are also somewhat injured. In short, v
found not the first Merchant who ha,
mustered sufficient courage aud cash :

Rather behind the times was tha
fine man with big farm who some year
ago wrongly supposed himself unable t.
take the newspaper. He was Juggling I
bag of wheat over his field and sowing b.
hand the miserable poor stuff raised from
the same soil. Seed with better origin
put in with drill, would have ensured I
better crop with less toll.
FREEBuRG exhibits the most signs o.
progress of any town We visited. There
are number of brick aud wooden houses
offices and shops put up this year. dr.
Houtz has taken the Walter mercantile
establishment at Centerville, and will move
therc.) The Frccburs Academy has been
rebuilt, and looks even better than its pre-
/ decessor-a superior monument to the
enterprise, sasaci,y, and love Of virtuo Of
the Independent citizens of Washington
township. The School is we'll ofiicered,
and We are glad to learn in Aourishing
condition. Prof. BurchGeld: Supcriuten-
dent of Juniata county, delivered an inte-
resting address in the Academy, Tuesday
evening.
SELINsGRovE never displayed its fair
proportions to better advantage than as VIC
approached it Gin tue light of an afternoon
sum from the west. We had not time to
call, but marked many evidences Of pros
perity particularly in the upper or north
part Of the borough. That vane of the
new brick church house, bent down to the
wood work of the steeple, and pointing
pcr'inaciously and horizontally east, still
maintains an orthodox protestation against
"varying with every wind of doctrine"
Some of the more enterprising and far
sighted citizens of Se;insgrovo are endeav-
oring to secure the NORMAL SCHOOL for
this District, in that Borough as central
location. A preliminary meeting has been
held, and a General Convention of those
friendly to the effort, is called at Selins-
grove for Wednesday 9TH Oct at 10 AN.
This, or the Bridge, or both, is far better
business than that Of the small politicians
who attempt to quarrel with the citizens
of the county because they preferred by a
large majority another competitor for the
privilege of paying a grinding tax for the
honor (and profts) of county court.
But, to cut our cogitations short, after
all "sherc's no place like HOME"

Our Legislative Candidates.
THOMAS HAYES, Esq, the nominee of
Union county, is man whose qualifca-
tions are undoubted, and whose character
stands without spot or blemish. Possess.
ing rare business talents, proverbially hon.
est, industrious, and enterprising, and tav.
ing thorough knowledge Of the wants
of the people Of the district, no bet.
ter selection could be desired. Mr.. |
Hayes is known throughout Union and
Snyder as a man Of the finest social q11li-
ties, and beloved in all the relations of
life Twice have his fellow citizens pre-.
sented him for the Legislature, thus at
testing the deep hold he has in their con-
fidence and affections ; aud We have every
guarantee from his past life that he will
bring no discredit upon it. We predict
his election by very large majority.
Hon. DANIEL WITMER is at present one
of the Associate Judges Of Snyder county.
His election is a most excellent one, emi-
ncntly worthy the honest yeomanry of
his county, and it was only after the most
urgent solicitations that he consented to
allow the use of his name for the honora.
bic position of legislator. For honesty,
industry, and capabiliiy, he has
no superior in the District. He is good
man, strong man, worthy and deserv-
ing man, and as such We confidently look
for his triumphant election.
We take great pleasure in recommend
ing them to the suffrages Of the people of
