Having seen nothing in the REPUBfI-
CAN for some time from our quiet little
village, a few items might not be with
out interest to its readers.
We are glad to know that the large
Touring mill of B. +. Posten will soon
be finished. 1t will supply a want long
felt by the farmers OF this vicinity, and
add to the prosperity of the town. Ben
will be found at home inhis neat little mill
office, and will be glad to see one and
all. Call and have a talk with him.
Jas. M. McBrien continues to give
good bargains to all who favor him with
their patronage, and keeps a good stock
of general merchandise.
K. T. Beckett displays his usual even
temper and a fine stock Of merchandise
to his many customers.
NJ. Conway sticks to his bush. and is
pleased to see any who wish to buy dry
goods or hardware. His main object in
life is TO keep cool. You are correct,
Noses keep cool.
Business is good for the time of the
year. Harvest being on hands, the
farmers have but little time to attend to
other matters just now, and for this rea-
son, trade is q little dull.
There will he no celebration at this
place on the Fourth. Most of our town
folks will go to Bolckow, where a large
crowd and a good time is expected upon
that day, We wish our Bolckow friends
success. They will do all in their pow
err to please enc and all, and they know
how to please. w.

Wheat harvest is now on hands.

Vegetables are abundant and good.
Potatoes are good and promise Il fine
crop. Fried chickens are just begin
ming TO ripcn, with Il good assortment
on hands. Cherries are ripening, and
pies have put in III appearance.
The surface of things is generally
smooth in Flag Springs. Now and

here and there Il water spout will shoot
up, and ruille the tranquil borders, but
soon sinks to rest again.
Business is generally dull. Our re-
ligious privileges are very good; preach

There have been no marriages or

hope there will be none for n long time
to come; of the former, the crop is
likely to be abundant from The present
outlook. MAX.

THE cERSE OF CHINA.

A San Francisco reporter has explored the
Chinesque quarter of that city, and gives the
following description of an opium den "The
bold explorer finds himself in a room ten feet
Dquare, fitted up like the Storage Of ship.
The half dozen hunks, one above the other,
occupy three sides ofthe dark, filthy apartment,
and strips of mating form the only covering.
An apology for a pillow rests at the head of
each bunk, and single blanket is within the
reach of the occupant, when he shall need it..
The room is feebly lighted with lamp, and its
rays do not penetrate far into the Plutonian
blackncss OF even the small room, leaving the
forms curled up in the blankets on the shelves
indistinct and uncertain. A yellow, skeleton
Like human being sits before the table, upon
which rests the lamp, and before him are
several bone walls, steel wires, and uncouth
pipes. The occupation of two men lying upon
their sides in one of the hunks reveals the
character of the place. A lighted taper burns
in a saucer full of oil between them, and one
of the men is inserting one of the steel wires,
upon the end of which is a dark substance,
apparently glutinous in its character, into
the flame of the taper, and afterwards through
the minute oriice of the bowl of the pipe, at
which the other slowly puffs, sending thin blue
streams of smoke from his nostrils. The same
operation is repeated whenever the supply in
the pipe is exhausted, until the smoker sinks
TO slumber and reaches that heaven of untold
joys, or finds he has reached the antipodes of
elysium, where pain racks the frame and
shapes of horrible mien burst upon him at
every turn.

COSTLY MARRIAGE GIFTS.

A marriage fete recently came off in Hano-
yer Square, London, which, owing to the H.
ture and number of costly gifts, as well as to
the wealth and standing of the contracting
parties, created a great stir among the English
aristocracy. The bride was Miss Marjorbanks
and the bridegroom Mr.. Ridley, NJ. P. The
ceremony took place in St. Georges church,
where the rank and fashion of the Metropolis
assembled in large numbers to participate in
the festivities. After the blessing had been
pronounced on the welded pair the parents of
the bride invited the guests to inspect the
bridal presents, which were displayed at their
residence. One table was laid out with mag
nificent jewels, comprising, among others, Sir
Dudley and Lady Marjoribanks' present, a
magnificent tiara with five stars, earrings and
radiated star of brilliants of the first water;
from Mr. aud Mrs. Edward Marjoribanks q
necklace and pendant, together with
bracelets and earrings of diamonds, style
Louis XIV: from Sir Matthew Ridley, father of
the bridegroom, necklace, earrings and
brooch, together with two bracelets set with
diamonds and carbuncles, case of three gem
rings, one of single stone brilliant, another of
an emerald surrounded with small brtlliants,
<nd a ruby of remarkable color and purity,
also surrounded with small brilliants, and q
sarbuncle and brilliant ring. On the same
table was a splendid present from the ten
antry of Guisachan, consisting of Scotch gold
bracelet, earrings and pendants set with pearls,
and Scotch gold coronet, or tiara, set with
pearls, from Sir Dudley's Inverness tradespeo-
pie. There were besides twenty-seyen neck
taces, eighteen lockets, twenty -four pairs of
bracelets, thirteen lockets, seven tiaras, and
fourteen pairs of ear-rings-all of tho finest
gold and get with pearls, diamonds, rubies,
sapphires, turquoise, and coral. Another
table was laid out with some exquisite fans,
several being of marvellous beauty. The
largest and principle table was covered with
silver, gilt, and other plate of the finest work.
