Paint From Nicholson.
We have received specimen of the Miner
sl Paint from the recently discovered paint
lodges in Nicholson. 1t is of dark reddish
color and without any admixlure, would be
a good color for shipping, roofs, barns, Mills
e. tnf1n
could be obtained by admixtures OF lead aud
other paints.
As this rock exists there in inexhaustible
Quantities. there can be ne doubt that our
Nicholson friends have 'got good thing, -
even if their mines do not yield the precious
metals in the abundance claimed by them.

The Baptist Church.
The Baptist Church at this place which
was walked up and set in motion, through
the energetic preaching of the Rev. Mr.. Grow
Gast winter, is now one of the most wide-a-
wake denominations among US. We learn
that they have purchased the Presbyterian
Church House. and propose to repair and fix
it up IN more modern style. As it is now a
good building and finely located, they will
have one of the neatest and finest places for
worship IN town.
Let's make common cause Of the matter,
and build up good Academy, the next
thing With such an Institution, We shall
have less use for the jail.
IL Should be Known.
1t should be more generally know, that we
have in town, one of the most experienced
Bakers and COnfeclioners iD the Country
Mr. z. Gray, Of whom we speak, by his hon
orable straight forward course of dealing and
by making his Bread. pastry and Confection-
ary from pure unaduterated materials, de-
serves,-and when known, must receive the
liberal patronage of a discriminating public.
Drowned In Spring.
An infant son of C. II. Mowry, of Meshop-
pen aged about IA months, was drowned on
the 9th alt, in spring Of water near by
the house of his father
Dropped Out.
The entire bottcm-stringers, floor and all
of the upper canal bridge at this place fell
into the canal, one day last week and, what
iS
team and WAGON, who was passing over it at
the same time, fell with it. Fortunately they
escaped with but slight injuries. This is the
second occurrence Of the kind on these canal
bridges since las: Fall. As the company do
not rebuild them; and as We have but one left
and that apparently very insecure, we shall
probably soon find ourselves cut off from all
Intercourse with the river side of the canal
The neglect on the part of the Company to
provide against these accidents, receives, as
1t deserves, severe censure.
No Questions Asked,
A friend left at our office few days since
a fine lot of black Raspberries, aud turning
his back upon us, before we had time TO say,
thank ee, went away. Such unusual conduct
on the part Of a man who appeared to be en-
tlrely sane, required some explanation. A
Gay or TWO since, seeing our irien0 Mr A w.
FELTON,, who was the strange acting indivdu
al and inq uiring into the matter, we learned
that he picked the berries on purpose for us
We ate them and have ever since felt
friendly towards all berry pickers in general
and A. W. F. in particular.
Our New Sign.
The new sign, made necessary by the
change Of title of our paper was painted by
Mr.. W. Ruger the skilful artist located over
the National Bank. With this the finest
sign in town, we hardly think any of our
out Of town friends can fail to find our place
Of business. To those who have been for
some time indebted to US for the Democrat
we thisk such sign sins qua non,
