one tannery, driven by the same power, and
stores of all kinds, almost too numerous to
mention. Away to the north stretches one
of the finest praries that ever the eyes of
man rested upon. Were 1 to attempt to
describe it, those that have never sailed
forth beyond Allegheny's crest, would not
give it due credence. Therefore, suffice it
to say, "tis naught but mighty desert
blooming as the rose" The principal
stream of the county is Bureau Creek,
which flows south-westerly course. The
banks of this stream are fiecked with a
chain of old majestic trees, without under
brush. Their tall trunks below the foliage,
appear in fine relief against the sky, or the
prarie beyond, and sweep in graceful
train along this beautiful prarie. We call
this county old, but in truth it is new

Mr.. Editor-The letter of Jimmy Heffle-
finger, about the judgeship, has reached
this land Of light, and has been read with
admiration. We are particularly pleased
with the modesty of the people of Perry,
who never condescend on begging us to give
them judge. AS long as Perry stands
this, you can not blame Cumberland for
pleading prescription" no matter how
bad the plea in this age, when we have al
most all concluded that rotation in office is
more Republican and Democratic than life
tenure or successive terms. Let me, how
ever, say to you on behalf of very large
part of the people Of old mother Cumber-
land, that If Perry would only assert her
rights IL would be found that the people of
this county are not 80 selfish as Jimmy
thinks them; but as long as your own peo-
pie bow down and worship at the Cumber-
land county shrine, Jimmy must come to
Carlisle before he can be judge.
