yertown, n circular Mill for Geo. Kern,
and Sash Mll, at same place, for
Henry Kern. II is said that the com

OUR Notwithstanding the con-
slant rainy weather during last week,
our Fair was reasonably well attended,
and had not the f,itcs been against us, it
il admitted on all sides that il would
have been n grand affair. The officers
did all in their power to make mp for
the rainy season. The balloon a>CCn-
sion would have been made, but for the
wet weather. Prof Phillip used every
effort 10 avoid disappointment, hut he
too could not cotrol events. His rope
walking and trapeze performances were
ofthe first order-hc deserves praise
for his efforts. The display was good.
Good order prevailed and no accidents.

Ihodating Agent at this Station, John
bigger Esq. has been superseded 10y
Mr.. Wood formerly of Mcclure. This
change is received in this community
with universal regre., we may say in
dignation. Not that we have anything
against Wr. Wood, we believe him to.
he gentleman, but N. Bilger gave
such general satisfaction, that. with per-
haps one or two exceptions. and those
from personal interest, the citizens en-
dorsed him en B3dsse. This change Of
agents is entirely uncaled for and
looks as though it was made TO crafty
the whims and caprices ola few officials
who are running this road in their own
interest regardless of the interests of
the company, or the wishes and com
forts of the people who furnished the
money to build and continue their pa
tronage which keeps it mp. At all
events, we will venture the assertion,
and we know of what we affirm that
for euery name that can be got who will
endorse this change, fifty can he found
in favor of changing the official who
made it.
THE GREAT STRIDE. The displayed
advertisement pf Wanamakcr & Brown
that appears in our columns to-day,
will he read 10y thousands who turn
away with indifference from the offers
of new and unknown concerns. This
greatest of American Clothing Houses,
corner of Sixth and Market streets
Philadelphia, has kept in the van of
business for many years, and The
Great Stride as the advertiser justly
term this new departure, proves that
what large capital, an extensive circle
of customers, an unblcmishcd rcputa-
ton, and brain secthing with plans
Improvement can do to build up
and extend business. We advise
every person who visits Philadelphia,
ogive halfa an hourto Oak Hall. The
very history of the clothing trade can
be read upon the labels attached to
that immense stock of goods for every
garment bears the name and character
of its materials upon printed slip.
There is but one price for every pur-
chaser, & n signed guarantee accompa-
nies each garment, whereby it may be
returned, and the money received back
