Dear*—Not the streets, but the church
pews in or town. We have lately heard j
complaints from various persons, that they
get their "Sunday clothes" badly dusted
when they go to church. We hope the sex
tons of the various churches will see to it,
that this cause of complaint shall no longer
exist, and that no one hereafter shall be de
terred from going to any church by the fear
of dusty pews.
Ss<w fell at Meadville. Crawford county,
on Tuesday, the first in the State.—Harris
burg Telegraph. Nov. 8.
Not the first by a "sprinkle." Snow
fell here on the night of the 30th of Octo
ber, sufficient in depth to "make white''
the peaks of the "old Allegheny." For this
manifestation, however, arc claim credit for no
especial effort ca our part, only that we are
a "few flake-" ahead of Meadville on that
score.
CHITIKE OF A WILD CAT.—Whilst Wm.
C- ~ jr.. and a party of others, whoaenarces
* - kave not learned, were "coon-hunting"
i n" uight last week, their dog ""treed"—not
a coos, —but an enormous wild cat, which,
after a pretty severe tussel with the dog. they
succeeded in capturing. He was rather a
fierce looking animal, and judging from the
si/.e of his claws, would make an ugly cus
tomer iu a "rough-and tumble" encounter
with any but an uncommonly "plucky" dog.
WE are credibly informed that R. B. Lewis,
the present Chief Engineer ot the Connells
viile and Southern Penna. Kail Road, has
been recently elected President of the Hun
tingdon and Broad Top Rail Road Co. Mr.
Lewis will make, we have no doubt, ap able
and successful President and accomplish all
that devotion to duty and a life long experience
iu railroad matters can make out of the ma
terial placed in his hands. May friend Lewis,
long flourish and soon reach old Bedford via
Huntingdon aud Broad Top and the Southern
Penna. A Connellsville Railroad
THE ADVENT OF WINTER. —Our first snow
appeared cn the morning of October 31st
when the mountains where white for a few
hours, iln Tuesdsy last we were treated
to a second visit of old //tents in the shape j
of sundry snow-squalls covering the bleak '
face of old mother earth, for a brief space, j
with a mantle of pure white. We soon may
look for the stern old veteran to take up his :
residence with us for the the coming 3or 4
months. The youngsters are alieadv on the
lookout for him and will give him a hearty J
welcome, despite his pranks of frequently
pinching unguarded ears.
CONSCIENCE MONET.—The Harrisburg l'el- I
egraph notices the receipt of $6.00 "eon- .
science money," by the agent of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad at lhat place, which the wri
ter. evidently a woman, had wronged the
company oat of by smuggling her boy through
without paying fare. This person must be ;
credited with having considerable conscience, '
but we give the following as an instance we
think, unparalleled in the history of troubled
cot-ciences. The letter was received one day
last week, by Mr. Mengel. proprietor of the j
Mengei House, and explains itself:
1. MEXGLK, Esq.: Dear Sir —Inclosed find
fifty-three cents which was wrongfully kept
from you for a meal of victuals in Sepi. 1866.
BOROUGH SCHOOL'. —The Borough Com
mon Schools opened on Monday last, unde r
the direction of the following corps of teach
ere:
Principal —John M. Reynolds.
Room Xo. 2—Samuel J. Jordan.
" " til—Samuel D. Middleton.
" I—Miss Mary Holderbaum.
" 3—Miss Jennie Smith.
'* " 6 —Miss Maggie J. O'Connor.
Iu our judgment these are very judieious
selections, all being possessed of experience
and the necessary qualifications for efficient
teachers.
LIKE AT LEAMEKSVU.LE, BLAIR COI STT
Between tw„ and three o'clock on Saturday
morning, the 2d ins:., flames were discovered
issuing from the barn attached to the "Learn
er-vi;!e Hotel." about five miles south west
of Hoifidaysburg. Blair county, kept by Mr. ;
Perry G. Trout. The tire was first discover
ed by Mr. Trout, who was sleeping in a room,
the -riudows of which overlooked the burning
builting. and who promptly spread the alarm. •
■ t a strong wind blowing at the time, ren
dered fruitless all efforts to save the build*
ing<. and the barn, stable, wagon-shed and ;
n-crib with their contents, together with
three valuable horses aad two mules, were
consumed. A very considerable amount of
gram, bay, and rye was destroyed, involving
i mis of about $5,000. The buildings and
two-fifths of the grain belonged to the heirs
i: Samuel Learner, dee'd. and the personal
property to Mr. Trout, who feels his loss
•erv severely. The origin ot the tire is be
-yed to be the work of an incendiary.

THR NORTH AMERICAS Rrv.xw (Tiekuor
; A Fields, Boston,} for October is on our
table. It opens with an article entitled
"George the third and Lord Xorth ," in
which the long popularly received opinion,
that Lord North and not the King was res
ponsible for the tyrranny and mismanage
mefit that eventually alienated the American
Colonies, is controverted and the ignomioi
j ooa burthen laid npou the shoulders of the
King. "'The United State* Xaral Obserrato-
J D gives an account of the conduct of this
national institution by no means flattering to
j American ideas of progress even in Astrono
my. The rebel Maury comes in for a large
1 share of the responsibility for the neglect
i and mismanagement that have characterized
the establishment almost from its foundation
j i© the breaking out of the rebellion, when the
! institution was reliered from his apparently
worse than useless presence. The work of
j the Observatory during the first four yaars
j and the last four is pronounced by the writer
highly creditable to the country. In "The
Bank of England Restriction' is given a
brief history of the financial difficulties which
; called forth the Restriction of hill 1797, and
i which continued to disturb the British finan'
| ces for a long succession of years. The re
| view of " The Letter* and Remains of At-
I thur Hugh Plough" is an nppreciatire sketch
of the Life and works of this English scholar
and poet. A high and deserved tribute is
paid to his honesty and independence of
"hought. in his lite at Oxford, where
the nearest way to promotion lies through
the adoption of the fossilized ideas and walk
ing iu the beaten ways of a past age. Cast
ing off the shackles of em ply forms and hol
low professions, he chose for his portion lib
erty of thought and moral independence,
rather than the comfortable offices that
reward the sacrifice of intellectual and
moral independence. I'M Citil See-rice
of the United States, is a discussion
of a subject, of deep interest to tvery good
citizen: and in view of the appaling corrup
tion in almost every department and the de
plorable incompetency of many of our high
officials, independent of party, there are few
who will not heartily concur in tne humilia
ting but true declaration contained in the
opening sentence, that "the condition of the
civil service of the United States is deplora
ble." The writer takes strong ground in
favor of competitive examinations for all offi
ces in the civil service except such as are ap
pointed by the President with the advice and
consent of the Senate. The passage of the
bill of Jenckes from Rhode Island, introduced
in the last Congress, is strongly advocated,
with an extension so as to embrace the for
eign service. May the day -oon dawn that
shall see some such system adopted and the
tide of political corruption now prevailing
with such lamentable consequences through
out the service, at leas: checked,if not finally
stayed. "Our Xatioruil Schools of Science."
"Keg and Oppert on Indo-European Pkilolo
gy," "The Reformation of Ihrison Ihscip
liue,'' and "The Winthrop Papers" bring us
to "Critical Sotices" in which we find a very
severe but doubtless just criticism of "Dra
per's History oj the American Cicil ICar,"
his contradictions and inconsistencies are
shown up in a manner not the most credita
ble to the Doctors integrity and ability as a
philosopher. We would commend a careful
perusal of it, to the admirers of the learned
Doctor.
MONEY WASTED 1 MONEY WANTED BADLY'.
—The persons who are indebted to us for
subscriptions to the IsycißEß, advertising and
job work will take notice that TC must hare

standing accounts on our books, which would,
if prompt payment were made, enable us to
settle ail our liabilities and to make the im
provements which we desire. We appeal to
you to settle op, it is the only way in which
we can meet our obligations and keep on good
terms with those who patronize us. Short
I settlements and prorilpt payments make good
: friends. Do not let ns appeal to you in vain.
We desire to make some improvements,
| nameless at present, for which you will give
! us credit, and we must have money to further
our plans. Walk up aud settle!

CORRESPONDENCE.
[VVe are pleased to give the following local
correspondence a place in our column*.
This is what we desire from our friends in
the country, and more especially from tbe
thriving towns—such as Bloody Bun. Our
columns *re open to any thing of local inter
est that is brought to our knowledge.—Eos.]
BLOODY Rex, Nov. ytb I*o7.
EDITORS Ixqt IRER:
Once in a while we m*y with strict propriety
indulge iu a few jottings by the wayside, and
chronicle a few items that come under our
observation, and classify them according to
their several merits.
The people abroad, who know but little of
the local affairs of Bloody Hoc, might be sur
prised upon visiting it, to see the unparallel
ed activity and vivacity in improvmeuts and
business transactions here. It is fair to pre
sume that a correct index of the prosperity of
a place is its rapid growth, and this .we as
sume to be sufficient testimony that Bloody
Uau may now be classed as the centre of trade,
and the convolving point for a radius of sev
eral miles of country, inhabited by a thrifty,
prosperous, and peaceful population. Xo
adequate idea cau be given within the com
pass of a sh„rt article, of the extent of trade
carried ou here; it must be witnessed to be
fully realized, and the busy hum of every day
is ample evidence that energy and capaccity
are characteristics of this people. The prin
cipal business places of the town are the tirms
of J. B. Williams 4 Co., J. M. Barudollar
4 Son. Gump. Baugbman 4 Co., F. M.
Masters, J. Bamsey 4 Co. C. F. Biake, Jacob
Barndollar 4 Son, besides many other places
which for want cf space we cannot now men
tion. #
lite late building improvements are those
of J. Harris, J. Baughmau, and F. Snider,
all elegant and of the most approved modern
style, nearly completed, and those just com
menced are Daniel Ott's, A.J. Nycum'sCapt.
States, William Wisel's, and others, all of
which will add much to the beauty of the
town; and evince a spirit of enterprise on the
part of the citizens that is certainly commend
able.
The Lutheran congregation here, have also
under course of construction a large church
edifice, which, when completed will be an or
nament to the town, and an honor to them.
The population of Bloody Run at the pres
ent time is about six hundred. Four Chur
ches, (including the one now building,) and a
large brick school houso are conspicuous
monuments of the intelligence, perseverance,
and morality of this community. The town
contains many handsome dwellings, adorned
with choice shrubbery which gives them a
beaatifal and attractive appearance. Bat the
name of the town seems to sound so harshly
abroad that many might suppose it to be some
obscure and uninviting spot among the Alle
ghanian hills, where terror lurks in erery
nook. It was doubtless an applicable one
when given to the stream from which the
town derives its name, because its bosom was
crimsoned with the blood of the white man
when in deadly conflict with the Indian, while
yet a wilderness; but tbe war path has given
place to broad roads, and the huntiuggronnds
to cultivated fields, and tbe Run is a beautiful
and silent brook: gliding gently along for a
mile, passing through the town beneath the
drooping branches of the weeping willow,
and in the precincts mingles its crystal stream
with tbe ruffled waters of Juniata's principal
tributary. This view wonld therefore suggest
a more pleasing and appropriate name for
the town now, which might and should be
Belle brook. That would, iu the minds of
those who hear of it but have not seen it in
spire a better opinion of its character.
It is indeed no isolated locality: but has
advantages for those who seek wealth, tran
quility or pleasure.

Tut DIAMOND DICKENS. —LittIe Dorrit.
the eighth volume of the dainty littla "Dia
mond Edition'' of Dickens is now out, com
pleting nearly two-thirds of the whole series.
The same merits that we have admitted for
the former volumes of this edition mark the
present volume, namely, compactness, beauty
of typography.substantial paper.characteristic
illustrations, handiness of size, elegance of
appearance and remarkable cheapness. It
slips easily into an ordinary coat pocket, tak
ing up bat little apace, whilst it is handsome
enough, inside and out, for tbe library shelf
or the parlor table. — Cleveland Herald.
Tbe probability that Dickens will shortly
come to this country to give readings from
his works makes it desirable for all who hope
to hear and thoroughly appreciate him, to be
acquainted with his wondertul writings. Tb"
Diamond Edition renders this practicable for
all. The cost of each volume of the beautiful
Illustrated Diamond Dtckens is only 31 50;
plain edition, sl. 'Jo. It can be procured of
any bookseller, or will be sent postpaid by
the Publishers. Ticknor and Fields, -Boston.
Consumption Curable by Dr. Sthcnck's
Medicines.
To cure eonsumption, the system must be pre
pared fo that the lungs will heal. To accomplish
this, the stomach and liver must first be cleansed
and an appetite created for good wholesome food,
which by these medicines will be i igeated prop
erly, and good healthy blood made: thus build
ing up the constitution. Schenck'- Mandrake
Bill's cleanse tbe stomach of ail billions or mucous
accumulations: and by using the Sea Weed Tonic
in connection, the appetite is restored.
Schenck'* Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well
as medicinal, and by using the three remedies all
impurities are expelled from the system, and good
wholesome blood made, which will repel all dis
ease. If patients will take the-e medicines ac
cording to directions. Consumption very frequent
Ily in iu last stage yields .readily to theu action
Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and
stomach. It does not follow that because the
bowels are not costive they are not required, for
sometimes iu dianbtea tbey are necessary. The
stomach must be kept healthy, and an appetite
created to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on the
espiratory organs properly and allay any irrita
tion* Then all that is required to perform a per
manent cure is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise
about the rooms as much as possible, eat all the
richest foo l—fat meat, game, and, in fact, any
thing the appetite craves: but he particular and
masticate well.
Please observe, when purchasing, that tbe two
likenes-es of the Doctor, one when in the last
stage of Consumption, and tbe other as he now is
in perfect health, are on Government stamp.
Sold by all Druggist* and Dealers' price $1.50

'* raanimf order, and more labarere are now rw
ployed upon it than eeer before. Mure than
FORTY MILLION DOLLARS IN MONEk
have already been expended by the twopowerfu
companies that have undertaken the enterprise
and there is no lack o! lands for its most vigoroui
prosecution. When the laitel States Govern
ment found it necessary to sactiie the construc
tion of the I. nion Pacific Railroad, to develop sill
protect its own interests, it gave the Companies
authorized to build it such ample aid as shouh
render its speedy completion beyond a doubt
The available means of the Vnion Pacific Rail
road Company, derived from the Government an-:
its own stockholders, may be briefly summed ui
as follows:
I.—UNITED STATE- BONDS
Having thirty years to ran and bearing six < ei
cent, currency interest at the rate of $16,000 pe;
mile for il7 miles on the Plains; then at the rati
of SIB,OOO per mile for 150 miles through thi
Rocky Mountains; thence at the rate of $32,001
per mile for the remaining dsztance, for which thi
United States takes < second lieu as security. Thi
interest on these bonds is paid by the Unitec
States government, which also pays the company
one-bait the amount of ita bills in money for trans
porting its freight, troops, mails, Ac. The re
maining half of these bills is placed to the com
pany's credit, and forms a sinking fund which
may finally discharge toe whole amount of this
lien. The claims against the government sines
April of the current year amount to four and one
half times this interest.
2—FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS.
By its charter the Company is permitted to is
sue its own First Mortgage Bonds to the same
amount as the bonds issued by the government,
and m more, and only at the road proyreeeee. The
Trustees for the bondholders are the Hon. E. D.
Morgan, l r . S. Senator from New York, and the
Hon. Oakes Ames, Member of the I*. 8. House ol
Representatives, who are responsible for the de
livery of these bonds to the Company in strict ac
cordance with the terms of the law.
3.—THE LAND GRANT.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company has i
land grant er absolute donation trom the "govern
ment of 12,800 acres to the mile on the lire of the
of the road, which will not be worth less than
$1.50 per acre at the lowest valuation.
4.—THE CAPITAL STOCK.
The authorized capital of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company is $100,000,00#, of which ovei
$0,000,000,000 hare been paid on the work already
done.
THE MEANS SUFFICIENT TO BUILD TEf
ROAD.
Contracts fur the entire work of the buildinf
911 miles of first-class railroad west from Omaha
comprising mot h of the must diflicult mountaii
work, and embracing every expense except sur
veying, nave been made with responsible par
ties (who have already finished over 590 miles j
at the average rate of sixty-eight thousand ant
fifty eight dollars iS63,U3S; per mile. This prici
includes ail necessary shops for construction ant
repairs of cars, depots, stations and all other in
cidental building*, and also locomotives, passen
eer, baggage, and freight ears, and other requisiti
rolling-stock, to an amount that *hall not be les:
than $5,000 per mile. Allowing the cost of tin
remaining one hundred and eighty-six of thi
eleven hundred miles a-sumed to be built by thi
Pacific Company to be $90,000 per mile.
THE TOTAL COST OF ELEVEN HUNDRED
MILES WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:
914 miles, at $08,058 $62,205,011
18* miles at SOO,OOO 16,740,001
Add discounts on bonds, snrveys, Ac 4,500,0' '
Amount .$53,415,01:
As the C. S. Bon is are e ; aal to money, and thi
Company's own First Mortgage Bonds haTe i
ready market, we have as the
AVAILABLE CASH RESOURCES FOI
BUILDING ELEVEN HUNDRED MILES
V. S. Bunds $29..d:'8.00{
First Mortgage Bonds 29,323,301
Capital stock paid in on the work now
done 5,309,75'
Land Grant, 11,8*0,000 acres, a: $1,50
per acre 21,120,001
TuUl $53,143,741
The company have ample facilities for supply
ing any deficiency that may arise in means foi
construction. This may be done wholly er it
part by additional subscriptions to capital stock
Active inquiry ha; already been made for a
portion of tbe*e lands, and arrangements are now
proposed to offer a part of them for sale. While
tbeir whole value will not be available for some
years to come, tbey will remain a very importaul
source of revenue to the Company. The lands oj
the Illinois Central Railroad Company are sel
ling at from $6 to sl2 per acre, and ether land
grant companies in the West are receiving equal
prices for similar properties.
FUTURE BUSINESS.
The most skeptical have never expres.-ed a
doubt that when the Union Pacific Railroad ii
finished the immense business that must flow ovet
it, a* the only railroad connecting the two gram:
divisions of the North American continent, wili
be one of the wonders of railway transpor&tion
and as it will have no competitor it can alwayi
charge remunerated rates.
