SAR.t TL'TTON. | AJm ,„ HARVEY SICKLER, ) Adm Tunkhannock, P.i.—tf. A Change,—Mr. Jacob Redlich, has recently purchased the entire interest of the firm of Straus A ItedlKh, in the Ready-made Clothing nnd Gentle man's furnish ing goods, at the old stand of C. P. Miller ; where h will endeavor to please his old and new customers, both .as to the quality and the price of his goods. Almost every man can afford to wear clothes at Mr. Redlich's prices. Signs,—lt is always a sign of progress and promise w hen a man advertises his business. You may be sure the advertiser is not ashamed of his business nor of his way of attending to it. One of the must judicious ways of advertising is to place a good sign-board at the place of business. 0. S. Mills A Co., who now keep a first-class Hardware Stcre, with Stoves, Sheet-iron,and Tin-ware of every description, have lately put up a sign of this kind.— Of course overybody will now know where to go for stoves, hardware, Ac.. Mr. T. B Wall, too, has recently stuck up a board which indicates where good horses and neat and commodious Carriages, Cutters and other conveyan ces can be found. Persons hiring horses end rigs of hi w will have no reason to complain that his sign ad vertises too much. Google ! Google ! ! Google !! !~Some of our inquisitive fiit-nds, shortly after Christmas, ask ed us the provoking question : ' Who sent your ehristmas turkey this year 1" As no bird of that character had made his appearance at our coop, we folt iike making wry.faces and using/ctrl language to our tormentors. A fine fat gobbler, for New Years having lately enrne to hand, our equanimity is restored and our friends can depend upon civil answers to their ques tions, as to the New-Year Turkey— Mr. J. P. Conger of Mesboppen was the donor. To relieve our ehrist inas-fed friends from any anxiety aa to this bird, we will state that he roosts very high. No chance now to gobble that gabbler, Raising tlie Dickens.—The great English author Charles Dickens, who is now on a tour through thir country reading from his own books, is ''rais ing the very Dickens" wheruver he goes. Mr, Dick ens has a stronger bol d upon the affections of the English people than any other writer of fiction dead or living His present visit to us, will serve to render his name aa familiar here as it ts in his own eoun;ry. There, his books not only adora the pela •es and the drawing-rooms, but tbey cheer aad make light the labors of the dwellers in the huts, and the kitchens. To meet the popular demand for these admirably written works, Messrs, D. Appleton A Co. of New York, have in press and ft re rapidly issuing the whole series, oomplete, at prices which place them within the reach of even the poorest in eur land. M'e venture the assertion that the whole his tory of book publishing does not furnish an instance, of an equal amount of standard reading, at so cheap a rate. The sale of the paper-bound Dickenses' must inevitably be immense- See advertisement of these works in our colums to-day. The Cbriatmas Tree at the M. E. Chnrch in this place on Christmas Eve, was a grand aflair and brought together a crowded house of old and young folks, at the revival of this good old German custom which, we are glad to say, is fast gaming ground against Santa Claus, and all his fantastic tricks of chijmey climbing and stocking stuffing. Let Santa Claus, who, to say the truth to our young friends, >s nothing but a pious sort of wixxard, a descendant of witches—"go to pot"—or fall from the chimney into the stove, for all we care ! We like the Christ mas-tree better. It's prettier. It's more social Others,besides doting da-Is and affectionate mammas can see the bright eyes dilate and the lips curl with a .To*le. a; the little folks receive their long coveted pair of skates, hand-sleds, gaily dressed dolls, anl gilt-bound books. The poor people too. who havn'l the talismanic greenbacks, required to invoke the capricious sprite with his troop of "liny reindeer may at least,enjoy the pleasure of seeing the beauti ful Christmas-tree, even though none of its richfraits fall to Ibeir lot. We were glad to see that the poor were remembered on this occasion and that the tree bore good gifts for all. May alt live to enjoy many a recurrence of the Christmas time and tree.

A delightful toilet article—superior to Co ptic and at half the price. Dlamoud* In Brazil.— We have .been gratified by a visit from 11. M. Lane, Eq., the agent for Ayer's Pills, Sarsaparilla and Cherry Pectoral, in South America, who has just visited the mines with bis medicines, and described to ns the process of tak ing gems from the earth. A driver places his gang of slaves in a mod hole, where the gems are fonnd, and pans out the earth in the water, like gold wash ers. The negroes are naked, to prevent their secret ing the diamonds in their clothes. They are requir ed to work facing the overseer, and forbidden to raise a hand to the faoe, lest they should swallow the jewels when found. Yet they do carry them away, by becoming so expert that they can snap them with their fingers from the pen to their mouth without detection. Ayer's medicines are the talis mans for their diseases, and it was not difficult to exchange, with the negroes, Ayer's Pills in about even weight, for the rough stones in which the bril liants are holden.— Boston Leader.
