certain that he will be condemned to

- WATER SmELLnio,—The Lewistown
Democrat says : About a year ago, Mr. D.
M. Contenor, (f Mento twp., Mifflin coun
ty wishing to dig a well near where he
intended to erect a house and barn, called
upon a certain Mr. Johnson, who lives
near Altoona, who had the reputation of
a "water smeller," to locate his well, Ac
cordingly Mr. J, came, and having gone
through "the motions," located the well ;
but not in the place Where Mr. C. wished
it ; and hi not having strong faith in the
"smelling," process, concluded not to dig
at Mr. Xs location, but dug where he
wanted the well, although Mr. J. told
him he would not get water there should
he dig a hundred feet deep, but guaran
teed water where he (J.) located the well,
within 35 feet. After Mr. C. at a heavy
expense had dug 40 feet, he abandoned
the well, and commenced' oh the location
of Mr. Johnson. He has just now finish
ed the well, and has water at the depth of
33 feet. • He is fully converted.
Mr. Johnson's mans operandi is as
follows : He cuts from a peach limb a
forked branch, the branches about 15 or
20 inches long, the but three or four inches.
He takes one branch in each hand, hold
ing his hands about a foot apart, the butt
standing upright before him, and walks
slowly and steadily over the ground.—
Presently the butt turns down towards
, the groufid. He goes back a few steps,
erects MS branch again, and resumes his
walk ; and at the same place where it
turned down, down it goes again. Here's
the stream, certain—no fail. So' much
for the place. Now for the depth. •He
goes back a step or two, erects his forked
branch, and comes slowly up and down it
goes again. Now he stands still. He
turns the branch up, tries to hold it, but
down it comes. lie stands and repeats
the experiment until the branch refuses
to turn down any more. He now Inul-
tiplies the number of times it NO id
down by seven, and he has 9 the depth of

YOUTHFUL TAint.r.ns.—Ozt Friday
last there arrived at this place, Eve chil
dren named nays, the oldest of the party
a boy of 14 years and the youngest an
infant of 16 months,, who came alone from
Minneapolis; in Minnesota, in search of
some relatives in this neighborhood. They
were entirely destitute of money when
they reached here, but brought with them
a Tater addressed to Jeremiah Kaiser
whom they did not know and could not
find. It seetnafrom their story that their
father died some months ago, and quite
recently their mother followed him to the
grave, leaving them destitute and without
friends or, relatives . in 'the 'West, and they
had made'this long journey together in
search of some of their mother's relatives.
When they, reached . :this place. in their
helpless condition some of our good cit
izens interested themselves in their behalf.
Mrs. Col. Lull took them in charge and
provided for their wants, and Sher i ff
Fletcher was active in adding to their
comfort. On Saturday morning Jeremi
ah Eaiser, to whom the letter they brought
was addressed, came to town and took
them With him to the home of his mother
and their grandmother, which is a few
miles from town on the Warm Spring
road. Though entirely destitute an d
travel-stained they are all bright, intelli
gent and handsome children.—Repository.
R. R. SunvEys.—Our town during last
week had quite a visitation iL the way` of
railroad engineers. The Baltimore ds Ohio
corps on Friday evening completed their
line from Hagerstown to the East end of
the Borough, which• we understand is
twelve miles long, and which they report
favorably as regards grades, etc. On Sat
urday—morning they commenced and a-
bout noon on Monday completed a second
line from Antietam Junction to a point
atior near the Mill of Mr. Samuel Frantz,
.on the Greencastle turnpike, about one
mile West of town, but of which we have
no particulars. The corps returned to
Hagerstown on Monday evening. Mr.
Gitt who was to have been here and. con
tinued the line to Cleversburg has been
delayed for a few days when he will'
commence the work.
Maj. M.. W. Boyne, in the employ of
parties connected with the W. M. R. R.
also completed a line a little less than six
and a half miles to this place on Saturday.
His starting point• was at or near Welty's
mill on the W. M. R. R. The steepest
grade on this line is•eighty feet, much of
which is quite light. Maj. Boyne is an
experienced engineer and was very careful
in making the survey,so that his estimates,
which we expect to lay before our readers
next week, can be relied upon.
We learn that Ex-Mayor Chapman on
Saturday finished his line from the Sum
mit upon which he had been engaged for
several weeks. Its length is said to be
about ten miles with heavy grades.
BASS Rem—Last week Dr. I. N. Sul
vely, Rev. D. F. Good and D. M. Detrich,
Esq., rirchased at the Potomac a lot of
Black Bass and have stocked that part
of the Antietam flowing through their
lands. If these gentlemen succeed, as
they doubtless will, in getting that stream
stocked with this favorite species of fish
in the course of a few years, the benefit
will be a' public one. The public are
therefore cautioned against disturbing
them. A law passed by the Legislature
of this State makes such persons guilty of
trespass and liable to a, penalty of $5 for
the first offence, $lO for the second, and
$2O for the third and each and every sub
sequent offence, and on non-payment of
such penalty the defendant to be commit
ted to the jail of the county for a period
of not less than five days. This is the let
ter of the law in regard to the matter,and
we give it for the protection of the fish
and that persons may not involve them
selves in trouble ignorantly.
S. S. Plc-Nre.—The Sunday School
which meets at the Union School House,
held a very pleasant pic-nic on last Sat
urday in the beautiful grove which en
circles the school house. The attendance
of the people in the neighborhood was
very general. Our old friend Mr. Henry
Oaks is superintendent of the school, pnd
he ;nay well feel proud of it, for it num
bers one hundred members, all interested
in this good cause.
Rev. W. H. Hibshman and Lew. W.
Detrich Esq. made some very appropriate
remarks which were very well received.
The Brass Band from State Line was
present and played some beautiful airs.
The Band has improved very much.
WASH. COUNTY FARMS FOR SAIR.-

tee of the estate of Jacob Shockey, of the

D, F, MYERS TO JNO, STEWART, ESQ,
BEDFORD, Pa., Sept, 19, 1872,
Jahn Stewart, Esq., Chambersbury, Pa,
DEAR SIR : I am informed by, a gentler
man who was present at a political meeting
at Mercersburg, the other day, at which you
delivered an address, that in the course_of_
your remarks you declared that I am "an
open and avowed Free Trader," and that
you had authority for this statement from
my own lips. Believing that you misun
derstand my posiss'on on the tariff question,
and that you are too fair-minded a man to
misrepresent a political opponent with ma
lice prepense, I. respectfully beg leave to
correct your statement.
I presume you referred to the course of
the Harrisburg Patriot, some time since, on
the subject of the tariff, or something that
may have appeared in print attributed to
my authorship.. However this may be; I
ask you and all others who regard the tar
iff question as an issue in this canvass, to
judge me by my record in. Congress, 'rather
than by newspaper articles or words utter
ed in the heat of a political contest. The
record shows that I voted against reducing
tbA3 duty on pig iron, and that on every
p position looking in that' direction I act
ed with the remainder of the Pennsylvania
delegation. On all articles of home manu.
facture, I invariably voted with the major
ity of the delegation, led, on the taritrques
tion, by Messrs. Randall and Kelly. I did
so, not because I believe that "protection"
is panacea for all the ills attending the man
ufacturing interests, but because I knew the
sentiment of the people of the district to be
favorable to protective duties on articles of
home production, and as one who believes
in the democratic theory of government, I
felt bound faithfully to represent that sen
timent. I voted for no measure which even
squinted it "Free Trade," unless the reso
lution passed by the House of Represent
atives in the Spring of 11,71, placing salt,
coal,. tea and coffee on the free list, for
whica many protectionists voted, may be
so regarded. In the re-adjustment of the
tariff in May and June last, I voted for 75"
cents per ton on coal, though President
Grant in his last annual message recom
mended a low duty on that article, and Mr.
Secretary Boutwell suggested in his report,
a reduction to 50 cents per !ton. By this
record I ask to I e judged, and if you, and
those who think with you on the tariff
question, choose to condemn me, von and
they also must condemn W. D. Kelley, 17-
leases Mercur, and, in fact the whole renn
sylvania delegation in Congress, Republi
cans as well as Democrats. I shall do in
the future as I have done in the past, and
as longas it may be my privilege to repre
sent the people of the Sixteenth Congress
district in the national legislature, I shall
endeavor to reflect their will and to legis
late for their interests, on tariff as well as
on every other public question. With much
respect I am Yours truly,

CIIAMBEITSBURii, Sept. 2nd A. D., 1872
Gentlemen :—I have always held, and nev
er hesitated to express, the opinion that
the State of Pennsylvania is, in duty and
honor, bound to make good the losses sus
tained by the people of the border counties
during the late war, I havealways thought
too, that instead of the claimants for these
losses being sent to the National Govern
ment for re-imbursement, the State should
first indemnify them, and then, through
her representatives in Congress, demand
payment of the National Government. To
procure such action on the part of the State
.Legislature, it is of the highest importance
that its members should be convinced that
justice and equity 'are on the side of these
claimants, and to convince them of this
fact, constant agitation of the snbject is ab
solutely necessary :
1 can only say, in answer to the inquiry
in your letter, that if I shall be chosen at
the October election to represent Franklin
county in the next Assembly, while I shall
endeavor to pay due attention to the in
terests of all her people, it will afford me
great pleasure and I shall esteem: it my
first duty, to press, in every honorable way
for the payment of the Border Damage
Claims. , Yours truly
W. S. STENGER.
To Messrs. C. W. Rhodes, John, Goetz,
Gee. W. Garling, and others.
