EDITOR CoLUMBGAN.--Tho people of
this vicinity have witnessed, thus far,
a remarkable season. Stern Death has
welded his mighty aceptre aud strickon
down here a kind and indulgent pa
rent, and there pride of the hOushOld,
making hearts sad aud homes desolate.
Imagination has connected us with tho
remOtest part Of the country, by an
iron road travelled by iron steeds, which
out-strip the birds in velocity. But,
alas the shril whistle and the rumble
of gigantic wheels, chat were heard
from the towering heights of Fancy's
hill, have left the echoes sleeping, and
we iear that the great project will be
but a. q Fairy dream Yet, thinking IL
to be plausible scheme, and one which,
If completed, Will not only be beneficial
to the country through which il Will
pass, but that It will make o direct lipe
to tho west wo think that linanciers
cannot fail to recognize in ii safe and
profitable investment.
The industrious farmers have roaped
their broad acres, and barns filled with
the golden shcaves is the reward for
their industry, and The prospect for an
abundance of rich golden fruit is, in.
deed, encouraging. While the laborer
rejoices in his abundance, he also re-
joices to know that he Is q citizen of one
of the most powerful nations of the
earth, and while he is devising and
meditating upon plans pertaining to
his individual welfare, each deems 1t
his duty to devote some of his time to
the study of national affairs, for he is
conscious of the fact that the prosperity
of nation or people depends upon the
product Of his industry, and he realizes
| that the prosperity OF q nation assures
his success. AS the time for selecting
the chief magistrate of the nation and
state is drawing nigh, politics is being
| thoroughly discussed, and the corrup-
! tion that has existed during the last
four years, has melted the minds OF all
honest and patriotic voters to work
| zealously in the reformation and restor-
alton OF our great republic. Along. the
wales and mouptains there comes a deep
portentous murmuring, and 10! it is
| the voice of the people crying, save, oh !!
save us from another term OF tyranni-
cal government While there is some
sacrifice to be made, the Democracy
of Luzerne will rally down from the
hills and wales and redeem herself by q
full three thousand majority for Gree
| ley, and the wailing that is heard in
the Republican ranks, assures us that
they recognize in Hartranft principle
which renders him unworthy Of even
their support, and as the career Of Buck.
alew is unstained, untarnished, and
| free from all political delusions or cor
ruptions, they will manifest their con-
viction of the necessity of reformation
by casting their votes for him, and we
are confident that Pennsylvania will
don the the robe of integrity by placing
him in the Gubernatorial chair. Every
Democrat! we adjure you to look to the
interest of your people 3. Ne IL.

TIE SOLDIERS HOMESTEAD LAW
We clip from a Washington paper the
following interesting item to soldiers
who made their entries under the old
law, viz
Tho Commissioner of the General
Land Office has decided that soldiers
who entered homcsteads prior to the
passage of the recent act Of Congress,
familiarly knownas the Soldiers Home
stead law, are entitled to have the time
they served in the army deducted from
the time heretofore required to perfect
title to homesteads the same as those
who made entries after the passage of
said act, and, therefore, that soldiers
who made homc3te9G entries under the
old law may receive their patents by
making proof Of the same and showing
4 compliance with the law and regula-
lions. without waiting until the eXpira.
ton of five years from the date of en-
| try.

ALL over the country, newspapers
which are anxious to preserve the lives
of their advertisers and subscribers, are
Offering suggestions as to what shall be
eaten and drank and wherewithal peo.
Pile shall be clothed at this trying season
of the year. One of them says no man
can at any time expect to enjoy good
health unless he pays some attention to
the nece ssities of his system, and takes
care not to abuse his stomach by immod-
crate eating and drinking. In the first
place the "refreshment" from alcoholic
drinks is all Imagination, and however
agreeable julep or cocktail may be
considered by those mistaken people
who will indulge. its effect Is exactly
opposite to what Is desired. Eating to
excess Is Just as bad To cat TO repletion
or drink TO excess In eXtremehot wealth
or Is equivalent in many eases to suicide.
In any case it induces discomfort If not
illness. Let ii be remembered that tenn
perance in eating and drinking Is the
only condition under which health may
be expected during hot weather.
