( . 1011 or ten years ago I\ll., (ale of the, most successful ai.d x pet ieneed hunters,in this section, set a trap tor bear which bud been seen near Nor throp Hollow,.on the Schrader Branch. Bruin put his font-in the trap, and in the morning wlien Mr. S. weist, to look for him he ofily found about one bait of one of his paws, which the animal nit doulitably thought it better to lose than to run the risk of falling rtdo the hands of his human enemy. Tracks of the maimed bear have been seen every summer since, but every Olen to cap turn it proved unavailing. During the past few weeks, however, Mr. Scott ten again made the• .altmnpt to • rid the neighborhood of Mr. Bruin, and the other day Qucceeded in killing him by a ball from his trusty rifle. On exami nation it. proved to -be the veritable bear which he bad .entrapped nine years before, as that part of the paw corresponding to the piece found in the trap was missing. ELEGANCE AND H0m13. 7 4 never saw a garment too fine for man or maid ; there was never a chair to good for a cobbler or cooper or king too sit in ; never a house too fine to shelter the human head. These elemen ts above us, the gorgeous sky, the imperial sun, are not too good for the human race. Ele gance. fits man'. But do we not valu'P these tools of housekeeping a little more: than they are worth, and some i times mortgage a home for the sake of the ma hogany we would bring into it? I had rather eat my dinner off the head of a barrel, or dress after the fashion of John the Baptist in the wilderness; or sit on the rock all my life, than consume all myself before ,I got to a home, and - _take so much pains with the qutside that the inside was as hollow L as an eri3pty . nut. Beauty is a great thing, but beauty of garments, housp and furniture, is a very tawdry oroament compared with domestic love.

FeW; if any Country papers in . the land;-haVe originated so much in the world of Theught;and the Conflict of Ideas,as has the AGITATOR. under the fruitful pen of Mr. Cobh. Hence it is notstrange that a people ; so long accustomed to receive instruction from such a tutor, particu larly throughout the long, full, event ful years which have crowded a cen= tury within the scope of the AGITA- I'OR'S life, should become exacting up on the subject of :mental 'diet. How well . the writer shall be able to satisfy this demand, remains to be seen. Mean- . time, he bespeaks the indulgence of our patrons. Under his supervision, the AGITA TOR, will not cease to agitate: Should it do so, it would lose its identity, and turn ;Is t back upon a record in the progreistbf Right and - Reform, which has made it what it is. It will not em brace purely moral questions In its creed of politics, but as there comes a time in the progress of Sentiment, when a Party may with Ei afety Identify it self with such advancement, the writer ti oncieves it to be the mission of a Party 9rgiln, as well as all others, to stimulate snch progress. To this end it is hoped ? and from its past history we have reas on to expect, that the Republican Party will still lead the van of the army of Progress. So long as it remains true to the principles upon which It was found ed, and the 1npt_fr0m.,w))101 , 11...y.. , ......,_ we shall Tither for Its success, and hail its victories as harbingers of yet grater blebsings to man. • But the' AGITAron has not been, nor is it intended that it shall be, simply a political organ. Politics are in the na ture of pills—we only take them when we Must—and we who live in these times, well know that the doses are fre-. guent as well as large. Therefore we shall inOt anticipate political conflicts, and shall endeavor at nil times, to keep up a general interest in the paper. It is our belief, that the chief mission of a Country paper is local; and in further-. !Ince• of this object, we feel that we shall do most for the advancement of the interests and welfare of our people. Our County is fast developing . in Ag ricultural and Mineral resources ; but there is room for greater improvement. We need to stimulate Capital ! , and by so doing, to make a better market for our farmers, to increase the value of real estate, and hasten the time when our people shall be better oil than they ever have been. We have among us, many independent livers, but they are comparatively few, while the great mass only nhake a living. By develop.; ment of our resources only, can an equi librium be made to approach, and the pioneer toilers, and their descendents' be remunerated:for their struggles and hardships. In this development, We, ourselves are Interested also, if that were needed to impel us to favor it.— We shall encourage all enterprises cal culated to promote the interests or our people, in whatever shape they may ap pear. Here lwe can all meet upon a common platform ; and while the AG ITATOR will ever work fer. Republican ascendency in Politics, in Indutsry we shall know no party. • NEW.—With our first issue in the .I•ieW year, we present THE AGITATOR to our patrons, with columns extended, and under a new heading. It is plain, but we think no less attractive 'on that fotint. A general re-arrangement of s has been made, obsolete matter expunged, and other changes made which we think add much to the ap pearance of the paper. We shall strive to make the Agitator worthy of the pat ronage it has hitherto received, and seek by every means within our power to perpetuate its usefulness. On the seventh of December last, the Legislature of Wyoming Territory pass ed a law extending the right of suffrage to females. We received a letter from our correspondent "Wanderer" convey ing this intelligence, but too late for publication. Here is a chance now for "strong minded women." We advise all lesser halves to proceed at once to hold the heads of their families to bail; and if no-law is now in force authorizinssuch proceeding, we pray the , Legisl l gure to provide ways and means without delay. We heaitily agree with the following recommendation by. the Doylestown Intelligencer: •- "If we. were to, advise a young man tralqing himself for business life what literary magazine or periodical he should take, we should say Packard's Monthly. And it is also a good thing for young women. It is not a " story" magazine, by any means, but •is filled with papefs and essays bearing direct ly-upon the Practical questions of life. With the; January number, just issued, Packard has been enlarged and im proVed in appearance, and the price ad vileed to $2 per year."

Edwin M. Stanton, late Secretary of War, died at Washington, on the 24th of December 1869, 54 years of age. The past year has thinned the ranks of the great men of our Country, so much, that it has been a subject of re mark; and in no case, bas the loss fallen so heavily upon' the whole country, as in this. After long months and years of disappointment and defeat, which came upon us under the policy of con ducting - a great war on friendly terms, it was Edwin M. Stanton who mar shalled our forces, and directed our en ergies to victory, final and complete.— NO man of them all, did more than he, to establish the peace of 1865. Day and night, he labored for his country with out ceasing • and, vat, ne roifti L d Ills health gone, his-con stitution shattered, and his prospects of life even, most uneertain. Then fol lowed the shameful treachery of An drew Johnson, and the conflict between them for possession of the War Office— Johnson claiming that ho had the right to supersede Stanton without the con sent of the Senate. Stanton surren dered the Portfolio to Grant, under pro test. What might have been the re sult, had Stanton tamely submittedto the dictation of this mad-man, in the White House, no one can tell. In the drunken harangues, "swinging round. the cirele,n glimpses of monarchy had been foreshadowed; and such is .the nature of this Andrew Johnson, that it may well he doubted If any thoughtful Unionist, felt one country safe in'such hands. No one ean have forgotten the relief the Nation, felt when Stanton said that Grant could be trusted. Then we only knew Grant as the General who never surrendered ; and it was whis pered that he might join the Johnson dy4asty. }tor true he then was, the country soon learned. He surrendered the War Office to Stanton, on the re: fusal of the Senate to consent to his re moval, and then came the bloodless vigils of the only battle which we re call, that "Ad Interim" Thomas ever fought. He did not conguer, however, and Stanton held the office till the Sen ate slutified itself, by its acquittal of Johnson on trial of the Artieles'of Im peachment. Only his regard for the friends of the country, induced Stan ton to remain in office, after the close of the war. Ever since, his health has been poor, but latterly i he was thought better.— But a few days before his death, he was appointed Associate Judge of the United States Supreme Court, And the nomi nation was at once confirmed by the Senate without the usual reference in like cases. And now, before his commission Is fairly dry from the bands of the Presi dent, ho is , gone forever, and at rest With - his countrymen who \ fought the battles, and gained the victory for the Union I When the smoke I nnd din of these times shall have cleared away and subsided ; when the passion, prej ndice,and animosity, engendered by the late war, and kept alive by the conten tion, growing out of it, shall have be come lost in the calm of old age, and the history of these times shall be faith fully written, no name will stand forth from among the inultitude,s which now sound in our ears, so distinct, so un shaken, so grand and eloquent in its own greatness, as that of EDWIN M. gTANTON ! JUDICIAL.—There seems to be little doubt that the Hon. Vim. Strong of this State, late Judge of our Supreme Court, will be appointed Judge of the U. S. Supreme Court in place of Hon. E. licStanton, deceased. Judge Strong is an' able Jurist, and will fill this emi nent station with great, credit to him self, and honor to the chief Judicial Tribunal of the Country. Now, let Congress do an act of justice, by in creasing the salaries of Judges, so that they can live in 4 style becoming the office, and we may expect to see our Judiciary, fearless, honored and re spected. , The Harrisburg Daily.

A trial of many years has established the feet, that it is more efficacious in pulmonary affections, than any other remedy. Its efficacy has now become so gen erally known ;that it ie justly regarded in many coun teles as a medicine of indispensable necessity. In Great Britain. Fgance, and Germany, where medical science has reached its highest perfection, it le prescribed in domestic practice, and constantly need in the armies in hospitals and ether public institutions, where tt is it. garded by the attending physicians as the molt speedy and agreeable remedy that can be employed. Scarcely any neighborhood can be found where well known cases of diseued lunge, which had baffled the efforts of the most skillful and experienced doctors have been completely cured by it. These results' aro the most convincing proofs of the superior curative proverties of this preparation; and to them the authors point with peculiar satisfaction. Whileit is moat powerful against confirmed diseases, it is extremely gentle as a medicine in infancy and youth, being quite harmless to•eyen the youngest, when administered Judiciously. This health-restorer accomplishes even more by pre vention than cure. If taken in season, it heals all irri tations of the throat and lunge, whether arising from Colds or Coughs, or from other oansee, and thus pre vent that long train of painfial and incurable diseues, which would arise from the neglect of them. Reece no family should be without it. Influenza, Croup, Eloareenear,Wheoping Cough, Pleurisy, Incipient Con sumption. and other MUT:Dons of the breathing organs, give way before the pre-eminent combination of medi cal irtues.
