EDITOR PREss:-I went up to-day to
take a view of the new school house,
and 1 must say that I was agreeably
surprised to find SO large and magnii-
cent structure, completed in SO short
time-as if by magic. A structure for
tuition, as that is, will bring credit upon
Somerset. A hall 13 feet wide, with
two large class-rooms on each side, high
ceilings, plenty of light, and good ven-
tilation; two large class rooms upstairs,
and beautiful and commodious exhibi.
tion room with fine large stage. This
last named room must say outstrips
our Town Hall in its size and beauty OF
finish. / think it will accommodate
1000 persons. Each classroom below
and above has fine large room called q
wardrobe for the scholars hats, bonnets
and cloaks. Indeed, cannot give "a
proper description of the building. Per
sons can have better idea by going and
seeing for themselves.
Twas one-of those who, in the frs
place opposed the undertaking Of I
school house on so large a scale-for tn,
reason of its impracticability, as
thought, and heavy taxation. But
confess that my mind has undergone
change.

Indian Summer.

This halcyon period Of our autumn
will always in some way be associated
with the Indian 1t is red and yellow
and dusky like him. The smoke of his
campfire seems again in the air. The
memory of him pervades the woods.
His plumes and moccasins and blanket
ofskins form just the costume the season
demands. 1t was doubtless his chosen
period. The gods smiled upon him
then If ever The time of the chase,
the season of the buck and the doe, and
of the ripening of all forest fruits; the
time when all men are incipient hunters
when the first frosts have given pungen-
cy to the air, when to be abroad on the
hills or in the woods is delight that
both old and young feel,-if the red
aborigine ever had his summer Of full
ness and contentiment, it must have
been at this season, and it ftly bears his
name John Burroughs; Scribner for
October.

are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill a day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Vlg-
orous health.
AYERS Pills have been known Tor
more than a quarter of q century, and
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimiia-
tive organs of the body, and are 50
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely Withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints OF every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. BY their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the bleod,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
nom their use in any quantity.

Schwartz, the accomplished photo
grapher of this place, has recently "ta-
ken" large lot of very fine pictures, of
all sizes, for numerous citizens of New
Lexington. The pictures for these peo-
pie number nearly a Thousand, an ex-
tent of orders showing that Mr..
Schwartz's skill as an artist, is appreci-
ated amongst persons familiar with his
work-and an inspection of many Of
these pictures convinces us that he is
we'll up in all the essentials of his pro.
fession. His pictures have clearness
and distructness of finish rarely attain
ed by country artists and not frequently
surpassed by his more pretentious breth'
rem of the cities, and will pass muster
any where as frst-class. His success ir
the matter Of picture making is due tc
the employment of the best materials
the markets affords and an aptness for
and long successful experience in, thu
various branches of the art.

WHO CAN BEAT IT?-On Saturday
last, Mr.. George Caywood brought into
our Office basket of apples-the pro-
duct Of young orchard on his farm
near this place,-that rather "knock the
socks of" anything in the apple line, it
has heretofore been our fortune to be-
hold. They were of the varieties known
as the Monday glory and Northern Spy,
and were all of unusual size, and two
of the first mentioned were regular
"whoppers"-weighing a.pound and a
half each and measuring each IA inches
in circumference, both ways. The
Northern Spy specimens were not quite
so large, but they were very fine never
ertheless. Their measurement was from
III to 13 inches, and their average weight
of pound. Now if there are any
fruit growers in the county who can beat
Mr.. Caywood's exhibition let them come
forward with a similar display so tina
the fact may be made public.

ID. NJ. Fulton

Takes pleasure in informing the citi-
zens of Somerset and vicinity, that he
has fitted up a nice new suite of Photo
graph Rooms in DR.. Magruder's new
building-over B. WhItmer's store
where he has all the necessary facilities
for making those beautiful new style
photographs SO much admired by all
who see them. His instruments and all
his apparatus are the very best made,
and in connection with his mammoth
side and sky light he is enabled to make
pictures just as good on cloudy days as
when the sun shines--(children except
ed
He has also the facilities for
copying and enlarging pictures. He
can take any old picture and enlarge it
to any desired size, and make a beauti-
full picture to hang on the wall, which
would be an ornament to the room and
keepsake invaluable.
Also, a nice assortment of frames,
cases, albums, &c. Ifyou have pictures
to copy or to frame, bring them along.
Fulton's long experience enables him to
do such work better and on more reason
able terms than the most of galleries.
Call and see specimens and prices. For
the purpose of circulating his work
speedily through the country, he will
for the first month, make photographs al
greatly reduced prices. 16-tf

A rather absurd mistake occurred in
Hamilton's advertisement last week
The type made that enterprising mer-
chant assign as reason why people
should at once buy their dry goods for
fall and winter use, tha they the goods
were declining in price every day!-
OF course o. NJ. never perpetrated such
"bull" as that. But on the other hand
he had clearly set forth the fact, in
Hancockian chirography, that they were
advancing in price every day, and point
ed to that as a convincing reason why
the liberal inducements held out at his
establishment should be at once embrac
ed by all persons in this bailiwick
Notwithstanding the fact that dry goods
of all descriptions are on the p-grade
Hamilton is still adhering to the low
prices of few months since, and i
would be well for all persons to max,
a note of a matter of SO much impor
tance to the general public"

The Fair at this place this Fall was
not what might be called crowning
success in all espects-though it "pan-
ned out" much better than many sup
posed it would on Thursday morning,
when the indications were that wet
weather was at hand. The gloomy
prospects of the opening day had the
effect to deter exhibitors from coming
out with their stock and articles intend
ed for the show, and as a result, when
the weather changed for the better, the
liberal attendance of visitors found
nothing of a startling or unusually at
tractive nature upon which to feast
their eyes. Still, the crowds seemed to
enjoy themselves, and manifested much
more interest in what there was Of the
Fair, than the meagre exhibition would
seem to warrant. We have not learned
how much the receipts were.
