It.

Central Co., wero obliged lo put down tbo rails, equip and run tho rond, becoming vile owners of tbo same, ll will thus be seen that the residents at the other end of the lino have contributed to exceed 1 100,000, to tho construction of the Tyrone and Clearfield road an enterprise in which they huvo now no slock or ownership and that, too, to one of the best roads in tho Slate.

We huvo listen ed by ilia hour to ono man who knew all ubout the rond, and have next hour heard all that No 1 said conlru dieted by a mun who said ho built tho road. Wo eoriouly doubt wheth er any two men now living will ogreo upon any one fact, if compelled to tell their story at different times, and without previous conference. There arc, however, a few facts which we know to be true. One is that the road is one the best ballasted thoriiii''bfares in tho count rv und is : destined to become tho ereatest feed- er to the main line, under tho control of the 1'etin. It It. Co , Jos. G. Kills, was, wo believe, tbo first Superinten dent of t li o roud.

(iray. THE DRUNKARD'S LIFE. The Atlantic Monthly gives tho fol lowing graphic sketch of the daily cxpcriciico of every drunkard : The daily lifo of ono of tho steady drunkards is like this: Upon getting up in the morning, alter a heavy, restless, drunkard's sleep, be is miser able beyond expression, and almost helpless In very bad cases, he will gee double, und his hand will tremble so ho on 11 not lift to his lip the glass for which bo had u desire almost amounting to mania. Two or three stiirglasses of sprittious liquor will restore him so far that bo can control his 111 uncles, and gel along without betraying bis condition. Alter being up an hour, and drinking every ten or ii flee 11 minutes, bo w ill il'inilly bo uble to cut a pretty good break 'list, which, with tho aid of coffee, to bacco, and a comparatively smull quantity of liquor, bo will bo able to digest. After breakfast, for some hours he will generally bo nblu to transact routine business, and associ ate with bis fellows without exciting their pity or contempt. A dinner time draws near he feels llio necessi ty of creating an nppetite, which he ollen accomplishes by drinking some of those infernal compounds which aro advertised on tho eternal rocks nnd mountain hides us bitter under various names, offered to tho public, and displayed behind bar in drink ing saloons, somo with certificates at tached, usually vilo compound or re ftiso whisky, condemned w ines, cor diuls, etc., mixed together and fla voured to suit the tusto w ith 11 few herbs, spices und sugar, and sold un der tho names of tonics, restorer, ap petizers, etc. Many persnn are in duced to Inko them, In licvingthcm lo be beneficial, w hen, if they knew the vilo stuff from which they were made, not one out of a thousand would touch them. It i in vain for advocate of tetn peranco to v iito speak or labor for reform, w hilo this shameful business is carried on, nnd physiciuiis can be found to sanction und recommend Ihein. These bitters do lash tho torpid powers into n momentary, morbid, fierce activity, which enable the vic tim lo even cat n superabundant din ner. Tho f.dso excitement subsides, but the dinner remains, and il has i not digesled. This culls for an oern-1 sionul drink liir three or lour hours,! after which the system i exhausted, anil the man feels dull and languid. lie is not trunrpiil ; be craves n con tinuation of the sliiniilcnl w ith a crav ing which Ii 11 man nature, so abused and perverted never resists Ity this lime it is evening, when all ti e appa ratus of temptation is in its fullest ac tivity, nnd nil the loo-e population of m.,lil! ,),,,.,,, nlnl kw18 p the town is iihroitil.

THE EXCURSIONISTS. P. firny Meek, Ksrj , editor of tbo Hellel'onlo Watchman, being a niember of llio Hellefonto excursion party to this place, on bis return home writes down bis triput follows: To Clkaiifiki,!). If uny of tho thousands of reader of tbo Wiiti lniuni want to huvo a pleasant lime for a few days, let bim tako a liip over to Clearfield. If you li vo on this side llio right side of Tyrone, get aboard of either conductor ll.iupl's or Ste vens' train, on the fluid Kaglo Valley H. It , and you'll find us accommoda ting and gentlemanly conductors, brakemou and baggage musters over popularized a railroad. Hide out over tho mountains on either Irvin's or Meadvillo's train llio latter won't blow the hair off your head with swiftness und you'll find just the same kind of w hole-souled, M ai 111 hearted, brave men in charge of curs, brake nnd baggage ; and no difference which train you make, you will be behind as deserving, hard-working, jolly firemen, and as efficient, trusty, accomplished engineers whether it bo Hussell on Jlanpl's, Hinge on Stevens's, Jack Lathans on Irvin's, or Huke Fox und Hen Marshall on Meadville's, ns ever shoveled coal into tho furnace, nr pulled a lever and turned a steam test on an engine It don't tako long alter leaving the Ilald Kaglo Valley It. It , over which utmost everybody ha already pasted, to reach Clearfield. Al the Intersec tion, four miles cast of Tyrone, you sturl up tho mountain up heavy grades, round shurp curves, over deep ravines, across big fills, still going up, up, looking down as you go al the little bouse and hilly farm of the hard -worked, heavy-faxed, poorly paid farmers of the upper Hald Eagle gazing down into dark forests, and deep ravines widening und grow ing until they blend into beautiful little valley hundreds upon hundreds of feet below. On up, und the engine, healed und thirsty, stops for water at the lonely little station of M t. Pleasant, and then up, up, up again, over the summit, through the barren brush of the Allegheny und dow n past Sandy Hidgc with its brick kilns, and scat tered bouses, past Powclton with its coal banks, und its toiling, taxed miners, ou down to Orceola, a bright, busy littlo town, where tho fire, on last Saturday week, gent up in smoko and scattered nsne, somo threo hundred thousand dollars worth of property, mills, machinery, lumber, Ac , in a couple, of hours; on again to Pbilipsburg a bustling, business, thriving town, ibat expects, nl some not far distant day, to be a' county seat, and have its J udge und J 11 ry, its Court House and Juil, just a other county seuts huvo. It will bo a long while, however, till this happens. Here you hull for some, minutes, and if you look round, you will seo on every hand evidences of thrift, indus try nnd enterprise You will find ns good Heinoerais, and a radical Had icals, as any tilnro in the Stale, can ' produce. And if yon bud timo to go around you would pco some ns big mills, as lino houses, and as enterpris ing and prosperous people, as any town of tbo sir.o in tho Stale carl boast of. Hut you rnn't wait. The engine bell laps and ofTj-nn start. Out through the suburb of town, past the Junction on llio branch road that brings down daily, scores of tons of coal for the main line to carry to the cistern markets. On out into the grass farm and stump patches ol Clearfield, over as good a road bed ns you have ever traveled, and you soon hear tho brakesman call "Hliic Hall." You look, and there is no ball red, w hite, blue, green, or any other colot in sight nothing but a field or two nnd a water tank. Oif again into the woods, past acre after nrre of limber land, the ruins of old saw mills, a few farms, and any amount of stumps, ntul you arc nt Wallaeeton, a smart little town with about forty bouses, and ubout five time that many inhabitants, named aficr that is, the town, not the in habitants Hon. Wm. A. Wallace, of Clearfield. Another start and you seo the same kind of country : woods hero, fields there, bills here, hollows j there, rocks, stumps, littlo creeks nnd I dry gulches, jumbled together in in describable confusion. Uigler is the next station, named in honor of Kx (lovcrnor lligler, of Clearfield, and considerably liko Wallaeeton, only not so much soin the number of its bouses and inhnbitants On again nnd you soon bring up nl a blacksmith shop, a cross roads, two houses, a stable and three or four cow , ami you tire ut Woodland. On again, and if you can see it, it will be Leonard, if you can't eo it, it w ill I 0 Leonard unyhovr, for that's the nurpe of tho station. Still on, through tho woods and round the bills, iicros a few fields, past any amount of graiing cattle, over the bridge that spans I'leai field creek a very high, very long and very expen sive bridge down to the river, up a littlo ways, and you are al ci.Kxni iri.n. You want for dinner if you ride on Irvin's train, and if on Mcudviilu's it will bo supper you will hanker after most. Into the bus, then, and up to tho Mansion House that w hero wo wero cared for, and such a meal a yott will get such nn uppo lito 0 you will have such a bed as you will find. Well, there is no use of talking about idem tho other ho tels in Clearfield are good, wo know, have clever landlords and attentive servants, good "grub" and inviting beds, but thcro is nnno of them thut beat the Mansion Home. Tbo Shaw nuly cipial it, but can do no more. You won't stny long until you find cut you are in n good place liud out that you have "lit down" among a friendly, enterprising, intelligent, moral and refined people, ns inuke up tho inhabitant of any town on Ibis "mundane sphere.

Aiitificiai. Wants. Bulwcr sayi thut a poverty is only an idea, in nine cases out of ten. Some men with ten thousand dollars n year Buffer more for want of means, than others with threo hundred. Tho reason ifij the richer man ha artificial want. His incomo is ten thousand, und hd suffers enough from being dunned for unpaid debt lo kill a sensitivo man: A man who earns a dollar n day, and doc not run In debt, is the happier of tho two. Very few people who hnvd never been rich w ill believe thi; but this is true. There are thousand und thousands w ith princely incomes, who never know n moment's peace, bccatisd the- live above their mean. Thcro is really more happiness in tho worbl among tho working people than among those w ho are called rich.
