The Balloos Ascension at Dewakt. The
announcement of a balloou ascension by Prof.
Shearer, at DcWurt on Saturday last, drew to
gether au immciisc crowd of jcople, and the
neatly built up town of Dewart contained a
larger assemblage than ever before. The pro
gramme was tilled during the day by parades of
the Watsontown firemen and the "Rolieking
Roosters," an order that oil, 'mated in that vi
cinity. The atceusiou did not take place until
about six o'clock, aud the landlords were fortu
nate, as there were any number of candidates
present to do the treating. Aulen, of the Wat
sontown llt-cord. who boasted about going up In
the balloon to view the political field was on
hand, but somehow failed to fulfill his promises.
John kuows the art of violating promises, but
Iu this case he stated that he had a stroug pre
sentiment that ilx balloon was something like
the Democratic party. That it would "buret all
to the devil, and that be would'ut touch the
daru'd thing." The balloon was Inflated with
hot air, and about six o'clock was cut Ioobo to
asceua notwithstanding Auten's protest. When
about three hundred feet above the ground the
balloon did burst, and the Professor descended
with frightful rapidity. The Professor, however,
received no serious injury, but was forced to do
nmo tall jumping !
Anteii is reported as being very despondent ever
since the ascension, us he feels confident that its
all up with the Democratic candidates, and is re
ported to say "that the whole darn'd party will
burst, aud that he Is strongly opposed to do any
jumping to prevent the Democratic balloon from
falling upon his head." He now thinks or de
clining being a candidate for Prolhonotary iu
favor of his brother, aud is willing to sacrifice
all his relutions ia balloon, if that will save
the Democratic party from bursting.
BAl'Tisv. Ou Siuuday morning last, auont 9
o'clock, we, with others, repaired to the Sbamo
kin creek, to witness a baptism of two persons
(man and wire). The ceremony oi Daptism
took place opposite the fair grounds, and was
truly a solemn sceue. Abjut a dozeii or more
persons were present. The day was delight
ful, aud as the little group gathered at the wa
ter's edge, aud began to siug :
"Shall we gather at the river
That flows by the throne of God."
Every one present was impressed with the
solemnity of the occasion. ARcr singiug a hymn
the Rev. Mr. Wheat, of the Baptist church,
knc:led on the sand at the water's edge, aud of
fered ut n fervent prayer tothe Throne of Grace.
This scene brought to our recol'.ectiou the scrip
tural accouut of the apostles who prayed Upon
j the sand of the deserts. The scenery around the
spot never looked more delightful. hile the
sun was shedding his hot rays upou the uncover
ed heads, the rippUug waters llawcd quietly down
the stream, aud the shade from trees added fresh
ness to the scene, as the sound of the words
from the lips of the pastor ascended to the skies.
The husband was first led into the water and
immersed, then followed hiB partner in life, and
as they met, after being baptised iu the railh for
the remission of sins, tlyy embraced each other
with that love of heart that none but a true
christian can feel. Every one who wituessed
the solemn ceremony, aud many with tears trick
ling down their cheeks, felt that the spirit of Him
who reigns supreme, was present with the little
group that had gathered to witness the conresslon
of faith in Christ, as the Sou of the living God,
by two who are united on earth and desire ta be
united in heaven.

I Accident at Cattawissa. Ou S'cdue6day
j Dr. William Robbius, of Catawissa, while iu the
I net of jumping from a train at Rupert, whither
ie i,ad gone to attend a pic-nic, fell on the track,

lB - On last Friday wh.lst playing base ball he
had the misfortune of breaking a small bone in
one of his feet, which is supposed was the cause
of this last accident, the weak foot glvin
way
throwing him on the truck. It is thought that
one of his feet will have to be amputated.
We noticed lately in Williamsport that per
sons having lawns attached to their residences
have the grass mown every few weeks, aud the
city authorities have their parks and public
places neatly cleaned and the grass mown regu
larly, making it look beautiful. Our borough
Dads believe in the old mode of keeping down the
grass, and therefore keep the gates dowu at tho
park to allow cows to enter and eat it off. It is
no doubt the cheapest plan, and we have been
looking Tor the Lsuing of a patent from the
patcut office to prevent others from adopting
their plan.
New Coal Mines. We were shown a speci
men of coal discovered ou some land In Virginia,
which some gentlemen are about to develop or
making.cffoits for that purpose. We examined
the specimen left In our office by C. A. Rcimen
snyder. Esq., and would say if the day of judg
meut was near at hand, and the world was to be
destroyed by fire, we would advise Mr. R. to
take refuge on one of the largest of these so
called coal mines as the salest place from the
effects of fire.

Ax Irishman calling himself Daniel Martin,
apparently so inebriated that he knew not what
he was doing, on Saturday drove off with a horse
and buggy from Dewart belonging to Amos
Maul. The rig was taken from the many there
congregated on account of the balloon ascension.
The fellow drove up the back road till near
Muncy, when, taming off, he struck the State
road, and agaiu came southward, passing Dew
art without detection, although the horse aud
buggy were missed and chase was given np the
back road. At the point whcie he turned off
and returned by the State road his track was not
clearly describable, although the chnse was con
tinued up the river. The fellow's return by an
other road might be considered an adroit dodtre
to evade pursuit if he had not cooly drove np to
a hotel in Wutsoutown and ordered the animal
to be fed. Here tlie horse was recognized as the
missing one bv a person returning from Dewart
and Martin was arrested. He didn't appear to
know how he came in possession of the horse
and buggy, but whether his inebriucy was as
sumed or not has tot yet trauspired. He was
brought down to jail the same night by Consta
ble Crossly aud a Mr. Claxtou. Ou his person
nothing was found but a few shoemaker tools,
which give plausibility to his story that became
to this section to get work at the Watsontown
6hoe factory. He claims to hail from Massa
chusetts. Daily.
A terkiw.e casualty, resulting iu the death of
a faithful employee, occurred on one of the saw
mills, on Tuesday of this week. Mr. Wm. E.
Reedy had just put on a uev twelve iucb emery
wheel. The wheel wa6 being started, Mr. Reedy
having his back to it" putting on a connecting
belt. He was in the act or turning around,
when the whrcl burst with tremendous force,
ouc piece of it, weighing about three pounds,
striking Reedy on the breast and the jaw, pene
trating the lungs and breaking the iormer in two
places, nc was taken to his home, and despite
the efforts of our best physicians, died in abput
two hours. Mr. Reedy had been engineer at the
mill for about Cftteu years, was an excellent
mechanic, and was highly respected by all who
knew him. He leaves a wife and two children
to mourn his untimely death. His funeral took
place on Thursday, at 2 P. M., uud was largely
attended by citizens, the Masonic fraternity, Odd
Fellows and Camerou Fire Company, ho having
bceu a member of these organizations. A num
ber of his fraternal brethren from MiOiinburg
were in attendance. The procession was long
and the ceremonies were very impressive. Mr.
Reedy was iu his SUd year. Iribvrg Chroni
cle. We were presented last week with a copy of
the "Apostolic Succession," a pamphlet written
by our townsman, the Rev. C S. Gearharu, A.
M. The contents are very interesting to those
who devote much of their time to theological
subjects, but to an editor who is struggling to
make both ends meet by catering for the worldly
sinner aud publican as well as the christian, it
Is a dry subject. As the woik is a subject for
discussion on the history of ordination of minis
ters in the Episcopal church and ministers of
other churches, we would recommend every one
iulerestcd to procure a copy of the work at Mrs.
Hazletine's store and give it a careful perusal.
As for ourselves, like our neighbor of the Gaztttt,
we feel more interest Just uow iu matters that
will assist in paying our debts aud keeping body
and soul together. The work is well written,
and is a credit to Its nutbor, and is worthy of
perusal by all interested ou this important sub
ject. At a moetiug of the Presbyterian coi.gregation
held ou Tuesday night of last week to take ac
tion in regard to the acceptation of the resigna
tion of the Pastor S. J. Milliken, J. J. Keimen
euyder, Esq.. was elected President, and L.
Dewart, Secretary. The congiegalion, by a vote
of 45 to 12, adopted a resolution not to accept
the resignation. Dr. W. W. Moody, was elected
delegate to accompany one of the Elders as reprc
scLtative ot the Church, at the next Presbytery.
Ttie folltnrln resolutions offered by Geo. B.
Relmcnf nyder, Esq., were passed by a unanimous
vote :
Whereas, Our beloved Pastor, Rev. S. J.
Milliken, has givcu notice of his design to sever
the pastoral relations existing between him and
this Church and Congregation for the last five
years, we think tb occasion aemands that we
briefly express onr views and feelings. There
fore be It , ,
Resolved, Thnt H afforda us pleasure to dc
.i ,w mM bl, earnest, pious, and faith
ful Minister of the Gospel, he has always to the
fullest extent possible, discharged the duties of
his sacred and responsible office.
Resolved, Thnt wc greatly deplore his inten
tion to resigu ; aud iu the event of his severing
his relations with us as our pastor, we will not
only part with him with sorrow aud regret, but
as Iron: a dear friend, whom we will follow with
kind memories and earnest prayers, whose ear
nest and faithful labors for the glory or God
aud the salvation or 6ouIs, we shall not cease to
remember, and whose reward we sincerely be
lieve, will be among those who "shall shine as
i the brightness of the hrmanenl aud as tue stars

Tun Rev. Dk. Wheat. ihere are tew men
who arc more dcaerviug of a passing notice than
the Rev. A. C. Wheat, who has resided iu our
midst but a few years. He entered our town
quietly, and for a long time was scarcely known
outside of a circle of a few. But as good actious
can never be kept concealed, his mauy good
dcecU were brought prominently before a grate
ful public. Ever since he has become a resideut
of this place, he has been engaged iu administer
ing to the wants of the afllicled both iu body
and soul. Being a practicing physician, he de
votes the greater part or his time to administer
ing to the poor who are uuable to pay. Ou
Sabbath days he fills the pulpit in the Baptist
church, and has built up a large congregation
by perseverance and hard labor In the ministry.
Discontented. In every city, town and Ml
lage are to be round, at regular hours, on loaf
ers' corners, a Tew seedy, sournnd dilapidate old
gasometers forever breathing out blue blaze uud
fiery anathemas at everything in general and
mo things in particular. They hale everybody;
hate those more prosperous than themselves,
aud manifest unuterable contempt for thoso who
arc poorer. Thev are rarely, if ever, seen In
church ; throw cold water upon all public enter
prises ; say hard things of their neighbors ; criti
cise the pieacher, and make themselves general
bores to the community, and canker worms upon
its prosperity. A post mortem examination
would reveal the fact that their hearts were
black with poison, and that their souls, even in
life, had cxerienccd the scorchings of that "fer
vent heat" wuich awaitea tucm. ct.

The Lumber Trade. The situation lu this
citr is anything but cheering. The mills, or the
great majority of them, have shnt down, the
boom is empty, and nothing short or a uoou
will give employment to nearly ouc thousand
men, now idle.
The amount of lumber shipped from this city
during the month of June foots np 14,875,510
feet. The shipments would have been larger
had it not been for nbrcak in the canal, which
Interfered with navigation for about one week.
So far this year 08,055,874 feet have been for.
warded. WiUiainyort Sunday Time.
We notice that M essrs. Simon & Oppciihcimer,
have put np a neat business sign, on the corner j
of Market and Third streets. If those persons
seeing the sign will just walk inside their store
room, they will find what It indicates, that
clothing of every description is kept by themi
and sold lower than any where else in the coun
ty. The handsome editor of tho Danville American,
Dr. "Bradley, gets off the following true hit at our
neighbor of the Gazette :
"John Youngman of the Snnbury f7;e Is
getting handsomer lookiug every day, and be
is not a whit less the genial, hapry John. It
doesn't make him 'stuck up' to be handsome.
We have an Idea that John excels the Doctor
in personal beauty, even without thO fascinating
military whiM:ers.
Mb. Boosb has retired from the publication of
the Sunbury Daily, and is succeeded by J. E.
Eichholtz, the former publisher. While under
the control of Mr. Boose, the Daily was a
sprightly newspnper. We hope its present pub
lisher will continue to keep it bright, and that It
will receive a liberal patronage nt the hands of
our citlzeus.
A DESPATcn was received by Jacob Sbipman,
agent for the American Steamship Company,
that the steamship Ohio, arrived safe at Queens
town, Ireland, on Sunday laBt. The Rev. Mr.
newitt, of this place, was a passenger iu the
Ohio, aud It is very gratifying to his numerous
friends here that he has safely arrived in his na
tive country. The Ohio made the trip across
the ocean from Philadelphia in less than tea
days.
Hakd limes It appears are unknown to our
lumber dealers iu this place. We notice that
Mr. Ira T. Clement is running his steam saw
mill, his door and sash factory and coffin manu
factory on full time. Messrs. Fryling, Bowen &
Engle are also making full time. Both parties
have large quantities of prepared lumber on
hand, and sell on the most reasonable terms.

tinue to grant more, unless I altered the date,
there would be a manifest inconsistnnce in them
with regard to the time of patenting.
As there are not yet any instructions for sell
ing of the Island nor laying out of the out-lots,
I would be very well pleased to have liberty to
clear out an old Indian field above and adjoining
the Gut, which goes out of the East Branch.
This Held is a mile and a half from Sunbury, and
as there is nothing but underwood grows in it at
present, the cleaning of it would uot be destruc
tive of timber. It is true Captain Huutcr would
readily give me all the leave I could desire, as
it will not by any means interfere with him ; but
I think it best not to meddle with it without nt
least acquainting you of it. I have enclosed the
Tees of entrance which I received from the per
sons mentioned in the list.
As to the affair of dividing your land on Cliil
lisquaque, I never iutended to make any charge
respecting it ; uor will I. I am very sensible of
more Important services which yon have render
ed mc, and am only sorry that the land fell so
very far short of your own and every other per
son's expectations respecting It. I am sir, with
real rcsiect,
Your most humble servant,
Wm. Maclay.
Mr. Tilgham.
Fort Augusta, J,nne 5, 1773.
Sir : I sometime ago mcntloucd to you in one
of my letters ray desire of having the right of
preemption of a mill seat on Sbamokin Creek
about a mile and three-quarters from Sunbury.
I am since informed that sundry others have ap
plied for it, and one man has been declaring his
intention or settling and buildicg without any
leave. The mill would be or very great service
to the town. Jacob Haverling, a mill carpenter,
has offered to be my partner aud undertake the
building, and as I now have some money which
I could spare, I am strongly inclined to join him
if tbc mill seat could be procured. I must ques
tion whether it will be in yonr power to give mo
the answer which would be most agreeable re
lating to this matter, and indeed would not Lave
troubled you with this, had it not been at the
pressing instance of the persoii who proposes the
partnership. I apprehend fifty acres would
answer the purpose, including the mill seat, and
if such a thing would be agreed ou as to let me
have it, I would send dowu the price of it to Mr.
Physick immediately. But as the burthen or
advancing the money will be entirely on myself,
1 would have tbc grant only to myself. If con
venient, 1 wonld be glad ot a line from you or a
message by the bearer.
A cousideiablc number of people arc very
urgent to get lots iu Sunbury, aud some of them
are here with their families who would build im-
opportunity, write down for leave to grant any
ot those lots which have ucvor heretofore been
granted. A great number of houses are build
iug, and many more would if workmen could be
got.
Vast numbers of people are daily crowding
up, aud we are happy in the pleasing prospect of
having our valleys tilled with inhabitants. This
is remarkably the eager with prospect tothe West
Branch. But alas! wc have an r-ist urancti,
too, -which throws a damp over all our expecta
tions. This, however, canuot always last. I
am in haste and with the utmost respect,
Your much obliged and humble scrvauAr- 1

Local t'orrenpouuence.
Jordan, July '2d, 173.
Edilor Ami f lean :
I noticed iu the last number
that the columns of the American arc opeu for
local correspondence. I am loud of readiug
correspondence, but the last two or three num
bers were lacking local correspondence. The
correspondent from the upper eud became quiet.
(I mean Scribbler.) 1 will make the startagain,
hoping he may follow suit.
While 1 live close to the boundary liue of
Dauphin mid this county, and also near the bo
rough of Unioutown, Dauphin county, I gener
ally make meulion of facts which transpire here.
During haymaking and harvest things about
here were of a more moral nature. A short
time before haymaking, a woman left her hus
band for a day or two aud spent her time in the
woods with auother.whom Blie loved belter than
her husband. Since then she has repented, and
returned to her first love in Unionlown.
Ou Saturday, the 24th lust., a dog and cat
fight broke out In the same quiet village, which
created considerable excitement, and made the
harness fly, (or the manufacturer or harness in
the shaiK! of a husband), who undertook to dust
his better half's dress. The wife happened to be
in the dress, and did not led inclined to submit
to a dusting stick, so she armed herself with a
broomstick, and effectually applied it to her liege
lord's back until be skedaddled, but ouly lor a
night, when he too returned I hope a wiser being.
He was able to be about on Sunday.
At this end of the county crops, sucli as grass
and wheat, were good. Some farmers got but
half crop oi hay. Wheat was a little better.
Some fields were looking promising, when worms
came swarming over tnciu ana uestroyca n.
Some farmers gathered their grain before finish
ing making hay on account of the worms. 1
noticed in ono or my neighbor's fields that the
worms left nothing but the steniB. Even the
chaff, while iu some pluces everything v.a de
stroyed. Other places were not visited.
We In our township had either success or the
jury commissioners had the wrong book to select
jurymen from. It has been a rare occurrence
thai more than two were drawn heretofore at
our term of court. Your correspondent would
not care to be one or the lucky ones for juryman
about January term. Then I could have a talk
with you aud pay my subscription for another
year iu advance. My time is up then, and I

"Hope is a good breakfast but a very bad sup

heart ou a killing pair or Messrs. Smith Js Bro.'s
gaiters, said to her rather before going to bed.

Remember the Dead. In no way can this be
better done than by erecting a suitable torao
stone. This has been done in all ages. The
rich built cost.y monuments, while thoso favored
with less of this earthly goods, get something
in proportion to their means. Marble is cheap
now, so that all can get some kind of a grave
stone to mark the spot of their loved ones. W.

turns out grave Btones for five dollars a set and
upwards. A good stock ou hand to select from.

Foreign Goods. We notice that Mr. Moses
Marx, of the firm' of Messrs. Marx fcBro.,of
this place, who is now in E a rope, Is buying a
large lot of all kinds of woolen goods of Euro
pean manufacture for their customers in this
place. His intention Is to save the cost of im
portation, and give the benefit to the purchaser.
We learn that ho intends to return in a few
weeks, when these goods will be opened for the
fall trade. This accounts, no doubt, for the
great redaction in the prices of their goods at the
present time, which is selling off rapidly. We
presume that they want to make room for their
new stock. This Is showing au enterprise never
before exhibited in this place.
The IV roil g Side of the Meridian.
On the down hill side of life, which an old
medical writer quaiutly terms "the wrong side
of tho meridian, u when the fuuetions decay and
the frame gradually bends nnder the weight of
years, the system requires to be sustained under
the burden imposed upon it. Innumerable
pbysicial ailments and infirmities then press np
on it to which it had been In earlier life a strang
er. The surest and plcasantest support and so
lace of declining years is fonud in Hosletter's
Stomach Bitters, long recognized as the most
wholesome and agreeable of diffusible stimu
lauts, the most potent of tonics and alteratives.
The aged and infirm may place implicit confi
dence in this invigorating elixir, which not on'y
checks those maladies to which elderly poisons
are peculiarly subject, but in a measure retards
the encroachment of time, npon the constitu

THE LIGHT RUNNING "DOMESTIC."
The "Domestic.'
The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedingly simple
machine in all its-parts and processes. It is
easily understood ; familiarity with its action is
very qnickly acquired, ana it ueeus uarinj my
practice of special skill in the operator.
The superior advantages obtained in the Do
mestic" are mainly :
1. Mirht Running.
2. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wheels.
S. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stitch.
4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con
struction.
5. Absence of all riction.
6. Great range of Work.
7. Ease of Operation. ....
We do not say that the "Domestic" is the only
Machine worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some possessing real and acknow
ledged merit 1 but we do claim, and are prepared
to demonstrate, that the "Domestic" has many
excellences that reudcr it decidedly tuptrvir to
any other Machine now before the public.
Let every woman, therefore, examine for hcr
sir into its merits when she bnys a machiue.
This is an important purchase, not to be care
lessly made ; one that will influence her com
fort, probably for a long time. With a "Domes
tic" in her possession, she will find her sewing
become a pleasaut exercise of skill and taste, In
stead of a slow manual drudgery 1 she will have
the time and strength to add beamy and elegance
to work In which berore she has bceu obliged to
couteut herself with bare utility.
