Democrat, John J. Auten, explains itself:
"THE Sunbury Democrat" and Sunbury
American" are discussing the actions of the
outgoing and incoming Register and Recorders
ofths county, relative to parcel of blanks. 1t
appears during the elk years Leisenrlbg was in
office, he got his blanks printed in Philadelphia
and when his term expired he had nearly one
hundred quires left, which he sold to Shipman
We are disinterested party in the matter, not
having had any business with Jake Leisenripg
since he SHAVED us IA dollar on a county order,
and from Shipmau we expect no patronage nor
will We ask any favors. Getting those blanks in
Philadelphia was one of Leisenring's many mean,
scurvy transactions, and Shipman did himself no
credit by taking them oil his hands.

men find regular employment. Mr.. Clement ge-
nerously retained all his hands when the panic
started, aud as work slackened, he found en-
ployment for them in building new houses in diff
ferent parts Of the town. He has about thirty
men employed and though no income from his
lumber business, he manages to keep them at
work to maintain their families during the vim
ter. This is certainly showing a most generous
disposition If more of our wealthy men would
follow Mr.. Clement IN this particular, there
woulI be much less distress among those who
are dependen; upon their labor for support, and
the cry of hard times would not be heard on eve

vacant lots for sale at low prices for the purpose
of getting other parties to build to create work,
thus trying to extend his generosity still further.
