castings have gone up i'll price Immensely,
and orders for some patterns Of stoves can
not be h!Icd. Nevertheless, Frank till sells

they are well graded. The school directors
/ OF those boroughs are doing matters up

! Three young ladies', named Smith, died
very suddenly in Ligonier valley few days
ago OF dlpthcria, each one being only three

/ iron and steel rails are made as usual, though
the operatives are not as we'll protected from
tbs imclemency of the weather rs they were

We are sorry TO learn that "Soitero" has
been afflicted but hope thus he is now
sufficiently reCupcratcd to enjoy his Christ
mas ganGer. Nothing like eating after a
fever. Look out if he does not gain one
pound a day
Geo. Francis Train was here, but did not
please every one. Too much Woodruff &
Clatfin about him. Like the renowned
Greeley, he injured himself hv his proDosi-
ton 10 go hail. Mrs. Richings' Opera Troupe
was here last Friday evening but had not a
crowded house. Too much ''ZoOtic' about
the purse
The last spell was extremely cold for
the time of year. Ice was formed on the
ponds and small streams quite thick and the

We have been looking in vain for a weekly V
/ letter from Rob Roy, but we have learned

his letters We're always Ieplete with items
/ of interest Hope he may yet recover the
use OF his arm.
Leap year will soon he gone done If any
! young lady, old maid, or widow feels like
matrimonizing, now is the time to commit
I themselves to the soft impeachment Ques-
/ ton Biubber it right out before the new
I year. We know lots of men whose anxious
/ hearts are palpitating for proposal
! The Somerset railroad has the ''zootic ."
( Ii is now about as far advanced as Thad.
| Stevens tape worm railroad was before II
| was made. 1t is not probable that the boding
! owl of Shade township will be frightened by
! the screams of the bullgine, until some time
after the Centennial Celebration.
Now that the Republicans have all the
| power and plunder to themselves, would
it not be we'll, in anticipation of the great
/ decimatiOn OF horse flesh by the new dis-
| temper. to introduce Chinese cheap labor
to supply the place of horses and ''niggers? -
1t would be entirely consistent with new
! moral ideas.
The holidays rapidly approaching.
The poor are still with us- Now, kind read
! er, don't be parsimonious. Give your poor
neighbor share of what God has given you.
| Bestow some act of kindness upon every
| child you meet. Cast thy bread upon the
waters, and thou shalt find it after many
days"
{ Let some well-to-do farmer remember the
printer \ gift-turkey eats sweeter than 4
purchased one. There is the milk of human
kindness in it; the juice of gratitude; the
flavor of obligation performed a thank
cup OF cold water given to a disciple, and it
/ will be remembered. PARAGRAPH.
