WOODBURY.

The doings in this quiet old town, situa- ted so pleasantly on the fairest of valleys, rarely get into the papers. Although we have not 'tstruck ile' yet, nor heard the whistle of the locomotive, even in imagina- tion, nor invented Peat Machine which does everything it's most sanguine adher- ents claim for it (except supplying it's neighborhood with peat); we can neverthe- less show as fine sleighing, and as high snow banks, as you. We have also our due proportion of shipwrecked sleighs with their lost buffalo robes, and bright warm hearted passengers tumbled suddenly into treacherous drifts.
 Our chief Woodbury peculiarities just now are lectures before the Monumental Association and Tableaux. The last Lee ture by Rev. MT. Little of the South Church was especially interesting. Having been several years Missionary he could speak most feelingly and most inteligently of the degradation to which false religion will reduce races apparently capable of the best and highest culture.
 Some changes are taking place in real estate. Judds corner has been purchased by an enterprising townsman who expects to establish first class store.

RELIEF IN TEN MINUTES. BRYAN'S PULMONIC WATERS.

R8" The original Medicine established in 1887 and first article of the kind ever introduced un- der the name of 'Pulmonic Wafers' in this or any other county; all other Pulmonic Wafers are counteifeits. The genuine can be known by the name of BRYAN being stamped on each Wafer.
 These waters have been before the public for nearly thirty years, and the immense sale at- tained. not only in America but in foreign countries, fully attest their intrinsic worth.- The medical properties are superior to any oth- or article offered for the cure of Pulmonary or Bronchial affections, and the quantity contained in each box is nearly double that of the many worthless limitations advertised.
 BRYAN's PULMoNIc WATERS. Cures Coughs. Colds, Sore Throat, Hoarseness, Asthma, Catarrh, Bronchittis, Difficult Breath ing, Splitting of Blood Pains in the Chest, Incip- ient Consumption and all diseases of the Lungs. Not only affording temporary relief, but effect ing rapid and lasting cure and are warranted to give satisfaction in every instance. They do not nauseate like alcoholic compounds, and the medicinal properties are combined in form so agreeable and pleasant to the taste, that any child will readily take them. One dose will al ways afford r RELIEF IN TEN MINUTES.
 To Vocalists and Public Speakers, these Wa fers are peculiary valuable; they will in one day remove the most severe occasional hoarse. ness and their regular use for few days will at all times, increase the power and Hexibility of the voice, greatly improving it's tone, com

SHARON.

The veteran physician, Dr. Ralph Dem ing, met with serious accident a few days ago, which confined him at home for seve- ral days. Driving through the main street, on very dark night, he came in contact with tree standing near the path, and the collision broke the shafts of his carriage and threw him senseless to the ground. He was seriously injured in the shoulder and breast, but is now sufficiently recovered to be able to be about town again, though he is still suffering from the effects of the injury.

On the lOth, an important meeting of the County Commissioners was held at this place. Letters. were issued calling on the respective towns of this County, for the payment of tax of $500 for repairing the Court-House, and for an assessment to meet the outstanding County indebtedness, amounting to s442.7O. The jail was rent ed to Oliver P. Peck, the present jailer, for the sum of $500 for the year succeed ing April 1st, 1867. This will increase the income of the jail considerably beyond the amount estimated in their circular letter.
 - On Tuesday there was large gather ing at the parsonage to celebrate the wood en wedding of MT. and Mrs. Perry. h. numerable wooden articles were presented; /; neatly carved wooden je,eelry, all possible and impossible wooden articles for domes- tic use, and wooden nick-nacks of various descriptions. The most perfect and neat est carving was that of salad spoon and fork, presented, we believe, by New York friend. Probably the most valuable wood en presentation was that of over q dozen cords of frewood.
 Tho extreme cold weather of the past day or two has begun, we are thankful to say, to modify perceptably.

 To use common expression the Execu- tive seems to be ''up to snuff, and nothing shorter. It is not very long time ago since he started out with numerous cor )tege and swung around the circle giving new interpretations of the Constitution, as hs1vent. The object of the expedition, it would appear was not accomplished, if the elections of last fall had anything to do with it.
 Next on the topis Gen. Sherman and one Lew Campbell start of, for Mexico with sealed orders, and they had gay and fes- tive season among the Cubanos. What they accomplished is not known to us, per haps Bill Seward could tell if he chose.
 Immediately after this affair, Fred Sow ard, Assistant Secretary, starts of on some unknown errand to some unknown place and being stranded he takes another vessel and that is the last wo have heard of him. It IS announced that General Grant is about to embark upon the same vessel, but his destination is not yet apparent.
 What does all this dumb-show mean ? The Executive seems to be playing game on the genuine thimble-rig style; it is now you see it, and now you don't see it, ten dollars to the man who can point out the little joker. This may bo very nice to the performers but an audience will always tire of play it does not comprehend.
 INCREASED CONFIRMATION FOR Govrpu,,pvr CLERKS
 The late joint resolution, introduced in the House by Garfield, in regard to increas- ing the compensation of certain classes of Government employees, caused an animat- cd debate. MT. Garfield said the cost of living in Washington had advanced more than one hundred per annum, while the salaries of clerks had been reduced five per cent by direct taxation, and he wished to give all who had been in office since the 1st of July 1865, an additional amount of twen- ty per cent. Mr. Hubbard of Conn. spoke at considerable length on the bill. He said that since the 1st of July 1865 there have many disabled soldiers been appoint ed in the various Departments, and this bill disqualified them from deriving any benefit from it's provisions. MT Hubbard said he did not regard the clerks appointed by Frank Pierce and James Buchanan, as be. ing more deserving than the soldiers who had served their country faithfully during the late war; he had labored for the soldiers during that memorable season, and he should labor for them still. On the conclu sion of his remarks, Mir. Garfield withdrew l his bill, and offered as substitute one in. creasing the compensation of all the clerks during the present fiscal year with certain qualifcations'not necessary to mention.
