Bears. We understand that a couple "bru
ins" were killed during the last week in Brad
ford township, this county. One, we are told,
weighed 4Q0 lbs.
The Effects of the "bard times" are be
ginning to show themselves plainly in this
county. Business of all kinds is very dull,
and there is a general disposition to contract
operations. The prospects for our lumbermen
mre rather poor, and the chances are that but
alight business will be done next spring. At
present the saw mills are nearly idle; indeed.
we do not know a single mill in all this region
that is sawing lumber to take to the lower
market.

Tub REsrir of opk Panic is Exglaxd.
The Europa, which brings our latest dates,
ailed on the 10th, on that day the Persia had
arrived at Liverpool, her advices announcing
the suspension of the Rhode Island, Philadel
phia and Maryland banks which was merely
the beginning of the troubles on this side.
The news of what followed, culminating in the
suspension of the New York banks, the fail
ure of a number of leading railroads, and the
general smash up among merchants, would
not reach there until some two weeks later,.
and we shall have to wait some time before wc
learn the full effect of all our disasters upon
the puplic mind of England and Europe. The
first item of news, however, that to which we
have alluded above the mere harbinger of
disasters which no one there had yet anticipa
ted produced the greatest excitement in all
quarters, and on that day the 10th led to a
general suspension of business in Liverpool
and London.
Must Come Down. A New York exchange
says t les, fellow citizens, rents must come
down. The hicrh rates of the flush times ct
1856 cannot long co-exist with the levcllin
tendencies of the revulsion of 1857. Rents
must come down fast borse3 must come down-
fast young men must come down from their
rt horses, and stretch their legs by a little
wholesome walking. Provisions must come
down hotel charges must come down the
pew as well as other charges of our fashiona
ble churches must come down bread must
nm down, and the late enormous spread of
crinolines must come down, notwithstanding
the awful letting down in dry goods. Every
luxnry and almost every necessity must come
to the new specie standard excepting perhaps
lager beer, which will probably remain at four,
fire and six cents a mug.
Advick to Grumblers. Mind your own
business. Attend church and live up to the
rales laid dowa by the preacher. "Love thy
neighbor as thyself." Don't fret. Take
things coolly. Pay your debts, not forgeting
the printer. Finally be an honest man, and
when you go home kiss your ,wife, but don't
epank the babies. If you do all of these, a
ray of happiness will penetrate info your here
tofore darkened soul.
X. B--If you havn't got a wife of your
mm. kiss somebody's daughter. And if you
can't kiss somebody's daughter then what ?
H7An anchor to windward. The eight
savings banks of New York eity, have on de
posit an aggregate of twenty cine millions of
dollars. This is "something for a rainy day,"
and will go a good way ta keep poor people
iom starving the coming winter.

TnE IIarrisbubq Telezravh savs : We ob
serve that some of our cotemporaries labor un
der the mistake that the State has been sub
jected to a heavy expense for the late extra
session of the Legislature. This is not the
case. The Mate has actually made some $40,
000 by the operation, which the banks are ob
liged to pay, over and above lhe exnensM in
curred. By a provision in the Relief Bill the
banks will have to pay a tax of one-fourth of
one per cent, on their capital stock, on or be-
lore tne urst day xr January next, in addition
to tho taxes now paid by them. This will
bring In some $02,000, whilst the expenses of
the Legislature have been only about $21,000.
The Stato will thus make tho balance clear
profit. So, after all, in a pecuniary point of
iew, me r.xtra session has not been a bad op
eration.
