Dear Freemdn-This village (Hemlock }
is situated on the line of the great Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. at Lilly's Station, and con-
tains with the peighborhood that is sup
posed to be accommodated by said station)
about one thousand souls. The business
portion of the community comprises six
firms engaged in mining and shipping btu
minous coal, and who are shipping an aver
age of two hundred tons daily-bsing more
than is shipped from any other station on
the line Of the road, except Gallitzin. Be-
sides, there are some ten different parties en-
gagged in general merchandising, aud who
receive and ship all the freights by this
road. and seven firms engaged in numbering.
who are now, or will be in few days, ship
ping from $4,000 to so 900 feet of lumber
daily. / now propose to show the kind OF
accommodations for doing all this business
furnished US by the company owning this
road. In manifesting all our freights we
must go to Cresson in receiving freights We
must either prepay all freight charges or
receive them at Cresson, the Company hav-
ing DO agent here to attend to their business
As our business with the road must be done
at Cresson we may as we'll show the facili-
ties afforded US by the Company for reach
ing that point, or indeed any other point
east to which business may call us. For
our accommodation, or more likely to gather
up our spare stampe, we havaone passenger
train (the Mail) to stop daily. This train
goes east at 1.46, P. N. Should business
call US eastward at any other time Of the
day. the Company, in their mRgnanimity,
have interposed no objection 10 our walking.
Freights received at this point are unloaded
in the neighborhood of what is supposed to
be the station.-a building some twenty
feet square and containing water tank for
the accommodation of the Company. There
is no person here to look after or take care
of the goods thus disposed of, aud as we
can't tell Just when they may arrive it 10
necessary that we should be on the ground
pretty much all the time. Should business
require US to travel any, (and though it il
| almost an impossibility to get from home We
are sometimes compelled to co., and should
the weather be unfavorable. as it not unfre-
quently is in this locality, We must intrude
| on the hospitality Of our nsighbors to shell
| ter US until the arrival Of the train.
In view of the many difficulties we have
been and are now laboring under in regard
to accommodations at this point, we thought
the Company, in their generosity. would not
refuse to stop an additional train or two for
| our accommodation when business called US
east, and for this purpose petition, signed
| by some eighty humble individuals who
have the misfortune to be located here, was
| forwarded to the Assistant Superintendent
Of the Western Division but ju3ge Of our
astonishmsnt on receiving statement to the
effect that our petition had been received,

Tbe PacIac Rail- Road.

The great marvel of the age is the won
derful rapidity with which the Paeinc ia IL
Road has been constructed. Neither IN this
or any other country does the history oil ran
road construction furnish any parallel to 1t.
Whether it has been well and substantially
built. or otherwise, and whether honesty
and good faith have characterized the busl-
ness operations Of the Company. are ques-
tions which remain yet to be solved. There
are very grave suspicious, of recent orlgln'
that it is whited sepulchre, fair to behold
but within, full of rottsnness and dead mems
bones. We will wait and see.
The junction of the eastern and western
branches Of the road will be effected this
week, near Premontory Point, il Utah Ter
ritory, when the laying Of the last rail and
the driving of the last spike will complete
this magnificent thoroughfare, the longest
| rail road in the world. To build this road
the general government has lent the nation
al credit to the amount Of fifty millions OF
dollars. The distance from Omaha to Sa-
cramsnto is 1,72l miles. The greatest ele-
walton above the sea is 8,262 feet. at the
summit of the Black Hills, $50 miles vest
from Omaha. On the road through the
Rocky Mountains there are no grades sI-
ceeding 90 feet to the mile. When the road
is in full operation 1t is expected that pas
| sengers will be carried from New York to
San Francisco, q distance Of over 1900
| miles, in six days for one hundred dollars in
| gold.

"THE HOUSE WE JyFIN.p

Space forbids our speaking of the bones,
muscles, lungs, brain, nerves, skin, etc. But
consider for a moment tn at the average amount
of blood in an adult is thirty pounds, or about
one-hfth Of the body's weight. At each beat
of the heart two and a half ounces of blood are
thrown out of it one hundred and seventy five
ounces per minute six hundred and fifty-eix
pounds per hour seven and three fosrth tons
per day. All the blood in the body passes
through the heart in three minutes, and dis
tributes the nutritive principle to every texture
and the source of every secretion. Now, if the
blood Is weak and impure she danger of iDcur-
ring disease is imminent. This is certain to be
its condition, more or less. at this period of the
year. And just here we are admonished of the
superior advantages of MISHLER'S HERB
BlTTERS for cleansing and renovating the
blood. This il will always do, and also pre-
vent any disease arising from impure blood
because it removes the cause. Begin at Onoe
to purify your blood with this great tonic, aud
thus ward off disease before it entrsnchss itself
IN your system.

PRoRABLY the silliest exhibition that two
Senators ever made of themselves, is that
which appears in the case Of Abbott and
Sprague. Sprague's story about the two
dogs was as old as the hills or, at least, as
old as the time Of Sir z. LandsecT, who IL
lustrated it in q we'll known picture. The
happy way in which Sprague made use of
this fact to get himself out of the scrspe,
is shown in the Sprague-Abbott correspon-
dence, of which the subjoined is an accurate.
although not quite literal, translation:

STRANGE NATURAL PHENoMENoN-The
Atlanta lntelligencer thus describes double
headed woman that is on exhibition in that
city, and is even greater curiosity than the
Siamese twins:
1.-The mind usually associates something
hideous or repulsiVe in strange or remarkable
freaks of nature, but this case is q singular
exception in every minutia. Her heads are
perfect in formation, with intelligent, pretty
faces, her form symmetrical and finely devel-
oped, her movements are easy and graceful,
her mind is expansive and well cultivated,
and her education and accomplishments are
beyond the ordinary standard. Among
some of the many peculiarities Of this, the
worlds own great wonder, is her ability to
converse with two persons on different SUI b.
)ects at tbs same time, sing very beautifully
two parts OF an air at once, or converse or
sing together, and many equally astounding
peculiarities: that can only be believed by
witnessing them"

and "am sorry TO say that the fast time we
have to make on trains referred to prohibits
us from making any way stops with them. /"
Il at once occurred to us that this objection
could be remedied by making the time OF
said trains one minute more, which it seems to
US, would be very small waste of the raw
material. Having had the misfortune. how
ever, to be reared in the woods. perhaps we
don't understand the value of time as we'll

IAPRovBMENT IN 1RoN-MAKIEG.-Mr.
John Burt, leading iron-maker Of Detroit,
amp president of a rolling mills company,
las perfected most valuable invention, for
the manufacture Of pig iron. The Tribune
of that city is only permitted now to state
main facts without going into detail. By
Mr. Burt's process be can convert the Mar
quette ore irto malleable iron in forty min
ntes, manufacturing with such rapidity, also.
as to turn out thirty tons day. The mill
at Marquette, were the new process has been
mainly tested thus far, is so constructed as to
secure great economy in manufacture. I'm
mediately al jacent to the furnace in which
the ore is smelted, is what is called rever-
beratory furnace, in which the chemical
agencies of the invention are applied. Close
to this is the arrangement for squeezing the
iron. and adjoining it the machinery for roll
ing IL. Tho ontiTe process Ia confined to a
small space, and single heating is made
available. for it all. The Tribune says !:
I'VE have examined specimens Of manufac-
ture by the new process. the samples COM
prising the result at different stages. The
fusion is most complete, and the quality of
iron produced compact, smooth, exceedingly
tenacious and ready malleable. Some of the
completed samples in large and small rods
had been bent hot at different stages of heat
and cold. without fracture or fraying. 9th
er specimens had been cut in two cold, ],
showing density and toughness. The pro-
cess Of Mr.. Burt bears some resem blance to
that of the Ellershausen. to which, how ever,
it is quite superior, as an examination Of tn e
metal produced by the two processes will
show. We expect in a few days to be able
TO speak more in detail Of this really great
invention"

PRKsIDENT GRANT appointed and the
Senate confirmed Charles c. Grove, of Ala
bama, to the Office Of Governor of New
Mexico. Grove was an officer in the rebel
army. but made speeches in Alabama last
fall in favor of Grant, and is therefore now
a loyal ard reconstructed citizen. To make
a nest for this Grove, Grant removed Gen.
Mitchell, who was appointed Governor by
Andrew johnson. Mitchell was an officer
in the Union army, and bears the scars Of
honorable wounds upon his person. 1t is
stated, too, that Mitchell clipped the wings
of this same Alabama Grove, in a sharp en-
gagement during the war, in ono of the
Soathern States. 1t turns out, however,
that Grove cannot take the test oath. and
will have to remain out in the cold until
Congress, at its next session. relieves him Of
his political disabilities, which Of course it
will do. If President johnson had made
this appointment what universal howl of
indignation would have gone up from the
radical camp!

to refer to it at length, but will do SO here
after. By the fifteenth section of the act,
the election for township and borough Off
GERS, which is now held in February, is re-
quired to be held in October at the general
election. This change will save the different
counties the expense of holding Spring cleo

which it will be almost impossible for them
to perform. The present arrangement ought
