Letter FROM CoNlNGIoN.

FRISonvILLr, December ~, 1871.
Mn, Enron | sec by the RErunLic,S Of the
9th that there Is movement on foot to erect n
bridge across the river ut Gallows IIarbor. A
bridge may be necessary at that place, but will
toll you that majority Of the taxpayers of Gov
ngton, Knrthaus, Graham and Morris want n
bridge put across the river ut the mouth of Sandy.
A bridge can be built cheaper at that point than
anywhere else below Clcarfcld town, because all
the material can be secured In the Immediate vi
cinity. There are several saw mills on Sandy,
which would furnish the timber cheap aud the
very best quality Of stone on both sides of the
river, within few rods Of where the abutmenls
would be erected. The banks arc bold aud bridge
Of two hundred feet will span the stream Besides,
the bridge can be approached by the best grades
OF anywhere clso within ten miles. The mouth Of
Sandy is seven miles above Karthaus bridge four
miles from Frcnchyillc, with almost level grade.
The grade on the other side of the river can be
made equally easy. 1t is fvo miles to Kylcrtown
and eight and half to Walaccton on the railroad,
thus making ii only twelve and u half miles from
Mulsonburg to the railroad. The travel and bust
ness done ever this route when tho river Is low or
frozen, is double that of any other fording, all
because of the easy grade.
A large number Of persons in the townships
named have signed petitions for a bridge at Sandy,
and to show that they arc in earnest, large
amount Of money has been subscribed and 1t will
be paid, too, because all who have subscribed are
able to pay. have no self fintcres in the erection
of bridge at this point but deem 1t the most con
venient and best for the public. And upon this
point want practical men, engineers and builders,
to come and view the location. also wish tho
County Commissioners would come down and view
1t. They have for years been investing money in
bridges in the upper end Of the county, and until
this year not dollar has becnput in bridge below
Clearfeld town, although the river is much larger
than in Pike Bell and Burnside. Now we want
the Commissioners to do something fof us down
this way. We like good and free bridges down
this way as well as thcp do in the other end of the
county, and we don't want them to 20 back on us.
Nearly all the the trading of Coyington and Kart.
hau9is now done at Snow Shoe, in Centre county;
if free bridge built at Sandy, the trade would
naturally go where it belongc, Ccarfcld, Williams
grove and Wallnceton. We want you to assist us
in this matter and help US set bridge.
Your friend, A FREE BRIDGE.
[wo can do but little in the bridge line, but VIC
will not be found opposing the erection of free
bridges, in any section Of the county where they
are as scarce and necessary as below this place.
After good Court House and Prison are bull,
can engage in, is to assist in the erection Of free
bridges And We hope to live to see dozen Of
them erected En-. REPuBLIcAS.l

A RytrGIous SwInp1E-We len

A RELIGIOUS SwINDLE. We learn
by the Clinton Democrat Of last week, one Of tho
methods by which the churehgocrs Of Lock Haven
raise the wind, which is related as folloBsl "a
rather novel plan for beguiling sooiably inclined
people out of their loose stamps was brought into
play at the sociable Of 81. Paul's Church, held at
the residence of Mr.. Geo. X. Tozcr last week.
After the customary hat had been passed around,
and the spirits Of the party tolerably revived, n
gentleman took possession Of the floor and read an
Announcement extraordnairc to the effect that
their amiabic hostess had obtained as personal
favor, from Prof Blot, the distinguished artist de
cuisine, who had procured 1t at immense trouble
and expense from the chief Of staff Of the culinary
department Of the Grand Duke Alexis, the receipt
for making his princoly masters fayoriie dish, the
Russian name Of which is Noalai DO dorisehakof
Phtrgyxerz pronounced with Whistlel Bronski,
That delicious dish could bo eaten in the dining
room for the extremely moderate price Of 20 cents
per head. Everybody went, Of course, to try IT,,
and discovered that mHsh aud mik was not all
that pas cold In that dining room. siill It was a
very superior article and reflected credit not only
for the ingenuity Of its introduction. but on the
saaiaIy Of the hostess. gpitn q nice little sam
was realized on this pleasant occasion for the ben
ct Of St, Paul's Church"

NoS- EXPLOSIVE LANPs.-lI. +. Bigier Co.
have on hand for the holidays fine assortment Of
Perkins a Houses Hand, Stand, Hanging and
Bracket Lamps, by using which you avoid all the
danger from glass lamps.
Glass lamps will explode, n' they are doing cv-
erywhere daily, destroying life and property.
Glass lamps will break, spill oil, and start fire
which Is almost iuoxtinguishablc.
Glass lamps use more oil and give less light than
this. They give bad kerosene odor, especially
when turned down low, and are very unwholcsomc
for night lamps or sick rooms.
Glass lamps easily get out Of repair. Children
are never safe where glass lamps arc used. But
you can safely leave this lamp with your children
OF careless servants.
No man has q moral right to endangcr the safe
ty of his family and property by using glass
lamps, since there s no loHger any necessity for It,
Perkins & Houses none xposiYe lamps are made
Of metal
Save your lives by using this lamp. Save yonr
houses from burning. Save your family from
burning and depth. saye your popoy by getting
a durable, ail-ssying lamp. Save your eyes by
having a better light For sal, by II. y. Bigler

VINO rs THE OFFICER I've take tbt

VINO is THE OFFICER I've take the
following extract from a prirate letter and dcdi-
cate to public use. After detailing business
affairs, the writer says: q" was in your town few
weeks ago and while there settled up some legal
business, and | think the officer charged me an
Outrageous bill in tho shape of costs. You had
better get up some fee bills, for think they are
needed" Now, If the writer will just give us the
namo Of the officer, whether of high or low degree,
VIC will investigate the matter, and compel resti-
tution If illegal fees have been charged, and for
future benefit, expose the party, If guilty of the
Offence. There is deprayity and corruption enough
in the country, without tho small robbery Of taking
illegal fees. II there is anything Of this kind 60
ing on, by either county, borough or township Of
hcials. We win be obliged to any one who will give
us the name of the officer or officers so offending.

ANOTHER Cu,Nar Wa ore hiobI

ANOTHER CHANGE.-We are highly
pleased to notice that that veteran editor, II. L.
DicfTonbach, formerly of the Clinton Democrat
and lately Of the Bloomsbury Columbian, has be-
come editor and publisher of the Lycoming Stan
dara. That journal has had a prccarious exist
encc for time, but we rejoice to know that ii
is now on the highway to prosperity. The trio
who presided over the Standard a few weeks ago
saw Ct to give us "a dig" but as some of them
were in jnii, sud the others strangers to US and
unaoquanted with their business, VIC allowed it to
pass being we'll satisfied that newspaperdom
would not be tormcnted with them long.
