signs.--Iti is always sign Of progress and
promise when a man advertises his business. You
may 10 sure the advertiser is not ashamed of his
business nor of his way of attending to it. One of
the most judicious ways of advertising is to place
good sign-board at the place of business o. S.
Mills Co., who now keep frst-class Hardware
Store, with Stoves Sheetiron and Tin-~sre of every
description, have lately put up sign of this kinG.-
Of course everybody will now know where to 60 for

which indicates where good horses and neat and
commodious Carriages, Cutters and other conVeyan-
ces can be found Persons hiring horses and rigs Of
hin, will have no reason to complain that his sign ad
yerses too much.
Google! Google Google .! !--SOme of
our nqustive friends, shortly after Christmas, ask
ed u. the provoking question 'Who sent your
christmas turkey this year 7" As no bird Of that
character had made his appearance at our coop, we
folt like making wry faces and using tOl0I language
TO our tormentOrs.
A fne fat gobber for New Years having lately
come to hand, our equanimity is restored and our
friends can depend upon civil answers to their ques-
rons, as to the New-Year Turkey-Mr.J j. p. Conger
of Meshoppen was the donor. To relieve ou- christ
masfed friends from any anxiety as to this bird, we
will state that he roosts very high, No chance now
to gObble that gobbler,
Raising the Dfckens.--The great English
author Charles Dickens who is now tour through
hi, country reading from his own books, is 'rais-
ing the very Dickens" wherever he goes. Mr., Dick
ems has a stronger Dol upon the affections of the
English people than any other writer of fiction
dead or living His present visit to us, will serve to
render his name familiar here as it IS in his own
country There, his books not only adOru the pals-
se, and the drawing but they cheer and make
light the Iabors Of the dweers in the huts, and the
kitchens To meet the popular demand fo- these
admirably written works, Messrs, d. Appleton Co.
of New York, have in press and are rapidly issuing
the whole series, complete, at prices which place
the m within the reach Of even the poorest in eur
land. We venture the assertion that the whole his
tory of book publishing does not furnish an instance
Of an equal amount Of standard reading at so cheap
rate. The sale Of the paper-bound Dickenses'
must inevitably be immense. See advertisement of
these works in colums to-day.
The Christmas Tree at the NJ. E. Church in
this place on Christmas Eve, grand affair and
brought together a crowded house of old and young
folks the revival of this good old German custom
which. we are glad to say, is fast gaining ground
against Santa Claus and all his fantastic tricks Of
chimney climbing and stocking stufhng Let Santa
Claus, who, to say the truth to our young friends,
IS nothing but piOus sort of wizard descendant
Of wtches-"gO to pot"-or fall from the chimney
into the stove, for all we care We like the Christ
