and it makes the remarkable offer of any

somely illustrated and bound duodecimo, to
anybody who will subscribe and send the
regular Three Dollars subscription, This is
equivalent to offering the paper for a dollar
and a half. Everybody wants some volume

Melvln Gardner Is said to have
killed fourteen deer In ten days the
present season.
Last Saturday night was a hard one
on house plants. Nearly all the plants
iu town were frozen.
The salaries of school teachers in
Carbondale have been reduced 20 per
cent. Questionable economy.
The Commissioners have issued
their warrants to the Assessors who
will soon comence taking the assess
ment of the county.
The proposition to reduce the
salaries of the municipal officers of
Reading was rejected by the City
Council by a vote of fifteen to
eighteen.
More deer have been killed this
season than in any one season before
and fears are entertained that the deer
will be driven from the country soon
unless some law is passed to reach the
case- It would be a shame to have
the deer driven from the woods, and
we hope some action will bo taken to
prevent the wholesalo slaughter that
is now going on.
C. V. Gillis, O. B. Fitch, Geo. R.
Woodward, Phllo Chrlsler, John
O'Conner, and H. A. Head, formed a
hunting party which claim to have
done some tall hunting on Mill Creek,
from Tuesday, Nov. 28th, until,
Friday Dec. 8th, ten days. The last
deer was killed on Monday, Dec. 4th,
after which time the party were en
gaged "backing lu" the deer killed.
Twenty-three deer were killed alto
gether, and this is claimed to be the
largest number killed by any one
party this year, in the same time.
Capt. Fred. Schocuing's youngest
child, and only son, about two years
ofage, died on Friday evening lust.
Dec, 8th 1876, and was burried on
Monday morning last tt St. Mary's.
The child died of diphtheria- and is
the third child the Captain has lost
within three or four weeks. His re
maining child is sick but hopes are
entertained that it will recover. Mrs.
Schocning is also sick with typhoid
fever. Wc in common with the
whole community, extend our heart
felt sympathies to Captain Schoening
in his terrible affliction
Holes' Patent Chronometer Escapement.
On the 2d Instant a patent was
granted to our townsman Chas. Holes,
for an improvement in escapements
for chronometers, watches, &c. The
patent is owned by Mr. Holes and
Geo. A. Rathbun jointly, and was ob
tained by E. R. McKean, Esq., of
Washington, D. C, who prepared all
the papers. Only seventeen days
elapsed between the filing of the ap
plication and allowance.
It is not expected that the new in
vention will cheapen watches, but it
is claimed that the friction of the es
capement is reduced to the smallest
amount and is always the same, and
that less mainspring power will be re

- Tuk News without Poison. The New
York Observer claims to publish the
best family newspaper, and repudiates
all unsound or objectionable teaching.
Even its advertising columns are free
from all quackery and dangerous ad
vertisements; and the whole paper,
both in its religious and its secular de
partment, is filled with pure and en
tertaining reading. While we com
mend the position of the Observer in
this matter, we also heartily endorse it
as one or the most ttesirafie peri
odicals for any household. The price,
$3,15 a year post-paid, can hardly be
made to return as much good, spent
in any other Way. S. I. Prime t- Co.,

On Wednesday, last, the Electoral
Colleges, of the several states, met,
and cast their votes. Hayes A Wheeler
received 185 and Tildcn & Hendricks
184 votes. The states of South Caro
lina, Louisiana Oregon, and Florida
each send two sets of returns. Tlie
action of Governor Grover, of Oregon,
in giving the certificate to a Democratic
elector, by reason of a Republican
elector holding a postofftVe, and being
therefore ineligible, is held on all
lianas to be entirely outside the (.inv
entor's legitimate business, as he is
simply acting In a ministerial, and
not judicial, way. The Governor on
the other hand claims that he acted in
accordance with the Constitution of
the United States which he claims is
the paramount law in the case of elec
tors. Congress has appointed investi
gating committees in Mouth Carolina,
.Louisiana, ana rionaa, wnicu com
mittees, composed as they are of a ma
jority of Democrats, will report fraud
and declare Louisana and Florida
honestly for Tilden. And then we
will see what we will gee.
