Inquire at the Gazette office. fc&tV The Senior Editor of the Gazette has, until further notice, relinquished the Real Estate Agency. Mineral Discoveries. —A few days ago we were shown a specimen of iron (ire from the mines of Mr. J. W. Boodey, some four miles below Mount Union, along the Juniata river, which contained a considerable amount of golrl and also some silver. Mr. Boodey's lands adjoin those of the "Sugar Valley Ore and Ot her Company," of which we made mention a few weeks ago. Mr. Charles V. Trew, the gentleman who showed us the speci men, says the ore has been assayed, and proves to contain twelve dollars and eighty cents of goid and eighty cents of silver to the ton. There are said to beamiliion tons of the ore; also immense deposits of oeher of every color, and clay suitable for mak ing stone and china ware.—J it. Union Times. The lands spoken of above are located in Miftliu eounty, in the Sugar Valley region. The prevalence of gold and silver in rocks and earthy matter is noth ing new, as some can no doubt he found in nearly every square mile in the State. The misfortune however is that it costs more to extract it than it is worth, though the above, if correct, gives more gold to the ton than is generally the case. The clay we suspect will prove of more value than the gold and silver. Lewistown Academy- —At the recent elec tion the following were constituted Trus tees of the Lewistown Academy for the ensuing year, viz: Wm. B. Hoffman, President; Thomas M. Uttley, Secretary; Wm. Russell, Treasurer; Joseph M. Cog ley, X. .T. Rud is ill, John B. Selheimer, Henry Zerlie, Amos Hoot, H.J.Walters, John Hamilton, George Blymyer, H. Frysinger, George W. Elder, John W. Shaw, and F. G. Franclscus. The attention of our readers is call ed to the Advertisements in another col umn of Messrs. Berger, Shutts & -Co., Chemists, Troy, X. Y. They are manu facturers of, and agents for, some of the most valuable Toilet preparations in use. By their use all may possess a clear, smooth skin, or a healthy and luxuriant growth of hair upon the head or face. Those of our readers having use for anything of the kind, would do well to patronize them. Killed in Saw Mill.—David A. Ludwig, of Yeagertown in this county, a young man about IS years of age, was instantly killed, in Hale & Go's saw mill at Phillips burg, Centre county, on Friday a week. He was engaged, we learn from the Dem ocrat, in sawing lath, and in attempting to cross a shaft was caught by it, and his body from his shoulders down literally crushed. Death of course was instanta neous. His remains- were buried on Sun day following in Yeagertown Cemetery. Do you know what that large pile of i>oxes in front of Itittenhouse & Mc- Kinueys' Store last week indicated? That the Spring and Summer Stock had arri ved, of course. Those goods were shelved and marked extremely low. It is important to know who selis cheap. Look at their list of prices in to-day's advertisement. Whisky Inspectorship.—Our readers will remember that E. K. Locke, esq., was last fall summarily removed as Inspector at Locke's Mills distillery, and Capt. Seth Benner appointed in his place. A week or two ago Captain Benner went through the same operation, Ner Thompson of Armagh township having been appointed in his place. Rotation in office we be lieve is democratic, or at least used to be. All in a blaze over our new Oil Shades —we have from the most delicate and fashionable colors, down to the com mon brown 011 sale this week —they arc very heavy and the most durable shade you can buy; also, French Curtain Loops and Hooks, Picture Nails, Shade Knobs, &c.,ond a new lot of very handsome Pic ture Tassels and Cord. Just opened an other stock of very rich and heavy Tea Tray and Waiters AT THE BIG COFFEE POT SIGN. Shows. —On Saturday Dan Rice's circus exhibited here, and of course drew together a considerable crowd, though the day and evening were raw and cold for the season. On Monday evening the Fakir of Vishnu re-opened in the Town Hall with a crowded house, and closed last evening with another. To-morrow even ing the Valley Vocalists will give a eon cert in the Town Hall. A district convention of Good Tem plar® will meet here to day, and continue in session until to-morrow. Rev. M<> Murray will deliver an address this even ing in the Town Hall, which of course will be crowded to hear liim. A new schedule went into opej'iltiori on Monday last on the Pennsylvania Rail road. No material change has been made in the day trains. A fast line west leaves the city at 7.H0 p. ni., passing here about 2 a. m., and arriving at Pittsburg between 9 and 10 a. m. The Weather has again been quite va riable during the past week. On Wednes day morning last snow fell thick and fast, continuing through most of the day. On Friday morning we had a heavy frost, which however did but little injury. On Saturday a chilly air prevailed, and on Monday and Tuesday wet, though but little rain fell. Conference Appointments.—The fiftieth annual session of the African M. E. Con ference was held at Baltimore last week. The following are among its appointments of ministem for the ensueing year : Harrisburg—Rev. A. Wilson. Cliambersburg—Rev. J. Tynes. Lewistown —Rev. E. J. W. Hammond. Williamsport—Rev. I. J. Pindel. The next meeting of the Conference will be held at Annapolis, in 1808. Workingmen's Meetings, Reedsville. —We have the proceedings of two meetings held at Reedsville for the purpose of organizing a Workingmen's Party. The Jirst was organized by appointing J. F. M'Kinley President and C. C. Burkliolder Secreta ry. The only business transacted seems to have been the passage of a resolution to withhold their support from all per sons that will not endorse them. [What persons do they support?] At the second meeting it. 11. Cupples was appointed ('hairman and 14.11. Bell Secretary. They then proceeded to pass a preamble and resolutions setting forth that they form a political organization from which candi dates are to be selected for all offices, end ing with a request for the county papers to publish them. As an item of news they are too long for the room we have, and besides we would suggest that as printers are also working men, it is hard ly fair to ask them to work for nothing. Pictures.—James W. Smith has remov ed his Photograph Gallery to the well known stand formerly occupied by his father, on Main street, near the Town Hall, where he is now prepared to execute all kinds of Pictures in the best style.— Photographs from life size to the tiniest gem can he procured at his rooms. With facilities increased and improved —good light and first-rate instruments —he feels able to please the most fastidious tastes. He invites all to visit his establishment. Everybody Wants fine. Every Family needs a good Sewing Ma chine. With it a week's sewing can be done in a day. Men buy various kinds of patent ed Implements, sit great cost, to save them selves labor or facilitate its accomplishment! Why not occasionally buy one that will be a help to their wives? Surely no good hus band will refuse to buy his wife a Sewing Machine, especially since a good, reliable one can be had for the small sum of 52- >, at Frysinger's Agricultural and Household Im plement Agency. Call and see it work.— You can't help being pleased with it. It is beautiful, simple in construction, and war ranted for live years. Special JTotires. NOTICE. The beautiful Piano Fortes of GXOVESTEXN A Co. are deemed by all good judges to be the Ultima Thulc of instruments of the kind. We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu sical instrument more pertect, although we are slow to admit that the limit of improvement can ever be attained. Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe tition with instruments of the best makers of this country and Europe, and received the reward of mer it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It is butjustice to say tnat thejudgmenethus pronounced has not been overruled by the musical world. Still, by the improvements lately applied by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in strument ha been made. They have accordingly achieved the paradox of making excellence more excellent. Surely. after this, they are entitled to the motto "Excelsior." novl4-ly ITCH ! ITCH ! ITCH ! SCRATCH ! SCRATCH !
