Mr. Editor : Please allow me a small space in your paper, as 1 have been a eon atant reader of the Sestiskx axd Repvbu Cax for a number of years, and don't think I ever noticed an article iu it from this place. It is not because some of your pa trons are not competent to furnish articles, but it is pure neglect on their part. Dull winter, in the great wheel of time, is fast drawing to aa end for tbia season, and the gloom that always accompanies the the winter season is beginning to disappear, and causes us to look forward with pleasure for the time when we can leave the stove, and enter once more upon the field of labor, to nuke preparations fur the storms of an otbnr winter, should Providence allow ns the life priiilrge. Our town has passed through the trials of another election, and comes forth with a new head Chief Burgess, we mean Mr. J. W. Plett beiug the lucky one. We hope he may be instrumental in making improve ment, as a glance at our streets will con vince any person that they need improve ment. Some of our citizens have been kiud to the poor wanderer iu darkness, and hae provided street lamps, for which we feel thankful. Give us more good things, gentlemen. Hauling cross-ties has been all the go through this place fur some time past. We notice a great many scattered along the public road between town and the railroad, awaitiig inspection. Sickness in our neighborhood of any kind is scarce.

Church has just closed a pro tracted meeting, and as a result of the meeting, has taken nineteen persons into the church as probationers. The Lutheran Church in this place has held a series of meetings thit resulted in great good. The roads have become dry since the late heavy rains, making travel easy. The river has recently been in a good condition for sucker fishing, and a great many of the finny tribe have been brought to grief by being in too great haste to devour the inno cent worm. We intend to try as soon as John Brown's fish law is repealed. A great many familiea in this place will change their place of residenc: this spring, and moving time is fast approaching. The young men meanwhile will have to watch their sweeties, or may be when they seek them, somebody else will answer their call, and thereby cause confusion. Better ask her if they are gving to move. We were down at the Lock School House on last Thursday night, that being the uiht the Star Literary Society meets in that school house.

We believe that this society will com pare favorably with sny other Literary So ciety in the county, taking sge into consid eration. Each member, when called on, re sponded ; there was no hanging back. The society is composed of go-ahead material. Three new members Len. Thompson and sister and Park Murdorn" joined on the night wo visited them. We wish the So ciety success. May they live and learn to always think before they speak, to prevent exposure. Their farmers aronnd here are in good spirits. Their w heat fields look well, and the prospect for an early spring gives them pleasant feelings. tKSOX. Neighboring News. MIFITJ5 COITSTT, AS PKB LEWISTOWX PATERS. An alarm of fire was raised on Monday night, Feb. 25, a little after eleven o'clock, caused by the burning of a barn on the plar-e adjoining the borough of Lewiwtown on the east, ovvned by John W. Shaw, Esq., and tenanted by E. C. Hamilton. The barn was one of the old substantial ones, built of logs and weatherboard ed, with wagon-shed and corn-crib attached, all of which were a mass of ruins in less than half an hour. The horses, spring wagon, buggy and some other articles were got out, but three cows and a heifer, three shouts, a sow with pigs, "wagon and hay lad ders, about a ton of hay, some oats, harrow, plows, cultivators, horse gcars, cutting machine, &&, the prop erty of the tenant were consumed, and a good peddling wagon, the prop erty of one of the Pratts. There is an insurance of $700 on the building in the Fanners' Mutual of Danville. It is not known how the fire origina ted. There was a ball or party at the house at the time, and it is possible some one stabling stock may have dropped a match or thrown aside a cigar. It caught in the straw over the cow stable. A bull, KugLt of Mr. Harshber ger, in Bratton townr'hip, treed the drover that bought the animal. A party came to the rescue, but was put out of fighting condition by bring tossed into a field, and thence leat a hasty retreat. The bull held the sit uation till tired, and then walked away. 1 The Star Club gave a masquerade entertainment at the house of D. C. Watts, in Lewistown.

Thb Huntingdon JVonilor says : At a late hour on Thursday night, Feb.

Sheosley was thrown from his horse and fell upon a stone which crushed his skulL The night was in tensely dark, and it was with some difficulty that his competitions suc ceeded in finding him. He was con veyed to his home, where he remain ed in an insensible condition until death ensued, some time during the following day. Young Sheasley was aged about 17 years, and his sudden and sad death has oast a gloom over the community in which he resided. Another forger was arrested in Huntingdon, by Chief Westbrook, on Friday lasfe Thomas Swiler, of Mill Creek, on that day gave Mr. Adam Smearmund a check for $10 on the Union Bank of Huntingdon. The check bore the name of Mr. Metcalf, of Mill Creek, ahd upon presentation at the Bank by Mr. Smearmund, it was pronounced a forgery. Adam went for Swiler instanter, and made him fork over the money he had paid him on the check, and then Swiler was immediately arrested and lodged in jaiL The immortal " J.

It is now equalized and all on the people each alike. Wnen truth fully triumphs 'J. X.' will pay his friend a social visit at his pleasant home and lift the veil in that little town. All for truth, which is 'J. X. V idoL" Oleomargarine, or Gutter from the Fat of Beeves. The i'Liladul phia Record says: Nearly &!,OUU,000 are invested ir: this eouutry alone in the making of a sort of butter fioin the fat of beeves. It is sold undei tbe name of oleotuargsrioe. Iu Europe its manufacture and consumption are much greater than in America. Tbe French use it in their hospital?, and the Parisian authorities impose tbe same duties on it as ou ordinary butter It is sold in the principal cities of France, Lnglaod, Scotland, Uertnany, Austria aud Kussia. There are three manufactories id this country one in in New York city and the others in Baltimore aud Philadelphia. Con spicuous eleouiargsriue sigus are dis played over tbe doors of more than a score of stores in New York and en virons, snd cearly eight hundred pouuds were retailed from store at 623 Eight avenue on Saturday last. This shows that tbe butter is rapidly increasing in sale and favor among tbe poor and in dustrial classes. Oleomargarine can be made only from the purest fat of tbe beef. The process was discovered by M. Mege, a Frenchman. He accepted a Government commission to investi gate, experiment and report, with the view of obtaining, for the use of the navy and poorer classes, something to take tbe place of ordinary butter, to be sold fur much less, and to be kept in any climate without becoming rancid. M. Mege began bis investigations ou a farm near Versailles, Through chem ical analysis and numerous experiments be says be found that tbe batter in cow's milk came direct from tbe fat of the animal. ' lie found that tbe fatty globules were carried into the circula tion, and deprived of stearine by re ap it or j combustion Tbe oil ws then seat to the ndder, where under tbe in fluence - of - mammaty pepsin it - was changed into butter. Guided by these observations he took cow's fat or beefs suet, and began to copy the operations of nature. . By a e-mple process he fused tbe fat at nearly tbe same tem perature as butter, separated tbe stear ins from tbe oil, and churned tbe oil into bntter or oleomargarine. . Old Father Bratsk, of Syracuse, was a very popular camp-meeting leader, lie used to tell in the meeting the following story: While conducting a camp-meeting in western New York, a messenger arrived at the camp to inform him that the wife of the chief deacon had died that morning. Fa ther Brayne delegated his powers to another and started home to comfort the bereaved widower. ; After a twenty mile ride ha reached the farm house, where the deacon lived, about four in the afternoon. ' On entering, he shook the widower by the band and sat down iu silence. By and by he began to condole w it h the bereaved man, and offered him all the consolation in his power. It's a very heavy grief you have to bear," said the minister, "you must bear up like man." . "Tea," the deacon responded, " it's kind o' rough. Let's take a walk around." Father Brayne, thinking that the widower felt ill and depressed, and that tbe fresh air would do him good, readily assented. The deacon led biin to his barns and stables, and showed bim over his farm. Tbe psrson appeared to take great interest in every thing, rejoiced to think that be was helping to divert the deacon's mind from his great sorrow. After they had gone around the farm, the deacon said : " Now, minister, ye see everything's in fine order. What would you advise me to do bring my daughter and her husband here to manage the place, or go hunting about among the girls again lot another wife V MARRIED: KAUFFMAX HARD T Feb. 28th, at the residence oi Samuel Augbey, Esq., by Rev.
