Price of Wood.' • Wood has been in demand at $2 a cord, but the result of the election and the cer tainty of what necessarily follows has put the price up 'from 25 to 50 cts. We used to get a cord and a half fur our paper one year, and now we ought to have a cord. We-hope, however, that men who sell a load of wood for $2,50, won't think that $2 is too much to pay for a newspaper. Montrose Railroad. 'The examination of a route doWn the Snake' Creek, heretofore referred to in this paper, shows a possibility of building the road—an ovens, greatly advantageous to the land and business interests within tho vicinity of the route. Notice to Subscribers. •. If the present, extortionate price of paper. (28cts. a lb) continues, we shall be com pelled to raise the subscription price of the Gazette to 32,50 at least, if not $3,00 a year. .This course will be as disagree able to us, as it will be unacceptable to our readers, but, positive necessity drives us to it, When we raised our terms to $2 a rear, paper was held at 18 ets., and we dui not dream that it could go high er; as that was an advance of 125 per cent. on the old price; but since then, it has been steadily going up, until it has reached 28 cents, or 250 per cent, higher than it was in 1862 and a previous: At this rate every number of the Gazette we issue is a loss to us, which is more than we can bear. We are willing to do without pro fit while these times last, but we cannot, if we would, work at a loss ; and we feel certain that, our customers do not desire us to do so.--Reading Gazette. Salt River Trip. , Very little is sahrby shoddy about the "copperheads" being sent. up Salt River; and one may think this queer, for as "the war will end in 'sixty days,'" the" trai tors' should heThent away lest they keep the war a going by " sympathizing with therebels." But there is a powerful ob jection with knowing shoddies against sending off the "despicable traitors here in our midst." They dread several more "last drafts" for 300,000 more, and they want somebody besides "loyal men" to fill their quota. Only One Dollar. Our friends will please notice that the price of the Montrose DEMOCRAT, (until otherwise stated) will be reduced to the very low rate of ONE DOLLAR per year in advance, payable in gold, or silver coin, or biUs of specie-paying banks. :Those who prefer to pay in the common currency of the day, will be charged " two dollars ; " which are now worth about 45 cents, each, in coin—and coin is worth only its former value. This is an actual reduction of one-third from our old rates ; and we presume no one will ask us to lose more. Terms positively invariable. —The Southwark Bank, Philadelphia, and the Pittsburgh Bank, are the only ones in this State that now pay specie; and all the banks in other States, like the Government, have suspended specie pay ment till after shoddy tumbles in pieces. 4151> 410 , Court Proceedings.
