Correspondence Of the Lewisburg Chronicle
Near MIFFLINBURG, April IL.
The first of April, with all its change.
and its follies, has come and gone again
Many removals have taken place, both il
town and country, notwithstanding "Pool
Richards proverb that "three removes
are as bad as fire." Considerable cash
changed hands, settling up many accounts;
and considerable promised-faled.
In the town, another Church is expected
to be put up,which will be comfortable as
well as modern in structure. May it tend
also to revival Of pure and undefled
religion in our vicinity, among both the
young and the old "a blessing which is
surely much needed among US generally
This outlay will probably prevent for
the present season the renovation of the
old franklin" school house-whers Cif
we are to receive as gospel their own con-
fession weekly made ,hro' their own organ
so many Of our great men graduated But
although We have many Rip EauWinkles
among US, yet notwithstanding We have
also enterprlsing young men, who will in
due time make Mifiiinburg the Auburn of
Butaioe Valley
Sweet Auburn loveliest village Of the rlainr-
Ny brief allusion to the Post Office, in
my first letter, appears to have wounded
some one, who flutters in the expiring
issue of the ''Air"y as "Miiflinburg"
have not the paper BY me, but the article
-omitting its useless, pointlsss, abusive
personal---very. summed up, reads sub,tan.
italy thus:
No doubt, if Fremont had been elected
President, he would have given the Post
Office at Ntiliuburg to some lady; but as
buchanan is elected, we must have hard
working, active, Democratic voter in that
Office
Not word can be said against the COM
potency of the lady proposed, the widow of
through going Democrat. Nor can it
be denied that it would be pleasant to all
concerned, and especially to women and
children, to deal with kind and intellg-
eut and sympathizing lady. Nor yet can
it be denied that there are too few means
of profitable employment open to females,
in our older towns where they
majority of the population.
| know not who eve" have agreed upon
20 have the Post Office, and SO have not
word or wish against him but as it is
small Office, unworthy the attention Of
man Of even average business ability,
should hardly think any gentleman would
snatch from lady what would to her be
means of honorable subsistence
No doubt the young, ,chivalrous Fremont
would confer such an Office on a lady-it
is like his noble nature thank you for
just compliment And you say certain
frozen hearted, soul withered Bachelor is
of such deed, and will have a
rigid partizan only, like himself. This is
another compliment, to Mr.. Buchanan-
and if people generally recognize it as a
faithful picture of those gentlemen and Of
their respective parties, SO be i, /!
For one, should be content TO have
of those who deal at our Post
Office, selec, its conductor, on the princi-
pie of public accommodation. We have
had Through going Democrat" for the
last four years, and Heaven knows We of
all parties are sick of that qualification.
It's no wonder, if Mifflinburg Post Office
is a sample of through going Democracy
no wonder l say that the Department falls
in debt millions of dollars every year, 1t
is time the good of the people was taken
into aecount,a not simply the petty inte-
rests of party. QUILLE PENNE.
