The Cameron Herald of last week contains tbe following timely suggestions on what is popularly known as tlio "Lo cal Option Law" of tlio State, and upon Which the people ot Elk County are to pass at the coming Countyelections on tho 11th of February, 1873. The Her ald says: "The Legislatnre having delegafcd to the people the ritihf to repeal the liquor license law of the State, by counties, a very important question will arise in those counties where the people vote for no license. As thcie are no reservations or exceptions in the act, it is suggested that when the people of a county vote for no license, they have, so far as that county is concerned, repealed the pres ent liquor law, penalties and all. If such be the case, then there would be noth ing to prevent the indiscriminate sale of liquor lti the county; there would be no , law authorizing a conviction for selling, or if convicted no penalties to inflict. W o do not propose at this tinio to ex press our own opinion on the question, but leave it for the discussion of those more directly interested," It will be found that the law is em braced in three sections, two of which are to be found in the sheriff's election proclamation. The 3d section provides that it shall not bo lawful for any court, or license commissioners to giant license to any person, or persons, m any City or county where a majority of the voters shall declare against the operation of the license law. It further provides that the law shall not be construed so as to effect license to druggists to sell for medicinal purposes. The last proviso of the section referring to the time of holding the mu nicipal election in the Borough of Leb anon. Now it will be seen by referaiicc to the law that it simply authoiizcs the electors of the cities and couuties in the Commonwealth, to declare the license law operative, or inoperative ouce in three years. If a mnjority of the "otcrs shall say '-no license" in any city, boro., or couuty iu the State, then so far as that city, boro. or couuty is coucerned, tbe courts or license commissioners cau- not gran license except to druggists for medicinal purposes. There are no pains or penalties attached to the law, no means are prescribed for prosecutiu persons who may sell liquor in any dis trict declaring against the operation of the license law. The license law in all its parts is inoperative in such district, aud for the term of three years stands as though no license law with its pains and penalties stood upon our statute book. In our judgment the law is very incomplete. A Michigan Saw Mill.-The Sa inaw Courier says that by no means the largest, but certainly one of the liveliest mills on the river is that of Sears & Hol land. With a capacity of 1G,000,000 leet per season for an ordinary season running 12 hours a day, thoir mill cut last year 10,107,403 feet of lumber aud l,314,0o0 pieces of lath. Of cojise to accomplish this the mill run nights a portion of the time. This falls a little short of last season's cut, but it must be remembed that the season opened very late, closed tolerable early, and that the mill shut down about a month durio" the strike last season- All thinss coo sidcred, we do not believe a mill on the river can show a better record. The armament of the . mill consists ot one gang, one circular and one mulay saw. Sixty-five is the number of men employ ed about the mill. In connection with the mill there were manufactured 421,- 577 staves, and 10.802 barrels of salt were manufactured in the salt block con nccted with the mill. Great Railroad. With the close of the year the Atchison, Toptka and Santa Fe railroad was completed to the west line of the State of Kansas. This road is four hundred and eighty miles long, and runs from Atchison, iu the northeast corner of the State to the ex treme southwestern corner. From the point now reached tho road will immediately strike Publo, Col., at which point direct connection will be made with roads now almost completed with the Pacificooast and Sau Francisco. Pueblo is only a few miles from the northern 4ine of New' Mexico. From some point on the main line the manage ment will construct a branch down iuto New Mexico, and thus open up a vast country rich in minerals and agricultural resources, but now almost entirely with out communication with tbe rest of the world. Gazette & Bulletins. During the year 1872 the Northern Centeral railroad delivered 22,854,458 feet of lumber at Baltimore, and the grain reached 1,577,794 bushels. The traffio of tbe year shows an increase of 76,446 tons over tho business of 1871' Election Proclamation' Whereas, in and by tho 1st Section of the Act of the General Assembly ol Pennsylyania passed the 17th day of March, IS (2, entitled, "An Act to per mit the voters of this Commonwealth to vote every three years upon the question of granting licenses to sell intoxicating liquors, it is enjoined unjn tho Sheriff of every county to give notico of sucli election to be held, and in pursuance thereof, I, D.

Th9 Gold In the Wurid- A correspondent ot the Rutland Her ald who has recently consumed Hon. Atuasa Walker on tho above topio jrives his answer. There has been no exact data of the annual gold supply, except f ince the year 1818, when the California discoveries were made. 1 revmus to that time Humboldt estimated the world's stock of gold at $10,000,000,000, al though the authorities widely differ ou the subject. The gold product, from 1810 down to the present tinio appears to have been as follows: Three years, 1840 '51 $l:!!l,K0 000 Fivo " iBoii'&u ii:ti,4im uuu Kivo " 1H57 673,3-r)) 000 Five " 18(12 'liO 510,015 000 Five " 1807 '71 605,1!03 000 Total S2.403.O85.OOO Mr. Walker says that the amounts not reported would bring the total, in his opinion, fully up to S2, 500,0(10,000 The proportion of the metal which has been used iu the arts cannot be determin ed by any certainty.but it has been vastly greater since the discoveries in Calilor nia and Australia than before. Ou the 'other hand, tho hoarding of gold has doubtless diminished during the period referred to iu all the countries of Christ endom. He tlTinks that about $1,050, 000,000 have been added to the coin ot the world tsiuco IS IS. The dollar con tains 25 8-10 grains. The ounce weight is 480 grains, which divided by 25.8 grains, is 818 00 4 per oz., Troy. But the standard of fineness of the coin dif fers iu different countries. Sand If one should give me a dish of sand and tell me there were particies of iron in it, I might look for them with my clumsy Gugers, and be uuable to de tect them, let me take a magnet ana sweep through it, and how it would draw I to itself the most invisible particles by mere power of attraction. Tho unthank ful heart like my finger in the sand, dis covers no mercies! but let the thankful heart sweep through the day, as the mag net fiuds the iron, so it will find iu every hour some heavenly blessing; only the iron in God's sand is gold. O. W. Holmes. Postal Telkghai'HY. A proposition was made at the late session of Congress, lo establish a system of telegraphy, un der the protection of the government, whereby rapid tiausit of intelligence could be had at greatly reduced rates. This proposition, it seems to us, is in tended to coufer a 7ust benefit upon the people at large, though it is exceedingly distasteful to the Telegraph Monopolies of the country, aud will meet., from them, with a strenuous opposition. 1'Tie argument advauced against it by these capitalists is at fault. They say the General (iovcruuicnt would assume undelegated powcrand subvert the rights of private citizens. But tho saiuo might have been said against the U. S- mail system, and yet that system has proven both necessary and beneficial. The fact is', these monopolists of the Telegraph business will be checked in their extra ordinary career, by the establishment ol such a syateiu of communication, uid the masses would be greatly the gainers. Epitomist. The UeruhV annual stitemeut of the lake commerce of Cleveland for 1872, shows that the imports amounted iu val ue to 820,210010. Including in this total 177,338,000 feet of lumber, valued at 83,510.700; 41,133,000 lath, valued at 8185,099;' 03,557,000 shingles, valu" cd 239,950; and 135,308 bairels of salt, valued at 338,270- These figuiesshow that Cleveland is not only one ol"the gieat markets of the country, hut is es pecially such for our great staples. A Severe accident happeud to our worthy townsmen, Mr. W. II. Schram, on Tuesday last. He was driving his team towards the depot, when nearly op posite the hotel of Mr. Robert Warner's, the whillltrec boll (1 roped out, causing the tongue of the sleigh to diop down which lrighteued the horses into a run. Mr. S. was thrown over tho dash-board striking the ground ou his back, two or three feet beyond the end of the sleigh tongue. He is coufined to his bed aud is in a suffering couditiou. Oua friend and old neighbor, E. South er Esq., we are pleased to learn is fast recovering from his attack of rheuma tism. Hitherto Mr. Souther has been for weeks confined to his bed wheu this terrible disease uiade its attack upon him, now iu less than seven days he is per mitted to be setting with his family, and why? Simply because Dr. T. S. Ilartly, the Physician of the Couuty, has attend ed him. The Phrenological Journal l'oi Jan. 1873, is ou our table, presenting a splend id table of tonteuts.
