The Railroad War in PENNSYLVANIA md

The New York II AID has a d!spAtch from

gress between the Pennsylvania Central and

panies, Thomas \, scott, Esq, being command
er-ln-ehief on tie one side, and John W Gar
rett, Esq, on the other. The Mount Pleasant
Branch, the bone Of contention" il chiefly
valuable to Mr.. CARROTS company on account
OF the facilities which it affords for the trans
portatlon OF coke to the main branch from the
coal hills OF WestmorelaRd county. Mr.. Scott's
company having built the South Pennsylyania
road from Greensburg to ConnesYille desired
to make the Mount Pleasant Brauch tributary
TO their road, and with the consent Of the own
-ors Of tho road inaugurated the proceedings
which eliminated in the tearing up OF the track
and the eHecting Of junction, against the
wishes OF the lessees, and as is alleged in dero-
CATION OF their rights 1t is said that the war
has also broke ont at Newark, Ohio. The Pan
HanJ lie road Mr.. ScJtt's) and the Baltimore and
Ohio use tho same track between Newark and
columbus (3S miles) and it is said that Mr.
Garrett has ordered the switch uniting the
tracks to be removed and the junction 10 be dis
continued We have not been advised as to
whether the order has been carried into effect
or not.
The. Baltimore sun speaks Of these reports a.
sensational, and defends the Baltimore and OHIO
railroad company, saying - it is very safe to
presume that any action by the company to
MAINTAIN what 1t may think to be it's rights will
be both peaceful and legal. As there has been
no meeting Of tho board Of directors here since
the Mount Pleasant seizure, the absurdity Of

A simple little sentence is this, to be sure and
yet 1t may be considered az one Of the most in.
sldions enemios with which people have to deal.
IL Is very pleasant to have all the little conn
modltles offered for sale in the market, and if
Is sometimes hard to deny ones self Of the same
when they eau be obtained by saying charge
it, But this habit Of getting articles. however
small the expense may b , without paving for
them, keeps ones funds in a low state most Of
the time.

like the article much, says young man. WHO
happens into store, and sees something which
strikes his fancy.
" Never mind, says the gentlemaaly clerk, -
You are good for il.

And 80 it is that little accounts are opened at
one place and another, until the young man is
surprised at his liabilities which, though small
IN detail, are sufficiently large in the aggrega
TO reduce his cash materially when settling day
comes In many instances if the cash were re-
qured, the purchase would not be made even
had the person the money by him; but to some.
getting an article charged does not soem like
parting with an equivalent Still. when paw day
comes, as always 1t does, this illusion vauishes
and feeling is experienced of parting with
money and receiving nothing in return.
II there Is an actual necessity OF making a
purchase, and the means arc not at hand there
Is reasonable excuse for obtaining the same

the advantage Of the purchaser to do so.

And so they start life with debt hanging over
them for which there Is no occasion. The habit
once formed is difhoult to break away from. and
whenever anything is wished for. it Is purchased
without considering that circumstances may arise
which will render the payment Of the debts in
Cured imlossible. We're there a certainty Of
health and supply Of labor it would place rather
different construction upon the matter. But
considering the fluctuating character OF business
making II possible that mechanic may be thrown

better to be prepared for such emergencies by

Inundated, while the area of its neighbors was
very much curtailed by the encroaching water

were engaged in securing all the accessible wood.
Many cords were drawn to the shore.

suspend operations on account of the rise in the
Conodoguinnet. The Paxton lost all its identity

caused the stream to entirely disappear From

TIE BENDER Mt RDRRs-Ssicide Of Msn0s.-
BY letters and through the medium of one OF
our exchanges, we have received some more in
formation concerning the last reported act in
the great tragedy of southern kansss-the su-
icide OF Nicholas Minon. The people have be-
come interested 20 know what were the confess
sions made by him, which the telegraph 80
dimly limited at. The story As reported L. that
be admitted that he went south with the Bender
family soon after the murders in Kansas
and that he knew them, and that thew were
going from Dallas TO kaufman. lie SAYS that
Bender acknowledged there have been iI0 men
killed IN Kansas. IL does not seem from the in
telligence yetreceived that Nj non had anything
10 do with the murders as accessory before
the fact, but IL would appear that he in some
manner got into their confidence afterw ard and
buried in his bosom the dreadful secrets re-
vealed. When he did make them public and
found that the eye of suspicion was fastened
upon him, and that United States detective
was watching him, and would not let him get
of at Caddo, and that he was even suspected OF
being one of the Blenders, despair seized him
and he rashly took his own life. The crcum-
stances were that the prisoner was seated i'm the
passenger car. IL was not known 20 the United
states detective, who was logging his every
step and watching all his motions rat he had .
weapon concealed on his person. He suddenly
drew Smith & wesson pocket-pistOl. placed
