able weather during the present month. A
- greater part of it has been comparatively mild
' and present. The fore part of last week was
'." more like a spring month than January. Un-
" der the genial influence of the sun, vegetation
began to show signs of reviving vitality, and
aeveral of our tarmers told ns they were plow
ing fallows. Wc may, however, have to make
up tor it after awhile. An old adage says :
, '. ' '"If grass grows in Janivecr,
- It grows the worso for't all the year."

TBE CCRWEX3VILLE SAX2-U0R. iSAXD gave
a free concert on New Years' night, in the
Fresbvterian church in Curwensville; which
was a rather fine affair. The performances of
"the Band elicited the approbation of all pres
' nt, and at the conclusion of the concert the
ladies (God bless 'cm) presented a collection
. of fine cakes and a purse containing $10, as a
mark of their esteem to the band. Gen. Pat
..' ton made a few neat and appropriate remarks
on behalf of the fair donors, and was respond-
d to in quite a felicitous manner by Thomas
tioss, Esq., President of the Band. All were
highly delighted with each other, with theni-
, selves awl with the performances. X.

3Ib. Editor: The Democracy of Elk held
a Connty Meeting in Ridgway during their rc-
. cent Court week, at whic.j some rich perforin
aroces came off. After organizing, delegates
to the Democratic State Convention were ap
pointed W. P. Wilcos, Esq., Senatorial, and
Joel Spyktr, Esq., and Dr. T. J. Boyer, Rep
resentative: Delegates. By this time it was
' tinderstcod that two sets of resolutions were
on hand one set endorsing the course of Bu
chanan, the other Douglas." The Buchananites
Lad secured the officers of the meeting, but
finding they were in a minority, moved an ad
journment before any resolutions were offered
'Then came the fun. The Douglas resolutions
wcre handed to a Republican to read them to
the people the meeting was ro-organized, and
.amidst all soits of shouting, upsetting of ta
bles and tossing about of chairs, the resoln-
lions were adopted. They are as follows :
Resolved, That we recognize the right of the
people of a Territory in forming a Constitu
tion for admission into the Union, to establish
- .auch local policy as to Ihem may seem right
' and proper ; and they (the citizens or such
Territory) in accordance with the spirit of tho
Kansas-Nebraska act have alone the right to
reiect or adovt the Constitution under which
t they are to act and mane the organic taw in
s. tended for their own government.
Jtesolved, That Congress under the CVnstifu
lion of the United States, has no power over
the question involved in a Constitution thus
made and endorsed by the fairly expressed
will of the people, other than to sec that it is
roDublican in character.
Resolved, That Kansas, in forming her Con-
U atitution should have submitted the same to
tne bonauae iwiaiiian:s inereoi lvrnaunuuu
jot rejection, and having failed to do so, it is a
violation of the spirit and letter of the act
-creating her Territorial Government and there-
lore ought to be returned by Congress to mo
jesidents of Kansas for endorsement.
Rtiolpe'J, That we ' believe the people to be
V he source of all power, and the represent ativc
but the reflex of their will, and at all times a
jt jnenablc to them fop bis actions.

. New Use for Rattlesnakes. Tho Great

that Seth Maker, a curious naturalist, residing
near Beetown, had a spct of ground set apart
for melons on his farm, and near it was a well
known den of rattlesnakes. He has tamed

(Democrat) said :
"At the last session we were called

was the argument for that haste ? That if we
did not reduce the tarifl'in double quick time,
there would be a surplus of $GU,000,000 of
coin in the Sub-Treasury, and it would break
everybody. We have passed a taiifT bill, but
we have not only broken everybody, but we
have no money in the Treasury. Is this the
way the financial affairs of this Government
are to be conducted T l'ou begin at odo ses
sion to press through a bill to drive money
out of the Treasury, and then come here and
press us into the night hours to get snother
bill to put money into the Treasury."! think
this a serious impeachment of the financial
abilities of the Democratic party; and, with
out meaning to be unkind to individuals, I
am a little ashamed of il. We are precipitating
the Government of the United States, in a
time of peace, without any excuse for it, into
a system of continental' paper money. I can
make nothing else out of it."
Bakes ox Docclas. TheBoston Bee's Wash
ington correspondent, tells the following con
versation relative to Douglas', late demonstra
tion : The day alter Douglas made his speech,
a Democrat said toMr. Banks "areyou Repub
licans going to take Mr. Douglas in V "Yes,
sir," replied the Little Iron Man, "we will take
all who want to come; the church, is large and
the door Is wide.". . "Very well," rejoined the
Democrat, "but are you willing to make him
your leader V "We are willing, after they
ail get in," replied Banks, "to let the smartest
man lead the column."
Noise. Up in Detroit, Michigan, when the
Douglas men turned an administration meet
ing into a Douglas meeting, they made a little
noise. Says tho Advertiser : ''Of all the
noise made by the human voice, this meeting
afforded the greatest variety. A zoological
garden or menagerie of cats, dogs, tigers,
roosters, elephants, hogs, buns, horses, cows,
hawks, mocking-birds, robins, owls, geese
hens, goshns, jackasses, parrots, and all other
things that titter strange noises, were repre
S'.'nted on this occasion."

flMIE NEW-YORK STEAM SAW-5ULL
AND MACHINE COMPANY. CAPITAL
S250.000 This company has been organized with
the above capital for the purpose of supplving th
demand for the Combination PORTABLE
STEAM SAH'-MILL, and other Improved Ma
chinery. They have purchased the entire machine- -
ry business heretofore carried on by J. M. truer
son A CV, also the Montgomery works at Yonkers,

rience and facilities combined in its organization
are prepared to furnish machinery of all kinds at
more liberal rates, than has ever been offered at
anv other establishment.
THE COMBINATION SAW-MILL, waspatented
October, 1856, and is now generally acknowledged
to be the cheapest, most practical, and efficient
lumber manufacturing macbiue in the world. A
large number of them are in successful operation
in different sections of this country, Canada, Cuba,
and South America, and wherever their merits
have been tested they are being adopted by lumber
manufacturers in preference to all other mills.
The following letter expresses tho general opin
ion of those w ho arc using the Combination Mill :
Messrs. Emerson A Cc Gentlemen : I have tried
tho saw-mill purchased of you, and will say that
it performs wcil. and mere than meets my sxpeo-t-vtions.
1 am well pleased with its performance
I set it up cn a small stream that afforded constant
water about as thick as my little finger, which was
much more than sufficient to supply the boilor.
We aro able to cut 3.000 feet of beautiful lumber ia
12 hours, with something less than ono ecrd of
wood. It is the very thing we have needed in our
county for a long time. With a little trouble and
expense, we are able to move it from fivo to ton
miles per day, and set it up in the heart of th
timber, which saves the great burden of hauling
tho logs a long distance to the miil.
Yours, respectfully, Jesse Kerr, Jr.. !
