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.

NI-H.IOON, Feb. 16, 1563.
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.

No longer heaved with pain ;

When death its work had done ;
And though sweet thoughts of tMe our child

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;

by scientific and judicious combination with other
ingredients, in themselves of equal worth This
