. Sudbury Its Advantages and Lo
cation FOIl MANUFACTURING PURPOSES.
Tho high stage of water iu tho Susquc
hanna river this Spring, has demonstrated
n fact which wo desire to lay before thoso
who may contemplate entering into husi
uoss at this place. Much has been said in
regard to freshets, and tho inundation of
Sunhury upon such occurrences, but our
late freshet has proven that Hub place is in
less daugcr, in consequence of our embank
ineuls, than most of other places along the
river. Tho water wus within ft few feet
fta high as it was in 18U", yet our-citizens
felt no insecurity, and sustained no
damage. There was no water iu thu town
outside of Usuaturai channel, except a few
places of low lauds lnylrijr em tho suburbs
which were submerged by back water from
the Shamokin creek, and which passed off
ns the river full without doing tho least da
mage. Wo state these facts so that all who
are about selecting sites lor manufactures,
need not fear damage from high water in
tho future. This protection against high
wntor gives Suubury still more nil vantages
ns a manufacturing place, nnd we can safe
ty say that there fire but few if any towus
:iu Iho State' bMtcr adapted to.nianuftietur
' iug purposes' than Sunhury. Tho superior
' advantages in carrying on any kind of bu
: sinflss la Suubury, arc no longer disputed.
Locations for saw mills, furnaces, car shops
and other manufacturing establishments
aro numerous, nnd cannot be surpassed.
Hero is the place for capitalists to invest in
almost any business. Uesides, having a
good localiou to build upou, we have every
advantage in tho transportation of freight,
a hialtc';.- Mich capitalists canuot overlook.
We arc the terni'ini of five different rail-
roads, malting this a shipping poiutfor five
'different rail routes to the best markets iu
tho countrv. Tho inexhaustible beds of
coal and liiuo iu this vicinity, as well ns
beds of iron along several of tho lailroad
lines, make Suubury a central point for an
immense iron business. The most beauti
ful basiu of water probably iu the Union
fronts our town, and no place possesses su
perior advantages for the lumber trade in
all its branches. Tho excellent water pow
er, and the fine vacant lauds, suitable for
any kiud of manufacturing purposes, lay
ing along tho Btreams for miles, which sur
round the lovn,prescnt a larger field for the
erectiou of such works than any town can
give anywhere iu central Pennsylvania.
In addition to thesu uJvantnces tho cap
italist will find good markets, equal to al
most any ot our larger inland cities. The
hotel accommodations aro equal to most
of tho city hotels, and iu mauy respects su
perior. Our dry goods and grocery stores
will be found to contain all articles found
in the city markets. With such advan
tages we invito capitalists to come here
and takea view of the situation. Let them
cast their lot among us if making money is
an object, on a small or a largo amount of
capital.
In a moral view wo can boast of having
fine church edifices, occupied by some of
tho ablest ministers in the country. Our
schools rank with the highest, nud are at
tended by many scholars from abroad. The
health of the locality compares favorably
with any iu the State ; and although it has
been spread abroad that Suubury is a good
location tor (he sale of quinine, intimating
that we were afflicted with much ague, thu
records show that there has been less sick
ness ot this description, and fevers gener
ally, and fewer deaths iu the place for leu
j'ears past, than has occurred iu any other
town of the same population in tho Stale.
Our citizens arc friendly iu their inter
course with btrangers who aro made
to fed that they are in a social comi'nu
inanity. Tho hand of good fellow
bhip is exleuded to all well-disposed per
sons who desire to find a pleasant home.
There arc no jealousies such as we have
seeu in other towns, which aro calcu
lated to turn away those who wish to live
nud let live. Every oue is anxious to see
straugirs locate among us. Wo have
t-poken upon this subject years ago, and
deem a reiteration of tho facts proper at the
present lime, us capitalists aro every day
seeking places for tho investment of their
surplus menus. Let them tako a look at
our towu, aud learn the advantages we pos-
bCfcS.
A few hints to our property holders in
connection with tlio tbove inay not be out
of place. Keep prices moderate', aud ns
sist in creating business. Wheu the capi
talis t applies for your lauds upon which to
locate his business, it is better to sell It at a
moderate price thau to extort, as it will en
hance the valuo of your adjoining property
to treble its present value. Manufactures are
rou'.h needed to employ the large number
of young mcu aud women who aro growing
up iu our midst. Don't have your chil
dren to go: elsewhere aud thereby scud
your money to build up towns In thu West
end other sections, w hen we have more ad
Vintages at home which will enable them
to mako a btt'.er living hero. Assist in im
proving your own home, and they will do
better hero than in auy other section. If
your lands are' Uit suitable, nccompany
those who want to buy to your neighbor,
until hs is suited, arj. our word for it, if
wealth Is desirable, your children will
bless you for your wisJot.
A law was enacted by tU late Legisla

Uithtully adliered to by tho trade, vrevent

from the various couutles was present, aud
after a short discussion the committuo de
cided to hold the Stnto Convention on
Wednesday, tho 13th day of August, in

The net providing for nn dlection of a
State Treasurer by the people, iu conformi
ty to tho recently adopted amendment to
tho constitution, was approved by Gover
nor Hartranft, on Monday last. Tho first
section of the act provides as follows :
"Until the State Treasurer is elected nnd
assumes the duties of his office according
to tho provisions of this act the present iu
cumbent, vptrti It in rennving hia ojjiciul
bond, to be ujyiroved by the Governor, not
later than tho first Monday of May next,
shall have all the powers und perform' all
the duties of tho Stnto Treasurer."
Tho official bond of Mr. Maokey, the
present Stato Treasurer, for half a million
dollars 1b' to bo fllt'd and approved before
Mayo.
Itrockway, of Columbia, is a democrat
and so is John Filler, the editor of the
Ilarrisburg Patriot. Tho best of friends
sometimes chance to disagree, and this is
what Fillet says of Brockway : "To his
other accomplishments Mr. Urockway has
added that of a reckless falsifier. He lies
deep down in his throat when he as&erts
that," and other charges of a like calibre
too numerous to mention. Concerning
lion. William Elliott, the late Speaker of
tho House, the I'o.triot mentions as its well
formed opinion that that gentleman "as a
Speaker was partial, unjust and unscrupul
ous, and often wauling iu tho dignity that
becomes the position." Urockwny insists
that Filler was influenced by money &c,
all of which is very rough, but we suppose
considered Democratic.
The New Militia Law passed by'the
last Legislature has received the signature
of Gov. Hartranft. The militia force of the
State will hereafter consist of two hundred
companies of fifty men each, nnd each
company will be entitled to four hundred
dollars'per annum from tho Stato Trea
sury. The militia tax of fifty ccuts which
has heretofore been Imposed upon all per
sons liable 'tb military 'duty has been re
pealed. Township officers W1U neglect to pub
lich a full statement of He financial con
dition of their townships, within sixty days
after the annual spring ilSciioh.'a'ro liable
to fine. Several suits have been brought
by tax payers in different counties of the
State, against officers for this neglect, and
in each enso a tine imposed. i he law re
quires similar publicity in the matter of
nhool accounts, nnd makes it obligatory ;
upon directors to imblish aunuallv a state
ment of the receipts and expenditures of
their respective school districts. If this
law be Hot complied with taK-pnyors may
refuse to settle their school tax. School
boards throughout the country should
bear this in mind, and avoid the perp'cxity
that may otherwise arise.
Important Decision. Tho Supremo
Court of the United States rendered a deci
sion on Monday in tho case of tho Mutual
Life 'insurance Compnnv of New-York vs.
Ferry. Tho company bus refused to pay j
uie insurance ou inu ine oi u iieisou uu
committed snicide by taking poison. Tho
facts show that the reason of deceased had
become "so impaired by insanity that his j
suicide was not his voluntary iutelligeut j
act." On these facts the Court hold that
tbo company is liable, although tho policy j
contained a provision against suicide. i

ray of bankruptcies every year is duo to

which will bo exceediugly unhealthy to

Wonderful Mechanism. A German
miner living nt Excelsior. Northumberland
county, has mado one of tho most wonder
ful clocks ou record, nnd when it is con
sidered that he never learned a trade nnd
had no other tools but a pocket knife and
a liftlo hammer it is surprising how ho
could produce such nn intricate piece of
mechanism. Iho clock is octagoinal in
form about three feet in .diameter. Tho
I whole is carved out or wood, the Outside,
including dial plate und all, is very liucly
I carved. Above thu dial Is a platform mir
I rounded by a line railing, in tho middle
of this stands a figure rcpreseutiug the
1 Saviour and thu figure of a rooster. When
1 the clock strikes twelve tho twelve apostles
I come one after another marching out of
ono door, passing ncross tho platform nnd
I each one of the first eleven making a bow
1 facing lite Saviour nud then passing on to
nuothrr door which they enter nnd closo
i behind them. The last ono is Judas with
1 a bag of gold in ono hand. Ha passes on
without dciguing to notice tho Saviour.
During tho passing of the apostles, tho
cock crow 8 twice and a ehimo of bell plays
; music inside. The clock shows tuc time
; of day, the days of tho week, the months of
' the year, nnd the four quarters of Iho moon.
I Altogether the clock is of a most wouderful
i nud beautiful construction. The time
occupied iu its construction was about
I throe yenrs, tho dial plate alouo taking up
two mouths, being splendidly carved. It
! is now on cxhibiliou at the residence of the
; maker, who intends, wo believe, to exhibit
it in nil tho principal cities and towns of

There is a misunderstanding ns to the
j law regulating tho postage ou newspapers
j since tho repeal of the franking privilege.
' Thp i-roonl nf Hiii frivnkiiiir lii'ivlerp. til
Government officers and Con rresssmeu did
uot affect the free exchange of newspapers
with each other, or tho freo distribution of
weekly newspapers iu tho counties where
printed. But when the poital appropria
tion bill was umlor consideration, during
t lie last flays of Hie session, liunnicndmuut
was made as follows :
"Provided, that the laws nnd paits of
laws permitting the transmission by mail
of unijfnc iitaUzr wltntw r be, nud the
same are hereby repealed from aud after.
Juno HO, 1S73."
L'uder this law, of course, newspaper ex
changes must pay .postage at the usual
rates, namely,
weekly ucwspajierd five
cents per quarter, nud ttaily newspaiters
i thirty cents per quarter. Tho same rule
nnnlies to newsoaners lireulalintt in tho
counties where priuted, and there has been
no reduction of postage, as some appear to
suppose. A bill was passed by the llou-e
making reductions iu ucwBpaper postage,
but tailed iu the Senate. Neither has there
been anv chango with re

Particulars will be forvarded soon.
The Troops Suiu'Iiised.
Lava IIeds. April 2. A reconnoiter
ing party composed of lntteries K nnd A,
Fourth Artillery, and Company E, Twelfth
Infantry, left camp at halt past seven this
morning, proceeding in a direction known
to lead to the present stmighold of the
Modocs. Captain E. Tlumas, of the
Fourth Artillery, being in command. A
dozen or so Warm Spring Ind'nns wereex
pected to co-operate on Captain Thomas'
left. Tho troops having formed in line,
the skermishers advanced wit ho it molesta
tion until they nrrived lit the foot of tho
bluff Bouth of the lava
bvds, havi'ig mean
whilu Bigualed to camp that uo Indians I
were to lie found. On roachim? lbo lilufTI
the Modoes onened a severe lire, causing
tho troops to scck such shelter r.s
could find in crevices, chasms, etc.
they
As usual, the foe was unseen. The first
position soon became untenable, owiug to
the fact thai the Indians were able to de
liver both a cross lire and an enfilading
lire, and the position of the troops was so
exposed that, up to the present writing,
seven o'clock P. M.,only two out of the nine
wounded could reach camp. Lieutenant
Wright, of the Twelfth Infantry ,h:td sought
shelter in a crevice, which was partially
open to tho Moduc tire. Grave dotibui
exist as to their ultimate safety. As sooii
as information was received at headquar
ters relative to the peril of the party troops
were at ouce pushed forward to their res
cue. Four companies were ordered out, two
or cavalry from this camp, imi from
clotii.i M ,.. siit-telieiB for the con
veyance of thu wounded were forwarded,
but the hitter are now returning, w ithout
having achieved tho object for which they
weru intci)d.id. Poor, lullows, a bitter cold
night at least before them. It is barely
pos .iblu that some of them no longer heed
the cold or heat.
Their comrades who, from various causes
uro coming into camp, show plainiy 1-y their
demeanor their heartfelt sorrow. They
feel for them, but are powerless in the
matter.
The Latest Particulars.
Lava Beds, Airil "ji!. Special to tho
New York Jkruht. The fm ce under Cop
tain Thomas, which started to ivconuoitre
the position suppoed to be held by the
Modocs, numbered sixty-nine men. The
object was mainly to liutl out how tho Mo
docs were situated ; whether tho mortars
could be brought up and used cti'ectivcly
against them. As tho troops approaches
the base of the lava beds, about half-past
ten A. M., our cotumaud was brought to
a halt and the men allowed to tako a real.
Tho slory of the first fire is differently re
ported, some sayinir five or six shots were
fired, and others only four, but Ticknor
states positively that it came from a party
of nine Indians who occupied a bluff to tho
eastward f where the troops were station
ed. Major Thomas immediately threw his
men into skirmishing order, with Lloutcu-
uut Wright's company on the right. The
latter however, had not got into position
before they were Hanked to the right by n
party of fourteen other Indiaus.
The cross nro on rignt's men proven
very demoralizing, nud they broke bnck iu
coufusiou, leaving their gallant leader in
nil exposed couditiou nnd supported by a
few of pis oon-coiumissioneu otlicer.s.
lu the meantime another small parly ot
ludiaus hail obtained a position to the left
aud opeued a rauk fire on thu two batteries
of artillery. Il was a fearful trap, nud tho
hrst tour shots were only nreu to uraw mo
troops more directly between the fire of the
Indiups ou tho right und tho left.
The route w:is complete, nnu, with the
exception of the officers nud non-commis
sioned omcers, .a .majority oi wnom my
stretched ou tho rvk with life bl 1 ebbing
fast away, tbe watchword ways tfuurc gui
(tu:."
Confuted and demoralized as they were,
tho mcu became an easy proy lo ihe Modocs,
who, confident in thu protection of their
native rocks, shot them down like bo many
frightened deer. , .. ,
Occasionally news was brought iu by the
scared, atragglers," exaggerated, iu the ex
treme, but eiguUiuuut of some dire disaster.
-.Many of ibsae men who had deserted
their otHcers iu Uuiu" of peril had seen an
liuudred. ludiaus a!l nround thorn. Fear
had indicated their vfnioo and made them
bo helpfe.-i H at onif of tlieir number was
afterwurd found dond on the field without
a'shot.-IIe had been bntebered by knives
and was so panicstruek that ho could uot
fire a shot lu his own dele use.
The Mystery of the Attack.
There was a mystery about the attack
that nobody appeared to solve as to how
the troops were so completely surprised in
camp, where there were pickets aud ad
vanced skirmishers. It appeared o strange,
that a party of sixty-uiuu men should be
almost surrounded by ludiaus, without
their bciug aware of a sign of Indians a
far as they could see.
Tbia fact alone mil give the public au
idea of tho uaturo ot the grouud ou which
our soldiers havo to contend against.
Duriug the niuht the Indians were creep
ing through the rocks to scalp aud strip the
dead. ' Soldiers coming through Colonel
Green's line told him where tho remains of
BalUinea K and A were to be fouud.
. Col. Greta immediately moved forward
bis hue lo the pluoe ludicalsd, and there,
bid in some sage brush, were tho bodies of
lJajbr Thomas, Lieutenant Howe, Acting
surgeon Sims', Sergeant Rower And iiz
other.
Lieutenant Wright's body lay a littlo to
the left, aud on tho right was Lieutenant
Harris, severely wounded, and the bodirs
of five of his men, stripped of all tho cloth
ing. Forty-nine were killed aud wounded
out of a command of sixty-nine man.
Washington, April 2ft. Tho intelli
gence from tho Modoc' war excites much
interest, especially in nrmy circles. Cap
tain Thomas, reported'among tho killed,
was a bod of General Lorenzo Thomas, for
merly hdjutant general of the army. Lieu
tenant Howe was a son of Major Marshall
Howe, nnd son-in-law of General Barry,
the commandant at Fortress monroe, and
Lieutenant Wright was1 a son of tbe late
(icncral George Wright and nephew of the
lato Genera! Sumner.
'The Indians Gatheulvo in Oregon.
San Francisco, April 29. -A despatch
from Portland, Oregon, to-night says that
1400 Indian warriors are camped at White
Hluff, Yakuma river, above Walla Walla,
putting up breastworks. (:
. Tho settlers nre alarmed.. Indians nre
traveling about painted, aud warn the
whites to leave the country. The Sponka
ne Indians nre threatening, and also warn
ing the settlers to leave. Massacrccs like
those by the Modocs are feared.
i, The producing classes of New York
are taking active steps by holding mnss
meetings, etc., to prevent the repeal of the
Usury Litws of that State. The popular
view on this question, we aro glad to say,
is earnest and correct. .
Business matters look moro cheerful in
New York than they have for a month
past It is pretty well decided that the
turning point in tho money cornor has

Letter from rhlludrlpliiu. !
Philadelphia, April 28, 1873. i
F,knd Wihcrt:- !
. 'Tis a pleasant bpring-liko morning, a 1
very rare thing so tiir this season, nnd hav- I
ing a few leisure moments, I've concluded .
to devote them to you. In the first place;
1 must correct an error of your compositor
iu my last. Ho has mado lh Governor's
Private Secretary Major A. Wilson Norris, i
l "Major Harris." The Major is one emi- J
nuuity htteii lv education and iihiliti for I
, the position he holds ; and the same facul
ties added to a fluent delivery, and a lino '
flow of words, make him n pleasant lectu-'
rer, especially upon a subject like his
"Twenty Months a Prisoner of War," up- ;
on which from experience ho can feelingly
speak. The Major was captured at Gettys
burg, and rualu,n tour as a prisoner which 1
few would euro to repeat, aud his discrip-
tion is calculated to bring tears to the
eyes of the most hard-hearted. He is uot '
n lecturer by profession, and simply does,
so upon charitable and patriotic occasions j
only, and I havo no doubt would gladly
aid your monumental committee iu their !
ellbrts. I uin glad lo see by your last that ;
they have awakened from their slumbers,
and hope now they will hammer away till j
tbo object is accomplished. i
During thu past winter Col. R. B. Beath, j
tho newly elected Department commander (
of the Grand Army of the Republic, started !
in our city a series of re-uuiousof the ilill'c- J
rcut Posts of the city aud viciuily. They j
are held as open, social meetings, ai d have j
been largely attended and are productive of ,
much good iu producing a belter under- 1
btanding of tho work nnu objects ol ihu or
der. Friday evening the !5th iust., the
third ouo was held al Iho lleud (Quarters of
Post 0, Gerninntown. Our Comrades, Gov.
Hartrauft, nil the iX'par'.mentollicers, Gen:
Wagner of Post 0, Senior Vice Comman
der of the National Encampment, were
among lbo distinguished persons present.
General Burusides, tbo National Comman
der, wus prevented from beiug present, nud
had lo telegraph his regrets nt tho last mo
uicut. The various Posts of tbo city left
tub and Greeu upon a special train at A
p. in., accompanied by a Comet lianct, anu
several martial Bauds. .. We were received
at Gcrmantown upon our nrrival by Post
0 with a Baud, and forming "marched up
the hill and down again," through a few of
tho principal streets, nnd then repaired to
the camn fires of Post 0, from whence we
adjourned lo tho bauqucting hall below,
aud did good service with knife and fork, a
qualification Post 2 (ours) is o. 1 in. Al
ter having boeu tho recipients of tho b.ouu
ty of the Gcrmautown lad its who provided
tho feast, as iu tho old times of the refresh
ment saloons, we had gpeeches, Bongs aud
comic recitations until a late hour when our
spocial train, waitiug for us, lull for the ci
ty In fhe- "wee small" hours of tho night,
well satisfied that . it was well for us to
havo been there. Among all Ihe speeches
none of them had a truer, heartier ring
thau that of our gallant comrade, the Gov
ernor of tho State. He said in substance,
that it was an association near aud dear to
him. That, having drifted into politics
upon his return from the war, he had not
taken as active a part as ho might hare
done, aud had been contented to be a pri
vate in lbo order, fearing had he douo oth
erwise bo might compromise it, believing
it to bo, as it wus, above and greater thau
politics, and entirely out of it; aud that he
could not imagine any reason why any ho
norably discharged soldier or sailor slnuld
bo outside of the fold.
At last our great thoroughfare, Broad
street, is to be repaved. For some years
back, since the removal of ihe tracks, it has
remained with ruts aud bolus caused by the
removal. Now it la to have a pavement of
Belgian blocks which already being hauled
upon the ground. Market street is also to
bo paveu with the samo.
About a woek ago the Market street cars
commenced runuiug arouud tbo public
buildiugs, and now Market, bctwoeu Mer
rick and Juuiper, is no ltigcr used except
by tho Pennsylvania Railroad, who will
conliuuu to use it. probably till uext
spring, wheu their freight depet will be re
moved to west of 15th street. The work
upon the public buildiugs progresses very
Blowly. The Masonic Temple is recciviug
its finishing touches, a pavement of slate
being luid arouad it, aud an lrou railing of
an ornameutal pattern being put up to eu-
ClOMlt.
With Ihanki for your favor I muatelose.
Believe ins Ycurs truly and sincerely.
