A word to the wise Ac" Perils of the Deep. Tbe Pitt6tonStage while unloading baggage on the towing path in town yesterday, was, by the carelessness of a passing boatman or the driver, or the stubboi ness of the horses, or from some other, or all of these causes, backed into tbe canal and up*et. The passengers, including one or two Ladies, taking the alarm in time hastily unloaded themselves on the tow-path The baggage after a brief batb in the 'raging canawl," was all finally rescued from a watery grave. A Peremptory Visiter, A large, fine, but rather stem looking ■tranger, a day or two since, drove up to the National Hank at this place—walked in— showed bis commission, and without further ceremony called for the accounu, books, bonds, notes and monies of the Bank. These were promptly furnished bun ; and be pro- , ceeded to examine and count them with a rapidity belonging only to a professional. This unexpected, though not unwelcome visitor, was a Government Bank defective, or financial agent. He of course found matters entirely sound snd satisfactory at this insti tution; but may ere this, be engaged in ex amining the rotton bowels of some bogus bank hundreds of miles distant. Watching won't do them any barm. Base Ball. Country villages are of'.jn wisely alow in adopting games which originate in cities.— However, we think the young men of Tunk hannock have been needlessly tardy about inaugurating the "national game" which for years past has been so popular throughout the country.

The following complimentary notices, by oor editorial brethren, of the recent change in the Democrat, are selected from scores of similar ones, for the reason that they con tain suggestions which it will be well for our friends to heed: CHANGE or NAME The "North Branch Democrat" came to us last week, enlarged and improved, ann with a change of title It is now issued under the name of "Wyo ming Democrat." We are glad to note these evidenoes of success on i the part of oor ex cellent cotemporary.— Berwick Gazette. CHANGE or NAME.— What was formerly the "North Branch Democrat," published at Tunkhannock, in Wyoming County, now comes to us with a change of title to "Wyo ming Democrat," besides being enlarged and very much improved in its general appear ance. We are pleased to note this eridence of prosperity, and trust the patrons of the Democrat will sustain the enterprising pro prietor in the improvements he has made for their bemfit.— Lycoming Gazette. THE North Branch Democrat, for years the organ of the uawavering Democracy of Wyoming county, has been enlarged, redressed, and now comes to us under the name of the Wyoming Democrat. The change of name is a happy thought, as it is more musical than the old one, makes a. , noater and more evenly divided headiog, and | localizes the paper. The Democracy of Wyoming should reward Mr. Sickler's enterprise, by according him their fullest support, and they will then see the majority which has been so long stationary rolling on up into the hundreds.— Columbian. The Nicholson Nines. The following in relation to the recently discovered mines in Nicholson, clipped from the Scranton Registor will be read with in terest by all in tbis county. THE GOLD FIEI.DS. —The work in opening the gold mines in Nicholson township, as well as in erecting buildings, putting in machinery, Ac., is progressing, and the prospects of find mg the precious mrtals in great abundance, is daily growirg stronger, and the certainty of finding gold and silver in quantities to pay, sufficiently gcranteed by the fact that old miners who have devoted years to the study of surface indications, as well as rock and other formations, are fully satisfied that it does exist in considerable deposits, and have consequently invested their means in the de velopment of the mines. We saw specimens taken by recent wash ings, in the possession of Mr. 0. G. Williams, an old California miner, but now a resident of Olyphant, are very rich, and be informs us that he never saw better indications of rich deposits in the ncbest portions of Cali fornia. Mr. Williams was also accompanied in bis tour of inspection by Messrs. J Evans and Owen G. /ones, of Olyphant, both of whom are gentlemen of rife experience, and they give it as their opinion that gold sod silver exists in large quantities, and that fur ther developements will prove that their judgment is not at fault. Major Rollins, late of California, but now largely interested in these mines, and super intendent of the works, is now in Boston pur chasing the necessary machinery, Ac., and it will not be a long time when what is now considered doubtful by some, will be demon* strated as a certainty. A large number ol gentlemen from a dis* tance daily visit the mines, and the horses belonging to the livery stable of N. Riker, at Nicholson are kept busy conveying strangers to and from the mines. We look upon these gold beds M being rich and their developement will not only have the tendency of greatly increasing the population of Nicholson and ita vieinity, bat opeu a source of vast wealth to parties inter ested and the countiy at large, which has lain idle lor years.

Patented May 7th, 18C7. Ths moet Important and Valuable Invention <l/ the 19fy Century, 1. The Dasher is superior to fitly other, By '•<•! tf ■s simple as the old dasher, and combining the t. uiotpharic principle therewith, M. I tbo Butter GJlU erei. 2. It is superior to ail others, inasmuch the same power applied to this in like in chuiii<-l o|<r atioos will make one-fourth more rci-ip-n-iti-ns. 3. It is superior to all others, inr-mu h d* it pro duces in a much shorter time 4. It is superior to any other, inamu h as it pro duces a much better quality ot Butter. Lastly it is superior to any other Patent ChurrJ , inasmuch as it is SOU per cent, cheaper than an/ other. It is wall known to Dairymen and othors, that Butter is contained in minute globules or s irks cov - ered with n membrane, and requires the action ot air to prepare the covering to be remove 1 by trie tion. Toe Scientific American ray "If cream is dashed against hard suhstan'-e or mashed between bars or rolfers,it .reaks the gt ibntes and beoomas oily, by destroying tho grain It should be thrown into currents and counter-currents by the action of air, causing a friction by the cur rents against each other, removing the covering without breaking or bursting the globules." This is the principle which the inventor of thta Dasher endeavored to keep in view, and the result shows a much LARGER YIELD OF BITTER OBTAINED IN' LESS TIME THAN ANY OTHER DASHER Experiments have proven that any other method except (tumping air through the cream ,wil! not pen etrate sufficiently to oxygenize all the globules pre paratory to concentrating the butter. Throwing it into the air by cluppers of old fashioned Dashers, does not sufficiently ex.tose it to the air to bring out the Butter. The above Patent Dasher has be n purchased for Susquehanna, Wyoming and Luzerne Counties by A, P. Baldwin, of Montrose. The process "! • .-binn ing can be seen on exhibition at Wall's H re! in Tunkbannock, for a few days by Mr. Roym Ids, agent, who will sell township righrs, A. P. BALDWIN, Mostrose, July 23d. 1867.

The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, now buildiog west from Omaha, Nebraska, and fir ming, with its western c innections, in unbroken line across the continent, attracts attention to the Value of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now offer to the pullic. Tbe first question a. ke Iby prudent investors is, "Are these bonds sec-tire 7" Next, "are they a profitable investment ?" to reply in brief; * Ist. The enrly completion of tbe whn'e great lies to the Pacific is ss certain as any fu:are business even.'c&n be. Tbe Government grant of over twen ty million acres of land and fifty million dollar? in its own bonds practically guarantees it. One fourth of the work is already done, and the truck continues to be laid at the rate of two miles a day. 2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued upon what promises to be one ot the most profitable lines of railroad in tha country. For many years it must be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific ; and being without competition it can main tain remunerative rates. 3d 425 miles of this road are finisbe I. n i folly equipped with depots, locomotives, cars. A ,.d two trains are daily running each way T. • m its ri ats for tbe .emaining 131 miles to the e..<rere „ of the Rocky Mountains are on band, and it is u- . r contract to be done in September. 4th The net earnings of 'he section? already fiu ished aru several times greater than the gold inter est upon the First Mortgage Bonis upon such sec tions, aud if not another mile of the road ware holt tbe part already completed would n--t only pay in terest and expenses, but be profitable to the Com pany. sth. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can bp ued only a* the road progresses, aud therefore can never be in the market unless tbey represent a buna fide propertv. 6th. Their amount is is strie'ly lim'ted by law to a sum equal to what is granted by the U. S. Gov ernment, and for whi-h it takes a second I i- n as its security. This amount upon the firsi 5)7 u_i.es wist from Amaha is only <16.1'00 per mile 7th The fact that the I". 5. Government consid ers a second lien upon the road a good investment, and that some of tbe shrewdest rai'road builder? of the country have alread- paid in five inillin dol lars upon tbe stock (which is to them a third lieu), may well Inspire confidence in a first lien. Bth. Although it is not claimed that there can ha any better securities that Governments, there are parties who consider a first mortgage up n su.h a property as this the very best security m the world, and who sell their Governments to ro-h.ic.it :u lh-?e bonds —thus securing a greater interest. 9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad bends are offer ed for tbe (-resent at 90 cents on tbe doll ir and ac crued interest, they are the cheapest security in the market, being over 15 per cent, less than U. 8. Stocks. 10th, At the current rate of of premium on gold, they puy Over Hine per Cent. Interest.
