For the Citizen.
Mr.. EDITOR Seeing several com.
munications in your columns, and the
author of the last. wishing to hear from
other town, hips, l hope that brief ar
ticle from Winfield will be read with in
tercst by almost all your readers. The
township was named for enc of the great
est furnaces of its day, but like many
other great manufactures OF the same
kind, has gone to ruin; but the township
is here, aud was as well represented in
Canada during the war, as any township
in the county. As for towns it cannot
boast; the only one worth note is located
on the road leading from Pittsburgh to
Kittanning; it is pretty last place, and
large plenty for the size of it; it contains
two stores, but as for workshops they are
scarce; it can boast of one fur establish
ment that keeps constantly on hand, furs,
such as Raccoon, -Opossum, &c. Ladies
from the surrounding country supplied at
all times, and orders from a distance
promptly filed. 1t has two churches in
its suburbs, one fine NJ. L. and one Cum.
berland, but alas for it, to use the com
mon by-word, it is "played out" the
building has gone to ruin and will never
tell you where the members went Our
schools are going on as usual, paying
plenty of school tax and receiving no
benefit; / do not pretend to say that such
is the case all over the township, but |
do say, it is our awful fate never to have
teacher that can control our school or
conduct school as it shoul be. AS for
Railroads, we are expecting to h Gar
soon that the contract is given, of our
