The parties who have been taking tbe
right of way for the Harrisburg & Western
Railroad through this county have met
with very little difficultly and we are in
formed, expect to finish up the business this
week. They have been securing the right
ot way for the line that runs several miles
north of town, but have done nothing as
yet on the route that runs through the
town. This docs not look very favorable
for Somerset.
We learn from our farmer friends that
much of the corn planted this spring failed
to sprout on account of inferior seed. They
allege that owing to the unfavorable weath
er for gathering the crop of last year much
of it was cribbed in a wet condition, and
during the bard freesing weather of the
winter it was so badly frozen that the germ
of the grain was killed. Some farmers have
replanted patches of their fields where the
corn sprouted in spots.

of pretty girls. Ia Oonnellsville the boys
are largely in the majority. It was perhaps
with the idea of evening matters up a little
that a dozen of our young men last week

indulged in a hop at the Somerset house.

. On Thursday last as Mr. Win. H. Baker
of Middlecreek township, was returning
from Fayette county, lie was attacked and
robbed of several dollars by two traini at
theconrity line road, a short distance from
the residence of Jonathan Hochstetlcr in
the same township. Mr. Baker says they

and evidently meant business, but Mr. Ba

Dkcouatiok Dat at Stotstowr. Ordcs
were issued from tbe Reuben Ferner Post,
Grand Army of tbe Republic, dated May 21,
1SS3, directing the observance of Memorial
Day.
On the morning of the 30th by 9 o'clock,
tbe streets of the village of Stoystown were
full of people. ' Tbe citizens of the commu
nity for miles around laid aside their usual
cares and came in to join in the ceremonies
assigned for the honor of our fallen heroes.
Tbe procession formed on Diamond
Square in the following order : Members of
the G. A. R., 2nd, Veteran Soldiers not
members of the G. A. R.; 3rd Sunday
Schools ; 4lh, Citizens. The column headed
by the Union Brass Band and a Martial
Band organized for tbe occasion, proceeded
to the Lutheran Church where the impres
sive ceremonies directed by the ritual of the
G. A. R. were gone through with, after
which, the orator of the day, Prof. X. B.
Critchfield, in his usually pleasant and elo
quent style delivered the address of the day.
During the time tbe address was being de
livered the eye of many a veteran Soldier as
well as others, was moistened with tears,
prompted by memories awakened by the
Speaker.
Some very excellent music was rendered
in the church by the choir, and an appropri
ate solo sung by Rev. A. S. Baumgardner is
worthy of special notice. At the close of
the excercises in the church, the procession
moved in the first named order to the Odd
Fellows Cemetary, where after another im
pressive ceremony by the G. A. R. Post,
beautiful wreaths of flowers prepared and
borne hither by the town and community
were deposited on tbe mounds rising above
eyery soldier's grave. The ceremonies at
the cemetery completed, the prccassion re
turned to the village and details from the
G..A. R. Post were made to complete tbe
work of the day at this place.
In the afternoon ,the Post divided, and in
response to calls coining from Horner's
Church and Larabertsville a detachment
went to each place, where tbe ceremonies of
the order were repeated and again the floral
offerings of Spring were strewn upon the
graves of those who fell in Freedom's holy
cause. So ended Memorial Day in Stoys

W. II. M
1st inst, says : " The City Directorr for tbe
current year contains 80,734 names, or 4,212
more than that of the . previous year. The
publishers calculate that the population of
Pittsburgh, Allegheny, and the adjacent ter
ritory covered by the work reached 288,000
- - Pittsburgh baa- always been
growing place, and will continue to grow if
she only gets half a chance."
. We have in our possession, as perfect as
when it came from the hands of the book
binder, : The Pittsburgh Directory for
1815," , containing tbe -warnee, professions
and residence of tbe beads of families, and
persons in business in the borough of Pitts
burgh, with an appendix containing a va
riety of useful information, printed for
James M. Riddle, compiler and publisher.'
In this directory we find the names, resi
dences, etc., of 1305 persons in the borough
nroner. and of 100 in Birmingham, Law-
renceyille, Bayards town, etc" In his pref
ace the compiler uniquely says : The dim
culties naturally attendant upon uie nrst
attempt at a work of this kind will, to can
did, reflecting minds, be a sufficient apolo
gy for the errors which- may appear ; to
men of different disposition, the Compiler
does not deem it necessary to offer one,"
The .history of the borough ia giyen
follows : " Pittsburgh, the seat of justice for
Allegheny county, Pa,, is situated on
point of land formed by the confluence of
the Allegheny and Monongabela rivers, in
latitude 40 35' K. long. 80 33' W. about
300 miles W, by N. from Philadelphia, 250
from Washington City, and l.lto (by land)
from New Orleans, in early times a ion
was established here called DuQuense,
which in 1758 was blown up and evacuated
oa the approach of General Forbes. Shortly
after a fort was built by the British called
Fort Pitt, and about tbe year 1700 a small
town called Pittsburgh was built near the
fort, but tbe present town of Pittsburgh was
first laid out in 1705, and afterwards laid
out and DUTVeyed, on its present plan, in
174.
The ground plot of the town is triangular,
In con-t)the streets running parallel with each river
which! at their, junction form an angle of
about 33 degrees. The population in 1800
was about 2,400 souls in 1810 the census
gaycf 2,740, and in 1815 a calculation, found-
on what is believed to be correct data,
makes an estimate of upwards of 9,000. This
great increase of population is to oe attribu
ted to the late war with Great Britain, which
converted a great portion of the capital of
the seaboard into manufactories, much of
which was concentrated in this place. The
transportation of southern produce, during
the war, through Pittsburgn across the
mountains, also contributed greatly to the
increase of the population here. Three
weekly newspapers are published in the
borough, besides two periodical literary
works the former have an extensive cir
culation the latter are chiefly confined to
the' town and immediate vicinity,
The public buildings (in addition to tbe
churches hereafter cnumerr-ted) are a court
house, prothonotaty's, register's, sheriff's
and commissioner's offices, a jail, three in
corporated banks, a dramatic theatre, a Ma
sonic ball, three market houses (one in the
Diamond and two in Sacond street) an
Academy, etc.
Few .'places can boast of more useful im
provements in manufactures and the me
chanical arts than Pittsburgh it has been
justly and emphatically styled The Bir
mingham of America." A comparative view
of its progress must indeed awaken admira
tion. Until about the year 1793 its progress
was not rapid. In the year 181 we behold it
rich and flourishing, daily augmenting in
manufactures an i commerce." The officers
of this rich and flourishing borough were
Burgess, John Darragh; Town Council,
John M. Snowden, President; John Rosen-
burg, William Lucas, Thomas Perkins, Mah-
lon Rodgers. John W. Johnston, William
Anderson, John Caldwell, James - Brown,

Next Tuesday, June S, Wm. A. Rhoads is

raisings in this township. I hope the can
didates for the different offices will embrace
this golden opportunity of killing two
birds with one stone helping to raise
the barns and shaking bands with our stur
dy farmers at the same time. Let me say
right here that I have frequently observed
that a candidate does as much work at
raising as three or four other men. I have
often wondered why a candidate is such a
hard working man at a barn raising.

management of the Balto. and Ohio Rail
road, the Picturesque line of America, have
arranged an excursion to Ft. Monroe and
Norfolk, Tuesday, June 19, at the exceeding
ly low rate of $0.65 for the round trip from
Somerset, including rail and steamer ride.
Those who participated in the charming
excursion given by this company last year
are eager for another dip in old Ocean, and
unanimously agree that no other spot is
half so inviting as old Point Comfort. Who
of last year's excursionists does not remem
ber with pleasure the delightful bathing,
sumptuous fare and successful fishing at
old Point Comfort, the views of southern
life glimpses of which are obtained in Nor
folkthe invigorating, effect , of the sail on
the ocean, the interesting sights at the Capi
tal of the Nation, and lastly the pleasures
of the ride oyer the B.& O. R. R. Seven
days' time will be given excursionists to
drink in all the luxuries provided by tbe B.
& O. Company, and we opine that not one
of those who were included in the list of
excursionists a year ago will be missing,
and that the roll will be eSlarged by the d
dition of their " sisters and their cousins and
their aunts." Remember that the occasions
for such pleasures are limited, and this op
portunity to visit the ocean should not be
lost. Send to E. D. Smith, Passenger Agent,
Pittsburgh, for programmes of details, &c
m
Don't forget it when you want a good suit
for yourself or child, that the old reliable
stand of J. B. Snyder & Co.'s is the place to
get it. They have just received a new lot of
the latest cut and styles. Call and see
them.

Quite a large number of our fanner friends
congregated in the Diamond Monday after
noon to witness an exhibition of that won
derful piece of machinery, "The Buckeye
Down Binder," which was to have been ex
hibited Saturday, but owing to its being de
layed on tbe railroad, did not get here till
Monday. We will not attempt to explain
the workings of this machine or to give tbe
many advantages it possesses over all com
petitors, any more than that, it weighs five
hundred pounds less than any other Binder
now in the market, and cuts, binds and de
livers in the most workman-like manner,
any one being able to manipulate it, as
there will be another of Uie same kind ex
hibited at tbe same place at 1 o'clock p. ni.,
Saturday, when all interested parties are
requested to be present and witness its mar
velous workings, for themselves. .The one
shown Monday was sold to Mr. John H.
Miller. The following telegrams explain
themselves:
