Tho Agamemnon arrived this morning only,
having been engaged during the trip I'rum
Greenwich in the very vuluable service of
testing practically the form and suitubility of
the machinery to be used for paying out the
able.
To Mr. C. T. Bright is committed the en
tiro control and responsibility of depositing
in its ocean bed this wondrous example of
tbe united power of science and industry.
During the progress of thn Agamemnon to
the Downs, tbe mechanical appliances for
regulating tho delivery of tbe cable into the
sea were kept continually in motion by the
email engine on bourd, which is connected
with tbein ; the sheaves and gearing worked
with great facility and precision, and so quiet
that ut a short distance from them, tbeir
motion could scarcely be heard.
Tbe strength of tbe girders which carry
the bearing of tbe entire apparatus, and which,
to tho eye of a person unskilled in tho practi
cal working of this description af machinery,
may seem at first to be unduly ponderous,
was found to contribute greatly to the easy
notion and satisfactory steadiness of this
most important agent in tho success of tbe
undertaking.

A correspondent of the Silinsgrove Demo,
erat, strongly urges the construction of a
bridge over the Susquenanna at that place,
to connect with the Northern Centrul Rail,
road and offord an outlet, by Railroad, for oce
of the richest and most productive sections o
country in the Slate. We fully concur with
tbe writer in the following;
' I assert, without the fear of intelligent
contradiction, that at no point between liar
risbuig and Sunbury will there be as much
local tonnage and business thrown upon tbe
N. C. R., independent or the coal tonage, us
at Seliris Grove, in cute a bridge is built.
lJeiug the natural outlet of Snyder county for
thirty miles back, and draiuing one of the
the most fertile and productive valleys in the
Slate, it cannot but throw upon the Bridge
and Railroad a vast amount of business, and
which will be constantly increasing, as the
mineral weullb of tbe county is jubt begin
ning to be appreciated and developed."
The writer says they must look Tor aid rrom
their Baltimore Wends. A good bridge
would cost perhaps $70,000 or $80,000. Our
Baltimore friends would, no doubt, lend a
helping hand, but at present, while they re
quire all their energies for tbe completion of
the road, they wuuld cot, perhaps, look upoo
th project as favorably as tboy would bare.

We are somewhat at a lost to give' friend

Only 47 snmmers have passed over our bead

support of the "venerable," and although,
with Mr. M., we believe, we nave tome claim
to "tuptrior Democracy," it certaialy was not
on that account that we were thus promoted,
as it was composed of a large majority of tha
opposition. It tnunt have been owing to oar
good looks, and ireneroiis disposition. Either

Without intending to flatter the Colonel,
we must say that b is tha roost veneabU
looking man, considering hit age, that we
know of. As regards the "one gray hair,"
he may perhaps be in the lame condition of a
waggish friend, who made a wager that ha
had the finest head of hair in the room, where
upon he took off his wig, and exhibited a pin
feather edition or second crop of hair toftne
that it could hardly bo seen.
So far as "good looks" aro concerned,
friend Brewer, of the ''Montour American'1
may not be willing to concede his claims to
the Colonel, though it will not be disputed
that tboy were the "rival beauties" of the
Convention.

scribed by John Randolph, viz : "the five

Mr. Editor: News for the 'American'
where is it to come from ! for really, but
l.ttfo of pubiic interest has transpired recently
iu or about our little, sedate, sober faced
village, that reposes so Quietly on the bosom
of the uiot lovely expauitiou of Shauiokiu
valley.
Now I do not wish to insinuate that noth
ing of moment bus taken tduce iimong us
for here, as elsewhere, events aru constuiill
occurring, vitally important 111 themselves
winch, nevertheless ore passed unnoticed b
mo pressing llirotig tty the uminuted masses,
tuai puuse to iook only when a essuviun
convulsion, Etnean eruption, or joint olio
still less ordinary ..lonstrosity rocks the
cradle of the world, anil momentarily mono
polizes their passive observation.
But men in tbeir passion for greatness and
greut things are too often misled by their
zeal, uiul put a pseudo estimate upon the
very coaunodity they seem uspiriug for. Thev
do not seem to think as Shakespeate h la
he says :
"The jtrentrit ttutln are the liiaiilnt :
&i arr the greutrat Men."
Again we have from the Lutin, "That
which is great or splendid is not always luu
tlaolf, lint w haiever is luuauttt must be ureal
ueuce ini; inierence, tuui some 01 the more
"commonplace" events are really biyger will
greatness than tbe most ostentatious and
wonderful phenomena recorded in the lust orv
of men uud things. But let this be hm it
may, I do Dot inteud to write 11 disquisition
now on tlio vain ambitious and blind lollie
of weak men, whose deficiency consists not
so much in lack of power as iu lack of control
not so much in defect of kuowledge as in
defect of wisdom.
While Elysburg is one of the most diminu
tive '-Burghs" in the county, it is fur from
being the most despicable. Her mechanics
are of the first grade of workmen, some ol
whom are often sought to go a distance when
good structures iu the line of saw-mill, Hour
ing-mill, dwelling-house, or churches are to
bj built.
Tiia beat of whteli her wheelwiighta make,
And axletreci that "never break
Her ainilha all rivalry defy,
Ai ull the hod will twtify ;
Uueualed leather it maile hara,
At piii-ea juit "cleverly" dear ;
llrr adllcri aew llieir aniuii all neat,
And hurneai llluke that "can't tie beat."
To Fry'a we go for nhi and boota,
Whoae work weura well and alw.iya anita,
Her busy looma nvike cloiha that wear
Ai lot g aa life, and uevel ter ;
And if you want a coat well made,
Her taitora understand the trade.
Her merchants do fine goods supply,
At prices low to ull who buy,
Here, school committees ulwuys find,
Teaeln-rs to train the youthful mind ;
Her d-x-tors rank among the bes
That any people ever blest.
The standard of morals prevalent here
compares well with those found ut other
places. The Methodist aud Presbyterian
congregations each have a commodious and
neat church for public worship in fact, both
buildings are yet new aud handsome ; and
thete are three well conducted and flourishing
Sunday schools for the children und youth to
attend. No grog shops or liquor bur is
sustuiued here now, to spread its devastating
virus through the veins of onr hardy und in
dustrious denizens ; hence, broken windows,
empty cuplfourds, squullid families and drunk
en rubbles form no part in the present history
01 tins weii-io-uo community, neither is the
truveler tieglec'ed here ; but aid und comfort
is always to be found by the hungry, weary,
and way-worn ut the Temperunt d House
aud no traveler after enjoying a night's rest
under this hospitable roof finds a brick iu his
but upon starting in the morning.
There are other things I may make men
tion of ut sonie future time, i. e., if 1 have
not already exhausted your stock of putience.
Yours, cordially, H.
Communicattb.

Ma. Editor: I observe in the papers the
names of a number of persons as candidates
for the office of County Treasure. Permit
me to recommend Daniel IIkim. of Ujper
Mahonoy, to tbe voters of Northumberland
county as a suitable person for that oflice.
Major Ueim is a man in every respect quali
fied for that office and would undoubtable
give funeral satisfaction if elected.

working men or this portion of Northumber

Uarmei townships, are very anxious to tea
Oen. John Kay Clement, Dominated for th
State Senate., lie is yet a young man, full
of vigor, and, as all who know him will testify
as lull or intellect and Information as perhaps
any man in this county. He is withall a sound
and working democrat, and all who saw hia
efforts last rait, and heard his eloquent ap
peals, will bear evidence to his teal his abili
ty, and to the great good his services accom
plished, lie did hot bring himself out lor the
office, we are asking for him, and witn the
good sense and modesty of true merit, is not
and has not been traveling the county work
ing and asking for himself, he prefers, if nomi
nated at all, that the nomination sbaune the
free and voluntary gift of the people. Now will
not the people support htm all the mora wu
line Iy because he is not a wire pulling beg'
ging politician, but one of themselves, one
who hns always proven himseir their earnest
and sincere friend. Last winter, when no
one else thought of it, or cared either about
the people, not one of the other candidates
for tbe oflice we want to place him in, ever
thought of doing so much or half so much for
the people be went to llarrisburg several
times, prepared, 01 bis own accord, and bad
passed, a law protecting the wagea of the
mechanic, the miner aud the luborer, giving
him a first lien to the amount ol one bun
dred dollars for the wages of his labor in all
cases of the failure or assignment of their em
plover or employers. JVow do not toe peo
ple the working classes owe him their good
will fortius act, if they do not take Into ac
count his steady devotion to their interests
heretofore, a devotion that is known and can
be attested by thousands in this county, and
thousands on thousands in nchnylkili county,
where be fo-merly lived, and where tbe work
ing men and the young men were always with
him. Vote for your beBt friend who is able to
serve you we ask it he has cot been among
you to ask for it for Inmseli, but we waut'lo
honor him. One thing we are determined to
do, whether he is nominated or not, we are de
termined to present him with a token of our
regard. Two lailures in bhamoKin tins sum
mer have already proved the value of tbe law
which he got for us, by saving to us working
men an nggregute ol over lour thousand dol
lars We made up a purse of money and
offered it to him, but his disinterested heart
refused it ; he said be had only done his duty
and had pleasure enough in the act. We are
procuring and intend to present a suitable
testimonial a silver service. But the best
testimonial is our votes. Let us all vote
for bim.

Manny's Putetit, ninnnfactured at Jloesick

Reading by Boas Spungter. The machines
were worked by the owners or agents. Af
ter seeing the operation of the three ma
chines, we give our preference to the II us
sey Reaper and Mower, for the following
reasons.
1. We think it is tti most durable ma
chine.
2. It costs less than the Manny's and tbe
Ketchuin's.
3. It is very simple in its construction and
not liatile to get out ol order.
4. It is manufactured in this section of th
