The manufacture of lamp black is one

done A year ago the product was worth
forty cents pound but now it is worth
but seven.

An exchange says, "when man but
tons his suspenders on four penny nails
| it is certain indication that he has been
disappointed in love. It may indicate
more-that he has devoted missionary
for a wife.
When girl has finally made up her

Alexander Stewart, Esq. left basket
of apples at our Office Wednesday, which
are the finest and soundest we have seen
this year. One Fallowater measures IA
inches and is perfectly sound, and the
Kings and Baldwins are beauties. Esq.

Whitestown, and he has one of the best
orchards in the county. He sold 200 bush
els of hand-picked apples this year, besides
many cider apples.
People who had occasion to perambu
late Main st. during the rains last Satur
day and Sunday nights tramped into several
pools of water more than shoe-top deep, and
could have found several hundred of such
places, if they had looked for them. But
Ter has neither sewerage nor paved streets,
but her greatest disgrace at present, and
the one that most reflects upon the borough
authorities is her miserable sidewalks.
The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette is
one of the best daily papers published in
the country, as you can easily prove to
your satisfaction by comparing it with the
dailies of Philadelphia, New York or any,
other city. 1t gives all the general news
of interest, its market reports are unequal
led, and its "Quiet Observer" column is
peculiar to itself The people of Butler
are proud of the Gazette, and Of the sue
cess of its proprietors, the Reed brothers.
The sensible custom, which prevails so
extensively in the eastern part of this
State, of advertising public sales in the
columns of the newspapers in the same vi
cinity. is each year becoming more COM
mon in this county, but is not yet as gen
eral as it should be. In no other way can
farmers and Others having sales give such
wide publicity of the fact for the same ex-
penditure of money as through the col
umns of the local papers 1t does not
cost much and is we'll worth the trial.
This, Thursday, evening is All-Hal-
loween, the eve of All-Saints day, which
is consecrated to the memory Of martyrs
and champions of the truth, but the boys
generally improve the recurrence of the
evening by trying to make martyrs of
everybody though the mischief done to-
day is nothing compared with that done
twenty-five years ago The intelligent (f)
girl, also, will, this evening, step down
the dark cellar stair backward with her
hand glass, looking for the features of her
future husband to be reflected in mystic
gleam Of light. 1t is n harmless amuse-
ment, and when the stars beam down on
II clear and frosty Halloween, it is pleas
ant to court the fanciful customs that ex-
listed when garrets were haunted with hob
| goblins, and elves, the groves with were
wolves, and when ghosts, spectres and
vampires followed the triple Hecate's
| flight
