This is the largest output, by many thousand tons, of any other five ton plant in the world, and reflects the greatest credit upon the management of that industry. Mr. S. C. King, elected Sheriff of Mc Kean county last fall, is sad. It ha? just Koen disnovered that there was no le?al election for Sheriff, as the term of the pres ent Sheriff appointed by the Governor to fill a vacancy docs not expiro until the end of the Legislature. During the past season, says the Williams port Gazette and Bulletin, over 1,720 car loads of potatoes passed over the Northern Central Railroad, eastward.

Meyers, to convene at Harrisburg on Wednesday, the 19th inst., in the Senate Committee rooms of the capi tal. As the inauguration of Governor Hartranft will take place on the 18th, it is believed that a large meeting of the As sociation can be obtained on the succeed ing day, which is desirable, as business of importance will be brongat up. v xaiiQ winters. r As the present mild and 'unusual weath : . : ! :i i er, for this time of year, is the universal topic of conversation, a comparison, with the mild winters of "long gone by" may not be u interesting.' : In .1172 the tempera ture was so high that leaves came out on the trees in January, and birds hatched their broods in February. In 1289 the weather was equally mild, and the maidens of Cologne wore wreaths of violets and corn flowers at Christmas and on Twelfth day. In 1421 the trees flowered in the month of March, and the vines in the month of April. Charries ripened in the same month, and grapes appeared in May. In 1572 the trees were covered with leaves in January, and the birds hatched their young ones in February, as in 1172; in 15S5 the same thing was repeated, and it is added that the corn was in the ear at Easter. There was'in France neither snow or frost throughout the winters of 1538, 1607, 1609, 1617 and 1669 ; finally, in 1662, even in the north of Germany, the stoves were not lighted, and trees flowered in February. Coming to latter dates, the winter of 1846-47, when it thundered at Paris on the 28th of Jan uary, and that of 1866, the year of the great inundation of the Seine, may be men tioned as exceptionally mild. Some business. The movement of freight cars to and from Indiapapolis, last year, was 569,084, of which 401,252 were load ed, representing 4,012,520 tons of freight, and reaching in a straight line, 3,233 miles. Last Monday George Spencer, in a scuffle with Harriet McRes, at Little Rock, Ark., seized her by the hair and broke her neck across the back of a chair in which she was sitting. She died Sunday night. Spencer'was arrested. . Mr. Joseph C. Lichty, ot Milford town ship, Somerset county, is the champion butter maker. He sold seven hundred and five pounds of the article, which was made from the milk of three cows, during eleven months. This, added to the amount used in his own family, which was about six pounds per month, will show an extraor dinary yield. Real estate is very dull in Philadelphia, except in the neighborhood of a few favor ed localities. Dwellings do not pay, on an average, more than five per cent., and in many cases not over two or three per cent. New buildings are still being erected in all parts of the city, however, in anticipation of a better and more remunerative market in the near future. At the Bethleh em, Pa., Steel Works, on the night turn, December 31, 1875, and January 1, 1876, there wa3 blown at the Bethlehem Irom Company's Bessemer in dustry what is believad to be the largest heat of steel ever made in that region of country. This hest was the first in the new year, and weighed in steel ingots eighteen thousand five hundred and fifty lOjODU) pounds. Ihis was blown in an or dinary "five and a half tons," vessels ; the blast pressure was twenty-four pounds, and the "blow occupied twenty-one min utes. This has been named by the em- ployees the "Centennial blow. The Rev. Mr. Glendennin' late of Jcr scy City, and of unwholesome notoriety, has not found a bed of roses in his new field, Henry, 111.

Steps have been taken also to form a Union Church in the community of all persons disposed, and to 1 a employ an independent preacher. A remarkable family reunion took place at Alburtison Friday. A Mr. John Loehr, aged eighty-eight, his wife aged eighty- tour, and children ranging from forty-four to fifty years of age, met together. A lo cal paper says: "Mr. and Mrs. Loehr have lived together as woman and wife for sixty- three years, lhey have five children, twenty-six grand children, and eighteen great-grand children. Considering their great age they are both very smart, being able to attend to themselves. The occupa tion of Mr. Loehr for almost thirty-five years was that of school teacher and choir leader in Mt. Bethel, Plainficld and Moore townships, Northampton county, and he is at the present day known among the oldest inhabitants of those townships as 'Schul meister Loehr. This is the first time that all his children have been together for twenty-seven years and the reunion was a most joyous event." At a call of a number of county treas urers of the State, a meeting was held at the Capital, on the 30th of December, for the purpose of having the constitutionality of their holding over an additional year tested. In fifty-four counties, treasurers are elected to take the place of those who hare only served two years. The main point seems to be that the adoption of the new Constitution repealed the old one, and coming in under the new they are entitled to its provisions, hence he ought to serve another year, and in order to have a speedy settlement of the matter, the meeting had agreed to support Herman Noss, treasurer of York county, in contesting the question in that county, and carrying it up to the Supreme Court this month. Miss Lavina Mast, daughter of Mr. John M. Mast, a wealthy farmer of Caernavon township, Berks county, was married re cently to a young farmer of the same town ship. There were thirty-six carriages and about 125 persons present. The bill of fare consisted of eight large roasted tur keys, four boiled hams, forty pounds of choice beef, seventeen pound cakes, twenty-two sponge cakes, small cakes by the basketful, two hundred pies of various kinds, twenty-five pounds of coffee prepared, and twenty-five bottles of sparkling wine, with many other articles. Many of the guests repaired to the large barn floor, which was lighted up, and "plume-sock" and other games were played all night. Talk about your city or town weddings, costly bridal presents, girls dressed in rust ling silks, and dandified young men with their hair parted in the middle, after read-irj- tbe above.

Ho has al ways been a moderate liver, and uses no tobacco, which is an ariruument acrainst to bacco users, but his wife has been a steady smoker tor sixty years, . which is an argu ment in favor of tobacco. The case of C. K. Landis, who shot Car ruth, the Vineland (N. J.) editor, is now under investigation, and from present ap pearances there will be a lively fight be tween the doctors, as it is claimed that Carruth died from the effects of probers in troduced into the, wound in his head, and not from the pistol shot. It is stated that over 13,000 tracts of land, embracing 2,500,000 acres, remain unpatented in Pennsylvania, upon which there is due the Commonwealth three quarters of a million dollars. This means that the occupants of said land, who have a possessory title merely, have never taken out a proper title-paper from the Land Of fice. Special ZLSTotice. See what Messrs.

It soo)i restore tfllU Wvi- color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, hilling hair didced, and baldness often, though nt :iJV:y. cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where trie loilicies are de stroyed, or the glands atrophu-d ami decayed; but such as remain can saved by this application, and stimu lated into activity, so that a new jrrowth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous Its occasional use will prevent the hair' from turning gray or fulling olf, an I consequently prevent baldness. Thef restoration of vitality it gives to tin' scalp arrests and prevents the forma tion, of dandrulf, which h often so un--cleanly and offensive. Free from th'omr deleterious substances which make" some preparations dang"rous and inju rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. Tf wanted merely for a HAUL DRESSING, uothing else can be found desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it dop.T not soil white cambric, and yet last long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, For Diseases of the Throat end Lungs', such as Coushs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronchi ti 3, Asthma, and Consumption. Anion the grcp.9 li.coveries of modern science, few arc of more renl value to' mankind than tills ef fectual remedy for all dica?es of the Throat and Lung. A vast trial of its virtiios, throughout th'n and other countries, ha shown that it docs' surelv and eR'ectua'.ir control them. The testimony of our best citi zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that Ciierrt Pectoral will and does relieve and cure the afflicting disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any other medicine. The mot dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs riold to its power; and cases of t'onsumpJ tion, cured by this preparation, arc public ly known,- so remarkable as hardly to be be lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute. As ft remedy it is adequate, on which tho pubjux may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs the forerunners of more serious disease, it save unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con vinces tho most sceptical. Kvery family should keep it on hand as a protection against the early and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections, which arc easily met at fir.-t, but which beconir incurable, and too often' fatal, if neglected. Ten der lungs need this defence;' and it is unwise to be without it. As a safeguard to Children,- amid the distressing dieaos which beset tho Throat and Chest of childhood, Cherry Pectoral U invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi tudes are rescued from premature graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them.
