£0- The followers of JOE MILLER are again
itmcgling for notoriety. A reverend Sccr of this persua.
,ionbasset a part the 27th of August, 1803, for the clos
in- up of creation. He proposes a world's business con
ration, to assemble soon at Cincinnati, to settle up af
fairs and arrange matters for the future.
©at, LINEN. —Companies are bcintr formed
fa vari .us parts of this State for the manufacture of lin
ts. .Many portions of Pennsylvania are well adapted for
the raising of flax, and we shall soon see linen substitut
ed fur cotton. We know of several farmers in this coun
ty who intend putting in large quantities this season.
•grTiiP late rnins nod warm weather has
ibout dissipated the snow,and filled the roads with mud
la fact
The roads are not passable,
Not even jack assat.le,
And those who travel 'em
Should turn out gravel 'em.
Kg-The scarcity of dwelling houses is a
suhjsct of serious inconvenience to many a man in thts
pirce, who must depend upon a landlord for such aecom
aodations. We have heard of several families who are
-arf.od out and must leave the houses they now occupy
■ v-the first of April, ensuing, who arc- actually unable to
procure a house.
Kg- Last week gold raised in New \ ork
toll 72per do'lar. and silver to $1 58. Considerable
sonn Were sold in this place for fl 70 It will soon go
down, and leave some of the speculators in the lurch-
Anojn as the financial measure, now on the eve of he
lag put into operation, shall have been fairly tested,
things will come back tc their proper level.
JO** FASHION. —!t will be of special inter
fi to our lady readers to know that in several large cit
ici of Esrope, the acknowledged leaders of the ton have
commenced war against the Wearing of crinoline—refus
a:? to enter the theatres where it is worn. The use of it
is England it is thought will be speedily disconntenanc
ed; and as we follow in the wake of our trans-Atianlic
belles, it must soou go out of date here.
B© \Y FARING MILITARY CLOTHi NO. —Per-
haps it ii.it generally known that ati army order is in
uistence prohibiting any citizen from wearing a United
Mites uniform no matter how he comes by it, Whether
by purchase or otherwise. Discharged soldiets httvfi a
rght to wear a uniform as a badge of honor. Tlib provost
tnars'nal is instructed to act under this order and take
from citizens any portion of the Uniform or buttons of the
United States army which tiny may wear in public. It
b well that these facts should be known.
CaT Tin: DRAFT —Excitement tnay be eX-
L" ted in all sections of the country, on the subject or a
-raft It is a forgone conclusion that for the prosecution
of the war another army must be raised, and a Very large
enc too. It is known that in May and June next, tlie
tine of the enlistment of about two-thirds of the present
'nay will have expired, and it is not supposed that a
V( ry large number of those now in the hanks will re-en
■ot. It is, therefore, probable that from three to five
bundrtd thousand men must be raised to take the place
of those legally entitled to be discharged.
SaT" The lecture before the Towanda Teru
ptrar.ee Society, on Monday evening last, by Rev. Mr.
oon, was a decided success. Notwithstanding the bad
traveling, we have seldom seen a larger and more intel
' gent audience assembled in the Court House. There
were very few vacant scats. The address was able and
to the point, and we tfust will have a beneficial effect
tpon the community. There is a wide field for opcra
:;in in this vicinity, and we trust the Temperance cause
*i'l he materially benefitted by the efforts of this Society.
fta?- A NUISANCE, — Almost every right—
LiriUty not excepted—a crowd of wculd-be young men

ltd so obstruct the side-walk that no lady can pass with
f -t being crowded off the walk and otherwise insulted,
"ills is a nuisance for Which there is a remedy, and means
should be taken for its abatement by the proper authori
ses. It would be well if parents would remember that
their sons indicate their bringing up by their conduct on

A MAN STABBED —A correspondent of
the Tunkhannock Democrat, writing from Laeeyviile, un
der date of February 17th saya : " Last week, during an
affray in D. C.Lafrance's grocery, Patrick Mahony was
stabbed by John Rought. The main cut was upon the
left aide, the knife striking the lower rib about four inch
es from the spine passing along the rib about four inch
es, then dropping below and almost cutting through the
side, leaving only the inside lining. The length of the
cut is 7J inches. There was a cut across the left hand,
about three inches long, partially severing the cord or
muscle of the second finger. There was a small gash oh
the right cheek bone, about three-fourths of an inch long.
The wounds were dressed by Drs. Thompson and Wood
house. With good luck and much care he may recover."'
—Mr. MAHONY is a resident of this county, and a man
very much respected. Thfe particulars leading to the af
ray we have not learned. The assassins, three in num
ber. were brought to this place, one day last week, and
taken before Justice Boa ART, who committed them, and
sent an escort with theiri to the Wyoming county jail.
WHAT WILL BE THE RECORD. —An ex
change, with great truth, says In the Revolutionary
struggle by which we gained our freedom,' there were two
parties in this country—Whig and Tory. Both those par
ties left a record behind them ; one left a record of self
denial, of determined and successful patriotism ; the oth
er, a record of iutriguc, malice, barbarism, and hatred of
bouutry.
In the present great rebellion, there are but tro par
ties, those in favor of the government arid those opposed
to it; and both these parties will have a record chronicled
by the faithful historian—a record that will be " seen and
read by all men."' The son of the southern sympatblier
of to-day, fifty years hence will be looked upon with as
much opprobrium find scorn as the descendents of the Re
volutionary tories were by the offspring of the patriots
who achieved our libery.
The sneaking traitor cT to-day, arid we believe t ere
are Many of them in this vicinity, are bringing disgrace
upon themselves and posterity thfougk all ages tc come.
Such is the judgment of the world.
Byg- " Omnibus qtiai prosv.nl sequinur," or
" we labor for the good of all," is the inscription on one
of the chime of bells given by Dr. J. C. Ayer &. Co. to
the city of Lowell. That favored place may have the
bells, but they cannot monopolize the Doctor's skill
which is made available by bis Cherry Pectoral and
Cathartic Pills to all alike—not only in this country but
in all countries wiieic civiiizatiou and commerce have
gone. While we admire the liberality aud taste of those
gentlemen in such a donation to their native town, we
will remind our readers of the hallowing influence a
chime of bells spreads over the wbo'e community that
hMrstliefii. They are few in this country, and their in
fluence is little knovvu, but ask the exile from liis home
in Germany. France, England, whether the chime 011
Trinity Church does not make his heart leap into his
mouth, and his eyes swim in the recollection it brings of
the solemn notes his childhood, his boyhood, aye, and
his manhood loved to hear at the soft approach of
evening in his native land.
We wish our generous townsmen whom God has blessed
with means would consider whether We too cannot add
this one more attraction to make our Children aud our
selves love dearer and stronger and longer the place we
call our home.— Jfadison. Ind. Banner.
