M. Carpenter is at home again
with ali his Photographic paraphrana-
liza and singing books. Notwithstand-
ing that he was kept very busy in both |
these lines while at Lickingville, he
returns home refreshed, and will take

We have received the premium
list of the Conneautville Fair, which
will take place on Sept. 30th and Oct.
1st and I'd. The fairs at that place
have been celebrated for their merit
for a number Of years, and no county
fair in the State is better managed, or
has more interest taken in it by the
country surrounding.

The Supreme Court Of this State
has just decided that the public sale of
unclaimed packages by express com
1 panies, which are unopened, is fraud
upon the rights of the owner, and that
the Company is liable for the value of
the goods. This is a decision of con-
siderable public importance.
Johns, os the Emlenton Messenger
has concluded not to go to the Legis-
lature next winter, and therefore with
draws his name as an independent
candidate for that position. This is a
clear case of self-denial as Johns
might just as we'll as not take the
position and emoluments.
-Yokohoma Lodge of Odd Fellows
will hold picnic on the Camp Meet

weather is good good time will un'
doubtedly result.
The sidewalk on Church St., be-
tween Blum's blacksmith shop and

condition, and if not soon mended
may cause some broken bones. We
would call the attention of our coun'
Gil to this matter.

"A counterfeit twenty dollar note
of the Mechanics National Bank of
New York was discovered at the Treas.
ury Department among some National
bank currency sent there for redemp-
ton. This counterfeit is so well exc
cuted that it passed undiscovered
through the hands of several counters,
but when it reached the Division of
Issues it, was detected by q lady
counter. The Comptroller of the Cur
rency will add this series to the al
ready lengthy list of National bank
notes to be called in for cancellation,
the rule being to call in and abolish
by CANCELLATION the whole issue of
each denomination Of bank that is
successfully counterfeited.
The Neillsburg base ball club

which were made, however, and, had

Col. Thomas is still burning brick.
He has quite large quantity on hand
and is getting more ready to burn. So
many new houses are going up, we
hope to see brick taken instead of

The Colonel has taken the initiatory
steps by getting the brick on the
ground for his new dwelling on the lot
opposite the Sheriff s house. He will
not commence to build before next
summer.
There has been considerable talk
about organizing military company
here. Don't LET it end in talk, boys
get up a paper and enlist able bodied
young men. There is no good reason
why We shouldn't have one Of the best
companies in this part of the State, as
we have several veteran army officers
among us, any of whom would proba-

PAINFUL ACCrDENr.- Mr.. o. III. Hickok a
teamster on the Folsom and Georgetown road,
met with painful accident, on Thursday OF
last week. Having stopped to water his team,
near Bayley's Ranch, the horses, from some
cause, took fright, and started to run. Mr..
Hiekok, in attempting to stop them, was thrown
down, the front wheel passing over his right
hand, crushing it severely, and breaking several
of the bones. One Of the hind wheels passed over
his right arm, between the elbow and shoulder,
crushing it terribly, and breaking the bone in
several places. The team ran away and two of
the horses were killed. Dr. Joseph Frey, of
Newcastle. and DR.. 7. NJ. Todd, Of Auburn, were
called and amputated the arm at or near the
shoulder. Mr.. Hickok is doing WELL and it is
thought that he will make rapid recovery

GOLD RUN.-We paid visit to this town Of
brave men and noble women, early in the week
and were pleased to notice an expression on the
outward countenance of the place which denoted
general contentment, and pretty good times
We are under obligations to numerous citizens of
that place for various kindnesses during our stay.
which without mentioning names, for fear we
should omit some deserving one, we take pleasure
in acknowledging. We left feeling good towards
everybody, and inclined to the opinion, egotisti-
cal as it may seem. that everybody feels kindly
toward us, and the good cause we are engaged in,
Judging from the number of new subscribers we,
almost without solicitation, added to our last.
We had something to say of what was going on,
in and about that town, in the way Of amuse-
ments, and improvements; but as we have Just
received a letter from our friend 90 Bo S" of that
place, who touches up local matters SO well, we
give it below instead. We would say to Boss
that the following is good letter, newsy and
to the point, and we would like to hear from him
us kindly, " Boss" says: The weather in this
part of the country still continues very cool with
every prospect of a continuance of the same.
Money is getting more plentiful every day. Our
town is also being improved by the addition OF
some half dozen splendid new buildings, being
put up by the iDveterate old war horse, Colonel
Moody, who always has an eye to business. The
claims are all running up to their full capacity,
day and night Sundays included a sad acci-
dent occurred here last Friday in one of the
claims whereby man by the name of Watson
Chamberlain had his leg broken above the knee,
caused by the ewing of bank. He was at
tended by Doctors Schnabel and Martin, and is
now doing WELL We have been Strawberry Fes-
livaled, and expect to be Local Optoned shortly
One of the principal saloon keepers of this place
sold out, and left town cause: too much water
in the ditches.'

Seeing Is Relieving.

If i'll this liberal age there are persons to be
found who are so blinded by prejudice as not to
believe that a medcated stimulent is an item of
immense importance in the catalogue of human
remedies, we should like them to witness the
wonderful effects which Hostetters Stomach
Bitters now producing all over the country in
Intermittent fever, rheumatism, bilious disorders,
dyspepsia, nervous complaints, constitutional
debility mental depression and premature decay
To be sure these effects are nothing new. The
great vegetable invigorant and Its cures have
been before the people for more than twenty-fi
years. and in every year of the twenty five its
popularity has increased and its sale has become
larger Yet there no doubt many thousands
of intelligent citizens who have never had an OPP
portunity Of observing for themselves the
prsing changes which this unequalled tonic and
Alternative produces in systems which seem to be
hopelessly broken, and in cases of disease which
are not anienable to ordinary remedies. Proba-
bly, many of these regard the statements made in
relation to the sanitary properties of the Bitters
with some degree Of credulity, Would that all
such skeptics could see with their own eyes what
the medicine is doing for the sick and feeble
everywhere, what a staff of life it is proving to
the aged and inirm, what help in time of
trouble to feeble women suffering from the com
plants and disabilities peculiar to the sex, what
a protection to health and life in malarious dis
drcts, what panacea for languor and depres-
sion, what specific for all diseases in which the
system requires to be vitalized and sustained.
OF all stimuants it is The sures and safest of all
tonics the most genial, effective and agreeable,
of all the alternatives the least violent and the
most certain in its beneficial results.

ExTRAoRDINARY opportunity for the diseased
and deformed-owing to the hard times and the
inability of many of the suffering to visit the

diana, three Of the Surgeons Of the Institute
have yielded to urgent solicitations and will
revisit the Pacific coast, where they can be con-
suited at their old rooms, 3l9 Bush street. be-
tween Kearny and Montgomery, San Francisco,

They will have with them all kinds of Surgical
Apparatus and Appliances, and will be fully pre-
pared to treat such cases rs may call upon them
for relief; also to re-examine their old patients
md furnish and direct for their continued treat
ment. They will come especially prepared to
treat all Surgical cases Paralysis, all kinds of
deformities of the Face, Spine and Limbs, Dis
eased Joints, Diseased Eyes, Catarrh, Private
Diseases. Piles Fistula, etc No cases will be
undertaken without a fair hope of relief. Prices
will be moderate. 1t is needless to say that this
Institution isentirely responsible, and the largest
and most popular of the kind in America, curing
thousands of cases annually. All the afflicted
who i'll need of treatment such this Institute
only is prepared to give should not fail to see
the Doctors during their short visit, another
such opportunity may never be afforded them.
Remember the time and place, and come as early
as possible

IEMPLARs' DANCE.-More by accident than
design, we happened to be passing along
by the Skating Rink building, in Dutch
Flat last Saturday evening, when we heard
issuing therefrom, sounds of sweet music and
shrll' calling, strangely mingled with the
rumbhng sound of gay and graceful dancers
AT the suggestion of distinguished citizen,
who accompanied us, we entered and in the
course of the evening, took part in the tripping
gayeties, and owing to the courtesies extended
to u.s. and the ability of the good people of that
town to make strangers among them feel at
home, we, with the rest, spent very enjoyable
evening. We soon learned that the party con-
sisted of the Good Templars of the town. who,
after their regular lodge meeting, had adjourned
to this hall, to spend few hours of social en-
joyment, in the way of an informal dance.
Nearly all the participants young folks,
and the large number was matter of susprise
to us, whon We thought of the size of the town.
The politeness, gallantry aud gentlemanly con-
duct Of the boys, as we may call them, impressed
us most favorably, and the girls, or young ladies,
perhaps We ought to say, seemed models of per-
fection. Among the throng of beautiful girls
present, we noticed moro particularly, Misses
Anna and Lizzi. Walters, Miss Ella Bellows,
Miss Flora Rowland, Misses Blanche and Ada
Hoskins, Miss Eva Kopp, Miss Lille Frost,
Miss Grace Ellis Miss Ada Belmont, Miss
Simmons, Miss Duffy; and among the married
women, Mrs. Mallows Mrs. Coffin, and Mrs.
Kidder. There were others equally gay, hand
some and attractive but we were so unfortunate
as not to learn their names. The dance was
most pleasant one, and we understand they oc-
cur almost weekly, and associated as they are,
with the temperance society, they will do more
in keeping young men from dissipation, than all
the lectures that could be delivered from now
until doomsday,
