ANOTHER WooD-HAuLNG. There
was lively time in and around the
Reformed parsonage of Schellsburg,
on Friday. the nth inst, The country
members Of Rev. Skyles' charge had
set apart that day to replenish their
pastors wood pile; and quite hand
somely did they accomplish their good
work. About half-pa ten O'Clock,
wagons, heavily laden with wood,
came streaming into town from differ
ent directions, some Of which were
topped with bag of oats, corn, or APP
pies, or a fine fat turkey. These warm
hearted people 10 not want their pas

wants. After unburdening the wag
ons of their contents. these good people
were invited into the Parsonage, where
they partook of bountifu repast pre-
pared for them. to which all parties
coneerneerned done ample justice, after
which they returned to their homes,

SEND IN LOCAL NEws.-A eontem-
porary very appropriately requests
that its friends throughout the county
furnish it with local news. The argu-
ments it uses are strong ones, and we
hope the readers of the GAZETTE will
follow the advice given, and forward
| us all items Of public interest. 1t
says:
There is nothing that adds so much
/ to the value Of a county paper as lib
/ eral supply Of home news. Nothing
+ is needed to accomplish this but for
1 some one of ordinary Intelligence in
4 each neighborho0d TO send for publica-
/ ton whatever events of local interest
/ may transpire. Many eVentsmay hap
i pen of local interest that some persons
/ think not of sufficient consequence to
4 send for publication bat it il Il pretty
good rule 10 lay down that whatever
i excites interest among the people OF
/ the ueighborhoOd is a matter OF sutti-
cient interest for publication IN the
/ county paper Whateverhappens that
! people are sure TO talk about, when
! thew meet. will interest them, if they
! see it in the paper. An unusually
large crop, the sale OF real estate, accI-
4 dents Of any character either 10 man
] or animals, an unusally large day $
work, or the thousand and one things
/ that form the staple of conversation
/ throughout the country, will contrib
ute to make the columns Of county
/ paper interesting aud attractive. Send
in your items, friends, and all our rea-
/ ders will thank you.
IRREPREssIBLE CONFLICT - COgR0-
aae,a to be Changed! Bloody RIM Both
cred! Society Shaken from Cef1ter TO
( Outskirts an Earthquake looted for.
Our neighboring town, Bloody Run,
has been agitated-terribly convulsed
ON the question of changing the
name of that place. The subject has
I been worn threadbare in the Press.
Shakespeare, Pompey, Cassius, Cesar
and Brutus have been quoted, pro and
con, by enthusiastic scribblers; the
classical "IconocIast" and the terrible
'Imagebreaker" have each exhausted
themselves, and have thrown up the
sponge, and cried in beautiful but des-
pairing language, 1--WE have doDe!"
Yet nothing has been accomplished.
Bloody Run is Bloody Run still. Can
! nothing be done for that afflicted COM
munity ? We are an outsider in this
matter, but we would respectfully beg
leave to suggest that Geary be request
ed to issue a supplemental procla-
nation on the subject, or send petit
tiOns to Congress to declare Bloody
Run out of the Union, and have it re-
constructed. If that will not answer,
send for a committee Of Chinese and
Indians and let them select a name.
Something must be done soon. Bloody
Run has got it, and got it bad, toe.
We notice that on last Friday the
''Gregorian Heavens! what a name,
Literary Society" came to the relief OF
the citizens and the press, and took up
the all-absorbing issue in learned and
exhaustive debate, thusly, "ReSolged-
That the name Of o1r torn should be
! changed" We understand that as
1 soon as this interesting subject is.decid-
ed, the following questions will be elu-
cidated in the order in which they are
placed: Which is the hind end ofa aci1d-
mill? Has ancient Greece iltbrica-
ting? What is the neatal, physical and
conploceatiai difference detWeea "Itcee-
d6e-dee and IeeedLe-dun2 hsiser, don't
yu rant to pay a doyg? Opinions, in
writing, can be sent to the President,
but must be postpaid 10 insure respect
ful consideration.
