old, of the Widow SrAGUE,fell throught the ice, in the

DONATION VISIT. —The congregation
and triends of the Rev. SOLOMON COOPEK, Pastor of the
First Wes'.eyan Methodist Church propose giviving him
a Donation on Wednesday afternoon and evening. Dee
24th, at his residence, in Towanda. All are solicited to
help. The smallest favors thankfully received.
The Pennsylvania School Journal, for
December, has been received. This is an excellent work,
and should be in the hands of every teacher and school
officer in the country. TLc Journal contains recommen
dations, decisions, and explanations of the School Law,
besides other interesting matter.
DIITHF.RIA.—This terrible malady con
tinues to make luvoc all over the country. We hear of
deaths in all parts from this disease, and iu many instan
e- whole families are carried away. Mr. ADAM M ESSE it
sum!, ol Collev township, Sullivan county, lately lost
seven children—all lie had—from this disease. There are
a few cases iu this place.
SAVE YOUR HAGS —The price of piper
has ol late advanced greatly—fifty per cent.. at least
It therefore behooves all housekeepers to use more than
customary care in saving their rags. Double thequanti
ty can be saved than is usually the ease, with giving the
matter a little attention. Each family should be its own
rag picker. A dollar saved is more that two dollars earn
ed.
PROVOST MARSHAL —JAMES PHIVNEY,
Esq.. of this place, has been appointed Provost Marshal
for this county. As the duty of this officer is to arrest
all diserters, absentees from the army aho are not pro
vided with proper papers, and to " bring to time*' those
who were drafted and have not yet reported themselves,
we anticipate he will have his hands full.
Car EXTREMELY APROPOS — " ITard times
and scarcity ol money," is just now everybody's excuse
for riou payment of dues. The times must indeed be hard
to force a poor wretch to perpetrate the following

BSL. TUMBLING DOWN AGAIN. —The Phila
delpbiu l.e Iger says Petroleum oil, which rose so rapid
ly from 25 cents a gallon to $1 10, has taken the back
track again, and is down to sixty cents. The rise w.s
mostly speculative, and somebody will make or lose for.
tunes by the sudden fluctuations. And so of many of the
gambling operations in what are called the necessaries
ef life—they are not called for by the tariff, taxes, or the
war, but are simply impositions. If people would quit
buying articles at extravagant rates, they would soon be
come reasonable, and those seeking undue advantages
; would suffer the losses.
But a few weeks ago Kerosene oil rose in this mark
et from 40 cents to $1 00 per gallon, but can aow be j
bought for seven shillings. As it can be bought for lex*
than twenty cents per gallon at wholesale, the present
exorbitant prices cannot be kept up.
,
We clip the following from the Danville
Democrat. It is of importance to those interested :
Amount of internal Revenue Tax for September, 1862,
assessed in the 13th Congressional District, including the
Manufacturers' Reports :
Bradford $7,742 45
Columbia 5,204 50
Montour. 4,646 28
Wyoming 1,173 55
Sullivan 410 79
$19,177 66
According to the above statement, the annual revenue
derived from the 13th District would amount to about
$'230,000 per year—a sum that will favorably compare
with any other district in the State. This does not in
clude stamp duties.
©3L, ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE. —On Satur
day, the 6th inst., Wji. BULL, son of GEO. H. BULL, was
brought"lp>me from the army, in care of his brother .Lieut.
AATUAX BULL dead. WILLIAM enlisted over a year ago
with and since th*t time has been with the
peat army of the PotQmac, always at his post, up to
within a few days of his death. He was taken ill with
'ever and conveyed to the hospital, where he lingered
but a short time, ere death came to his relief.
WILLIE was well known to most of our citizens. Quiet
*ud unassuming in his habits, kind and moral in deport
toent.he was much loved and respected by his acquaintan
ces- He was an obedient and brave soldier, never flinch
ln" fr° ra duty, and possessed the confidence and esteem
ofhis superior officers. His Company mourn the loss of
an c * c ellent soldier, and his parents, a dutiful and affec-
W'mate son. He was, we believe, about twenty years of
Rge-
Thus stricken down in youth, what better epitaph could
be written, than that " he died in the defence of his coun
try."
B S. RUSSEI.L & Co. have now on hand
the following Revenue Stamps :—Bank checks and sight
drafts, 2 cts. ; Notes, 6, 10 and 90 cents, and $1,50 ;
Agreement or contracts, 5 cts. and 20 cts. ; Ltase, 50

Insurance, 25 cts.; Power of Attorney, 25 cts.; Probate
of Wiil or Letters of Administration, 50 cts. ; Original
process, 50 cts.
The Columbia Democrat says < "We
are very glad to observe' that the impression made by
Judge ELWELL, on the Bar and Suitors, was to the last
degree favorable. We heard from all quarters opinions
as to his legal learning, liis bearing to the Bar, his even
handed justice, his clear and comprehensive charges to
the Jury, and his prompt and ready knowledge of the
law, which were highly flattering. We trust lie will re
main with us ; for it is hardly likely that the same unan
imity and success could attend the third choice of a Judge
which have attended us in the twe elections through
which we have gone,"
GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK, for January, is
already on our table, full of handsome engravings—the
first called " The New years' Gift," which is very expres
sive. Who could refuse a gift like that ? Godey has al
so engaged Marion Harland, author of" Alone," •• Hid

the magazine for 1863. Her first ,on " Husks," ought to
be read by every one. The beginning of a new year is a
most suitable time to subscribe for the Book ; it will en

FIEF* CHRISTMAS. —There has been consider
able speculation on the part of Young America, whether
the war and the consequent hard times, and the shin
plaster curiency, have so affected their old friend SANTA
CLACS, as to cause him to " suspend." The following
despatch received by one of Old SANT'S agents, at this
place, will put our young friends at ease on that subject:
" The North wind which came down last night from Lap
land blew positively the rumored suspension of the
Christmas Saint was wholly untrue. Our informant says
he followed the universally loved old felloje into his rein
deer stable, and himself lilted the hair on the backs of
Prar.cer and Dancer, as they all breakfasted on moss and
milk, he knows of a certainty that they were in the high
est traveling condition, lie also took the liberty of feel
ing the Saint's cheeks on his way back to the house, and
of pulling his short hair. Neither the one n>r the other
was the least bit " suspended." But tbe whole sky back
of the Santa Claus mansion was suspended thick with
every conceivable thing to gladden the hearts of children.
Mr. Wind, however, seemed to feel that the Sledge was
not quite as large as that he used in late years. He ven
tured to seek by direct question a confirmation of his be
lief that the Saint was in funds, and eminently solvent.
Patting, with a gesture full of comfort and good con
science, that
—" little round belly.
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly,"
he replied : " my deposits are kept in the Bank of llu
mau Affections. No check ever drawn upon it was pro
tested for non payment. Blow to Young America to keep
its eye skinued for the 25th of December."
USa?" The day after the elect ion in New York,
a Democratic newspaper in that city covered its bulletin
board with the following announcements :
See Indiana!
See Ohio !
See Pennsylvania
Sey-mour !
A wag passing by, observed the bulletin, stepped up
to the board and wrote underneath,
SE-CESH ! !
The following exquisite gem is floating
about on the tide of journalism without the name of the
author Sparkling sentiment and real poetry, such as
tie contained in these stanzas, should not be circulated
in unclaimed parentage :
•' I burn my soul away !"
So spake the Rose, and smiled ; " within my cup
All day the sunbeams ta'l in tl tmes— all day
They drink my sweetness up."
" I sigh my soul away!"
The Lily said ; '• all night the moonbeams pale
Seal round and round us, whispering in their play
And all too tender tale !"
" I give my soul away !"
The violet said ; ttie west wind wanders on.
The north wind comes ; 1 know not what they say,
And yet my soul is gone !"
Oh. Poet, burn away
Thy fervent soul ! fond Lover at the feet
Ol her thou Invest, >igh ! dear christian pray—
And let the world be sweet!

These three young men were from Herrick, Bradford
County, Pa. In the vigor and flush of early manhood
have they fallen ! They went forth at their country's
call, burning with devotion and eager to sustain the sa
cred institutions ol their country, the integrity of the Un
ion, and to crush out, forever, this hideous rebellion ; but
in the Providence of GOD have been only permitted to
lay down their lives a sacrifice for these noble purposes ;
and while they have been taken from the field, where
they were battling for the great principles of human
rights, for the support of the Government and the salva.
tion of the Union, their example, their generous and uo
ble bearing, will long be remembered by their wide and
now deeply l afllicted circle of relatives arid friends- They
are gone. Eart 's feat sand hopes, joys and sorrows, are
forever past to them ; and yet they live on, live iu the
| hearts of their friends, and will ever live in that Eternal
j World, to which they have been so suddenly and unex
! pectedly taken. Peace to their memory ; peace to their
ashes. S. F. B.
i In Leßaysville, Bradford County,Ta.. November 21,1862,
KETURAH, wife of Rev. James Hodge.
The deceased was born in Plymouth, near Wilkes-Bar
re. Pa., April 26, 1801, and was the daughter of Col. G.
P. Ransom, who was associated with WASHINGTON in the
war of the Revolution, and spent with him some time in
his winter quarters at Valley Forge. He was afterwards
a prisoner among the Indians and British, about a year
and half. Of the early life of our lamented sister, we
; have no particulars, until she reached her nineteenth
! year, when she became the subject of converting grace,
j and united with the heroic band of persecuted Methodists
| of the Wyoming Valley. She identified her interests with
| her bereaved companion, Karch 25,1830, and distinguish
i ed herself for more than thirty years by her uniform
consistency as a disciple of CHRIST, and member of the
M. E. C., a part of the time sharing the burdens and plea
sures of the itenerancy. In her relations as wife, mother'
and friend, she had few superiors, and, as the result, was
greatly respected and beloved by all who knew her. Her
children, three sons and one daughter, conspire to embalm
her name with an almost idolatrous affection in the close
covert ot their stricken hearts, and the Church to regret
the loss of an exemplary member, and as eady attendant
upon the mCtras Of grace. For more than twenty years
She had been the subject of a lingering consumption. We
all thfflk that her death was hastened by intense gTief, on
account of two sons who, impelled by a genuine patriot
ism, had given themselves to their country as volunteers,
one of whom was taken sick, and was confined to the hos
pital. The mother's soul lingered in anxious thought
over the absent couch of CHESTER, until the heart was
burdened with a grief which none but mothers can under
stand. Only a few days of an attack of her seated dis
ease, sufficed to loosen the silver cord ; but in the midst
of dissolving Nature, she was perfectly resigned, and
happy in her Saviour's smile.
" Thus? star by star declines,
'Till all are passed away,
Nor sink those sfafs in empty night,
They hide themselves in Heaven's own light."

Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
A COMPOUND REMEDY, in wbicb w*
hare labored to produce the roost effectual altera
ire that can be made. It is a concentrated extract/ of
Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other subeteaccaot
stiff greater altera t ! ve power as to afford an effective an
tidote for the diseases Sa*saparilla is reputed to cure.. It
is believed that such a remedy is wantc J by those who,
suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to
this large class of our afflicted lellow citizens. How com
pletely this compound will do it has been proven by ex
perinent on many of the worst cases to be found of the
following complaints:—
SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS, ERUPTIONS
AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS, PIMPLES, BLOTCHES,
TUMORS, SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, SVPHILLS AND.
SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY,.
NEURALGIA OR TIC DOULOUREUX. DF.BILITY, DYSPEPSIA
AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE OR ST. ANTHONY'S
FIRE, and iDdeed the whole class of complaints arising
from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
This compound wi:l be found a great promoter of
health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu
mors which fester in the blood at that season of the reu
By the timely expulsion of them many rankliug disor
ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can by the aid
of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of
foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the
system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not as
sisted to do this through the natural channels ot the
body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated
blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through
the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when
you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins:
cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt,
people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing
the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but
with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something must go
wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or
overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has. and deserves mneb, the reputation,,
of accomplishing these ends. But the world has been
egregiously deceived by preparations of it, partly because
the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed jor
it, hut more because many preparations, pretending to be
concentrated extracts of it, contain but little of the vir
tue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.
During late years the public have been misled by large
oottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa
pari 11a for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds
upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any,
Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever..
Hence, bitter and paintul disappointment has followed
the use of the various extracts of Sar-aparilla which
flood the market, until the name its°lf is justly despised,,
and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat.
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend t
supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the
load of obloquy which rests upoh it. And we think w
have ground lor it has virtues which are ir--
resistable by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to crue. In order to secure their complete eradica
tion from the system, the remedy should be judiciously
taken according to directions on the bottle.

wherever it has been employed. As it has long been in
constant use throughout this section, we need not do
more than assure the people its quality is kept up to the
best it ever has been, and that it may lie relied on to da
for their relief all it has ever been found to do.

CAUTION.
" To be, or not to be— hat is the question 1
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition.
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink.
And opposing, end them."
THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in
tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to deiudo
the public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he
has taken great pains t satisfy the public I was the " best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lie?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, be has been th
principal. But I refer to my work during that time a
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, I have resumed business here on my own ac
count,as I know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and bawful calling for my support.—
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to iny busK
nessto give public satisfaction.
