OLD FHrExDs.-It is often gratifying for old
time friends to greet each other again IN the
flesh while still in the enjoyment Of all their
faculties. Of this character, doubtless, was
the visit, in Kelly township, last week. after
Efy ysars' separation, Of DIR. Thomas Il. Smi-
lev (of School Book memory of Philadelphia.
" p
this week met James NJ. Kuesier, (of the New
Castle JyurnaD and Hon. Jesse Beaver, who
together here, about 1923. were boys together
in the printing office of Mr.. Caro'hers Of the
"Union Hickory. Chronicle, 22d
ult.
Truly it was gratifying to meet former
friends and associates, and especially our
old friend and companion while an appren-
tice, in the town of our boyhood but, the
little village has grown to be city in
size-farms in the neighborbo ood have been
laid off into lots-streets have been open
ed and graded-stately mansions built
public edifces for the accommodation Of
the Courts, and county Offices have been
erected-old churches have been torn
down and magnificent new ones taken their
place. The mill race is no longer the
boundary line of the corporation it is still
there, arched over in places, to convey the
propelling power to the old mill, which
still stands as q monument of other years /;
however, it cast a melancholy reflection
over our mind, when we learn that Mr..
Brown, the former owner of the mill and
the grounds surrounding it, had gone to
another sphere, with many Others, with
whom we had been acquainted. Others
have taken their places.
Lewisburg is now the capital Of Union
county-is beautifully located on the west
bank Of the West Branch of the Susque-
hanna river, at the mouth Of Buffalo creek,
at the eastern extremity Of BuffaIoe val
lev, one of the most fertile vallies in the
State, aud is the principal grain market 10
that region. having the advantages of the
Suubury aud Erie Railroad, and canal
for shipping produce-being q. point Of
considerable importance. At this place,
the Baptist denomination have a large
College, in successful operation, with ex
tensive grounds attached, for the education
Of boys. They have also erected Ladies
Seminary, which we we're told is we'll pat
rouized. These institutions add much tt
the appearance and prosperity Of the place,
and may do much good in the education
of the rising generation.-La~rence Jour
