BEAUTIFUL .111PROVEMENT.—The Car
lisle Deposit Bank commenced the New Year .
in its new banking room, for although the
locality'is not changed the room has under
gone such entire change in internal arrange
ments as to be seemingly new, The new ar
rangements are in perfect taste and exceed
ingly beautiful itt finish, reflecting high credit
upon the various artists engaged in the work:
The room is greatly enlarg . ed,by a change in.
the location of the vati!t, and the walls are
newly and elegantly papered. The floor is
laid with English Encaustic Flooring, from
the establishment of S. A. Harrison, Phila
delphia, an advertiser in our paper, which is
handsome improvement. A private dice
with glass partition is prop ided fot: P 'the Cash
ier, and the new counters, desks, &c., are
beautifully grained in oak. The new ar
rangements and embellishments give the
room a strikingly elegaid tippettra - neeovhile
they are admirably designed to promote the
convenience of the officers of the Bat& In
such a palace it is renllt quite a treat to pay
a note even in these tight times!
The Carlisle.Deposit Bank is a well man
aged and consequently flourishing institu
tion. We trust the incoming State adminis
tration will give it the additional privilege of
issuing notes and thus make it a complete
institution, such as our borough and county
need.
a meeting of the
County Commissioners on Monday laqt, Mr.
William Riley, the old efficient and attentive
Clerk, was re-appointed to that place. A
strong .outside influence, we are told, was
brought to hear to effect the removal of Mr.
Riley; but which the better judgment of the
Commissioners resisted, at least in part, for
it is said that the re-appointment is for six
months only. Mr. Riley is a, political op
ponent, but we have alwa}•s regarded him
as an officer of excellent gnalifications had
obliging disposition. The office of clerk
should not be made subject to yearly changes
and after the present excitement passes over,
the' Commissioners will doubtless ffud that
they have pursued the wisest course for their
own convenience and the interests of the coun
try.
,LITERARY EXHIBITION.----The Big
Spring Literary Institute, ono of the most

• THE SIIOOTING PRACTICH.—The en•
Oiprising portion of the community who

this year, by having all their fun on Satur
day night. We. .did. not hear a single dis
chargo,of..e gun, on Sunday night prior to

BARNUM ON ADVERTISING.—To business
men, mechanics arid others, who are forming
plans for the new year,, , we commend the
following bit of advice fro Barnum—a man
who w,ithiu,a few years has made a _princely
fortune by . means of prinier's ink. lie says:
"Advertise your business. Do not . hide
your light under a bushel. Whatever your
occupation or calling may be, if it needs sup
port from the public, advertise it freely and
efficiently. I freely confess that what suc
cess I have had in my life may fairly be at
tributed more to the public press than to
nearly all other causes combined. There
may possibly lie occupations that do not re
quire advertisiug bukl cannot well conceive
what they are. Men in business will some
times tell you that they have tried advertis
ing and that it did not pay. This is only
when advertising is done sparingly and grudg
ingly. llmmepathie closes of advertising will
not pay perhaps—it is like half a portion of
physic making the patient sick, but effecting
nothing. Administer liberally and the, cure
will be sure and permeneut. Some say "they
mina afford to advertise i" they mistake—
t ey cannot afford notto advertise. In this
co ntry, where everybody roads the newspa
per, the wan, must have a thick, skull who
does not see that these are. the cheapest, and
best mediums through which he Can, speak
to the public - where he is to find , his cuSto
tilers. Put on the appealituce of business,
and generally the reality will follow. The
farmer, plants-his seed, and while he is sleep
ing his.corn and potatoes are griming. So
with advertisieg.—While you ore Steeping,
or eating, or conversing with one set of cus
tomers,
your advertisement is being read by
hundreds and thousands of persons who never
saw ytu or heard of your business and never
would; had it not been for your advertise - -
merit appearing in the newspapers."

spatch says the Administration is anxious
for the nnexation of the Sandwich Islands,
but the sentiment of Congress is not favora•

reference to Cuba, and. seem indisposed to
take up the former suqeet until the plan and
purposes of the adminstration is to tlic hit
