Oca Trip. Having embarked on the train en route
for the coal regions, ou Monday Isst, we were comfort
ably Heated ly that polite aud good looking conductor,
well known to the traveling public for his many courte
sies to passenger cn his traiu,Cat. Shunter, we could not
help but enjoy the fine scenery kloug the route. Every
where we obered the noble farmers in their rields la
boring hard to secure their eroj.s of grain '"earning
their bread by the sweat of their brow." lu a short
time we reached Snydertown, which phuv- Una givrtly
improved within a few years. A nmubffjyot comforta
ble dwelling have been erected, and old one neatly re
paired. The farmer along 8hmokin creek evidently
understand how to keep a farm iu good conilition to
produce good crojw. Their summer crop ut-vc-r looked
better, aud a large yield may be expcled. At Paxino
the spirit of improvement is visible. A fine brick hotel
is being erected iu modern style, and other improve
ment are being made. Our friend liobb, the efficient
postmaster lookrd happy in hi little building. We
hoi the railroad cnn'iiacy will noon become geuerou
enough to build him a larger house for a depot and
office, so Jie will not be comin-lled to turn pawn-ager
out iu the cold, to find room to sell them a ticket to ride
over the road.
Pausing on through Kiiamokiti to Mt. Carmel, we
fouad a change. Kveryu here could I seen steam -cajiing
through pipe at collieries, aud the dumping of
coal in breaker. The route to Mt. fennel i oue of the
rnoxt interesting. Passing through wood np the
mountain a grand picture present itself. A mountain
scene with humming machinery every few hundred
yard, doited with i-mill village built up by miner, who
love to lulior
''Down in the coal wim s
rudemeath the ground.'
At Locust Gap Junction we took a look at thai noted
sjiot known as Pat Hester residence. Noticiug a large
number oi cart and wagons, we inquired whether Pat
had at last reformed, and gone to contracting to make
an honest living. We were answered in the negative,
but that he performed the duties of road supervisor, of
that township, for a brother who had been elected to
the office. Mt. Carmel towuRhip ha had a great deal
cf trouble ia the paRt with their road supervisor, and
the tax payors have suffered considerably in a icnni-
ary way. But a Pat has been an active memlieroi the De
mocratic Court Houe Ring In this couuty in the past, he
has no donlit been taught to be honest, for the Ring
have always persistently denied stealing anything.
At Mt. Carmel we met a number of old fumiliar faces.
The Hon. Saninel Bergstresser engaged in th mer
cantile aud insurance burine, continues to wear that
friendly smile, aud to always ready to entertain Li's
friends iu most hiwpilable manner, lie continue to
be a active iu business as he was fifteen years ago. 11.
I). Rotherme, Canhier of the Mt. Carmel Bank was "on
bis busy day," but found time to show ua through that
institution. This bank i one of the firmest of the
SUite banks, and will, before long, become a Sationul
Bank. Mr. Rothermel is one of the most correct busi
ness men in that section, aud is giving general satis
faction aa an eillcieut 1 Milking oflicer. Father Ayre,
postmaster of Mt. Carmel, was a usual at kia st.
There are but few postmaster iu the couuty who apply
themselves closer to the duties of tbe office than Father
Ayr, and who give better satisfectiou to thecommuni
ity. We found but few who were idle in this place. A
work has generally resumed at the collieries, all find
employment. On Monday a miniature strike occurred.
The slate picker, lioy, turned out at a colliery about s
half mile from town, for hicher wie. They received
from $3 to f6 per week.
D. D. Bolick, has lately increased hi stock of boot
and shoes, and is kept biuy waiting on his customer.
MU Carme! is one of the roost healthy places iu this
part of the country. Everyliody look robust, and we
seldom hear of a death occurring in that borough. The
town la neatly built up. The streets arc kept in I he best
condition. Tbe atmosphere is cool, aud the fragrance
of tbe foliage aud flower from the surrounding moun
tains makes it most delightful place to visit.
On proceeding to the Reading depot, on our dejiart lire,
we were gratified to notice the Improvement made late
ly. The old leg bouse has been white-washed inside
and outside the floor omitted, perhaps to give it a con
trast, lieturuing to Shamokin we were placed under
obligation to V. I". John, Esq., for a ride behind his
Diaguiflcient family horse, lately purchased at a high
figure. Animals like his are not easily foiinA, and com
mand a high price. Our ride extended over Hie entire
town. About half of the town Is never see), unless travel
ing over the ground. Shamokin ia increasing more
rapidly iu population than any town in the couuty. On
very street bouses are going up, and old ones oouveiied
into business places, and repaired to correspond with the
modem styles. The business places are not confined
to the centre of the town, nor to a few street. Every
street ha it s'ores, groceries, millinery establishments,
hotels and manufacturing places, kc. On many of the
streets away from tbe centre of the town, nicguiucicnt
residence have been erected, and beautiful lawns laid
out. The late panic has not effected the place material,
ly, as most of the coal ooilerie continued to operate,
but not on an a extensive a scale as during Vr. last
mouth. On Saturday last, about fi:M,IM0 were paid out to
employees, about f 67,11 of which was paid by the Miuei
al Railroad aud Mining Company alone.
We returned home much improved in physical
strength, but our purse i still in a condition that needs
replenishing to meet our liabilities. All who promised
to pay next week, and those who we did not get to see
will confer s favor to remit to us liy mail.

our political friends who contemplate being can
didates for nomiuatlons at tbe approaching
County Convention, that it's the fashion to have
cards printed bearing their name, and designat
ing the office for which they propose being can
didates. This you can have done by sending
your orders to tbe Anitriei Office, on short uo
lice and at the lowest price. Every candidate
should also have bis card inserted in the Ameriean
from now until tbe convention, that the people
of tbe whole county may know who are the as
pirant. The time is drawing near, and your
announcement should be made at once. Our
charges arc moderate.

7S years. The Doctor was favorably kuown
throughout this and adjoining counties as a
physiciAU, and was frequently called to distances
from home to consult lu critical cases with other
prominent physicians. As a neighbor and cili-
ecu, he was highly esteemed for bis many noble
and generous acts. In bis death a vacuum is
left that will never be filled. His funeral took
place oa bunday last, and was ntteuded by a
larger concourse o people than any that has
occurred in Snyder county for many years.

the Timet) previous to the funeral the vehicle
npset. He was thrown under tbe wagon and the

rolled over and dragged a considerable distance.
When picked up ho was found to be unconscious.
Dr. Weaver was summoned and made an exami
nation, but found that no boors were broken,
but tbe man was badly bruised and stunned.

Aitks A Candidate. J. J. Aulen, of the
Watsoutown Record, who has gone through the
mill several times as a Democratic candidate,
and put on the shelf by his friends to be used in
the future, has again announced himself, and
now is a candidate for the. Democratic nomina
tion for Prothonotary. But we presume that
John is not very sincere in his aspiration, judg
ing from the following humorous sketch ol his
past experience published in the lltcord of last
week :
"Running ron Oefice. When a man Becomes
a randidnte for office he is regarded as public
property, and although he may succeed in his
aspirations, the protection thrown around him
by himself and friends serves but little in coun
teracting the stories of hi opponents and inter
ested politicians who always work with a zeal
worthy a better' cause to gain their ends. The
satisfaction relished by this fact alone Is enough
to Inspire every candidate with confidence iu the
'Wwsiw'siiercjindtie Wm to-jce a-Nta&arii
price on bis moral worth and political integrity !
A candidate very frequently starts out "nt the
urgent solicitation of his many friends" and
comes back at the modest request of politicians
and an ungrateful convention. For the glorious
privilege of being a candidate he has a red nose,
a bad breath, no sole on his shoes, no charac
ter, no friends, his trowsers torn by a farmer's
Infuriated dog, while his pocket contains nothing
but a bunch of musty tickets, made so by the
sweat produced while vigorously denying a cer
tain base fabrication promulgated iu the inter
est of a candidate, who left just tweuty miuutcs
ago! So it runneth! He comes home from
tha convention and gives his wife and neighbors
an elaborate description of how near he came
buiog nominated, and Is very certain that he will
never forget "those fellows" who planned and
nnquestlouably caused bis defeat. Tbe "if"
are brought in at regular intervals in the narra
tive, while his affectionate wife, ever mindful of
her sacred vows, gives encouragement to her dis
appointed by telllug him that "It is just as I ex
pected," and "you might have known better,
you old goose !"
Tbe writer hereof is not without experience in
the business whereof we speak, although we never
had it as bud as some others. Last year (we are
certain as to lime) we started for Harrisburg to be
a legislator. We had nearly everything fixed,
notaing remained nndone but a few preliminary
arrangements which were necessary and could
only be properly transacted in the Court House
at Sunbury. Tbe world knows the rest and so
do we ? To go "up the spout" was our only in
evitable, and John went. Our name Is again in
that long list of "boderation candidates," and
ir we are again defeated, we will just oil up our
old press, take off our coat, spit ou our hands
and help with our little paper to elect the whole
ticket, and it any one growls about that he
ought to be nomluated next year to make his
living by Pelliug pork to the Jews, or by keeping
a country tavern in a local option county after
everybody else is dead t"
Remember the Dead. In no way can this be
better done than by erecting a suitable tomb
stone. This has been done in all ages. The
rich built cost.y monuments, while those favored
with less of this earthly goods, get something
iu proportion to their means. Marble is cheap
now, so that all can get some kind of a grave
stone to mark the spot of their loved ones. W.
M. Daugherty, on Fourth street, near Market,
turns out grave stones for live dollars a set and
upwards. A good stock on hand to select from.
Call and sec.
She tried to sit down in the street cur, but was
pinned back so tight she couldn't. Old lady
peeped over her specs and asked her, ''How long
h:ve you beeu afflicted that way 1" The young
lady blushed and made "a break," sitting down
sideways and holding her kuees together so tight
that she looked an It she had on a one legged
pair or breeches. Old lady noticed her sitting
iu this sidewise cramped position and whispered :
"Bile, I s'pose ; I've had 'cm myself."

Wr. are informed that the store of i. Biniraman k Co.,
at Georgetown, is doing an immense business, since
opening their new poods.
TnE Shamokin Depot. We noticed for sev
eral weeks past, In the Shamokin papers, notices
of the getting up of burlesques in that placo on
tho Pennsylvania railroad company for not
erecting a more suitable depot. Shamokin has
now one of the most dingy, gloomy, filthy look
ing depots wc have seen Tor some time, and wc
aro not surprised at the citizens for complaining
of a corporation that neglects to provide some
comfort for their town which contains some ten
thousand inhabitants. Tbe corporation derive
probubly more bencllt from it as a feeder to their
uniiu line thau auy place iu the State. While
the passenger depot is sacrcely fit for a lady to
cuter, the business men are deprived or a freight
depot. The principal freight carried to the place
is brought over another line, because no protec
tion is guaranteed. The only freight depot now
in use is a house car on wheels Tho car con
tains freights, merchandise, Ac, and when the
the owner desires to get his goods he is frequent
ly compelled to search for a distance of two nnd
three miles to find the car, as It is moved along
the line or railroad from Luke Fiddler Colliery
to the Weigh Scales. With such facilities for
the business people of a town like Shamokin,
carrying a larger trade than probably any town
In this county, is to say the least discreditable to
the company and unjust to the people. It is an
old saying that ''corporations have no souls,"
which is verified in this instance, and business
men and travelers will readily observe it when
going to that town. After repeated requests by
the most prominent business men of the town,
asking the company to erect a depot and freight
bouse, and no attention being paid to them, a
few weeks ago a paity organized and put up,
during the night, a small building about 6 by 8
feet, with a number of inscriptions on the out
side as a burlesque. This building was thrown
over into the channel a few days ago, and the
following inscription was placed over the ruins :
"New Detot. 1 was erected as fitxideratwn.
Sub tiUniio for pro bono Publico. I was built
Javiia 2tintrva and Jfirabile dicta. I was a short
time ago Matjna notnini i6r,and I might have
said veni. ridi. vici.
"JIESUJIGA-V:
"Amidst thy ruius, "new depot," my spirit
walks fo-day,
In search of thy magnificence, thy glory passed
away.
'Midst crumbling columns, wrecks of ancient
grandeur, do I tread,
Like Eonie 'lorn ghost come back to monrn a
city of the dead".
This sad cpudiiicn has beeu reported several
times to the company by their subordinate offi
cers without heeding their advice. If the di
rectors would proceed to the place they wonld
find that tho complaints are hell founded, and
that the citizens are at least entitled to better
recognition in this regard than they have hereto
fore received.

Sir : Our election is now over, aud Wallis has
been taught his insignificance by a majority or
near eight to enc iu favor or Samuel Hunter,
Esq. I hope this manifest declaration or tbe
sense of the county will prevent his giving ns any
trouble on tbe like occasion for the futnre. The
Jersey men who went to see your land have re
turned discouraged. The fact I believe was they
were tampered with. One of them told mc of
the offer Reuben Haints had made him, which he
seemed to think very advantageous. The best
thing to be done would be to get some person
once seated on the laud. One John Poetlewaite,
of Paxton, lias mentioned bis intcution of com
ing np and settling on your land. I will write to
you further about him. A better man fur tbe
purpose canuot be got. Ho has been bred among
the Dutch, speaks their language, and is intelli
gent. Isaac Lcvan, Jr., the late (and perhaps pre
sent) coroner for Berks couuty, has spoke tome,
and teems much in earnest abou. carrying on the
business of brick making nt Sunbury. I have
given him all the encouragement in my power,
and told him that a piece of ground should be
laid out for a brick yard in any place out or tbe
town, and desired him to I dorm me or the most
proper place. It would erhaps be bad policy to
give an exclusive right of making brick to any
person or company, yet I think some preference
ougl.t to be given to those who come first, and
as far at I can learu, this man is the most worthy
or such preference of uny that has yet offered.
If convenient I would be glad of a line from
you with respect to the brick yard, least in my
eagerness to encourage this man whom I like, I
might go too far.
The town or 'Northumberland seems already
to have made great progress towards oblivion,
as it is seldom spoke of save by the disappoiul';d,

James TIlgbn.ni, Esq.
Sir : Since writing tlTTiigT have been
called on hj IT. Tiunkct, who informed me that
he and Samuel Maclny are now In possession or
a number or orders ot survey which Samuel
Maclay had formerly made some agrecmeut for,
that although neither he nor Sam'l Maclay would
take on them to say that the orders were origi
nally lutended for the ground tbey Intended to
lay them on. That nevertheless from the de
scription contained in them, It was not In the
power of any stranger to ray tbey were not.
That Reuben Haines had just told him (the Doc
tor) that ho was refused warrants for the land in
question, because Samuel Maclay had been at
some pains to procure these orders, Scc. I have
told him that I thought he should get all these
orders altered in your office so as exactly to fit
the land In the same manner that people do
with their warrants when they happen not to get
laud in the places Intended. This will be much
more in tbe proprietors' favor than taking out
new warrants, us a very considerable sum will
arise to him en tbe arrears of quit rents and in
terest, and of course I think will meet with the
approbation of the receivers. It Is really a fact
that I now know that much greater translations
iT orders have been committed in the surveying
and retumsag of land, und still coutinne to bo
committed. It would be a little hard that tbe
Doctor and Samuel Maclay should, on account
of their greater openness uud fair dealing, be
subjected to an inconveuience that worse people
ucver feel. Since they arc obliged to comply
with the agreement formerly made and arc uow
actually possessed or the orders, I must beg a
single line from you on this subject. Reuben
Haines has offered his services to the doctor, and
solemnly declared off with respect to this land.
Tbe doctor and Samuel Maclay return you
their most hearty and sincere thanks for the ser
vices you have rendered them on this occasion,
or which they arc folly sensible. I am
Your most oliedient nnd humble servant,
Wm. Maclat.

Editor Am'rican :
It gives me grcut pleasure in
staling that there is a prospect of starting nn
Educational Association at this place. 1 hope it
will be. a success, as reformation is much needed
in our village.
A pic-ulc of the Union Sabbath School, of
Herndon, will be held on the 21st hist., In the
new camp meeting grove. An invitation is
c
tended to all the neighboring Hnbbulh schools to
participate in the cclebratlou. A good old-fashioned
celebration is anticipated. It will be a
basket jilc-nic, which means that all shall come
with a bountiful supply of eatlbles.
I sec by the America that several hundred
dogs could be spared in your town. That is
nothing to be compared with Herndon. Night
is mnde hideous, and an attempt to sleep is im
possible. In fact the canine music has caused
the pastors to leave In disgust. C.

On the down hill side or Ufa, which an old

the frame gradually bends under the weight of
years, the system requires to be sustained under
the burden Imposed upon it. Innumerable
physiclal ailments and infirmities then press np

Tribute of Respect.
At a regular staled meeting of the Eureka
Lodge, No. 260, 1. O. of O. F., held July 10th,
1S75, the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted : .
WHEREAS, It has pleased Providence to re
move from onr Lodge oneof our brothers to join
tho mystic membership on the banks or the
pearly river in that belter country, and while we
mourn his absence we know our loss is his gain ;
it is therefore
Iieeolved, That with sorrowful hearts we yield
to this decree of Providence that has taken from
us our beloved brother, Joseph Mavrer, and
while we think of the beautiful home be has
gone to enjoy, our hearts grow sad with the
thought that his welcome voice shall never more
be heard in our councils, and that we never again
be cheered by his preseuce.
lietoloed, That we tender our heartfelt sym
pathies to tbe friends who monrn tbe loss of a
kind busbaud and indulgent husband, one whom
to know was to love, and would say to them God
knows best what is good for us.
Hetolved, That we will atlend his funeral as a
body, and will wear the appropriate badge of
mourning for thirty days.
Kttolvtd, That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to tho family of the deceased, and that they
be published in two of the county papers.

ScRrriNER for ArursT. The publishers of
Scribner call atteulion to the series or articles
by Col. Waring, now being published in that
magazine, under the title or "A Farmer's Vaci-
tion." These papers arc claimed to be among
the most amusing as well as practically valua
ble illustrated articles which have appeared for
some time past. Col. Waring Is well known ns
an engineer nnd a farmer, as. well as a graceful
and entertaining writer. In his recent European
travels be was naturally attracted cot only by
picturesque phases, quaint scenes and quaint
people, but also by the various nzrlcultnral
customs and devices. His article in the'Angnst
number describes the pretty isle of Guernsey, and
tells a great deal that is of interest about the fa
mous so-called Aldcrnev Cow, which is here "at
home." "A Middy in Manila" is a rollicking
iji'.tle - illustrated sketch, whicb reads very like
fa ral liar hater to some old "chum" at home.
Albert Rbodcs's paper, "Along the Seine," is
timely through Its summer quality. George W.
Cable, of New Orleans, has a story entitled
"Madame Dclicieusc, which is thought by some
to be his best work. It will have a foreign smack
to Northern readers, bnt -they will find it none
the less graphic, witty and charming for that.
Dr. Holland, In this number of "Sevenoaks,"
celebrates a wedding in that rural neighborhood.
Then there is a solid essay by G. F. Magoun, on
"Education and Free Thoughts" also "A Word
of Euconrngement for Timid Linguists." "The
Stone Period or the Antilles" (containing some
matters not hitherto made public), "An Englc
wood Mystery,' "How to Treat the Indians," by
an Iudian Agent; an illustrated paper on "Ice,"
more or "The Mysterious Island," and verses by
poets or note, and poets not or note. In the
"Topics or the Time," by Dr. J. G. Holland,
"The Old Cabinet," "Home and Society," "Brio-a-Bac,"
"The World's Work," etc, the usual
variety is maintained.
