ICE HOUSES.
The recent cold snap has caused quite an
excitement among owners OF ice houses,
and all hands are busy filling them. The
ice is very good.
THE ROADS

considering how little the purchasers have
done on them; but hard travel will now
soon smooth them down.

ARTICLES LOST AT THE CENTENNIAL
Some of the visitors from this county to the
late Centennial Exhibition lost money and
various articles of more or less value, which
of course they suppose We're stolen. A
Philadelphia letter gives the following ac

from this pile:
Every thing lost on the grounds, when
picked up by an honest mayn, has been

clutched, and the pockets examined and

tickets, memorandums, note books, diaries,

1CE.-The visions Of a large crop of ice,
which doomed up to the minds of those
who have houses, were suddenly dispelled
on Thursday, when the wind veered to the
south and the temperature went up to the
sixties. However, Mr.. JOS. II. McNeal
housed a considerable amount of very fine
five inch ice from Westamwell dam, on
Thursday and Friday. Several other par
ties also succeed in laying in a small
quantity.

PAINFUL ACCIDENTS Saturday after
noon last, John. the little four-year old son
of Albert Constable, Esq. of this town,
met with an accident which, had it not
been for timely assistance, would doubtless
have proved, not only painful, but fatal.
He had gone into an upper room, col
lected lot of important papers and placed
them in stove lighting two candles, with
which, it is supposed, he intended to fire
the papers. BY some means, however, the
sleeve on his left arm took file, and, with
his arm developed in flames. he was dis
covered by Mrs. Constable at the head of
the stairs, in the act Of descending she hay
ing been attracted by his crying, and with
flannel garment she speedily subdued the
flames. Medical aid was summoned, and
the little sufferer is now recovering.
Harry, son of Mr.. VIM. T. Giles, of this
town, met with a severe accident, on Sun
day last. Mrs. Giles was passing from one
was hot grease, and just as she opened the
door, Harry-not knowing his mother was
at the door also -attcmpted to pass in,
when he ran his face against the pan,
throwing the grease in one of his eyes and
on one cheek The burn was severe; but
it is hoped will not iniure his sight.
On Tuesday of last week, ii painful
accident happened to Mr.. Philip Arbuckle,
son of Daniel Arbuckle, Esq who resides
near Cherry Hill, the result of which was
the loss of one eye, and the probable loss
of the other. He was engaged at work iii
the harness shop of Mr.. Grant, at Cherry
Hill, and while using an awl it by some
means slipped and entered his eye.

THE COUNTRY Passive frequently
hear persons arguing that the city papers
are cheaper than the country papers, be-
cause they give more columns of reading
matter for the money. Do the city papers
ever give you any home news? None.
Do they contain notices of your Schools

other local matters of interest, which your
local papers publish? Not an item. Do
they ever say word calculated 10 draw
attention to your county, and aid it in its
progress and enterprise? Not word
And yet there are men who take such con
tracted views of the matter that unless
they are getting as many square inches of
reading matter in their paper they do in
the city paper, they think they are not get.

FIRST SUNDAY IN ADEENT.-With last
Sabbath commenced again the annual re-
uewal of the holy season that makes up what
is known as the "Christian Year Sunday
was distinguished in the Church Calendar
as the First Sunday in Advent" season
which, from very remote times, had been
observed in the Christian Church as pre-
paratory to the great Festival of Christ
mas. The "Advent Season embraces the
few Sundays which Immediately precede
Christmas, and are devoted to the special
presentation and elucidation of these grand
themes: The second coming of Christ and
the final Judgment: the Divine inspiration
of the Holy Scriptures, and the duty of
studying them and conforming TO their
teachings; next the Gospel Ministry, as
sent to prepare and make ready for the
second coming of Christ, and lastly. the
great duty of repentance and amendment
of life as the only fit preparation for the
reception of Christ, the Saviour. ''Advent,"
as the theme would imply, is always a
season of peculiar solemnty in the Episco-
pal Church.

LOUISIANA REPUBLICAN.

There is no doubt in my mind that the
State of Louisiana has elected by a large
majority Republican Presidential Electors,
whatever the State ticket may be. Gen
eral conversation and the views of the
people as expressed to me and to others at
the time of my arrival at New Orleans,
and, indeed, up to the time | left, indica
very strongly that the chief interest felt
was centred in the State officers, and they
care comparatively little about who is the
President, and as far as ! can understand
it seems to be true of the South generally.
certainly in all of the doubtful States. Up
to the time of the discovery in Louisiana
of the omission of certain Republican Elec-
tors from the ticket 1t was pretty generally
conceded that Hayes had carried the
State. There is, | believe, enough of
difference between the number of voters
received by the last man on the Republican
electoral ticket and Packard to give the
State to Hayes and defeat Packard In
deed, the Democrats in the State would
willingly concede the State for Hayes if
the Republicans would admit the election
of Nichols and the Democratic State ticket,
if that were possible to be done. Indeed,
some of them SO expressed themselves.
The politicians of New Orleans know all
about politics that is worth knowing.
They are the shrewdest and cleyerest poll
toans in the country. Those aftidavits
that were slipped into the bundle by
somebody "a full account of which has
been already published were, it appears
to me, put in for the purpose of creating
discussion and disagreement, for the very
reason that these men are so shrewd who
so presumably did it. They overlooked,
