LOCAL AFFAIRS.
BOOts.-For the best and cheapest to he
found call at FoRD's, Zion.
For Rent.-A new dwelling house, apply
to JOSEPH WELLS.
Wilson is still alive in the Grove-at B.
NJ. House.
Seelig & Bros is the place to buy your
Fall and Winter Clothing.
They Sell Goods Cheaper at sEEL1G d
Bro s than any other place in town.
New GOods-aro rapidly disappearing
from the Empire Store, Zion; but there
need be no apprehensions the supply will
fail, as there are new arrivals every week.
Mrs. Rosa Cams is prepared to display |
great variety of the latest styles OF Fall
Millinery Goods, and continues to attend
to Fashionable Dressmaking.
New Goods-New GOods.-Just received
at Wilson's, in the Grove. He has fine
assortment of Flannels, Muslin, &c., &c., |
which he is selling at city prices. Call and
be convinced.
Question.-Why is it that l. N. Benja-
min, of North East, sells SO many stoves?
Ansner-Because his stoves are the very !
kind the people want, and he sells them
cheap.
Lewis has no special periods or grand !
openings, but one continued line of GRAND
goods and low prices, so that those visiting |
his store once, never fail to return, and
though they may have travelled far, and
searched in vain for something to satisfy |
them, have never been known to seek
further after reaching LEWIS.
A Big StOck.-If all the Summer Clothes
on all the shelves and counters of all the |
clothing stores in Philadelphia were put |
together they would not equal the stock of
Oak Hall alone. All sizes, all styles, all
shapes all colors, all we've materials. And
of all prices, the cheapest ever known.
The Eye.-Persons troubled with weak
or defective eyes, we would respectfully
call the attention of, to the Patent Ivory
Eye Tubes, advertised by Mr.. 3. C. Bddle,
of Pivot Bridge. These instruments are
highly spoken Of by men learned in the
science of Optics, and we should think that
any person afflicted with an affection of the
eye would be anxious to make a trial of
their virtues without delay.
Phrenology and Observation-Disclosures
Cowan's lectures that began last evening
in the Odd Fellows Hall, promise to be
highly instructive. 1t will afford moro
than an ordinary entertainment to all
christians to hear his lectures upon the
mysteries of the soul, in which he promises
to explain how Christ wrought miracles
upon earth how the universe was brought
into existence; how God controls his crea-
lures; how mans soul connects with and
moves the body, &c. Illustrated by won
derful experiments in mesmerism. These
lectures meet with general success.
A Northumberland Hinton, a col
ored man, residing in Port Deposit, was
registered last week and gave his age 112
years. Some of his acquaintance place
his age at 118, and others as high as 122
years. He does not know his age, exactly.
Our informant says: CATER he was regis
tered he walked out of the registers Office
and down the street as though he were not
more than eighty. He was much delight
ed, saying although he had lived SO many
years, he never felt like man among
men till that day." Wonderful, magical 1
power is freedom, with her unapproacha-
BILE prerogatives. He was slave for sixty
years or upward.
The Autobiography Of John B. Cough
Rev. S. Logan, of Charlestown is at present
canvassing the county for subscriptions to
this intensely interesting book. All who
have heard of the great Temperance Lee
turer will have n desire to read the account .
of his life and personal recollections, as
portrayed by himself The subscription !
price of this remarkable volume is from
1925 to $3.50. Those who let the present
opportunity escape without procuring this
deeply interesting work may regret in
future, the neglect which deprived them of
,
useful knowledge, as the book is only sold
by subscription.
Large Yield Of COrn.-Mr. Joseph r.
Thomas Of Woodlawn, sends us the fol-
lowing account of an immense yield of corn.
1t would be of interest to the public to
know what variety of corn produced this
large CROP and how MANFRED and cult
waited:
81 have just husked lot of corn. The
lot is 1O7 yards by 81 yards. Product, 45
barrels had one barrel shelled, and it
made II bushels. Mr.. Warning made the
calculation and finds it to be 7-12 of an
acre. Yield at the rate of III bushels per
acre. The lot was small, and it grew under
the shade of four large locust, three large
cherry trees, and an orchard across one
end.''
Something NeW.-At last we have
female Doctor offering her services to the
afflicted ladies of Elkton. In to-day's
Wing, Mrs. DR.. Ward, of Philadelphia,
asserts her claims to the notice of the pub
lie, as an Electropathic Physician, who,
her advertisement tells US, has had the ex-
perience Of 30 years in the treatment of
female diseases, particularly Of the organic
class, by an electric process, almost en-
tlrely her own. Her consultations are
free, and females suffering with diseases
which in nnmberless instances they indure
through weary years of chronic suffering,
rather than consult male physician, have
now an opportunity Of trying one of their
own sex.
Sabbath School Celebration.-The
annual celebration of Monroe Sunday
school was held in Krauss' grove, near
West Nottingham, on Saturday last The
day was passed very pleasantly by all
