CiRAR RIDGE ITENs.-0ur high and usually
healthy locality has had a repetition of last
years visitation in the way Of typhoid fever
There have been several cases, and two of
our young men have been called to their long
home, which has thrown a gloom around
their domestic circles.
The matrimonial business has been quite
brisk lately, our worthy neighbor Brother
Stoner being often called upon. He is quite
a fayourite here, as he understands his bust
ness, drives the nail so that it cannot soon
come loose, and above all gratuitousIy, anoth-
er great desideratum these hard times. With
wheat one dollar bushel and corn fifty cents,
il does not do TO spend much money before
hand, as most persons find plenty of use for
their spare cash afterwards.
You should see how Uniontown Is looking
up. Mr.. Hoffman is moving into his new
three story double house, reminding us Of the
EniaE House or Barnum's Hotel. He has a
large family and big heart, and will need
all the room he has. Mr.. Hiteschew and his
handsome bride are busy building their future
home, quite an addition to the west end, be-
side several Others Of smaller note, so that
our carpenters and painters have their hands
full.
The dreadful scourge in the South has
EHCltEd ttc o1ut1tAtco VI uGaAty tAAG
neighborhood, but am sorry to say that with
some few, ''that article being cheap" il ends
there. Who that has heart as large as a
gnat, or that is not entombed in self like an
oyster, can set quietly and composedly by and
refuse q helpinghand in such a dire emer-
eency? Such poor contracted narrow-minded
specimens Of humanity andbrotheFhood have
a soul that only responds to the clink of the
dollars in their purses; If money is not their
God, il is their exissanee. But these cases,
/ am glad 10 say, are the exception, nearly all
are more or less interested in this labour of
love, and have devoted hands, time and hearts
to CLEAN from their negihbors what is abso-
lutely necessary for the poor stricken South
erner's very life. Sewing and musical parties
have been held, where ladies have striven to
excel in their acts Of benevolenee; committees
have been busy visiting the different sections
TO solicit contributions of money, clothes and
provisions which has amounted 10 more than
their expectations. Some of the ladies' have
shown quite spirit of rivalry in their differ
ent circuits, rather finding fault at others
trespassing on what they consider their do
main, of course forgetting for a moment they
are all working for one good end. All hail
TO woman for what she is and what she does
for us.
Farmers are busy cutting their corn which
is nothing more than fair crop, the long dry
spell having injured it. In most cases al are
waiting for rain 10 seed their wheat.

6rmed. During the entire service no sign of
unrest was evinced by the audience, his we'll
known reputation as a scholar and orator
causing them to pay more than marked at
tention. After Mass SO persons were con-
6rmed, S0females and % males Twenty-Five
persons also made their first communion.
In the afternoon the Archbishop assisted at
Benediction, after which he left for Union
Mills, where he was the guest of VIM. Shri-
yer, Esq. On Monday the rite Of con6rma-
ton was administered to q persons in fancy
town. In the afternoon he visited New
Windsor and addressed a large congregation,
after which he returned to this city. On
Tuesday he visited Manchester where 10 were

particularly with the great improvement and
progress made in Westminster since his for
mer visit twelve years ago.
