Dim: Hkhai ii It is again my pleas
tire to write roil a letter, and if 1 but knew
that it wotilii lie received with the same
kindlv spirit that I write il, I fear that I
would be overiowered with delight. I
w as glad to sn-e so many of your worthy
citizens in our city last week. It was real
ly a great pleasure for me to see so many
friendly faces from my dear old mountain
home. The 7iarty was a jolly one, and was
headed with twoof your most worthy citi
zens. Col. llugus "and Maj. Wntzuiati.
Among the nuinlx-r were also found Dr.
Joseph File, ol' Mineral Point, E. II. Mar
shall, your enterprising druggist. Lieut.
Alex oVle. (Jeo. Taxman. Wilson Sanner,
and John I. Scull, one of the publishers of
that staunch old Kepuhlican sheet, the
Suncrsct Hkrai.d. whose weekly nunilx-rs
are welcomed and cherished as an old
friend. The doctor, this licing his lirst
visit to our cily, had many sights to see,
and as they were show n to him one by one,
he w as thrown into an ever sum-eding and
increasing ecstacy of delight. I am told
that the doctor is' strongly of the opinion if
ithe Smierset & Johnstown ltail ItoaU is
j Imilt, that he w ill erect a hotel at the Point
! after the exact pattern and model of the
i Monomralu la House. He thinks it is the
best tavern be ever stopjied at. Political
opinion in this place is gradually tending
one way ; every day witnesses the change
of some tJieeleyites to the other side, while
the State ticket "is gradually and certainly
"ainini strength. The old feeling of boh

issued on ail the rail roads leading into the
city. A large and enthusiastic crowd of
the Frosty Sons of Thunder are exjiected
to make their al-arance and lend them
selves lo swell the mighty column of the
brave Uivs in blue, who art- not now will
ing to hand over the reins of (lOveniliient
to a t.H.li.-h and demented old man, kicked
up by an army of reluls and their sympa
thizers, but who mean to vote as they shot,
and follow the man who so successfully
lead them on to victory w bile struggling
for the nation's life in the field of battle.
Be sure and brine a hirire delegation to
meet your old comrade? in anus and have
a general rejoicing. Allegheny isas sound
and strong as ever, and is as sure to roll up
an old lime majority.
All are con-rraliilating themselves that
the Warm weather is about over. It has
i Im-cii ipiilc- pleasant for the past few days,

from the heart of the city, projierty iiniiu

just concluded that I won't buy more than
four or live acres: at least, not at present.

DALE ClTV, Sept. 7, '72.
Mn. KitiTou ; Noticing that you have
corresiiondcuce from nearly all imrts of the
county, excepting our lixtality, I will, if
vou deem the matter worthy a plat iu
your pajicr, furnish you the main stems of
news, improvements, Ac.
The most iinMirtmt improvement, now
rapidly approaching completion, is our
Narrow Gauge Bail Itoad, lielongiug to the
Keystone Company. The length of this
branch road is aliout five miles, starting
lrom the company mines by an incline of
several hundred feet in length. From here
the mad follows the base of the Allegheny
Mountain north and east until by an easy
grade and lx-aiililul curves it reaches the
P. W. & B. It. II. at HobliUcl & Co.'s fire
brick works, nhoul two miles East of Dak
City. The Keystone Co. will lie ready iu
a short time toship coal. They have their
rails, cross -ties and rolling stock all ready,
and when the grading is completed it will
take them only a few days to be ready to
ship coal, winch they expect to do in vast
quantities. Their coal has established quite
a enviable reputation for manufacturing
purjo.scs, coke Ac. The company also
propose putting up live hundred coke ovens
on the line of their road. The Keystone
Coke has lately U-en tested by steel man
ufacturers and other eXK.-rt.s, and has prov
ed suK-rior to the Pittsburgh or Connells
ville coke. After lliese works are running
at their full caiutcity they will employ from
eight to twelve hundred men. and Ihus dis
burse lor labor from lorlv to fifty thousand
dollars iieriimuth. The dejxit for this road
and comiiany is hunted iu Dale Cily, on
what is known as the Beachley 's Survey.
The suN-riuteiident, II. T. Weld, Mr.
Brace, chief engineer, and the iwymaslcr
have their oftiivs iu the coriMiraiion. near
the station. This w ill give the merchants
and mechanics of Dale City, the first
chance to sell their goods and wares to the
miners. Many of these industrious min
ers of the better class, have already pur.
chaseil lots near the station, and along the
line of the road.
Next in imiNirtaucc is the Fire TtrUk
Tortl, n short distance from the suburlm ol'
the corjsiralion. Messrs lloblilzel & Co.,
the proprietors of this establishment have
thus far cxiN-nded in putting up buildings,
and prosiccting lor clay, over fifty thou
sand dollars. They have now three kilns
in blast and the fourth one in grogress; one
has a capacity liir fifty thousand brick.
Size of Kilns C'O x 34 feet, the main build
ing or dry house is G'J x 1&! feel, the en
gine house 40 x 41) feet; the press rooms,
office, iMiarding bouse iVc, are all conveni
ently located. The tremenduous crusher
w ith w 'hit-It the tire ( lay is ground to pow
der is quite a feature. The machinery is
all of the latest and most approved styles
proiicUcd by a sixty horse iower engine.
The clay is abundant and similar to thai
used by the M L Savage lire brick comtwn v.
The company have leased sufficient clay to
last tin-in a century, t-oul and lumber are
right at hand. The company mys twenty -live
cents a ton lorlhcirclay, which makes
it as valuable to the parties that have it to
kcii as il it w ere iron tire. I he capacity ol
this establishment is to be tw enty thousand
hl'iek iter diem
I heir brick have been
thoroughly L-su-d in rittshurgh and in the
hastern eilies, HUJ l,aVe tn-en proved to lie
fully -iual to the ML Savage brick, conse-(jtiL-ntly
have no mjierior in the world.
An enterj.rise of this kind will prove im
iiiensely advantageous to our community.
The coininy is now working between six
ty and sevcuty hands, paying out 8t the
rate of two hundred dollars per clay, and
by next Spring they will iUubletheir force.
The company have orders ahead for more
brick than they are able to furnish In the
next six months. They have built over
two huudn-d rods of tram road from the
mines to the factory, a twitch or side
track from the main road, running dose
enough to their works so that they can
pitch the brick out of the kiln on to the
cars. In a subsequent article I will give
our further improvements and prospects.
Two other coal companies are getting ready
to ship coal by next Spring. The Salis
bury and Baltimore road for some cause
unknown has come to a dead halt, but I
have every assurance that the enterprising
men at the head of this company will push
their road to completion in the next few
months. There is nothing wanted now but
the Iron and rolling stock. The president
of tins road, John Ansbach and 15. I . W u
son superintendent and chief engineer, arc
the right men In the right place. I have
lately learned from a reliable source that
the Pcnna. It. Ii. Co. is making an effort
to obtain control of this branch. This
should not be so. This branch should by
all means U lone to the P. W. & U. Co.
If the Pcnna. Co. gels this road it would
cut off an Important feeder to our roau.
The P. W. & B. Co. are at present looking
out a location for machine.shops, &c. The
citizens of Dale Citv have offered all and
anv cround thev may need for this purpose
anil we arc informed from headquarters
Uiat the company is pleased with our offer
and location and more than iiKciy win com
mence putting up their buildings this com
inz Winter. As an evidence of the growth
and prosperity of our young City, I would
state tliat wc put up some forty buildings
in the last six months, and that our rost
master now receives a salary of four hun
dred and fitly dollars. Six months ago ue
only received one hundred and ninety dol
lars. The salary is determined from the
amount of stum j sold. Our postmaster in
forms us that il his salary had been deter
mined four months later, it would have
amounted to over six hundred dollars.
Town lots are being sold every day and
buildings will goon throughout the winter.

Kill. Herald : We were just thinking
what a similarity or coincidence there is
lictween p-eat events of the past and pres
ent day. The Devil left Heaven in order
to be the "biggest toad" in the lower re
gions. Greeley left the Kepublican arty.
Solomon built the Jew ish Temple, and the
P. W. A- B. H. H. Co. w ill build a depot
at Ursina.
The world rolls on through siace as it
lias done for thousands of years ; and the
cars rolled to and from the Ursiua depot
for the last year and a half, and the dejiot
building is not yet.
Dr. Livingstone, after his long silence
to the outer world, is alive and well. He
still goes tm w ith the great object of his
life that of exploring the African Conti
nentand the K. R. Co. have explored,
and intend to continue doing so, the ground
lietwccn Brook tunnel and Coniiuenea, un
til thev decide where the deot shall be
erected.
The locomotive clindis Hie Ilocky Moun
tains drawing its train laden Willi travel
lers and merchandise from all parts of the
world. MUsing through the snow sheds in
order to uikke their way through the
mountains : and travelers on this line are
(Implied off at that same little shed nt l"r
sins.
The bridge across "Old M'iddy" (the
Mississippi) is being erected, and ue hoe
the I rsina depot will lie erected.
Wc advise all travelers who may cull at
Ursina, to never look for the deiot, but
take a lice line for the "Benford House,"
where he may fare sumptuously every
day.
The citizens of our town and vicinity
are blest with good health at present, al
though wc have an undertaker Mr, Zim
merman who keeps a supply of fine cof
fins on hand at low prices. Wc advise Mr.
Zimmerman to advertise in the Hekai.d,
and injure him success in the business un
less icople khould cease to die.
As time and ideas are alike a scarcity
with us, we will close.

Eiiitous Herald : The time for hold
ing our County Fair is rapidly approach
ing nud as yet no programme is laid before
the people" The burning ol Somerset
seems to lie a drawback with some. In
our opinion this should be a strong reason
for holding a Fair this Fall, as it will
certainly bring money UiUiwu and givethe
people in attendance a chance to exhibit
their lilierality. Several weeks ago yopr
well informed columns assured us that am
ide accomodation can lie obtained, and cer
tainly all in attendance w ill lie accomoda
ted temporarily and otherwise.
The general inquiry throughout the
county is : why don't the officers tell us
w hat to do ami we w ill take care of the
balance. Now all that is necessary. Is !ir
those in authority to meet, lay plans, make
out a programme and then let all go to work
and who will doubt its success or the liene
licial influence exerted.
I'ulcss a rejxirt is soon given, those in
authority may expect the severest censure
from I he people.

TO THE IFTTBXjIC :
At a itil)Iie nifctiup- Iit-M at tins Court House, in the borough of Sont r-it,
on Friday, the 10th day of May, a. d., 172, the undersignt-d wire apitoint-
eti a committee to present to the puMic a brief .statement of the terrible dis
aster inflicted upon the town, by the recent destructive fire, and apiei fcr
aid in In-half of our suiTerin-' jn'ople. In dischanrinf? th?3 duty, we will en
deavor to convey a faint idea of the fearful calamity in as few words as pos
sible. About four o'clock P. m., on Thursday, ninth of May, a fire broke out
in the western part of the town ; a fierce wind was blowing; at the time, and
all efforts to check the flames proved futile. In less than two hours thi.s
efhee beautiful town was laid in ashes. The extent of ground over which
the destructive element rajyed is about thirty acres in the central part of the
town, including all the .stores and hotels save one of each ; all the banks
and oflices, including two printing offices, all places of business except pub
lic buildings. One-third in area of the solidly built, and nearly the entire
business part of the town is in ruins, and certainly three-fourths of the
wealth of the place is utterly destroyed. Tbe fire raped with such relentless
fury that the terror-stricken people had tt flee for their lives, and consequent
ly but little of personal protK-rtv was saved. Indeed, many escaped with
no other clothing than that ujion their person at the time. To a large initii-lx-r
of the sufferers it is a total loss of every thing they possessed, aiid thev
are left houseless and homeless, without a thing in the" world and deieiiil-ut
ujion the public for bread. Others, ujion w hom the calamity is not so severe,
are greatly in need of aid to enable them to take another "start in the battle
of life. The loss w ill not fall far short of a million of dollars, and the total
amount of insurance will not exceed one hundred thousand dollars.
Generous public, that in the past has responded so nobly to the cry for
help from foreign lands, and to the appeals of our own countrymen who have
suffered like direful calamities, we call upon you in behalf of this sufferinf
but hopeful people FOU AID SUBSTANTIAL AID. Your charities will
confer a lasting favor upon them, and we sincerely hope that in the exercise
of your liberality and generosity it will be like tie quality of mercy, "not
strained, but twice blessed, blessing him that gives and him" that takes."
