What we would like to see:
Judge Dixon elected Governor of our
State.
A little less stretching done by our
sportsmeD, in giving the report of their
cunning expeditions.
A little more sociability among the peo-
pie of our village.
Edward II. Holcombe elected County
Clerk.
A continuance of the present delightful
weather.
Some of our residents repair the poor
walks in front of their properties.
A little more temperance principle
among the professed Prohibitionists.
Plenty of sociables and other pleasant
gatherings in our village, this coming
Winter.
Our Justice of the Peace, Levi Hol-
combe, is erecting new barn near his
residence, in the upper part of our village.
Our sportsmen dill fairly well during
their rambles through briar aud bush,
last week, in search of game. The hunt
was not as successful as that made during
the corresponding days of last season.
However, from what is heard around the
store stoves at night, one might suppose
that the game had been entirely killed of.
Several of our farmers have finished
corn husking and are hauling their stalks.
Others are still engaged at it and num-
Der will find plenty of this work for them,
for several weeks yet.
Rev II. J. Kent has rendered his re-
signation as pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, of this village, and has accepted
an unanimous call from the First Pres.
byterian Church, at Matawap, N. J.
An accidental glance of the axe the
other day, gave our harness maker, t. B.
Giles, ESQ.,, an ugly cash in his left leg,
below the knee.
The beautiful crescent moon has made
its appearance again aud now illumes the
sky with its silvery light, during the early
hours of the evening. This visit of the
moon, will, no doubt, revive the winter
sociablcs, and many pleasant gatherings
take place during it's stay.
As the winter months approach, the
daughters aud sons of the farmers, begin
TO think about spending few months in
school. Our village affords excellent OPP
portunities for these persons, as here we
have two first class, private Institutions
of learning. The Seminary conducted by
the Misses Kieffer, of Lewisburg, gives
excellent opportunities for acquiring a
useful, practical education. The extra
studies, such as music, &C., ale provided
for here. The Academy of Science and
Art, with a corp of teachers, under the
Principaship of DR.. G. w. Larson, is a
thorough, practical institution and moth
ing is hereby neglected TO give to every
scholar an education in the useful arts
and sciences. At the Seminary, good
board can be obtained by students from a
distance. Those DESTROYS of sending their
children to first class institution, will
find it to their advantage, to consult the
curriculum of these schools.
We learn that a stranger experienced
III TIC arr VI COnuuCtiuR Cicahciy, Nioie-
ed our village one day last week, and con-
suited one of our citizens, regarding the
propriety of establishing creamery in
our village and the prospects for making
the same success We understand he
stated that he could guarantee the farm
ers two cents per quart for their milk
during the summer aud three cents per
quart during the winter season. This
seems to be a fair price and if creamery
could be established here, no doubt our
farmers would find 1t profitable bust
ness, to sell milk at the above mentioned
| figures. If this matter could be laid be-
fore the farmers of this section, in pro-
per manner, we believe they would be in
favor of creamery here and lend 1t their
attention and patronage. We hope this
stranger mentioned, will advance this
natter and that our town may have a
creamery. This section is certainly fine
one for the location Of such a business.

Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, is quite
