Little Squib, is the title of a very neat amateaur sheet printed at Wellshoro, Pa., "by H. A. and M. R. SIMPSON, for their own amusement. Monthly—perhaps." . The only copy we have seen gives e\ idence of literary talent on the part of the youthful editors, while the typographical appearance is fault less. Our boy TOMMY read that a man at Marion, ind., chose a seat in the crotch of a tree, sixty feet from the ground, as the place to commit suicide bv shooting, and exclaimed: 44 Bedad, that was a foine iday. He rood shoot himself to detli wid the pistol, an' thin kill himself by falliu' from the three. Shu re, an' itz a brallyunt brane that mon had." An Item in the Elmira Advertiser describ ing a musical concert at Waverlv, compli ments Prof. YOUNG, formerly of Rome. The correspondent says: "Prof. YOUNG, of Owe go, demonstrated his ability as a soloist in the piece from THOMAS, "Voire of the Mountain Land." He has rendered the M. K. Church efficient aid in the preparation of ibis charm ing homo entertainment, and has thus con tributed much to the success which lias so fully justified the choir in undertaking so del icate a task." A correspondtnt. writing from Troy to the Elmira Advertiser, refers to the result of the late election: "Tuesday was rather an exciting day. The office of Justice was contested for with re markable strife. Cap. B. It. Mitchell and Fred Hofiinan were the successful candidates. Capt. Mitchell is a man of unblemished repu tation, and lias an untarnished record, both as a soldier and private citizen. Fred Hoff man is well known as the son of Win.

Miss AIM U II AM BERLIN is temporarily supply ing her sister's place in the Graded School. Sli" uijoys tli • reputation of being one of the best teachers in the county. Mr. HUMNEY. of Mansfield, who recently visited Barclay on a temperance mission. 1 furnishes this interesting discription of tin; collcries to the Ind" 'trial Hey isle r, of | Blossburg: The mining towns of Bradford eoun' v are ! situald on a mountain top, and in dose prox imity to each other, and like those of Tioga, are surrounded by forests. Carbon Run is situated about two miles from Barclay, and is a lively place, though not as large a> Barclay. The dwellings are large and in close proximity to each oilier, some of tlieni being occupied by as many as lour lilniilies. The village lias one church, which is a tasty edifice, and is owned by the Kavngeiieal Asso ciation. It also lias two school houses. One day when coining from Carbon Bun to Barclay. 1 came around on the rail road on foot.su as to see the country. The railroad between these places passes around the brow of the mountain; below i! lies a narrow val ley through which the Sell ran lev creek mean ders, and away below, one looks down upon the tops of stately fonv-l lives, whiu; beyond mountains lift their heads, the entire range that can In- seen being an unbroken wilder ness, presenting a wild scene ind" sal. Barclay is, the principal mining town in Bradford county. and i- the central point for mining op" rations. Sand Kim lies but a short distance off, and i> virtually a part of Barclay, all being under the control of one company, and being connected I>\ a side-walk. II is howeve 4 . 4 , spoken of local Iy by its owndl ■ i met' name. Barclay is connected wiili ToiVaa.da by rail. From the valley below lie- ears ascend the mountain by an inclined plane, a little over luilf-a-niilc in length, and from the head of the plane they run directly to the -chutes, where they are tilled with ihe black diamonds. I had the pleasure of \\ Guessing | some ears pass over the plane. A large, wire ! cable passes around a drum at the head of the : plane, which is attached to loaded ears at the head of the plane, and empty ones at the foot, the empty ones pa-sing up, steadying the i loaded ones as tin .v pass down. The speed of the cars is controlled by a wheel braki at tin' head of tin 4 plane, manipulated hv a man. Three loaded cars and the same number of i empty ones pass over the plane at u time. I There are no passenger ears run between Barclay and Carbon Run. but a hack runs be tween the places and carries the mail. All of the freight to and from the Barclay region ■ passes over the above mentioned plane. Barclay ha- two churches, owned r <p e tivel v by the Presbyterians and Roman Cutho \li •.' It iis a wide-iiwuke town, and, so far as I saw, its citizens appeared to Ic an orderly j and peace-loving people. The works at both Burelay and Carbon Bun yvcre running briskly. 1 took a walk one : day out to Fall Crock, which is an abandoned mining town, situate about a mile from Bar clay . There are, however, a very few families | still residing there. The toyvn presents a deso | late aspect. It wa- reported that another coal mine would IK opened the coming season, by a different company. on the mountain but a few mii> s from Barclay, which, of course, will nee. -sitate the building of another town and ' a railroad thereto. The business outlook for ' the coming season, in the Barclay coal region is cheering indeed. The next Universalist sociable will he held at O. H. ALLEN'S on Monday evening next. Evervhody is invited. FOUND, on Main street, this afternoon, by , u typo in this office, a lady's shawl. The owner can have it by calling for it. One of 001. OVEKTON'S constituents having written him that his course on a pension bill might result in losing him votes, the Colonel, after discussing the question at some length, I concludes in this manly and fearless language: "1 shall do what I consider best for the ; pensioners and those whose names should ap pear on the pension rolls, though some of , them should differ with me, for 1 am i sure I favor no measure which they will not lind on a fair trial has not been for their | interest. While there is no class of citizens , whose approval 1 more desire, yet the fear of I losing votes (which you suggest 1 will do) will not deter me from advocating any meas ure which is for the interest of our desrving : soldiers, and meets my approval. In the 1 matters upon which I haven't decided con victions, or upon which 1 hesitate, their 1 wishes and opinions will control me." The Colonel says many moriterious cases, under present regulations of the pension i office are neglected, or postponed for years, while unscrupulous applicants secure speedy ! action. We have heard of a man m this county who claims that he has inlluence which enables him to secure pension allow ances, and uses the name of Senator WALLACE 1 as the "power" employed in accomplishing his success. We find the following item in regard to a former resident of this place in the Klinira Adoertiier of this morning. Mr. C.'s friends lie re will regret to hear the bad report, and we hope it may prove untrue: "(corge c. Coon, formerly with Skinner £ ' Goodhue, of this city, hut more rec< ntlv with ! a nursery firm in Geneva, was arrested in yesterday, by Chief Knupp. on the charge i of forgery. Before entering upon his duties I as agent for tie- last iutm'-d firm, lie was re- | quir <1 to give a bond for the proper perform- i ance of his duties and the safe-keeping of any ! money which might come into hi> possession. : In order to do this, he forged the name of 1 William Ustrick. ot Klmira. now deceased, | and of A. I). Blair. a> Notary Public. lie j took . or professed to tak" many orders in ' i'cnnsylvuniu, and representing himself to be hunt up. the firm advanced him his percent age. All these orders proved to be fictitious, and further inquiry led to the discovery that his bond was a forgery. Coon is about 4<i years old. and lias several children. His wife died some years ago. lb was lodged in jail. His reputation lias not been good for some time. IUJSIN RSS LOCALS.
