The spirit of improvement seems to be the
rcigniug power in our place. Go where you will
yon can Fee new buildings going up and old ones
being repaired. But we regret that no such Im
provements as we would like to see arc being
erected. No manufacturing establishments, for
which our location is so favorably adapted, arc
being erected. There is no town in the State
that has greater advantages for any kind of man
ufacturing than Sunbury. Our transporting fa
cilities arc not surpassed anywhere. Five direct
lines or railroad terminate here, rnuning cast,
west, north and souih, on which transportation
is cheap and quick. All who have examined our
location for any kind of business express their
surprise that capitalists do not invest more in the
place. For furnaces and rolling mills there is
uo place so well adapted. Our surrounding
hills abound with inexhaustible beds of coal, ore
aud limestone. For the manufacture of lumber
we have, probably, the greatest facilities. iu the
United States, our broad and beautiful basin af
fording any amount of water power. Besides
the industries named, the location is suitable for
cotton factories, or any other manufacturing o:i
a large or small scale. The products can be
manufactured aud sent to market at much less
cost than from manufactories lu the cities. With
6uch advantages, in a locatiou so healthy, capi
talists, at no distant day, must invest aud pros
per. With the green hills around ns, pure
spring water and a June atmosphere, doctors
are not much needed.
There are other inducements to those who
arc looking for a desirable place to establish
iu business. The heights east of the borough
present a situation for the finest residences that
can be built. The room there will accommodate
a large population. All that is needed to con
vince any one of the fact Is to come here and
take a look at that growing suburb of our place.
Several of our finest residences occupy that part
of the town, and it is destined at no very remote
period to form the most populous part of our
place. The people of Sunbury are sociable, and
straugers always find a pleasant home among us.
A Pleasant Entertainment. On Friday ev
ening last, an entertainment waB giveu by the
senior members of the Good Intent Fire Compa
ny of this place, at the Hall of the company, to
the ladies who assisted at their late festival,
which was one of the most pleasant aflairs of the
season. The parties gathered in the hall at 9
o'clock, aud the meeting was called to order by
the President, Thomas M. Pnrscl, Esq., who
stated the object, and introduced T. H. B. Kase,
Esq., who made an appropriate address, civing
a partial history of the working of the company,
and the hardships the fireman endure ; and
that though they present, externally, a rough
appearance, they possess warm hearts, wlr.ch
are alwaj s ready to relieve the distressed, aud
touched truthfully and feelingly upon the sub
ject of the danger to health, limb and life, in
curred by those who voluntarily enrolled them
selves as tire me n. Iu concluding bis remarks,
he stated that he had a very pleasant duty to
perform, the presentation, to Miss Wertman, of
a thimble, by the senior members of the compa
ny. Not that they thought her more worthy than
the other ladies, who rendered their assistance
in the promotion of the interests of the company
ou the occasion of the festival, but because she
was the principal defeated competitor for a simi
lar article, they deemed it no more than justice
to present her with a thimble as a token of re
cognition for her services.
The gift was received on the part of Miss
Wertman. by W. C. Packer, Esq., in a neat re
sponse. He remarked that It was altogether a
surprise to the recipient of this token of regard,
and that it was with reluctance s-he accepted of
it as she knew that there were many other ladies
present who were probably more deserving of
like regard than she, but as they had so kindly
selected her as the subject of their beautiful gift,
he had the gratification of returning to the com
pany her ncceptarcc and heartfelt thanks; and
as this useful gift shall be put to servi.-e on the
baud of the recipient and as it will, together
with the needle, unite and utilize material, eo
will it bind her her heart to you senior members
of the Gom1 Intent Hook and Ladder Company
No. 1, and their friends.
After the presentation, ice cream was furnish
ed by that king or caterers, M. C. Gearhart, and
cake furnished bv Miss Flora E. Purst.ll, and
Mrs. W. P. Roberts. Music was then struck up
and the party enjoyed themselves "tripping on
the light fantastic toe" until the town flock gave
warning of approaching morn.
Mast or our subscribers have probably forgot-
teu that our terms call for (1 50, and $2 00 if
not paid within the year. We deem it proper to
again remind them of that fact. Our paper bills
become due about the first of every month, and
we are uot in cireostances which enable us to
lay out of our money or the interest, particularly
since our profits have been reduced through our
enlargement. It certainly must be evident to
every one of our subscribers that we cannot pub
lish a paper as large as those for which are
charged t2 00, on a better quality of paper, and
lay out or our money long, as we are compelled
to pay interest on money standing out. We
therefore appeal to all to be punctual in the pay-
meut of their subscription, Ac, that we may be
enabled to discharge our indebtedness. Upon
the punctuality of our patrons depends the fur
ther improvement of the American. In addition
to the advantages derived to us through their
punctuality, they would save the sum of fifty
cents per annum. We arc at present very much
iu need of money. Having seut bills to a majo
rity of those who owe us, we hope they will te
spond nt once for their own benefit us well as
ours.
Tue Cataract's Ex(TKiox.-Yesterday morn
ing the Cataract Steam Engine Company started
on their trip to Alleiilown, Easton aud Dauville,
leaving this city about 8 o'clock. They were ac
companied by Mayor Smith, several members or
the City Council, Chier Engineer Barker, the
Lock Haven Cornet Baud, uiid a number or citi
zens. The excursouists proceed at once to Al
leutown, where they will be the guests or the
Good Will Engine Company or Alleiilown, with
whom they will remain until Thursday morning.
From Alleiilown the party goes to Easton, there
to be entertained by Phocuix Engine Company.
They will remaiu iu Easton until Friday morn

Valley train to Danville, arriving at the latter
place at 3:20 p.m. Here they will be taken
charge or by the Washington Hose Company.
At Danville they will remain uutil Saturday
uioriiiug at 11 o'clock, wheu they will take a
special train on the Danville, Hazclline A. Wilkes
barre railroad, for Suubury. They will remain
at Sunbury until evening, when they will take
the P. fc E. railroad for home.
The trip bids fair to a most enjoyable one, aud
we have no doubt but the boys will return well
pleased with "the good time passed away," aud
anxious for an opport unity to offer whereby they
may show their appreciation or those with whom
they met. lAtck Ifmrn llejiublican of Wednesday

The Potato Bugs are continuing their destruc

be on the increase. Like the locusts aud lice or
Egvpt, they take iossesioii r the ground, nnd
prey upon this useful esculent. When fully ma
tured, they are as large as a finger nail, and the
shape of a turtle. No means of destroying them
short or picking them off or the vines and burn
lug or burying them lias lieen discovered, unless
a spoonful or Palis Grean dissolved iu a buckcl
or water, and sprinkled ou the vine, will do it
but that is a very tedious and offensive method

Ouk jovial rrieud.Jack Waltz, proprietor or
the Empire House, was lately presented with a
foreman's hat, being foreman of the Washing
ton Steam Fire Company, which is not only a
curiosity for its unique shape, but for its anti
quarian services. Moie than a quarter of a cen
tury ago, when Sunbury prided more in military
glory than in fire departments, it is well remem
bered that this ancient of hats covered the cra
nium of a brave hero of the Negro Island cam
paign, during the reign of Felix Mourer, as She
riff of old Northumberland county. As the
troops' took their departure from this place,
amidst the wailing or wives and weeping or ba
bies, and marched with glittering bayonets to the
rails of Shamokin Dam, there to embark in a flat
boat to sail for the entrenchments of Negro Is
land, this handsome present, now bestowed upon
a worthy fireman, was seen in the front rauk of
that gallaut band with a handsome red aud
while plume floating in the air, taking a conspi
cuous part in leading the brave to victory. At
the island this same historic relic was seen in
advance going over the entrenchments, bringing
forth the aggressive woolly-heads, frightened to
the darkness of ebony, wheu a cheer from the
victorious heroes rent the air, nnd the echos re
sounded along the hills clear to Fort Augusta.
On their relurn at sunset on the same day, men,
women and children kept eager watch along the
river shore to get a glimpse or the red plume
that adorned this same hat, now the gift or his
comrades to our worthy friend, and as its bright
colors were seen to flash Iu the declining rays of
the hot summer sun, as it movea majestically for
ward in the advance to the beat of the soul-stirring
drum, and the note9 of the shrill fife, which
piped forth Tankcc Doodle and "The Girl I left
behind me," many hearts bounded with joy, all
feeling confident that where that hat took the
lead, no blood inn tpilt. This handsome present
will, no doubt, form a conspicuous rcaturc or the
parade or the fire department to-morrow.
Boat Racing. We have often been surprised
that sportsmen have uot discovered that we have
the most beautiful basiu for boat racing that
can be found anywhere within the boundaries or
the United States. Here the interest docs not
centre alone upon the race, but the sublimity or
the scenery, the historic associations aud length
or the race ground far above old Fort Augusta
adds interest to the sport. Between the old "Blue
Hill and Suubury, a distance of nearly a mile,
and from Shamokin Dam to Northumberland, a
distance of nearly three miles, amidst the most
beautiful scenery on cither side, the junction of
the North nnd West branches of the Susquehanna
form a race ground not equalled in any stream
within our knowledge. The depth of the wa
ter within these points is from 10 to 15 feet, gen
erally clear and placid during the Summer and
Fall. A boat race on this calm sheet of water,
from the Island to the Dam, a distance of seve
ral miles, will be an exciting amusement to both
spectators and those concerned in the race.
All who come from a distance to witness oue will
be amply repaid this evening at C o'clock.
FinLMES. To-morrow, at 10.40 a. in., the
Cataract Steam Fire Engine Company or Lock
Haven, will arrive at this place, accompauied by
the Mayor and City Council, Chier Engineer,
memlicrs or the bar, and also or that or the
press, or that city. They will be received here
by the borough council and Sunbury fire depart
ment, and will parade through several of the
principal streets. We hope that the usual hos
pitality of our citizen ) w ill be extended to them.
A Boat Rack. A row-boat race will take
place on the river distance from Market street
to the Island on this (Friday) evening, at C o'
clock. We are informed that the gentlemen who
are principals in the race are from Williamsport
aud this place. A small wager is put up for the
winning side. We are not iu the habit of betting,
but we will venture our only copper pocket piece
that the Sunbury man wins.

We are frequently in receipt of paier uiid
pamphlets scut to us by persons who have mark
ed portions of articles which they desire to have
inserted. Essays that they have written and
read, or speeches delivered, also claim the use of
our columns ami the space that we devote to
other purposes. It is just as well to be under
stood that none or these requests receive any at
tention. Were it otherwise our whole paper
would be filled wilh these generous scissorings of
of our good frieuds, which, while each 'clipjK-r'
would think that his or her offerings are Just the
very thing, those of all the rest are wholly inad
missible. The fact is, we must be left tocdit the

On Friday, Mr. Stevens and wife, on their

A t'oitiiKsi-tiNiiENT of the Mil;, on Monday,
gives the information that a number of citizens
of Lower Augusta township have lately beeu
swindled by a New York salesman who was
celling them inferior goods, and theu left for
other parts. After so many repeated cautious
giveu by newspapers not to deal with these
characters, not much sympathy will be given
for those w ho get hit by them iu this enlightened
age. A Tew dollars spent for a newspaper might
perkaps saved some or the victims forty or fifty
dollars.
E. B. Haines, the historian, well remembered

Dem Nose. A few weeks ago we noticed the
fact that a fracas had occurred iu jail between
"Blinker" Yos,t and another prisoner, which re
sulted in straightening the prisoner's nose. Since
then the prisoner has been liberated and the im
provemeut made on dem none was truly wonder
ful. So improved was the physiogomy or the
prisoner that scarce any or his former friends
recognized him. At the time or his incarcera
tion the prisoner's nose 6tood at an angle of
about forty-five degrees, and through a game of
euchre and with aid of "Blinker" Yost's mailers
?c note was completely mashed. Dr. Krcbs,
who was called to the aid of the prisoner, readily
discovered that a little elevation from the usual
course or surgery would make an impioveracnt,
and with the aid or plaster remodeled the aprobi
cis and made it straight, so that "dem note i$ now
vhere der note ought to he" in the middle of the
race. Yet we regret that the doctor did not
shorten it, as a rew inches amputated would
have improved the prisoner's T;icc still more, aud
he luiuht now pass as a handsome man.

Fatal Accident. On Saturday afternoon
lasi, Cassie, an interesting daughter of Wm.'
Ramsey, of this place, aged about five years,
met with an accident which resulted in her
death. She was leaning over the stair-railing in
her fathers residence, aud loet her balance and
fell to the floor beneath, a height or fourteen
feet, striking her head. The injury nt the time
did not appear to be so severe, as she was ube
to run around for a time. But some four hours
after, she fell into a comatose state which made
it difficult to arouse her. Blood letting was
tried but with little avail as she gradually suuk,
and on the following Monday morning, breathed
her last. She was a bright, intelligent child.
It is a terrible blow on her fond and doting pa
rents with whom we deeply sympathize. Dan

The Gratz Aoricti-tihal Society. At a
meeting of the directors of the Gratz Driving
Park and Agricultural Society, held on Saturday
last, it was decided to hold the first exhibition of
the society on the 22d, 23d, 24th and 35th or Sep
tember next. Mowing and reaping matches Arc
also to take place under tiic auspices or the so
ciety, to test the merits or the var'.ous machines
that may desire to be represented at the fair.
Agents are invited to be on hand with their ma
chines. The times and places of these trials will
be announced hereafter. The following are the
committees of award : Ou Mowing Messrs
Franklin Byerly, H. B. Schrciner. Capt. B. J.
Evitts, William Hoffman, Franklin Kehler, Si
mon Daniel, E. L. Umholtz; on Reaping
Messrs Benj. Byerly, Jo-iah Hoke, J. Q. Adams,
Joseph Wehry, Daniel Keiser, C. T. Bowman,
Geo. Daniel.
The grounds of the society arc enclosed, the
driving park nearly complete. I, anil the exhibi
tion buildings are to be commenced in a few
days. The work is progressing favorably, and
there is every reason to hope that the approach
ing Tair w ill be a success in every respect. Lil

Staiiiiinii Aifaiii. The village if Seven
Points, iu Lower Augusta township, was the
scene r a fracas on the evening or the 10th hist.,
in which a little slashing or knives was indulged
in. The parties who got into the fracas were
Edward Marsh and John II. Boughner. The
latter was stabbed in several places in the abdo
men, and Marsh was cut across one or his hands.
Neither are dangerously hurt, however. Marsh
brought suit before Sqire Snyder, or this plac,
ou Friday, against Boughner for stabbing him
in said hand, aud against Aaron Raker for aid
ing and abetting the act. Both gave bail for
their appearauce at court. We understand that
Boughner has brought suit before a Snydcrtown
justice against Marsh for the stabs received by
him in the abdomen. Boughner's friends allege
that Marsh cut himself i,i the hand while using
a knife against Boughucr. Marsh also gave
bail for his apcarance at court. Ihi'dy of Satnr
dag.
Pl six John Auten announced himself a candi
date Tor the legislature, he has been interviewed
by a Democratic brother who knows the "ways
that are dark, and the tricks that are vain"
about Harrisburg, to discover whether John knew
any thing about the art of the "Fancy." When
John answered in the negative, the brother shook
Lis head ominous!)'. Johu was once euchred out
r Deputy Siicritf, and we fear his chances for a
nomination as a Democratic candidate, will be
extremely slim without a knowledge or cards.
Lakct.nt. A young woman named Mary
Gearhart, living at John Kcenau's, corner or
Market and Fourth streets, iu this place, was
arrested last cveuing by Captain Roach for steal
ing a set of jewelry from a lady inmate or Mr.
Keenau's house. 'Squire Bricc committed her
to jail, in default of bail, to iusure her appear
nuee at Court. The girl made some resistance
to arrest by scratching aud biting Cupt. R. She
also made an attempt to elude arrest but was
cornered by the Capt. on the old depot lot.
iMilg of yetterdag.
Since the above is in type we learn that the
girl named is a subject fur real sympathy, and
that all who witnessed the arrest say it was a
heartrending case. She is only ubout 15 years
old, has no education, and is considered weak iu
mind. She uo doubt committed the act without
knowing it to be a crime, with a view of dressing
in imitation or our gaudily dressed women whom
she may have noticed iu our streets.
This same girl has lately been seen roving
about the streets and alleys with a pack of young
men iu pursuit. On Sunday evening some five
of these young men molested her on Front street
in a most shameful manner, preventing her from
going her way. As it was yet quite light many
witnessed their disgraceful conduct. As she has
had no opportunity or getting into any other so
ciety than such "roughs" as we allude to, better
things can not be expected from her, aud while
we Iiojh! her c.isc will be disrtosed or as it should
be in a Christian community, we would like to
see the ruffians arrested and punished, who, uo
doubt, have been following her, and led her into
evil practices.

The beer saloons were crowded with miners aud
laborers to slake their thirst. About six o'clock
a severe fight occurred at the house of Mrs.

the call und restored order in a fe minutes.
One or the offenders was arrested and lodged in
the Lock-up on Sunday, but managed to escape
from the constable who had him iu charge.
On next Saturday another heavy pay will be

Dead. On Saturday last, John Best, a resi

Potato Bi gs. If you wish to make potato
bugs "git up and git," just buy a box or Scotch
snuff, punch the lid full of little holes, and sift
it over the plants. If there is a hug within
smelling distance he will ''told his tent and si
lently steal away," There is no humbug about
this. It will drive thorn off, while they will
grow fat on Paris green. ('UarMd Journal.

'Tis an as;e of invention, improvement and skill.
The world's in commotion, ai.d nothing is still ;
And progress in written wherever we turn
So ! "the ball is kept rollinir," and each day we

Of some new achievement in science or art ;
Each branch of industry in fact claims a part.
So each is awarded a prize from the hands
Of a generous, public as merit demands.
So music's department can point, in her pride,
To men of true genius, whose fame has gone
wide
O'er hills and through valleys, iu mansions and
and cots.
Well, due are such honors to "Beatty X '(((.,
Whose Golden Tongue orgau stands first in the
land
The Jlcxt as to merit, and first in demand.
Licelliuir in sweetness and richness of tone.
Surpassing all others, and standing alone.
Its worth is acknowledged wherever it is knoyn,
As all will bear wituess, and cheerfully one
For equal in workmanship, beanty, desiirn.
Or finish, they challenge the best in the line.
Where faces were gloomy, and hearts once were,
sad
What homes arc now cheerful yes, happy and
glad.
Continue thy mission, thy song 'Goldon, Tongue,'
Hath chains of enchautment for old and for
young,
