ton in Brady township will, in any way,
atone for lack OF masculine mental acu-
men, then | am at liberty to "show mine
opinion shall not attempt any la
boured encomium on Brady, or endeavor
to set forth her perfeotions, for,
''ro gild refined gold to paint the liliy
To show perfume on the violet,

Unto the rainbow
Is tasteful and ridiculous excess
And was'eful and ridiculous excess ip>
deed it would be to say any thing in
praise of Brady; she shines unrivaled
ameng her sister tow nships, ard like the
eagle proper emblem of her daring,
scars beyoad them and gazes unda zzled,on

| am aware that "one-ideaism" are the
besetting sins of American people; hence
it is that our people arc prone to go to
extremes with all new ideas and run
their hobbies 50 unceremouously into
the ground. But if the public have not
been treated with such productions ad
Hausean' | shall say word on the pres
ent condition of Brady: Buckwheat is
the staple commodity, cabbage is the
chief garden vegetable which the inhab-
itant9 very methodically convert into
'sour kraut." West Liberty is the grand
centre Of trade and is destined to be
one Of the grand centres of influences in
Western Pennsylvania; from what have
seen and learned, this is most certainly
the town for the man of small capital
1t is not my purpose to give to the world
through the columns of the "CIrIzEN,N
an advertisement, but to any one hunt
ing a home | would say, come to West
Liberty, its popul2tio is now consider
able-'tyet, there S room for thousands
more"
