Nearly every inliabilHtit of Mifflin and
Pattwimn lias some timo or other ai'ken',
or been saked, ' To what use doa the
renylvni Railroad Company intend
t ) put tli almost abandoned shops at
Patterson T" The community of the
towns agree that the question lias never
been satisfactorily answered. The com
munity also agree in the belief that if a
lease of the shops can be. obtained from
the company that the buildings could be
used as shops in the manufacture of cars
or agricultural implements. The machine
shop is a fine obloDg building of brick.
Covered with slate, and includes within
its walls three rooms. The first is the
"machine room, in which are places for
work benches and lathes in abundance.
The second room, which may be called a
side-room, for it is at the side of the build
ing, is an engine room, and was used as
such by the railroad company when these
shops were in full operation. The third
room was made and used for the smith
shop, and Las a full supply of fire places.
A frame carpenter shop of sufficient ca
pacity to meet the wants of the railroad
company when it used the shops, stands !
near the machine shop. A large semi
circular house of stone, usually called the
"round house, faces the railroad. Cars
from the "turn table' can be run into any
of the numerous doors of this building,
and a track leads directly through this
house into the machine shop, and one
also into the carpenter shop. Notwith
standing that these shops were not erected
expressly for the purpose of manufactur
ing cars or any other particular thing,
machine, or implements, they would be
admirably suited to the manufacture of
either cars or agricultural implements.
All the changes necessary to fit them for
such a business could be made at, com
paratively speaking, a small cost. No
more desirable place for the manufacture
of cars or farming implements can any
where be found than just here at Mifflin,
even if the railroad shops cannot be
leased. Labor is cheaper than about the
cities or large towns ; living is' cheaper,
land and building lots are lower in price,
and if the manufacturing establishment
would be for farming implements,
the interior valleys of the State could
be reached easier and cheaper from this,
a central point, thin from any other. The
freight alone upon implements sent into
the interior of the State from the West
ern country and the Eastern portion of
the State, would go quite a distance to
wards keeping up an establishment. We
are also nearly midway between the an
thracite and the bituminous coal regions,
and Juniata Las perhaps more fine oak
timber, which we all know enters largely,
indeed mostly, into the manufacture of
cars and farming implements, than has
any other county of its size in the State.
Licking Creek Valley, it is estimated,
alone contains many millions of feet of
the finest of oak timber. Thousands of
feet of the best of oak lumber annually
is taken out of our county to Eastern
counties, and there manufactured into
various machines and implements and
into cars, and in these manufacturtd
articles distributed through our State.
If it pays to ship away and manufac
ture, it certainly would pay better to man
ufacture at the place where the raw ma
terial is produced. The freight itself
would be an object of consideration
We have also iron near at hand, both
above and below us, on the Juniata.
What a great effect upon our towns the
addition of oue or two hundred indus
trious mechanics would have. The change
would be almost marvelous.
We have timber here in abundance.
We are admirably situated tor the easy
procurement of both coal and iron. In a
word, when everything is considered, we
have perhaps the beet situation in the
State for the manufacture of ears or agri
cultural implements ; and if we have not
the means or the experience to encourage
us to embark in such enterprises, let us
invite men of capital and experience from
abroad to come among us and do it.
The War la Esrwae.
It is a little more than a - month since
actual hostilities were commenced along
the French and Prussian border.; It waa
on the 2nd Uy of August that a heavy
column of French troops moved on and
took possession of Saarbruck. and It waa
here that the Prince Imperial received
his "baptism of fire " This "first vic
tory," insignificant as it was. was herald
ed abroad, and looked upon as an omen
of success to the French canse. But,
alas ! how disappointed were those who
thus believed. The shouts of joy had
not yet ceased their, echoes when they
were drowned by the heavy tramp of the
brave Prussians, under the Crown Prince,
advancing on Weissenburg, and the co
operating and thundering march of Gen.
Steinmetz on Saarbruck. From the day
of that advance to the 2nd day of this
month the day on which McMahon sur
rendered his army, including the Em
peror Napoleon and his eon success has
continually been with the Prussians.
Tho surrender was made at Sedan. Ba
zaine is securely caged in Metz. He is
powerless in his present position. His
capitulation is looked for hourly. ' '
If we dare base an opinion on the de
spatches from France, the spirit of the
leading men at Paris and of the " Em
pire" has not been broken by these un
paralleled disasters, but they are rising
with the crisis, and calling earnestly on
all Frenchmen to como to the rescue of
France. The result or end canpot be
foretold. If the public men who ' are
coming to the surface in this awful con
flict are pure and can rise above M self,"
it may yet be well with France. "A re
public !" is now the try. . A provisional
government has been set np. ' We fear
that the leaders are dangerous men.
Horace (Jreelv. .
The veteran Republican, Horace Gree
ly, has been spoken of in connection with
the Republican nomination for Governor
of New York. In the Tribune he ex
presses himself willing to serve the party
on the ticket, either at its head or at its
tail He thinks that a stronger candi
date for Governor can be fouud, and that
he can be of more use to the party when
working for others than when working
for himself. He is looking to the unity
and strength of the party, and says, "By
the nomination of what capable and
worthy Republican for State Officer can
we call out the largest vote, and thus
secure the election of the most Republi
can Members of Congress and of the As
sembly." Horace Greely does not understand
that Republicanism means a scramble for
office. He understands that Republican
ism stauds at the head of the civilization
of the world, and that in its advocacy for
the establishment ot a liberal govern
ment here to include the oppressed of all
lands who come among us voluntarily,
does not lower the grade of the party,
but raises it higher. lie understands
that to confer rights and privileges that
have been despotically withheld, is high
and noble, and cannot result in harm to
the party who confer the boon, but it
must, in time, result in honor to the donor
and prove a God-Bend to those upon
whom the favor falls. For the accom
plishment of such great objects Horace
Greely is content to labor. He fiuds his
honor in the labor for the common good.
Let us profit by the lesson.
Kepnbllfan Senatorial Conference.
On Thursday, the 1st inet , the Repub
lican Conferees of this the 21st Senato
rial District, consisting of Blair,' Centre,
Huntingdon, Mifflin, Perry nnd Juniata,
met at Lewittown. and, on the 23rd bal
lot, nominated W. P. Wilson, of Centre
county, and on the 25th ballot nomina
ted D. W. Woods,' of Mifflin county.
The nomination is a good one. The
Senators elected this fall will take a part
in re-districting the State, and in the
election of a United States Senator.
These are points of vital importance to
the Republican party'. . Let us dispas
sionately aud calmly consider them.
Bbainabd, of the Tyrone Herald, has,
in this district, lionized himself through
the medium of an article entitled " The
Harmonious Democracy." Said article
is devoted to an account of the proceed
ings of the Democratic Senatorial Con
ference which met at Lewistown and
nominated Crawford and Petriken for
State Senate. By and by we will pub
lish it that is, we mean, before the cam
paign ends. A rich account it is. , ' ,
The memory of our Democratic breth
ren seems to be faulty on the financial
affairs of the nation. They, somehow,
always forget to stale the monthly re
duction of the national debt. They have
again forgotten to announce that the debt
statement just issued shows a reduction
during the month of August of over $13,
000,000. Hon. John B. Packer was unani
mously nominated by the Dauphin coun
ty Republican Convention on Tuesday
last. The following gentlemen were
nominated by the same Convention for
Assembly: John E. Parsons, of Halifax,
and A. C. Smith, Esq., of Ilarrisburg.
Ax attempt was made to bold a meet
ing of colored Democrats in Baltimore,
on Tuesday, the 23d of August. The
affair turned out to be a fizzle. The
Democrats of Maryland do not recognise
the "white man's party." Republicans
should take this as a lesson. . .. ' -
The Altoona Sun seems to be serious
ly troubled about the late Senatorial nom
inations. It don't like Crawford it don't
like Petriken. By the Sunt permis
sion we recommend Wilson and Woods.

- The "Arabian Nights" is over-reached
many degrees by the story of John
Whopper, the Newsboy,' now in the
course of publication in the Old and Kno
The following is an extract from that part
of the story that appears in the. Sept em
ber number of the Magazine, and is de
jscriptive of John Whopper coming out
the axis of the earth and lighting on an
iceberg: .. .
" In process of time the light began te
steal ia poa the darkness, and I knew
that another crisis was approaching,-r-the
most trying and formidable that , I bad
beeu called to encounter, .And, shortly
out I went, high up iu the . air, bigber
higher until J thought that I should
never come down agaiu. .But, after a
time, I felt that I was descending y and
the fear came upon me that I might tum
ble back once more into the axis of the
earth. If I had reflected a moment, I
might have perceived that this would be
impossible ; for, soon as I had sunk from
elevation down to a point not more than
a hundred feet from the end of the pole, I
met the swift curreut of air rushing out,
and was once more hoisted np in the
clouds. , This was repeated several times
over: and I found myself in the .condi
tion of a cork ball, sustained in tne air
by a stream of water from a fountain. , It
is a little odd, that at this time there
came to my mind a vivid recollection of
such a cork ball, that I nsed to see toss
ing about in front of the hotel that form
erly stood at the corner of Tremont and
Boylaton Streets, in Boston. At last, it
occurred to me, that if at the time when
I had nearly reached the highest point
of my ascent, and therefore must be mov
ing very slowly, I should fan the air
with my cap, as I did before, it might
waft me out of the line of the north pole ;
aud that I might as well come down into
the sea and he drowned, as to keep on
bobbing up and down in this way forever.
The experiment was successful ; and the
next time that I descended' I came gen
tly, not into the water, but into a soft,
yielding drift of suow, which entirely
broke the foroe of my fall."

The Republicans of the State seem to
be everywhere selecting tickets made
np of admirable men. There is always
some clashing of personal interests in
conventions, and that is where they should
be ; but it has been seldom, indeed, that
so little of this trouble has manifested
itself as during the present season. The
final selections have left the party with
out quarrels to brood over or split upon,
and there is general satisfaction. ';. But
the time has come when every active man
should be at work. First class candidates
call for first class majorities, as due to
the representative and to tbe cause. This
requires organization, system, seal and
steady work. It should commence early
and not relax until the day is won. Vic
tories, like everything of value, eost la
