For certain reasons, which it is unnecessary to give here, Mr. Sandoe, the tailor, has closed his shop in this town and removed his utensils back to Centre Hall. This sudden departure of so good a mechanic leaves us just where wo were less than two months ago, viz: without a tailor. Mr. A. A. Frank authorizes us to advertise the shop for rent to any tailor who is an experienc ed workman and who can cut and fit to the satisfaction of his patrons. It is a splendid opening for .1 first-class tailor, as the town and sunounding country afford a large trade. —All colors in Silicias atKauffman's store. —For Earache, Toothache, Soie Throat, Swelled Neck,. tint the results of colli and iullauimation. use Dr. Thomas' Eelectric Oil—the great pain destroyer. —Mr. Jacob Wagner, Sr., an aged citizen of this county, residing in the Loop, departed tins life on lust Mon day and was bored yesterday (Wednes day) forenoon.

The subject of this article is Eddie, the little son of Mrs. Emma Tomlinson, who about a month ago left for the West. On Saturday forenoon Eddie accompanied his uncle, Will Ulrich, to Coburn on a lumber wagon and on his return occupied the back part of the now empty wagon. When turning the corner of Main and 1 Vnn streets he jumped otf and the hind wheel of the heavy wagon passed over his lower limbs, breaking the left one at the thigh lie was picked up and taken home to his grandparents, Midi 1 ael Ulrich's, where he received proper medical attendance. His mother Was at once telegraphed for and arrived on Tuefday morning. The little fellow stool the painful operation bravely and without any drug whatever and is at this writing doing very well. Observations made during last Sat urday's parade occasion us to suggest to our worthy town council the making of m ordinance "prohibiting the tying of teams or the stopping of horses on streets where such parades pass or pub lic demonstrations take place." Such an ordinance might prove the means of averting serious accidouts on such oc casions and it always pays to take time by the firelock. In several instances accidents were prevented last Saturday only by the pluck and presence of mind of some of our citizens,*who just in time turned away frightened horses, tluit'stood along thelineof march. Had it not been for this timely assistance several women and children might haye been trampled to dentil. Horses as a rule become unmanageable when they hear a brass band or see a large 11 ig or banner pas-dug by and for that reason should not be allowed on the print ipal streets of t >wn during public parades. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. —The new building of Mnsser & Smith, in course of erection at tlie corner of Main and Penn streets, is nearing completion. When finished it will be an ornament to town. The lower story contains two spacious store rooms facing Main street,with attract ive plate glass fronts, and is divided hv a staircase of comfortable width, which leads to the second story. The other two rooms face Penn street, the one to be used as a warehouse, the other to be rented to a mercantile firm. The upper storv of the building will be par titioned off so as to make four fair-siz ed rooms, the largest of which is being fitted up for a G. A. 11. and I. O. O. F. ball Said hall is situated above the storeroom which will be occupied by Mr. Jerome Spigelmyer. The other three rooms are above the hardware store and will be specially adapted for smaller societies. Altogether the structure will be the handsomest and most convenient in town an d ttie proprietors, as well as the contract or, Mr. John Kerstetter, Jr.. can with just pride look upon it as the work of their enterprise and mechanical skib.

EDITOR OF TIIK JOURNAL NO doubt it may l>e of some interest to the many readers of your paper to read a few iines front this part of the world. Since the 16th of March, last, the time I left home, I found out more a bout this great country than 1 ever knew before I left ray old home, three miles east of Itebersburg, Pa. When we started we were a party of five until we reached Chicago, when we scatter ed, each going in a different direction. I stopped two weeks in Kane and De- Kalb counties, 111., to visit some of my friends. Finding no profitable work in that section, I went on to Nebraska. The ground at that time, was covered with snow nearly all the way. I arriv ed at Geneva, Fillmore county, on the 2nd of April. The weather was cold and the reads were in a tenible condi tion. The next day, Saturday, the snow fell fast, and a flprce wind blew it along in blinding drifts. That same day I started for my final destination, about 10 miles southwest. The winter storms had now ceased and the weather became pleasant. The farmers began work in their 160 acre fields. The me chanics commenced building up the new towns which are springing up in the midst of the large prairies. The Burlington and Missouri ltiyer It. It. Company are constructing two rail road* which cross each other in this county, one leading from Fairmount to Kansas City, the other from Beatiice to Hastings. Quito a number of new towns were laid out along these roads and their first houses aie being erect ed. Carpenters are settling here from all parts, the writer being one of them, and the sound ol the hammers and the screaching of the saws makes things real lively. We are paid from $2 to £2.50 per day. Many of the eastern folks thiuk this is the wrong country to emigrate to. The* imagine it to be swept clean of everything by the raging storms. But such is not the case. The farmers out here have two chances to one in the East. Here they raise more grain, more fruit and more stock. From 75 to 150 acres of corn, and an abundance of small grain, may be found on every farm. Melons and peanuts are raised by a good many farmers and much en joyed by eastern immigrants. Thefarm er finds a ready market for all he raises. Wheat is worth 45 cents, Oats 20 cts., Corn 16 cts., Rye 40 cts., Pork £3.25 and fat cattle $4.00 per hundred. But ter sells at 10 cts., per lb. and eggs at 8 cts. per doz. We had a heavy rain on the 22nd of May. The weather is fair and the ground dry. Streams are scarce and springs are not known of. But water can readily I e secured at any place by boring a well. Three men will bore a well 300 feet deep in one day without working very hard, Ouce in a while we are visited by prairie fires. But I must close lest 1 weary you and the readers of the Journal. With the request to send the Journal to me for one year, I am Yours truly, C. C. SPANGLER. Eden, Fillmore Co., Neb. Neighboring News. COBURN. Warm weather has now tak.ui the place of the recent cold snap Dr. Deshler and wife.of Aaronsburg, left for tiie West last week, via Wash* ington, D. C. and the P. It. R. Mr. Wihloy, our now track boss,mov ed from Watsontown into part of the residence of F. P. Darker. The Lutheran congregation of this place organized a Mite Society one eve ning last week. Our blacksmith, Felix, is doing a good business, and works early and late. There is no one out of employment, that we know of, around here, which speaks well for the place. The new drill of Durham Bros & Co., will shortly stock up the new audition to their store room and will carry a complete line of general merchandise and groceries. And now is their time to advertise in the Journal as it will pay them to do HO. Mrs. Clark lias moved into the new building across irom the depot. Our shoemaker, Tom Keen, Is kept very busy at his trade. Quite a number of our citizens took in Mlllheim on Decoratian Day. Messrs. Grenninger, Barker & Ilock man spent two days along the moun tain si reams tishiug last week and re port trout plenty. Quite an exciting time around the station last Saturday between one of our citizens and two Jew peddlers. VALE. AARONSBURG. Andy says its Buffalo Mead—yum. P.

Who's next V Samuel Miller, Aaronsburg's oldest resident shoemaker is confined to his bed, suffering from what is known as dropsy. Wo are told at this writing Mr. Miller is in a dangerous condition. The masons and the boss carpenter, Mr.Bierly with his men from Brushval ley,commenced work ou Lewis Mench's barn last Monday morning. Some of the boys are already smacking their lips for that good dinner they expect to eat on the day of "raising." Since the editor of the Journal took an active part in the ceremonies of last Saturday, Decoration day, we expect him to assume the task of giying the readers of the Journal a report of the day's proceedings. ANOTHER. Rebersburg and Vicinity. Ilem ! Here we are again, after be ing urged by many readers of the Jour nal to give them an occasional slip of items. In tliis section the prospect for an abundaut bay crop is good. J. R. Brumgart's new brick house i 3 nearing completion. Prof. C. L. Gramley gave the outside of his house a coat or paint, which im proves the appearance of his residence very mucti. A disease which seems to baffle the skill of our horse doctor, A. G. Gram ley, has visited the stables of Dan. Roy er, and two yaluable horses belonging to that gentleman have died of this dis ease. Jno. Spangler at present has the plasterers at work on the interior of his stone mansion which has been re raodelei. Mr. Spangler also expects to give the outside of the building a coat of plastering. Last week a set of Snyder county carpenters came to this vicinity and proceeded to tear down an old barn owned by Jacob Gephart. They are at present engaged in framing a new barn, which will be erected a few rods- north from where the old one stood. One day last week, while two of Wes. Snyder's children were playing in the bam, they eyed a straw cutter. The little girl at once began to turn it, while her brother,aged about five years, attempted to feed the machine. He got his hand too close to the knives, and two of his fingers were cut off and his thumb badly lacerated. Dr. Bright was at once summoned to dress the wound and the little boy is doing as well as can be expected. Samuel Condo has the painters at work on some of his outbuildings. Sam is trying to make his new home at tractive. On Tuesday of last week, while a small child of Daniel Weaver, near Wolf's Store, was playing in the house, it crept on the hot stove plate. Its clothing ignited and before the flames could be extinguished the child was so badly burned that it is not expected to liye. A yaluable colt, owned by PerryCon do, died of that much-dreaded disease which seems to be rapidly spreading throughout this part of Brushyalley, Memorial Day was well observed in our town. Members of the G. A. R. post arrived here in the forenoon from Millheiui and Aaroosburg to join the veterans of this valley in the solemn decoration ceremonies.

It will lie advisable for the fellow nev er to bhow his face in Smith Town again. Wm. Bright and family.of Millheim, were in our midst on Sunday. One of our young men, who is but a child yet, carries a revolver and is bold enough to flourish it and shoot w'.th it publicly on Sunday evenings when go ing home from preaching.

Mrs. Dr. Frank, of Philadelphia, is at present here with her surveyors to locate lands, for which she claims to have an old title.

The Centre Hall club carried off the laurels. Chas. Miller, Esq., has made a busi ness trip to Lock Haven.
