SWEET CIDER. —Grove has the best cider we have ever tasted—it is as sweet as when taken from the press. He has also cut a fresh cheese, which is excellent. Give him a call, and try for yourself. The Big Tannery.—We lately paid a visit to the extensive tanning establish ment of Messrs. Spauogle & Co., which is now rapidly approaching completion.— Thi- is one of the largest (if not the larg est brick steam tannery in Pennsylvania, the whole building being under a slate roof. The main building is 231 feet in length by 45 wide, with a wing 195 long. The bark shed is 180 feet long by 35 wide, and is reached by a railroad siding of 1,000 feet. The building contains 210 vats, 28 leeches, and 8 }M>ols, with all necessary mjuisites for running water, liquor, &e. The drying and other rooms are to be heated by means of steam pipes. The engine, which was built by Reese, Slagle & Foust, of this place, is 25 horse power, and was set in motion on Monday last, and found pi lie an excellent piece of workmanship, complete in all its parts. Among other features in the building is an Arehimedian screw, which performs the work of carrying water up hill. THE GARDEN. —Now and then a pleas ant sunny day in late Autumn breaks in UJKJH us, as if to admonish us not to leave many such go by without performing the numerous outdoor fall labors. They can not be l>etU:r employed than by clearing the yard and garden of whatever rubbish may have accumulated in the summer months. There are tomato vines, stumps of cabbage, some iate weeds and other useless plants, all of which should be east out, root and branch. It will not be re gretted when Spring opens to find your garden clean and inviting—ready for spade and rake. LEO BROKEN. —Mr.Conrad Uirich.sen., had his leg broken on Friday a week. *lt appears he was on top of a load of straw, which was being hauled front the Shen felder farm, behind the ridge, to town, and. on the way, the wagon leaned to one side causing him to fall off, and by strik in_r a stone his leg was broken. Dr. T. Howard Van Valzah set the bones, and Mr. F. is doing as well as could lie expect ed.—Democrat Col. John Hamilton, of this place, has been ap|Hinted U. S. Assistant Assessor for Mifflin county, vice Joseph Milliken, removed. This is an excellent appoint ment. Col. Hamilton is one of our lxst citizens, and, as a Johnson Republican, did efficient service during the late cam paign for the whole Democratic ticket.— Democrat. Notwithstanding Col. Hamilton's 44 ef ficient services in the lute campaign for the whole democratic ticket," his com mission has not yet arrived, and conse quently Joseph Milliken, who has credi tably filled the office for some years, con tinues to discharge its duties. We would recommend the Col. to apply for some thing else, as few seem to desire to see Mr. Milliken removed, and as he also seems to l>e a harder nut to crack than was supposed. Look out for the meteoric shower on } Tuesday or Wednesday next. S.
