The Sheriff has a nack for im proveroent£and i the kind of men *uch towns want. coil of constructing a horse-car road from Coburr, to Millheim. at SIB,OOO complete with rolling stock, we calculated the die* tance as 2i miles, We are assured by citi zens of Millheim that the distance is bare ly 21 miles. This would lessen the entire cost to about $16,000. But an improvement would be, if tbe ex pense was not too great, tohavea sroaii en gine, which would be a little more in keep ing with the spirit of tbe age, and make Millheim a genuine reilroed point, al though a little off from the main line. This wouid be a convenience to travel in the valley. But it remains for our.neigh bors at Millheim to count the cost and sat isfy themselves about the returns such n expenditure would bring, as some of them have already contributed liberally towards grading the road into tbe valley.

Milineim win apply for a borough charter before a great while ; the limits would likely embrace a portion of Texas and the orick mill locality, with Spring bank and the Forks for suburbs. This would give Millheim some 700 of popula tion and ranking fourth as a boro., viz: Bellefonte, Pbilipsburg, Milesburg, Mill heim. The advantages would be in regu lation of her own schools, goed side-walks and streets clean. An idea of the grain business at the two railroad stations in this valley can be formed by the amount shipped up to 25, by one firm. Smith & Co., since their ware house at Coburn has been opened, some 21 months ago, and who inform us they shipped 19 car loads from Coburn and 13 from fjjprinjj MlU'i t n tiro®- Q® they took in at Coburn, 1130 bushels wheat, on 17th 1700 bushels, on 18th 1300 and on 19th 700 bushels- Their warehouse is very conveniently arranged for unload ing from wagons, weighing, and loading cars, and the amount of business is better than they anticipated.

He intimated pretty bitterly that the ef fect of their treatment by tha administre-1 tion might lead to something unexpected though ho refused to say what.
