"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.

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.

AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, has won for it
self such a renown for the cure of every varie
ty of Throat and Lung complaint, that it is en
tirely unnecessary for us to recount the evidence
of its virtues, wherever it has been employed.
As it has long been inconstant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure
the people that its quality is kept up to the best
it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to do
for their relief all it has ever been found to do.
