Received $4,000.

Stee!ton (Pa.) Advocate, Sept. q.
Christopher Gould, the assistant dispatch
er of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad,
who resides at COS North street, Harrisburg,
last Wednesday received $4,000 from the
Louisiana State Lottery at New Orleans.
He held onestwentieth of ticket No 8, ia,
which drew the first capital prize of $780,
600 in the drawing of the 10th inst. On
Monday of last week, Mr.. Gould delivered
his ticket to Albert Leeds, OF Steelton, agent
of the United States Express Company, who
forwarded said ticket. On Wednesday
Leeds received the full amount of the draw
ing, in ready cash money, namely, $4,000.
He at once sent for Mr.. Gould, to whom it
was delivered, that same day.
We are happy to say that this sudden
wealth has not fallen into the hands OF q
Coal Oil Johnny man, who squanders it in
reckless manner. But on the other hand
it has come into the hands Of n discretionate
and worthy man, who will make proper use
of it. To be sure he may possibly feel
somewhat elated, as he has good reason to
be, but when he was handed over this for
tune, he was as cool and reticent as Judge
when he passed sentence. This sum certain
ly comes in very nice, as he had little more
than his wages to fall back on.

Although this is the dull season of the

items below:

and foundry: ''We are doing a first-class
business; we employ IA hands and make
full time to keep up with orders One who
will visit our establishment will have no
idea this is the dull season of the year.
Job printers are working extra time.
Our merchants, we suppose, are the ones
to complain Of dullness, but the crowded
advertising columns of the VINDICAToR
shows that they are trying to make the
quiet period as short as possible, by offering
bargains of all descriptions.
Tannehill & Co.'S ice factory will be at
work next week, and the shoe factory by

capitalists can do during this season of
rest, and that is to lay plans for future en-
terprises and get the people interested-a
hub, spoke and wheel factory-for instance
Compared with other cities in the State,
Staunton does not make bad showing.
