Local and Personal. Dont Forget the printer—Court week. Several Matters of local interest have been crowded out of this issue. They wili appear in our next. Blanks.—We keep on hand and for sale at this office, Blank notes —single, and bound in books of 50 and 100 each, summonses, subpoenaes, constables gales, collectors' letters, attachment executions, rules and iuterrogat ores for justices, sheep-dog-law blanks leases,school collector, A treasurers' bonds |-upervisors and township treasurers bonds, justices', fee bills, blanks deeds, Ac. Ac. Blanks of all kinds printed to order and in the best style, on short notice. String Hands and Orchestras will do well to call upon L. B, Powell, U5 Penn Avenue, Scranton for Instruments, Strings, Ac. He is filling a great many orders for Strings by mail. Fine Wool.—Mr. A. G Valentine of Washing ton Tp. has exhibited to us a specimen of wool clipped from an imported breed of English sheep— which is upwards of twelvo inches in length, and of a fibre as fine as the finest silk. The specimen sent us was clipped from a last year's lamb, the whole fleece of which weighed 8 lbs. Who can beat it 7 A Lively Girl.—Mr. EDITOR : Miss Lavantia •Cole, daughter of David Cole ot Meshoppen, who is only 10 years of age,spins of woolen yarn 30 knots daily—a woman's day's work —and has spun in a single day, 60 knots of good yarn, Lavantia reads the Democrat and will, no doubt, be surprised to find herself so famous a "spinster," as the publica tion of this Dote would make her. A SCB. Naturalization Papers.- -Persons in this vi cinity entitled to their final Naturalization papers , at this time, should apply at the next week's term of court—which is the last that will be held in this county, before the fall elections. Minstrelsy—A pair of Italia's itinerant, dusky sons have been making our streets vocal with the sounds ol harp, violin lIQ.I_ song, tor tho past two days. They wete liberally rewarded with pennies Mini postal currency. Rail Road .Matters.—Tho building of the em bankment or fill for the R. R which will bo re quired ou the town si te of the creek, at this place, has been let to Daniel Wright. The superstructure for toe R. R bridge at this place is framed and ready far putting up immediately on the completion of the masonry. Our friends at Falls have been giatifi.-d by the appearance, among them, of a snort ing "Ingine " They thißk it the best "lugm-show" now travelling. A Correspondent from the upper end of the county send* an article, the publication of which, ho says, will oblige the Democrats of his region, but forgets to oblige us by giving his name. Wo are always glad to receive, and if thought best, to publish original articles from our friends ; but *e wish to be assured thej are su<h. They may con ceal their identity from the public, by adopting for their articles, # any non de plume they may choose.but the note accompanying them should in all cases contain the real name of the writer* To publish an article without this, would be to violate a rule as old as newspaper priming ..(Sees— A rule founded in justice and reason ; and one, of which, we hardly think, our correspondent was ignorant. Kit terprising.--Among the numerous note worthy improvements which have been made in tiwvn.for the past year, none is more striking than the new Jewelry Store and Dental rooms of the Burns Bros, on Tioga St. With the other elegant arrangements about their place, is a large clock dial placed over the central dour. This is no dumb watch concern, but indicates, to a tick, the precise time of day. it is indeed, the only town clock in town—admonishing all that '-time flies." It will prove especially convenient to absent-minded young men who travel around to n late o'nights, on ac count of not having their watches with them. The fine display ot silver and plated ware in the windows and show cases, shows very plainly that lb* se.enterprising men have been making large ad ditions to their stock in Ibis line. Run away.— The horses attached to the four horse coach running between this place and Facto ryville on Saturday last, wheu about two miles from this place took fright, and the lines ot the leaders breaking ran away with tae coach and three passen gers. One ot ihein, Mr. Daniel Ennis, whs was on the bo* with the driver, in j utuping off, to escuj*e what seemed gieater peril, broke his leg below the knee. The driver also jumped off, but without seri ous One of the wheel horses fell and had the harness instantly stripjd from him by his ilia ;os. The three ran at a most furious rate down a i'-ng h'll with the coach, which strange to say, re mained right si Je up, with the two passengers—a luan and a boy— inside. While going up a steep pitch in theroai to which they had come, the run a ways so far slackened their pace as to allow the passengers to open and jump out of the coach anJ st .p them Mr. Bonis' leg was set by Dr. Lyman and be is now doing as well as his circumstances will allow. Republican Nomina'ions. —The Republican convention which met at this place on Monday la.?:, made the following nominations: For Congress, ITyaes Mercur, of Bradford Co. For Senator, I'* M. Osterhout of Wyoming. For Representative, Ziba L**tt of Tuokh.imiock. Co. Commissioner. Benjamin Overfield of Mesboppen, Treasurer. Fleu*h<*r Dickson, of Tunkbannock Tp ; Auditor, Win. Robinson, Forkston ; District Attorney, J B, Rhodes of Tunkhannock Borough; Co. Surveyor, C. W. liine, of Tunkhnniiock Boro. The proceedings of this eunvention were not en livened by many of the ludicrous and entertaining scenes which have characterized the two or three previous ones held by tbeir party in this county A sort of glum, sullen feeling seeme 1 to pervade the whole body Henry Roberts of Falls, the Nes tor ol the patty iu this county was chosen chairman J. C. Wright, and S. H. Briggs were chosen Sec retaries. These officers performed their routine du ties in a manner creditable to themselves and the party. Most of the interest centered upon the nom ination for State Senator and Representative. Os terhout and London were the only two in toe field for the first named place. The sorrel-topped nag who bad been carpet-bagging it through our county for the past two weeks only received ten of the thir ty-si* votes* Osterhout distanced bim on the first heat. For Representative, there were five persons put in nomination, viz : G. II Fassett, Z. Lott, J. Ivennedy, N* Wells and Dr. Bran lags The two last named received but one or two votes each lor two or three ballots when their names were with drawn. Lott and Fasset received from 13 to 15 votes each and Kennedy 7 until after the sih bal lot, when he withdreif his name. Most of his dele gates voted for Laitt on the 6th ballot, when be (Lott) received *2O and Fassett 15 votes. Overfield, Hurlbutt, I'erego, and Wallace were named for commissioner Overfield was nomiffgled on first ballot The nomination for Tressurer, Auditor, Dis trict Attorney and Surveyor were made without op position. The Re*. Jakey was present in all his corporosi/y, and saw his $3OO eura prayer iee, bis $lOOO Legis lator fee ; and all the liUle tit-bits of stealings, which clerical Legislators so well know how to con fiscale to pious ue,faile a(fay in.tbe fuming breaths o( the whi.-key-ies, who, be said, controlled the con vention. We did not learn whether he. as on the like occasion last year, cooled his rage in the "ra ging caoawl" or not j but presume he took to cold wot r. The friends of the other candidates, some of them, even before the convention closed took to their favorite fluid ; forgettirg to reaffirm their dec laration of last year, that they were "tho party of decency, temperance and morality, and opposed to vice and crime Ac." This was a serious omission, considering that their conduct may induce forget fulness of the fact, among the people. It is to be presumed that they, who have claimed all the mo rality, all the decency, virtue, temperance, and or thodoxy, have allowed this plank of their platform to be carried from under them by the swelling tide of whiskey 1 For whom will the clerical, political blood hounds, the carpiDg carpet-baggers, and the scaly scallawags vote ] They have no affinities with the Democratic party—thank heaven for it Experience - the light of the past, tells us where we shall find themjxll on day of election. But to re turn to the convention. It endorse 1 Grant who en joys his gin cocktails, that they as they said might enjoy the ' 'fruits of the war" (plunder, spoons and n 'gg eri ) — Resolution 2nd endorsed Geary—we pre- | suwe, on account of his pai dons to black republi an violators of law. The 3,1 one endorse 1 Merour, j doubtless on account of his services as chairmun of the committee on claims and under whose manage ment the claims exceed the revenues if the govern meat. Resolution 4th declares that the Senator be long to Wyoming Co. This one shows such positive ear-marks as to disclose the P A [OJternity of the whole hatch. Ulysses the claim Agent, who i* wtraid of Landon, will hardly d.ire to reciprocate forhispuff This demand of Wyoming Co., howev er. may oblige the wily preacher to salt-Peter, or retire to the superannuated list of politicians an i preachers. The War Between the States, Its Causes, Character, Conduct and Results," by HON. ALEXANDER II STEPHENS., is the title of a valua ble work just issued b" The National Put dishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa. Histories ot the late civil war have sprung up like mushrooms, and they can now be numbered almost by hundreds, but all who are desirous of arriving at a correct understanding'of the causes, and a clear his'ory of the events of the late lamentable war,have lelt the want of a reliable history of the same from a Souihern standpoint, by some representative man of the South. This want is about to be supplied by Alexander 11. Stephens. Mr. Stephens was a most earnest protestant agiinst rebellion, and only suc cumbed at the last moment, when his State, in spite of bis warning, committed the great error, The bare anu luncement that this distinguishe 1 Statesman had determined to write a book, would of itself, be sufficient to kindle a lively and wide spread interest in all sections of the country ; but when it is know that he has ehosen as his thetne the one so fruitful as TIIE LATE AMERICAN WAR. the absorbing interest of the subject, together with lhe evident and singular fitness of the author for its treatment, unite in awakening a curios,ty entirely unparalleled in the annals of American literature. It presents a careful (xditical analysis of the past, separating REAL trom APPAREN T causes of the l ite unb ippy conflict, and gives those interior lights and shadows of the Great War, ONLY KNOWN TO TITOSE HICU OEEICERS, who watch the flood-tide of Rev dution from its fountain-springs, and whi h were so accessible to Mr. Stephens trom his position as second officer of the Confederacy To a public that has been surfeite I with APPAR- j ENTLY SIMILAR PRODUCTION'S, it presents a , hange of fare, both agreeable and salutary, and an j intellectual treat of the highest order. The Great American War has AT LAST found a historian worthy of its importance, and at whose hands it re ceives that moderate, cm,til anl impartial treat ment which truth and justice so urgently demand. ! This most valuable work is sold only by subscrip tion. and the publishers want an agent in every County. Married. BIRD —lIOOVER—In Washington I'wp- Wyoming Co. P. August 7th, 18S3, by E.
