Wheeler & Cobb is said to bo one of the best hotels in this section, and wo can cheerfully re. commend it as being so, if they keep up their former reputation. They propose giving a ball on Christmas, and we trust they will have a merry time. ISTYesterday wo stopped into the new store of n. S. Belnap, next door to the Hyde House, and was surpiised to find such a large stock of Goods. He has his shelves literally crammed full of as serviceable goods as were ever bro't to this county, and which he says he will sell cheaper than they can be bought any other place in IUdgway. -Our friend, J. V. Houk has re turned from the eastern cities with a large and extensive assortment of seas onable and fashionable goods, such as are generally found in a first class coun. try store. Houk is as fair a man to deal or.tt. u cm lift 'iinnil anvwhere. and should receive a full shaie of the public patronage. Give him a call. BPersons who intend making ap plication for license at the coming term of court would do well to remember tint notice of such application must bo pub lished three times in tho county paper before going to tho court. And as we Bhall in all probability issue no paper during the hollidays,- applicants should send in their names before next week's paper is issued. Our fee is $1 cash. SOur usually quiet villago was thrown into a furore of excitement on Monday last, by the appearance of three young men who had imbibed an extra supply of " benzine." They first went to the hotel of our aged mend, 1 Layer, and on being refused liquor, commenced dancing. To this Mr. Thayer kindly remonstrated ; they still persisted, and Jlr. Moyer, constable of Fox township, leing present, was asked to atrest them, and upon his telling them to desist, they took up their line of march for the Hyde House, where, on learniug that Mr, Moyer was not constable of RUly viay, went back to the Thayer House, and presenting a loaded revolver at the head ot Mr. Moyer, compelled him to accompany them back to the Hyde House in order to prove that he was not the constable. As soon as they arrived there they were arrested by Mr. Moyer, who in turn took them before Justice Fuller for commitment. While the ex amination was going on, one of the party took " French leave," but was recaptur. ed after a short run, and taken to jail. In the erening a further examination was held before the same justice, who held them each to bail in the puni of $1200, in default of which two of them were committed to answer attba coming tsrm of Court.' ,K" ere.

"The perfumed light Steals through the midst of alabaster lamps, And every air is heavy with the breath Of orange flowers that bloom V the midst of roses."

Godey for Jasuarv. The best number of tho best Lady's Magazine we have ever seen. It is really a gem. A piece of block printing is produced in this number, especially for the ladies, that is a noveltv in this country. It is the figure of a stag, printed iu eight col ors, and is exceedingly beautiful ; and we presume could not bo purchacd in the stores for doublo tho price of tho Book. The two steel plates are very fine, one of Ihcm contaius three distinct pictures. Tho tinted cut a speciality of Godey's is sweetly pretty ; aud the inimitable fashion-plate is beyond all praise. But the great feature of this number is Godey's extension plate ot the latest fashions, two feet long, printed on both sides, making four feet a new tiling. There is no magazine that eon cot un a fashion emial to Godey. iVe know that they are true, for we know who it is that gels the.u up. The read ing matter is decidedly good. Marion Harland's story will prove to bo the best.

This new Compound, prepared by a prac tical Chemist having a full knowledge of all the medical virtues of each ingredient that enters into its composition, is warran ted to exceed anything of the kind yet of fered to the public as an external applica tion for the diseases for which it is recom mnnded. We are satisfied that it will work its own road into the confidence of all who uso it, and those who try it once will never bo without it, and therefore wo rely on ex perience as the best test of its usefulness. It is pronounced by Farriers, and all who have tried it to be the best application ev er used. This Embrocation has been put up for over eight years, and it is only through the increasing demand and urgent request of my friends and the Public that 1 send it forth ns the grand remedial agent for the various diseases to which that noble and useful animal, the HORSE, issubject. Many remedies have been offered to the Public under different forms, some of these arc injurious, others at best of little use, and many wholly improper to answer tho' purposes for which they are recommended. A judicious and really useful composition free from thoso objections, has therefore long been desired by many gentlemen who have valuable horses, and are unwilling to trust them to the care of designing and nrettending Farriers. Their wishes are a length fully gratified, by Dr. Beale being prevailed upon to allow this valuable Em brocation (wluri has provcu so emcaeious to the various diseases) to be prepared and brought out to the public.
