Friend ViIrcrt:
AS your paper is thoroughly ''home Journal
devoted to the interests of the country, in CIV
ing the residents of each section information of
all the others, / thought n few lines from.
town might be of interest to your readers gene
rally. Like all other sections of the country the
pahc was quite damper on us in financial mat
ters, money being scarce as diamonds in the
large cluster pins so extensively worn-in fact
We have almost concluded to return to the prim-
tive mode of transacting business, viz, inter-
change OF produce without using money a go
between. AS the spring approaches, however,
we find some light shine which gives pro
mise of better times, we already evidence of
greater activity in the preparations making in
different parts Of our town, for the erection of
new buildings, the lumber and stone being in
course of preparation, and some having been de-
livered and ready for operations as soon the
weather permits. 1. II. Rcsslcr, one of or
terprising citizens, has laid out n number oftown
lots which are being rapidly sold at moderate
prices. \ number of dwellings will be erected
uEon them during the coming summer.
Notwithstanding the hard times, our mer-
ing been obliged to suspend. The lumber mill of
Messrs. Monteus, Bachman & Co., have been
kept running constantly with a full force, and
they are daily turning out large quantities of
stock and bill timber, and We think it would be
to the advantage of builders IN other sections of
the county to give them a call, az they are de-
termined not to be outdone, either in the quality
Of lumber, or moderate rate of prices.
Our mp town merchants, p. S. Bckel Il Bro,
have in store large stock Of goods which they
are delivering to their customers at very fair
prices. while our down town merchants, A. Dit
ty & Son. determined not to be undersOld. are
?urnshin" their customers with all kinds of
dry-goo Is. groceries, &C., at prices which beat
the Sunbury market, SO much SO that many of
your cit izens purchase here matter of ecOnO-
my. Our hotel accommodations are ample, and
any of your citizens wishing to spend week or
two this spring in cunning and fishing, will find
that our hotei keepers know how to entertain
their friends. Friend Rothermel, of the Railroad,
and Sarge, of the Sns luehanna House, arc al
ways their po~ls-while 'mne host" Wad,
of the National. is constantly on the lookout to
ascertain how he can further minister to the
wants Of his guesIs and, since his recent visit
to Danville, TO n German sociable held there, is
more smiling and eiElble, if that were possible
than ever. Bingaman & Co., are preparing for
more active work this spring in the coal and
lumber trade. Our agricultural advantages are
un -urpassed by any in the county, and our pro-
ducts not excelIed hy any. Witness our prices
Butter, 25 and 80 cts per ID Eggs, IS cts per
doz Lard, 10 cts per To-. Potitoes, SO cts per
bush., and all other articles in proportion. We
have a live go-ahead community as is evidenced
in the fact that some fifty copies of the Amsrtedu
alone, are received at thi- office.

space at present, but close with promise to
keep you posted as We progress i'll improvements.
