be preferred, both on account of its supe-

Herring have become more plentiful the
past week, some of the fisheries catching
more than there are wagons to haul away.
The old saying does sometimes come true,
that bad beginning makes good ending.
Mr.. James Mearns, formerly Of this dis
trict but of late years a resident of Oxford,
Pa, died at his home, at the latter place.
on the 18th inst, at the ripe old age of II
years. His remains were brought to Rose
Bank Cemetery, at this place, for inter-
ment. From some cause, this Spring seems
to set hard with the older class Of people,
there being ut this time three others, within
short distance of this place, who may
have paid the debt we all owe, ere this is
published. Mr.. Phillip Wilson, of whom
mention was made in former letter, is
now lying in an unconscious condition.
There is no hope of his recovery. Stephen
Gilbert, Justice Of the Peace at Lombard
Vile, and Alexander Holton, are both past
recovery. These men have all nearly
reached the time allotted to man, in conse-
quence of which, and the Affections that
are upon them, they must yield.

A BLIND MERCHANT.-Jacoo Remcck,
a blind musician and cigar peddler, came
to town, last Tuesday morning, about two
o'clock. Jacob vas born blind, and says
he has two sisters who like him, were also
born blind. He has been peddling for a
number of years, and travels through
Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the adjoining
States. He has a small wagon, that re-
minds one of dog house on wheels, in
which he carries his stock in trade, consist
ing of cigars, tobacco aud lead pencils, and
carries long staff or cane to feel for gullies
and bitches. Poor Jacob said his accor-
deon was played out, and he was trying to
raise funds to purchase another one; conse-
quently we did not have the pleasure of
hearing him play. Jacob was here in the
Fall of IA, and has had a hard time since,
having spent last Winter in the aims house
in Camden county, n. ]. He says he is
forty one years old, and believes that Prov
idence will take care of him, and, we
believe, in religion inclnes to be believer
in predestination.

REMOVAL BY DEATH.


Our community were called upon lately
to suffer severe loss by the removal by
death of Mrs. Sophia Christie. In her the
poor and suffering ever found a helpful and
sympathetic friend. 1t was her delight to
render secret aid to any one who needed
and deserved it. a devoted mother, an
earnest Christian, and faithful friend has
left our midst. but she has left US for q hap
pier world. Never was it the privilege of
the writer to converse with one who spoke
more calmly of meeting death, or expressed
a stronger confidence in the protecting arm
of divine strength, on which alone she
leaned as she felt the approach of that
dread hour, which was to separate her from
her loved household band.
THE SCARLET FEVER.
The scarlet fever has swept over our lit
tic village with terrible malignity during
the past month, and the shadow of the
Death Angels wings has darkened many
a home in our midst. The public school is
closed until next September in consequence
of the fever.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The rolling mills are running. Three
stores and one milliner shop are flourish
ing. The doctors are the most cheerful
looking citizens to be met with Just now.
