FRIEND WILvERT:-
go for lodge in some vast wilderness,
Some boUndiess continuity of shade,
Where rumors of elections and defeat,
The solemn recess never conld pervade."
All, If the immortal Cowper was here he might
find his much longed for "wilderness" aud
Shade" Who knows but the spirit of the mel
ancholy bard does visit the shades of Salt River,
| and studies, with spiritual scrutiny, the long
faced. downcast visnges of the late Dsnocracyf
We arrived at the Salt River settlement On the
| 18th ult. We found our quarters in bad con-
dition. Our leaders always assuring us of GER
tain success Mt the next election, nothing but
! temporary shanties have been erected, only to
| answer until election. No preparation for win
ter. True, we have no women here TO fer and
starye, but how are our "County Ring" and,
above all, "Tamnany'' to survive their afilio-
tons, their offices, their all, without the sym
pathy aud counsel of faithful womani
On the Sth Inst. we were thrown into intense
| excitement and CONSERVATION by the unexpected
arrival of the New York boat. But oh, the de-
spairng haggard aspect OF the Tammany Club 4!
Oh the demoninc features of their rcpeaters,
assassins and pick pockets, from the Five Points
and elsewhere IN bcggars description" and
hence, will not attempt To describe the scene
You heed not expect any more poetry from the
machine of your old correspondent of Lower Au-
gusta. The coal district never sent the prom
ised remittance from their diggins', and the
county Ring never made the necessary repairs.
Hence, no more muse. There is one melancholy
death to notice. Fat O'Leara was so much af-
fected by his transportation to this place, and
his recolections of nm l-spent life, that he sent
for his spiritual advisor, made a full confession,
and received ubsolution. But on the Sth inst
the news of the New York election, and the loss
of Il heavy bet on its result was too much for his
shattered mind. Next morning he was found
suspended from the rafters of his shanty, BY n
small piece of rope, dead If the unfortunate
Patrick had obtained full absolution Tor his mis-
deeds up to this last act, will that deed con-
sign him to the doleful regions the Good Book

THE Boom in the West Branch above Northum-
bcrland, is fast reaching completion This i'm
provement will probably be the most beneficial
of any in this neighborhood and be the means of
establishing manufactures both here and at
Northumberland. Already, it is stated that two
large saw mills will be erected at this place during
next spring, and if once commenced number of
Others will follow. There are perhaps no loca-
tions along the Susquehanna river that are bet
ter adapted for the lumber trade than Sunbury
and Northumberland. The sites for mills are
more favorable, while the chances for shipping
are far better than any along the river. Sun
bury, the termini of five railroads, running
north, south, east and west. presents an advan-
tage to lumber manufacturers that cannot he
surpassed, as the difference in freight alone will
give them such margin over other points that
they cannot overlook.

TsE ARREST or PAT HrsfsR.-On- last Friday
| morning Pat Hester, President of the Molly Ma
guircs, who has of late been electioneering for
the Democratic nomination next fall for the Of
lce OF Sheriff Of this county, was arrested by
Sheriff Heller and the Sheriff of Cecil county,
Maryland, on the charge Of horse stealing. It
appears that the horse, which Pat alleged had
been shot previous to the election, by a party
who had attacked him, had been stolen from q
gentleman of Cecil county, Marylandg1a and
brought to Locust Gap, this county, some three
years ago. Pat became the owner of the horse,
who frequently rendered service to Democratic
can idatcs In cauvassng Mt. Carmel township
OF course, the horse being well known, the sight
Of him did as much good as though Pat had been
present In person, and candidates found Pats
horse quite q convenience. Detectives having
been In that part of the county some weeks ago,
Pat had become uneasy about losing the animal,
and feared he might be restored to his rghtful
owner. Pat therefore took the precautlon to have
him insured before the fatal attack was made.
When the horse was shot, 1t is alleged that the
ball had been fired from above as the ball entered
on top of the animal and passed downwar1 This
gave suspicion of foul play and the insurance CON-
matter could be investigated. The unpleasant
position of Pat at present, caused By his arrest
by the Sheriff of Cecil county, Maryland, on n
requisition from Governor Geary, will, no doubt
delay the matter for some time longer.
A large number of pers ons repaired to the de-
pot at this place, to witness Pats departure for
Maryland, and while waiting for the train, some
curious remarks in regard to his private character
were induged in, and as the cars moved off their
countenances gave evidence of great relief, many
hoping that justice would at last be meted out to
him. But in this they were sadly disappointed.
They never wished to see his like again, but on
Wednesday morning, like H.mlet's Ghost, he re-
appeared and was again seen on our streets.
Pat, like many other Democratic politicians, has
had too much experience, and will not permit
himself to be incarcerated for trines. There is no
doubt that those Democratic candidates for
Sheriff who felt such great relief on his depar-
ture on Friday, and expected to have a clear
course, will be much chagrined when they find
the same verltable Pat again among them push.
Ing his claims for Democratic laurels.

We have heard it rumored for some time past
that there was an organized bend of incendiaries
prowlng through the different towns in the State
who have made their boast that the large cities
and towns should be laid in ashes before winter
Is over Among these are Harrisburg, Lewisburg,
Williamsport, Milton, Danvillc Watsontown and
this place. ANONYMOUS letters have been receiv-
ed in all these places to that effect This is no
doubt the same band Of scoundrels that succeed
ed in laying the city of Chicago in ashes, ami
who have endeavored to bring about the same
results in other cities. We would suggest that
the citizens of towns give this matter special at
tention ana be prepared Cor the villains, and
Illustrate their hellish designs. There have been
suspicious looking individuals prowling about
these towns who should be arrested and compell-
ed to leave forthwith.
