The band has received numerous kind
and pleas'ng attentions through tbe editorial col
rxutis of the Democrat, and we now ask that per
sonal considerations will not forbid you to again
concede us a small space in which wo may tender
our grateful acknowledgements, for the generous
and delightful entertainment furnished us a few
evenings since by yourself and your agroeable bet

kind more, and here wish for you, that yourselves
and all the little editors may never be disturbed by
harmony or discord more unpleasant than those
which surrounded you during our short visit that

llirn Burned. —The extensive barn, stabl.s
and shols of Samual B.llow-11, of Auburn Susqh C o
with all their eontents including three valuable
horses were entirely destroyed by fire on Saturday
laoniing last. Besides Mowing and Threshing ma
chines, Wagons ana other valuable articles, the
barn# ot Mr. Howell contained 50 tons of hay and
1 rpe quantities ol grain. His loss is estimated at
from *4,000 to Sft,OOQ. upon which there was an
insurance ot #I,BOO- The fire is supposed to hive
been kindled by an incendiary.
A Break In the Canal occurred on the Mc-
Kune level, in Falls, last week We learn that it
is now repaired and the boats moving on as usual.
These breaks are.evry provoking concerns to boat
u.en an.l the people generally. Tfaey are undoubt
edly expensive annoyances to the company. What's
suost provoking to us, is the fact that they have re
tarded tbe buiiding of tbe rail road to this point, as
early as we predicted ; thereby jeopardizing our rep
utation as a predictor. We'll try it again ; and
Dow make the following prediction. Tbe cars which
now run regularly to Falls—ten miles below thi -
place—will run to tbis place—as soon as the Rail
roa.l is finished. We base this opinion on the as
sumption that Railroads are principally used for
ear rying passengers, coal, live stock and dead
heads. The first named objects for pay. The last
mentioned, on account ot their pay-iriotism. We
belonged to this c lass —during the late war, as the
records of the draft bureau would or should attest
liless our constitution ! We started out to write
aoout tbe canal,io whose dirty waters tbe irate, cler
ical piocnmjioop.Jjbey Kennedy, last year laved bis
lyplm ic limbs, but have been carried by tbe Rail
road up to tbe provost Marshall's office iu Towanda
wheie we submitted our fair proportions to the wi-e
doctors who certified that wo were built for fi hting;
whereupon we promptly forwarded to the seat of the
war- for the colored gcntlcuien of African 'scent—
#73J worth of fighting fieeb and blood, and return
ed to our anxious wife and prattling babes' covered
with lau—with—glo—no, not these— but with dust
and uiul from the "African district!" Our struggle
since then to keep our financial head above water
end pay that draft debt has been an interesting one
And were it ended, we might see in it, some funny
features
narkslldlilgc—Tbe Republican party, which
claims to he, par excellence the party of "'decency
morality and temperance ;** and which in this coun
ty and district has been represented for years past
in one, and a part of the time, in both branches of
the Legislature, by preacher politicians, have
"backslid." Both preachers who had carpet-bagged
it through tliia county for a renouiination, were, like
J inah of old, cast overboard The morality and
decency plank in their platform, was thrown aside
as useless rubbish of the part It had served its
purpose, ."some simple minded msn had presumed
that where there was so much smoke there must be
some fire. Bat how sad the disappointment ! —Ln"
don greased bis palms with the oil ot the Penn'a R
R- Co ; so thet hundreds of thousands of :be honest
revenues of the state slipped thiough tbctn. He
has arrived at that point of aocml and physical
looseness at which be prefers lager beer to blue pills.
Kennedy, who has "a call to prea< h and pray"
couldn't heave up prayers for tbat God-forsaken
b" ty of sinners without taking #3OO, tbsrefor, from
a tax-ridden constituency ! When the shepherds
neglect the cheep, and the sheep turn tail to the
shepherds, then comee a sad time for both Shep
herd and- woUy heads.
A Success—How Accomplished.—Less than
a Tear ago there was almost an entire stagnation in
a certain line of business ; merchants from the coun
try could not sell their grods ; hence could not pay
their New Tork creditors. Meanwhile the notes
given to the banks by our city merchants were rap
idly maturing, and had to be paid in money, In
this emergency a large wholeaale bouse, with a sus
pended debt of several hundred thousand dollars,
and an immense amount of goods lying on their
shelves, at the suggestion of one of its quickest
thoughted and keenest-witted members, proposed to
dispose of the entire stock at retail, and at a price
so much below what a similar article could be bad
anywhere alse in town, as to make it an inducement
for persons to come from the outskirts of the city
and neighboring villages and see for themselves it
it were really the fact that goods could be purchas
ed at a less cost than anywhere else. After close
investigation it was found to be true in every in
stance ; t>e news spread with great rapidity, and
tie result is a constant stream of visitors from morn
ing until night, and from one week's end to another,
and with such quick profits that it has beeu deter
mined to keep it up "in that line" for two years to
come, a lease of the commodious premises having
been stcured for that time, at the comer of Broad
way and Canal stieet, N. Y. where Baldwin, the
Clothier, will sell all kinds of Men's Ready-made
Clothing at a lower rate than at any other place in
the city, for the same quality of clothing with the
understanding that the price asked is the selling
price, and that eiery article is sold for just what it
is. The editor of this journal kno s tor himself,
personally, that all these things are so, and are lit
erally true.— Halts J out nal of Health, N- Y.

MR EDITOR :
The Democratic club of Nicholson, mot on Tues
day evening, tbe 11 inst.
It was laigelv attended and very enthusiastic.—
Every countenance plainly indicated confidence in a
glorious success tbis fall. Many of the members
took the occasion to express tbeir views as to the
fin.il result, not doubting that Seymour and Blair
would be cons'ilurionally elected, in wbich case thev
look the Revolutionary grounds that they would
and should be inaugurated, regardless of any law
i>y the radical congress to tbe contrary, and by the
applause , were endorsed by the entire club. Over
100 members were enrolled at the meeting which
will be largely increased. We have two clubs in
the township, the other called West Nicholson
Democratic Club, outnumbering this. Be assu-cd
(bat Nicholson will make a telling" report this fall,
in behalf of down trodden liberty. Seymour ami
Blair, equal taxation, one currency for all, a white
man's government, and "eternal vigilance," are our
watch words, an) under which wo feel confi lent. we
shall reclaim our rights under the constitution

tracts. The Hoots, licrbs, and Barks
from which these extracts are made
are gathered in Germany. All the
medicinal virtues are extracted from
them by a srleutltlc chemist. These
extracts are then forwarded to this
country to be used expressly for the
manufacture of these Bitters. There
Is uo alcoholic substance of any kind
used iu compounding the Bitters,
hence it is the only Hitters that can
be used in cases where alcoholic stim

mind that these remedies are entirely different from
any others advertised for the cure of lite diseases

extracts, while the others are mere decoctions of rum
tn some form. The T< >NIC is decidedly one of die most

it, while its life-giving, exhilarating, and medtctnal
qualities have caused it to be known as the greatest of

this terrible disease, have been cared
by tile use of these remedies. Extreme

the usual attendants upon severe
cases of dyspepsia or disease of the

genuine Consumption, these remedies
will be found of the greatest benefit,
Strengthening ami invigorating.
DEBILITY.
Vtere is no medicine eqwd to HooflcnuFs German
Bitters or Tonic tn eases of Debility. They impart a

Stomach to digest it. purify the blood, give a good,

from the eye, impart a blo rm tn the cheeks, and change
