commences is to place himself beyond cure,
until the cough has run its course of about a

keeps the pores of the skin opeh and relieves

IlAmiluito, Nov. 2ftst,lB6B.
EDITOR DAILY EAGLE:—AII the creeks
have been swollen to . such a height in this
part of the country, from the recent heavy
rain storni, as to make the roads, for a day,
almost impassable, and few 'farmers more
visible on - the streets of our borough in con•
sequence, giving Co it a remarkably dull ap
pearance and a dullness to trade, not very
encouraging to our merchants who have but
lately purchased, heavily, fall and winter
goods.
The measles are raging hero to an alarni-
ing extent among. the children. At least
one half of those attending the primary de

The rolling,mill of the Hamburg Trop Co.,
which was idle for a few days, in consequence
of needed repairs, has again gone into opera
tion.
The Union Fire Co., No. 1, of this bor
ough, which has been inactive for some time,
has'again been organized, and its , ►nembers
are urged by the borough authorities to hold
regular stated meetings, they having to de
fray all expenses incurred in furnishing the
llall, fuel, light, etc.
On to-morrow evening, the members and
teachers of Emanuel. Sunday School will
hold a meeting in the basement of said
church, when questions in. relation to the
efficiency of Sabbath Schools will be,-dis
cussed, and the best methods of conducting
them.
Mr. Jonathan Grim, of Auburn, Selnlyl
kill county, purchased of Jeremiah lMitlt•
baser of Upper Bern township, this county,
a house, situated on White Oak street, this
borough, for $l,OOO.
The series of meetings being, held at the
M. Church, are largely attended by the
young people.
Now that the columns of the EAGLE hre
open to the discussion of questions relating
to schools, it is to be hoped the teachers of
this county will avail• themselves of this
generous offer. S. G. J.

THE LIERARY ROOMS are well ittb\nded at
the present time. Every evening, the tables
are sui rounded by young men and Women,
rending over some books; while others" who
are not so easily pleased, are looking over
the titles of the books on MO Alinlves, to see
it' there is anything there that will suit their
tastes. There eon lie no better plaelilor
the young to spend these long winter even
ings than in the Library Rooms, and we
hope to see then' even better attended than
they now are.
Com..--The demand for coal is sleekin g
oil a little, and the price of Stove and Egg
coal has receded, in order to keep the trade
moving. The fall in stove from the highest
point has reached nearly twO dollars a ton ;
and unless there is a reduction in the recent
advance in wanes, nt the end of the month,
caused by the advance in coal, many of our
operators la find it necessarrto suspend
operations at the close'of this month. A re
duetion in the rates a transportation ought
to take place also after this. month, as they
are higlur now, to Philadelphia than they
were during the ltebellion.--Miners Jeer.

A (InAND 81100TIND MATCII, \ for six tur
keys, took pinee at the White House yester
day afternoon. The first three turkeys re.
quire(' good marksmanship. They were put
singly in a box, so as to expose only the
head and neck as a target. Tlie others were
won alive by shooting at a piece of paste
board, with a white bull's eye in the centre.
Eyerything being prepared by our friend
Edwara A. Mass, landlord of the White
House, who is a capital host, and knows
how to make his guests enjoy themselves,
the fir ing
commenced. The distance was
sixty yards; "off hand" (without rest) with
short target rifles, carrying a small round
ball, at 25 cents a shot.
Fourteen shots were fired at the first three
turkeys before their heads were shot of The
first was won by John Undheim, the second
by Joseph Lutz, and the third by Louis
Swayno. The shooting was excellent.
The shouting
_co, a mark then took place,
in which the following marksmen, all splen
did shots, participated : Adam Hoff,'Joseph
'Lutz, Adam Faust, Joseph Schmucker, C.
W. F. Hoffeditz, Trexler, - J. Kantner,
Louis Swayne, Nelson Delany, John Ernst
and John Undheim.
The first'of the three ; remaining turkeys
was won by John Undheim, the second by
Adam Faust, the third by Nels9n,Delany.
The prizes then stood as follows: 1 .
Ist and 4th turkeys, won by John Und
heim ; 2d by Joseph Lutz; 8d by Louis
Swayno; sth by Admit Faust; oth by Nelson
Delany.
- The beat shot during the match was made
by John Undheim, the next best by Nelson
Delany, and the third best by Joseph Lutz.
Although the wind was too strong ntid fit
ful, and the light varyihg, causing most of
the shots.to go slightly to the left, the shoot
ing was excellent,
Our friend A. S. Witman, late of the
Daily Times, who acted as marker, has our
thanks for favors rendered.
