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

creation, and often so puzzle us gentremen.

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. The Confederates have
again securedjhe Biltimore and Ohio Rail
road Rebel Gen. Early is coming in force
towards Hagerstown. The Colombia coun
ty army may soon get marching orders to
go and defend the ruins of Chambersburg.

OWING to the very high price of Coffee,
and the great difficuliy in procuring a good,
uniform and reliable article our customers
have often expressed tvish that they
could be supplied Irom first hands. It was
the in ten i ion "cf .
The Great American Tea Company,
to do a strictly Tea business, but as we
have had some customers living at a dis
tance that" have relied upon us to supply
them exclusively with Tea and Coffee, it
being inconvenient from tbem tocorne to
New York, Tne Great Tea Coffee Empo
r'mm of this country and as our Tea Tas
ter was possessed of information relating
to a Cofiee that could be furnished at a
moderate price, "and ivn universal satis
faciion, and at the same time afford the
retailer a handsome profit we have been
compelled to eupplv those parties. 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. We
will therefore send it to those who may or:

It i fa-t SUPERSEDING ALL OTHER
COFFEES. 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. This method of putting
il U saves Irom 2 to 5 cents per pound lo
the customer, and bv its being in aMarge

What Everybody Knows, viz:
That iron well galvanized will not rust.
That a simple machine is better than a
complicated one. That a Wringer should
be self-adjusting, durable, and efficient.
That Thumb screws and Fastenings cause
tlIay and trouble to reaulttte .and keep in
order. That wood soaked in hot water
will swell, shrink and split. That wood
bearings foi the shaft to run in will wear
out. That the Putnam Wringer, with or
withoo' cog wheels.wil! no! !e.r the clothes.
That cog wheel reaulators are not essen
tial. Thi the Putnam Wringer has all the
advantages, and not one of the disadvan
tages above i.amed. That all who have
tested it , pro:ioince it the b st Wrinwpr
ever made. Tt at it will wring a THREAD

We might fill the paper with testimoni
als, but in.-ert only a few to convince the

all, test Putnam's Wiinger. Tent it thor
oushly with any and all others, and if not
entirely satisfactory, retnrn it.

Gentlemen I know from practical
experience that iron well galvanized with
zinc will not oxidize or rust one particle.
The Putnam Wringer is as near perfect a
pcssible, and I can cheerfullj recommend
it to be ihe best in use.

We have lested Putnam's Clothes Wring

VOLUMES I AND II NOW READY.
This truly National Work characterized
by a leaJma Journal as the "Paraxon of
Histories." has now laken its placn in -lit
erature a the History par excellence, of
the Great Rebellion. It has received (as
will be seen bv reference to the letters and
notices subjoined) the endorsement of the
leading men and he leading journals of
the country. It is commended by those
mot qualified to judge, as such a Record
of the Ri.e, Progress and Resuhs of the
War for the Union as every Intelligent
citizen should posess.
As title indicates, its covers the ground
of the. 7ehellion, as well in its Political
and Social as in it Military aspects. It
deala in chronologic order, with the open
and the secret movements for Secession in
the several Stales ; it 'comprehends the
proceeding-: of the procee.Ja ol the Mont
gomery Convention and cf the Confederate
State' Congress : all proceedings in the
Federal Congress relating to the questions
ol Secession and Rebellion, giving lull re
ports of the great Debates, Resolutions,
Repoits &c , all the Messasas, Proclama
tions, &c. of the President ; thus proving a
Complete compendium of the political
phases of the attempted revolution.
As a recoid of the stupendious Military
and Naval Feature' of the Rebellion, it
will be all thai could be desired full, au
thentic and graphic leaving nothing un
said which is necessary to render it the
be-t and most satisfactory History of th
War lor the Union which will be presetted
for the patronage of the American People.
Most of two volumes will be devoted to the
Operations of the array and Navy. As

three Super Royal octavo volumes, ofabout
6000 pages each beantilnlly printed, in
double columns, from specially prepared
type. TWe amount of mailer in each vol

along throngn ihe year.
The work can only be had of llie'cah

THE Greatest Improvement yet in the
Sewing Machine Art. A curiosity worth
seeing.
Please send for circular with sample of
sewing.
Tteese Improved Machines save one
hundred per cent, of thread and silk, and
make the lock stitch alike on both sides.
They require no instructions to operate
perfectly, except the "printed directions."
No change in sewing from one kind of
goods to another.
And no takmg apart to clean or oil.
Our New Manufactory is now complete,
with all its m-tchinery and tools entirely
new, and is already rapidly turning out
Machines, which for beauty and perfection
o finish are not surpassed by an manufac
ture in the world.
N. B. Shoilld any Machine prove unsat
isfactory, it can be returned and irhoney
refunded.
Agents wanted in counties not canvassed
