An Ium sprinE, In Weston.

Afew days ago, Judge Irvine, while
stfolling on some land he owns just at
the edge Of this village, came upon q
mineral spring, which afforded con-
siderable stream Of water, and which,
upon examination. was found to have
about tbseame properties as the cele-
lbrated Bath Alum Springs. Of Augusta
county. The. spring is situated in. q

yery small Radical Business.

The Sun describes Grant tenn porary
embargo on business in Tioga county,
Pennsylvania. The politicians there
having taken it into their heads 70
assess the Postoffice officials. and the
railroad was told that it must submit
to twenty-five per cent reduction on its
mail contract. The railroad refused
thus to contribute to the funds OF the
Grant Clubs Of Tiogs. and the mails
were taken from the road. The entire
business Of that part rof Pernsykspls

leading merchants went tonaprotest;

Pittsburgh could not be put on sale be-
cause the. mails failed to. bring their

there were several cart loads Of mail

A PescIh-s,one Spring.

this story: ION the land Of Thomas
Hughes is a bold spring OF cold water,
which continually throws out peach
stones 10 a perfect state of preservation.

no doubt that many years ago, before

We invite the attention of our read
ere to the two very able and conclusive
arguments concerning the validity OF
the August election which we publish
this morning They were written by
men OF much legal prominence and
reputation and may be accepted as un-
answerable. The fact that these argu-
ments have been simultaneously pre-
pared by gentlemen in different portions
Of the State, without any consultation
together and without any knowledge OF
each Others intention, adds force 70 the
conclusions they reach. The mode Of
reasoning is nearly the same in both
cases, and by each are the same princi
pies OF law applied. We are glad to
find our own views upon this subject 80
ably reinforced aud 90 triumphantly
confirmed. We presume it will now be
in order for the Intslligencer to bring To
the front again its correspondent who,
with as little reason for the title as he
has Of trnrh in his argument, styles
himself "Legitimist" -,

From observations made during =
recent trip through portions Of this
State. Indiana and Ohio, We are inclined
to the opinion that the present maturing
crop will be the largest ever raised in
the western country. Farmers ip lndls
ana appear to have spportioned mote
than the usual amount OF land to this
cereal, and the railroads appear to pass
through, one continuous oornfed! The
greater portion. of the crop is entirely
out OF danger from frost, and promises
an abundant yield. Near lafayette,
Indiana, 5000 acres Of corn in one
tract was noticed. We were informsd
that farmers in the vicinity Of Cincin.
matt were. contracting their corn quite
freely for future delivsry.-CMea9o n:
