Mrs. D. J Osterhout, with Mrs.

ed in a scries of colloquies in two, volumes, issued by
' The National Publishing Company, l'hilad'a."— ;
This work will be sought after and read by ull can
did readers of history. The author'; peculiar fitnes.
of position, mind, and character for tbe preparation
of such a work is ucknowled by all.
Rumor sat* that T. B. Wall will build a number
of Dwelling bouses here during tbe next summer. It
is rumored that Daniel Wright will slse build sever
al houses. It is known and felt that there is a great
scarcity of tenant houses, aod that rents are tuucb
higher here than ever before.
It is said that the Rail Road Company intend to
fash their work on vigorously as soon as spring
opens, and that it will be completed to thee point by
mid summer.
Paleo Bros, team ran away a few days since, anj
in turning a short corner, slued their driver, Mr Ba

without much injury to themselves. Mr. B. limped

as heretofore.

Made Easy,-To make some of the unpleasant
labors of life comparatively easy—to rouoioff tho
•o.rp angles, and smooth down the rough places in
in pathway, has been the study of man from the
1-egmning As washing is one of those unpleasant
links-and as Washing-day is one of these dark,
rough placee—washing machines almost innumera- I
kic have been invented —but with little or no suc
cess until the H. P Jones machioe came out The
agent for the sale of tbeee machines has left several
of them in town for trial. Among others, one at our ,
borne. After a fair teat we only echo the opiniou of
our •' better half' when we say that it is a most ex
cellent maehino—th e nest ever used by her; and
ares a large, portion of tbe unpleasant labor of
wishing.
Hesitating. —We read in somebody's book of
fables of a certain ass which starved to death while j
finding between two bundles of bay ; because be
culd not decide oat of which one to take his fodder, i
fur Representative seems to be very much in the
wise situation as to tbe liquor question. Having
been Bonded with petitions both for tbe repeal of the
present prohibitory law, and for its continuance and
extension; be dare not take the responsibility to do
either. But, propones to do what no body wants
dene, i ,, submit tbe question to a vote of the peo- |
pie to inform the conscience of the Legislature which
rosy or may not, at the next session, act ujion the
information. Tbe House —just to accommodate the
doubting representative—passed his bill, It t said
that it wilt not oe passed in tbe Senate By taking !
a stand on tbe question, Mr Lott could doubtless
repeal the lav or confirm it as it is. By hesitating, j
did a certain Mrs. Lott of old, he will fiud him
lelfm a worse condition than was tbat Lady. He'll ,

The Baud on Friday evening last sallied out to

Of Interest to Everybouy.—Since the advent
of the Star Shuttle Sewing Machine in the market,
about one year ago, the manufacturers hare sold
about Fifteen Thousand, and such unprecedented
testimonials of their intrinsic worth has prompted
i them to enlarge the machine, and otherwise improve
it. that now the Star Shuttle Sewing Machine stands
without a rival. Mr. Wilson deserves great credit
. for assuming the responsibility ia putting a Lock
Stitch Shuttle Sewing Machine in tbe market at
I such a very low price, in direct competition with all
the first class and high priced machines.

Among the many restoratives which nature has
. supplied to relieve the offiictiors of humanity, there
is no more favorite one for a certain class of disease?
than the "medicinal gum" of the Wild Cherry Tree;
but however 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
Dr. Wlxlar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, i
whose value in curing C<ughs. Colds, Bronch tis,
Whooping Cough, Croup, Asthma, Pulmonary Af- ,
