To keep pace with the dull times we
pledge ourselves to sell the best fresh

ing prices; A, 75c per cam B, Goo per
can; C, SOC per can. These prices will
be strictly adhered to during the entire
season. Turkeys, celery, game and fish
of all kinds at reduced prices. We can
and will guarantee to sell lower than
any wholesale or retail house in Mem
phis, and have done so for the past eight
years. We do not wait until the market
is glutted to reduce prices, but we make
it point to keep them down during the

Col. VICTORE, PGOLLET, well known
to the people Of this county, met with
a most annoying and at the same time
Iudicrous adventure whilst on a visit,
recently, to his friend DR.. G. b. Linder-
man in south Bethlehem. On waking
in the morning the Col. was unable to
find any of his clothing and, upon in
quiry, discovered thatsome adroit thief
had entered his room during the night
and appropriated the garments to his
own use. This was truly an unfortun-
ate predicamont which was rendered
more so by the fact that none Of his
hosts clothing would fit him. lie was
in consequence obliged to return to bed
until suitable habiliments could be pro
cured. DR.. Linderman lost quaint ity
Of siiverware and most of his clothing
by the same audacous robber.

Buckh0rn, February %, 1872.

MR.. EDIToR:-HaVing noticed com
munication in the Republican sigued
Enterprise" advocating Railroad
from Bloomsbury to OrangeviIle, and
thinking another communication upon
the subject in the would not
be- amiss, the writer will use his best
efforts to further the said Railroad, as
he believes it would be Of great value
to the business community through
which it would pass, by vastly increas-
| ing all manner Of business. 1t must be
acknowledged that the traffic up Fish
| ingcreek is immense and the writer has
often wondered why men Of energy,
activity, and enterprise, (Who have
used their influence in building other
Railways) have overlooked the steadily
! increasing necessity for Road from
Bloomsbury to Orangeville. Why is it
that our men of capital go to distant
parts of our State to invest it, when it
should be used to develop our own re-
sources and railway facilities at home
The above mentioned Railway would
be of immense benefit TO Bloomsbury
giving to her machine shops and foun,
dries an increase of trade. New ones
would be built up and thus consume
the iron smelted at our own furnaces
and would give employment to hun
dreds of mechanics. Have we any men
of energy, activity and enterprise who
will take hold of this project? Ifso
let a meeting be called and action taker
in the matter at once, We believe
Charter is already in existence for tht
Road if not why cannot the n, d w
Branch Railroad run from Bloomsbure
to Orapgeville, then to Millville and vi
,, Little Fishingcreck? Let US hear from
others upon the above subject, Nor

IN the interest of long suffering and
gently complaining community, we
beg to make a suggestion to designers
of stove patterns. 1t is, that the hearths
should always be plain and smooth and
also slightly descending from the stove,
so that they may be claaned and kept
clean, with an ordinary expenditure
of labor and temper. The filagree work
upon most of them is an outrage and
nuisance, and requires to be reformed
altogether,

COMMUNICATED.

MR.. EDITOR:-The members of the
Order Of United American Mechanics
of this place, wishing to celebrate the
birthday of the Father of our country,
thought they could in no way enjoy
themselves better than by having sup.
per whereat they could mingle together
and share with each other that brother
IL love which exists or should exist in
every order. Consequently the Com
mittee, with the assistance of your
townsman, Mr.. B. Laycock, who IS a
gentleman in every respect and who
knows what prime oysters are, procured
two thousand of them, which, with pies
and cakes, afforded splendid supper,
at which the members, with their good
danes, partooI with very much appre'
citation.
The Order is young, though under
very prosperous circumstances and EN-
braces most of the prominent citizens
of this community.
Respectfully yours,

THE irregularity of the mails at
Bloomsbury is becoming unbearable.
Every day some one of them, at least,
is sdeayed. The annoyance to business
men and to those whose time is valua-
BILE, is excessive. 1t seems as if all the
railroads or all the mail agents had
conspired TO deprive our citizens OF
whatever of good nature they may yet
possess. There is no redress as far as
railroads are concerned, for no power
on earth can force them to run on time,
so we can but exercise our forbearanee
for these which so despitefully use us
and persecute us.

THE Legislature has now been in
session two months, and has not yet
passed one single general bill into q
law !; at any rate Legal Opinion" :"

temporaneously with their passage, has
not yet given us any results of their
labors. We should regard this as pretty
slow work, or rather as no work at all.
If the facts are as we suppose, there is
some heavy work before them, includ-
ing the appropriation and the appor-
tiOnment bills andit is possible they are
working at them.
