Now the grain falls oyer Ave bushels short the amount loaned, nnd In quality sjreciilngs, dirt, and a little rye.

An Old Land Mark one During the past week the stono f ro:n the old chimney of the guard house at Paupack, which was built in the year 1777, or early in 1778, have I been removed, and nre now doing service under the ground, having beon used in making an underdrain, to make more tillable a piece of land on what was once the Calvin Pellett farm, but now owned and occupied by the Killams. The stirring evonts of long ago are known but little about. Time in its onward course is scattering decay over the earth. Whenever we look about us we see such proofs of the great changes wrought by his all-powerful hand, and wo can almost imagine we hear the tramp of his advancing stop, and catou the sound of falling ruius. The rooks are yielding to decay, and the forests fall, crumbling into dust. All nature, indeed, grows old and dies. Greece, onoe tlie light of the world, and Rome the terror of all nations, have lost their ancient lustre and power. Time has dim med their formor glory. From whenoe came the Mound Builders, whose works bear the mark of me chanical thought and mind? How little we know of the long past, and oven now we know not within so reoent a period of one hundred and twenty years, who built and occu pied the Paupack fort and guard house. History, sometimes as un reliable as iEjop's Fables, teaches Us that our forofathers landed at Plymouth' Rock, along the Eastern coast, when" all the gathered laots prove quite conclusively that they came ashore ana first trod the American soil In another place. It is a fact, however, that there was here on the easterly side of this beautiful Paupack valley a century or more ago, a stockade or fort with a guard honse attachment j that a person came on foot through the then great forests, from Wyomiug Valley in the night time to warn the settlors of their great danger of being killed by the red man's bullet or scalping knife. All this we be lieve to be true because our grand fathers ana grandmothers tola us so. We know the name or the great captain that rode from Winchester to Cedar Creek, and the black charg er that carried him so quickly hence, all of which has been celebrated in song, and will forever remain fam ous. But who was he and what the name of him who on foot aud alone, braved the dangers of a lurking foe, through forest and stream, that our people here might seek safer and less dangerous places than their newly adopted homes.

(nr Pprirlnl Correspondent at Harrlsbnra; Writes on Matters of Vital Impor tance to Every Cltfcen of the Key stone State. Harrisburii, April 18-With all in terests centered on the United States Kennto and House of Representatives (luring the past week, the attention of the stnte officials has been partial ly abstracted from their ordinary duties and it is quite evident that t hey now anticipate active hostilities Governor Hnstings is non-committal on the vitnl subjects now being con sidered by our representatives at Washington, saying that he has eonfllenee in the President and the two brunches of Congress, but the Resolution that was passed by the Pennsylvania Letrislatnre in the- '97 nessiou and to which on February 36th the Governor affixed his Riff. inture, plainly shows just what his entiments nre. Tho resolutions ead as follows : "Resolved, that tl'ie TjORlHlatnre of Pennsylvania express ;ts sympathy for the struggling mtriols of Cuba; that wo in- (tract our Senators and request our tepresentntives in the Congress of lie United Rtatos to use all honor able means to bring about the pas- nage of an act of Congress recogniz ing the independence of the Cubans who are struggling for their lives 'Mid liberty, which God has ordained shall be the heritage rf all men." And with nil the different views that have been expressed by onr State officials the probability of Con vening the Legislature in siwciitt session is freely discussed. What it could aecotii'iUsh at this time is nuzzlins intu.-i-ogativo, but yet it is firmly belived by some that unless the si tuition improves considerably within the next week the Governor vi1 1 issue such a call. If our Na tional Guard is in as fine a condition is ropi-esoiited, and all war equip limn. are up to iiie sHinaara, it is mm to conjecture why suoh course would be pursued. As to finances, Governor Hastings has suf ficient power at present to draw on the treasury and it is well-known that if the troops are called into ac tive service the Federal Government assumes all the expense connooted therewith. 8o what could the Legislature accomplish if it were to convene in extra session? It would do nothing but pass resolutions augur, pussioiy vest, a little more power in the Governor, and this folly would cost the State upwards of i,ooo,ooo. . . - DEPARTMENT NOTES In speaking on "The Comparative Study of Civil Government" at the Ohester teachers institute, State Superintendent Schoeffer said : "We ought to teach more about the sys tern of taxation in presenting" the study of civil government. It is human nature not to like to pay tax es, and yet if we were as patriotic as we should be we should delight as tnuoh to do this as to shout for our country on a Fourth of July" What he considers to be shaky building and loan associations are baing considerably stirred up by Banking Comissionor Gilkeson. Very little attention is being paid ou the llill to the gubernatorial struggle, the war scare taking its place on the argument list. Road Improvement. A survey was made last week of the Cummings hill in Westfall with a view to reducing the grade. R is proposed to raise the county bridge across the creek three ' feet, permis siou ha ving been obtained to do so, and straighten the road leading to it by filling in a small piece of ground which has been bought of Cummings and to take eight feet off the top of the hill, beginning at a point thirty foot south of the school house. The length of the grade will be about 425 feet a nd the rise about forty feet, making a very easy grade. Every one should encourage this improve ment by rendering suoh aid, finan cial or otherwise, as they may be able to furnish. With this hill cut down the road will be an ideal one for teams and wheelmen. Let the same spirit extend to other hills down the river, aud in fact in all localities, and we may soon be a very happy people, so fur as good roads go. i The Stockholders of the Company for erecting a bridge over the River Deluwure, near the town of Milford are hereby not! fled that ttu Election will bo held at the office of the Secretary iu llrown's nuildin in Milford on the KIH.ST MONDAY UK MAY NEXT, being May 2, at 8 o'clock P M. to choose oue President, six managers, one treasurer, aud such other officers as they think necessary to conduct the biitdnegg of said company for oue year, to be chosen by a majority of votes of said SLocL holders, by ballot delivered in pcz- son, or proxy duly authorized. - iiy order of the Hoard, J.
