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.

Base Ball.
Country villages are of'.jn wisely alow in
adopting games which originate in cities.—
However, we think the young men of Tunk

inaugurating the "national game" which for

the country. It is manly sport and vigor
ous extTcise; hence we are glad to record
the organization of 'be "TunkhaoDock Base
Ball Club" as follows : President. G. B De-

Court Week
Usually brings to town a crowd surpassed
only on circus days. Some of the events due
lo this quarterly assemblage are amusing,
while others are serious. The city boys, sev
eral of whom are stopping in town, joked
over the rustic mien and awkward gait of
Wyoming yeomanry—of course they made
•port of their betters.

trie regular proceedings of the session. It
seems the Prohibitory Law is not entirely a

About Ourselves.
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.

Thomas' Patent Atmospheric
CHURN DASH.
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,

As an Investment.
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.
