Jack Frost made Ms an unexpected visit, In
this region on Wednesday evening of last week and
seemed to be lingering until Thursday evening The
tops of some of the tender plants furnish evidences
believe no great injury was done to the crops.
Snakes,
1t is said that snakes are so charmed when bro't
under the influence of music, to be rendered per-
feety harmless If this is true, there will be little
danger in future from this species of reptile, should
l.. b. Powell, of Scranton, continue TO flood the
country around him with musical instruments,
he is now doing.
The River Bridge at this place Is being
pushed forward by Col Marcy, the contractor, with
eommendable energy. The stringers for the first
span are being put the false work, and the pier
is well nigh completed. If no accident occurs to de-
lay it, the bridge WILL we assured be ready for
crossing in sixty days
Another Mass Meeting. ..-.
The Democrats of Forkston, in this county, pro-
pose to hold Democratic Meeting in that Town
ship, between this and the day of the general cleo
tion. The .time names ofSpeakers &C. will probably
be announced in our next.
Little more Cider.
As the season for making cider has arrived and
our friends may be looking about for the ma
chinery to fix up their press, call attention to
the fact that Cider Mill Press screws, of the most
approved pattern, Manufactured at q. d. Gear
hart & Co.'S Foundry, at this place.
New store at keisarViiie.
J. 5, Swisher and c. S. Fargo, we learn, are
about opening up a new Store at Keiseryille. Mr.
Swisher, one of the firm with whom we are acquain-
ted, is an enterprisng,and agreeable young man.
We bespeak for them liberal share of the trade of
that region,
Railroad matters.
The Railroad bridge pier and the north abutment
& -
ing abutment are being laid.
Mr. Morgan, who has the heavy dirt fill for the R.
R. south of the bridge, is driving his work with
large force of men and teams. Mr. u. Wright, who
has the fill the north end of the bridge will have
his work finished in a few weeks at farthest. The
rails which are now laid up as far as LAGRANGE,
(Osterhout's Mills,) will probably be laid to the
lock below this place within the next three weeks
That point, which is about mile from the centre of
town. will be station until the completion of the
bridge, which will probably occur late in the season.
Noisy.
We occasionally hear ga sound of revelry by |
does not indicate that all goes on as
merry as a marriage bell-but, that somebody has |
become most outrageously drunk. We wish, for the
credit and the quiet of the town. those who feel that
they must drink to keep up their healths would
take kind of bitters not strongly tnetured with
wildcats and screech-owls
Mammoth Squash,
Mr.. Simon Armstrong, of Overfeld, presented us
the other day, with squash which measures up |
wards Of four and half feet in circumference. We
did not weigh it, but feel certain, from the tug
had in moving it, that it is very meaty specimen.
We might add that the vine which bore 1t was |
nourished by good Democratic SOIL and cultivated
BY hands that always deposit democratic tickets
Nicholson all Right.
Editor Woming DemocrGt-Sm:
Permit me to in |
form YOU that we are working earnestly, and pro-
crossing exceedingly WE'LL in swelling the Demo |
cratic ranks in this vicinity. Let every true friend
to Democracy, everywhere, arouse and lend his
hand and heart to the cause we are maintaining |
and wiring from radical hands our tattered Consti |
tuition and place it again in those of its former keep
ers-to be preserved and defended by honest men, |
and not by usurpers, carpetbaggers and renegades.
Yours in Democracy,
AN ADOPTED CITIZEN.
The ''Kink I'm the Back''
The latest fashion for ladies is style of walking
bending the body forward at an inclination Of about
hrty degrees-whch has been very appropriately |
termed by a cOtemporary the ''kink in the back
lady adopting this ridiculous fashion has very |
much the appearance of dromedary trying to walk
slack rope. 1t is much in vogue in the cities, but
We trust that country ladies too sensible to ac
erpt this decree Of Queen Fashion, although they |
Lave adopted one by one, every other ridiculous no
''n Of hers heretofore. We saw it stated week or
ago, that "the mouth will open this season. We
'-eh looked upon 1t joke but why should it not
Dc 50, since the ''crOok back" monstrosity We are
prepared for anything in the line Of "FashiOn for
Lldies"-E
