Considering the population of Miftiiu
county, there is probably no paper in the
State with so large a circulation as the
Gazette, and as our own expenses are all
cash, it follows that we can not, and do
not pretend, io furnish it on indefinite
credit; in truth we have serious thoughts
of commencing the next yearon the CASH
principle and discontinuing every paper

Sad Case of Drowning.—A little boy
named Robert Chester, son of Nathaniel,
aired five or six years, was drowned in
Kiskacoquillas creek on Monday after
noon. He had been seen playing among
s me boats moored there, and no doubt
foil in the water unobserved. He was not
missed for several hours, when his body
was dragged for and recovered near where
he must have fallen in.
Miltonian Tableaux.—These magnificent
paintings which were exhibited in this
place several evenings last week to crowd

As they are both members of tiie Press

them a helping hand toward crowded au

Attempted Celebration.—The democracy
of Brown township determined to get up
a celebration in honor of-—of—well nobody
seemed to know of what—on Friday even
ing last, in which an illumination, torch
light procession, and we don't know what
ali, were to figure, but proved a miserable
failure. The Burns Band had been invi
ted at a big figure, and they repaired to
Reedsville brimful of music and hopes of
good cheer; but on arriving there, were
rather taken aback by the total want of
arrangements made. They however fa
vored tiie citizens with a variety of good
music, for which some republicans paid,
and subsequently members of the same
party, if we are correctly informed, fur
nished them with a supper. The cops so
badly provided for the musicians, that
Home of them tramped home on foot,
while others remained till next morning.
4Ve suspect there will i>e sonic trouble to
get the Baud to another Brown township
celebration.
Indian Summer. —During the past few
weeks we have had that most delightful
of all seasons of the year generally known
as Indian Summer. It was not, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, on the bare Wes
tern plains, and by their turbid rivers that
lc so christened it, but here on the Atlan
tic slope where we arc living, by brighter
streams and nobler forests. The Leni
Lenape, whom our Swedish, Dutch and
English forefathers found on the shore
of the Delaware, and other rivers, loved
this season, and called it summer, becaust
the landscapes were now more beautiful;
it was the season of successful hunting;
of hazily invigorating atmospheres befit
ting the Indian nature, and the corn-fields
which were the only harvests of that
pleasantly idling race were now ripe in
the car and yellow in the leaf. The win
ter was secured; the full gratitude of sum
mer was come. Ho upon our broad placid
river, the canoe lay in the smoky light
making a dreamy shadow. The marshes
were alive with birds, whoso plumages
Were like the stained stalks and leaves,
and id! the horizons were crimson. Na
ture wore the Indian feathers; Iter face
Was painted; her blood was very ripe.
'1 he squaw gathered thesumach Iter "ies
for her dark hair, and all the nut trees
opened their pods and filled the mats and
La-kets of her red skinned boys. The
air was full of floating seeds, sown with a
lavish, leisurely hand, and the sunsets
seemed to have been trailed in the deep
vermilion foliages of the oaks, and looked
their last aflame. The Indian has gone
fioin our creeks, but his summer lives
upon the fields and streams, like his most
Dvid memory. The transparent haze
v. ears a pensive veil as for his sake, and
tne streams seem to laek his shadow; but
i! ' the ash tree's straight shuft we recall
hi- -tature, and the grand oaks wear his
Warrior's paint. All the shocks of corn
•'•land still, like his wigwams, and the
fowlers coming home with robins, quails
tool rabbits are tanned and indolent as he.
h'n is the season* for slimmer strolling;
fi'e wood paths are full of leaves; a dead
ripeness is the complexion of the world.
■n the winds will rise vhi teaud wrath
'* . like the coming of our own forc
u'bers, and a frost as cold as our eoldei
t'-i eri-s will strike llto landscapes her<
<e.'l drive awav, as we drove the In-
thy Indian summer.

possesses more desirable and less objec

market. It restores gray or faded hair to
its original color in a most remarkable
manner, and by its invigorating and
soothing properties removes all dandrutl'
and humors from the scalp. Give it a
fair trial and you cannot fail to lik it.

C'UI. PEPPER C. 11., V.Y.,
October ISth, 1867.
Mr. Editor:—A recent em grant to Vir
ginia, I feel myself so thoroughly pleased
with the country that I cannot forbear
addressing, through your valuable paper,
a few wordsto my old friends and acquain
tances in little Miftiin, relative to the
inducements now ottered to Pennsylvan
ians to emigrate to this State, and more
especially to that particular part lying
between tbe tide water line and the Blue
Ridge, known far and wide as the Pied
mont region; a section of country unsur
passed lor tbe variety and productiveness
of its soil, the beauty of its scenery, and
the hospitality of its people. And just
here let me say that, travel where he may,
a northern man will nowhere meet with
a more cordial welcome than is ex'.ended
by the Piedmonteseof Virginia. Known
to be a Republican, and almost always in
troduced as a "Yankee lieutenant," I have
never been more kindly received, or more
hospitably entertained than by these peo
ple. And strange as it may seem, those
who fought hardest, suffered most, and
rea| icd the least reward, are the most
friendly now. I have since coming here
repeatedly met men with whom we have
had many a long and bloody encounter,
and to a man, after a short talk about
matters and things, they will say, "Well,
you whipped us fairly, sure enough, so
let us be friends"; and thereupon wc
strike bands, and in future ignore all dif
ferences. Stretching from the Blue
Ridge eastward, an average distance of
eighty miles, with numberless streams on
their way from the mountains to the sea,
irrigating and beautifying it; possessing a
climate excelled by none, and a fertility
of soil almost incredible, a gradual slope
toward the southeast, giving the i est pos
sible exposure- offering <d'i the varieties of
high and low, rolling and level, cleared
and wooded lands, lies the Piedmont re
gion of Va., the home of Madison, Mon
roe, and Jefferson, tbe seat of learning
and reiiueuiuiit, the pride of tbe "old Do
minion."
Tbe large planters, left moneyless and
disheartened by the war, are anxious to
sell tlu-ir lands, and olfe-r them at prices
merely nominal, when all things arc fair
ly considered. Farms which arc cleared
and in cultivation, yielding averagecrops
of from 30 to 30 bushels of wheat, and
from 40 to (>0 bushels of corn per acre;
<> its, grass, &r. , in proportion; with south
eastern exposure; well watered by run
ning streams; lying in a country adjacent
to the best markets; with abundant rail
and water transpoilatino; where fevers
and epidemics are unknown, churches
and schools plentifully abound, and tbe
best society exi-ls, are certainly nominal
in price when offered at from lit to 40dol
lars per acre, varying with location and
improvements. For fruit and grapes it is
unsurpassed, and finer apples and peach
es are not to lie found than grow here.
What do you think of apples weighing a
pound and a half. And one was present
ed to a brother editor of yours in Char
lottsville, weighing twenty-eight ounces.
The climate is so mild that stock needs
little or no shelter, and requires to be fed
but three months in the year tbe severest
winters, while farmers are able to work
their lands an average of ten mouths in
the year, and can consequently do a great
deal more work with tbesanie teams than
in Pennsylvania. Why any one should
go off to the far West, when this country
offers all the inducements in the shape of
cheap lands which are offered there with
out any of its serious drawbacks, thin
population, ten-mile neighbors, Indians,
lack of wood, schools, churches, and pub
lic improvements, I can't understand; un
less it is that they don't know of, or can't
appreciate tin? advantages offered by the
Piedmont Beginti of Virginia. If they
would but come down here and see for
themselves, I know they would he pleas
ed. This whole region is traversed by
tin? Orange and Alexandria Railroad, so
that it is easily accessible from Washing
ton; and though but little of it is to lie
seen from the railroad by stopping off at
Culpepper 11. or at (Jharlottsville, any
one. can readily be convinced of the truth
of my statements. Already a large num
ber of Peiiusylvanhui i have purchased
and are settling here and we shall lie glad
to see more of them come down here to
keep us company.

iSTOVES! STOVES! STOVES!
VLTi the iniportnnt Stove Improvements
of the age can now be found at the Big
Coffee Pot Sign. By looking over our
i you can see that we have all the latest and
l choicest stove# of the dav.
1 lie latest and first Cookstove we bring to
: your notice is
*P T\ Ci TT T, L /■* ■">
\jr UP dim + W i,'o ?
j Extra heavy a- d large. The oven in num
ber 7 is as large as number 8 of any other
; stove, and it has no projection or low place
! in the front part of oven: it has also a revol
ving top. by which means you can move
your pots or boiler off or over the fire with
out lifting them, and thereby prevent the es-
I cape of either gas or smoke in the room.
But the greatest stove of the day, on no
count of the uiuny conveniences, is James
I Spear's
ANTI DUST, GAS BURNER
Cooking Stove,
which is preferred even before a range. You
I can have, by the hot water attacl ment, hot
and cold water up stairs; it also separates the
oiiburiu coal from the ashes without dust or
dirt in the house; the centre plates are all
double, with the air passing through them; it
is a perfect baker, and a tip top stove in eve
ry respect.
Our next Cook is the REGULATOR,
plain top. with feeder front. Ibis is the
same as the other except the top.
And last, but not least, is the
COMBINATION COOK,
a stov 4 that we have been selling for six
years, and the sale of them is increasing ev
ery day. 'Tis a stove we put against the
world for baking purposes; it takes hut little
fuel, and is a plain, substantial stove,

Almost everybody has heard of Jan. Spear's
ANTI DUST, GAS-BURNER, PAR
LOR STOVES.
For beauty, economy, and durability they
stand second to none, and for cleanliness
there is none to equal thein; they only need
to be seen to be appreciated. We have also
Spear's Anti Dust Parlor EGG STOVE, just
new, and pretty.
And we have the stoves that we suppose
are going to 6et the world on fire, — the

AND THE ORIENTAL HEATER
Our stork of STORE and OFFICE STOVES
is complete—new pattern, wood, etc., —and
in order that everybody can have a stove, we
Jure now manufacturing out of genuine Rus
sia Iron a new PARLOR GAS BURNER
I stove, called the HON TON; and to all those
j who wish to heat an upper and lower room
with one stove, I would say, cail and see J.
■ IKVIN W ALMS'S
Parlor Heater.
I have now improved and completed tny
I Parlor Heater. With this stove you can per
i fectly heat up and down stairs at will, and
their cost is r.ot one third that of any other
i Heater. There is no mistake about it, and 1
ask no pay until you are perfectly satisfied it
will do as represented. And since lam de
termined to render satisfaction to all my cus
tomers. I have brought from Philadelphia
j one of the mechanics in the country, and
I we intend this season to give special atten
1 tion to furnishing off and putting op all cur
: stoves. We have been compelled, in order to
I supply the increasing demand for our stoves,
| to lease another building, on Brown street,
in which w- have a large stock of fcT'OVES.

I large stock of
