NEW PosT RoUTEs IN CLEARFIELD COUNTY
By the Congressional proceedings, we see that
Gen. John Patton has presented petition for
a new post route from Williams Grove, via
Gralampton, to ShIrcy's in Bradford town
ship; another for a post route from Cherry
tree, via Westover's and McGarvey's, to An
sonsville and third for route from New
burg, via Curry's, to Westoyers. We trust
these new routes may be created.
DEDICATION Methodist Episcopal
Church, recently erected in Gurwensville, was
dedicated TO Service of Almighty God, on
Sabbath last. We learn that large con- |
of people were present. A collection
taken up to pay off the remaining debt on
the church. and the sum of Sl45O.OO was con-
tributed-which is sufficient to liquidate all
claims against it. A very liberal contribu-
ton, indeed. The church cost S8600.00.
CLgARrTELD AND TYRoSE.-We learn that |
the Cleartield and Tyrone Railroad has been
completed as far as Sandy Ridge-a distance |
Of l6 miles-and that the cars have been run |
ming to that point during the past week This, |
no doubt, will be gratifying news to the peo
pie of this county, as it facilitates the egress
and ingress to the county. What effect it
will have in reducing freights and the price of
articles brought into the county for sale, re-
mains to be seen.
Oh a YIsIr.-Capt. A. NJ. Smith, of the
Washington Cadets, has been spending the
past week with his friends in this place and
vicinity. The Captain looks as though camp
lie agreed with him he has the appearance
of a thorough soldier, and no doubt when the
grand army shall advance, the Captain will be
found at the head of his men, as eager as any
one else for the fray, and will leave his mark
on the seccsh that will not soon be forgotten
lie left home for camp Pierpont on Tuesday
morning, where we hope he may arrive safe.
