And especially Is this so In the mutter of furs and lusts. 'We dropped in at the Messrs. Anewait's, at the corner of Eighth and Hamilton, the other day, and found their store well tilled with buyers. The cause of their success Is very plain : they not only have one o f the most imposing stores in the city, but their stock of goods is in keeping with the structure and their prices are exceeding low. They have an assortment of fors which would do honor to the large stores of the Metropolis, em bracing every (ullity and price. We recommend our lady readers to give them a call before pur chasing elsewhere. A Cireii.v and Managerie Coming Next Friday Allentown will witness one of the grandest sights the world has ever looked upon. It will be no less than the entrance of Bryan's grand conthinallon of circus and mena gerie, which will forma stupendous parade em bracing all the grandeur of oriental splendor. Twenty immense dean, each of them larger and more terrible than the one Daniel went Into. These will contain rare beasts and birds whlch have long since been unknown to onto, such wonders as cows, pigs, pigeons, monkeys, doves, parrots, wild cats, prairie dogs, lions and lionesses, leopards' nod bare bears. Then the circus, that's the at tractive part. Each one of the actors a bright, particular star. All Jupitors and Venuses, and forminglit'llitheful postures a constellation • which, if it were slot for the canvass, would put the starry heavens to shame and they would weep 'copious showers of rain forever hen:ant:l . . It be hooves the people, therefore, not to offend this princely circus company, but to go—go in the af ternoon and In the evening. We intend to go. We like to witness the riding, the vaulting, the stimmersaults. It snakes us young again, reminds us of boyhood days. We like to see the pig and pig-con In friendly accord, the lion lyin' with the lamb-haister, his keeper—we like to see the leo pard change his spots. and the tiger snail and show his teeth. The monkey, too, noble South American, who In accused of brine the inventor of the African race, and therefore of the great rebel lion, be will be there, and Democrats will feed him peanuts and bless him for his creation. Then the clown, we had almost forgotten him. We love to hear him talk about the nigger and the abolition dst, and tell newspaper jokes which we have seen a hundred times, but which sound so funny from his lips. The riding. the vaulting, the jumping, the tombling and bresb-neck performances, the flying trapeze, and all the other attractions are things to 311111,1 . , and scare, and- entertain. Who wouldn't go to the circus 1 Firemen's Parale—Reeepiinn tJ the Laurel Fire Company.

ATTEMI"f TO TH ROW A TRAIN FROM TIM TRACK The Waverly Advocate says that a most vil- Wnons attempt to throw the Lehigh Valley trains front the track between that place and Athens, occurred ou Saturday evening week. The Phila delphia express, on its way up about its o'clock in the evening, ran over a tie which had been placed on the track, about two miles this side Athens. The train passed over it In safety, al though the pilot wan comet, hat damned. The freight train following the express also passed over It, the engineer supposing It to be n plank from a crossing. Ile afterwards backed down his train, found the tie, a hemlock, and brought, It to this place. It was eat and - broomed at the ends where the ears passed over it. Next morning the conductors of these trains made a recommirance with a hand-ear, and fatted two more ties had been placed on the track during the night. Till: NEAltiqiT Itotyru. TO ItUFFAI.O AND CHI "The nearest route to the \Vest 'in Allen town;' The Allentown Route the best," and eindlar expreshlons, stare Into the face of the trav eler in nearly even , depot in the country. In fact Allentown owes a great share of her popularity to the conspicuous position awarded her In railway advertisements. 'these great inducements, how ever, were held out to New Yorkers and Eastern men only, but now we shall soon see another com pany advertising " The shortest and quickest route from Philadelphia to Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Chicago Is elm Allentown," nod this time it One by way of' the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The road has been opened for travel such a short time that we suppose the company is tint ready to make 11111111 blow over the great Inducements they hove in hand. Already through freight from Chi cago has been brought over this road and we know of business men going from Philadelphia to Buf falo over this route to sire time. It is a cartons coincidence, says the Doyles town Democrat, that the majority for Bonn when he ran for DiArict Attorney wits 566—and his ma jority now for Judge, In this county, It MlD—still more singular is it that the DO is his exact majori ty in his own borough; which Is 66 higher than that given for Packer for Governor. Stranger still It it, that adding his 599 majority In Bucks, to his 1177 in Moulgrimery—cmotitutes the his torical figure of glorious 1776 ! Very curious, indeed. We suppose the 1776 teas Intended to remind Judge floss of the great founder of the Copperhead party, Benedict Arnold. Norristown merchants are annoyed by loafing loungers who congregate M front of their stores. Ditto, Doylestown. More ditto. Allentown. A copperhead daily in Easton, overcome by dis appointment oevasioned by Packer's defeat, has died and liven laird. Peace to Its ashes. May its publishers erect a monument over Its grave which he a warming to future venturesome journalints that the penalty for .tskingDemucrats to mid more than once a Week is 'death. 'Men and women both favor the whisky-ring, lint they very sensibly divide It between them—the I men tithing the whisky and the women the'ring. A letter from Europe states that Prof. A.

'Mr. Spengler is the vial of a farmer of Northampton county. The scenery In the mount:du regions belug very lovely at prment, home or our country editors ore getting quite poetic over It. Lehigh Valley Railroad stock haft declined to $52 per share. One of the railroads of Oda Slate which prOmises to loom up high in the future is the North Pennsylvania. Although the route front Philadelphia to Allentown, for a through coal hearing road, in about the poorest that could have been 'elected, and has presented obstacles which would not have been encountered by a road built through the Perk Mitten and Sehttylkill Valleys, the North Pennsylvania Company is making such rapid progress to a. place among our tlrst•elttsn roads, and is theetlng,with such financial success, that the months of Its molt active cavilers are closed henceforth. As au indication of the esti nmtiou In which It is held by men of means, we might elte the fact that Its stock. now sells at $3B per share, and, considering lh that not a single cash dividend has ever bee t rehired, the I price is encouraging. We know of no railroad which is managed with truer economy and in which the Interests of both stockholder and bond holder are more studiously held in view. It has hod innumerable disadvantages tool mishaps thrown in the way of Its success, but noder Its careful Quaker managr , ment It has weathered them all. When we speak. of its eronomical management we don't mean they have run their ears and locomotives, anti used rails, until they could be used no longer, but the rule of " pay na .you gp" has been the rule of the Company.

IMPORTANT SUIT TERMINATED We notice in the list of patents issued for the week ending September 28, 1800, three granted to Mr. H. W. Harper, of Berlinsville, all being an te-dated March 20, 1867. The grant of these pat ents to Mr. Harper terminates the contest between that gentleman and Stinson Ilagaman, Mr. Kesler ■nd Mr. Coffin, which was commenced as early as March, 1807. Ten claims in all have been allowed to Mr. Harper, among which may be enumerated the following, which are promiment, owing to their broad and sweeping character:—First—Two horizontal grinding disks revolving In contrary• directions In combination with bars, or their equi valents, for holding the slates. Second—A revolv ing wheel for holding the elates in combination with an overlapping grinding or polishing wheel. Third—The combination of two vertical polishing wheels with a bar for supporting the slates. Fourth A revolving disk with polishing or grinding blocks arranged apart from each other, In combination with a revolving disk or bed for con taining lb cobject to be ground. Fifth—The ad instability of the said blocks. While some minor claims for specific devices not included in the controversy were allowed to his opponents, the broad claims have been granted to Mr. Harper, whose Ingenuity and Industry have be en thus turdlly rewarded. The couteet was conducted on behalf of Mr. Harper, by MesEirs. Howson & Son, of Philadelphia, and we consider him very fortunate In having secured their services, as they are a firm of energy, ability and experi ence, having been engaged In Moat of the more important patent cases that have been tried in this country. LETTER FROM CLANSSVILLE. CLAUSSVILIII, October 23th, 1869. The corn husking is very nearly finished all ore the country. On a tour of Inspection we passed through Lynnville, Jacksonville, New Tripoli, Saegersville, Lyon Valley. We found the people busy making.cider, others making apple whisky, which Is manufactured very extensively In this part of the country. Oue corn husking snatch took place ou Thursday night, October 21st, in Lyon Valley, near Bittner's Mill, on Hollenbash's farm. A gay party o wns present, and cure cobs flew. We have had pretty heavy frosts here of late; chestnuts have fallen greatly In price. They bring only $3.00 per bushel here. That's what the storekeepers pay. Potatoes are rather plenty. They were still en gaged in inking them out last week. (Around the place where I live, or In Its vicinity, if I take an average, there must be near 25,000 bushels.) On Friday evening, October 22d, the Debating Society of Weisenburg held their weekly debate at Solomon Rupp's sehool house. The question wan, " Resolved, that reading tends more to knowledge .than doesltraveling." Reading was victorious. We had ice on Thursday morning about a quar ter or an Inch thick, and steer the Blue mountains still heavier. On • Monday next all the schools that have teachers will he opened, and now that corn husk lug and potatogathering are sit a close, the attend ance will be full. On Friday afternoon and evening is husking match took place at Bittner's farm, below Fry's store. Oh, ho! did not the boys and girls wade inknee deep. Fifty-seven huskers were present. At the election Jacob Zimmerman, Sr., was re elected 'Squire, which position he lute held for the last 25 years. Jett. EMAIUM. NEW RRECIHD-PROPHRTY /141,11N-T111!

" Nothing no difficult an a beginning poesy, unless perhaps the end." Your correspondent agrees with Byron, in this. Ile goes on, " For oftentimes when Pegasus seems winning the race, he sprains a wing and down we tend." This Is also very true. Our experience tclle on that our numb slandered poet.-in spite of Harriet's talk—has expressed in fitly words many thoughts of the world's and has beautified many'. truths forwhich to-day we read and revere his name. • In speaking of Byron (general newspaper talk), I will mention the fact that In the Parliament ot the Harvard Law School, this question was ably debated "whether the charge against the char acter or Lord Byron no . preferred by Harriet Beecher Stowe, should receive any credit or whether there was any legal evidence of Its va. ; N . wEDN1,;,.,1)"._ pity."

The city of Catobridge'le situaia, as by looking on the map you will see, on a Feign/ilia, about a stone's throw from the capitol of this State.

It comdoic of a breast work, about five feet high, thrown up from the Immediate vicinity. The embraattres may have worn away some and the ditch at may MOllle time have been deeper, but even nnw It digdays a good sample of military engineering and reminds the visitor of the works thrown up around and about Harrisburg during the war. It was a three gun . water battery, used during the siege of Boston and was abandoned at the evacuation. About twelve years ago some enterprising and enthusiastic per sons petitioned city and State governments and ob tained an appropriation, used for the purchasing of flag stall', fence, gums; etc. The land was given by the owners; the fence consists of battle axes and spears for rails and cannon for posts, erectsti around about an acre of ground, In the Centre of which stands a flag stair 100 feet high. Three 50 pounder guns ate placed at the embrasures: these arc pointed at a great elevation Ilud respectively threaten the Stale House, Bunker Hlll and a prominent building in Boston.

Only - one het earth work rentalm‘ which protected Cambridge la 1775. That Is the work which is known as =ZOE= Situate on the corner of Putnam and Franklin streets. Until the cit y authorities decided to extend Franklin street, the work was as entire as when the patriots of '76 left it. Now only two sides and one corner of It remain. This In however sant dent to give the visitor an Idea or whoa it once was. lam Informed that in a short time several houses are to be erected on it, 60 it In safe to con clude that this land mark of the Revolution will loon be obliterated. Probably the largest and most Important work In Cambridge was built by Clem Putman In East Cambridge.
