An exchange offers the following sugges
tions which are worthy the reflections of all
who are in the habit of decrying the indus
tries and enterprise of tle town wherein
they live. Talk np your town. Yes, talk
it up and work ir it. Don't grumble if
anything and everything is not up to your
ideas, enjiecially if you do nothing to make
the place better. Ifcin't tell strangers it ia
the worst place vou know, that it is worse
thai-any other town of the same size. En
courage every useful and creditable enter
prise in your midst, for as sure as effect fol
lows cause, so sure will enterprise or merit
repay every citizen. We cannot liva unto
ourselves and we cauuot discourage a move
ment in behalf of place without inflicting
non ourselves personal injury.
Ed. Herald. The editor of that milk and
water sheet, The Meyersdale CammfrcUtl,
is something more than ordinary In the
way of a reformer, in fact he reminds ns of
one of the "latter day saints," in the way he
is reforming everything. It will be easily
remembered by those who have been read
ers of that delectable sheet how, alioutfirc
or six years ago this great editor ferreted
out the "Greenville school house bnf nrrs ;"
tried, convicted, and sent them to states
prison for life. This he did all himself, for
I never heard that anybody else ever med
dled with the "Greenville school house
burners;" and of course he has them in the
penitentiary because he always said that be
would not abate his effort until he would
have them there, and as I hare not seen
anything in his sheet for quite a time about
the school house bnrners, so it is to lie taken
for granted that he has them there. This is
reform Xo. I. " ' ;,
Second, it will also be reminlcred how
easily he and a few others, a year, or nearly
ago, proposed Blaine for I'rcstJcutand nom
inated him at Chicago for the Republican
party, and of course he was elected hast fall,
and inaugurated yesterday, and the honor
is all due this "latter day saint, the editor
of the Omvureud. This is reform Xo. 2. ...
Thirdly, yery easily will it be remembered
that last fall he arrested, tried. Convicted

Fourthly, this great saint has entirely re
formed the Republican party, smashed cau
cuses, and driven to the devil the machine,
has elected Grow to the X. 8. Senate, made

Fifthly, he (this great reformer) in the

Brothers ALLrT, March Tt, 18SI.
Tuc Past Present and FrrrfcE. Duriug
the time of the extension of the ritt-burph
A Connelisville railroad from Connellsvilte
to Cumberland a number of towns were lo
cated along the line of the newly construct
ed line, each claiming some peculiar local
advantage as an inducement for the build
ing of a town.
Confluence and Cra-iia became the most
prominent among all the embryo towns.
They are onlv two miles distant by rail and
grew up together like twin sisters, and up
to the time of the panic of 1S7S presented
quite a business-like appearance.
The latter had a slight advantage ia poiut
of time, ;it being a year or mor,e ths cldesr,
and derived a still greater advantage through
the pluck and enterprise ofits founder, who
spent money profusely to promote the
growth and business of the place.
Through his influence and enterprise he
secured the construction of a branch r.i"
rood into the cold fields and timber tracts
along the head waters of the Laure Ihill
creek, which for a time added much to the
business of the town ; but fur some cause
this road has since been abandoned and the
iron removed, but not until the timber was
nearly exhausted, while the coal remains
undisturbed.
Confluence had the promise of much in
the beginning of ths town, but secured
nothing. The principal officers of the P. &
II. K. had an interest in some of the
land, Rnd they promised To have the com
panies shops built at this plai-c, it being
about halfway between ritisburg and Cum
berland, hut subsequently became unable to
comply with their promises, and Confluence
was left out in the cold t fipht its own bat
tles.
The Confluence Co., through tiic promises
of the railroad Ottil ia's was enabled to sell
lots at unusually lnrgc figures( but they qui
etly put the money in their own pockets
withont doing anything to advance too
growth and business of the place. The
town of Confluence bad nlways to rlopend
poll its local advantages and the ent.Tj.r.e
of its inhabitant.'.
This beautiful village is lo.i:.l . 0:1 the
peninsula formed by the con i'.ueace of ihe
t'ppcr Yough and the Cassclman rivers, and
the Laurel Hill creek, bl miles exit of Pitts
burgh. The 1'ppcr Yough form the natur
al outlet for a portion of this and FayetU
counties, alsa for a large portion of Preston
Co.,W. V., and Garrett comity ,Md. The I p
per Yough is the most delightful stream in
the county, nd is admirably adapted for
the rafting and floating of timber. A luioru
has been built across this river about a mile
above the confluence of these streams which
affords quite a convenience for those who
are engaged in the floating of timber down
the river. There are large timlier tracts in
Garrett county for which this vailoy is the
only outlet. The Tpper Yough valley is
admirably adopted to agricultural purposes;
the climate being the warmest mid most
fertile iu the county.
Confluence is the natural shipping point
for all the surrounding country, except that
portion lying east of L'rsina. At present it
is, perhaps, the largest shipping joint be
tween Connelisville and Cumberland.
Those who bought lots and built houses
upon them a few years ago in the hope that
there would be machine shops built here ac
cording to promise were, of course, sreatly
disappointed, but after all they have less
cause to regret their investment than was
formerly supjoscd. The surroundingcoun
try is rapidly improving and as the country
improves the town will also improve.
At present there is a scarcely of houses.
and rents arc consequently hih, but this
speaks rather more in favor of than against
the place. It will have the effect to cause
those those who cxtect to remain here for
some time to build, in preference to paying
hittli rents.
There arc eight stores and groceries iu
this place, all of which seem to be doing a
paying business. The medical profession
has three representatives here and they
seem to be flourishing. There are also two
good hotels that are doing a flourishing bus
iness. Then too, we have five who wear
clerical robes and are busy callingsinners to j
repentance.
The morals of the place are utisurpascd
anywhere. There arct wo tincchurch build
ings here, the one is owned by the M. K..
and the other by the Lutheran church.
All the business enterprises of the town
appear, to be in a fluuruhing condition. Of
course men 00 not accumulate fortunes
yery rapidly, but the enterprising and in
dustrious are making money. There is one
old citizen, the man who bciit the first
house in the place after the location of the
town, who lias been lucky enough to ac
cumulate sufficient in a few years of active
business to retire, and is now growing cor
pnlent from the peace and quiet f private
life. Another would have been able to ac
complish a sitnilar result had it not been
for the untimely intervention of heart-di
sease. There are tew persons here who are
not profitably employed, and those who are
not are personally responsible for their fail
ure. Of course there are Mine loafers hang
ing about all towns, but Confluence has less
of this cla than any town of itssiz? in W:e
county. .
Those who contemplate changing their
place of business, or are dcirotis of going
into business should visit Confluence before
investing elsewhere. Taxes are low as com
pared with many other boroughs, ond would
be lower, but for the neglect or incompe
tency of some former Councilmen, who bur
dened the tax payers with a debt of about
ft) for which the borough would not
have been, responsible had tliey understood
or attended to their business properly, but
this debt is iu process of (.liquidation and
will soon ltd no more. X.
Confluence, March 5, l.sXl.
Hrotiikrsvallet Items:
The farmers throughout the towuship
have all their sugar making vessels in readi
ness and the pails, distribute! along the
trees, are waiting patiently for the "ground
hog" season toend, when they expect to tap
the sweet sap unless "Veiior" turns np by
that time and gives us six weeks more of
snowing and blowing. However a few
have taken advantage of the "ground hog"
and tapj-cd their sugar tre?s a week or more
since.
The miners of both onr mines, Morgan A
Co., aud Philson Si Co., are now on a strike
The railroad company Increased the freight
on coal, and in consequence the companies
were obiiged to reduce the miners wages
from fifty to forty-five cents a ton. The
resalt was all the iniucrs in both mines
quit work, but it is to be hoped that they
will soon resume their work at the offered
price, which may seem low to the miners,
but it is all the company can afford to pay,
besides lam informed that they can make
from thirty to forty dollars a month at the
ollered price .which is certainly not poor
wages, at least it is better than nothing.
All the schools in the township, except
two, closed a term of five months to-day,
the other two will close next Friday. As
far as known to mc the attendance was very
good, considering the inclemency of the
weather, during the present term and the j
schools were a grand success, which is more
Uian was. expected, considering the low
wagws the teachers received. I-ast Wednes
day I had the pleasure of attending, at Sun
dy Hollow, a f-peliing school and school ex
hibition. The larjw school rooiu was jam
med full of pupils and spectators, but the
bes.t of order prevailed throughout the ex
ercise, which is nothing unusual at Sandy
Hollow. The spelling was excellent, but
the exhibition was better nnd consisted of
readings, declamations, dialogues and stump
speeches. Little boys not more than six
years old, delivered declamations which
would be an honor to a hoy twice that ugc.
The dialogues were of the liest, and the dif
ferent arts well, performed by the pupil of
tho schools, especially one of the dialogues,
'The Doctor and his Patient," was magnifi
cent, and frequently caused laughter and
applause. The sjicllingand exhibition were
a grand success.
Sandy Hollow can boast of a literary so
ciety that has been kept up during every
term of school for the last twenty or more
years, which I think is more than any other
school district in the county can say.
