fcive notice, that there will be preaching in
the Baptist Church of this place,' by the
Rev. J. R. Shanafelt, on next Sabbath at
iialf past 2 o'clock in the afternoon and early

DnY. The dearth of local materials still
continue?, and is almost to impossible to
hunt up the wherewith either to amuse or
instruct our readers. Unless there is an im
provement in our town soon, we shall hare
to care. We don't mind drinking out of an
empty jug occasionally ; but to be compell
ed to do so continually is rather dry work.
Krai. Estate tor Sale. The Executors
of the estate of Cornelian ReinbolJ, late of
Columbia county, deceased, offer lor sale
in the Star a Tract of land containing one
hundred and ten acres, with necessary build
ings. This sale will take place on Saturday,

ises in Locust township. The land is val
uable, the larger portion of it being cleared
and in a good state of cultivation.
Are Tou Assessed?
Democratic voters ! if you have any donbts
about your name being to the assessoi's list,
go and see to it without delay. It is often
the case that even the names of old resi
dents are inadvertently left off the list
Kemember that all who desire to rote on
the 9th of October next, must be assessed
ten d.-ys before the election.
Fisuerhen's Hotel This is the name
of a public house, under the supervision of
Mr. Ezekiel Cole, located in Snarloaf twp.,
Columbia county, close by Big Fishing
creek, and upon the public road. Mr. Cole
keeps a tolerably good hotel for that sec
lion of country it does first rate. - He has a
handsome new house, aud from what we
know is doing a snug business. The most
important items about a public house are
these : good beds, good and plenty of eata
lies and drinkables; all of which can be
found at the Fishermen's Hotel, and thai of
the first order. .Those going iu his direction
will please give him a call.
Congressional tonferenee.
We have been credibly informed that the
Congressional Conferees of this District,
composed of the Counties of Wyoming, Lu
zerne. Colombia and Montour, will meet at
the Exchange Hotel, in this place, on Fri
day next, for the purpose of maki&g a Con
gressional nomination. There will be three
candidates before the Conference, Hon. Geo.
Scott, Hon H. B. Wright, and W. M Piatt,
Esq. We will not speculate any in this no
tice as to the chances for a nomination of
either of the candidates. Nominate a good
man and be can be eiected this fall without
a doubt. We'll trust in the deliberations of
this body.
- Abcse or Pcbuc Mm.-plf those who are
daily railing the President, or some mem
ber of his Cabinet, find themselves likely
to exhaust their stock of invectives, they
can renew their supply by the study of cer
tain productions of their predecessors in
, the same vile business. In a publication
now before us, issued in 1800,. we find
WASHINGTON charged with having "em
bezzied the public money," with being
"knowingly oeriured " being 4,a hvpocrite,,:
ana wuu uaring - cicnuceu iuo ucaieei
rights of his country ;" while the incumbent
President was assailed for "having comple
' led the scene of isnominv which Washing

ready made, and quite as ingenious as any
' which now blacken the pages of the Re
publican press.

help in the preparation and decision of
caes.' 'For the sake of my country and

RAYMOND'S FAMILY
SEWING M AC H TN E !
PATENTED MARCH 9, 1858.
TRICE $10 RATH.
Tf E8SR3. ZUPP1NGER & ROBBINS, of
- Bloomsburg, having purchased the ex
clusive right of the above valuable I in pro
ved Chear Patent Sewing Machine, for
the County of Columbia, will be happy to
supply their friends with the article tor the
accommrdationof themselves and lamilies.
The following are 6ome of the superior
advantages ibis implement possesses, viz:
1. It sews from 400 rb 600 tight stitches
per minute. . ' .
2. Double thread Machines ate from the
more complicated character ol their mech
anism invariably managed aud tl readed
with more or less difficulty ; not so with
RAYMOND'S, a child can manage it ir. two
hours, and it is threaded easier thaa a com
mon needle.
3. One of the most valuable features of
this Machine, is the smallness and the
compactness of its mechanism.
4. It can be attached to a board, table or
stand, in operating order, and removed in
less than half a minute.
5. It greatly economizes tfvthread, and
yet produces a seam, sufficiently strong for
any work tor which it is intended, a qual
ification not known to all kinCs of Sewing
Machines.
6. No human hand is capable of produ
cing a seam so regular and systematic.
The seam is so strong if well done, that the
strongest material wilt tear before the
seam will give way.
7. Among Ihe array of Pa'ent Sewing
Machines, there are none so cheap and
durable as Raymond's Patent, but no Ma
chine is adapted to all kinds ol work as
experience has proven. There are perhaps
none so realy useful, doing such a variety
of wore for the immediate use of the fam
ily circle, and at such a moderate price as
RAYMOND'S PATENT.
8. The operator can shape his seam just
as he pleases, waves, leaves and flowers,
etc., can be represented or imitated.
9. It is particularly adapteu to all kinds
of stitching such as gentlemen's shirts,
bosoms, ristbands, collars, etc., and all
kinds of ladies' sewing, including silks,
lawns, delaines, calicoes, dusters, etc., ex
cepting for men'sheavy wear, this Machine
is rather too light oi construction.
10. But we all admit, that the advantage
to health, and principally to the vision or
eyesight, induced by il.e use of Sewing
Machines, surpasses infiuitely all oiher ad
vantages. 11. This Machine fastens the seam al
ways itself, but if the . operator wishes it
unfastened or open, there' is a way lor it
too, thus you can have it fastened or not,
as you please, which is, sometimes, espe
cially for beginners, a very favorable cir
cumstance. If the seam is leit unfastened,
yon can draw it out in three seconds and
save the thread. '
For f ale by the ondersigned, at their re
spective residences, in Bloomsburg, who
will put the Machine in operation and give
all necessary instruction. .
