would be termed q harangue. His voice is badly
cracked and pitched in q high key, which finally
became hoarse, and showed signs of breaking

and Jim Lane ranted, screamed and beloved like
two mad bulls, and raFed like two hyenas. Doc.

and commanding all eyes and ears, but unfortu-

F- ApsLEY's WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Boor
AND SnoE SroRB.-Iti is generally supposed that
wholesale business in country towns cannot bc well
sustained, but if any of our readers have had occa
sion to visit the large wholesale and retail boot and
shoe store of W. W. Apsley in this place, they could
not help but observe the large and successful whole
sale business that gentleman is doing as is evidenced
by the huge piles of boxes of his goods, ready for
shipment to various portions of the State, trade
which he has succeeded in establishing by his indom
table energy and cnterprize. Mr.. Apsley procures
his stock direct from the largest Eastern manufac
turers, and is thus enabled to compete successfully
with New York and Philadelphia prices 1t is ad-
vanageous to merchants residing in this part of the
State to purchase of him, account Of being
to their places of business, thereby saving the ex
pense of going to the cities the high rates of freight
&c. His retail business has also assumed huge di-
mcnsions, and is extensively ratronzed by all good
Judges of that indispensable article We advise
every to call and learn his mode of doing bus-
ness as we are sure they will not regret the time
lost in an examination of his stock. .N ''

L. THE FENIAN WAR.-The all-absorbing topic
of interest at the present time seems to be the
ments of the invaders of Canada. The final result
of this daring enterprze on the part of the Irish
population of America not only looked for by the
Fenian Brotherhood with great interest, but by the
American people generally. No one at the present
time to be able to understand what the object
of the recent inv aston was, and therefore we are
forced to wait for the development of the Fcniar
plan. But how different the object of Mr. John E
Smick, whose tailoring establishment is on Fourth
street, opposite Weavers Hotel. lie has no desire
to deceive, nor to keep from the eyes of the public
the knowledge that he is daily receiving large sup
plies of cheap and fashionable goods direct from thC
cities, and rapidly converts it into those fashionable
suits for which his establishment is celebrated. Ii,
sells them at exceedingly low prices.

L-Y' NATURE AND ART.-Nature has within itself
numerous artful curiosties, and only the imag-
nation and optical vision comprehend the beauty she
displays by frequentng the garden, field and grove,
and perceiving in reality the wonder of her works.
Next to nature is the Photographic art, which dis
plays power of effect upon the mind and sight not
superior to nature Yet at Byerly's Photograph GAL

are made which bear SO marked resemblance to the
persons from whom they are taken as to leave them
