scription list Of the DEMOCRAT will compare
favorably with any paper in the District
and as to the getting up and ability displayed
in the paper, no one is responsible for O.
entitled to credit, but those who are imme
diately connected with it. We are in favo
Of every stub standing upon its own bot
tom," and the public judging which vii
hold water the longest.

b@c In consequence Of the rapid thaw or
Sundaylast, the water finding its way into
the cellar Of Mr.. Shives Mandatory or
main street, he has been obliged to suspend
operation for thepas few days The water
not being able to pass through the culverts,
forced its way off in another direction, reach.
ing several cellars on tho south side Of Main
street, an occurrence that has not happened
for many years. The water in the cellar,
by the engine, in Mr.. Shives Manufactory,
is several feet deep, and can only be remov-
ed by being pumped out.
I6 THE Lycomiag Standard says that
Isaac Hartman, of Williamsport, was ap-
pointed by the Postmaster General to be
Route Agent on the Catawissa railroad be-
tween Willianisport and Port Clinton, vice,
Stephen r. Crane, ESQ.,, of Bradford coun.
ty,, removed. The appointment Of Mr..
Hartman is a just tribute to the services Of
returned soldier. 1t was procured on the
petition Of many of the citizens of Williams
port, without regard to peliittiies.4l eensidc,a-
tion and will give general satisfaction. John
Horn, ESD, of-Schuylkill county, is the

b% We NEED borough charter for this
place, and heavy police organization, the
worst kind ofa way. IF those grand jurors
who opposed the granting Of charter to
bloomsbury, at our last court, could see and
experience one-half the danger to which
ladies and gentlemen are exposed in this
town, almost nightly, by coming in contact
with crowds of rowdy boys, intoxicated and
bent on doing all the mischief possible, these
jurors would not hesitate one moment in re-
scinding their action. 1t was only last Sat
urday night, that young man going along
the street, not molesting any one, was stab
bed in the abdoman. The wound is not
fatal, but is frightful and is inflicted at a
critical place. A warrant was Immediately
taken out for the arrest Of the guilty party,
but the perpetrator Of the daea has not yet
been found.
e%A FARMER writing to Baugh & Sons,
Gays he used their Raw Bone Phosphate
last spring, and found it to be all its friends
claimed for it-used it on corn broom corn,
potatoes, Strawberries and the various kinds
Of vegetables, with the most satisfactory re-
suit Another one says, owing to the ex-
cessive wet weather his corn did not mature
properly, but he is satisfied where he applied
the Phosphate there was so per cent more
corn than where it was not used. Another
used it on eight rowed yellow flint corn
which he found to be larger and more pro-
life than formerly-the ears being l. to l2
inches long, and three fourths of the crop
showing l2 to IA rows per ear-this land
was in high state Of cultivation and had
never given such results before.
The originals Of the above letters may be
seen by any farmer who will call upon the
manufacturers Of Baughs Raw Bone Phos-
phate.
