come, we must say that tho promise of
brisk matrimonial market is excellent. Good !!

Altoona are visiting friends here. Mr.. S, is
! n former citizen, but has n job in the passen-
ger car shops in Altoona that yields such
| handsome wages that We cannot very well

There are several parties considering the
matter of starting a cigar box factory in this
place. As there arc from $4,000 to 10000
boxes used here in year. with the proba-
hility of the present steady increase contin-
u!ng, we should consider the project one of
excellent promise
Monday and Thursday Of last week were
genuine winter days
The Middlctown Literary Society opened
/ their winter session on the 9th inst. with tie
following remarkable proposition for de-
bate, VIZ: "There is more happiness than
misery in human life"
We do not suppose thnt one in Christcn-
dom would be expected to support the neg
alive of that proposition with other than
specious argument, or to assert it with any
show of conviction. Yet, we confess to
having heard such doctrine preached.
Will. WINTER IN FLORIDA. Mr.. Jos. II.
Johnson having freed himself Of the cares Of
business several months ago, left on Thurs
day last for Jacksonville, Florida, where he
will spend the winter.
Mr.. johnson gave us no intimation Of
the intention of his trip, and we supposed
! that it was made to escape the rigors of our
very tickle winter weather, but since his de-
parturc, it has been intimated to lis by per-
sons who are probably better informed than
we, that there may be judicious admixture
of business with pleasure just enough to
tone up the trip and to take away some Of
the monotony of shifting Gulf breezcs, pluck
ing ripe oranges and gigging alligators.
Joe" would place lis under renewed OBJ
legations to him by sending us pen picture
of that new American IIcsperidcs Do SO
please.
WRONG AGAIN The Chronicle man is
very bad 'guesser." Two weeks ago, refer
ring TO the fact that we would not issue
paper the following week, he vcntured to
charge it up to some mysterious influence
held over us by "intsrnal projections" at
Chimney Rock.
Now, if "distrihuting' twenty-four and
Setting" twcnty-eight columns of matter,
making up" and printing new paper, be-
sides talking over election returns and hay
ing cold big enough to divide amongst the
Children of Israel constitute internal pro-
jections," then We had EN- and the Chronicle
hit it; otherwise, not.
The Banner is also mystifed and thinks
new wife would account for our "lost mum
Der" only that we have one. Now it strikes
us that! Rhodrick, fills, is the author of that
idea; he is just at that interesting period of
life, when every second thought is tinted by
the roseate hue of matrimony. Come broth
