Aht person baring a fine, thrifty shoal to 'all for the cash, can fiad a purchaser by calling at this office Thi corn and buckwheat crop are going to be good from prehent appearances, in this section. The y ield will be more than an average one. John Kety, of this place, and member of the 1 1 2th Heavy Artillery, wa killed, a hort time since,in front ot Petersburg, while on'picket daty. Hom.JohmC. Klu3, one of oar efficient and working' Democratic Members at Har risborg, will please accept our thinks for docaruentary favors. - David Lowenbekg, Esq., of this place, bas left for Chicago, as a Delegate from this Congressional District, to the National Democratic Convention, which will con vene on Monday next. A great deal de . pends npon the deliberations of that body. Li tor. C. B.'Bhockway arrived home, at this place, last week, on furlough, and at present is lying quite ill with fever. He bas seen' hard work all spring and summer, with the armv of the Potomac, in front of Petersburg, having participated in all the 'flank movemenis".raade by that army in gaining its present "base of operations." The fool that turns the crank of the up town hand organ bad a good deal to say about McOMan huntina a "base." How is it with Grant ? Has he yet found one ! We tbie week commence a new -year of the Stab, since our revival of its publica tion on the 19th of An'u"t'lat The Vol cme ends on the 27th of Oct. next A great many of our present 'patrons commenced anew on the 19th of Augost last, and as "their year tas expired, it is proper that we should call their attention to the fact that . srrbscriptions have raised, and that we can afford to take nothing less than two collars is advance, or two dollars and fiy cent il not paid within three months. Lincoln time have driven o to this. Oh for a re turn of those good old Buchanan days ! Another Fire. On Friday morning last, at half tpast iVclock, a firo broke out in a ftiable owned by Jacob E"an,and occupied 'by Abraham Long, in ' East Bloomsburg, which soon spread to the adjoining stables, some four in number, belonging to Snyder & Men denhal!, Samuel Gross, and Samuel . Melick, whieh were totally destroyed with their contents, consisting of straw and hay. The stables were ll frame, in tolerably pood condition, with no insurance upon them There was no live stock lost save two fine hogs belonging to Samuel Melick. Abraham Long and Samuel Gross bo! h lose a lot of fine hay. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Loss proba bly fifteen hundred dollar. Thosb Abolitionists who rode in buggies, in the wake of the Army np Fishingcreek, on Sunday morning last, might adapt a bet ter plan to show" their loyalty, by. strapping on the knapsack and shouldering the trios ket ! The cowardly sneaks ; if the army had Wen marching up in front of Peters burg, before formidable entrenchments, or a stubborn enemy, these skulkers and hangers-oo-behind would not have been within several hundred miles ot the army ! It they thought the army was going to at tark harmless and inoffensive citizens, men who are not in rebellion as they would have vou believe, and men who are not armed, then they the Abolitionists are 'on band, well they are ! Si'garloaf township has got rid of some Abolition preaching, although wado not approve of the manner in which the citi zens of that township accomplished so much. Every preacher iu the country should be civilly invited out of the Pulpit when he disgraces the church and his po sition with Abolition harangues. .If that was the case with Mr. Eyer, who it is said preaches, prays and prates Abolition doc trine strongly in and out of the Pulpit, it may be that the people of Sugarloaf were justifiable in adopting the quickest and sor et mode of getting rid of him. Their inten tion was simply to frighten him so that be would never show his face there again, Which from all appearances they have ef fectually done. We do not read of Paul or Peter running away through fears of chas tisement or persecution ! Rev. Mr. Eyer is Lot ao Apostle ! It would teem that at the last draft one John Hartmam vas drafted in Hemlock township there being two John Hartmans In the township and it is claimed by cer tain parties that the John Hartman drafted was marked ''29 year of age" on the en tailment list. This no doubt is the case - Every man's age i put down on the enroll rnent list. But how is it on the 'Ticket," which is drawn from the wheel, is Lis age marked upon that ? The "Ticket" should ehjw, either by name or age, which of the two John Hartmans was drafted. The young man Hartman claims to have a middle let ter in hi name. In the nine monthVdraft biVnama cttaa out of the box John Hart man, jr , which he answered to, although his right name is John S. Hartman. As yet there has been no evidence produced, thai the "Tickei'Mrawn was marked Johi: Hart, man, jr", or John S. Hartman. It is only claimed that the "enrollment list wa" mark ed 23 years of age." The whole mutter is qahe fogsy and needs a good" deal of brush ing away before the case will gfve entire eaiiifactioa to all concerned. Thk Pkicc of Papbr. The Bellow Falls Times thinks that there is no necessity for the present high price of piintiag paper, and say- that some of the papers in the northern part of tt.e State have suggested that the newspaper publishers in ihat Slate should combine and own or build mills of their owu. It says further, if this matter had been seriously put forth only a few weeks ago, a mill could have been secured at a very reasonable price and on easy terms, and paper could have teen obtained aT a C08t of less than 16 cents per ponnd, which is 14 cents less than is now being asked for it. " - . The Printing Office of the Valley Spirit, at Chambersborg, was entirely destroyed by the fire which laid waste that town on the 3 1st nit!, under the vindictive orders of the Rebel general McCajjsland. The publishers have lo-t all except theirwearing apparel; and are compelled to appeal to their friends at home and abroad for assistance in re-establishing their business. The Spirit was a staunch and able Democratic paper, and the party cannot afford to do wHhoot hs services in the present crisis. We hope the Democracy of Franklin county and of the State at large will contribute liberally toward making up the heavy loss the pub lishers have sustained, so that the publica tion of the paper may be resumed at the earliest possible day. We shall be happy to act aa the Agent for forwarding to our unfortunate editorial brethren any donations which cur Democratic friends ir Blooms burg and thouguout our county may be in clined to make for thdir relief. Tut Lady's Friend for September. A touching steel engraving, called "The blind Piper," opens the September number of the Lady's Friend This is followed by the usual double steel Fashion . Plate, richly, colored. By the way, we note that one of the ladies ,c the Plate i- wearing the Rus- sian boot, with high heel, now so popular in PiYis. Then follow the usual nnmernns engravinss of ladies' and children's fash ions, which so delight the fairer portion of creation, and often so puzzle us gentremen. The muic of this number is. "Who Speaks First V' a Gallop. The literary contributions are a varied and interesting as usual including '-One of Many," by Aunt Annie; "A Spinster's Story;" "Cousin Winifred;" 'Pauline's Vision;" ' Firt and Last;" "Let ty Hague;" ''The Transformed Village " (which we now see is by Mrs. Henry Wood); My Blind Hero;" "Shadow and Sunlight ?' &.

A Grab for 500,000 Poor 3Icn. Republicans as well as Democrats regard ! and speak of Lincoln's draft proclamation for 500,000 more as a grab after poor men And thev may well say so, lor it i not ex- . pected, nor was it intended lo catch ti e , rich, who if drafted can readily give S15U0 : or 2000 for substitutes, while the poor man however good his charncter, or numerous his Iriends, has no chance lor escape. Lincoln and hi Cabinet have influenced Congress to strike out the 300 commuta tion provision. If the substitute clause had also been done away wi'h, then the lich and poor able bodied men between 20 and 45 would have fared alike ; hnt Lincoln & Co., don't want ihat Their doctrine is that all the fighting should be done by poor men, just as if the life of a poor man is no? so sr.cred and valuable to himself, his fath er mother, children, brother, iters and friends, as the rich man is to his. The limy of the fttociuc. . Gen. Grant has from present appearances abandoned the siege of Petersburg. He is Hanking stout on (he r.or'.h side of the James River, ome ten miles or more from the bone of contention, Richmond ! The canal is yet being dug. Gen. Warren marched his corps towards the Weldon railroad a few days sincefonnd a rebel force, engaged it, and lost heavily. Gen. Sheridan bas abandoned Winches ter, and Gen. Averill has left M trtinsburg. The Federal troops have retreated in line to the Potomac. All quiet up Fishingcreek, at present wri.ing.

It was the in ten i ion "cf .

THIS COFFEE HAS BECOME SO POPULAR with our customers and their sales have increased to such an extent that we have been compelled o make lare additions to our machinerj, which will enable us to supply a few more cust mers with it.

Tht coffee has been used lor more than a century in Paris, and since its introduction into this country, it has been in use by Nnrao of the leading French Restaurants here The Parisians are said to be the best judges of coffee; and (he great favor iu.which it is hel l by them is the best recommendation that can be pro duced for its fine flavor and healthy effects upon the human system. We put up but one grade of this coffee, and that i of a quality that our cifrsionners have found from experience will give per fect satisfaction and mee' all the demands ol their trade. It is the lowest price that we Tan commend. We do all our business on the most ex tensive scale, buy by the cdTno and sell at only two cenis er pound profit. We put up this coffee in barrels o,,ly, of 125 pounds each.
