A man is never in a more happy mood than after
eating a good dinner.
Something to remember. It our merchants nod
business men', who are receiving large supplies of
new goods, Ac. desire to sell them, and realize
their money in a short time, they must advertise.
Lei the people know what you've got. and. when
they "want an article, they'll always know where
i-a get it. .Besides, they know that men who ad
vertise are.' liberal, and will sell at lower rates
than a poor miserable devil who id afraid of a

you dut'tel leave until the truing adjourned.-
Ah, Billy, you're a sly one!
Shotting affair. We learn that a difficulty oc
curred at a corn husking, in .Chest townshipj

jPearce was shot in the shoulder. A young man
panicd Davis, and a young Pennington, got into a
squabble, when Davis pulled out a pistol and shot
'at Pennington, but ..missed binj and shot Mr.
Pearce; who was taking no part in the matter
whatever:1 ' It -was , an unfortunate oecurrance.-
. Mr., Pearce is still living, ' though dangerously
wounded. The corn husking was on the farm of
Ir. James Cnrry. -1 1 - ...

The Kazok-stroi" Max. This remarkuble
indivi iual has recently been forced into re
newed notoriety, by reason of a charge madj
against bim that he was n member of t!ic Fro.e
Love Leagnc. This 'imputation lib indignant
ly denies in the following characteristic letter
to tho X. Y.. Express :'lt is asserted in an
article ,in Tuesday's Express, that I belong to
an association of Free Lovers, which-meets
in the Dowry. I positively deny tlie truth, of
such an assertion. It is true, I Lelong to an
association of respectable lidies and gent'.e
meu who- meet to inve&tigato the phenomena
of Spiritualism ; but to my knpwlexlge, not one
of thorn is tinctured in thy least with the free
love mania. As fcr myself, instead of a Fice
Lover,' 1 :im a 'bound lover,' having baen
joined in wedlock some twenty years; and as
yet I have had no pissional attraction strong
enough to sever th s cord which binds me to
the atEnity of my youth. I have never yet
be.ni aLla to tind an more of the same sort.'
IIz.vht Sumi, Razor-strop Man.
JlDCE B.vRKtTT. Wc clip tliii following ac
count .of Mr.' Barrett's election from the
''Honesd-ile Democrat." .
Mr. George Ii. BanvU's .mjon'ty for Presi
dent Jude is in the neighborhood of 3.000.
lie was the regular nouiiu ited candidate. His
competitor was Mr. Thomas S- Bell, a volun
teer. In Carbon county Mr. Bell was suppor
ted by the whigsand know nothings. In Mon
roe county Mr. Barrett received the votes of
the whigs and know nothings, and was oppos-'
ed by a considerable split from the Democrat
ic party." In Pike county the whigs and know
nothings went in for Mr. Bell, and had some
Democratic help. In Wayne count', most of
the whigs and know nothings voted for. Mr,
Barrett, though a small portion of them,, in
conipanv with some of thi Democrats, "went
for Mr. Bell. ' ." .
More Fobkigx Outrages. On the 17th
instant, a body of armed Irishmen tore down
the bridges, on the Brantford Kail Head, and
would not permit the cars to pass and on the
18th, at a ward election in the city of Balti
more the foreigners and a band of native row
dies attempted to drive the Americans from
the polls. All this is a matter of course these
aliens, many of whom are fresh from the pris
ons of Europe,- have been flattered and tickled
up by the locofoco press, until they really be
lieve tho country was made for them and
since they were shielded and justified by these
demagogues, for murdering peaceable and un
offending citizens in cold blood at Louisville,
they defy all law, and burn, destroy aud mur
der, as though "natives to the manor born,"
bad no claim on life or property.
Dallas for the Presidexct. Tlvo Wash
ington correspondent of the Xew York Times
gays "the friends of Hon Gkobge M. Dallas
for the Presidency are moving steadily, si
lently and cautiously, in his behalf; and al
ready the movement is far more : formidable
than th friends of rival candidates suppose. r
Prudent and skillful politicians are laying the
wires in each section of the Union ; and every
measure calculated to s?curo success, which
can bo initialed t this early day, is being
availed of. JUe "friends of Mr., Buchanan,
however, have taken the alarm,, and are en
deavoring to get him home again, early as
possible, to command his own ; forces in
person.." , ; . ;
' Sportimq Women. A match game of bil
liards for $3000 is to be played in Xew Or
leans soon, between two Creole , ladies of the
"first respectability." These women are said
to have fcw eqnals at the game, even among
gentlemen., in the United Stales.
Eauly Sleigiii.no. The citizens' of Shrews
bury, York county, Pa., and that vicinity,, en
joyed tlw rare spirt of sleighi ng on Suturda',,
it being pronounced by those engaged in it as ,
most excellent. ' '
Well Again. We are glad to announce
that Dr. A. M. Hills has entirely recovered

Ths cans and jais arc constructed with a chan

a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
and allowed to harden. In order to seal the ves

by -those celebrated aurists, Drs. Cramer,' of Ber

Vearsly of lndon. as being the MOST WONDER
FUL and EFFECTUAL ever applied for diseases
of the internal nn4 middle car. l'r. LeB., WAR

of cures from thosa who had been DEAF AND

tored find arc now enabtoJ to learn the language.
The names of 2.700 persons who have been cured
by Dr. I.cB., may be seep on Kpylicstion. Pa

have remedies sent to' any part of the United
States.

TEST I MO XV. The undersigned practition
cis in medicine in the city of New York, having
had frequent occasion to witness the practice of
Drs. LeBrunn Riid Diifton, in diseases of the Ear
and Eye. laying aside all professional jealousy,
freely admit, that the course pursued by them in
treating diseases of these delicate organs, from the
tmp trntli-le l .tufce.s atten-iiiiftit, is well worth the
attention of our professional brethren throughout
the United States, feeling assured as we do, that
Aural Surgery has not met with that attention
which its importance demands. Their system of
treating diseases of the middle and internal Ear,
by " Mrdicul Yttp'ir.t,"1 particularly in chronic or
complicated cases, forms a new era in the practice
of Aural Surgery; such cases yielding in almost
'V-'ry int a we to this neic and pnirerfnl agent.
This practice fills up a void nhicb has lonz been
felt by the general practitioner, enabling nim to.
rope sitrres fully trith every ease where perfect
formation exists. '
In diseases of the Eyo. they seldom require
resort to the operation.
As skillf'il Aurists and Oculists, enthusiastically
devoted to their profession, we cordially recom
mend them to such as may require their aid
