We make a few extracts A few years have made many changes in and about Tunkhannoek and, for the most part, these changes have been decidedly for the better socially, morally and materially. It has always been one of the most democratic of places and to-day there is so little of class-distinction in its social life that the respect in which a man is held is no rule by which to judge of the estimate that would be put pon him in the business world. It is not exactly a contempt for dollars and cents, but a sort of family interest that all have in the welfare and good name of their neighbors. Hence it is a most desirable residence for the man of moderate means or the industrious and fullyem-ployed mechanic. When the Pennsylvania and New York railroad was building there was a great demand for dwellings far beyond the supply business was brisk, money plenty, rents were advanced and real estate leaped to prices that were extravagantly fictitious.

As a consequence large additions were made to the town, new streets were laid out, many buildings were erected, and the place seemed to be newly vitalized and in a fair way to become of importance as a railroad center. But the railroad was completed, the temporary influx of inhabitants moved on, and the ambitious dream of Tunkhannoek was over, for the time. It settled down into its old peaceful ways, wiped away the tears of disappointment and ploded on. The narrow gauge railroad now in course of construction from Tunkhannoek to Montrose has raided new hope in the breasts of some.but the majority, having profited by past experience, are not over sanguine, and rather inclin ed to await tests before glorifying. The truth is, much depends upon the amount of business Somerset Seliof Fund Wellersburg Coal, Iron, Fire-Clay Timber-Land Company.

fl.t Wood for conducting water has been used from time immemorial, and among all the various inventions and improvements discovered in which water can be carried so pure, clean and healthful as wood. The durability of wood under water, and even its indestructibility is beyond question. This being the case, pipe made of wood, and kept constantly filled with water will not decay on the inside, and the only question remaining is. can it be so prepared as to prevent decay on the outside It is obvious that a coiting which shall be impervious to air and moisture and at tbe same time indestructible, will accomplish this. During tho last fifteen years careful and extensive experiments with various materials for coating have been mado, and the pipe covered with the various kinds from time to time taken up and examined.

A substance prepared from aspbaltum and properly applied is found to be exactly what is wanted. The quostion of durability deing disposed of, the next is etreugth, Can it be made strong enough to sustain tho necessary pressure Experiments made in 1660 in Rochester, N. by Daniel Marsh, Civil Engineer, proved pipe made in this manner to be capable of sustaining a pressure of Nine Hundred and Forty Feet head of water. The strength of tho pipe of course dopends mainly upon tbe iron bands, and these can be made of any required dimensions, so that this kind of pipe can be made to suit any desired head. Another question important to be considered is, will not tho bauds rust1! AVe answer, the bands are wound on spirally by machinery, and as they are laid on are passed through a preparation similar to the coating, which an experience of more than ten years in the water works of Elmira, which are built entirely of this pipe, prove to be perfectly cSective for this purpose, as frequent examinations of the pipe show the bands to ba as perfect as when put down in I860.

Of the bealthfulness of this pipe, and of its superiority in this respect over iron or cement there can be no question. And when laid complote th? cost is but little than one half. PRICE LINT. OF FINISHED WATER PIPE. The Somerset Calamity.

Our readers, doubtless, will all remember the great calamity, which befel the towu of Somerset, by fire in May last, which laid waste the greater part of the business portion of the place. An effort is being made, as will be seen by an advertisement in another column, to rebuild the town and restore, if possible, the the business of the place. We commend the enterprise to the favorable consideration of a charitable and generous public. All wishing to take shares in the proposed distribution of property will consult with A. L.

Avery, at his music store in this place. T. B. Wall, who livtB on his farm just outside the Borough limits, is a model farmer. We saw a stalk of corn grown on his place this season, measuring twelve feet in length.

Who can beat it He has a young apple or" chard, not over four years old, bearing fine fruit and a more thrifty lot of trees one seldom meets with. An elegant new barn just going up, 30x60 feet, with underground stabling, our farmer friends would do well to examine and pattern after. Whatever Mr. Wall undertakes prosecuted upon the principle that what worth doing at all is worth doing well." The last issue of the Tunkhannoek Republi can charges that Hon. R.

R. Little, of this county, is opposed to Greeley." We do not say that the editor did know, but he ought to have known that the above statement is utter untrue. Like many eminent Democrats, Mr. Little was, certainly, outspoken in his opposition to Mr. Greeley's nomination at Baltimore but since the two tickets were formed, he has uniformly expressed a very decided preference for Greeley.

Railroad Accident. The down train from Waverly on the L. V. Railroad.last Monday evening, struck Henry Barnes who lives on Brewery Hill, Wilkes-Barre, while he was standing on the track at a point- near Plains- ville. His leg was broken in two places, and he was severely bruised in several parts of the body, the fracture of the leg being so bad that amputation was considered necessary.

The train was moving at the usual speed of passenger trains, and although he, was seen ani the alarm given by both whistle and bell, it was too late to stop. Pittston Gazette.

If it pays to Montrose, its extension to Bing-hamton will pay, and Tunkhannoek being a transfer station will necessarily be greatly benefitted. Repair shops will probably be erected here and other industries introduced of which we now have no thought, for it is a well known fact that business will thrive wherever facilities are provide for it. There are many, very many pretty and sub stantial homes, and there is a general air of comfort and neatness about the village that is pleasing and attractive but there are no really elegant buildings here, although there are a few which are somewhat pretentions and would be classed among the fine residences in almost any inland town or city. For many years Tunkhannoek has been a desirable stopping place for weary travelers commodations, and it is still particularly happy in that respect." Bold Robbery. Lackawanna, a small sta tion on the Lack.

Bloomsburg R. a short distance from Pittston, was the scene of a bold robbery on Thursday morning last. The following are the particulars. At 2 o'clock on Thursday morning the residence of Mr. Newman Brown was entered by six men, who were masked and armed with revolvers and billies.

The Valley Journal says Mrs. Brown hearing a noise got up and went out into the sit ting room, and there encountered this party of ruffians, one of whom was carrying a lantern. She called for help, but before Mr. Brown had time to get to her, four of the villians rushed into the bedroom, and after a struggle, in which Mr. Brown was beat and kicked in such a manner that he was almost insensible, they then took the sheets from the beds, and tearing them in strips, bound Mr.

Brown firmly to the beadstead. They also tied one strip around his throat in such a manner that in case he tried to exticate himself or move his hands it would choke him. "Mrs. Brown was wrapped in a bedquilt and her hands firmly secured behind her and bound to a chair. They then asked for the money, and said if they did not tell where it was, they would.kill all in the house, that they had been told that there was $1,000 in the house.

They went through the house from cellar to garret, and took two $500 bonds, and seventy cents in cash, besides Innumerable things to eat. The numbers of the bonds are known and an attempt to negotiate them may lead to their detection." "Mr. Brown was badly bruised Mrs. Brown sustained no injuries, except by the tightness of the bandages which bound her." Democratic County Convention. In our paper to-day will be found a call for the election of Delegates to the Democratic County Convention, to be held in Tunkhannoek, on Monday, the 2d of September next.

All per sons opposed to the present corrupt National Administration, and who desire the defeat of the military Ring at Washington and the Treasury Ring at Harrisburg, are invited to participate in electing delegates on Saturday the 31st inst. None but the very best men should be selected for delegates, which will in sure the nomination of good and unexceptionable candidates for office and in order to secure so desirable a result there should be a full turn-out of the electors at the delegate elections. The primary elections are of the utmost importance, and should not be overlooked by the great mass of Democratic and Conservative voters. This fall nearly all of the County offices are to be filled and to secure good and competent men for the several places of trust, requires the utmost vigilance and watchful care and to the voters is entrusted this important duty. Let them select their very best men for delegates, and they will give us a ticket that will command the united and hearty support of the party, and its election will be comparatively easy.

Look out for the Scamp. Chief of Police Knapp is iu receipt of a letter from a gentleman at Roaring Branch, warning the public against a swindler calling himself J. G. Saxon, pretending to be a Mason, Odd Fellow, and Knight of Pythias. He is traveling on the make and obtaiuing sums of money by representing himself as a post-office detective.

He borrows the money and promises to return it within twenty-four hours. When the time Is up he isn't there. He is medinm iu height, sandy hair, heavy moustache, and has lost his right arm, but wears a false one with a glove on the hand, dark coat and pants, white duck vest, Leghorn hat. He also carries a linen duster. When he left here he obtained about $15,00 of two parlies.

Look out for him. El mira Gazette. Crocodile in the- Susquehanna. The crocodile with John Robinson's Circus was in jured in the recent accident in Connecticut, and thereby lost eight or ten inches of his tail Since that time he (or she) has been unwell and apparently near death. On Thursday it was concluded to throw it into the river, as it was useless.

It was done, and the reptile gave a dive which was altogether unexpected, since which time he has not been seen, although' it is believed he is alive and will recover. The koys have now done swimming for this season. Towanda Item. Greeley and Brown Club. The Greeley and Brown Club of the Borough of Tunkhan nock, met at the Court House on Saturday evening, Aug.

vey a faint idea, of the fearful calamity, in as few words a possible. About 4 o'alock p. on Thursday, ninth of May, a fi'e broke out in the western part of the town; a fierce wind was blowing at the time, and all efforts to check the flames proved futil e. In less than two hours this once beautiful town was laid in ashes. The extent of ground over which the destructive ele ment raged, is about thirty acres in the central part of the town, including all the stores and hotels, snve one of each all the banks and offices, including two printing oftices, nil places of busi ness except public buildings.

One -third of the area of the solidly built, and nearly the entire business part ol the town is in ruins, and' certainly three-fourths of the wealth of the plaee is destroyed. The fire raged with such relentless fury that the terror-stricken people had to flee lor their lives, and consequently but little of personal property was saved. Indeed, many escaped with bo other clothing than that upon their person at the time. To a large number of the suuerers it is a total loss of every thing they possessed, and they are left houseless and homeless, without a thing in the world and dependent upon the public for bread, Others, upon whom the calamity is not so severe, are greatly in need of aid to enable them to take another start in the battle of life. The loss will not fall short of a million of dollars, and the total amount of insurance will not exceed one hundred thousand dollars.

Generous public, that in the past has responded so nobly to the ciy for help from foreign lands, and to the appeals of our own countrymen who have suffered like direful calamities, we call opoi jbu in behalf of this suffering but hopeful people FOR AID -SUBSTANTIAL AID. Your charities ill confer a lasting favor upon them, and we sincerely hope that jn the exercise of your liberality and generosity, it will be like the quality of mercy, not straineJ, but twice blessed, blessing him that gives and him that takes."

The Ithaca Journal remarks The Ithaca and Athens Railroad Company will send out surveyors next week to lay out a line of road from Factoryville to Waverly.

The distance is only a mile, and when this branch is built the road will connect directly with th'e Erie. They propose running their passenger trains to Factoryville and thence to Waverly, their freight only going through to Athens. This will unquestionably increase the passenger traffic of the road, as it will be the most expeditious route to the west for all people in that section. Our Waverly frientls, too, must derive great benefit from this new link to their network of converging roads." Building Association. At a.

itors or purchasers. Tunkhannoek, July 30, 1872. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, For the relief and cure of all derangements in the stomach, liver, and bowels. They are a mild aperient, and an purga-utive. Beineoure- ly vegetable, they contain no mer-s cury or mineral ii whatever.

Much serious sickness and suffering is prevented by their timely use; and every family should have them on hand for their protection and relief, when required. Long experience has proved them to be the safest, surest, and test of all the Fills with which the market abounds. By their occasional use, the blood is purilied, the corruptions of the system expelled, obstructions removed, and the whole machinery of life restored to its healthy activity. Internal organs which become clogged and sluggish are cleansed by Aijer'x Villa, and stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease is changed into health, the value of which change, when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy it, can hardly be computed.

Their sugar-coating niakes them pleasant to take, and preserves their virtues unimpaired for any length of time, so that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable. Although searching, they are mild, and operate without disturbance to the constitution or diet or occupation. Full directions are given on. the wrapper to each box, how to use them as a Family Physic, and for the following complaints, which these 1'tus rapiuiy cure: For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, LUt-league, Lanoor, and JLoss of Appetite, they should be taken nfoderately to stimulate the stomach, and restore its healthy tone and action. For Ijiver Complaint and its various symptoms, Bsilious Ileailacbc, Sick Headache, Jaundice or ftreen Sick.

neai, Villous Colic and llilious Fe Tern, they should bo judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action, or remove the obstructions which cause it. For Dyecntery or Diarrhoea, but one mild dose is generally required. For itheumatism, Gont, Gravel, Palpitation ot the Heart, Xaiii in the Side, Mack, and they should be continuously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change those complaints disappear. For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings, they should be taken in large and Ire-, quent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge.

For Suppression, a large dose should be taken, as it produces tbe desired effect by sympathy. Asa Uinner Pill, take one or two Pills to promote digestion, and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often advantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus.
