ted on Tuesday morning; slept the next
night in the cars in snow-bank but got
through at last. The storm of that day
was widespread interrupting TeIegraphic
concentrations, aud preventing HAL con-
nections in numerous instances.

No trains from Eas.on have made their
appearance here yet. The first train on
tue New jersey road arrived from New

n@.The Star thinks We might have
aided our Democratic neighbors in their
dissensions on Tuesday last, BY little
information on matters pertaining to the
regulation Of conventions, &c. If We are
rightly informed, however, two other gen.
tiemen from Lewisburg were present, who
were well enough posted up on that occa-
sion to frustrate the whole plot matured by
the New Berlin Democratic Junto-Major
Cummings included.
-By-the-way, we are told somc anus
ing incidents respecting the management
of the New Berlin Wing meeting On Tues
day week. They secured DR.. Eystsr for
President, aud Esq. Van Gezcr for chief
speaker-two "moder' Wings who, if We
recollect rightly the "Star' when conduc-
ted by Esq. Woods in person, "pLEpGED"
themselves to the Democrats that they
would oppose Wing nominations. Thus
managed, our "illustrious" successor, Mr..
Pennington, nominated Esq. Woods for
Delegate. Judge Marshall, however, in a
speech of much power, and in the best
possible spirit, deplored the division in the
party, denied that Mr.Woods could satisfy
the party, charged upon him that he had
written to Juniata county in q spirit hos.
tile to Judge Pollock, and urged that some
one be substituted who both sections Of
the party could unite upon. lie proposed
Mr.. Wilson of Hartley. DR.. Eyster asked
Mr.. Pennington if he accepted the substi-
tute? "No." "Theu it's out of ORDER y
said the Doctor, and he "put Woods
through" and declared him nominated,
although evidently not the choice Of half
the Wings present!
