shape of reduced PARTICLES, can be
had, like piety, without money and with
out price.
Continue the services By singing
Let Others pirate bout so and so,
Aad swear the Weed : a deadly foe,
You know
Hol no. hal hal laugh and grow fat,
Wen puf and smoke for all that, that, that"
Ta.-;ra N fliraat thu
attention Of our clergymcD to a circular
emanating from Mr.. Burrowes, State Su-
perintendent of Common Schools, on this
outside, requesting their aid and counte-
nance in the noble cause of Popular Edu-
cation, in so far as the preaching Of ser
mon in behalf of that subject on the FIRST
Sunday of the coming December is con-
cerned. This request is made in accord
ance with the wishes Of the Educational
State Convention which held its session in
Harrisburg last August. Christianity and
knowledge should ever go hand in hand
but especially in these troub!ous times,
when ignorance and intolerance threaten
'he downfall or our beloved liberties,
Sho'd their twin luster be allowed t. slime
forth as beacon of hope for the future,
aud illuminate the whole land. We think /.
prompt and hearty acquiesconce on the
part of the ministers OF the various de-
nominations in the county would not be
amiss
