His father many a* bloody: fight. ‘
Grim war he purled, and his twisted tail ‘ ‘
And spipC'tCpbeaved.io a fantesticcurve,' ■
And claws distended, and cars flatly pressed . ,
Against a head thrown back, defiantly
Told of impending strife.
*With eyes agleam and screeching blasts of war
And steps as silent os the falling dew
Did Dougina creep along tbo overhanging eaves,
And gazed a moment through the darkness down
With tail awag trfumpbantly.
Then imprecation and tv growl— : ’’ ...
Perhaps an oath in.'direst vengeance hissed—
He started back'; then crooked his body* was'
Like to a letter S, or an inverted IJ,
He stood in fierce expectancy. *T was well.
With eye-balls glaring, and ears all aslant.
And' open mouth in which two rows of fangs
Stood forth in sharp and dread conformity
Slow the dark below * -
Aicit appeatpdb-OMged coj called "Buck*"
A dreadful tocsin of determined strife
Young Douglas uttered; then with face unblanched,
And mustache stonding etraigbt before his nose
And tail dung wildly totho passing-breeze,*
Stepped back in cautions invitations to the foo.
Approaching the other and frith'preparations dire
Each cat surveyed the vantage of the field.
Around they walked with tails uplifted, and
Backs high in air, while from each threatening mouth
In accents hissing with consuming rage
Dropped brief but awful sentences of hate.
Thrice around the roof they went in circle, each
With eye upon the foe intently bent.
Then with sidewise moving as is wont with cats
Gave one long-dnkwji, yell
And buckled in! The fur flew ! A mist
- /
High ’’bove flic din Of passing wagons rose 1 '
The dreadful tumult of the struggling cats’.
So gleamed their eyes in frenzy, that to mo
Who saw the conflict from a window near.
Nought else was plain but fiery stars that moved y
In orbits most eccentric. \
An hour they struggled in tempestuous might ''
Then faint and fainter grew the squall of war
Until all sound was hushed. Then went I forth
With lantern and the field surveyed. What saw X ?
Six claws, one car, of teeth perhaps a handful.
And sayp.fur, ,qqugh| else except a solitary tail, ,

BitADFoiin. —We-have seen several attempts
to finish that beautiful and pathetic song of
Burns, —"John Anderson my Joe.” The follow
ing verses which we find in the Evening Posl >
from the pen of Dr. Macintosh of Towanda,
are certainly the best we have seen:
John Anderson, my jo, John,
We’ll wauken in the morn,
A’ free frae toll an’ care, John.
’ Ayont this fleetin’ bourn;
Our paths will then be peace, John,
Nae grief we mair shall know.

“Potter Co., Pa., seven years ago, had not
an officer, high or low, but belonged to the
Democracy. Now, all the officers, high and
low, are .Republicans. The Journal says that
no man shall have an office there, who does not
believe in the Declaration of Independence;'
the people have talked it all over, and their
deliberate,-solemn conclusion, is to give the
honors and profits at their disposal only to out
spoken, straight forward friends of Freedom.—
So it will be in Centre county before many
years. The leaven is working, and a radical
change in political office-holding will be the
inevitable result. —Belefonte Democrat. ;
Wc notice that,, the Democrat nominates
Jons S. Mann Esq., of Coudersport, as its
candidate for the office of Surveyor General.
Mr. Mann is an earnest Republican, and the
revolution in public sentiment above described
by the Democrat is due to bis efforts more than
to any other man in the county. As be is not
an office seeker and we believe never was, we
doubt whether he would accept a nomination at
the hands of a State Convention. He is well
qualified for any office in the gift of the State,
and should he be a candidate before the people,
we will give him a hearty support. No man
from the “Northern Tier” ever held a State of
fice, and we think it deserves one, and should
get it now.
Lycojiinq. —The Gazette says- of Dickinson
Seminary, that the number of students is larger
this session than for several years past, and its
prospects correspondingly encouraging. The
citizens of Williamsport apparently feel but
little interest in the- institution, and, according
to the Gazette, do not appreciate its advantages.
The Tioga Agitator devotes a column to
bidding good bye to our extinguished Con
gressman, Allison White. We would not bo
understood as dictating to our neighbor what
he shall write about, but he will please excuse
us for saying that he attaches an undue impor
tance to that gentleman. Last Pall, when he
was a candidate before the people, some im
portance attached to him on that account, but
noW we know none of Ida constituents,-of any
party, who pay the slightest attention to him
or his acts. Newspaper criticism, or notice In
any manner, will only tend to raise, him for the
time being, from the oblivion that is ready to
sallow him ; so let hup go down peaceably and
quietly. This .is probably, the last we shall ever
do for him.— -fedette.
, Cizntox. —A few days ago q Mr. ,Smith,a
resident of Mifflin-township,-while huntingon
Larry’s Creek; had what may be called a'hair
breadth escape. Mr. Smith stopped to rest,
standing with his hand over the muzzle of the
gun, the breech upon the ground, when his dog
came to him and jumped up in a friendly man
ner, placing’his fore feet upon Mr. Smith’s
shoulders. Mr. Smith pushed the dog off,
when his paw struck the hammer of the' gun
with such force as to cause it to go off, the ball
passing through Smith’s hand, grazing his fore
head and passing through the rim of his hat.

AYlfll’S SAitsiPAßitLi.
A compound remedy, in which we have labored to prddjice
the most effectual alterative that can he made. It is a con
cental t*t£ct of. ftarpsBars£s^ia 4 J4 combined with
other substances of stiJJ .greater power as to afford
■eSrSiffecfciTfc antidote for the diseases' Snrraporilln Is repaid
to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted bv
those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one
which-will accomplish-their cpro mast prove of immense
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow-citizens.—

Dyspepsia and XncHgestton,Ery«lpelaf,RoNe or St. Anthony’s
Biro, and indeed the. whole claw of compladits arising from
impurity of the blooiL .. ; ■
Thin compound will be found » great promoter of health,
■when taken in the spring, to expel tlte-foul humors which
fester iu the blood at that scasbn-of the year. By thp timely
expulsion of them many ranklingdteorders are nipped in the
bud. Multitudes can, by the Afd.ofXiiU, remedy,'spare them
selves from the endurance of foal eruptions and ulcerous
Sores, through which the astern will stive to rid itself of
corruptions, if not assisted to do "thi* through the natural
Channels of the body by an alterative "medicine. C’eanso
out the vitiated blood whenever 3*oafind its inipuritfesljarat
iug through the t-kin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse
it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins;
Cleanse it whenever it Is tout, and your feelings will tell you
when* Even where no particular disorder is lelt, peoploen-
Joy better health, and live lunger, fur cleansing the blood.—
Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with this pabu
lum of life disordered, there can bo no lasting health, Soon
er or later something must go wrong, and tho groat machi
nery of life ia disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation, of ac
complishing those'ends. Rut tho world has been ogregiously
deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone
has not aii the virtue that Is claimed for it, but mure be
cause many preparations, protending to be concentrated ex
tracts of it, contain but littlo of tho virtue uf Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else. • - - •
Dming'htte years the public have been misled by large
bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla
for up« dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the
eick. for they not only contain little if «ny Sarsaparilla, but
often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and
painflaJfdisappointment has followed the tzso of the various
extracts of Sar«npai ilia which flood the market, Until the
Jnnc itself is justly-despised, and has become synonymous
with imposition uud cheat. Still wc cull this compound Sar
saparilla, and intend to supply such u remedy as shall rescue
tho name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. Ami
Me tbink we have ground fur believing it has virtues which
are irresistible by tho ordinary run of tbe diseases It Is in
tended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradica
tion from the system, tho remedy should bo judiciously ta
ken according to directions on the bottle.

The whole history qf this medicine fully confirms the opin

testified, that when all other remedies bad hilled, this had
.completely cured; that when the sufferer hod well nigh des
paired, this had afforded immediate relief: that when the
physician had pronounced the disease incurable, this has re

HOW TO MAKE BUTTER.
USE tho New Machine invented by E. A. Smead,
to operate your common Dash Churns, it can bo
applied to any size. You can regulate the stroke to
any required length from two to fourteen inches, by
tho adjustable wrist pin in the fly wheel by which mo-!
lion is imparted to the dash. A child can operate it
with ease. See that the Inventor** name i'a on the ma- i
china before youpurchase. Price, Five Dollars.i
This machine is tho result of three years experi
ments, and has been pronounced* by scientific men
to bo perfect. I obtained a glass churn last year in
which I could witness the agitation produced by tie
different length stroke, this showed the advantage If
having the adjustable wrist pin, as the stroke must bo
in proportion to the amount of creamier milk to l|o
churned. Letters Patent of the Uniied States are
now pending, and all persons are cautioned not to in
fringe. It can only be had of Smead & Tabor, at
Tioga.

than any other machine; has no side draft though it
ents a wide swath; will work on rough ground wfacro
no other machine can follow it; very difficult to be
dogged In any kind of grass, bo it wet or dry; is sim
ple in construction.and not liable to get oat of repair;
is a perfect combined machine; working equally well,
