North East Weissport.

At the earnest request Of tiufnber of
friends we have concluded to write letter
occasionally to the ADVOCATE from this space
during the present campaign, in which we
expect to give the general feeling of our
people, SO far as we can learn, throughout
this place and franklin township, besides
the local heHs that may be of interest.
Isaac Q. Ragenstose, Esq, we are sorry
to say, has removed from here to Mahanoy
City. Mr.. B. will long be remembered by
our citizens, and especially. by the members
Of the Sabbath School which meets in the
Chapel here, and of which he was superin-
tendent Tor several years. By his removal
the Democrats lose one of their most ihflu-
entail men in franklin township He was
the man whom the Democrats Of tins town
ship intended 10 bring forward next year for
Register and Recorder He has the best
wishes of his numerous friends for success
in his new field, and to the people of Maha.
noy we take pleasure in recommending him
as gentleman worthy of their esteem,
We learn from a number of papers
Throughout the State that good teachers are
scarce this year, caused by reduced salaries
and shortness of the term. This will have
bal effect upon school progress. The Sla-
tngtoh Ne'o9 says; "a man competent to
teach school cannot afford to labor FIVE
months for $40 per month ard take his
chances for something else for the balance
of the year. ,., Let good salaries be paid
make the term at least six months, and then
the old, tried, and experienced teachers may
be retained in the profession" p, ,..,.
The sentiment of our people is that the
name of J. g. Zern shall be placed again
upon the ticket for the Legislature by the
county convention which meets at Mauch
Chunk to day, Saturday If the party
will do this Franklin may be relied upon to
do her duty on the I'd day Of November
as she has always done it in the past The
Doctor has proven himself good and; faith
tul member, doing his duty without fear or
favor, never STOPPING so low as to accept q
bribe, bat in the midst of vilest temptations
regarded his oath to God and his country.
These are the kind of men we want, aud il
such are nominated we will do our duty to q
man. FRAYKLIS.

An Ago Of Improvenaent

We live in an age of improvements as is
evident to all when we consider the wonder
full discoveries which are coming to light
day by day. One of the latest and most
wonderful is the discovery of Kendall's
spaven Cure, which will cure a spawn,
splint, curb, callous or ring-bone, aed re-
move the enlargement without even blist-
ering or causing sore, and it has recently
been tested for deep-seated pains, rheuma-
tism, and many similar difficulties on man
as well as beast, and it has been found to
work so we'll that it is now believed to be
the very best liniment for external use on
man, that has ever been discovered. It eau
be used full strength at all seasons of the
year with perfect safety. Read the adver-
tisement for Eendall's SPAWN Cure.

In a miserable den in Mulberry street,
opposite Police Headquarters, lived a
squalid old man by the name of Hous-
ton, and vicious tom-cat, the only
friend he would acknowledge. His only
luxury was tobacco. This he burnt free
ly. and it nearly burnt him. An alarm
of fire attracted attention to the strange
household, when the old man was found
nearly suffOcated, and his cat quite so,
by smoke. A spark from his pipe had
fallen on the rags which he used for a
bed. The unhappy wreck of humanity
was once a prosperous merchant in
Bridgeport, CT, where his daughters re-
side in comfortable circumstances. He
lost his wife some time ago, and letting
the misfortune prey too much on him,
lost his business, chiefly by his own
neglect of it, and then almost lost his
reason, certainly all interest in his life.
His relatives were willing and anxious
to provide for and cheer him up, but
without avail. There are some queer
people in this city.
