Local and Personal. Crowded.—We hardly need tell our readers . that a cro.d of uew advertisements—whioh no doubt i will bo road with interest—has left us little or no space for other matter this week. Smaller type, or larger paper, seems to be inevitable. In the lan guage of the great Patrick Henry we say. "let it come." Dress up.—Persons who expect to continue in the prevailing custom of wearing clothes-and thosa who feel assured that the rest of mankind will "fol- I law suit,' 1 would do well to note tho fact, that Mr. 0 S. Baldwin, oc the N. E. Corner of Broadway A Canal St N. Y., is now selling clothing, by the sin gle girmcnt or at wholesale,at heretofore unheard of low prices. See advertisement in to day's paper. Deeds,— A large stock of finely printed Deeds on hand and for sale at this office ; also Blank notes, Bonds, Appraisement blanks, Justices and Const a- j bles blanks of all kinds. Variable,—Tho weather is what tho Almanac makers might, with safety to their reputations, call variable. It varies from cold, to very cold, and from a slight flurry ot snow, to a regular old fash ioned nor'wester. The wind varies seveial points of the compass, from N. to N. W nd keep' on blowing as though it had taken the contract to cool off tho hot-heads of Congress. Getting Ready,--The Messrs Lees, who have the contract lor the building of the 11. R Bridge at this place ami who were force Iby the cold weather to suspend their wall building, are improving the fine sleighing and the ice brilge across the creek, by hauling stene from the quarries ID order to give the work an early start in the spring. Serious.—The scarcity of water, u!" h has been felt all over the country, is sai Ito have teen the came of several Templars tab,. p to o'h r and moro common fluids, with which to quench their thirst.— Deal.rs in the "ardent" are said to have been oblig ed to sell more liquor and less wot r since the great scarcity ot the latter fluid. These long eohtinued j drouths are hard on all classes. Several of the prominent Temperance tret of town have left for Harris!.urg, to attend the great Temperance Convention, which eomincnced at that place yesterday. It is hoped they will rs-a;-e the temptations to which men. who go from a cold-wa ter, to a hot-whisky district aro liable.

Mr. EDlTOß —Pegging par lon of jottr readers for occupying a sp-'e in your interesting paper, which no doubt might be filled with mote interesting mat ter, and hoping to be excused for trespassing upon your good nature, will again attempt to give an ac count of some of the incidents occurring h;re the past week. Our thriving little town, as remarked by a stranger,who sojourned b- re a tew days, " was on runners" Kaihor a novel idea, out very appropri ate, faking info consideration how fa-t :t slides. It is not really on runners. There ore certainly maty ruDnera in tho town —espec.ally for the past few days,—strangers comparatively 'due excitement commencing by a iargc gituering at the Presbyterian Church to l.sleu to a vocal con cert given by the celebrated I n.vcrsalist Choir, of Brooklyn, who not only rrpre-e tiled tho fash ins in dress worn forty years ago, but sung old fashioned tunes in the peculiar olu tashioncd stylo, which re minded those, who attended church at that time, of their youthful days. I hope the ladies will excuse me, when I say it uid look so odd to sec their beads covered over with bonnets, it being so much in con trast with the head-gear of to-day—a 3 by 4 bolder that crops out immediately above the cataract or waterfall. Their old style of dresses which were sufficiently short that a gentleman coul l walk with in ten feet of them without being considered rude or impeding their travel bv stepping on the same. But sayiug nothing about style, their ringing was excel lent, and well appreciated by a crowded house. At tire ilose, the cbuir left to partake of an oys:er sup per prepared at liivtr's Hotel, at which place the " Nicholson Brass Band" complimented theui ith some choice music. On Wednesday evening there , was a large turn-out to atten t a Donation lor the benefit of our Lniversalist Clergyman, Rev. A. 0. Warreu, of Montrose Hal a good time in oyster stews and other uelicacies prepared by our liberal minded christian ladies. Proceeds, cash 8 US. A " Musical Drill," by Trof. Thomas, was also held at the Methodist Church, commencing on Tues day and endii g on Friday night by a public concert to a full house. There was a good attendance thro'- , out tho drill. The Prof, being complimented for talent, proficiency, and new mode of teaching vocal music. There were many in attendance from the surrounding counties. Quite a number from your town, among them Mi-s Pike, your noted pianist, was complimented by a special resolution among a •tries of others for her attendance and skill uj-on the j organ. As u'usl on Saturday the streets were alive with people from out-town. At intervals throughout the : day there would be quite large groups and often smaller ones, not at any one particular point but at ; different ones at several points, some of them center ing where they could piartake of some of the " pro hibits," still uft others attending to their usual bus iness ; still others discussing the doings of our Leg islature ujon the repeal of the Liquor Law of 1367, which passed the lower liou-o unanimously,and went to the Senate for concurrence a few day s since ; some contending that it repealed the prohibitory Liwofl Ltttlo Wyoming, while others "could not sec the point." It was however decided by T, that it te- j jwale-J nil of the prohibitory laws that were upon the j statute hooks. In the evening in pursuance of no- ; tice there was a preliminary meeting of the Demo- ; erxti to organize a Club (or the ensuing campaign. k permanent organization was effected by electing - Edwtn Stephens, Pres't; Win. 0 Gardner and Gur- 1 don Hewitt, Vice Presidents ; If.

Among the many restoratives which nature has supplied to relieve the afflictions of humanity, there is no more favorite one for a certain class of diseases than the "medicinal guti)" of the Wild Cherry Tree; ; but h -wever valuable it is, its power to heal, to ! soothe, to relieve and to cure, is enhanced tenfold by scientific and judicious combination with other ingredients, in themselves of equal worth This happy mingling exists to a remarkable degree in lir.
