Mr. EDITOR Now. that the excitement
Of the Election has died away, and feel a
little more at leisure it occurs to me | might
drop you line occasionally if accepable)
about matters and things in this section.
Port is driving along in its usual go-ahcad
style in business matters. Our citizens are
closing up the operations of the past season,
expecting every day Old Boreas to send forth
his chilling blasts upon the bosom of our
beautiful Snsquchanna cntombing it in n
mantle Of ice. thus to remain until the bnlmy
zcphyrs of Spring fresh from Apollo's fiery
chariot shall dissolve it's crystal &C vcring. and
once more unlock its portals to the gallant
barquc. the rushing Steamer and the myriads
ofarks and RATS on their annual visits.
I'm the mean time we shall not be idle Let
old Bnrcas blow his blasts, and send his frosts
he cannot chill out the fire of energy and per-
scrvancc that has been infused into our cit-
zens in battling for n series of years against
opposing difficulties. No. Sir! No adverse
circumstances or impending dangers can for
moment check our onward march.
Already hear of new schemes preparing
for the Spring and Summer campaign. First
comes a proposition from our old opponents
of the Phil. vii. & Bait. II. r. Co., for the
right of way through our town prepare tory
to locating and erecting the long talked of
bridge at this place and right on the heels
of it comes one from the Central r. Road
soliciting aid and comfort to enable them to
run their proposed Road from the mouth of
tprar In M tov. nal. tI.,r
terminus by the bye you will recollect that
last Spring predicted such would be the
| reSult.)
The only thing now which botlters us is
we are afraid we shall have too much of a
good thing and become sur e.tcd and of course
degenerate.
The question comes up what shall we do!
Shall we take one by the hand and let the
| other 60: or shall we give each helping
hand! For my partI believe land it appears
| to- be the general opinion) that our true po-
Icy is to adopt the fable of the--as oar
motto.
"And they played on harp CT a Thousand
| Strings"
AS another evidence of prosperity, under
stand that Mcssrs. j. 4. Davis & Co., have il
in contemplation to erect new building. tn,
ensuing Spring OIL the property they have
lately purchased from Mr.. Wilmer, which
will outstrip any thing of the kind in thu
place. 1t is to front on the Main ST., oppo
site the residence of Mr.. Wilmer the pre-
else purpose to which it is to be applied
have not yet ascertaincd. Other buildings
are in contemplated Of which l will advs,
you as learn particulars.
A new society has lately sprung up in on,

as to its object. I understand. however, it il
for the purpose of mutual improv, mcnt, il
