TO OUR PATRONS.
We have this year, In addition t> our regular expenses, I
to meet nearly S3OO on the Ist of April, ami we t ru*t there
fore that our "itroii-s who have heretofore .o liberally res- j
ponied to this annual rail, will do so. again. Ihe past tew
years, with their hi&h prices, have been tr> ones to u>, j
for while everything else has cone up our terms for the
paper and prices of job work are the same when we j
could purchase flour at $4.50 and $5.00 per barrel, butter at
cents per pound, and many other th :* lit proportion;
v ! .i; -...15, such notices as "We ant money," " We i
MCST have motley," Ac., arc never found .it the columns of
the Gazette unless it be at this season. This i- uot because !
we do not need it, (for to tell the truth we have been a bor
rower In 1856,) but because these constant "duns" are cold
ly looked upon by the public, end seldom produce any good. '
There, is one class to whom we have a special word to
say. They are few in number, but totally regardless wticth- j
cr they pay or not. The day has arrived when we MUST
dispense with seen "patronage," and we h.-re give tliem
notice that Wc shall take an early occasion to strike their j
names oft" the books.

'CO-TARY RAT, ROACH. BEI> RUG, AC., EX
TERMINATOR.--We invite special attention to
"Costar's" advertisement in another column.
These Remedies for all domestic pests, such
as I tats. Cock Roach?*, lid Bugs, Ants, Fleas,
Ac., are said to be invaluable; indeed, we can
apeak from actual knowledge of their rare
merits. The name of "COSTA R" is a "house- '
hold word" to New Yorkers, and his Depot,
No. 388 lirvadicay, is thronged by thousands
daily. As the summer approaches we advise
every one who would be rid of the above na
med pests, to send aud procure a timely sup
ply of the Exterminator. DRUGGISTS and
DEALERS also should send their orders early
if they would secure a trade in articles for
which there is a constant demand, and on
which a fair profit may bo realized.
These Remedies, we learn, are being exten
sively introduced throughout the Canadas,
West Indies aud South America, as well as the
United States. Orders (large or small,) ac
companied by the cash, will receive prompt
attention if addressed to "C STAR'S Principal
Depot, N'o. 366 Broadway, .Yew York.—

Facts for our Legislators at Ilarrisburg.—
A Western bank ha.* exploded, leaving just
Jour dollars in <•> ,n to redeem one hundred
thousand of its own bills in circulation. The
hollers, probably mechanics and working
people, will be deeply impressed with the ne
cessity oi more banking facilities to devclope
business, or, in other words, transferring the t
Tame if their labor to the pockets of individ
uals who borrow credit, and call that creating
wealth. Gur legislators at Ilarrisburg are
now busily engaged in furnishing such facil- .
ities.
Were the notes of the bank referred to
secured by ( S. stocks, Pennsylvania State
stocks, or by mortgages or real estate, the
holders would have no need to care how many
cashiers run away, or what the assets arc.
Instecl therefore of being an argument
against banks, as the Philadelphia Ledger
would make it appear in the above paragraph,
it is in reality only an additional proof that j
the present system is defective and ought to
be changed to free banking, or some other
mode offering like sccuritr.
feftV.ihe appointments made for Philadel
phia Ly i resident Buchanan arc announced
to be as follows;
Collector—Joseph P. Raker, of Lancaster. }

' I -or - are to be taken as samples of ,
what rotation in office" means, those who
are now iu office may rejoice, as no less than
tour of the above are either at the present
time, or have been of late, holding posts of
profit.

a test of the strength of parties.
jfca>"-Gov. Geary's farewell address to the
people cf Kansas ha 3 beeu published. It
gives a sketch of the Governor's administra
tion, setting forth the previous and present
condition of the Treasury, recounting the
difficulties and embarrassments thrown in his
j way. lie says that the great body of the
people of the Territory are conservative and
law-abiding, and willing t- make sacrifices
tor the sake of peace, while the troubles have
been occasioned by ambitious schemers, who
have no special interest in the welfare of the
i territory, who never desired peace, nor will
they allow it to continue while they have the
power to prevent it.
( RentalkahU Coincidences.—— It is remarka
ble how much alike editors think aud write,"
as an instance of which we may state that
last week wc noticed in three different papers
editorials word for word the same as previ
ously expressed in the Gazette !
LOCAL AFFAIRS.
CHINESE SUGAR CANE. —The high prices of I
sugar and molasses —unnecessarily continued
so by the duty on sugar to protect a few plan
ters in Louisiana —has called attention to the
cultivation of cane in the Northern and Mid
dle States, and several instances are recorded
where it has met with complete success by
using the Chinese seed. If, as is alleged, it
can be grown in this section, and thus both
sugar aud molasses ,for family use raised by
each farmer, a few years will relieve us from
all dependence on Southern growers and com
pel them and speculators to come down to a
reasonable price. It may be however a mere
| morus multicaulus affair, but still it is worth
| a trial, not on such a 9cale as to result in loss
should it fail, but as an experiment, and in
; this mode vvc would advise every farmer and
l owner ot lots to embark in it. If successful
I on a small scale, it can then bo followed up
|on a larger. The seed can be obtained at F.
J. Hoffman's store, where are also to be had
the King Philip corn, Japan Pea. and other
choice seeds.
In the west a number of enterprising far
mers are taking hold of the subject with ap
parently full faith in its success.
.Mr. K. S. Baker, of Rochester Mills, Wa
bash county, 111., writes to the Belleville Ad
vocate that he shall plant twenty-five acres
with the Chinese sugar cane the present sea
son. "I am convinced," he says, "that the
State of Illinois will in five years make her
own sugar, and if I have luck I shall make
; this season enough sugar, and certainly with
! molasses, ti* supply my little town. At all
I events I shall try." Mr. Ivroh of Wabash
county, who some months ago made a state
ment of his experiment with the sugar cane
; last year, offers to bet the skeptical editor of
j the Charleston Courier SSOO that he will man
ufacture from one acre, "planted with the
Chinese weed," live hundred gallons of mo
lasses, a superior article to any manufactured
in the South, and sold by the merchants in
| Coles county in 1850, for 75 cents per gallon;
and further, that he will manufacture it at a
\ cost of ten cents per gallon.
SUDDEN DEATH.—David, son of George W.
• Stewart, Esq., aged about sixteen years, was
j taken ill on Saturday evening with inflamma
tion of the bowels, induced by a severe co'd
and died on Monday night. At this season
; of the year, when the weather is very change
j able aud the ground cold and damp, it is best
to avoid all unnecessary exposure, and espe
cially in the evening. From a disregard of
j this sanitary principle, many a family circle
has been invaded by sickness and many a
j home rendered desolate by death. "An ounce
of prevention is" said to be " worth a pound
: of cure," and in nothing is this more true
J and trite than in the preservation of health,
as any one can testify who has ever been laid
for weeks on a bed of sickness, swallowing
, nauseous drug- and "villainous compounds."
LEWJSTOWN ACADEMY.—At exhibition was
held at this institution on Tuesday evening,
at which some of the leading pupils contend
ed for prizes in declamation. There was a
large audience in attendance, who were much
' gratified with t'.ie proficiency exhibited. The
prizes were awarded as follow-: First Division
' —Henry Frank, James Uitz Burns, \\ illiani
Bowers; second division—James Allison,
George \Y. Patton, Charles Ritz: third divis
ion—Horace Culbertson, Wilson Norris, Eze
kicd K. Schwartz. Another Exhibition, to
consist of Dialogues, Essays, &c. will tale
place this evening.

Two party tickets were nominated, but the
voting was by no means confined to them, as
j there was considerable scratching on both
I sides. But for the canal drill sergeants, some
of whom were at it from morning until night,
j there would have been but little partizanship
j iu the matter, as quito a number thought both
| might have been considerably improved in
material. The vote was about 100 short of
the poll last fall.
BgUThc practice of boys hanging on to tho
omnibus or baggage cart resulted on Tuesday
last in the latter passing over the ana of a
little boy, a son of Samuel Miller, bruising
his arm considerably. This hanging on to
vehicles of all kindo is extremely dangerous,
and it is hoped all who are in the habit of
doing it will take warning and hereafter seek
less dangerous amusements.
YEACERTOWN INN. —This establishment,
hitherto kept by Mr. Scbell, will pass into
the hands of Joseph Graver .an the Ist April,
who will spare no pains to keep up the repu
tation as a first class hotel established for it
by Mr. S.

JSSsf'Messrs. Ccuch and Clum have been
trusseling this end of the river bridge prepar
atory to building a new pier, proposals for

| SERIOUS ACCIDENT. —On Tuesday of
• last week, us Messrs. J. Y'cager and W. I
Paul were attaching a grindstone to some
of the machinery in Yeager's saw mill, in .
! Derry township, GEORGE \V. Ur.sn, a
, young lad about 10 years of age, had his .
! arm broken in the following manner.—
It appears that the boy was standing close
: by looking <>a, and so near the stone, that !
I the shaft of it caught in his coat tail.—
! lie endeavored to unloosen it with one of
! highlands, but while in the act. of doing so,
the shaft also became entangled in his
coat sleeve, and before any assistance i
could be rendered, forced his arm around i
; the shaft, breaking it immediately above j
; the wrist. This should serve as a fear- ;
! ful aud timely warning to young per- j
' sous, aud even those more advanced in
! years, not to venture too near to machine
, ry, as they know not at what moment some |
! of their clothing may accidentally eonie !
in contact with it, and if so, a bruised '
body or broken limbs, if not instant death,
will be the direful consequences of their
' carelessne-s. a- in the ease of this little boy.
—Democrat.
; Don't A'jree. —The Blair County Whig says
. the Superintendent of the Portage Railroad
j is paying particular attention to the opening .
j of the road, while the standard asserts that
ho has beea squandering money in the ma
chine shops, find will open the road later in
the season than it has been for years.
Holloway'a Ointment and Pills, a certain
remedy for ulcerous sores.—Jeremiah Hen
derson, of Wilmington, North Carolina, suf
fered for seven years and five months with
six ulcerous sores on his leg, and three on
: his arms, which defied every kind of treat
j merit; although lie used some of the in >st
| noted remedies for the cure of the same, both J
t internal and external, it was without avail.
| At last, he had recourse to Ilolloway's Oint-
I moot and Pills, which quickly caused the i
| wi unds to have an improved appearance, and
by continuing with these remedies for ten
! W' ek. he was completely cured, and has ever
| since enjoyed the best of health.
Important Caution to Druggists and Tier
chants in Genera!.
Whereas, one William Leith, late of the city j
of New York, drug broker, has recently been ;
: engaged in the nefarious and unlawful businc--
I of counterfeiting the medicines known through
' out the world as Ilolloway's Pills and
way's Ointment, and ordered to be printed, |
j der lalse pretences and for fraudulent purposes,
j 500,000 copies of the book or pamphlet of di
j rections around each box and pot.
And whereas, the counterfeit book t. r pam- '■
| phlet ia well calculated to deceive, being a fac '
j simile of the original, except so far as regards j
the water-mark in the pape.r, viz : "Holloway, 1
! New York and London, 1 ' which appears on ev
| try leaf ofihe eenuine document, but can oniv
; be seen by holding the paper between the eye
1 and the light.
And whereas, the aforesaid William Leith. ;
' having been arrested, and fully charged, on ex- '
) animation before Justice Connolly, with procu
ring the piinting and uttering of the above I
counterfeits, escaped from the custody of the t
j officers on the 30th day of December* 1856, and !
j is now a fugitive from justice, and is supposed
j to be pursuing his dishonorable and felonious !
designs elsewhere.
The Druggists of the various cities, towns j
I and villages of the United States are therefore
hereby cautioned against dealing with the afore
said William Leith for any articles purporting i
; to be Holloway's Fills and Holloway's Oint
ment, or purchasing any preparations bearing |
| that name from any quarter, unless the leaves
' of the pamphlets wrapped around the boxes
i and pots containing the same shall bear the
i words " Holloway, New York and London," in j
! the form of a water-mark which can be distin
j guished by holding up the printed sheet singly j
Ito the light. All others are counterfeit, and all I
| persons vending them are liable to heavy pen- I
alties, and will be prosecuted to conviction by
the proprietor of the genuine preparations, as
the only means of guarding his own interests t
j and protecting the public against damage to I
i health and lite from the use of deleterious ar- i
| tides sold under the guaranty of his name and j
reputation. The said Liyth is a .Scotchman by '
! birth, about 35 years of age, of good address, j
j decp-toned voice, florid complexion, light hair •
! and thin whiskers, gray eyes, standing about 5 j
j feet inches, and somewhat inclined to cor- j
i pulency.
