In HiNiamsport, found the Gazette (of
venerable memory has been quietly asleep
for some weeks, leaving young Democrat
to prescribe all the local political poison
dealt out iu Lycoming county. A con-
solidation Of the two concerns wonld be a
good thing all around. The Cops here are
laboring under the delusion that Judge
Walls will eat up Maj Shriuer as Senator
candidate without the trouble of sailing
Calron 4 kinsloe are running the Union
Bulletin vigorously, printing, on power
press, not only their own work, but also
Mr.. Volkmar's Zcitua3, and 23O0 copies
of the .Sendbote, German Baptist paper
for which Volkmsr sets the type-tbe
editor is A.Heurich, pastor of three small
churches, north Of town, composed Of very
industrious foreign.born farmers.
Jersey .Shore.-The railway from here
up Pine Creek to the N. Y. & Erie, is in
preparatory progress, and as soon as there
can be moro workmen easily obtained is
likely TO put Jersey Shore on the advance.
There is considerable wealth and business
energy here, and building going on, but
the narrowness of the main street detracts
from the merits Of what might be much
better displayed. Their Herald is q very
respectable sheet, apparently supported
we'll, but, in trying to be "neutral," runs
against great many snags on each shore.
If it we're "indepeudent," it would have
f.irer sailing. Posterity will wonder how
two fair-miuded young men, of ordinary
powers of body and soul, could be neutral
iu such contest as this! Met Mr.. 8 B.
Manley, our candidate for Assembly f Jm
this county, plain, sensible, gray haired
man, (aud boasts little of having Rev.
BENZ B. Hamlin for a son n,in-law.) He
was 10 East Tennessee when the war first
ragged there, and left, he says, when they
began to hang better men than himself
Hope lie will call on good many of the
Unionis,s of Union and Snyder counties,
before election day. Mr.. Humes' defeat,
as candidate for Senator, is not altogether
relished by bis friends, but Mr.. Shriner's
nomination is quite acceptable, and aan11

tempted to desire to become an invalid

Lock Haren.-There is a large accumula-
ton of people, money and boards in this
place-very much scattered, however, SO that
grading paving streets and sidewalks will
be very expensive indeed trhenerer The people
get SO agreed that they can commence i'm.
provements al any particular place. AS IL
is, almost everything Especially on rainy
day) looks shabby, and nfnished-lndica-
ting floating population, and great inequal-
ity of wealth-some superior buildings. and
many very poor ones. Another great disad-
is the liability of the whole town 10
from which they may often suf-
fer, as they have in the past. The water
not long since rose 10 the windows OF the
house where l slept, and in lsi7 my kind
land lady said child died IN the house she
then lived in, and for burial was taken away
from the upper rooms in boat. The posi-
bil,ty of such events is a serious drawback
to any one staying in the town over night {:
he can hardly sleep well on knowing he
might find himself in stationary ark before
morning and then there must be more ague
where water Lies around so loose" The !
railway TO Erie is finished, and but for the !
scarcity Of rolling stock (needed by the Gov
ernment) would have been used before this
Inc formal opening is promised in the early !
part of October. An old engine blew up re-
Gently, above here, killing three persons. A
small portion only of the road 10 MileSburg |
is not finished, bat am told soon will be,
and then the new route-Lock Haven 10 Ty- |
take thousands who would other |
wise travel by Sunbury and Marysvllle for
Pitsburg. Thus it will be seen that Lock
Haven is an important railway anG business
point, despite its unfortunate lowneSs OF site. !
There is a great superauity Of lager beer
shops IN town, which mar its moral whole
someness, but most of The religious denomi-
ha'ions appear to have fair start in the
way oi houses of worship. The Bapiists
nave bought the dryest lot IN town for build. !

The Northumberland Association, however, |
was very kindly entertained in the house of
the NJ. L. Church, Tuesday TO Thursday.
Geo. NJ. Spralt was chosen Moderator; los.
p. Tuslin, Assistant Clerk; Robert dunbar,
Treasurer. Baptisns reported, l27-net,
gain, &c. OF the 22l church letters read, all
breaIhed the most patriotic sprit-except the
ieuer, from divided church, which gave
an unintellgibIe fling against "political prea-
ching" Measures were recommended tor
the occupancy of the fields opening On the
railway towards Warren and Mlesburg, and
for the establishment of family paper for
