town, drawing the largest share Of their
support from the Bufialoe and Middlecreek
vallies directly, and from the same thro'
the county treasury indirectly. Of late,
however, many of the people Of those val
lies deem it advisable to support papers in
the range of their business interests res
pectivcly, and paper at Selinsgrove and
paper at Lewisburg now have much the
largest circulation of any in the county.
Some of the New Berlin papers have been
consolidated-some died very natural
death-two left the "salubrious atmos-
phere" for the "miasmatic fogs" Of the
Susquehanna and Mechanicsburg-and the
last religious press "shook off its dust
against place "justly celebrated for its
morality and intelligence" and departed
for Cleveland There are now but three
papers at New Berlin-enough, and which
should receive a good support while 1t
remains county seat.
| No reader can forget the demoraiizing
and abusive course formerly pursued by
the New Berlin press towards each other,
AID towards their fellow townsmen. And
none can but be gratifed with one effect
of the Division agitation-there is a stop
to the New Berlin stream of abuse upon
each other; they are all proper men and
good christians now they vote for each
Others candidates, hurrah at each others
meetings, puff each other gratitousiy, and
endorse each others characters generally.
Long may this Millennial aspect continue.
Unfortunately, however, the virus is not
eradicated, and the Billiusgate vocabulary
is still used, but in another direction. For
a time, Sclinsgrove and Lewisburg shared
the bombardmeut of the New Berlin bat
tery of hard words; but for few weeks,
the whole park of artillery has belched out
its missiles upon Lewlsburg alone. Cute
Illus, Wagenseler, Eyer, Snyder, are for
go.ten-all the wicked men now dwell in
Lewisburg; Penns, Chapman, Perry, Mid
dleburg, Hartley, Miffiinburg, White Deer,
the Buff,loes, &c, don't want Division
it's only Lewisburg that wants it, and Le-
wisburg wouldn't want it but for the brite
to 60 for Division in order to get rid Of the
Railroad.. Gt happens that the hardest
Anti Railroad districts are also the hardest
Anti division But this is over-much
honor. Lcw.sburg can not carry over
three-ffths Of the county, against all your
efforts in your central position with forty
years experience as disciphnarians, engi-
neers, and quartermasters.
Last week We gave a liberal specimen,
from a communication in the Star, of the
material relied upon to prejudice the pub
lie far and near against Lcwisburg-and
its savory compliments still linger upon
the palate of memory.-Thc Eolkestreuna
we understand echoes the Star in German.
And the last Times carries on the game
in the following style:
"The silly twaddle of our neighbor of
the Chronicle, in relation to the contem-
plated Seminary at this place, betrays an
illiberal and ungenerous spirit"
Now, what has the Chronicle said rela-
tive to the New Berlin Seminary? Why,
in the first place,it published the following
SILLY twaddle from the New Berlin Times:
Gratifying Intelligence.
"Our predictions IN relation 10 the future
enterprise and prosperity of New Berlin, are
already upon the point of redhzafiOn. The
