Gold, the love of which is said to
be the root of all evil, is circulating
to some extent in our place. Our eyes
were gladdened last evening by the
sight of $50 gold piece. 1t might
be we'll to state, however, that the
money belonged to another fellow,and
our exhilaration was therefore in due
bounds.
Strangers with shot!guns come
through here en- route for the woods for
the purpose of Staying the painting
deer. For the sake of information,
will state that a rifle is preferable for
this kind of game, and that the shot
gun chaps will probably be able to
carry all the deer they slay with those
high.priced fowling pices.
Mr. Harry Bates has been engaged
to teach the balance of the winter term
of school, the previous teacher having
been discharged by the. board on ac-
count of his extreme devotion to the
shrine of Bacchus. Mr.. Bates grad
uated with honors, last summer, at
Allegheny College, and will, doubt
less, be teacher who will give salts
faction TO allsparties. u
Uncle Billy Grove, VIM. Law
renee, Davy Bilands and John HUI
lings departed for the woods on Monday
morning, taking with them bedclothes,
provisions, arms, ammunition &c. in
quantities, enough to last them at least
a month. Fluids, we believe, were
not forgotten, or else that was an awful
big keg of powder they slowed away
under one of the seats. They propose
to be gone three or four weeks, and
will undoubtedly make it interesting
for the deers, bears, &C., which infest
those regions.
BY reason of resolution offered
by Harry White, and adopted by the
constitutional convention, the law of
the State, which provided that the
New Constitution, or amendments to
the old one should be published in two
papers in each county, is set aside, and
the whole job and the profits thereof,
are thrown into the hands of B. Sin.
gerly, State Printer. This is un.
doubtedly very satisfactory to Mr..
Singerly, but it don't suit us worth a
cent. These high-minded, economical
eusses are everlastingly trying to grind
down the printers, as in the case of
the abolition of free exchanges, max
ing postage payable on papers, circu-
lated in the county, or, as in this case,
setting aside the laws of the State, for
the benefit of one man, to the preju.
dice of all the rest. Young Harry,
we must say you beat the Old Harry
for sanctimonious cussedness.
Thanksgiving is coming on and
still we don't see any turkeys offered
for sale. 1t has been suggested that
there isn't much to be thankful for
this year, and that n turkey is an un-
necessary expense. This is mistake
because, Notwithstanding the closeness
of the times, our circulating medium,
what there is of it in circulation, is
still good, land we have not the anxiety
that was attendant upon former panics
because of the instability of the curren-
cy of those times. Be thankful for
this. BE thankful for health. BE thank.
ful for bountiful harvests, and above
all, he thankful that the Constitution
al Convention has adjourned and is
not likely to meet again. When you
think of your troubles, just turn
around and think of your blessings,
aud the probabilities are that there
Will be a balance in favor of the bless
ings. Therefore, let us observe Thanks
giving in a proper manner, and we
will not regret it in future years.
The December number of Ballou's
Magazine is a most attractive number
-oue of the best that we have seen
this year. 1t contains some thirty diff
ferent articles, and each is of remark
able interest to the general reader.
The stories in this issue are fresh and
good, the poetry eloquent and fervent,
