NEW YORK TRIBUNE!l

We trust that those who do not now receive
THE TRIBUNE will subscribe for it without
delay. The club price of THE WEEKLY
TRIBUNE and THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIB-
UNE is SO low that there are but few in any
community unable to take it. Henceforth,
The TRIBrNE, rs the principal paper support
ing the new Administration will be peculiarly
interesting, while outside Of politics its rcli-
able Foreign and Domestic News, its Com
mercal and Agricultural Intelligence, and its
Literary Department, give to it interest and
value which no other paper on this Continent
can boast of. How ably and successfully The
TRIBUNE has conducted the campaign now so
gloriously ended, the result in New York fully
attests, and to the untiring exertions, signal
capacity and foresight of Horace GREELEY is
due much of the glory of the victory over
which ii nation of Freemen are new rejoicing
1t is, therefore, the duty of every II ne RePab-
lican to aid in giving THE TRIBUTE a still
larger circulation. AS evidence of its popu-
larity and reliability, we may state that last
week over Sir Hundred thousand copies were
sold--a circumstance unprecedented in the
annals of journalsm.-Guardio and Gazette,

Lancaster Up. July 80, 1860.
MEssns. EVANS AND WATSON GENTLEMEN-
The small size No. Salamandcr safe which
I urchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam r.
Bs r, in Lancaster City, on July 2oth, 1858,
has been Subjected to a very severe test,
which il Nithstood in a most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books,
together with va, u bic papers belonging to
myself and senn5 to my neigbbors and friends,
and reprcseting value of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, $50 0,ooo) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 27th of Ju-
". 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unsca.hed. The Safe was on the second floor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours 10 an intense heat
among the ruins, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity of grain
confined within he brick walls After the
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers token out il a state of perfect preser-
vation, the paper not even being dscolored.
This t; ct was, however, to many bystanders
a better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other ords from
me. Yours Respectfully,

OUR JOHN,STO wv LETTER.

To the Editor Of The -AHeghdnian:
l have often thought that few lines
from this fourishing town would be of
interest to your many readers. True, we
are slightly affected with Secession pro-
clivities, but that should be no reason why
the best feeling should not prevail between
US. Under this impression, / will from
time to time 'book" you on whatever Of
note may transpire.
THE Gle" FEVER
Tie oil fever is raging violently here
now. Almost every day company is
formed for the purpose of exploring the
bosom Of Mother Earth in quest of their
fortunes, and the morning salutation is,
"Haye you struck lie" The companies
are nearly all engaged in Venango county,
but some few are at work in Virginia
FIRE
Our citizens were alarmed the other
morning by the cry of ''irew Upon re-
pairing to the scene of disaster, we found
the flames to proceed from stable on the
lot of Mr.. J, J. Murphy The adjoining
buildings were speedily torn down, and
the progress of the devouring element
stayed. The loss is very slight
II TIME OF PEACE PREPARE FOR WAR.
At the meeting of the Zouave Cadets
last light, thirty-four of the members sig
nifed their willingness to serve Uncle
Sam at a moments notice. Capt. Power
commands this company, and a finer body
Of military could not be found They are
exceedingly well drilled.
THE POLITICAL CALDRoN.
The state Of the country is the constant
theme Of conversation. Go into a crowd
anywhere and your ears will be greeted
with, ''I am for the Missouri Compromise
in its purity" ''I go for the Border State
Propositions" "Oh, no; give us the Crit
tenden Compromise" while the strict
Republican exclaims, "No compromise
with traitors &c. We are becoming
slightly tired of this everlasting fuss, and
l, for one, go for Montgomery's PROPOSE
ton, which IS, that the members of both
branches of Congress resign, and allow
the People to settle the matter in their
own way. The Border State Propositions
meet with more favor from Republicans
than any of the others.
THE ROLLING MILL.
Our mammoth mill is still in full tide
of successful operation, and the prospect
is very fair that it will continue so during
the winter. 1t is the main prop of our
town, and in no other place in the North
would an adjustment of our National diff
culties be hailed with greater delight than
here. YODER.

Posi- OFFICE AFFAIRs.-Within the
last week, Mrs. Harriet McCague, the
present worthy incumbent of our Post
Office, has withdrawn her petition for re-
appointment as Post Master. There are
now, as far as heard from, four applicants
for the place, as follows Gideon Marlett,
c. T. Roberts, Maj. John Thompson and
Matthias Harr. Considerable interest is
being felt in the matter, and petitions are
circulating in every direction. Well bet
our pile on the man who wins.
IT MUST BE TRUE-We have often
heard it remarked, by persons who ought
to kuow-and of course it must be true
that the cheapest and best place at
which to buy boots and shoes, hats and
caps, ready-made clothing, notioL-. ETC.,
is at the store of G.. II. Jones, one door
east of the Mountain House. Give him
a call, and ascertain the truth of this re-
port. His motto is "quick sales and very
small profits
