We learn that D. C. Cole has been re moved from the Post Office at Peru, and John Patterson appointed. The appointee is one of the rankest Copper-Democrats in this county, and only shows the path "My Policy" intends to pursue. D. C Cole gave the moit general sltisfaction to all who received their mail matter at that office, and his removal will be gene rally regretted. Last Friday evening, Rev. Mr. Cari ron. a Catholic Missionery, who, during C7 the past summer has been preaching at Rub), delivered a free Lecture in this city. It was well attended and is favo rably spoken of. We learn that Mr Cancon desires to be cnanjrea to mis -0 - city, and if he is, intends building a Catholic Church here. We wish him success in both, and have heard many of our citizens express themselves thu3. We learn that Mr. Wm. Varney's house in London, in this county, was de stroyed by fire about 10 o'clock last Sun day morning.. It was a total loss. The Louse was 1SX2G ; loss between feur and five hundred dollars. It was occu pied, free of rent, at the time by Mr. Seymour, a perfect cripple unable to do any kind of labor, whose furniture was mostly saved but considerably dam aged. The loss will bear heavily upon both, and a friendly lift from neighbors and others would be kindcess rell be stowed. After "swinging several times round the circle."

While we are pleased to see this sign of prosperity in a business joint of view, we cannot but regret the lack of enter prise which places thern so near the river, upon a small patch of level ground, in preference to cutting down a' lot or so of that unsightly hill and placing them up on a permanent location and improving the Levee at the same time. We be lieve, it would pay them big. The great drawback, we adroit, is the high price ot labor, yet we beliexe it will pay. in passing through St. Deroin, recent ly,, we had the . pleasure of stepping into Mr. A. J. Ritter's store.-aod were trully surprised to see bi$ Mammoth Stock of Goods. Mr Rilter is an old experienced hand at lhe -tusinesa; we found that his Goods have been -selected with great judgement, adapted to the wants of the community, and marked down 89 marvel uuy low aolotlefy competition from any quarter. Call and see him or his gen tlemanly f Clerk, Peter Fraker, you will always find them on hand with a rousing stock of Goods and accommodating. b8 tf A case- of shop lifting has just been mentioned to us by W. W Hackney, of the New York Store; -Last Tuesday a female , plainly dressed but wearing a large shawl, entered his store, apparently to purchase goois, but ere she left a set of hoops were missed, she was charged with the theft and finally gave them up. This is not her first offense as we learn, she evidently being an old hand at the business. We do not remember the par ticular description given of her, only that she has a large tusk-like tooth in the front of the tipper jaw. Look out for the tusk, ye Dry Goos dealers, if you don't want to get bit. Why suffer from Dyspepsia when so potent, so tafe, and, o certain a remedy can'be procured -so easily. Coe's Dys pepsia Cure is a perfect specific for the disease. A single dose will demonstrate l fact. .Let Uiose who are , troubled with Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Cdnstipa 0Dj Sic, rnakc but cne trial; ' LtrsrSatnrday-our citizens were ttartl ed into aa unusual activity by . the cry of 4,Fire,' find' a grand -rush was7 made; for. the scene of conflagration, the residence of Mr. Moses Conner in bcuth Urown- ville. Happily the fife was extinguished before more than 50 dollars damage was done. We cannot too hkbly exto the energy of our fire department, par ticularly the intrepid conduct of James Coleman, who rushed up under the roof inside, amid smoke and flame, and threw water upon the fire, where it did im mensely more good than that which forty or fifty persons were energetically pour ing through a hole in the roof upon his back. The origin of the fire was purely accidental, and, from what we leam blame can attach la no one. A remarkable fact is that not a single instance has come to the knowledge of C W. Roback of a failure of his bitters to give satisfaction in the thousand of cases in which they have been u$ed, is worthy of remark,, and undeniable evidence of their intrinsic virtue OFFICIAL.

Broumvillc Nebraska, NOTICE, THE 3I0DEI SEWING MACHINE. (From the New Tor. Herald) Prominent araW the mechanical triumphs of this most Ingenious age, common honesty compels us to no tice the Empire Sewing Machine, commended as justly strley perfection itself Useful as have been the va rious sewing machines, from time to time presented to the public, each one or them has teen cursed with some radio 1 ('efect, which detracts from general util ity. Warned by the experience of his predecessors, the inventor of the Erie Machine has produced an In strument, combining all the advantages for which others are vaunted, and obviating every defect which can be attributed to them by tbe most fastidious critic. The Empire Machine is a marvelous combination of simplicity, econemy and perfect workshlp, being dura ble, free from liability to get out ol order, noiseless and easy of operation. Its mechanical contrivance Is sucli as to secure stability, freedom from accident, and accuracy as to w rkraanship. By the use of the pat ented shuttle and straight needle it makes a. stitch, which can neither rip nor ravel while, at the same time, it can operate perfectly upon every species of material from leather to cambritfe, with ihreaps of cot ton, linen or silk from the finest to the coarsest num ber. As the Empire Machine is gradually supplanting Its more antique rival? no one In wast of a usefei lnstrn ment of thiS discriptloh be te or she tailor, eoacisma ke, dressmaker cr seamstress, can do otherwtsl tba'a secure one of these econmical and inimitable maohiaes suited alike for family and manufacturing purposes. Tbe office of the Empire Menuracturing Co. Is at No. 636 Broadwoy, New Tork City, where they are now supplying these Empire Machines at prices far below tbe real value of the instruments.
