EXTKATACASCK OF OVR BOROtCn OFFICEBS PERFORMANCES SOT OJl THE BlLLS An OFFI CIAL Feemso the Tows "Fathers' have "A Hion OLD TIME" WHO FATS TUB PlPEtt. Last Wednesday evening, the retiring Board of Borough officers signalized tliir exit by Setting up an oyster supper, which is to be paid out of the funds of the corporation the expense being $10,00. We understand they had a rather "elevated venerable time" of it, t-njoying themselves, as well as tho oysters, et cetera, amazingly. Eating, we all know, is natural and common to man and "every living crealuro that mov eth," except a sucKer fish and lias been in all ages of the world. It is a thing we all under stand and can do, though in these latter days we have improved much in the taste and meth od that were in vogue among the ancients. In some things, however, wo imitate them. Those old fogies, our Scandinavian ancestors, for instance, were in the habit of eating and drinking to the glory of great men. This our people also do, and with a gusto, too, that would have done honor to the appetites of any of them. The fact is, with many pcrsdns, now-a-days, the supplying of the stomach is a paramount consideration, so much so, indeed, ths-t one is almost led to believe that they are all stomach or, as an illiterate fellow, who construed words by their sound, once said of ihcarty eaters, "they are entirely 7y-cose." Now, with these well-establised truths be fore us, we should like to know if it was any thing more than following the instincts of na ture, when the BorjHigh "Fathers" concluded to, and did, indulge in the delicious bivalves and other good things which are to be found in tho Kating Saloon of our friend Tommy Kobins; or whether they considered them selves as deserving of this peculiar sort of a "Reward of 3ferit" for the manner in which they managed the affairs of the corporation? Jf it was for the first named reason, we con sider that they were only cashing a check pre sented by their stomachs a mere business transaction. If for the other then we don't know how that will 1m?, for, according to their own showing, they have during the past year i.un the Borough in debt fOl.GlJ. As a mat ter of course, the improvements they have made arc of no consequence there was no use in macadamizing a portion of Second street, nnd opening the water-courses along other Ktreets : fur it is a fact that has gained some credence, that an abundance of moisture is a tine thing in dry seasons, and tho puddles and jiools that would have formed in our streets might, therefore, have answered a good pur jiosc in the event of a drontti, or a fire ; ami in cold weather, they would freeze over, and lc solid enough without stoning, and might jrove very convenient for skating parties. JJcsides, the officers receive no pay they do it all for the glory of the thing it is a matter 'C' philanthophy and, generally, they receive great dual of credit for flaring done every thing: wrong. But the deeding business is what we arc af ter. We are a firm btliver in the "art and niystey" of hearty eating. It makes men so cial and humane, and generates in them kind ly feelings, as well as fat, to be well fed to have, as Shakespeare says, their "fair round bellies with fat cajton lined" though on this occasfon oysters were used. Although "laugh ing" is said to be a great promoter of obesily, yfet we prefer getting our physical conforma tion into comfortable "kelter" by good, solid fced'urg, and are, therefore, in favor of letting the streets take care of themselves, and hav ing oysters and coflce at least once a month if they ask U9 to help cat 'cm notwithstand ing some object on t':e ground that if tho of ficers can spend $10.00 in this way, they have an equally clear right to appropriate all the 3orough funds for similar purposes which they might as well do. Now, if the Borough "Fathers" put tho matter on this ground, we ard with them that is, if they ask us to step in' the next time they indulge. If they don't, we will not hold ourselves responsible for the consequences. Wo have been reliably informed that the Council' have "faced the music" in a proper manner, by moving that an order be drawn for $10.00 to pay for an entertainment for tho of ficers of the Borough. We are rather pleased with the way tbey shoulder tlia responsibility, after hearing that some cseused them on the ground that the amount was to be taken from tho dog tax, which could scarcely be consid ered borough funds, and especially were wc pleased when we heard a wag inquiring, after this excuse, whether we were to understand by this that it was "dog eat dog." The wretch, if we hadn't been afraid he would "wollop" ns, we would certainly have "pitched into" him, la Morissey. We had, however, not intended, when we commenced writing this articlo, to say aay thing more than merely state the facts of the case, and our limited space now admonishes us to "dry up," "shut pan," or whatever you my please to call it. - So "nuf ." A Wolf Aboct. On tho morning of the 14th, before daylight a straggling wolf visi ted the premises of Mr. Christopher Net!' near New Washington, this county, and killed a sheep belonging to Mr. f. . Burked. The school house at Bald Hills, in Girard township, was destroyed by Are on Monday night the lltli Feb. . It was evidently set on fire, as the house had not been occupied for some time previous. The loss will not bo less than $100. Accidest. On last Thursday, Mr. Joseph Lansberry, who was engaged in hauling tim ber lor Ellis Irwin, Esq., in Goshen township, received a severe cut on the lower jaw by be ing struck with a handspike, upon which a timber-stick fell and threw up the end. One of his teeth was also split, and small pieces knocked off of others. It is really surprising that his jaw was not broken or dislocated by so heavy a blow. Arrived. Mr. 17. L. Henderson, who we noticed lastveek as having reached Philadel phia on his way- home, reached this place on last Thursday evening, looking as well as could be expected under the circumstances. Wc arc sorry to state that on Sunday forenoon he fell on the slippery pavement and injured the remaining part of his amputated leg, causing it to bleed profusely. Mr. Henderson's misfortune has secured him the heartfelt sym pathy of all his acquaintances. IIoi'SK Burned. We regret to learn that cn Friday night, February the 11th, about 11 o' clock, the dwelling house of Mr. Lemuel By ers, within a mile and a half of New Wash ington, in this county, took Are and was con sumed, with part of its contents. The fire o riginatcd at the roof, as is supposed, from the flue. The family had just retired, and Mr. Byers, hearing the noise of the lire, supposed it to bo the stove, and when lie discovered it to be the house it had got too far under head way to be extinguished. There is an old dwel ling house on tho farm, to which tjie family removed with what they sived from the de vouring element. We notice that in towns and cities all over the country, literary lectures are being deliv ered, this winter. Why is it we have none in ClearGeld 1 If we cannot procure lecturers from a distance, there is sufficient talent in our midst, if it were brought into requisition, and certainly there is no lack of taste, or in telligence, to appreciate- the best of lectures. This matter suggested itself to us by seeing that II. 11. Swoope, Esq., of this borough, is announced to delivers lecture before the Wil liamsport Library Association, on Tuesday night, March 1st. His subject will be. The History, Philosophy and Poetry of the Bible, which he treats in a new style, and which will doubtless secure the commendation of an in telligent audience. BoROtCH Election-. At the election held in this Borough on last Friday, the following officers wer chosen : Burgess, Jon. Boyn ton ; Town Council, Robert Mitchell, Richard Mossop, J. C. Whitehill, George W. Rheem, Robert Wriglcy ; High Constable, Jac. Shunk weiler; Auditor, Joseph B. MoEnally. Jus tice of tho Peace, Michael A. Frank ; Asses sor, Robert J. Wallace ; Judge, Robert Wal lace, Sr.; Inspectors, Benj. Spaceman, Israel Test ; Constable, R. F. Ward ;' School Direc tors, George Thorn, Henry Snider; Overseers of Poor, Samuel Mitchell, Wm. W. Betts. It is a matter of gratification to us to tc able to announce the re-election of Michael A. Frank as Justice of the Peace. That he is a popular man, and an excellent officer, we may readily infer from the fact that he had no op position, and that men of all parties supported him, in a town where he is politically in the minority. It certainly is a high compliment, which we have no doubt he fully appreciates. The Weather, River, &c. The weather continues to bo as frisky as a flirt, and its changes keep pace with the days, and some times arc more numerons. As wc went to press last Wednesday, it was raining ; Thurs day it froze in the morning, thawed at noon, and snowed a trifle in the evening ; Friday, drizzling rain ; Saturday, sunshine in morn ing, heavy rain is afternoon and night ; Sun day afternoon it grew cold, with a little snow in the erening; Mondjy, cold ; Tuesday, sun shining, but air chilly. On Sunday morning the river was very high, and a number of tim ber sticks drifted down the stream. The ice in the danis gave way, and preparations were being made for "rafling-in," but the cold, freezing atmosphere of Monday stopped oper ations. These sudden and numerous changes of the weather cannot fail to retard hauling and cut down the supply of lumber, to a great er or less extent, this season, though in some localities all the timber that is hewed will be got to the river. A very severe case of sore eyes, of 5 years standing, was cured by the use of Du Vull's Galvanic Oil. It is one of the most soothing and pain quieting agents that can be bad. In Erysipelas of the face, it will often remove the pain in ten minutes. DIED: On the 7th, of Lung fever, Lccixda, wife of Robert Pennington, Sr., of Chest township.

R AVER'S SAnSAPARILLA, a compound -remedy, in which we have labored to produce the most effectual alterative that can be made. It is a eonccntrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of still greater al terative power at afford an effective antidote for the disease Sarsaparilla ii reputed to care, it is believed that suck a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Stroiaouscontclaints. and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove of immense service m tuts large crags of our afnictcrt fellowcitizeua. How completely thiscorapound wHl do it has been proves by experiment on manr-of (he worst eases to be found of thefollowiageompainta : Scrofula and Scrofaloe complaints.

Erysipelas, Rose or St. Antho ny's Fire, and indeed tke wholo elass rf com plaints arising from Impurity of tho Blood. This compound will be found a gre?t promoter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humors which foster in the blood at that sea son of the year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud Multitudes can. by tho aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. n Cleanse out the vitia ted blood whenever you find its impurities burst ing through the skin in pimples. crnptions.or sofes; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and slug gish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings wiil tell you when. t'Ten where no particular disorder is felt, peoplo enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep tho body hcnlthy. and all is well ; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and tho great machinery of lite is disordered or altogether overthrown. Sarsaparilla has. and deserves much, the repu tation, of accomplishing these ends. But the world has been egregiously deceived by prepara tions of it, partly because the drug alonu has not all the virtue that is claimed for it. but more because many preparations, pretending to be concentrrted extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else. During late years the publis have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Ex tract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar, "lost of these have been frauds upon the sick, for the not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla. but often no cu rative properties whatever. Jlenee.bittcrand pain ful disappointment has followed tho use of the va rious extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the mar ket, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name" from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have good ground for believing it has virtues which are irrcsistable by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. In ordcto sconrc their complete eradica tion from the system, tho remedy should be judi ciously taken according to directions on the bottle. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Aycr!? Co., Lowell, Mass.
