gI- THAT sound american Jounai Of
Horticulture, published in Boston, is on our
table for July. IF We are any judge at all
of what constitutes iirst-c!asj Journal de-
voted to the cause this one is, VIC shall pro-

1fl- PENNYRoYAL. - Farmers might
easily save the flesh of horses and cows and
confer great kindness on their animals in
preventing the usual annoyance Of flies, by
simply washing the parts with extract Of
pennyroyal. Flies will not a!ight a moment
on the spot to which this has been applied.
BdS" FROM information received. it seems
probable that the great Schuylkill County
t'TRIKE is about to hit Columbia cuuniy.
We are told that on Monday last Il ga,.g of
strange men made their appearance at Cat
awissa and informed the hands employed
there that they must quit work. 1t is not
understood that they effected their object.
"a" PAINFUL AcClDENT-O Monday
last ED. RAwN, clerk at the Exchange Hotel,
in this town, while handling pistol, shot
himself in the left hand the bullet entering
the inside of the hand near the joint of the
index finger, where it lodged, imbedded in
and about the bone. 1t was very painful
wound, but ED. bore up we'll under the diff
cult and severe operation which was made
necessary.
bGS" The Radical press generally do not
like Andrew Johnsons Amnesty Proclama-
tion 1t has been spoken of by that press
as a bid for the Presidential nomination.
This we disbelieve; but VIC do think it is
iirst-rate bid for votes to the Democratic
ticket this fall. A few more proclamations
would not hurt. IF Andrew johnson de-
slres to be up to Lincoln in number, he
must shove them out little faster.
S@'PRoF. CARVER is getting along finely
with the work OH the State Normal School |
building. The stone walls are completed,
and the brick-laycrs are now busily putting
up their part of the work. They expect to
have the brick wall finished in the course of
ninety days if the weather is anything like
favorable. The work is being well done, and
rapidly. Alba Phillips, of Berwick, has the |
contract for laying up the brick.
eI- On the first page of the DEMOCRAT
will be found HIRAM r. KLlNE'S letter,
expressing his reasons for supporting the
Sunbury and Erie Railroad Bill, with lengthy
and argumentative comments appended to
the letter. We found this article in copy of
the Colssabia Democrat, and we are cred
ably informed that the comments on
hLlNFS course were written by Col.
JOHN q. FREEZE, who was associate editor
OF the Democrat at that time.

tTPoTATo Prospect - Reliable reports
from our own and neighboring counties, as
far as heard from, are favorable to good |
crop OF potatoes this year. Last year the
frequent and heavy rains seriously damaged
the crops, and in some of the eastern coun-
ties Of Pennsylvania, farmers did not raise
enough for home use. The consequence was
high prices all through the fall and winter
The early crop this summer is coming into
