We wish we could have written this local with the t left out in carts. Job M. Shoemaker, our enterprising neighbor, has broken ground for a new three story building, to be erected the coining season.

SUDDEN DEATH.— Mr. John Hull, living near Sehellsburg, died suddenly on last Thursday evening. During the day lie was at work as usual, took sick that evening, and by morning was a corpse. Surely, "in the midst of life we are in death." Geo. W. Williams, Esq., of Napier, in a letter in last week's Inquirer, sug gests the propriety of passing an act "to allow (or compel) a tax to be levied on the townships most interested" in the proposed railroad from this place to Bridgeport. The correspondence on the Senatori al question which was handed to us last week, for publication, will be found in this issue, ft will be seen that the "happy family" have a few jars occa sionally, which must be anything but pleasant to the members thereof.

To this the nnexed reply lias been received : Sir: Your letter of the i'tith ultimo, it relation to the liability of farmers I ho sell flour manufactured from heir own wheat, has been received. I eply that though a farmer inav, without liability to special tax, sell lis (/rain or other farm products , either t the place of production, or while ravelling about from place to place in lie manner of a peddler, yet his ex mption is limited by the law to the roducls of his own farm; and there ►re, when he has grain floured at the nil, or manufactured into flour, it he pi no longer a farm product, but a lanufactured article, the farmer would e liable to special tax, the same as ny other person, either as a dealer or te idler, according as he may sell the tone, from any fixed place where he nay keep it for sale or sell while trav eling about front place to place in the banner of a peddler, and without re frJ whether he may sell in small [nantities or by the wagon load. Very respectfully, THOMAS HA ELAND, Deputy Commissioner. MUTUAL CORRESPONDENCE. The Senatorial question. ON THE HOUSE-TUP, Feb. 23, 1869. DEAR MACLAY "Who shall be our next Senator" has caused a tremendous agitation here, equal to an oil excite ment, and as you are the only availa ble person for that position, please al low the use of your name at once. Time is hurrying us on to the ides of March. Give us your views at length, and we will have them published in our valuable paper, the "Screech-owl of Freedom GEORGE. IN THE VALE, March 1, 1869. DEAR GEORGE: —Yours of the 23d uit., reached me while I was trying a case, before Justice Jones, involving the constitutionality of the Tenure of Office Act. lam glad that you have acted upon my suggestion, as it affords me a magnificent opportunity of say ing a thing or two which T otherwise could not have done. The so-called "original Republicans" shall hear from me. They shall learn that the spirit of Willian Maclay, of whom I am a lineal descendant, and whose cogno men Iso proudly .bear, shall stand up for its rights. But lam loathe to say that your candidate I cannot be. Brief ly allow me io assign ray reasons. In the first place, you must know that I have had the honor thrust upon meby his loyal Highness, the Governor of this great commonwealth of four mil lions of souls, to revise certain laws, for which I am paid the paltry sum of five thousand dollars a year. This "legis lativejob" may take years of toil. But there are other more powerful reasons. The aforesaid "original Re publicans" have placed themselves in ''battle array" against the aspirations of all who lately joined their ranks for the sole purpose of riding into power. They are "makir.g faces" at us when we but ask pay for the sacrifices we made to save their wanning cause from utter ruin. This is the "unkindest cut of all." Didn't Cessna, Spooney But ler and myself, the very best material of the Democracy come over and make the "Republican" party respectable? Didn't we cry "Copperhead" like the very old scratch ? And as I, on former occasions, went about to prove the di vinity of one of the "relics of barbar ism," so am I even now ready to get down on my knees and eat dirt with one of Butler's spoons. Yea, more, I am ready to acknowledge "the univer sal brotherhood of man" —that is to say, there is no difference between me and the other colored folks. In all conscience, I ask, should more be re quired to make me intensely loyal. But this subject is unpleasant to dwell upon. We should have no family jars. The Democracy without are yettiuy too confounded strong—toe can't afford it. Allow me to add one thing more. If I am to bo deprived of the "spoils," I feel determined that Washabaugh and Mullin shall also be left in the eoid. I have just discovered that Bedford county is not entitled to the candidate, this bein3 Fulton's turn. So these fel lows might just as well quit. Please say to my friends, that for the reasons above stated, I am no candi date. The look ahead is dark to me. I feel constrained to decline. J am doomed. Renegade Democrats have had their day. Farewell to all my as pirations! "No Irish need apply." MACLAY. THE following excellent tickets have i been placed in nomination, in Bedford borough and township. Democrats, j turn out and elect them ! Chief Burgee, Valentine Steckman. Assistant Burgess, Jooiah Haley. Councilman, William M. Cook, Jonathan Brightbill. High Constable, Lawrence Defibaugh.

No family need suffer from this distressing complaint if they will | keep Plantation Bitters in the house, and use it according to directions. The most important ingredient of this medicine is Calisayaor Peruvian Bark, which is known to be the finest and purest tonic In the vegetable kingdom. The extract of this Bark is the active principle of all the good Fever and Ague Medicines prescribed by intelli- | gent doctors. Calisaya Bark is used extensively in the manufacture of Plantation Bitters, as well as quinine, ' and we dare say they owe their popu- 1 larity mostly to that fact. We can receommend them.
