attached to spring wagon, containing a
cooking stove, frightened perhaps by a
fancied scream from that expected "loco-
motive" started at full speed from the
west end of Market street towards the
river. In spite of uplifted hands and
frantic shouts they held their course
bravsly through all opposing obstacles,
and plunged into the open mouth of the
West Branch bridge, free of toll, keeping
carefully "to the right" and thinking,
probably that raj roads as well as witches

HThe last Times contains an "illicit''
assault upon the Northumberland Bank,
and opposes its rscharter. This Institution
is known all over the Union as one of the
safest and best managed banks in the
Commonwealth, and as it is confessedly
indispensable to the business interests and
necessities of this region of country, We
imagine its established character, and the
wants of the public, will readily secure its
recharter when applied for. Imaginary
private griefs, from dubious sources, will
not be able to disturb the settled public
convictions on this subject.

rA-We have been politely furnished
with the Second Annual Catalogue of the
Officers and Students of the University at
Lewisburg, for 1872. We learn by it
that there arc now Instructors in the
Institution. There are also enumerated
in the Collegiate classes, GA pupils 81 in
the English Department 4; Is in the
Female Academy and 20 in the Primary
School-in all, l59 pupils. The Summer
Session commences on the Sd Thursday in
May.
Here our notice would close, with our
best wishes for the Institution, its Teachers
and Students-but there are in the Cata-
logue, matters which demand attention.
The title page reads
Lewisburg, Union Co. Pa.
Printed for the University
That statement, as it stands, and as it Is
calculated to be understood, is not true. 1t
was no. printed in "Lewisburg.' 1t
is ueN printed, and whoever executed it is
entitled to the credit. As Lewisburg
printer we will not allow another office to
be despoiled of the .fame while we are
kept from the prcfts. 1t is neither true,
nor just, to either.
We deem it unfair to the public, also,
to present to them the illa of Building
only one-third Of which is erected, and
the remainder not even under contract
as the "University at Lewisburg.' A
picture of the edifce, with statement
that it is the plan adopted, or that there
Is to Je building of the size and form
twice exhibited i'll this Catalogue, would
not only be pleasing, but proper but
to be presented in manner that speaks
of it as veritable brick and -morter, ard
not paper edifce, is neither iudicious
nor honest. The same objection applies
to the picture of the Female Seminary on
the last page of the cover, Of which there
is not even Il Plan known to us.
There are also gross errors in names,
and despoiling of one Teacher and one
Officer of their well earned titles, which
we hope may be charitably accounted for
by the distance between the University
and the Printer*
This paper has too long shown its
friendship for the Institution, to require
us to disavow hostility to it 1t is because
we ardently desire its sound and real
prosperity, that we deprecate such clap
trap expedients to give it an appearance
which it has not An Institution with
such a good basis as this, can not in the
long run benefit itself by attempting to
speculate on "borrowed capital"

A-Lewisburg has never been provided
with larger stock or better assortment
Of goods than displayed by our merchants
this Spring Our readers in the surround
ing country are assured that a new leaf
has been turned over in this matter, and
the shelves of our splendid stores are sup
piled with larger and choicer variety of
goods at cheaper rates than can be found
elsewhere in the West Branch country
Our advertising columns show where the
best bargains can be made.
BARON Wednesday last, Capt. John
Wit, and George Heimbach Esq, two OF
the Commissioners of Union county, (Mr.
ilerrold being absent) subscribed two
Hundred Thousand Dollars to the stock
Of the Susquehanna Rail Road, from
Bridgeport Opposite Harrisburg) to Sun
bury and Williamsport. The Commissio-
ners are entitled to great credit for this
evidence of their independence and en-
lightened public spirit; and when the
mater comes to be properly understood,
their action in this matter will no doubt
meet the cordial APPRECIATION of all the
tax payers in the county. The Borough
authorities of Lewisburg, also subscribe
Fifty Thousand Dollars and theindividual
subscriptions among our citizens reach
tn further sum Of near Ten Thousand
u liars, which will doubtless be materially
increased in the next few weeks. Our
people are resolved to put their shoulder
to the wheel in earnest. We are of the
impression that if the people in the
country, and the neighboriug towns, come
NJ promptly and manfully to the work,
the entire subscriptions in Union county
will reach the requisite sum Of not less
than 100000.
