LOOK Our FOR THE BooM.-The
sunbury Boom, in the river above Northumber-
land, has been further extended across the stream
the past year, and if our raftmcn do not look out
in time they will find themselves and their RATS
"boomed" before they know what they are about
II seems to be the design Of our down-river poo-
pie to place all the obstrucions in the river they
can to impede and jcopardirc the business Of the
raftmen and get possession Of their property
The Boom in question now extends nearly across
the river above Turtle Creek, and RATS must be
run close to the right hand shore to keep out of
the Boom,

DIVIDING THE SpoILs.-Our neigh
bors down the river in Clinton took vote on To-
cal option last week. The city Of Lock Haven
gave majority Of IT'S for license and the balance
of the county gavea majority of 76s against IL
censc, Lock Haven will therefore have "some-
thing to take" while the rural portions Of the
county will be compelled to "dry up"

The movement should know and understand the
policy of the directors Of the pennsywanla rail-
road company, in reference to the construction Of
lateral or branch roads, aud the relation the cit-
rcns or property holders along tho lines where
these branch roads arc to bO built sustain toward
the company. Tho idea must be embraced by
those residing along the line and at the terminus
Of tho proposed road that It's construction must
be ontored into mutually and Il built for tho bon
eft Of ALL II IN notorious that branch railroads
do not pay anything to the stockholders for many
years aftor they arc built, aud II Is equally noto-
rious that ovory acre Of land and every house and
lot slargcly enhanced in value by tho construction
Of railroad through any section Of this or any
other State. To be still more pointed. We will
venture that farm lying between this place and
Curwcnsville, which has heretofore been valued
at from three to four thousand dollars, would be
enhanced fifty per cent. within one year after the
road Is made, and tho value Of every house and
lot in Curwcnsville doubled, while the road itself
would not pay anything to the company for years.
If this is proper view Of the case, why higgle
and delay about subscribing toward the grading,
bridging and right Of way3 What the required
sum is we know not. But unless this Is done, the
road will not be built for some years to conc.
There are few in our midst who prognosticate
a falling OF in business and the value Of property

This is n fallacy. The interests Of tho two places

sense about this matter. Railroads must be got
ten up on the same plan as we build churches
school houses, etc. We must subscribe land then

the road is completed to Curwensville, we want Il

The Atlantic Disaster.

down to the wreck Of the Atlantic, Monday
in a divers costume, says the hull lies well
down on the port side, and is broken in sew

particles offood found foatiugaround. Limbs
are strewn around, having been broken from
the dead bodies from the continual action
of the waters, which, when agitatel, drive
against the ugly pieces of the hull that here
project. The correspondent then went by
the companion way to the steeraee cabins
aud found hundred or more bodies living
IN an immense heap, looking as if alive,
with arms dislocated, eyes staring wildly.
faces grinning and moving backward and
forward with the undercurrent; some we're
dressed, but some were half nude; children
we're clinging TO mothers, stout men were
eosping their wives, seeming to have met
death with calm resignation, The scene
was horrible beyond description. The cor.
respondent then went to the companion way
OF the steerage, where the men passengers
were by themselves. Bodies Of strong men,
old and young, were hustled together in the
stairway with distended nostris, gaping
mouth and staring, CLASSY eyes, giving some
conception of the terror which seized them
as they vainly struggled to gain the deck
From another part of the vessel view
was obtained of the sleeping apartment
where, piled up in heaps on the port side,
were numbers Of bodies of men with bed

The faces OF many others were bruised and

brigham YOung's Manifesto.

A correspondent Of the New York Her.
aid has interviewed Brigham Young, and,
at the suggestion Of the former the latter
has written a statement Of the affairs of
his com munity, which is published
He explains his recent retirement from
the secular responsibilities of his position,
as being accustomed purely by desire for
relaxation, which his age, ~ years, war.
rants him in indulging he however retains
intact his spiritual authority as head of the
Church, by which means The tithes paid by
his followers to the Church, an immense sum
are yet to run through his fingers. The
drudgery OF the business he simply shifts
upon younger shoulders.
lie still persists in his intention of col
ouizing Arizona with Mormons, and says
he means to place there most of his con-
yerts who arrive from the old world. lie
shrewdly suggests that it is for the benefit
Of the entire country to allow him to open
up this territory to civilization, and points
with pride to the blooming paradise he has
made out Of the desert which he found
Utah.
He next proceeds to assert the stability
and soundness of his banking and mercan.
tile system, and invites capital from all
the rest of the world to come to his place
where property is better protected and
less harrassed by taxation" than in any
other section of the country, Every dol.
ar of his own property is invested in Utah,
and if he did not think it desirable place
for investment, he would most certainly
send it elsewhere, as he might easily do.
Ia conclusion, Brother Brigham WAKES
eloquent, and, summing up the results Of
his life-wOrk, confidently appeals to the
calmer Judgment of the future for the vim
dication Of his course, and the justification
Of his secular and spiritual enterprises.
In fact, the letter is just about what
might have been expected from such a
hardened old sinner as he is, but bears
throughout the evident impress of a man
of brains, who has wrested success from
the hardest conditions of life. He is ter.
ribly wicked, sure enough, but he is smart

to the Springfield RepuJlica,, not only are
the negroes in great majority in the South
Carolina Legislature, but they actually do
the business, -or originate It and carry it out.
Their leaders are men of pretty fair abili-

legislators of Pennsylvania in morals. Race
feeling comes out only occasionally and is
as likely to be exhibited against the mulat'

looked down upon by the almost blacks
Thus the dominant race splits into its own
factions, just as in cities where the Irish
vote is regnant mans prospect for office
depends on what part Of Ireland he came
