Miss Nancy Layton, a lady recent employed Xi's sea - it:tetras in the clothing et ire of C. M. eedward &C., was married on- r".,%lasy„ night last, to Man calling himself Harry Harris, who has been employed about the village for six month, past as carpenter. Ef.n - rris has been very assiduous in his attentions to Miss. Layton for some time past, and she supposed him, as did others who knew him, to be _,so honorable, industrious man. The lady bad about $l5OO in the hands of friends in this section, that bad been left herby her father. Over eleven hun dred dollars of this money had _ been collected ita~sinoe the mariaage, iti gt eenbsas, and drafts• paysible to the order of Harrls. 'Yesterday (Wednesday,) the couple took the afternoon freight train for' Elmira, with 'aft the money and drafts safely in ,Harris'..pdai , ;et. ' The os tensible object of the trip was tol:isit Philadel fide. where Harris pretended M7have friends. 44-rieing in Elmira Harris direed his wife to resunin in the cars while he wen` out to attend tp checking their baggage, teltng her they_ wonlit - gd on' in the same trial:6 She did,so, eirtdtkat Wius the last she saw. -n't her husband.

The diluted wife was left without a cent of money pay her fare bs fr. to this place. Some of tier friends went up to lattiira to day and retuned with her on tke train this evening.

A FAIR OF CEWEEZ,IB But for the purchase of a pair of chickens probably thie article would not have beers writ ten. The case is this: !There is a great dirt about high prices for , everything eatable and weara• We. Everybody gruMbles. We have grove. bled—and kept on buying—until grumbling come to be a sort of habit. We called at the meat shop and asked for steak, or chop, or roast, as the case might be ; and twenty cents a pound —tbe invariable reply—went to the marrow of our pocket. Finally, people began to ask us if we couldn't do something to bring down the high pricea; and we thought not. But happening to pur chase a pair of chickens, and to pay for them at the rate of twenty cents a pound, our indig nation arose like one regenerated, and caused us to inquire into the philosophy of present high prices. Looking at the Towands, market rates we find that Potatoes are 7 . 5 cents a bushel ; here they are $l,OO. Chickens are'l4 cents a pound in Towanda, and 2.o.cents here. Turkeys are 16 cents a pound in Towanda, and 22 cents here. In York, Pa., Potatoes are 60 cents-a bushel, Chickens 50 gents to $l. Per pair, beef from 15 to 18 cents, pork 14 to 18 cents, mutton 12 to 16 cents, lard 20 to 25 cents (30 cents, here), an so on: Why should Wellsboro be an exception ? whY should we pay more for eatables than they do in Townada and York ? We answer : Because we have no outlet or inlet by rail, so' as to bring produce and goods down to market prices elsewhere by competition.' Let cis look at the case dispassionately.— Remonstrate with the farmers and they reply " You traders charge us more than traders in Corning and Elmira ;If they put it on - w-uni we must put the tariff on our produce. ; ' - Just so. We do not begrudge the farmer such Prices as he can get for his produce. , For if the farmers are prosperous the country cadet pros Per. ' But we ask them candidly to say if twenty Cente a pound for chickens—which cost nothing to raise and fat—is not asked and taken, simply because they have the consumer at their mercy ? Do they pretend to say that it costs even one cent a pound to raise abiokens? We guess not. Chickens are the scavengers of farm premises, and may be considered clear profit. On the other hand—it is an apparent fact thavour traders take a similiar liberty with the consumers of their wares. They do business away from the great bights-els of travel to and from trade centers ; and, like other people who aspire to ' make money out of business, they sometimes charge exorbitantly because they have the consumer "on the hip." We suspect that both parties speak the truth of each other ; but this recriminating system of doing business by barter, breeds bad blood between parties. It ought to be abandoned. The farmer may justly charge market prices for staples, leas the cost of getting his stuff to market. And the trader may charge market prices (New York) for his wares, with the cost of trans portation, waste and breakage,. added. Thus —if beef is worth 20 cents in New York, the farmer may properly charge 20 cents, less the cost of getting his cattle to New York ; and if sugar is retailing at 18 cents in New York, the grocei may charge 18 cents, with freight and wastage added, here in Welisboro. , Bat are the prices fixed by this standard either by farmers or traders ? We guess not. New York- market governs the butter trade, and nothing else. We send butter and cheese to the city,,but not beef, or poultry, or potatoes. We have tried to set a good example before the people in this respect. Paying, on an average, for the last -three years, 250 per cent, more for paper, ink, and material than we used to pay ten years ago, we only advanced on pa per 50 per cent and our advertising and job work 25 per cent. And while there has been no competition with us for three years, our prices for advertising and job work have been, and still are, from 25 to 50 per cent; lower than they are elsewhere. We put the 'Agitator dein to $l, in 1855; and the farmer,. brought as a cord of wood for $l. We raised the paper to $1,50, in 1863 ; and the farther brought us a cord of Wood for $2. Now we ask for a candid opinion : Have we not tried the experiment of selling , below, the market rates thoroughly ? And con one man say that he met us half-way? It has cost us three times as much to print a paper, these three years, as it did ten years ago ; we only charge half as much again now. line any far mer or trader in this county .met us half way ? Not one. So, the excare•that these high pri ces, on,both sides, are based altogether upon high prices for everything, is not valid. The truth is—and none of us are privileged to, blink it,—mea take advantage of each'itther, to a greater or lege extent; everywhere. Our iso lated position, away from commercial highways, pilte ue at the mercy of each other i and the „quality a human mercy Strained: We like to " eock it" to each other when, we buy imad Dculay.re? . _ DEC. 27, 1 865.1 So /1312th for a pair of chickens: Should you invite a man to sit 'down at your table and partake of .the best ,Your larder af forded; and he should beaten to accept your hospitality ; and having picked a bone should fling it in ionr face—Sou would not have a very exalted opinion of that ungrateful and ill bred guest, nor would you - hasten - to proffer him your hospitality again. Or• should you find a man shivering, in the winter cold, thinly clad and badly shod,i and should invite' him to enter • your house and warm hie'ehivering body ; and having done so he should curse your house, and all who dwelt therein—pa would not sit down and write an essay on Gratitude as- the main-spring of hu man character." Or, should your neighbor destroy your fet;ces and crops, put a torch to your barns and gran aries, and tut the - throats of your children-; and you, having overcome him, should invite him to return to reason andgood citizenship ; and he, in the hour, of his subjugation should solemnly promise to live hereafter in peace with you and yours, yet should employ the first hour of his release and pardon in cursing you—You would not descant upon the beauties of pardon to high offenders against the laws and'he be. heats of Order. . But if you, , yeurself, were an ingrate, a mur derer, an incendiary, and-a- defier a , - law mad order, you would be the apOlogist of snob men. You would, preach moderation in de'aliag with such offenders, and find some lawyer-like excuse for such outrageous conduct. Just so. Therefore, we are in no wise eurprised to see that the sympathizers of treason in the North entirely overlook the fact of the baseness and black ingratitude of certain prominent rebels who have been all submission until pardoned, and have gone out cursing the Government whose clemency they sought and received, with the pardon in their betide and the ink not yet dried upon it,". We say again what we have said before—that the clemency of the President was well exer cised. It was well to give to the world some idea ofthe unutterable baseness of character which resulted in the most inexcusable treason the world ever witnessed. Should you awake some night "and find a robber departing with your valuables, we are not certain that it might not be ,well to offer him your carriage in which to carry away his booty. That might 'shame him somewhat; or it might send'a shtift of remorse home to his reek= less soul; and he might soften so much as to leave your mall change with you so that, you could make change with your butcher. However—opinions, like tastes, differ: Some people would insist on a gag-bit for such pe riod of time ati.might be sufficient to bring on a couuria...4 Many times a day we are asked " what will they do with Jeff Davis ?" and—" Is there any danger of Congress letting those (tnisconstruct ed) reconstructed rebels . in ?" There can be but .one reply to the first ques tion, as we see it; and that is: "Jeff Davis will be deliberately tried for treason, and if convicted, as he must be, hung." We say this not because we know anything beyond what every man may know ; but because this is the only reply that any roan's self•respect will ad. mit of being made. If a 'man guilty of -the highest known crime and so smeared from crown to heel with the blood of innocence as is Pattie, is to be turned loose upon society, then , what crime should be punished, what man can com mit crime punishable "'wits death ? And as to the latter question—it is not at all probable that any State will be permitted a representation in Congress until it brings forth fruit meet for repentance. That is, it must re• pudiate—at once and forever—Slavery, and the rebel debt. And it must also make some. pro. visions for its liberated slaver. Reconstruction is a work of time. The wire edge of defeat cuts the rebel lenders to the quick. • But the 'Union lives in the hearts of the masses, and therefore can nver die. XXXIXth Congtess-- -1a Session. 2101 , IDAY, Dec. 18.
