More Direct Evidence.
It is the constant cry of New Berlin
an 1 of come others who take mere msscr-
fto j tion as truth, without investigating it
2,oo j that a Division of Uuion county would re
50
sult in imposing a burden upon each sec
tion of 820 to $50,000 for county buildings,
and that all would have to be paid by tax
ation that the annual costs of maintain
ing each County would bo as great as the
whole now is and that in case of divUioc
the people would in a few years be. more
clamorous to be set back, than they now
are to bo scparatqd.
Not a word of proof is ventured of any
of these assertions- no acts, proven by
the history of other Couuties. All North
ern and Central Pennsylvania once went
to Berks county for justice ; Northumber
land was cut off, and nobody but a few
a Heading suffered thereby, Columbia
and Uuion were struck off from Northum
berland county, and nobody but a small
minority in Sunbury wcro the losers.
Moutour was struck from Columbia, and
Taxes are not only now less, in each of
those counties, but many other advantages
are gained by the people.
Although it is not our duty in this
controversy to prow a nnjatut, yet we
have been at somo pains s to do. We
wrote copies of the follow in" intcrrogato-
ries, to gentlemen in the new counties
Wyoming, Carbon, Juniata, Montour,&c.,
and have received four replies, tico of
which we have already published, and the
other two will be found below. And wo
deem it proper to say, that we bad no pri
or knowledge of the views of the gentle
men addressed ; we gave no private opini
on, wish, or intimation, respecting the sub
ject matter ; and we give all the replies,
wiuiou nmiiiuiiou, auunion, alteration, or
f uppression- fcacu writer, as we believe,
gives his opinion as he would under oath ;
and we have every coufidenco in their in
tegrity and intelligence. We submit them,
a month in advance of the Election ; and
we ask every candid, honest, ncnsible
reader, if such wen are not much more

In perusing the following, the reader
will bear in mind that Montour and Juni-
at a together have not over three-fourths
the taxable property of Union, yet each
are glad of their independent existence,
and find it a great saving of money, as a
county and as individuals. Between Ju-j
niata and Mifflin counties, there is a!
mountain barrier similar to that of Jacks!
Mountain and Chestnut Ridgi, the pro-
posed boundary between Union and Suy-

INTERROGATORIES.
Lewisbvko, Aug. , 1851.
Dear Slit : Will you oblige mo by
answering, to the best of your knowledge,
the following inquiries :
1. What was the cost of your County
Buildings, when' first adapted to use!1
arc they sufficient for the wants of tbe
County ? and were they erected by taxa
tion ? -
2. Arc the taxes of county per
ceptibly higher, in proportion to the
property, than they were say ten years
previous to the division ?
3. Is there any general inclination to
have and counties re-united,
as they were before the Division f
4. Have or have not the general inte
rests of the people of tbo two counties
socially, morally, and pecuniarily been
benefited by the division ?
The substance of your replies I desire
for publication, with your permission.
Respectfully &o.
O. N. WoUDEN.
REPLIES.
, Juniata Co., Aug. 30, '54.
Dear Sir Some time siuoe, I received
a letter of inquiry from you, to which I
answer as follows :
1. The cost of Court Iloufe, Offices,
Jail, and Jail wall for this county, was
about 810,000. They were erected by
Taxation, entirely, Tbe Conrt Room is
not large, but answers our purpose very
well, and will do for time to come, if liti
gation docs not increase.
2. The Taxes of J uniata county were
increased about one-fourth, for three or
four years after the Division. The per
ccntngc on the assessment wag then reduced
to about what we had been paying before
Division, and for the last fifteen years the
per ecntago on the t.isessed property has
been lower than it was for tbe same period
before the Division.
3. There never bos been amongst us a
desire to be set back to or connected with
Mifflin county,
4. Tbo general interests of the people
of tbo counties or, at least, of Juniata
have as I think been promoted In every
way by Iho Division. Previously, we tad
about eight weeks of Court in Mifflin per
year. Parties with their witness" would
have to attend, Term after Term, often for
years, before they could get their suits
tried, and it was seldom that a cause could
be tried the year after it was entered. ; In
many cases, poor men or small capitalists,
rather than bear the cxponsc of going from
below the Narrows with their witncsjc-s
year after year, suffered losses and imposi
tions for Justice would have cost more
than it was worth in money. We in Ju
niata now have but three regular Terms of
Court a year, and one Orphans' Court, and
our Courts have not averaged more than
four days each Term, (four Terms a year,)
for the last fifteen years ; and it is stidoin
that a suit is on our docket, undisposed of,
one year, where the parties push them on
for trial, and the expenses to the litigants
are reduced one half. Before the Division,
we Lad but few County Bridges ; now we
can have them all through our county, and
pass over tbo creeks on county bridges
built by taxation.
We had about twenty years' struggling
for our separation before we accomplished
it ; the last ten years of that time, every
measure was resorted to in the election' of
our Legislative officers, by one portion to
get, and by the other to stop, Division.
These statements arc correct to the best
of my recollection and knowledge.
Truly yours, &c.
Mr. 0. N. Worden.
HThc fcrcgoing letter is from an
aged and highly respected citizen o! Juni
ata, who has hold several Offices in the
County, but who on account of personal
of, considerations desires us not to publish his
name. lue loiiowing is Irom tue bailor
of the Danville Democrat, who resided in
that town some years previous to as well
as since the division of old Columbia :
"D-ruoerat" Office,
Danville, Aug. 20
li, 1554. J
O.N.Worden,Eq. Dear Sir: In answer
to your inquiries relative to the division of
Columbia county, the cost of public build-
, expenses of sustaining a separate
county organization, Sc.. 1 will give you
all the information in my power.
The public buildings belonging to Cov
lumbia county, consisting of Court houso,
Jail, &o., at the time the scat of justice
j was removed from Danville to Bloorasbure,
.. . .
were sold, at public auction, and purchased
for the use of the Borough, at a very low
price, viz. about $1,750. These buildings,
upon the organisation of the county of
Montour, were repaired and fitted up, by
the Borough of Danville, at a cost of some
32,500, besides the original purchase mo
ney, and conveyed to the County, free of
any charge to the county. These buildings
are sufficient for tbe wants of our county
Tbo taxes of that portion of Columbia
county, now oomprLiug Montour, have
been less, since the organization, than the
.Terat?e rates for the ten ve.irs r,romJini.
that event. My own recollection is, that
j 4 1,
every year during the ten years preceding
the organizatjQ) of Montour county, tbe
county rates were higher than they have
been any one year in Montour county ,since
its creotion. I of course speak without
reference to the tax books, but am certain
that the county taxes have been less since
the separate organization, than the average
for the ten years preceding.
There is no desire on tho part of any
considerable portion of our people to be
rc-anncxed to Columbia county. On the
contrary, all are well satisfied with the
separation, and would resist re-annexation
with as much earnestness as they ever
fought against the removal of the scat of
justice. Some of the same person", who
from personal and political considerations
always favored the Bloomsburg interest
that interest in tho whole of old Columbia
being tbo predominant ono still, for the
same reasons, adhere to Bloomsburg ; but
the mass are not wilh thcra.
As to tbe fourth question, I can ouly
answer that the general interests of Mon
tour county have ccrtaiuly not been injured
by the division, and I do not believe that
the general interests of Columbia have
suffered any. Socially, the people of the
two counties have been benefited there is
certainly a better stato of feeling between
the two, now,than existed for years before.
Pecuniarily, as I said before, I think nei
ther has been injured Montour ccrtaiuly
boncfitcd. Morally, perhaps, the only effect
that can bo attributed directly to division
or the organization of the new county, is,
the moral influence whioh results from the
facility afforded for punishing small often
oes. The dread of the prison and the
Conrt may, and doubtless does, exert an
influence in tbe Borough of Danville, as
many of the smaller offences would go
unpunished, if the expense and trouble of
prosecution were much increased by dist
ance. Very resp'Iy, Yours &e.
Charles Cook.

It is plain to be seen, in the light cf
the Middleereek "mass" meeting, what
that Longstown debating school was got
up for. Thiuk of it four Longstown
speech-makers, escorted by thirty-eight of
a procession, inviting themselves over to
Middleereek, and trying, in strains of elo
quence, german and english, to convert
the only Division man in the township !

The Louisville Calamity.
The Louisville papers are filled with the

city presented a solemn spectacle from the

nil observaucd of the Mayor's proclama
tion, requesting the closing of the stores.
Tho First Presbyterian church, where
the funeral services of most of the deceas
ed were held, was densely crowded. The
bodies of the doad were placed upon a
platform in the tower, and the exercises
were conducted by several clergymen.
The spacious yard attached to the church
was alio crowded.
At tho opeuing of the exercisesthe Rev.
Dr. Morrison, who officiated at the ill fat
ed church, remarked, that on the Sabbath
that had proved so disastrous to life, be
was requested to preach, but it was not
generally known that there would be di
vine service, hence the small number that
were assembled there not being more
than 85 persons in tbe house any time on
Sunday. On next Sunday, it was expect
ed that the pastor recently invited would
be installed. ; During the sermon, which
had been commenced later than usual, the
storm came up, and the main door of the
basement room, where the meeting wa.,
blown open. An Elder of the church im
mediately rose and closed it. The door
was forocd open a scoond time, and again
closed. A third time the door was forced
open by violence of tbe wind notwithstand
ing the Elder was pressing against it st
the rime. " Instantly tbe wholo houso was
filled with pariiclcs of sand. The speaker
had bis eyes filled with the fine dm-t, as
well as his audience. .This caused some
disturbance in the assembly, and mosr, of
the. persons rose to their feet, some-jumping
ont of the windows near where tbey
were sitting.

greatly shocked at the suddenness of the

from the blindness caused by the ascend

Of the injured persons, only one, Mrs.

in a very precarious condition. Another

Animal and Vegetable Food.
At the recent annual Festival of the
American Vegetarian Ciuvcntion in
I'hiladoluhia, Mr. Chubb, of Wash-
ington, spoke of the relative cost of ,
nourishment obtained from vegetable and ''
animal food. The dearness of butchers' j
meat has become a cause of uuiversal com-
plaiDt among the people. The butchers!
of Philadelphia, I have understood, refus-j
ed to purchase oxen on account of high j
prices asked for them by those who traffic
in flesh and blood. It is true, the prices .
are sometimes affected by speculators, but
j .
it is a fact, which ought to be universally
known, that the flesh of animals -erer can
U produced at a clp rat. All manu -

Wood of an animal. The sense of liking
and disliking being entirely tbe result of
settled habit. Get settled in a new and
rational habit and you will get a new and
rational pleasure. "Fix on that oourse of
life whirl, is best," says Pythagoras, "and
custom will render it tho most delightful."
The speaker went on to tLow, tl.a'
more scarce and expensive would flesh
meat become. That a rise of one ceut
on a pound of corn must produce a rise of
at least five cents on a pound of flesh, and
of twenty cents on a pound of solid nutri
ment obtained from flesh. That whilst
solid, substantial, pure and wholesome
nutriment could be obtained from vege
table food for from two to eieht cents per
pound, tha nutriment derived from ani
mals, with all their liabilities to disease,
cost from fifty cents to one dollar per
ponnd four pounds of flesh being required
to produce one ponnd of nutriment. A
very important difference in relation r
domestic economy. " He said be was ac

who out of an annual income of $700 s
school teachers, were living in comfort and
respectability in tho country, and yet lay

all other expenses of living. This seemed
incrediblp, but be could , vouch for tbe
truth of the statement, as it was a friend
