JOHN BRIssIS.


By tho proceedings of the Democratic c
conference which We publish to-day, it will
be seen that John Brisbin of Wyoming is
the Democratic candidate for Congress 10,
the short term.
The nominee is man of energy and in.
selligence, who has won his way to res
peciable position in society by an indusri-
Gus and honorable department. He is self.
aAdo man, prominent member of the Wy.
oming bar and gentleman Of fair intelli.
gence aud good private character.
And then he is a true Democrat, under
standing fully the political questions of the
day, and devoted to the success cf his po .
litical faith. Though Columbia county had
ciairns ior tnrs HonIrnarfon, aua trad -.s~.--a
q candidate whose nomination it would have
splessel us to record yet Wyoming too has
served faithfully in The good cause, and pies
ents an unexceptionabie candidate. The
conferees have made selection, and now
we saytO every good Democrat-go and
-sppporiihe nomination. Let there be a
good vote, and the district will be redeemed.
Be out 10 the work on ne xt Tuesday.

The Senator Question.

The several unprompted communications
in favor of Judge Woodward for U. S. sena.
tor, which we have already published, are
followed below by two of similar charac.
ter, which come 10 us from different direc-
tions, and are conceived in the proper spir.
it. They are timely and indicate the gene.
raj feeling upon the snbject in Northern
Pennsylvania.
Since the time when his intellectual ,ri-
umphs at the bar AID in the Reform Conven-
ton first attracted public attention, the re-
putasion of Judge Woodward has gone on
strengthening and deepening with the peo-

rank of the public men of the State, and

of the people.
His election would be a source OF deep
qualification to thousands in the North, who
kno,D him and can therefore rightly appreci
ate his admirable fitness for the highesl leg.
islative post in the government.
But the Judge is not presented as Sec
tional candidate alone, however strong may
be the considerations ip that connection.
We believe that apart from all questions of
justice and proprie,y whelher personal or
local, his selection is the most judieious act
that can De uone. n Tvtaoury Puse mossfrea.

Fire

Our citizens, very generally, were aroused
from their slumbers about three O'Clock, on
Saturday morning last, by the ringing OF bells
and alarm of fire, occasioned by the burnin 9
of the car-house and office attached, at the
termination of the railroad. The fire ap.
pears 10 have originated in passenger car
inside of the building, and is said TO have
been kindled by parcel of drunken vag-
rants, with ruthless carelessness of conse-
quences which is seldom equalled, in any
place, and never before exhibited in this.
By the time sufficient number of citizens
were collected 10 use the fire apparatus eff
ciently, the whole building was completely
enveloped in flames, and no effort was
made to check their progress, the night being
remarkably still, and the car-house luckily
standing in such an isolated position as no.
TO endanger the houses arouud 1t. Two cars,
and valuable papers in The office, were burn.
ed, and the total loss is estimated at from
$500 to 1000.
Several individuals have been arrested,
charged with being concerned in the firing
Of the building, and bound over to appear
at the next Court. We hope this matter
may be ferretted to the very bottom and the
guilty exposed; the public security demands
such acourse of action:-Lycoming Gazette.

WANTS OF THE COUNTRY.

The people Of the country desire that more
attention should be given by Congress TO the
cheap and general diffusion. of knowledge.
If there is surplus money helreasury Of
government let il be spehl establishing
post Offices and mail routes He are oppo-
sed plundering the treasury pretending to
build railroads and clear out ers merely 10
give fat jobs to political favor;o& Even in
this neigaborhood we have many wants
which are more certainly within the rrov-
ince of good yet simple republican gov
eminent. We need daily mail route from
Potsville 10 Towanda passing through this
place. We need too tri-weekly mail from
here to S!uncy, and we hope to see some at
tention given 10 this subject by the Congress
man from this District. 1t is seldom that
this region of country asks favors from gov.
eminent, and never aiything unreasonable
We ask no appropriations for railroads where
never man travelled, and we beg no plunder
for building stone piles on some rocky coast
10 be miscalled lighthouses. But we do
ask cheap and general intelligence for the
people--cheap postage and necessary mail
routes.
Upon the latter want the Muney Ltminary
has the following article:
at seems to US clear that the public inter-
ests and the public convenience demand
that, at least tr.weekly mail should be car.
ried hetween This Borough and Bloomsb urg
and Tor the convenience of travellers the
mail should be conveyed by two horse coach
es. Bloom-burg is now the seat of Justice
OF Columbia CO., and while we know that
the :ravei to that place from the West Branch
mas considerably increased in the last two
years. it is reasonable to suppose it must
continue to increase. Whenever town be.
comes county seat, it is evident, it mus:
draw 10 il business and business men from
all sections; ant that much Inconvenience
has been experienced by there being no
stage line from this point on the West Branch
to Bloomsburg, will not admit of doubt
We ourselves have frequently felt the incon-
venence, and have often met with others
hunting up private conveyance (at more than
double the cost of stage fare) in order to get
on, or else they would be obliged TO wait
and go BY the Danville route. A tri.weekly
mail, we think, is, also, due the citizens gen.
orally along the route, but particularly the
villages of Fruitstown and Jerseytown. Those
places and the people inhabiling that dis
trict of country in Columbia and Mon,our
counties, through which the road passes, are
certainly deserving of and entitled to more
than weekly mail"

DEAIH OF SAMUEL S. WILsoN.-Tt is with
sincere regret that we have to announce the
death of our esteemed friend, Samuel S.
Wilson, who died, on board the Steamship
"Northerner," on the l7th of last Nov. on
her trip from San Francisco to Panama. The
cause of his death, as appears by letter re-
ceived by his friends in this borough, was
fever and ague. He had chill in the eve-
ming of the i6th, and on going TO bed ap.
peared to have taken large dose of quinine,
which he had with him, and with which he
stated he would break the fever On the
following morning he was found in dying
condition by the surgeon of the vessel, and
shortly afterwards expired. Sincerely do
we sympathise with his bereaved and aged
parents, who were anxiously looking for his
return from California after an absence of
about two yeais.--DanuiRe Dsmoerat.
