Printers UNroN--It is generally known
that there is to be National Convention of the
Craft in Philadelphia, within a few months, to
deliberate on the claims and interests of the
brotherhood, and devise some definite and eff
cient plan of organization and action for mutual
benefit. No more useful or influential class of
citizens exists in this country, and none whose
rights and interests should be more carefully
protected, and the movement referred to will
doubtless result in something more practicable
and feasible than anything heretofore devised by
the numerous typographical societies already in
existence Notices of meetings to appoint del
egates to the Convention are already appearing
in many of the papers throughout the country,
and it seems to us that something similar should
be done soon in Detroit. Free Press.

Mr.. EDITOR: l have been fur some time
aware that early in the present session
bill was introduced into one branch Of
our Legislature, the object and aim Of
which is to prevent by pains and penalties
the entrance or einigrai,n # people Of
colors into this state. When l first heard
Of .his bill, ! hardly thousht it would be
necessary to remonstrate against its pas
sage. l did think it would be quite safe to
leave such a measure to sink by the weight Of
its own atrocity. But to my surprise, have
seen printed copy Of a petition, and with
some signatures attached to it too, pray
ing for the passage for this very bill.
must conclude that my fellow citizens have
signed this petition without due reflection,
or without . knowledge Of the proposed
euaetmeut.
DO you wish, my friends, to see your
Legislators inflic; gratuitous, wanton, USE

have already been crushed by oppression
iuto the very dust? If poor colored
laborer, or barber, mechanic, resident in
Mary land should see how he could better

vanis farm, or u Pennsylvania village, or
Pennsylvania forge, would you punish
him for TIN. konest attempt to get bis daily

Influence Of Railroads upon the Value
Of Property.


We copy from the Cleveland Herall the
following, III regard to the influence Of
railroads in increasing the value Of property:
1t is astonishing the change that rail
roads have made in our city. There are
lots in Cleveland valued by the Assessor
in 1916, for less than 500, (and it was
thought that they were valued too high,)
that can not nov be bought foo 81 900.
There are tvo or three tell acre lots in the
vicinity of the Depot of the machine shops
Of the Cleveland and Pittshurg railroad
that were offered At some $1,000 within
the last six years that can not now be
bought for less than $1,000 per acre.
Since Alfred Kelley took out the 6rst
wheelbarvowful Of earth from the track Of
the Cleveland and Columbu. railroad in
ls47, the value Of the real estate has been
doubled, and am decidedly Of the opinion
that if the entire real property of the noc
city Was to be sold at public auction, it
would sell for more than treble the amount
it would have sold for in lS47, and yet
We have only juss begun to feel the bene-
6ss Of our railroads. Cleveland started
late in the railroad enterprise, but that
start WAS strong one. Our city has
$500, 900 invested in railroads, and in
railroads and plank roads our citizens hare
at least $4,000 more, making total Of
81 100000. Leonard Case, Esq, has
some 100000 Of railroad stock, and with
all his far sighted sagaeiry, be has never
mad. IN investment tha, will pay him
better Let me illustrate. His ten-acre
lots on the nor,heasterly part Of the city,
numbering 800 acres or more, were as
sessed, think in lS46, at some $40 900,
aud he offered to sell the lots for 20 Per
cent less than Assessors value Some
s. 900 or IS, 900 were deducted from tie
assessment. l presume that the ;en-acre
lots could not be bought at an average of
less than 500 per acre. On Euclid street,
lots that were worth from 500 to $3.50,
SIX or seven years ago, aEe now held at
figures varying from 81 900 to 81 300 per
acre.

Fire at following Run.

We regret to learn that the store, and
house occupied by Wm. Hoover, at Uo!-
lowing Run, about six m les below Sun
bury, was entirely CONSUMED by FIRE, or
Wednesday night last, about one o'clock.
Mr.. Hoover had come dosn stairs be-
fore retiring A",! observing the back COR
open, thought his clerk had probably gone
out. lie returned md went 10 bed, and
not hearing him come, upon inquiry fund
that his clerk was in bed, and that the
door had been locked. After lying awake
some time, he concluded going down again.
to close the door, when he heard the roar
of fire in the store below One of his
neighbors came running with bucket Of
water, but on going to the well for more
they found the rope had been cut and the
bucket in the we'll, and before they could
get water from the mill race, the FIRE got
under such headway, as to render their
efforts unavailable. The whole building,
together with all his furniture, excepting
a little bedding, &c, was entirely destroyed.
In the store there was nothing saved except
his books, and We regret to say 5000 in
money which he had placed in book, was
eitl er destroyed or stolen. From the cir.
eumstances, and the fact that the well
rope haG been cut, it is fair to presume
that some person had entered the store,
taken the money, and then fred the build
ing to prevent discovery. The building
was owned by Henry Masser, ESQ, of Sun
bury The roofs of Mr. Masser's mill and
the miller's house close ey, we're also on
Gre, but were saved by the efforts of tie
miller, Mr. Hoover, and some Of the
neighbors. Mr. Masser is but partially
