List week, we paid our first visit to the
classic borough of Lewisburg. 1t is the
seat Of justice in Uaion county, beautiful
" located on the western bank of the SGs-
auchanna river, and contains about three
thousand inhabitants. While there is less
business spirit and goahoad energy, than
there is in Danyille, there is certainly
more elegance and taste, in the buildings,
arrangement ef the streets, and general ap-
pcarauce, Of Lewisburg. We spent day
in s;rJiling amid its surrounding scenery,
in the hizy Indian SUMNER and seldom,
indeed, have We spent day more pleas
aut,y. la the first place w were extreme
iy fortunate in pulling a. .t tra klf.loc
House, kept by L. y. Brewer. I'd, one
Of those generous spirits, who sp1re no
pains in miuisiering t. tue comfort Of their
guests. We need only say that the admi-
table appointments Of this popular house
merit the high eneomiums bestowed upon
It by those who have enj 5yed its comforts.
10 tie senior editor Of the Cironic1e.
sc are especially indebted for many inter
es'iug facts in relation to the past history,
social Advancement, educational move
ments aud business operations of Lewi--
burg. Under his pilo'age, we visited the
Court House, the College, Seminary, and
other noted structures that constitute the
chief ornaments Of the place, and cha.-
icngc the honest pride Of lis citizens.
The Court House is not only one Of the
largest in the State, but is justly regarded
as an architectural model. The admira-
bic arrangement Of its various dcEar' men's,
fyr comfort and convenience, can not be
cxcelied. The Jail, in The basement, con.
taus at present only enc prisoner. The
Jur7 rooms and Olhce Of the District At
tcrncy are SO arranged as to admit Of d.
rect access to the Court Room without
passing through the crowd. We believe
this is the third Court House in Pennsyl-
yaaia ihat IL hnilt tho ~~--- e-----i
plan. X was lately erected at cost Of
twenty-five thousand dollars, aud is an or
uamen: tn the place and an honor to the
citizens Of Union county.
The College building, 500 feet in length
from wing to wing, occupies the summit
Of knoll in the suburbs, surrounded by
forest trees, and presenting a beautiful
aud romantic appearance. 1t is in sue
cessful eperation, and is, We believe under
the control Of the Blptist church The
Female Seminary is near the College
building and Is under the same general
direction.
The town is rapidly improving; large
number of elegant private residences are
now in course Of construction.
The Ciroaicic is the Oldest and mos,
spirited journal published in Union coun-
,y. 1t is a Ere paper, "fcaress and free, -
has large circulation, and has made a
successful experimen. on the advance pay
ing principle.
We were pleased to find Charles Zaber,
watch maker aud jewe!er, Capt. G, W. For
rest, and Joseph Gibson, former citizens
of Danyi.c, taking an active part in the
business affairs of Lewisburg. Mr. Glib
son is finished mechanic, ard furnishes
the good people Of that region, with the
latest styi les Of hats, caps aud furs He is
clever fellow, honest, industrious, and
no doubt drives profitable trade. Capt
Forrest is in the book, news and notion
business, and seems to flourish as be de-
serves. Long may his banner wave
