COOP MEAsURE.-Ag gentleman from
the rural districts attended market,
last Thursday morning, with load OF
chesnuts, and after expatiating a great
deal concerning the superior quality
of his fruit he induced great many
to purchase. Not having a measure
he was furnished with one supposed to
hold a quart, and soon sold out the
whole load at fifteen cents per quart.
After he had finished selling, he was
somewhat surprised to find that the
borrowed measure held half gallon.
He says now that the next time he has
chesnuts to sell he will bring his own
quart cup. A good idea.

WE are indebted to the publishers
for copy of HESTER HowARD's
TEMPTATION. A Souls STORY" By
Mrs. c. A. War6eld, the we'll known

tain to create profound sensation and
pleasing anxiety among all classes of
novel readers. T. B. Peterson & Bro
theirs have secured this new gem, and
it is certain to prove a welcome and
popular addition to their already large

of prose fctions.. IF anything, this
fresh storyis superior to the famous
Household of Bouverie," and "A

charming and vigorous story; but we
heartily recommend them to procure
copy. Written in forcible and pleas
ing style, the characters are drawn
with firm hand, and stand clearly
forth, living and breathing women and
men, not mere lay figures to weave
plot around and force dialogues upon.

volume, printed on the finest white
paper. and bound in morocco cloth,
gilt back and side, and sold by all book
sellers at the low price of $l.75, or

many courtesies extended to us by the
generous hearted, intelligent people
along the line of travel. We paid a
special visit to our friend G. II. Slaugh-
ter, Esq, at st. Bethlehem. His alb
sence from home debarred US the
pleasure of his company, but the hospi-
table reception given us by his inter-
esting family more than made amends
for his absence. The railroad is in
excellent condition, under the super
vision of that agreeable railroad man
Mr.. James Montgomery. This is one
of the best portions of our adjacent
country, and we shall take occasion to
visit it when convenient.

Democratic majority on the vote for
Treasurer, although the Republicans,
have a decided majority in both
branches of the Legislature. Hart
tranft, Republican, carries Pennsyl-

REV. Mr.. Fits, who has been
called to the pastorate of the EpiscO-
pal Church in this city, was expected
to off ciate here last Sunday, but on his
way to this point one of his little
children died at Franklin, Tenn;
which sad event caused him to return
to Tuscaloosa, Ala, where he was
raised, to bury the remains of his lovely
child. All arrangements had been
perfected to receive the new pastor
and his family by the ladies' of Trinity
parish, but the sudden death of a
beloved child prolonged the time of
meeting between pastor and people.
Coming, as he does, under this sad
dispensation of Providence, will tend
to knit the bonds of friendship and
brotherly love the stronger between
him and his flock.
