The Patent Office at Washington City was lately robbed of several valuable articles which were worth about $15,000, consisting principally of presents from foreign governments.

An earthquake recently occurred in Guatamala, Central America, and several villages were entirely destroyed, and many inhabitants killed. The survivors were left destitute of food and shelter.

DENTISTRY

Dr. H. SMITH,

Has returned to make his usual yearly visit to Muncy, in his Professional capacity. and all those who need his services either in repairing or inserting new teeth, may be accommodated by leaving word at Mr. Kelchner’s Hotel, as he does not call from house to house, peddler-like, as some who profess dentistry do.

His charges are moderate and work warranted to be as good as can be done any where else in the State.

Families will be waited upon at their residence when requested.

Muncy, Dec. 25th, 1841.
