Tomato. Cabbage and other Plants in sea

Rev. Mr. Monroe will deliver a lecture
on temperance in the M. E. Church on
Sunday evening next. A general invita
tion to attend is extended.
Brass Band. —Some of our enterprising
young men have organized a band under
the title of the "Burns Band of Lewis
town." 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.
Music.— The third quarterly session of
the Mifflin County Musical Association
will be held near Granville Station on
Tuesday afternoon next. A session will
be held in the evening also.
Information Wanted. —Washington and
Charity Black are very anxious to hear of
the whereabouts of their son John. He is
a small boy, of dark color. He was taken
away from Harrisburg by Thomas Ben
nett and S. Sanders, against bis own will
and that of his parents. When last heard
from they were about Mifflntown, Juni
ata county, working their way to F.rie,
Pa., as chimney sweeps. Any persons or
papersgivinganv information concerning
tiie boy's whereabouts, will confer agreat
favor on his distressed parents, by ad
dressing them at Harrisburg.
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.
George S. Myers, of Ferguson Val
ley. presented us the other day, with a
quantity of the largest, finest looking
Rhubarb we have seen anywhere. If
George attended market with vegetables,
&c., of such quality and size, he will not
fail to find sale for tliein.
Cheese.—F. J. Hoffman has a fine arti
cle of fresh dairy Cheese, which, with a
variety of new and cheap groceries just
opened will commend themselves to the
public.
Southern Famine Relief Fund.—'The Ex
ecutive Committee on Collections and the
Committee on Distribution of the Phila
delphia Relief Fund have determined to
organize auxiliary Associations, and ap
pointed the following committee for Mif
flin county:
Hon. ft. S. Woods, James Parker, E.
1,. Benedict, John A. Sterrett, F. G. Fran
ciious, James Burns, Joseph Alexander,
Dr. Vanvalzah, Rev. McClem, George
Frysinger, Henry Frysinger, Lewistown.
David Hough, Granville.
Rev. < ieorge Elliott, Reedsviile.
Dr. S. Maclay, Milrov.
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.
We have 21 bundles of rag Printing
Paper, of good quality, 221x321, which
will be sold at less than cost for cash.
Weight 50 lbs per bundle—price 17 cents.
T. M. Fttley, Esq., we learn was lately
appointed Borough Attorney by the cast- !
ing vote of the Burgess, and George Miller
Tax Collector in place of John Kennedy,
declined. The Borough tax for 1567, in
cluding bounty purposes, is 7 mills.
T3HL.The weather last week was rather !
remarkable for the season of the year, the |
mountains having been covered with
| snow on Wednesday morning. Rain,
with high and cold winds, prevailed for
three days, during which the Barometer
marked as low as 28 6-10 th. The streams
werehigh,butdid no damage. On the West '
Branch the canal was seriously damaged,
and on the Susquehanna boating had to
j be suspended on account of high water.
£=z>" Daniels & Stone are receiving from
Massachusetts, every day, Ladies' lion
nets, Hats and Shoes. We would call the
attention especially to their line stock of 1
Ladies' Shoes; they were bought very low
and can be sold very cheap.
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.
