Local and Personal. TUe Roads in almost every direction are said te be in a ruinously bad condition. To allow them to be so for any con.-iderable length of time is the worst sort of economy in tax-payers , and to a stran ger must give su miserable opinion of the thrift an J enterprise of the community where they exist. Second-hand pianos, Organs and Melcdeons can be had at the Music Btore of L. B. Powell, Scran ton. In m:4r J ~,!e3 a really good instrument can be obtained'at less than one-half the price of a ucw one, and there are many who would gladly avaii themselves oi an opportunity to procure a .Mu sical instrument when it can bo had at so low a rate, The Rain—which wo notice! in our last, as then in progress was so general and long continued as to raise many of the streams in this vicinity to a higher point than for many years past.

But wc are of the opinion that its char a,.- are not confined entirely to the "savage breast," judging from the grand array of female beauty promenading the Court House Square oil Saturday evening last, drawn there by the uielo deous strains of the Tunkhannock Brass Band. The Band did its best, and fro in the profuse display of handkerchiefs and bouquets, must have excelled all former attempts.

Sary-Naded.--About the witching hour of night, "!he other night When all around was still" we waked up to find ourself one of the most dis dispnguished individuals in town. Floating cut on the clear cool midnight air, directly from under the window of the room where the Mrs. Editor li-s down to pleasant dreams, was 1 e Grand March,in Norma, played by our excellent string Bar d, in whi'-h Ii' k, Lew, Boxer and Burn-, take the leading parts. Too March, in Norma, is our favorite one for tramping ; an d should we ever go to war or the the gallows, we want the chief fif* r to play it instead of the Rogue's March. On waking lip to consciousness, our first dim notion was that we h.i 1 waked- up in a higher holior sphere ; bat a sharp pinch in tho ribs from our bea-teliow —who by the way isn't much of a fclioic after all—satisfied tic twe were in the vi cinity of material objeets and in this same old subli mary sphcte, where but a short time before we had spent several hours,down on all funis.in an apparent ly futile attempt to make a small pat h of car pet cover a large patch ol f: ir.

Lull to Miss Julia A. Bolton all of Tunkhannoek Borough. Previous to the event above mentioned, owing, perhaps, to the high price of flour, and somewhat to the fact that oir young friends have of late been a little fai nt hearted in the matter ef asking ques tions, we —from a poor devil of a printer, down 'o a poor printer's devil—had become ravenously hun gry for wedding cake. But in this desert world of ours, there are some patches of tall clover, even for these imps of darkness We were invited—and didn't wait tor a second or mora urgent invitation ; we attended—saw the knot tied—and made such de structive raids on the pyramids of cakes, butter and the thousand and one other goodies, gotten up for the occasion, that we blushingly confess we retire from the still oe'r bur lened table vary much de moralized in the center of our corps de phisique (Military Talk.)

TLIM\ESQ., "to . Author of "Druids' Letters," "Life of Senator Douglass," Ac. J2mo. Grecti English Cloth, $2.00. In presenting this work to the Public, the Pub lishes are actuated by a desire to furnish a cheap and convenient vehicle for the transmission of light and instruction to the masses upon a subject con cerning which, there is both doubt and misappre hension in the min is of ail classes of our country men, This has atisen as much, perhaps, from the hcrefoforo iniper'cot snjrees of intelligence eeneern ing that unhappy country, as trom the influence of our domestic politics upon the questions growing out of the consideration of its History. The Revolution through which our own Country has just passed, has not been without its influence, though indirectly, up on the 'or tines Ythe Mexican Nation, ami while we eot tarn date the wonderful changes wrought in the I,'uited States by five year 3 of S'rife, we are nat urally led to inquire the results achieved by the revolutions of our Southern Sister once the Rt pub lic an 1 nowthe Empire of Mexico. Our Author has answered Miis inquiry in 1 manner both satisfac tory and conclusive, in the Volume wo have just is sued from the Press, and we commend it to the citi zens of the United States as an invaluable contri bution to cotemporanc >us History. Mr. Flint clear ly demonstrates among other things, that the Maxi milian Government in Mexi'-o is firmly established ; that the people have abmdoned Juarez,(whose troops ate sail to consist now of but a few bands of guerti | las.) and joined Maximilian ; and that the popular I prejudices in this Country against the establish ment of an Empire in Mexico are wrong, because in asserting the Monroe Do-trine wo are running coun terto the wishes of the Mexican people; and taking from them their exclusive right to settle their own affairs in their own way and to their own satisfaction, j Facts and documents are presented to smw that the j Empire is maintained now without the aid of France I and solely by the Mexican i>eoplo— the merchant ! clergy, and better sort of people generally The j book gives a good insight into the policy which our own Government has pursued in Mexican affairs as well as many facts and statistics of interest and val ue. It the Mexican people have chosen a constitutional i monarchy as a cure lor the anarchy which for so , many years convulsed the Republic, and if their i choice tarns out wisely, then who among us dare ! say to theui ; Put uwav j-""'*, law, prosperity and • t5 Empire ami take back faction, war, lawlessness, ruin a"-' ** ' , to# Republic • NATIONAL PUBLISHING 0. j HELMBOLD'S EXTRACT BUCHU and improved Rose Wash cures secret and delicate disorders in all their stages, at little expense, little or no ohangein diot, no inconvenience and no exposure.
