Editor Nenftnei s. Repu5iioca-Dear
Sir:-That must be an inactive com-
munity, indeed, where nothing is being
done the year round worthy OF notice
in si.e local papers.
We do not claim Tor tae people OF
Oriental to be the most active, but ye,
We do not lie entirely dormant. Farm
ers are busy preparing their laud for
fall seeding, and the indications are
that an average extent of acreage will
be brought under the plow.
The corn crop is the most promising
we had for many years, and potatoes,
l suppose, will yield an average crop,
while apples are unusually plenty,
bringing the price of cider within such
limits that those who have no orchards
can afford to buy it. Consequently
"aFple butter parties" will, suppose,
soon be the order of the-not day, but
night. Three of our citizens have
lately gone to Nebraska, to see the
country, with view of moving out
with their families, if they think
they eau better their condition.
George Zeller, one Of the parties, has
returned, saying he prefers Juniata
county to Nebraska; the other two,
Abel Shaeffer and Jacob Frymoyer, are
still out prospecting, aud have written
home glowing accounts of the prosperity
of the country and the lightning speed
with which men can gain wealth out
there. Hence We see that, as In the
past, so in the present, and no doubt
IN future, opinions of men will differ.
A short time ago Mr.. George Good
ling, near Oriental, while pointing rails
for post feLce, cut his foot with the
axe, entirely splitting 1; from the toes
to the instep. He is doing as we'll as
can be expected.
At the primary election for Susque-
hanna township on Saturday We had a
better attendance than We had at any
similar gathering since the organization
of the township, and every thing passed
off pleasantly.
Those Democrats who we're present
at the primary election felt bad, espe
cially that one who has changed so
often, when be saw the unanimity aud
the confidence pervading the Republic
can ranks merely wbistled to keep up
the spirit, bot l thought l saw tear
starting in his eye several times upon
being reminded Of his former good
works in the Republican party, the
good company he has left, and his pres
