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. There baa been but one
death in this vicinity, to my knowledge, du
ring the past two months, that being a child
of Mr. Riser, just across the river.
This M. E. 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John Brown's fish law is repealed.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. This society has just been
orgsnized, with nearly thirty members.
The officers are as follows : President, E. A.
Woods ; Vice President, John Thompson,
Jr.; Secretary, G. U. Kuuibach; Assist
ant Secretary, John Miller ; Treasurer, Dal
las Thompson ; Critic, Cioyd Thompson ;
Executive Committee, Amos Helser ; Teller,
Minnie Shuinan; Ballot Master, Brady Set'
iers. 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.

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

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

IMMORTALITY.
There is no death ! Tu-Ve stars go down '
To riS-j upon some f'fer shore ;
And bright in Ileaven's jeweled crown
Tlity shice furevermore.
There is no death ! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers.
To golden grain, or mellow fruit.
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize,
And feed the hungry ntoa they bear ;
Tbe forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death '. Art augel form
Walks o'er the exrh with solemn tread,
lie bears oiir best-!oved things away,
And Hitu we call them dead.
lie leaves our hearts all desolate ;
He plucks our fairest, sweetest Mowers:
Transplanted into Mi, they uow
Aduni immortal bowers.
Born into that undying life,
They leave Ui but to come again.
With joy we welcome them the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near lis, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread ;
For all the boundless universe
Is life there are no dead !
