residences of Mir. J. F. Munday and Jno. A. Erwin in the eastern part of town.
 MT. T. P. Reed, of Norristown, reports to us that he has a Poland Berkshire pig five weeks old which weighs 36 pounds. Pretty good pig, that!
 Our old friend Davis, although revelling among old friends and reviewing the scenes of many of his former days, does not forget the DEMOCRAT. Elsewhere see his interesting communication.
 A premium of a handsome pocket knife was offered to the one who should make the most scores in game of base ball Mon day evening. Mir. A. K. Rankin carried away the prize.
 -Drummers are getting thick. Our merchants who wish to deal with first class houses should con suit the advertising columns of the DEMOCRAT; not that there are no other good houses whose cards do not appear in our paper, but we should patronize those who pat ronize us.
 Short communication from any neighborhood or post office in this or adjoining counties will always find a place in our columns. We want our paper to be all the benefit possible to the people, and are always ready to make public any items of news, and to give publicity to any advantages en- joyed by the different sections.
 TIE LEvEE TO THE FRoNT.- Mir. Jno. P. Langford of Liberty township, sends us from his farm near the Levee, a specimen of German millet which is an honor and recommendation to any farm in any country. The grass is full ' feet hih aud IS very ind stands thick on the ground.
 We are placed under renewed obligations to our excellent depu- ty clerk, Mir. Frank Bayliss, for the following list of marriage certificates issued last week: Marion McMillen to Matilda F. Vandyne. Louis Jordan to Mary A. Satterfeld. Jno Sheffield to Mary Partain. Ambrose H. Weathers to Nancy $. Quinn. Marion Y. Rozelle to Martha J. Pinkerton.
 -Parlor Organs! We call at tention to the advertisement of Mir. D. F. Beatty, of Washington, Warren county, N. J., proprietor of the celebrated Golden Tongue Organs, in another part of this pa per. These organs are fast super seding all others on account of their good quality. These instru- ments are highly recommended by the best musicians in the country. One of our Bolesville sub- scribers complains of not receiv ing his paper for three weeks. We use every care to see that not a single name is skipped on our subscription books and the fault lies in the post oflice-but as the mail for Bolesville goes to Little Rock and back before it reaches that office we are at loss to know what office is at fault. We will do our part to have the DEMOCRAT reach every subscriber regularly.
 We offer $500 in gold to the party who shall send in the great est number of subscribers from Aug. 1st to Jan. 1st 1876, the winner to have not less than 25 names. We are offering our paper very low-$l.50 per year-and with a small amount of exertion several large lists of names can be made mp during this time. We offer to take one bushel and q half of good wheat delivered at the mill here for one years sub scription.
 Major G. c. Newman of the Boston Mountain Mining and Smelling company was in town Saturday and informed us that they were now ready to push op- erations in their lead mines with a vim. The past two months has been spent in enlarging the shaft.
