Eastman dealers in and manufacturers of Boots and Shoes, in this borough, have just received from the city a large stock of Ladies, and Misses Shoes and gaitors, of kid, French Glove Kid, Lasting, and other materials, and Mens, Boots and Shoes, which, owing to the fact that they deal exclusively in this line of goods, they are able to sell much below the prices prevailing in other stores in town. These Shoes are all well made, fashionable and are really cheap. This fact can be readily coroborated by calling at their stand on Tioga Tunkhannock Pa. The Tunkhannock Water Company have commenced the work of supplying the town with water. Six inch mains are to be put down with four inch connections.

The water will be brought down the turnpike, instead of through the fields. The supply of water in some parts of the borough is exceedingly limited, and we trust the work will be pushed forward with energy, as we have no doubt it will be. The Company expect to finish the work by August. When this is accomplished there will be plenty of water, as five large springs will be brought under tribute. The estimated cost is from $8,000 to $10,000.

An accident occurred in the Method if Church at Factoryville, on the 30th Which might have resulted disastrously but for the presence of mind of those there.

A party was given by the young men of oar borough on Friday evening last, at the residence of Mrs. P. B. Bald win. A large number were invited and were entertained profitably with reel tatinns, readings, aud pleasurably dancing, music, and carnally with well prepared and seasonable viands The festivites were kept up until a late (or early hour in the-morning.

The expression of satisfaction is general. On Friday last Henry W. Hard ing, of this place, met with a dreadful accident. He was engaged as brake- man on the L. V.

and while en gaged in coupling cars at Pittston, he was caught between the bumpers of two ears and had his abdomen horribly crushed. He lived in heart-rending agony five hours after the accident. Mr. Harding was about 2-1 years of age, and though he lived among us but three years.heaequired many faithful aud lasting friends. He was a professor of re ligion, and always conducted himself in harmony with his professions.

He served his country honorably in the re cent war, and endured for a long tim ti.e norrors oi Anderson vi lie prison His remaius were taken iu charge by the G. A.

your excellent paper. And in the first place I will say, the woather is fine, and vegetation is flourishing nicely. Some verv beautiful nieces of winter grain, oats, and spring wheat, in this neighborhood look quite promising, i aud I may add, grass also bespeak a bountiful harvest. Com in nlaces is just coming up, while others are still I planting, ue.e is umre man au avei- age amount being put into the ground this spring. So if our census takers" will postpone their business until auoth er year, thy will have larger crops to report than at present, but I suppose the powers that be" have wiser, if not larger heads than mine, so I forbear die- tation wholly in the matter.

I must tell you of a freak of electricity, or rather a supposed freak, as it killed two nice Devon yearlings, belonging to Mr. Willis Walker in. the southern part of farm joins Wyoming. The yearlings were about six feet apart, in a corn field. It was during a storm on the 18th.

We were also visited with quite a severe storm of wind and rain on the afternoon of Saturday the 21st( prostrating trees and fences, all thro' the neighborhood, and a cow-shed bea longing to Mr. David Amey was blown down. Mr. T. S.

Lymau has disposed of his farm to Rev. J. S. Lewis, aud has purchased his brother, G. Lyman's farm.

The prospect for fruit in this part of the country is very flattering. Since our Legislature at Harrisburg, last winter, shut down ou the killing of black and gray squirrels, the boys are rather indignant, but the game are finding rest. I see by the Independent Republican, ot Montrose, frequent ac counts of large lambs and pigs, tall briars, and other mammoths. Nowt away with all your nonsense for the present, and let me say something about hop vines. There is one standing now on the farm I live on that has growu 13 feet this season, and grown 11 inches in twenty-four hours.

Who cau beat that. I will wait patiently to hear from all interested. H. A. Spencer.

Skixjsehs Eddy, June 4, 1870. Mr. Editor You will please excuse me it I do aoz mucn or interest from this place, for the fact is, my "large farm with splendid orchard of white Gill-flowers," my foundry," my store," my vast amount of lumber," my terry," dec, takes up so much of my time that I have but little time to pick up locals." Nevertheless I get sales for all my calves, af pies, plows, dry goods, and in fact business is prospering finely with, all hereabouts. The R. R.

Co. keep five or six teams grading about depot, and will, it is believed, connect the back sidling with the main track. The com pany are also casing the bridge across the Tuscarora creek at this place. The lumber business is lively at present. We learn that more cars are loaded daily than the R.

R. Co. will ship, aud have stipulated a certain number of cars to be shipped per day. Mr. E.

Sharp alone has for the last five or six days shipped some twenty car-loads of lumber. The country round about is so situated that this is a great central point, also the roads leading or center ing here are good ayd comparatively level we also have as good a ferry for those living across the river as any along the whole course, and J. C. Stur-devant, the proprietor, is always on hand at the word over." To show the amount of travel at this one ferry and the business doing here, just for one week, we learn that 150. teams crossed, beside footmen.

Furman, Waller Co. are adding repairs to their foundry, and we think if their new fan, which they are putting up does not 'gin out, they will be likely to do some tall bloiving. L.Smith and John Pulis have their building enclosed and are preparing to put up their machinery. They have put up a very fine screw-cutting machine aud lathe, and probably will put in more a3 fast as possible. Geo.

L. Kennard we see has commenced to make some improve ments in front of his house in the way of masonry, to protect the bank and for the purpose of grading his yard. Sabbath school has just started under the superintendency of E. C. Furman, who has just begun life at this place, and who seems to take great interest in the spiritual interests of the place.

We ask for hiin the hearty co-operation of all lovers of Sabbath schools. And here let me add, that a fence around the church, especially during cow-pasturing time, would add materially to the looks of the place, and would save po-liceing" of a sabbath morn. Our place, we learn, is to hav a Good Templar Lodge instituted this week. The new landlord at this place, we understand, keeps a well-regulated house for the accommodation of the traveling public. We hope he does not keep open bar ou the Sabbath.

At present writing the weather is very dry, and had we as iruch terra firma as a good sized onion bed, we would earnestly petition for raiu, as every thing here is as dry as a certain backslider Templar, who, having kept his pledge about six mouths and laid up about $100, concluded the road was too narrow and therefore took to the fields. But such is life. Yours, truly, Braintkim. KAB3IAS3S. Flinn Harris.

MOWER AND THE BEST IS ALWAYS CHEAPEST. THIj Awarded First Pzize, Grand Gold Medal, for Best Mover, at National Field Trial, Auburn, July, 1866. This niachine is well known everywhere. It has been on trial in Wyoming county over twelve yeai's, and has met with universal approbation. Between 100 and 200 machines are now in use, and we can refer any one in want of a superior Mower and Reaper to any of the owners of the Buckeye in this county.

THE BUCKEYE is undergoing important improvements from year to year, and with its rapid motion and jointed tongue, by means of which we are enabled to cut from two to twelve inches in height without stop ping the team, we can confidently bid any machine now in the market. i THE BUCKEYE REAPER is now rigged with platform, dropper, or self-rake, aud purchasers can have all or either, applied to the same machine. -1 The Buckeye excells all machines in durability, simplicity, strength, and cleanliness of work. Fixtures for machines will be kept at six or eight different places within the county, and are consequently always convenient. A large supply will always he kept on hand at home.
