MESSRS. EDITORS.-I noticed i'm the
Gazette, a few weeks ago, that some cor
respondent asked the question, ''If itwas
lawful and right for any one man to hold
more than one office of profit or trust at
the same time, y and also speaks Ofmodest
men freeing themselves from one office
as soon as elected to another. Now |
think that justice and right demand that
no one man should hold more than one
office at the same time. As to modes
ty," | think 1t IS too often left out of the
question. Wishing to be loyal and true.
and subject to the powers that be y /
suppose there will be no harm in sneak
ing of things as they occur around us. as
there seems to be a strong undue desire
by some TO gather up all the crumbs that
fall from Uncle Sam's table Itis known
that Assessors, as sworn officers. are re-
quested on their returns, to name two
responsible men, one of which the law
requires the County Commissioners to
appoint as Collector of each boronUh or
township. When an Assessor is 50 inn
modest az to return himself as Collector
ought the Commissioners to appOint him 4?
They have done it in Oliver. He NAV
make a good enough Collector, but would
not the bag have been quite as safe in the
hands of one not quite so anxious? In
some of the adjoining townships the AS
SCISSORS returned men as was their dutv to
do, but the Commissioners passed over
] them and appointed other men, we are
| told, that suited their political stripe bet
! ter. Is this true democracy? We are
also Informed that one of our Associate
! Judges is acting as Township Auditor,
and, also, as School Director. Now /
/ honestly think that a Judge of Court
! ought to be free from all other offices, so
! that IN the event of officers not being
faithful, and should have to be returned
TO Court the Judges ought not to be party.
! strange that some men think themselves
the only fit persons to hold offices. That

Passage Of the reconstruction
ESSIEv

AS was expected Johnson vetoed the re-
construction bill passed by Congress, but
two-thirds of each house adopted it over
the veto on Saturday evening, and it is
therefore now the law of the land. The
tenure of office bill and several others also
became laws in the same way. Revefdy
Johnson of Maryland expressed his sur
prise at some of the Presidents views,
which he declared illogical and contrary
to law, and also stated that many south
erners assured hlm that the South would
organize under this bill and accept its
conditions.
The new Congress met at noon on the
4th. Mr.. Colfax was reelected Speaker,
and Mr.. Ed. NrPherson Clerk.

Unlock the Rocks.-The great cost Of
silver aud gold arises not so much from
their scarcity in the earth, as the difficult
ty of extracting them from their stony
combinations DR.. j. c. Aver, the well
known chemist Of Massachusetts, has
cut this gordian knot. After having mer
tied and received the gratitude of half
mankind, by his remedies that cure their
diseases, he is now winning the other half
by opening for them an easy road to the
eXhaustless treasures OF thehills He has
discovered and published a chemical pro-
cess, which renders at little cost, the hard
est rocks and ores friable like chalk, so
that the precious metals are loOsed from
their confinement, and easily gathered.
Mines too poor to pay, may be worked at
a profit now, and the yield of rich mines
is largely increased, while the cost of ex-
tracing the metals from the ore is dimin-
ished. Either is great achievement, to
enrich mankind, or cure their diseases.
But we are informed our celebrated coun-
tryman adheres to the latter, as his speci-
ality and chief ambition Buffalo Sen

N O T 7 Q Z

The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovEsrEEN Co are
deemed by all good judges to be the Ultima Thule of
instruments of the kind.
we cannot suggest what is wanting to make mu-
sicM instrument more perfect, although we are slow
to admit that the limit of improvement can ever be
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre-
sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe-
uhon with instruments of the best makers of this
country and Europe, and received the reward of mer
IT, over all others the celebrated Worlds Fair II
sbuJusce to say tha the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world
StlIi by the Improvements lately applied by them
to their Planos is admitted that more perfect in
strument has been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent Surely after this, they are entitled to the
motto Excelsior" nov141v

School Board appears so one-sided, that
they accepted only such Teachers as were
of their own political stripe, save one,
and he because of his being a relative of
one of the Directors. We are also in
formed that one of the Teachers employed
by this Board to be so imperfect in arith-
metic as TO be unable to teach at least one
of his scholars. We are also informed by
a citizen OF this same township, that he
had teacher in view for his school with.
as he said, the best certificate i'm the town
ship, but the school was given to another.
Strange democracy, this.

FRIENDS EDITORS: A writer in the
Gazette who signs himself Farmer, has
called the attention of the citizens of the
Valley to the great Importance of Rail
road from Reedsville to AIillcreek, a dis
tance of only "a miles. Now at the rate
it cost to make the Railroad from Lewis
town to Reedsville it would only cost
some $500. 900 to construct road through
the valley from ReedsVille to Millcreek,
and what would the expenditure ofSS00,-
600 be to the great people of our great val
ley? Be sure they would rather travel in
mud hub deep than to have anything to
do with so trifing a thing a. a Turnpike.
What they go in for, is a Railroad.
The writer says it would pay better than
Oil Stock, but we can assure the writer
that oil stock paid well to the Managers,
and Railroad project may pay as well,
if managed by men in whom the people
have always had confidence. Let an El
der of Church contrive the plot. another
Elder of the Church engineer it through.
When you take subscriptions, if the sub
Scriber has not got the ready to plank
down, take negotiable note, and be sure
to sell it forthwith do not let it get warm
in your hands, for that would be danger
Gus.
In this way Railroad project through
the valley might be made to be profitable,
at least TO those in the inside ring. So,
hurrah for the Big Valley Railroad. Look
out for the locomotive loot, toot, toot

Important In3prOUemeatS-The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company have been
for a considerable time engaged in con-
structing wall ofsolid masonry in Jack s
Narrows, about a mile above this place
to accommodate a double track. This is
perhaps one of the most difficult points
on the road for the construction of an az =
ditional track, the rugged, almost perpeL-
dicular, ascent of the mountain on the
right making it absolutely impossible to
lay a track on that side, while the canal
hugs the present track closely on the left
and the river being in close proximity to
the canal. The Company were therefore
compelled to build a wall into the canal
for the new track, and on this work from
30 to 81 men have been constantly en-
ployed for two and half or three years
past. The wall is 3400 feet in length
(almOst three-quarters of a mile 20 to -
high, and feet thick; making about half
a million cubic feet. The work is now
approaching completion, and tits expect
ed that u double track will be laid within
the present year. The work has been un-
der the supervision of Mr.. Paul Smith as
chief engineer, and reflects much credit
on his ability in that capacity.-NOmtt
