Arrested The boom of the Sunbury Boom

party, whom he fo-isd toeontlst of J. O. Creevy,

fore A. N. Br lee, . P., who Issned a warrant for
' the arrest of the parties. Severs 1 men were col
lected U town, and tbe steamboat was put iu re
quisition, and the raftsmen at above named, and
their rafts, were towed over to Sunbury. The

Oor BoROOoa Cocsrort. aud Improvements.
Tbe Borough Council elected this spring, we are
bappy to say, are determined to bring about a dif
ferent tttte of affaire In tbU town. Belnf com
posed of energttlc bnslnest men they desire to
place the town on a revel with other towns of
pmgrese and enterprise. ' At a late meeting of
the council they resolved to enclose with an Iron
fence, and adorn the Vacant space on Market
Square, and have already commenced the work.
Boon we may expect a fine park where lumber
and building material was found lying about
miscellaneously for fifty years past to the otter
disgust of all who felt a pride In the town. It
was also resolved to erect street lamps in every
part of tho town as rapidly as tbe gas pipes are
laid down in tbe different street, and to nppolnt
night police. These improvements are no more
than reasonable, as we must show some degree
of enterprise if we desire to attract tho attention
of business men to locate here. When we look
to our western cities and find how rapidly they
buPd up aud beautify their towns, we cannot
help tint deplore that so little spirit of enterprise
is left in towns that have been in a half dormant
stato neatly a whole century. We therefore hope
that the present council of Suubury, who appear
to have the grit, will continue la their enterprise
nnd make this place what it should and could
havo been twenty-five years ugo. There Is no
town in the State that bas more natural advan
tages to induce business men to Invest, and if a
spirit of improvement Is shown by our citizen!
we will soon fijid additlous by those who will
come from abroad, and the towu will grow into a
city. It is but a few years since tbe lines of the
borough were extended, and already we find
those vacant fields occupied by bouses and busi
ness places as far as trte bridge lead In; to our
sister town Northumberland. Let the citizens of
that town also enter luto the same spirit, aud im
prove, and we will, before many years, see the
two towns situated similarly to Pittsburg nnd
Allegheny city, with her luanufucoiles located
upon the banks of the river.
We learn too that the present council propose
to Inaugurate n dlffeieut state of affairs iu our
borough matters ijenern'ly, and the contemplated
Improvements will be made on the most econo
mlcol plan, nnd the people be Informed of every
cent that will bo expended. This will bo most
grutlfying, and we fed assured that when they
have completed their work that but few will ob
ject to paying their proportion of 'tb.3 tuxes, as
every ccut of money expended in theso im
provements will greatly enhance the value of
property everywhere- Let the good work of Im
provement go on, nnd wo may soon expect capi
talists from abroad who will uid in making still
more substantial ones to build up our town.
Native Qr.Nics. Sometime last week wcwcie
shown n small locomotive, which we consider one
of the most wonderful pieces of workmanship wo
have over seen. Everything ubout it was built
proportionately, nnd every part belonging to a
largo locomotive was there, from the whistle,
bell aud safety valve, to the reverse lovers attach
ed to the liuks. All were fitted up to the square,
pol'.idied off, and worked with the ease and preci
sion required for a locomotive pulling its train ol
a hundred cars. This beautiful little machine la
2 feet long from the extreme point of the pilot to
the end of lis cub. Its guagu ou the track is 47
Inches ; its lieighth to the top of stack 1 fool t
width of its cub 71.,' t length of cab S'J ; diame
ter of driving wheels 4 ; do. of truck wheels li ;
length of the boiler which Is supplied witi) six
flues, 15 inches ; dhmi. uf same Z ; stroke 1," j ;
bore fire box 1x2,'.;. It is supplied with
a little pump of exact workmanship. Tbe boiler
is covered with a copper Jacket, and the w hole
machine as It stood weighed about 43 pounds.
It hud the power to draw a small cur containing
two meu, but the weight was lacking.
What is most noticeable in regard to the mat
ter is that it was built by a young man named
Franklin Singer, who knew nothing about loco
motive building, and who at the time he was con
structing It was learning carriage painting, and
finished bis apprenticeship about the time he con
cluded his labors on bis machine, four weeks
atro, having consumed the leisure hours of four
years in its construction. Ills father resides in
Uerryeburg, a hamlet located among the moun
tains in the upper end of Dauphin county, and is
a blacksmith by trade. Tho only training to the
use of tools, he received in his father's smith shop,
and as the work done there was of the roughest
character, be received, of course, but little know
ledge which would bonelit him iu the construc
tion of a miniature machine of eo much beauty
of workmanship, and exactness In its forma
tion. We were Informed that the only tools be
employed In constructing it were a drill, flics and
a hand hammer. lie lived lour miles from the
railroad stutlon, and when compelled to exam
ine any unremcmberjd part, ho would travel that
distance for thai purpose. He commenced the
work at 18 years of age, and finished it at S3.
About four years ago this same boy walked to
Sunbury from Bcrrysburff, a distance of :;8 miles,
for the purpose of getting into the machine shops
of the P. & E. R. U., to learn to be a machinist.
His Intellectual and porsunal appearance did not
make a very favorable Impression upon the then
Superintendent of the works. In speech he
drags his words along at a very slow rate, and
as be comes from a Gcrian district, though of
native birth, his language is a little broken.
He Is also slow in motion. In consideration of
all this the Superintendent dismissed him with
the remark, that he did not think be had head
enough, nud that he wanted no boy. Ho went
home with a heavy heart, fully resolved that If
he could not be tuugbt to build locomotives be
would build one anyhow aud that be bas done
so all must udmlt who saw his pretty little en
gine. An Attempt at Hoi-be Biieakino. Au at
tempt was made on Saturday night last, to break
luto the residence of John R. Kaufman, Esq., of
Lower Augusta tor. nshlp. The thieves were dis
covered by the inmates of the house who gave an
alarm, when the rascals fled without dolug any
damages. A similar attempt wut made ubout a
year ogo ou Mr. Kaufman's residence.
A Police. We notice that a p illcemao from
Philadelphia, hat been placed on duty at the
depot at this pluce by the Railroad Companies
for the protection of the passenger travel, gelling
iu aud off the trains. The boys who have beeu
congregating about the depot, nnd hanging on
cars on the deparluie oftrulus, had belter make
themselves scarce If tbey do not desire to take a
peep at the lock-up. The appointment of such
an officer wa highly necess,y, and will prove
very beneficial to the companies as well at the
traveling commnuity.

of raftt passing this place, on their way to mar

Tan Fire Fourteen Buh.dinos Destroted
Fourteen Famim Thrown into the Streets
Cause or Fiaa Unenowm. On last Monday -morning,
April 13, oer" borough was visited by
the most destructive fir that was ever witnessed
In this place.. At about four and a half o'clock
It was discovered that the "Douty House" wat
on fire, and the alarm given, when hundreds of
men, women, and children rushed to the scene.
Having no fire engines to bring into service, the
only expedient was to carry water In buckets
The fire gained so rapidly, that it was In a short
time communicated to the building of Mr. Jere
miah Zimmerman, on the East side qf Rock
street, and when once started there, It wat com
pletely unmanageable.' Water was freely used,
and small buildings pulled down, but all of no
avail. Tho fire raged furiously. The whole
square, bounded by Sunbury street on the South,
Dewart street on the North, Rock street on the
East, wat consumed, with the exception of the
brick buildings of Mr. Wm. R. Kutzner, nnd a
frame Wars-house standing Iu the rear. On the
north of this square, It crossed DeWaif street,
and consumed two dwellings belonging to Messrs.
Samnel Stnlnk A Daniel tstnrtzel, , At tho North
cast It crossed Shamokln street, and consumed a
new dwelling, owned by Mr. James Sclbrrt, nnd
oeenpted by Mr. John L. Hammer. Tho proicr
ty destroyed in the above described square, was
owned by Messrs. Juremlnh Zimmerman At Sam
uel B. Stnluk, cousUting of dwellings, smaller
buildings occupied as places of business, and nil
their stabling. A dwelling owned by the Mesrs.
Fagely, occupied by Mrs. Cleaver, aud tho sta
bling, and a wurc-housc owned by Mr. Win. R.
Kutzner, all of which was totally consumed.
Tho "Douty House," together with Iho ofllco
and stabling, were also burned Jo the ground.
It was with great dilllpulty that the residence of
Messrs. John B. A Wm. II. Douty was saved,
having also been on fire. The Post Office and
the "Brown Stone Front," were ulso ou fire nnd
with great difficulty saved. Thu residence of
Mr. Win. Fagely too, wnsjn great peril. The
brick building of Mr. Wm. R. Kutzner, was also
on fire, and almost despaired of being saved. The
United Stales Hotel, owned nnd occupied by Mr.
Jacob Mowry, was several times on fire. The
bouse occupied by Lewis Hummel, too, was nt
one lime on fire. Tho last two buildings named,
are situated nt a considerable distance from the
main fire, yet by the strong current of nir that
was blowing, they were cudaugcred. During tho
progress of the fire, the beat was so intense that
It was almost Impossible nt times to endure It,
nud apply water to prevent Its further spread.
Too much credit cannot be givm those meu and
women, who worked so zealously to stay the
flames. And too much contempt cannot be heap
ed upon those who went there for the purpose of
plundering nnd stealing. The injury done by the
tiro Is very great, and acco-npllshed in a very
short time, not having been more than about two
uud a half hours from lis discovery, until no
other danger was apprehended. The insurance
on the destroyed property is very liht.
May our citizens arouse, nud nt once procure
fire engines, und thereby prevent another such
destructive conflagration.
The loss Is variously estimated from fifty
thousand to ninety thousand dollars. Fourteen
families were thrown out on the street, hoine?s,
nnd much of their goods carried aw; y. From

A sud accident occurred at the P. A R. Rail
road In Ibis place last Tuesday. Mr. Joseph
Berry, was eugaged with a number of men load
ing a ear wl'.h mine timber for shipment, when a
log rolled off the top of the ear, knocking down
Thomas Berry, a bright, Intelligent and premis
ing son of Mr. Berry's, 'breaking both his legs
and Injuring him Internally to such a degrco that
be died yesterday, notwithstanding every thing
was done that medical skill could do to preset ve
his life. His age was about sixteen years.
Business is either looking up or looking rfowu,
wo don't know which. It bus been .ns flat as a
"jancnko" during the winter, until tho middle of
March, when the work was resumed, bul nt re
duced wages, and continued slowly until last
Tuesday, when tho men were stopped to enable
tho company to make somo repairs lo tho break
er. It mny'start again In a few days.
A new slope on the No. 8 vein will soou be fin
ished, nnd the men commenced work this week
grading the road for a back-switch to the place
where the new breaker is proposed to be put up
this summer. This would look a little more like
business, )ct I am of the opinion that It will not
help the place a great deal until other companies
come In nnd open more coal, uud start up n few
more collieries.
It Is but natural that as loug ns there is only
one operator here, the place will remain a "one
man town." One man can make and also tin
make the place. As long as the adage holds truo
that ."opposition Is the life of trade,'' it must al
so be admitted that more collieries would give
new life to the place.
There is coal enough embedded beneath the
rocky surface around Trcvorton lo Inst for ages,
and there Is no doubt a bright future for the
place, but. bow distant, or how near, I will not
attempt to divine.
Our town is generally healthy, nnd has thus
fur escaped the ravages of tho Small-Pox, Ty
phoid fever, and other scourges which have vis
ited so many pla?cs of lute. Situated ns It is,
nmidst the hills nnd mountains provided with
good water, nnd thercfrcshing breezes of the nlr

Editorial Noticbs nre to common that it hi
almost impossible for an editor to cxpre.ts his
honest opinion of tho merits of any article with
out being suspected of interested motives.' This
fact, however, shall 'not deter us from saying
what we think of n new addition to the Materia
Mcdica to which onr attention bas been recently
directed. We refer to Dn. J. Wai.kkr's Cam
tohma Vinpoar Bitttrsj. a remedy which is
nuking its way Into more families just now than
nil the other advertised medicines put. together.
There scorns to bo no question ubout the potency
of its tonic and alterative properties, while it
possesses the great negative recommendation of
containing neither alcohol nor mineral poKon.
That it Is n specific for Indigestion, Billlousness,"
Constipation, and many complaints of nervous
origin, wo have reason to know ; and we are ns
sured on good authority that us a general lnvigo
rat, regulating und purifying medicine, it has no
equal. It is stated that its ingredients, (obtain,
ed from the wilds of California,) arc. uew to tho
medical world j nnd its cxtinordiuary effects cer
tainly warrant tho conclusion that it is a com
pound of ngrnts hitherto unknown. If pnpuhui

A Bitters without Alcohol or Spirits of any kind.
Is dilferent from all others. It is composed of
the pure Juices, or Vital PniNrnsM! or-P.ooT3,
llEitns nnd Harks, (or as medicinally termed Ex
tract,) the worthless or Inert portions of the in
gredients not being used. Therefore In one bot
tle of this Bitters there Is contained as much me
dical virtue as will be found !n several gallons of
rrdinnry mixtures. The Knots, Ac, used in this
Hitters urc grown ill Germany, their vital princi
ples extracted Iu that country by a scientific Che
mist, nnd forwarded to the manufactory in this
city, where they nre compounded nnd bottled.
Cntitalnlug no spir.tuous Ingredients, this Hitters
it free from tho objections urged against all oth
ers i no desiro for stimulants can be induced
from tlrclr use; they cannot make drunkards,
nnd cannot, under nny circumstances, have any
but a hcnelU'ial cflert. , :
IIOOFlYM'K c;iirma TOXIC,
Was compounded for thosa not inclined to ex
treme bitters, and is Intended for uso in rases
when some alcoholic stimulant is required In co -ncetion
with the tonic properties of tho Hitters.
Each bottle of the Tonic contains one bottle of I
the Bitters, combined with puree SANTA CKi'Z
RUM, and flavored in such n manner that the ex
treme bitterness of the bitters is overcome, form
ing a prcparatiou highly agreeable and pleasant
lo the palate, and containing the medicinal vir
tues of Hie Uitters. The price of the Tonic is 1 1.
50 per Hotlle, which many persons think too
high. They must take Into consideration that
thu stimulant used is guaranteed to be of a pure
quality. A poor article could be furnished at a
cheaper price, but is it not better to pay n little
more nnd have a good nrticle ? A medicinal pre
paration should contain none but the best Ingre
dients t and they who expect to obtain u cheap
compuiin 1, nnd ho benefitted by It will most cer
tainly be cheated.
