During the past week Messrs. Z. IL.
Brown and Jos. Fisher, both cnlerpr!s-
Ing young men Of our town, received
from philadelphia, a Columbia bicycle.
We have not had the pleasure of seeing
Claud on the new steed; but Joe, whom
we have seen mounted on the 'critter,'
wears a smile at least six inches broader
than ever, and feels as happy as
married man with a new baby.
Que night, during the past week,
some person or persons, who had
neither the tear of God or man before
their eyes, entered the smOke-h0use OF

three hams and one side OF upper sole

miles above town, have each lost yalu
able cattle. Mr.. Stickley valuing his, a
young heifer, at $500; we did no.
learn the value of the other one.

the hog disease which is prevailing to
great extent 10 the surrounding COM
munity, aud it behooves our farmers
and stock raisers 10 look well to their
cattle and hogs, as an ounce OF pre'
venuon is always better than a pound
OF cure.
