Business in the Burg is said to be unusual
lY brisk, Notwithstanding The farming COM
munity has been busily engaged inputting in
corn. The people are again pouring into town,
and the stores and shops are again driving more
than their usual amount Of trade this season Of
the year


The crops in the neighborhood Of the Burg
are extra good, and the prospect for fruit has
not been as good for several yeArs. The to.
bscco growers in the vicinity are "as busy as
nailors," as the chances for getting in the crop
are good. A great deal of tobacco will be
grown in the neighborhood this season.


While We are about the Burg, we will relate
a little personal item for the encouragement of
young men everywhere, who claim that the
times are hard, and that they find it difficult to

seph Fisk, aged ID years, some time ago re
moved from the Burg to the State Of Illinois,
he was blacksmith by trade, and good toOrk
man and old as he is, he will work down a
good many young men. A few weeks ago a
gentleman in Miamisburg, who wanted a
steady, aetiue man in his shop, wrote to Fisk,
offering him "berl" at $40 per week, and
urging him to accept it'll Times being little

"WELI, WHAT OF rT7"--Ths war news, "four

DEeEIvEp HusBAND.-A German youth,
Of good appearance, came to us, yesterday,
with tale of mans perfdy and woman's
frailty, which was perfectly narrowing to
the soul. He wished the whole affair pub.
lished, for the sake of morality and justice,
and offered to pay us for our trouble. We
told him that we were not in the habit of ac
cepting pay for what appeared editorially in
the paper, and furthermore that we could not
consent to mention any names, unless under
circumstances where the proof was so con-
elusive as to be beyond controversy. He
went away, not altogether satisfied, and we
concluded simply to make an item of his in
formation, without specifying names and
places, although we have all the facts in our
possession. (By the way, it is astonishing
how many queer things an editor does be-
come acquainted with in the course of his
professional duties and labors, which he does
not feel at liberty to say anything about, ex-
cept by vague intimation and dim hints)


1t appears, in this instance, that there is an
honest, Woodworking man in town, who has
a very pretty wife, to whom he is greatly de.
voted. She is apparently as much devoted
to him, but our informant (who wishes all the
names published-a thing we could not think
of doing) says that he has seen enough with
his own eyes to make each particular hair of
his head stand on end like quills of the fret
full porcupine, and his eyes bug out like a
rabbits that has been knocked on the back
of the head. A young man boards at the
house, and every time that the unsuspecting
husband leaves home, he avails himself of the
circumstances to take very unjustifable lib
critics with his wife. This thing has been
going on, our informant says, for some time,
and he thinks it the duty of the public press
to expose it. We don't think so, unless some.
thing of more public nature than what ha:
yet happened shall transpire. So that, hav
ing secured the end of this little article
which is an item, we shall say no more upon
the subject until something of character
calling for public comment and the mention
of names shall happen.

SAN Francisco AND MARYsvMLE RAILROAD.
On Monday last, says the Cacheville Spec
tator, Judge Dame, Vice President and At
torney of the San Francisco and Marysville
Railroad Company addressed the citizens of
Cacheville on the Importance of encouraging
the enterprise, showing conclusively that it
was to the interest of every man to do his ut
most in Immediately establishing this line
through our county. Until Judge Dame came
among us, the matter had been misrepresen-
ted to our people; a few were disposed to
act, as they thought, very wisely and judi
eiously by protecting the financial affairs OF
the county, and many of them since have be-
come satisfied that to improve our financial
condition, it were well to create revenue,
and the construction Of this road through our
county, and other property that naturally be-
longs with it, at once puts the county in pos
session of "a desirable property of immense
value, the taxes of which will soon exceed
that of the subscription asked from the coun-
ty. Judge Dame has represented this sub
ject fairly, and many who were disposed to
look upon the work as matter of specula
tion on the part of capitalists, are now salts
fed of the talsity of the idea, and have ex.
pressed themselves to us as determined to
vote for the subscription at all hazards and
we hope the voters of Y Yolo will look well to
their interests and show a willingness to as.
sist the company, and assure capitalists that
the investment is well worthy their atten-
tion.

USE OF BALLOONS IN WAR.-Capt. Russel,
the distinguished correspondent of the Lon
don Times, writing from the seat of war, de.
scribes the use of a balloon in the present
war. He says:


| The brothers GODDARD of eronaut repute,
who came out some time ago provided with
| their apparatus, made yesterday in the after
noon their first experiment at Castenedolo
One of them made an ascent in a small bal
loon to explore the position of the enemy be.
yond Chieze. Having first mounted on the
campanile to take the bearings and make
himself somewhat acquainted with the coun
try, he entered his little skiff and went up in
the air with the regularity which, according
to those who saw the ascent, showed he was
master of his eccentric conveyance. He rose
to the height of $50 to 700 yards, stopped
minute or so and then descended again with
as much regularity as in ascending.
Year: 1859

If then, the experiments of the Messrs.
GODDARD are successful, the intelligence de-
partment of the allied armies will acquire
most fruitful source of information. There
are, of course, cannon balls which may stop
up this source in second; but artillery has
considerable difficulty in touching bodies
that move slowly or not at all, and there is
very little chance of its being able to hurt an
object flying through the air.

An old English Com-The San Joa-

landlord of the Magnolia Hotel, in this
city, while looking over some baggage
which had been left at the house for
long time, discovered silver coin abont
the. size of shilling, though not as
heavy. Upon one side is the picture of
the reduobtable Queen Bess, of maiden
fame. All we could trace around the
coin on that side was the word ELIZA
BETH" The Queen has around her neck
the high ruff of the day, and the crown
upon her head. Upon the other side is
a shi eld crossed into four parts, and the
date, 1878, upon it. The piece is con-
sequentIy nearly three hundred years

CONTESTED ELECTION Since the City

What strange nation ours is ! We

goods we wear. We have the streams to
furnish the water power-stone for the mills
-hunds to labor in them who will be glad
of employment-skill to manage them and
genius to invent all the necessary improve
mentS-and yet we send abroad for all our
woolen and cotton goods and run in debt
for them every year.


We have iron enough nnder our soil to
last the world a thousand years, with coal
enough to melt it.


We have built furnaces and forges and
foundries. We have hands to work them
aud skill TO manage them and ingenuity to
supply them with models, aud yet send a.
broad for our iron aud thus give the profits
of the labor to foreign wOrkmen.


We have more lead than we can use, and
masses of native copper within our borders
unrivaled in the world, and yet we import
our lead and our copper and permit ours
to remain untouched.


Why is there so much folly in the ma
ton


Simply because such is the policy and
such has been the decree Of the Southern
Democratic party.


Some of Democratic papers enumerate
the benefits the nation has derived from the
Democratic party. Among these benefits,
let them mention the fact that the policy
of that party has been to make US depen-
dent on foreign countries for the supply Of
articles that we could better make ourselves.


It's policy is ond has been to sacrifice
Northern TO Southern industrial interests.
