WIL:LIANSPORT LETTER , . - W4I,IAU SPORT,March 2:3, t s-0 . The - growth of Williamsport in the past has been unprecedented in the his-, tory of any of the inland cities Of Penn sylvania ;--and it has been owing chiefly to the enterprise and business tact. of a few individuals, who, notwithstanding the croakings of t leir fellow towns men, have determin d to make this a city worthy of its" - 0 )sition as a railroad center of the Northern ier, To say that they have met with oppo sition, is to use a mil expression to, characterize the bitter hatred and 'ma lignity which have marked I heir . deal: lugs with those persohs to, whorl), 'they owe most of their wealth, which they hoard up instead of using it for the im provement of their native city. They constantly croak over the-burden of in creased taxation ; forgetting that for ev ery extra dollar of tax they pay, their property has increased three in valtie. They mourn over the Nicholson pave ment and the public buildings, wishing to return to the regimb of mud and shabbiness. , Not content with no do ing anything • themselves, they have placed every obstacle in the way of these who wish to make iinprovemehts; thus retarding much which might have. been _accomplished, that would have added to,the permanent growthcbr our city. Theateel works which are loca ted at Tiarrisburg, might have been-se cured to 'Williamsport, could the old fo gies who possess the money have been induced to second the efforts put forth by a few liberal minded men ; and the advanthges _which would have been de rived from the presence of such a man ufactory; would have amply repaid the expenditure, of the necessary sum of money tb secure its location here. Ma ny more examples might be mentioned, where lasting improvements have been lost for want of the necessary encour agement; and other towns, which do not possess oneVhalf the advantages of rail road communication, are . allowed to carry off the coveted prize. Eastern Capitalists are now seeking a place for the location of a boot and shoe manufacturing, establishment some where in the northern portion of. the State, and I , preiume Williamsport will lose the benefit of this improvement, through the lack of co-operation of her wealthy men, who think 'Williamsport to-day is good enough for them to-mor row. The bill granting aid to the Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo railroad, has passed the Legislature, and our cit izens areuch elated with the prospect of its speedy construction. The advan tages of this road to' the . northern tier of counties, cannot be properly estima ted at the present time. It will aid in developing one of the finest coal and iron regions of the State; it will furnish a direct route for the transportation of grain from Butlido to Philadelphia and the anthracite coal regions of the State. The counties of Luzerne and Schuyl kill will need a vast amount of the hem lock timber which now covers the hills of Potter and Tioga, for mining- purpo ses, and the Only way they can obtain It is over this new route ; aim compre hending its necessity, they are nobly seconding the efforts of its friends to aid in its sonstruction. There is a movement being made to form a company for the manufacture of piano fortes, with a general sales room in New York.' Fifty thousand dollars has been already subscribed for the en terprise, and it bids fair to be a success. All the raw materials which enter into the construction of .pianos can be ob tained much cheaper here than else where, and I see. no reason why they should be transpOrted to eastern cities to be manufactured, H. LETTER FROM . WISCONSIN rLAINFIELD, Waushara CO., Wisconsin, March 2d, '7O. f Nearly or quite two-thirds 'of the in habitants of this town were formeryea 'dents of Tioga county. . Every day or so, I make the acquaintance of some; one who came from Tioga. Right in: the village are—Sheardown, (Druggist and P. M.) J. B. Mitchell, (pierchant) Dr. Joslin, Michael Rozell, Jacob John ston, Ira Baker, mid Rev. Milton Ches ter.' One-half mile east is H. C. Bor den ; one hundred vide east of the vil lage, B. B. Borden; in the third house from him, east, lives Benoni Bentley's widow, (now Mrs. Youngman). The next is B. B. French ; the next Jesse BentleY's widow, (Mrs, Dwire). The next is. Samuel Bentley. By the way, he and I were school boys together, up at Lawrence's school house,. in Rut land.. Those were my very first schOol days; and how well do I remember theni I The guide board said, ," Eight miles to Tioga," " Four to Mansfield," and " Three to Roseville"—Roseville, 'Where every other man you met was in toxicated.: (I hope it is not thus these ltrer years.) Royal Rose kept store, a d sold " Rose-water" ; while just roes the way, Peter Backer " kept tavern", and supplied the traveling public' (and the stationary also) with "Backe juice." But , this was long ago—twenty-three years—and Royal and Peter have gone to their long home, theVe to give an account of their, stew ardship, and receive their reward,lwhat ever it may be. But I have wandered from my subject. Horton Stearns, John Pruisman, J no. Job, 'Samuel Westbrook, Bethuel Bent ley, C. Johnston, E. A. Johnston, Ed. Benton, and a host of others that I do not now call to mind, all good citizens, but n o t all good farmers, arllt in this Sec tion. Land is very poorly tilled here. If, the farmers here would put the labor on their farms that some. do in Tioga county, they would get the largestki nd of returns. The soil is a black or dark sand, and needs no draining. A good coat of manure will show for ten years. The county is being settled quite rap idly. %here were 1000 acres broke in this township last season. There are two things I have almost forgotten since I came here—cars and mudholes. - There are fair prospects of seeing the fornier soon, but the latter , never. There hes been a bill passed recently at Madison for a railroad running from Columbus ,to Stevens's Point, through this place. If I am .informed correctly, it is to be built by the Pennsylvania Central. And now, in closing, I would say to all those who me to coming west from old Tioga this on, " Call and examine? before buying elsewhete." Tx'ply yours, - WAUSHARA. HOW TO KILL LICE ON CATTLE.—jI correspondent of the Country Gentle man, says " Dissolved about a pint of strong soft soap in a pail of witrm, soil water, and saturated the whole surface of a lousy cow's bodywith it; after about thirty pinutee, repeated the operation, and in thirty minutes longer took' a pail of clean warm vaster and quickly and thoro'billy washed out all the soap water, and dead lice in large quantities-, put her in a warm stable and covered her with a dry blanket.ll The next slay aft er being thoroughly dried, she looked, and, seemed to feel, like anew animal; more than doubled her quantity- of milk within twenty-four hours, and immedi ately commenced gaining fifth and thriftiness."
