Among the important duties devolving on the electors, the choice of county offi cers is of far greater interest to the tax payers and property holders than is gerier ully conceded. From the nature of our in-thutions, Tarty polities are always intro dueed into the nomination- for such offices, and too frequently, under their potent in fluence, men are placed in situations of re sponsibility for which they are neither fit ted by education, habits, or character. In ail such cases they arc voted for simply because they are the party's nominees, even when ti • voter knows that the man he is aiding to elevate to office is untrustworthy, < TIC- wh .IN in any private- transaction with himself he would nut deal without adequate county fur faithful performance. Iti hardly necessary to say that this is all wrong, whether practical by u Republican, American, or Democrat. It i- true where a man, no matter how well qualified for office, wiii cany bitter partisan feeling into the office to which he aspires, and make distinctions between political friends and foes, there i some justification for voting fur a man of inferior qualification.--, because the former w ill never loake a good or faith ful officer; but as a general thing the voter ought to select the candidates whom he deems best suited lor the station named, and vote for them. There is also another matter that occasionally arises in polities, worthy of consideration. Men are fre quently nominated to whom success would be a positive injury. None of our county offices are -u lucrative as to repay any one for a change or ! of business, especially it he L- in a situation where lie is making a fair liiiing and something to lay by for a " rainy day." This can lie best illustrated by stating a ease : Let us suppose then that a farmer, a mechanic, a merchant, or other business man, is elected to a county office requiring his general attendance here. Ife removes to town, or takes boarding, soon discover that his office does not require halt bis time, and unle-s of energetic will, 'ah.- into -• loafing habits, and next v<rv naturally into company of that kin. ff he- drink at all, and such hardly ever r.-sist the temptation, he goes on from one to two glasses a day, then to three, four, live and six, and in a few weeks the profits of his office are daily spent in treating and being treated, and by the time his term is out if he should even he so fortunate as to escape som aj'uux jhi* in his official busi ness -he leaves the office about a* he eame wto it so far as regard- pecuniary matters, hut. with habits for evil that will cling to him ' r "' ,J e repeat, a man of energetic will may escape this, but unless he lias such Wj:1 > w 't'dd be far better to cut his right hand off than to leave any business for an office such as we have spoken of. This is no fancy picture, written fur effect, but -oocr truth that will commend itself to the consideration of all who desire to see their public business in competent and faithful hands. t %.Tho livery stable ui Browo 4 Kamsey, with 30 tuna hay, eight ho r*Kn. ii. l a nnmlier ot'^urri ajres; the oritbnllif. ing an<t <3wil;ng ol John A.

The nomination of Mr. PUSCELL by the American Republican* for the Assembly is not very satisfactory to our democratic friends, especially that portion which is understood to be in favor of a State loan of three millions to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad. His course in the Legislature for two terms has proved so satisfactory to j the taxpayers, having withstood all the temptations of corrupt and intriguing pol- : iticians, that not a word can justly be said" against it, while his high standing in all the relations of life, as an honest, upright and moral man, now well acquainted with legislative business, point hiia out as a fit representative next winter when, there is no doubt, strong efforts will again be made to entanele the State with northern im provements, and thus saddle a new debt on the taxpayers equal at least in amount to that from which they have just been relie ved by the sale of the main line. Against his opponent, I>r. Bower, we have uothing to allege further than that hi.> nomination was looked upon as a triumph of those who favor such an appropriation. This was further demonstrated by the refusal of the county meeting to endorse resolutions pro pounding certain queries in relation to that subject, and also by his refusal or neglect thus far to answer those queries, submitted in a letter, signed as we are informed by about forty democrats of this place and vi cinity. 3lr. PureeU, we take it upon our- ; selves to say, will not vote to appropriate oue dollar of the people's money to the Sunbury Railroad or any other improve ment corporation. For Register and Recorder, the contest i lies between GEO. GUXHRIE of Armagh, j and JOSEPH S. WAIIEAM of this plaee.— Mr.Gl TLUtiE is pretty well known through i out the county as a judicious business man, i | having managed the Poor House for three I years from its organization in a manner | highly satisfactory to the poor and the | public. Mr. WARKAM is a young man i just entering into life, whose greatest fault we take it is waking polities more of a trade than his occupation. The contest for Treasurer will probably be a warm on-. SAMCP.I. BAKU, Fq.,the ( nion nominee, bus an exten-ive aequaint- Sane" among our citizens in all parts of the county, and enjoys a reputation for hones ty and bu>in<— tact that wiil make him | votes wherever he is known. J. I). SEL HEJMEK, bis oppdicnt, i> also somewhat of | an office hunter, liaving been before demo cratic conventions on two or three occasion? I heretofore. His present nomination, it is I whispered, was owing to some bargaining in the convention by which Mr. Williams was nominated for Sheriff over Messrs. Mitchell and Kyle, and Mayes floored for ' Treasurer. For Sheriff we may also look for some i tugging and pulling. WM. MORRISON, the I nion candidate, is a farmer well qual ified for the office, and if elected would no doubt make as faithful, attentive and obli ging officer as the present incumbent. Mr. \Y HJ.IAMS formerly followed farming, but lately has taken to tavernkeeping, a busi ness which in many counties is made by law incompa'ible with the office. WILLIAM GREIOHTON of I>crry is the nominee of the 1 nion convention for ('oiu missioner, and JoIIN ('UI'PLE* of Granville the democratic. The latter i- no doubt honest and wcll-uieaning enough, but so far as business is concerned we presume be would hardly set himself up as the equal of Mr. Greighton. The office is an impor tant one to the taxpayers, and while we shall be satisfied with whatever decision the voters make, jet it is their duty to .see that the ahle-t men are elected, I JOHN* QI'INCY ADAMJT of Decatur, ai industrious and talented young man, has been named ibr Auditor, a jn>*t with poor i pay but withal important. The borough elects a Director of the J Poor this year. JOHN CUBUISON is the i 1 uion candidate and John Stoncroad the j democratic. The former, during the mis management which prevailed in the Poor House a few years ago, offered adequate security to keep the ]>oor at about oie-half the then cst, and will thus, if elected, carry into that establishment views to sec ond the efforts that arc now being made by the present board to introduce retrench ment and reform into its management. — His opponent's ideas we suspect are of too rigid a character to become a good director, as he would be quite as likely as not to carry out extreme parsimonious views—a fault as much to l>e condemned as loose management. *''' J Htill Hiatal* thai Win.

' LOCAL AFFAIRS. COUNTY CONVENTION*. —The delegate* elected in pursuance of a notice published 1 in the Gazette, assembled in the Town Hall, Lewistown, on Monday, 17th August, and were organized by the appointment of W M. BROTHERS, Esq., as President, and Dr. M. T. MITCHELL and GEORGE CALBRAITH as Secretaries. After some appropriate remarks from the chair, the convention proceeded to ballot for candidates, when the following were nominated: Assembly, JOHN PURCELL, Esq., of N. Hamilton. Sheriff, \VM. MORRISON, of Union township. Register and Recorder, GEORGE GUTHRIE, of Armagh. Treasurer, SAMUEL BARR, of Lewistown. Commissioner, WM. CREIGIITON, of Derry. Auditor, JOHN Q. ADAMS, of Decatur. Director of Poor, (BtiroKzh District.) JOHN CUBBISON, of Lewistown. [Win. P. Elliott, Esq., was nominated for Coroner, but having declined, the va cancy will be filled by the County Commit tee at its first meeting.] David Witherow was nominated as Rep resentative Delegate and Wm. Brothers Senatorial. The Convention then re-;tfirmed the res olutions adopted at the county meeting, to wit: llesolcfil, That we endorse the sale of the Main Line of Public Works, and that in our opinion the whole amount of the purchase money ought to be faithfully appropriated towards the extinguishment of the Public Debt, and thus render certain a reduction of State taxes. lltsofw-i. That we arc opposed to any mea sure of !?gislation making a direct appropri ation, lending the credit of the State, or in any wie assuming or guaranteeing the pay ment of principal or interest, to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company, or aav other company engaged iu the construction of works of internal improvement—believing that there is ample capital antung private in dividuals to eomtru.-t all such works as are likely to become profitable. Rcsohyd, That we endorse the whole action of our Representative in the last Legislature, John Pureed, Esq.,* and especially his vote against appropriating throe millious of the fieople's money to the Sunbury and Erie tail road.

APPOINTMENT or SUPERVISOR.— -\V\ T. Burns, of this platf. assumed control of this division of the Peiins\ Ivania Canal on the Ist inst., having been appointed to that office in place i" Major Ki>< iihi-e.— Turner is capable of managing rhc concern to s<.nie advantage if he will only keep his fingers out of polities, and employ men of sober and industrious habits without refer ence to political creed. The canal has al ways been too much of a grog shop, either for the good of the public or the works, and the sooner this feature ;s dispensed with the hotter; in fact, we should like to see the salutary regulations in force on the railroad, by which intemperance meets with a prompt dismissal, also put into prac tice on the canal. SUDDEN DEATH, — The.gentleman nam ed in the following article had recently been a visit to K. I Jacob, Ksq., of this place, and will be remembered by many of our citizens. lie was apj>arently <juite fee ble when here: NEW YORE, April 27.— Yesterday afternoon, a gentleman named Thomas Sewall, a retired merchant of Baltimore, in attempting to get into the cars at I'eekskill, whilst they were in motion, fell upon the track, and before the train could be stopped three cars bad passed over his body. I>r. Snowden, of Peekskill, who was passing on the road near the depot, was called in, but life was extinct. Mr. Sew all was travelling for his health, having re cently had an attack of paUy, and was just recovering from its effects. Ilis daughter and sister-in-law were in the cars at the time, and upon learning who the unfortunate was, wrung their hands and rent the air with their lamentations. fSKThe Lcwistown Furnace, having ex hausted its .stock, has been blown out, and we learn that it is doubtful whether opera tions will be resumed this fall or winter on account of the present price of iron. dogs were poisoned on Sun day evening or Monday morning by some one depositing strychnine in meat on the streets. Two hogs are also said to have been killed by it. Foggy—The mornings ami sundry to pers. fgrTlie high price of flour here has re sulted in some competition, and Pittsburgh flour, manufactured from western and south ern wheat, can now be had at James Ir win's new store, at Kennedy's, and perhaps some other places. A Musical Association has been holding some meetings in the Town Hall, and was lately organized under the name of the " Normal Singers of Lewistown." with the following officers: President —Geo. W. Soult. Vice President—Jas. A. Junkin. Secretary—A. T. Hamilton. Treasurer —Emory D. Swartz. Chorister —Prof. John Clark. Ist Assistant —S. J. Brisbin. 2d Assistant—J. S. McEwen, Jr. Normal School lately commenc ed by the County Superintendent, has been well attended, and from appearances will result in benefit to the teachers and those who may be placed under their charge. B@jrhe Town Council have determined to erect two additional lamp posts in the Diamond, one across the creek, one in Val ley street, and one on the corner of Grand and Third. CAMP-MEETING.

Ct. riUiis Pistol is intended aa the forerunner of the ordin.v A ry pistol and is designed for youne men aßd boys who wish to enjoy the exciting sport of firing at a mark, at the roost trifling expense, and without any danger of ac cident. The cheapest common pistol is several tunes the cost of this, besides being dangerous in the hands of boys. U will carry a ball tea or fifteen paces with the same pre cision as an ordinary pistol, but net with force enough to do any serious damage. As America is a shooting nation, the Young Americans must and will learn the art by which our independence was secured. Uence this Target Pistol is just in time, and must meet with universal sale among our youth throughout the South and West.
