For the Gazette.

An arrest was made the other day for
drunkenness, and the fine of two dollars
imposed on the party for the benefit of the
School Treasury, as provided by Act of
Assembly. If all drunkards are to be ar
rested, without regard to persons, well
and good; but if few out of the many
are to be singled out and made the butt of
this law, the community should take meas
ures to see that all are treated alike. 1t
is notorious fact that since the promuI-
CATION of the resolution of the School
Board several intoxicated persons in day
time as well as at night, might have been
seen in Market street alone, but a film APP
parently covered eyes that at other times
are sharp-sighted enough even ''to see
what is not to be seen" Let us have
FAIRPLAY.

The Broad Top Railroad. control
lers of this road, says the Bedford Inqui-
rer, have within the last six months i'm
proved it very much. All the old trestle
have been superseded by new and splend-
i'll materials, while many other improve
ments have been made. The Broad Top
road is one of the safest il the State. 1t
has a less number of accidents recorded
than any other line of the same length
reported, while the care and attention of
its officers to the comforts of the travelling
public speak in the most favorable terms.
We do not think that any one will hesi-
tate to pronounce the most favorable opin-
ion of the substantial condition of the
road who will take the pains to inquire
or to investigate. We do not know of
single accident which has resulted from
pure negligence of its employees or the
inefIiciency of the material used in its
construction, though it has been in exis-
tence for ten years. The visitors to the
Bedford Springs will find this road per-
fectly safe and in very good condition.

ease but left with difficulty. In fact ltwns
only. by using force that we tore, our
selves away. Acknowledging the crav.
lngs OF tho inner man, we arose from
the table, and proceeding on deck, found
ourselves still at Slstersville, with fair
prospect Of remaining there. The top
OF Q huge rock had come In contact
with the bottom OF the boat, and refns-

retiring to the cabin, sought solRce In
"A life on the ocean wave,

where she had been anchored the
night before. Taking advantage Of the
occasion we sailed forth 10 View the

not the place where the yarns for Har.

a place where they spin yarn for other
drawers.
Retraclng our steps and finding our
hope-the Leni-well grounded, we
amused ourselves on the bank OF the
river with game OF ball. This was
continued until one Of the party lost his
