A Tukeatknino Letter. The following let
ter was sent to Messrs. Samuel and John Moore,
in Shamokin township, near Snydertown, the oth
er day :
Notice to Sami'EL asd John Moore Sin
We demand that Samuel will give ns three bun
dred dollars and John two hundred dollars. We
demand that you will wrap the money and this
paper in a white cloth, and take it down the
road, in the direction of Sunbury, until you find
a rail across the road ; on that you will place it
withiu thirty minutes and then return to the
bouse at ouce. And if you have not the amount
with you at present, then you must give ns all
that you have, and we will come again for the
balance, but then we will ask (200 more ; for tbe
money we will have, or do what we will now tell
you : If you don't give ns the money we will set
fire to all your barns and burn them down as of
ten as you build them up ; and if you make any
noise or call for help, or to inquire for ns, just
that soon you will see your barns on lire in a do-
sen places, and before morning that barn near
Sunbury will come down ; and if we don't suc
ceed to-night we will if it takes us one year do it ;
and if you ever try to arrest any one for this we
will do as we say. The one that brings tbe mo
ney will not get hurt If he returns to the house at
once. No more than one dare come out this
night, for if they do they will get hurt. We are
well armed and will not be fooled with. There
are men in your barns who will set them ou fire
as soon as you don't do as we say. We are not
robbers and will not enter your bouse, but we
will punish yon for refusing poor men bread at
your house. Take your choice ! The money
you must give, or your buildings. And you
must bring it where we tell you. Wrap it in a
white cloth, and place it on a rail in the direc
tion of Sunbury within thirty minutes and return
to tbe bouse at once.
(Signed,) Travelers.
A young man in the employ of the Moores
went out the road towards Sunbury at tbe time
stated In tbe letter, and saw tbe rail lying across
lim road, about one hundred and . fifty yards
from the house. Of course the request of th
writer was not complied with, and neither the
property or persons of the Moores have yet been
molested. Tbe letter was evidently not written
by a stranger, but by a person who knew some
thing of the circumstances of the Messrs. Moore.
Many of their neighbors believe that the letter Is
no joke, but a bona-fide tbrcut. Daily.

HioiiLY Complimentary. Since our enlarge

whose experience has been large in the newspa

appreciate, eminating as it does, from a gentle
man of his social and political prominence :
Milton, January 29, 1874.
Diar Wilvert :
Allow me to congratulate you upon the fine ap
pearance of the American in its enlarged form,
and Interesting matter contained in its pages. It
is a pleasure to peruse its columus the selec
tions are good and the editorials are of a high or-
der. It is a paper fitted for the fireside of every
family, and merits an extensive patronage. The
course pursued by yon in exposing the ''ring'
that has been robbing the county for years,meets
with the hearty concurrence of the Tax-payers of
the couuty, and I hope will be the means of driv
ing the crew from power and Influence. Since
the Commissioners' office has been wrested from
their grasp, the finances of the couuty have been
placed in a good condition tbe heavy debt has
been paid off, and county orders now command
tbe cash, instead of holders being obliged to sell
them at a htary that as heretefore. Continue
to oppose their rascality, and the public will
doubtless appreciate your efforts iu behalf of ho
nesty ia our public officers, and the propriety of
placing honest men in power.

Carrying Pork as a Railroad Passenger.
A Deacon the Victim. A few days ago tome
friends of tbe polite and accommodating con.
ductor, Mr. Shusler, on the Shuiuokln Valley
railroad, residing at WiUiamport, intoeton -per
petrating a joke on bim, managed to get a friend
carried through to Shamokln, by express by put
ting him on the weigh bill as pork. Our friend
Shoster, understanding tbe joke, put on the bill
Live Poik," which was so much relished by the
passenger that he promised a keg of beer. In a
few days after the keg of beer arrived, consigned
to tbe conductor. But as Deacon Martz, bag
gage "smasher" at the Oepot, and some of his
friends always have an eye open for something
good to drink, they concluded to confiscate the
luscious beverage on its passage least, the plot
being contrived by the wily deacon. The fisrt at
tempt failcd,but on the second effort, as Mr. Shun
ter was engaged with his duties, the cunning
deacon, on the promise of his confederates that
they would assist in the purchase of the necessa
ry tapping arrangement, succeeded In spiriting
away the coveted prize. After the train had
left.thc deacon, rubbing his bands in delight over
tbe success of bis enterprise, In hopes that he
would fall heir to the spigot after the promised
contributions were made, and the lusty keg had
been emptied of Its frothy contents, purchased a
high priced spigot one worth f 3 50, thereby
hoping to increase bis earthly gains. Now, Na
than, the deacon, although a deacon, is almost
human inasmuch as he holds the 'filthy lucre' in
high esteem. Ou the following duy the defraud
ed couduetor came along, and found his keg mi
nis its contents. Knowing it to be his property
he took possession, spigot and all. When tbe
deacon arrived he called upon his confederates
for the little amount due hs spigot expense, but
as the deacon could exhibit neither keg nor spi
got, they replied that business was business, and
utterly rejected the claim. The deacon Is minut
f 2 50, and declares that hereafter spigot buying
t 'played out,' murmuring lugubriously to him-
selfjsomethiug about 'the ways that are dark, and
the tricks that nrelvain.'
Take Toi'R County Paper. We copy the fol
lowing truthful remark from an exchange, which
applies to many citizens who take city papers In
preference to their own county papers because
they are sold cheap :
Do the city papers say anything in regard to
your own county I Nothing. Do tbey contain
notices of your schools, churches, meetings, im
provements and hundreds of other local matters
of interest, which your county papers publishes
without pay T Not an item. Do they ever say a
rord calculated to draw attention to yonr county
nd its numerous thriving towns, and aid In their
progress and enterprise! Not a line. And yet
there are men who take tuch contracted viewt
of this matter, that, nulcss tbey are getting at
many square Inches of reading matter in their
own paper as they do in a city paper, they think
they are not getting the worth of their money. It
reminds ns of tbe man who took the largest pair
of boots iu the box simply because tbey cost the
same as tbe much smaller that fitted him.
On the occasion of tbe presentation of a SiUby

WM. CAMERON AND HIS SPLENDID GIFT
TO LEWISBURG.
1ST JAMES AIKEN.
Our neighbor builds a monument so grand,
By blessing others with a liberal hand!
God gave him wealth, and he knows how to use it.
Thanks for his bounty, we will not abuse it,
It shall do good. For that great wealth U given
To make this world a little more like Heaven.
Our neighbor makes us happy, aud we know
There must be in his heart a cheerful glow.
Can he that's blessiug others have the bluet T
Among the angels that would be strange news.
Thanks to our neighbor. Thanks to God who
gave
Both meant and will to help our homes to save!
I know the boys, tbe keen courageous boys,
They'll form a company without much noise.
With a good engine, from devouring lire
They'll save 'by sprinkling' e'eu the Baptist
spire!
Our neighbor, blest him, gives the needed cash :
Our boys will give the courage and the dash!
Boys who stood bravely on the battle plain,
Of useful toil you'll never bear complain.
Our boys have hearts, thank God they've mus
cles too;
And eyes, and ears, so keen, so sharp, so true.
Boys, when you make a list of members true,
Write William Cameron down among thvm too.
He will feel honored, bonorury be it f
Write down his name, boys, and there let him
see it.

Singular Discovert. For halt a century
people have traversed Shade Mountain in every
conceivable direction, pursuing game, gather
ing berries, making geological surveys, measur
ing boundaries, and locating lines, Ac, yet it re
maincd for a party of surveyors to make, but a
week ago, a discovery of a cave or opening ia
the Shade Mountain, near the Bear Spring,which
perhaps in extent is only eclipsed by the Mam
moth Cave of Kentucky. In an a deep gorge
the party discovered that a large mass of rocks
and earth had tumbled down (occasioned no
doubt by the open winter and the late rains),
which, on examination, disclosed a large apper
turc, into which they cautiously entered, and
with the aid of a pine light, penetrated to the
distance of one hundred fect,when the blackness
of darkness became Impenetrable and the low
deep murmuiings of water falling over rocks
and precipices, stopped their progress. The
causeway one half tbe distance is large enough
to admit a horse and cart to be driven in, while
further on it expands. Au exploring expedition
is fitting out, and we will be able to give our
readers a better insight Into this singular dis
covery In a future issue MiddUburg rot.

Enlarged. Last week the Sunbury American
came out in an enlarged form and presented a
very attractive appearance. Mr. Wilvert, the
editor and proprietor, is an old printer, and pos
sesses considerable energy and enterprise. In a
social and business poiut of view, this "Man"
V ilvcrt is not a bad sort of a fellow, but politi
cally he is a caution. His faculty for misrepre
senting persons aud their motives is truly as
tonishing. Sometimes his conscience prompts
him to make an apology, but he always leaves
the matter in a ten-fold worse shape than it was
in the first place. However, all is fair in poli
tics, and these little trifles can be looked over.
We wish the American continued financial pros-
prosjcrity. Wattontuicn Record.

GEOGRAPHY OP LOWER AUGUSTA.
This township is part of Northumberland
coHiitv, Pa., In N. Lat. 40 degrees, 35 45 min.,
and nearly CO deg. W. longitude from Boston,
the "Hub of the Universe." It lies north of
Mahanoy mountain, which separates it from
Zerbc, Lower Mahanoy and Jackson. The cli
mate varies with the mercury iu tbe thermome
ter. W hen that indicates 90 or 100 degrees the
weather is awfully hot, and produces copious
perspiration from the out door laborer. When
the mercury falls much below zero it is extreme
ly cold. The soil in the valleys is naturally fer
tile, and when well supp Ifd with the elements of
plant fiod, and thoroughly cultivated, produces
paying erops of the various grain! and vegeta
bles. Many of our enterprising farmers, by the
application of liberal quantities of lime, stable
and of.;er manures, have produced a high state
of fertility, and become independent. Others,
by shallow ploughing, or skinning, sowing little
or no clover suffering their gates, bars, out
houses and dwellings to care for themselves, have
meagre crops, no money, and show forth their
real business character to every intelligent ob
server. Providence, which gives tbe sunshine
and the rain from heaven, cauuot bless tbe sloth
ful farmer.
The Susquehunua forms part of our western
boundary. Little Shnmokin creek rises in Irish
Valley. In its serpentine course through the
township it turns Miller's, Sbipmau's. Fege-
ley's and Weltzel' grist mills, and a number of
sawmills. Holland Run, rising near Andy Gon-
ser's, forms tbe water power for De Witt' grist
mill, and for several saw mills. It enters the river
above Fisher's Ferry. Boyle's Run turns the
wheel of Snyder's mill, and unites with the Sus
quehanna at George Seilcr's. Plum Run is a
branch of Little Shamokin. Several saw mills
are erected upon it.
Towns. We have, as yet, no incorporated bo
roughs. Seven Points, six miles from Sunbury,
is a rising village containing a number of good
houses, a church, two stores, several shops, and
is about to astonish Van Winkle by opening a
premising lime quarry In the vicinity.
Augustaville, ou the Tulpehocken road, 5 miles
from Sunbury, has some good buildings, the Au
gusta post office, a store, and several coach mak
ing uud blackstnilhing establishments. About a
mile south is the only shrine of Bacchus In the
township, Foy's tavern. HereU an Odd Fellow's
Lodge. In the vicinity there are two churches,
two practising physicians, and two commodious
graveyards.
Religious. The Lutherans, Methodists, Bap
tists, Piesbjterians, United Brethcrn and Evan
gelicalsjill have houses of worship. Several of
these have only occasional services, owing to the
lack of liberality on the part of the membership.
Numbers who worskip the "Almighty Dollar,"
cannot "'throw away their money on the minis
ters." But we have tome exemplary christiats
exceptions to the rule.
Educational. We have 13 schools. With
experienced directors and competent teachers, a
fuller attendance and closer application of the
pupils, tbe large amount of money paid for these
schools ought to produce better results if the
system is to be continued.
Commerce and Political Relations. On
market days you can set our wagons laden with
our various products for the good people of your
incipient city. Without our supply you might
starve. Without yonr money we might become
bankrupt. As to our political importance, we
save the Democratic party of the count y from in
evitable ruin, by our large majorities at the elec
tions. We fought down the free schools for ma
ny years. Wc resisted negro emancipation. We
gave a majority against tbe soldiers to vote. We
also went against the new Constitution. We
shall claim the member of Congress for tbe com
ing term, or some other equivalent for our pa
triotic services.

to the industrial and useful arta aud the. couveuieic
and renuemeuts o; k-wliI life. Great wars and cont--queut

of tb old work a ) eared, bii happily lea ended, aui

beeu couiinericed.
Large HCcvsKion to our geogr:ipkical knowledge hav4
been uiade by the iudi'fatigaliUt exi-ioreres of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the great decade
with tbe natural result of the lapse of time, have brongb
iuto public view a luultitudc of uew men, whose names
are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every ont
is curious to know the particulars. Oreut battles have
lieeu fought and important seiges maintained, of wbict
the details are as yet preserved only in the newspaper
or in tbe transient publications of tbe day, but which
ought now to take their pLice in permanent aud authen
tic history.
In propwipg the present edition for the press, ft bas
accordingly been the aim of tbe editors U bring down
the information to the latest possible dates, and to fur
nish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries
iu science, of every fresh production in btemture, and
of the UEwest iuveutions in tbe practical arts, as well as
to give a succinct and original record of the progress of
poiiiical and historical events.
The work has beeu begun after long and careful pre
liminary labor, aud with tbe most ampb resources
for carrying it on to a successful termination.
Noue of the ongiuul stereotype phttes have been nsed
but every page baa been printed on new type, forming
in fact a new Cycropaedie, with the same plan and com

expenditure, and with suoh improveineuts in its com
position as have been suggested by longer experieuceand.
enlarged knowledge.
The illusttnuons which are introduced for tbe first
time iu tbe present edition have been added not for tbe
ake of pictorial effect, bat to give greater lucidity aud
forue to the expbnations in the text. They embrace
all branches of science and of natural history, and depict
tbe most famous and remarkable features of tceuery,
architecture, and art, as well as the various processes
of mechanics and manufacturers. Altboug intended
for instruction ratber than embeiliabmeut, no pains
have been spared to iasure tiieir artistic exeellen ey, tbe
cost of their execution is enormous, aud it is believed
they will find a welcome reception as an admirable
