Notice* of Xfw Al<- to learn them : It seems that Mr. Smith has been laboring under a mental as well as physical disorder for some time back, and on Saturday last lie < sent to the .-tore for some kind of patent medicine. After tak ing some of the med icine, he got an idea in his head that it ' i ntanied a quantity of brandy.

A Wcr.l cf Caution.—Our readers in buy ing cheap Sewing Machines, should be careful in making the selection.

Corn Planters Wanted. —The protracted rains have thrown back corn-planting in I this county; but fortunately all farmers who hand in their orders soon, at Frysin ger's Agricultural Implement Agency, can be supplied with Corn Planters or Droppers (whichever they want,) that will ! do up the work in a few days. Frysinger has the Morrison, which J scores out, plants, plasters, and covers, all at the same time, besides puttingin pump kin seeds, if desired. Also, Wanbaugh's land Heidler's, which are both old and popular machines. He has also a capital little Corn Drop per, with which one boy can drop corn in hills as fast as four men. Price only $24. Odds and Ends. Reese has refitted the Patterson House. James M'Cue, an employee on the stone wall in Jack's Narrows, fell on the rocks below while shifting a derrick, and was badly hurt.

The Miners' Journal chronicles the sinking of a house with all its contents at the foot of Mahanoy plane. It fortunate ly occurred iu day time, and no human life was lost. The rebels at Mobile got up a riot last week when Judge Kelly was speaking, ti iring which four or five persons were killed. He told them however he had the 1 >th Itegt. IT. !>. Infantry at his back and intended to talk, which lie did. Jef Davis ison his road to Canada, where lie can live in princely style on the money furnished by his dupes, or get up another rebellion. He was in New York last week, waited on by his old friends who helped him all they could to destroy our government. Six runaway boys from Philadelphia were arrested last week at Harrishurg while endeavoring to force an entrance into a car. The best cure for such chaps is to let tliem run for a while, as they soon find the difference between home and no home. The Cambria Freeman, edited by Couldn't-be-Congressm in R. L. John ston, thinks our defense of the Legisla ture a large undertaking for so small a paper. Perhaps it was—but for all that it wasn't as large as a gang of soreheads undertook at Tyrone last fall, nor half as % large as Morrell's majority. A young man named Amos Baker was lately arrested for stealing a horse from Mr. Fox of Perry county, for whom he had been working. lie is the same per son who killed his cousin about a year ago, and who after a hearing before Judge Graham, on a writ of habeas corpus, was discharged on the ground that the shoot ing was accidental. Fortune telling continues to be a thriv ing business, several parties in town be ing engaged in it, all of whom appear to he well patronized. As numbers go hack after a first visit, it is supposed to lie pro fitable on both sides. A resident of Third street says that iu nine cases out of ten, when he sees ladies rigged up and sailing out that street, he can tell their errand. Our old bread, butter and trout friend of the Hollidaysburg Standard is itching badly for a take. As soon as we hear of one that will pay his calibre we'll let him know, though as the halcyon days of de mocracy, when wood was piled up hill and the front only measured are no more, we fear his chances are slim. Vallandig hatn and Jef Davis however may be in the market, and on proper application he might perhaps get a C or even a 1). Concerning the pay of the New York Journalists, a correspondence of the Bos ton Voice says: " The Tribune employs' fifteen reporters at an average salary of $23 pi r week; the Herald twenty-three at an average of sl7 ; the Times a bitter op ponent oi workingmen's associations,) ten reporters at s2l per week average; the Sun a rampant advocate of the labor movement) five men at an average of tin tve dollars ; the Post four, at $23 aver a re: the World eight at an average of sl3; and the Express six, at an averageof nine dollars. It appears from this that the best wages are paid by republican papers —the worst by democratic. JBQy- General Sheridan has interdicted the carrying of fire-arms, except by those whose duties require them to be armed.

THEODORE FRANKS, aged 60 years, formerly of this place. In Brattou township, on the 16th May, GEORGE SETTLE, aged 43 years. For the Gazette. Southern Correspondence. KXOXVILLE, Tenn., May 15, '67. This town of Brownlow notoriety is 130 miles from the Virginia line down the| East Tenn. Valley. This valley is from I 25 to 30 miles wide, and is drained by the Chuekv, Holston, and Clinch rivers. The! upper part of the valley for a distance ot 40 miles is broken by numerous irregular! limestone ridges, between which, numer ous rapid streams dash themselves along, j offering unsurpassed inducements to the; manufacturer. Along these streams are j narrow valleys of the richest land. The ! ridges, too, are very fertile, but too steep for successful cultivation. Nowhere could the manufacturer do better than iu East Tenn. For a distance of 100 miles there j is not a single woolen factory. The spin ning wheel and the loom are yet heardin every farm house. The manufacturer of! farming implements would lie exceediug ly lucrative. Grain drills and reaping! machines are curiosities to the farmer. FARMING. r I 'uis is in a wretched and unscientific state. Plowing is done by means of a "bulltongue" or shovel plow, which mere- ! lv scrapes the surface a few inches. ( oi n is planted successively in the same field, and very often without replowing, yet an immense quantity of corn is raised.— \Y heat this year is in a very backward state, scarcely as far on as in Penn'a. J would attribute this to their time and manner of sowing. Renters can do well here. They need not pay any tax on the land and get two-thirds of all they raise. Since the negroes are liberated and fann ing stock driven away by the armies, there are thousands of acres of the very best land lying waste for want of farmers. Fanners with small capital cannot fail to do well here. Large crops of corn are put out with one yoke of small oxen. KKEEDMEN. These are the hone of contention now as much as ever, not who will get the "nigger" but whom will the " nigger" i have. Radicals and conservatives are playing tiiis game, each proving to the negro that he lias been his best friendand therefore entitled to his support at the coming election. Some freedmon are obliged to vote its their employers want them or he driven with their families from their homes. A few are too ignorant to understand the issues of the contest and are sold to the highest bidder, and judg ing from what we have seen last fall we know what party they will support. Oc casionally a colored man of influence is bought by the conservatives. In Haw kins county they gave one a house and lor wort h $750 to stump the State for them, but he was everywhere hissed and hooted by his colored brethren and obliged to de sist. They knew who their friends were in the past. Tin: REBELS. No class of men are more completely cowed down than the rebels of Tenn. Not long ago they were perfectly rampant, oiieuly avowing that, with Andy John son at their head and theconservatives in the North to assist t hem, they would soon have the negro where he was before. A second war and a certain victory were spoken of as settled facts, but thanks to the firmness of Congress and the military hill, their hopes are about as certain of being realized as that of .Satan was to re gain heaven, and like that arch rebel, they feel pretty bad, and now try to vent tln ir spleen by wishing the negro to mar ry the daughters of radicals, or else go to hades. To illustrate their animus I must relate a dialogue which occurred in my hearing the other day. Sauntering into a store while waiting tor the ears while in a com munity where nearly all were rebels, I found two very actively engaged abusing the negro and the radicals, comparing the latter with the aristocracy of the South, stating that scarcely a lady or gentleman could be found among them; that they were an inhospitable cringing set, every one working for himself. Just then came walking in one of our boys in blue from Tenn., whose homespun dress but honest heart proved him to be no aristocrat, ami taking up the conversation he replied: " You rebels were mighty hospitable as long as you could do it with other peo ple's money or other people's work. 1 be lieve in every man working for himself and I have i'ought that it might be so.— The reason you call tiie nigger a good for nothing, lazy scoundrel is because you can not get him to be your slave and let you act the lazy scoundrel, and that is what hurls you." But a short time ago such free speech would have eost this young soldier his life, but Gov. Brownlow has squads of militia stationed through the State and all is now perfectly quiet. SIGMA. HOOK NOTICES. DAVID COPPERFIKLD, the third volume of the Diamond Dickens ison our table. This is the most completely designed and delightfully executed edition of a popular series of works, intended for the family library that lias ever come from the hands of a publisher. " Pickwick," the initial of his humorous works, and still the most amusing; "Our Mutual Frien l," his la test, and by many deemed equal to his best, and " David Coppcrfield," also one of his m >st readable works, are now be fore the public in this dainty form, and their rapid sale well attests the populari ty they have achieved. The Rochester Democrat pertinently says: "A renewed circulation ami astill wider reading of Dickens cannot prove other wise than a blessing to the country ; for who shall deny that this genial novelist is not, wherever he may go, a missionary of good as well as of delight; making men and women better, whilst lie makes them smile; softening and enlarging the heart, even as he gratifies the love of humor, the sensibilities that sympathize with the pathetic, and the artistic taste that relish es pictures of homely and intensely hu man life. As the " Diamond" has thus inaugurated another conquering cam paign for the deservedly loved and popu lar gentleman of Gadshill, it merits praise for what it is as well as for what it has done. For its convenient form, its dis tinct though necessarily small type, and excellent original illustrations by Ey tinge, it merits commendation, and meets a pop ular want at a very moderate price. It is something new, beautiful, and useful like wise in the way of book-making; and by its very peculiarities is quite sure to be a favorite, no matter how many attractive rivals enter the lists with it, and win cus tomers." Every lover of Dickens should be sure to get. this edition. The illustrated vol umes are only $1.50 each, and the plain $1.21; Ticknor A Fields, Boston. T.,e American Ayrieulftrri.it for May contains, "Ailanthus; A look into the S-a; Apiary for May; Baskets for setting hens; Black Bear; Boys and Girls col umns, very' interesting; Castor oil bean culture; Cranberry culture; Dog statis tics; Farm and garden work," Ac. $1.50 per annum, in advance.
