OUR Danville cotempararies, as an offset to the
rowdy visit from that town to this place, few
weeks ego, report the advent in that town of q
Sunbury female, named Flora johnson, who, it
appears, has been behaving in a rude manner aud
"kicking up the devil in one of their Churches -
for which offence she was incarcerated in prison.
Our ncighbors are evidently mistaken as to the
nativity OF Flora, as she lie no resident of Sun
bury. On inquiry, we nd that she came from
Danville, where she alleges to have a husband
living, few months ago, and took up boarding
in Upper Augusta township, where she ensnared
youth of that township into the matrimonial
moose. A few days after the occurrence she de-
clar red her intention OF obtaining a divorce from
husband No. =, aud join husband No. l. AS
tl l,- h.o,, ....
sumo Flora has got her P"Pe's from the Demo-
cratic Justice of the Peace, who, several years
ago, furnished document of. that sort to an
other party of similar character, which after
wards found its way into Williamsport paper,
aud we presume Flora, after being freed from
husband No. 2, was rejoiccd TO find herself once
more in her native town, probably with her origi-
nal husband and former admirers.
CANDIDATE FOR PRorHoSoTARY.-We are re
quested to state that Mr.. John a. Taylor, OF
Northumberland, will be candidate for the
office of Prothonotary at the ensuing election.
Mr.. Taylor Ia favorably known throughout the
county as worthy, honorable and dignfed
gentleman. In his business, as tombstone cut
ter, for upwards of fifty years, he has made host
of friends, and but few enemies. He was frequent
ly urged to accept public Office, which he declin.
cd, preferring hard labor TO becoming an Office
holder. About Il year ago he met with an acci.
dent on the railroad between this place aid Nor.
thumberand, whereby he lost his right arm
which now deprves him from following his avo
cation for II living. He has therefore consented
on the urgent request of numerous friends o
both parties, to become a candidate at the nex
general election. He therefore appeals to tht
voters of Northumberland county for their suf
frages, to give him position to maintain his
family.
We are requested to give publicity 10 the fol
lowing letter from DR.. Raker, of Lower Augusta
who was severely injured last fall by falling
down stairs ut his residence:
