WRITING SCHOOL.-Mr. J. A. Fulmer
an excellent penman, has now under his
instruction, at the Academy, about y pu-
pills. Mr.. f. teaches the celebrated Spen.
cerian system, the principles of which, il
followed out will make a good penman ot
any ordinary writer. y good oppOrtuni-
ty is thus afforded our community, and
young men especially who intend engag-
ing in business of any kind, should avail
themselves of it, and learn to write a leg
ible hand, which is an essential to all bu-
siness men. Mr.. f. comes well recon-
mended, and we have no doubt of his
ability to give entire satisfaction to stu
dents of the art placing themselves under
his tutorship. Three sessions a day are
held, making it convenient for all to at
tend-mOrning, afternoon or evening.
To EAT.-Charley Dalby, at his rooms
on the corner of DOrcas and Mill streets,
keeps Oysters fresh from the shell, Chick
en-, Turtle and other Soups, Sardines, all
of the best. His establishment has late
~ been fitted up, and will compare with
any in town. Call on him, he will be
glad to serve you. None but temperance
drinks on hand, and they ice cold. 2t
gGg" 1t will beseen by an advertisement
in this paper that a meeting is proposed
to be held in the Town Hall on Thursday
evening, for the purpose of aiding the
building of a Railroad from Selinsgrove
to this place. We consider the compile
ton of this project of very great impor-
tanGe to the prosperity of our town, as
well as to the whole county. Every fam
lily that uses coal will be directly interest
ed in it. By means of it we will have di-
rect communication with the great an
thracite coal field, thus cheapening the
price of that article so indispensable to
every household, and preventing the rise
in it which so often happens in winter
from short supply on account of naviga-
ton being closed. 1t will stimulate and
increase manufactures, the source to
which we must look for any permanent
prosperity to our town. 1t will make this
a feasible point to work up the ores that
abound in great quantities in our yicini-
ty, and to do anything where coal is used
as a motive power. Let the farmer come
to the meeting; he desires cheap lime
burners coal to fertilize his fields, so that
he can raise the grain to supply the mar
ket which will be produced by the very
manufacturers which this road will stim-
ulate. Finally let all turn out to the
meeting and hear for themselves what the
prospect is of the road being built, and do
all they can by themselves and by per-
suading their neighbors to assist in this
commendable enterprise.
The wheat harvest is progressing, and
although short in the straw is well filled.
The thermometer has ranged as high
as 96 during the past week, but yesterday
it was quite pleasant again.
The Day Express west now runs by this
station-the first train we believe not stop
ping here since the road was constructed.
There is said to be good deal of tribu-
lation among the free passes, in conse-
quence of rumor that they are to be lift
ed. Let 'er rip.
Galbraith's market car attracted con-
siderable attention last week, being one
OF the best specimens of car ofthat kind
on the road. He furnishes marketing of
all kinds to our dealers, generally about
the middle of the week.
Thecircus swhichrecently passed through
this region set half the editors by the
ears, and both the Lewistown Democrat
and Huntingdon Globe are much con-
cerned for the Gazette because the agent
advertised it in our paper. We will send
our tickets for the next show to these
editors.
B. J. Sills, Frank Heisler and Alfred
Hull, butchers, occupy stalls in the market
house on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day mornings; and George Allen and the
gardener across the river attend on the
same mornings with vegetables, &c. Our
citizens who desire to establish a market
ought to buy there as in no other way
can the object be accomplished.
The 4th of July passed off here without
any general public celebration, but as
usual pistols, guns, fireworks, DC, kept
up stir from early morning until late at
night. Parties We're out in all directions
enjoying themselves in various modes
and so far as our observation went less
drunkenness than usual prevailed. The
old Logan Guards were at Philadelphia at
the flag presentations, occupying the right
