They are under the instructions of Wui. Bratton, an old and experienced leader. School Exhibitions. —The Public Schools of this place will give Exhibitions in the Town Hail, next Thursday and Friday evenings for grown people, and on tiie afternoons of both those days for children. These entertainments are usually very interesting, and if we are to judge from the earnestness of the youthful regiment for this performance, it will compare fa vorably with those of past years. The music is superintended by J. Stewart McEwen. Of course everybody will be there. Accid3iit. —While Emanuel Bach was papering his shop on Friday last, the step ladder broke, precipitating him to the floor, spraining his left arm and making a severe gash on his cheek.

Tor Sale.— A large lot of ground in the western end of town, with a small dwel ling, fruit trees, &c., thereon. Price SSOO. This would make a cheap home. Inquire at Gazette office. Croup.— As many children are troubled with croup, we publish the following rem ely, which is said to be reliable : Wring a linen cloth—cotton will do, but linen is preferable—out of cold water, fold it so as to make several thicknesses, and place it upon the child's throat and chest, then fold a dry flannel and wrap carefully over it. Warm the child's feet —with hot stones if necessary—ami cover with plen ty of bed clothes and let it go to sleep ; you cannot perceive when it wakes that it has even a cold. It acts like a charm. Cure for Hvdrophobia. —Now that there is so much excitement concerning fnad dogs, and in order that our readers may be prepared for the dog days of 1567, we publish the following cure for hydropho bia. Cut it out and put it in your receipt book for future reference : Take the root of elecampane one ounce and a half, cut fine, then boil it in one pint of new milk down to a half pint; take this three morn ings, fasting, and eat no food until four o'clock in the afternoon. It should beta ken every o her morning; the last two doses must weigh two ounces each. This remedy will have the desired effect if ta ken at any time within twenty-four hours after the accident.

A false alarm of fire was raised on Thursday evening last, between nine and ten o'clock, which had the effect of break ing up the meeting at the Methodist Church. Some inquiry was instituted to discover who ihe parties were, but proved unsuccessful, those who knew not choos ing, as usual, to tell. Jud-ring by the thick tongues trying to bellow out " lire," whisky was evidently at the bottom. We go to press this week at an earlier hour than usual for two reasons, either of which would no doubt bo satisfactory to our patrons. First, wind and weather permitting, there is a four days fishing trip on the tapis; and second our enlarge ment may require some spare time for those who are left behind.

T3HL.The weather last week was rather ! remarkable for the season of the year, the | mountains having been covered with | snow on Wednesday morning.

Adjourned Court. —The court met. on Tuesday of last week for the purpose of hearing license applications, and all were granted except the following: Ilummel's, Decatur; Miller and Vanzandt continued to August term; Mrs. Ilusli, held over for consideration. In the ease of Simon Yeager, the court gave him the lightest sentence the law allowed, to wit, $lO fine and ten days im prisonment in each case. Something Strange.— Being much troubled with dyspepsia, and yet I have a never | failing appetite for greenbacks, therefore, this week I've opened another lot of Oil Cloths —Floor, Table and Stair — some beautiful patterns at reduced price; also, a few new style paper Window Shades, and you had better come and select a Tea Tray or Waiter while stock is good, j in fact, 'tis too large, pressing sale of them this week, look for a bargain, and I offer you now, fresh from the manufacturer, a lot of Tea and Dinner Bells, Tea and Ta ble Spoons and a variety of Kitchen Fix ings, and every new article the market affords in this line you'll find at the Big I Coffee Pot Sign. The Broad Top Eailroad.—The control lers of this road, says the Bedford Inqui- : rer, have within the last six months im proved it very much. All the old trestle have been superceded by new and splend id materials, while many other improve ments have been made. The Broad Top road is one of the safest in the State. It has a less number of accidents recorded than any other line of the same length reported, while the care and attention of its officers to the comforts of the traveling public speak in the most favorable terms. We do not think that any one will hesi tate to pronounce the most favorable opin ion of the substantial condition of the road who will take the pains to inquire j or to investigate. We do not know of a single accident which has resulted from J pure negligence of its employees or the j inefficiency of the material used in its construction, though it has been in exis- ! tenee for ten years. The visitors to the Bedford Springs will find this road per fectly safe and in a very good condition. If you wish to save money, go to S. J. Brisbin's, near the jail, to buy goods. 1 He has just returned from the East and opened out a fine assortment of Dry Goods, Groceries, Queens ware, &c., &e., which lie is selling very cheap. ----- - For the Gazette.
