One of the most successful and largely at
tended sales of personal property ever seen in
this neighborhOod was that of Mr.. Conrad
Fisher, on the 18th inst. Almost everything
sold well and some of the articles that had
been brought by the owner from Germany
caused hot competition in the bidding and
brought fancy prices. P. e. Soth conducted
the sale and Bart Seidl was the clerk.

get near them. The same may be said of the
rabbits. b.
Political matters appear to be dead in this
section of the county and we can hardly realize
| that an election will take place shortly. The
| only candidates we have seen are Mr.. George
! w. Yelott and Mr.. Jacob Elliott. who passed
| through here one day this week on their way
| to attend the Democratic Ox-rOast at Prospect
Park, 18th district.
The organization of Perry Hall improvement
Association should prove good thing for this
| community. One of its main objects is to
move for the abolition of the toll-gates, which
| are q nuisance in any community. People
would gladly pay higher taxes if by so doing
they could rid themselves of these troublesome
gates on the pixies.

Sixth District.-Autumn is here and winter
is coming. A good indication of it is when
fellow has to jump out of bed and skirmish
around for blanket.
Prudent houskeepers. like the busy bees and
the squirrels, are laying up for the future,
storing apples and vegetables, making apple
butter, canning fruit, putting their houses in
order, potting flowers, laying aside white
dresses. &c.
The farmers are hustIing, too husking corn
or n ovir at 0Qu
which is too much, when taking into consider
alton the stock, farming Implements fertili-
Zers taxes, insurance, rent and capital they
are compelled to invest, with the prices, risks
and seasons to contend with. The laborer re-
quires no capital; he can even wear out his
old clothes to an advantage. Ifhe hnsks lively
he can keep warm, is sure of good appetite
for his free grub (no one lives better than the
farmer) and he can sleep like top"
when your apples all is gethered and the ones
Is poured around the cellar floor, in red and
yeller heaps;
And your cider makin's over, and your wimmin
With their mince and applebutter. and their
souse and sausage, too;
1 don't know how to tell it-but if sech thing
could be
AS the angels wantin' boardin', and they'd call
around on me
I'd want to 'comOdate email the whole indur-
in flock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the fod-
der'S in the SHOCK
And when this is all attended to there is the
frewood to prepare. This warns fellow up
twice, viz: When he is cutting it and then
when lounging behind the old kitchen stove,
reading the newspapers, of which there is such
variety-the agricultural to instruct, the
magazines to amuse, and The UNION to post
him up on local news, and the reveries of such
old quill-drivers as are lin the sere and yellow
leaf' like OLD FoGY.
