From the above table 1t will be seen
that every article is lower at the pres
ent time than in 1860 with the excep-
ton of the Rochdale blanket; which
was then only about 80 per cent wool,
where it Is now entirely wool.
The above table proves conclusively
that the price of wooden goods is much
lower at the present time than In 1850;
and the following table showing the

YOUNG MAN, Go SOUTH. Like
myself, most of your readers will be
surprised to learn that our beautiful
valley 200 miles southwest of us is
even more attractive than here, out
such is the fact. Following the Le-
high and Lebanon Valley to Harris
burg, we, on crossing the Susquehanna
River, follow the Cumberland Valley,
cross the Potomac river about two
miles beyond HagerstoWn, enter the
Shenandoah Valley, and stopped at
the first large town, Martinsburg, in
West Virginia. 1t contains about
$500 inhabitants, some fine private
buildings, many large churches and
several large and substantial school
houses; some fine stores and hotels of
which we selected "The Grand Cen
trial." kept well by Messrs. Aurandt
d Son, formerly of WilliamspOrt, Pa.
The streets are graded and piked, Civ
ing good drainage to the town, built
on two hills. The Baltimore & Ohio
or the Cumberland Valley r. r., bring
you to Washington so miles, to Bal
.timore xin100, Harpers Ferry in 10,
Hagerstown in Is, Sharpsburg 10, and
Antietam in 10 miles. The country is
rolling ground with limestone soil.
Limestone of the best quality and iron
ore in abundance, with slate near the
Blue Mountain. 1t is well adapted
for iron works or for farming, especi-
ally dairy, as it is well supplied with
water. The Potomac, Tuscarora, Back
Creek and several other streams Civ
ing plenty water for manufacturing
purposes or watering stock. The
Winchester and Hagerstown pixies are
centering in the town and are well
kept up. Land can be bought from
$1,000 to So. 90 per acre, which in the
handsof Pennsylvania farmers would
yield as much in four years as our
land selling at 100000 per acre, with
better markets for produce than our
own. Town property can also be
bought very low, and numberof lots
along the water for manufacturing
purposes. Already merchant flour
mill, machine shop, foundry, spoke
factory, boiler works, planning mill,
furniture factory, large distillery,
water and gasworks employ about 500
hands. The county has 824 square
miles and contains about 16, 900 inhabi-
tants. The climate is mild and healthy
and know of no section which offers
equal inducements to the farmers or
manufacturers to locate. Eastern en-
terprise and capital cannot fail to pay
largely and quickly, therefore go South
not West.-C. G. HIRNER, in Allen
town, Pa, Item.

A Boys MIsHAp.-A little son,
about 10 years of age, of John Sandy,
living near the pump factory, met
with serious accident last Saturday
in which he narrowly escaped with
his life. The little fellow had gone
under the floor of the factory to cut
wood. After chopping awhile he
stopped to rest. The machinery of
the factory was running, and near
him was rapidly revolving shaft.
The boy unluckily stepped backward
and against the shaft. His coat was
caught and in an instant he was being
whirled around with the shaft at fifty
or sixty revolutions per minute. The
noise Of the striking of the boys feet
against the floor attracted the atten-
ton of the workmen, who taking in
the situation stopped the machinery
as quickly as possible, and rescued the
boy from position that would soon
have proved fatal to him. His feet
were badly bruised, while he was al
most strangled by his clothing which
was drawn tightly around his neck

The dwelling occupied by Mr.. VIM.
B. Smith, on the Mcfarland farm,
about one mile northwest of Halltown,
was destroyed by fire on Wednesday
morning last, together with almost
the entire household effects and
other articles of Mr.. Smith and family,
amounting in value to twelve or fif-
teen hundred dollars. The value of
the house, which belonged to Mrs.
DR.. Fuller and daughter of Winches-
ter, we have not learned. The fire
is supposed to have originated from
some defect in the chimney. No in
surance. This loss falls most heavily
upon worthy citizen and his family,
the female portion being not left even
bonnet upon their heads, and being
suddenly turned out of house and
home upon one of the severest morn
ings of this winter, a heavy snow-storm
prevailing at the time.-Spirit Of JET

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.-One of
the most terrible accidents we have
been obliged to record for some time
took place on the road leading from
Fairmont to Fairview on Tuesday of
last week. A fOur-horse team be-
longing to Tenant & Co., of Fairview,
was hauling a load of flour from the
latter place to some of our merchants,
and when near Prickett's school house,
just beyond Barrackville, horses,
wagon and all tumbled over the steep
bank, demolishing the wagon and
contents and killing one horse and
badly crippling another. At the time
of the accident the driver, Mr.. w. A.
Hanes, was walking behind the wagon
to Keep warm, and did not notice that
his team was SO near the road side
until wagon, horses and the twelve
barrels of flour went rolling down the
PERCEPTIONS bank together.-Faisnoat

Thursday was Candlemas Day, some

rCandlemas, in its ecclesiastical
meaning, is the feast of the purifica-
lion of the Virgin Mary, and is OBJ
served on this day. This festival is
very strictly kept by the Roman Catho-
Tic Church, there being procession
with many lighted candles, and those
required for the service of the en-

blessed hence the name Of Candle
mas Day.
A popular Scottish rhyme reads:
III CandlemaS Day be dry and fair,
the half of the winters to come and
mar; II Condemns Day be wet and

In Germany there are two proverbs of
me people. "The shepherd would
rather see the wolf enter his stable on
Eandlemas Day than the sum-" and
the badger peeps out of his hole on
oahdienas Day, and when he finds
snow, walks abroad, but if he sees the
sun shining, he draws back into his
nole." AS the sun shone bright
enough on Thursday, we can expect
