ADVANCE IN PRICES.

Circular letters from dealers in paper
and printing material advise us that pri-
ces are advancing, and quoted rates are
liable to change any day. Merchants
inform us that every line of goods is
rising in price, and that their advices
from manufacturers and wholesale deal
ers are that the markets are advancing,
and the best they can do is to protect
their customers as far as possible. AS
our lady readers well know, the staple
articles of cottons and prints have got
away from the hard pan prices of some
years past, and hOusckeepers are finding
out every day that this and that necessa-
ry OF luxury has ''riz."
This sudden rise in nearly all prices
is historical repetition of the financial
effect of "resuming specie payment"
Prices of nearly all articles are necessa-
rily depressed while the effort to resume
specie payment is going on, and after
resumption is accomplished, and "confi-
dence restored" the downward tendency
of prices stop, and the upward tendency
begins, and goes on until the expansion
of prices creates an amount of enter
prise and borrowing that in time causes
fever of speculation, and an over issue OF
bank notes. "All goes merry as mar.
riage bell" tor IA while, till the inevitable
collapsed demand for specie-aston-
ishes the people and sends half of them
into bankruptcy again.
That our present currency system will
stand better than any previous one we
have had, is generally conceded, and that
it may be quite number of years before
a suspension of specie payment and the
usual financial panic occur again, is
very probable. Meantime, we caution
our readers to not forget the severe lesson
of the past five or six years, and to not
buy more than they can pay for. Those
who ''pay as they go" are always in the
best shape To stand both prosperous and
adverse times in safety.

Old winter, with his white mantle
of snow, and the long nights come up
on us, 1t seems almost impossible for
us to pass the time without an occa-
siOnal evening entertainment. We are
a people that welcome to our quiet
town any pastime that me think may
be interesting and instructive to our
citizens, but while we wish to open
the doors of our halls to such only, we
are sometimes apt to be beaten by
something poor and worthless. Of the
latter class was lecture on Phrenol-
Ogy delivered in the Grange Hall, on
Friday evening last. It was previous
ly announced at a meeting of the
lated over town that a lecture would
be given on the above subject. The
evening came, the hall was comfOrta-
bly, filled, and now same the time for
trking a dose such as we have not had
the opportunity of taking for many q
year. The great o. lecturer began his
address by saying that he came with
the intention of delivering an address
to the Grangers, on the "past, present
and future of the Grange" but as
there were but few Changers present
he would deliver a lecture on Phre-
nology. So he did, and oh, what a
lecture. Any school boy in debating
club ought to do as well. 1t was big 1
and little you, every time. If there is
anything in phrenology, we will bet
our bottom dollar that the bump on
his head indicating self-esteem stands
out very prominent. The lecturer ap-
peared anxious to organize class in
this "science of sciences" the coming
winter, but it is the opinion of your
that the people of Ed
inburgh have received enough soft
soap from this gentleman.

Parker City in Ashes.

PARKER, PA, Oct. 3O.-A fire broke

ings on both sides of Railroad and
Front streets for three blocks were
entirely destroyed. Most of the bust.
ness houses were partly covered by
Insurance. The estimated loss is over
100000; insurance about 100000.
The cause of the fire was incepdiary.

The Elections.

Eleven States held elections on
Tuesday, five of them, New York,
Massachusetts,. Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and Maryland, electing Governors,
State officers and Legislatures. Con-
necticut, Mississippi, New Jersey, and
Virginia electing Legislatures Penn.
sylvania electing State Treasurer,
and Nebraska Judge of the Supreme
Court and University Regent.
The great interest throughout the
country centered in the contest in
New York where the Democracy were
making the fight against the Republi-
cans with division in their own
ranks caused by the detection of the
Tammanyites, which seemed to rem
der defeat inevitable. Atthe time OF
going to press the returns are meager,
but indicate that the Tammanyites
have succeeded in defeating Robine on,
Democrat and electing Cornell, Re-
publican, by a small plurality. The
balance of the ticket is in doubt, but
probably Democratic. The Legisla.
ture is Republican.

defeated by 5000 plurality. Legisla-
ture Republican.

Correspondence,


Yesterday was excursion-day on the
Atlantic & Great Western Railway
from Youngstown to Cleveland, to the
Moody and Sankey revival. At an
early hour large numbers began to
gather at the depot to be ready for the
train, and when it arrived there had
been sold at this station alone three
hundred and ninety tickets. The train
was filled before it reached this station,
yet the large number here got aboard
the train, and by means of occupying
all vacant spaces in the cars, were ena-
bled to secure a tiresome journey to
the city. Whether these people went
because they felt a peculiar religious
zeal, the writer is unable to say, for the
reason that none of them informed him.
We presume that the time is fast ap-
preaching when Moody's sermons will
be published in book form by some in
dustrious person, and the ever present
book agent will tell us how Moody's
inspiring spirit and zeal reached out
far beyond the limits of the city of
Cleveland, drawing thousands of hun
cry sinners to listen. Yet if they will
consider for moment, and remember
the mass of packages of material bro't
from the stores in the city by the re-
turning thousands, and hear them talk
of the appearance of Moody and San
key, what kind of clothes they wore,
how corpulent Mr.. Moody had become,
and how they would have been pleased
to have caught sight of Mr.. Sankey's
new wife, and heard the book agent
figure up his net profits at the end of
his days or weeks work, then they
who have observed these things will
feel that the store, curiosity shops, and
cheap railroad fares, inspired this Sec
tion of the world more than Mr..
Moody's sermons.
Eben Clark, the dentist here, has
been sick for long time with fever.
He is now very low, with poor pros
poets of recovery.
DIR. L. II. Landfear, formerly Super
of the Dayton Lunatic Asy-
lum, has been very ill for long time
from injuries received from patient
while in the Institution. He is now
very low, with no prospect of recovery.
Last Tuesday morning while Mr.. S.
Fl. Stevens was picking apples from a
tree, he slipped and fell about fifteen
feet, striking on his head and neck,
causing severe injury to the muscles
If the neck. He will undoubtedly be
to his house for some time by
he severe injury received.

Death of Senator Chandler.

A Chicago dispatch of the 1st inst.
says: "Senator Zachariah Chandler
of Michigan, was found dead in his
bed at the Grand Pacific Hotel this
morning. He had been speaking in
Wisconsin, and last night addressed
an immense audience at Mccormick g
Hall, in this city, and spoke with his
usual earnestness. After the meeting,
when he and Senator logan ana Hon.
Jesse Spaulding were sitting in his
room engaged in conversation, Sena-
tor Chandler complained of indiges-
ton. AS he had complained of the
same distressing feeling while en- route
to the city with these gentlemen Mr..
Spaulding suggested that he remain
over in the city until Saturday night
but he said business affairs required his
attention at home, and the order was
given to have him called in the morn
ing at seven o'clock. His friends then
babe him good night and left. That
is the last time the Senator was seen
alive. This morning when the office
boy called him there was no response.
AS, upon a repetition, silence prevail
ed, the clerk effected an entrance
through the transom and found that
the Senator was dead. The body was
quite cold, and the physician who was
present decided that death occurred
about three hours previous to the dis
cOvery. The face looked tranquil,
showing that death was painless.

The patrons of the Edinburgh cheese
factory have disposed of the entire lot
of cheese made this season. The cheese
made in the early part of the season
was sold at very low rates; but that
made since the 1st of Sept. sold quite
reasonably, bringing 10 cts. and 1Oac
per lb. Owing to the low prices in
cheese up to September, we hear of
many farmers who are either selling
or have sold their cows, and now want
to raise sheep. But let us not despair
in this branch of our industry; anoth-
er year we can expect better prices for
our produce, if what we have been told
is true. A. b. c.

CHINA WEDDING.-On Monday eve,
October 27, friends and relatives to the
number of fifty, took possession of the
residence of Virgil Goddard and lady,
and were having an enjoyable time
when the surprised bride and groom
returned from their visit, (Which, of
course, had been previously arranged
by their friends.) They at once ac-
cepted the situation, admitting that
possession was nine points. in law.
The friends reminded them that this
was the twentieth anniversary of their
marriage, and that, according to pre-
vailing custom, the marriage ceremony
must be again performed. G. w. Bar
clay, Esq, again performed the cere-
mony, accompanied with few appro-
pirate remarks, and proceeded to pre-
sent them with the presents appropri-
ate for the OCCASION. Supper was then
announced, of which all partook with
relish, after which an hour was spent
in social chat, when all returned to
their homes feeling that it had been
good to be there. -sra
ITEMs.-We trust the parties who
were careful to secure a BACK LOAD on
their return from the china wedding,
have concluded that THEY, at least, are
no poorer, and have eaten those rem
nants with supreme satisfaction.
Hallow-eve was observed as usual in
this neighbornooi, by the ordinary
amount of deviltry, such as turning
wagons upside down, throwing down
fences, &c. HUGO.

The Republicans ruled the Southern
States with the bayonet, tyrranized
over them, robbed them through their
carpet-bag role, and propose to con-
tinue the same corrupt and oppressive
policy towards them, and still profess
to be amazed that there should be a
"solid South" that protest against such
despotic rule.
