A SLIOHT Smash occured yesterday at the j freight depot below till place on the arrival of the > rpress pae.-enger train. Owing to a neglected, mis placed switch tho engine ran off the main track A into some freight cars lying .on the siding. The boiler was Injndcd though rfot enough t& render untiroly useless. Conductor Rho&a thinks he will -are no trouble in running the crippled engine td repair shop at Wilkesbarre. t Hop was had by the railroad employees, at ii. twin's Boarding House, up town, on Wednesday L.cuing last. Several of our townspeople wero to il; i Ito join in the dance with our new down coun friends. With good opportunities for "tripping ,n tbe light fantastic," first-rate music and a •; excellent supper, the affair passed off in a very •athfaetory manner to all present.

The closing up and pneral crash of matter was so very Tike all other .adsr occurrences, that a lively imagination In . reader, will save him the trouble of reading, t'i us tho necessity of giviug, the details. THE PROSPECT FOR I'UCIT, during the coining i- >n. in tliis part of the vineyard, is said to be liatteung. Pevh and other orchard fruits are -.lf. unharmed. We think it about time the peach hereabouts began to do something to save .Missives from the Imputation and fate of cumber • i the ground. Some of our friends had tiegan .are donbts as to whether having trees was a -ing or a curse ; and were threatening to allow .".ryoung George Washingtons and Gen.

A 1 ANIIOOD. —IN THE YOUNG AND RISING IV L generation, the vegetative powers of life are strong but in a iew years how often the palliii hue, ! the lack lustre eye and emaciated form, and tho im ' possibility of application to mental effort, show its baneful influence It soon becomes evident to the observer that some depressing influence is checking the devclopement of the body. Consumption is talk- 1 ed of, and perhaps the youth is removed from school i and seut into the country. This is one of the wor9t movements Removed from ordinary diver>ions of tho ever-changing scenes of the city, the powers of j the body too much enfeebled to give zest to health- j ful and rural exercise, thoughts are turned inwards upon themselves. If the patient be a female, the approach of the j menses is looked for with anxiety, as the first symp- • j torn in which Nature is to show her saving power in • diffusing the circulation and visiting tho cheek with i the bloom of health. Alas ! increase of appetite has ! grown bv v. hat it fed on ; the energies of the system I lue prostrated, and the whole economy is deranged. | 1 The beautiful and wonderful period in which body and 'nind un lergo so fascinating a change from j ! child to woman, is locked for in vain ; the parents i 1 heart bleeds in anxiety, and taceies the grave but ; waiting for its victim L Ilelmbold's Extract liuchu, for Weakness arising : from excess r early indiscretion, attended with the | following symptoms : Indisposition to exertion, Ross j of Power, Loss of Memory Diflicully of Breathing, ! General Weakness, Horror of Disease Weak Nerves j Trembling, Dreadful llorroe of Death. Night Sweats ; Cold Ffcet, Wakefulness, Dimness ot' Vision,Langour j I Universal Lassitude of the muscular System. Olten j j Enormous appetite with Dyspeptic Symptoms. Hot i Hands. Flushing of the Body, Dryness of the skin, j Pallid Countenance and eruptions on the Face, Pain \ in the Dark, Heaviness of the F'yelids, Frequently Black Spots flying before the Eves, with Temporary Suffusions and" Loss of?ight, Want of Attention, Urcat Mobility, Restlessness,with Horror of Society. Nothing is more desirable to such patients than Sol itude, aad Nothing they more dread, for F'ear of Themselves : no Repose of Manner, no Earnestness, no Speculation, but a hurried Transition from one i question to another. ! These symptoms, if allowed to go on—which this ! MeJicine invariably removes—soon follow Loss ot j Power, Fatuity, and Epileptic Fits, in one of which 1 the patient may expire. During the Superintendence of Dr. Wilson at the j Blootniogdale Asylum, this sad result occurred to two patient* ; reason had for ft time left them, and I both died of Epilepsy. They were of both sexes, and 1 about 20 years of age. Who can say that these excesses aro Dot frequent- 1 ly followed by those direful diseases lusaaity and j Consumption I The records of the Insane Asylums, | and the melancholy deaths by Consumption, bear ample witness to the truth of these assertions In Lunatic Asylums the most mef&ncholy exhibition ! appears.

ProbaMy never liefore in the whole history at medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the contldeuce of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaint* Through a long series "of years, and among most of the race* or men it has risen higher and higher in their e.tiiim | tion, us it has become better known. Its uniform clmracter and power to cure the various affection* 1 ol the lungs and throat, have made it known as it re liable protector gainst them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same time Uie most effectual remedy that can be given for incipient consuuipuon, and the dan gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As s pro vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all are sometimes subject to colds aud coughs, all should be provided with till* antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought in curable, still great numbers of cases inhere the dis ease seemed settled, have been comtwktely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete U its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. Whan noth ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pec toral they subside and disappear. Singers and Public Speaker* find great pro tection from it. • Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it. Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses. So generally arc its virtues known that we need not publish the cert, i Urates of them here, or do mors than assure the public that its qualities ore fully maiut&meUs Ayer's Ague Cure, For Fever and ASMS, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilions Fever, fto.. and indeed all the affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasmatto poisons. As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not fall. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in nowise Injures any patient. The number and importance of its cures in the ague dis tricts, arc literally beyond account, and we believe without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate cases, and where other remedies had wholly tailed. L'uacclimatcd persons, either resident in, or travelling through miasmatic localities, will be pro tected by taking the AGUE CURE daily. For fever Complaints, arising from torpidity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity. For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re markable cures, where other medicines had failed. Prepared by DR. J. C.

D McKuwa respectfully announces to the people H Wyoming County, that he has uiadt a specialty oj ofEAYY SILVER PLATING, lor years. Heavy plaiting is much more economical tbxo light. The more Silver put on the goods, the cheaper it is done in proportion to the amount of Silver used. Spoons and Forks, should not be of-less than 16 ox plate— -36 or 43 ox. would be far more economical. Yet 4ox plate is called a good plate by the trade 1 and poor as it is, but a small pirtion of all the goods made come up to this standard. "Ounce {/rate," in platers language means the number of ounces of silver, to the gross of table spoons. All other sur faces aro estimated by these. For example, des. serts are estimated at 3-4 : and tea spoons at 1-2 tha surface of table-spoons. t-ixteen ox. plate is 16 ox*, of fine silver to tbe gross of table-spoons or dining forks, 12 oz. to the gross of dessert spoons or forks aud S oz- to tbe gross of tea-spoons. Thix quality of plate will cost, on the azerage, twice as much as 4 oz and will bare four times the amount of silver on it. Thirty-six 01- plate will cost about three times as much as 4 ox , and will contain nice times the amount of silver on it. Thirty-six ox- plate is the lightest that will allow the engraving on it, of name or initials, without cutting through unto the metal beneath. Forty-eight oz plate will cost about four times as much as 4oz plate, ami will contain 12 times the amount of silver. This plate costs about one-halt as much as solid silverware of ordi dinary weight, and for every day use will be more durable than light, solid silverware Most ot the solid silverware is made much too light to bo dura ble in constant use. The terms "double." "treble" Ac. Ido not use to designute qualities—there being too much ambiguity in their use. All goods, made by me, having my najio and £g ures denoting the oz, plate stamped on them, wUI be guaranteed full weight ot silver on first quality of metal on them.
