WORKINGS or VIII “FIVE GALLON" LAW.-
A representative of the "Woman's Right" law,
was picked up in one of our streets the other
day, glorionsly inflated ; or, in vulgar parlance,
drunk. She wen cared (or. We believe this is
the only instance on remrd, in our borough,
in which a femenine has made public a probes.
Rion of her love for the fire water.
Sm.ss.—Major Steel has disposed of his
late splendid residence in this borough, to Rev.
0. 0. McClean, on behalf of the Presbyterian
Congregation. It is purchased for a parsonage.
Capt. Wm. Dorris has likewise sold his stone
mansion. John MeCallan, Esq., has likewise
disposed of a frame building in Market Spier°.
MAP OF FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP -It will be
seen by nn advertisement in another column,
to which we invite special attention, that Mr.
J. S. Africa, proposes getting up a map of the
shove named township. This is a long needed
article, and we hope Mr. Africa may reesive
such encouragement as may induce him to give
n similar map of every township in limiting
don county. See advertisement.
A Coan OxE.—An amusing mistake occur
.l in one of our hotels op the country the oth
er day. A countryman stopped there for the
night, and having ft very largecont on, the hoot
politely requested him to "lay his overcoat otr'
no slipper Wall ready. Hl'a-eo, oh pees!" re

ning last, the extensive foundry of Gen. It. C.
McGill, in this borough, was almost entirely
destroyed by fire. The fire originated in the
1„w, story, and before the discovery was made,
the entire building was in flame, Cue goal
citizens wore promptly on the spot, and by
grunt exertion a large amount of property was
saved. The loss is a heavy one for Gen. Mc-
Gill, there tieing no insurance nn the building.
We understand that the gentlemen who hail
rented tho foundry, intend zebuilding it, and
thnt they sill be ready for casting again, in a
very short time.

Gnexudi.ogousr.—One of cur cotemprct
rics splurges dreadfully about the "RM. chill
•breath of Winter I" lie is out amid the home
of nature, among its wild forest and beautiful
gardens, and be says this icy, northern blast
has made sad havoc. Masses of brown leaves
crislied by Autumn's sun, now frozen by the
wintry wind, are thrown upon the ground. The
bower of the anemone and the chas'e violet
is rudely desolated, and the bitter wailing of the
storm finds innumerable echoes in the leafless
woods. There is a * sadness its nature which .
eorrespotais whir the boreal gale. 0, Autumn!
why on soon
"Depart the hues that make thy forests glad ?
Thy gentle wind, and the fair sunny WA,
And leave them wild and sad I"
And in our town, also, there are, at this season,
sore leaves and faded flowers. In the hearts
of many of its denizens there is Winter—the
fourth season of the heart I A chilling luau
fence has frozen up the fountains of sympathy
And happiness in its depth ; a cold burden has
settled over its withered hopes, like snow on
the sere leaves, ice on the faded fiowsrs ; a rude
blast of discontent moans and shrieks is Its
desolate chambers. With some, penury has
taken the place of ease and plenty; summer
friends have forsaken them, and the unpitying
world pulses them with scarcely a look or word
or compassion. Death has severed the dear
ties that bind others to earth, leaving them in
fearful darkness. The little child has been ta
ken from them—the sole joy of their lives—the
partner with whom they had shared a weary
pilgrimage in humanity, And the spirit clings
to the lost ate wills a wild tenacity, which not
eves the shadow of the tomb can utterly sub
due. Sere leaves, laded flowers I the revol
ving seasons will in theit , course replace you
with others as fresh and us fair so you have
been ; but even nature cannot undo her handi
work, and, its the human heart as on the hos.
oM of earth, the "dead past" must "bury its
dead," and the heart's emotiens, like leaves and
flowers, be suceeed‘sl—not restored.
BOLD ON BROAD Tor.—Rumors have been
flouting around for some time past, to the of.
feet, that several rich veins of gold have been
discovered on or in the vicinity of the Broad
Top Mountain. As to the truth or falsity of
this statement, we "know nothing," but give it
as a currently reported and partly accredited
rumor here.

delphiafilone, than is sold of Dr. Jayne's medi
cines, or five of any others? Why in it that a
Physician of large practice used it on the para
lyzed limbs of his boy, utter using everything
else? Simply !mouse the genuine "Electrote
Oil," from the office of' Prof. DeGrath, effectu
ally cures paralysis. Why and how is it that
over $5OO has been sold in Washington, D. C.
during about six weeks, and over $lOOO worth
in Baltimore in the same time 7 Why do Messrs
Morris & Co., of York, Pa., (ono of tho finest
Drug houses In the State,) and John Wyetli,
Esq., of Harrisburg, Pa., sell so much, when
they have .y quantity of all sorts of other
medicines right by the side of the "lileetric
Oil?" Simply because nothing else will answer
the purpose that the Oil does. Let the skepti
cal ask the numerous cases of almost hopeless
patients, if anything could be more agreeable
in nee, or more effectual in its results—aomo af
ter hating expended hundreds of dollars on 'l.ll
nines former treatment, with nothing but dis
courar,entent and despair for their trouble. Why
is it that other medicines have advertisements
piled up column high, in all the papers while
Professor De Grath's 'Electric Oil' is only no
ticed at a shale expense not to exceed $l5 to
$29 a day? Why is it that two physicians are
daily employed to the office, applying the (gen
uine) 'Electric Oil" to patients afflicted with
Totter, Palsy (and it is warrented for this).—
Ithenanatism, Neuralgia, Headache, ()Id Sores
and Bruises ' Wounds, Cuts, Sprains and Inju
ries, Sore Breast and side) also all kinds of
painful complaints. Although a cure is war
ranted, yot not more than ono bottle has ever
been returned t and that was a ease of total
&Mile., of 16 years' standing. Of course na
ture could not restore such a case, with whatev
er help._ .

Cap, a quiet and retired place, free from all
temptation to vice, idleness or dissipation. The
location is a healthy eve, I , ci,g situated among
the mantillas. It is cutirLiy free from the nui
sances so commoualoug our rivers and so deetruc
tire to health.
Tbo CO;;; of instruction is such aSvs been.
found by experience most suitable for a staling
ani velopittg the powers of the Hitt . The
student is early taught to rely upon himself, to
think, to reason, and investigate the ditlCrent
subjects which arc brought Him. The goveta
meet is strict but mill, only requiring what is
for rho student's highest good. Around him is
thrown, as far as practicable, the restraints and
comforts of a well regulated Christian home.

THE undersigned aware that a suspension of
the line of Stages over the road between

disadvantageous to a large section to the country

arrangements to run a line of Stages Trl-weekly
between the two points. Good Maser and com
fortable Stages have been placed on the route,
and experienced and trusty drivers will superin
tend the running or the Coaches. The proprie
tor of the lino is desirous that it be maintained,
and he therefore calls upon the public generally
to patronise it, confident that it will be for thoig
instant advantage. Every attention necessary
will he given, and the running of the Stages will
he regular. . .
