mocrats present, but very few participated
in the prccecdings-therc being but three
voices heard on adopting the resolutions
> Not having been furnished with an oficia
copy of the proceedings, our report mus
be incomplete but We learn that another
County Committee was appointed, series
of very good Wing resolutions adopted land
a'spccch partly delivered by Mr. Weirick,
which was terminated by the ringing Of
the bell for Court. The "outsiders" heard
, of no appointment Of Delegate State Conv
next year, or of Senatorial or Representa-
tive Conferces, but the "insiders" claimed
that the latter were appointed.
The whole proceeding shows dctcrmi.
nation, on the part of few, to keep up
the local quarrel among the Wings of the
county, even when its last occasion-the
location of q county seat-will soon be
settled.
The speech of Mr.. Weirick was a ming
ling of denunciations against Stringfellow
and Selinsgrove-Nebraskality and Lewis
burg. He described Selinsgrove and Lew
isburg as extremely, dangerously unheal-
thy-and the same of MifiIntown in Juni-
alta county; and if people had believed all
he said, nobody would dare to vote for
any Of these Is seats of justice. The de-
sign, o. e0mse, was to aid Miffiinburg and
Middlebnfg at our expense. BY running
US down, they were elevated to the same
extent. Thus the people were cunningly
drawn together, under pretcnce of Wing
meeting, to be lectured by an adroit law
yer on a local question. What possible
connection there is between Wing princi.
pies and the location of county site, does
not appear to be very evident What
effect denOuncing Selinsgrove or Lewis
burg has upon Kansas or Sebastopol, we
really can't see. No doubt, however, as
Mr.. Weirick generally gets about right,
but is sometimes rather slow in coming to
a point-no doubt, he would have brought
out his abuse of IL .,isburg and Selinsgrove
into strong Wing argument, if he had
only an hour or two more of time His
course-so opposite to his usual wild and
conciliatory astonished many: but,
after Election, neither Mr.. Weirick nor
any other sensible man will be afraid
to visit either Lewisburg or Selinsgrove.
Severe frosts about the 9th of October will
restore them to their wonted health

FIRE IN CABBoNDALE.-On Sunday
morning of last week, fire broke out in
Carbondale, in room occupied by cir
Gus company, and before it could be arrest
cd destroyed a large portion Of the build
ings of that little city. The loss by the fire
we have seen cstimated as Oh as $780,
900, of wh!,h he most was insured, but
it is supposed the Lycoming company will
lose $4,000 or $40, 900 by the fire, the
Franklin company also large sum, and
other companies smaller sums. The poll
cy of insuring more than one or two bull
dings in block is all wrong. The "pro-
fits" Of that travelling nuisance to Carbon
dale, were rather larger than they COM
monty are.
