EDITOR Pass: my last, / spoke
of the number of dry goods stores, in
Somerset when / came here, and that
they all appeared to be doing a good,
living business. At that time, there
was heavier trade than now, for the
reason that there was no pike, but only
a mud road, between Lancaster and
GAINESVILLE. Consequently in muddy
seasons, farmers had to deposit their
trade with the merchants in Somerset,
from the adjoining townships. Nor
was their any huckstering carried on
through the country like there ia at
this time. Part of Thorn, all of Hope
well, Madison, part of Harrison, Clay
ton, Jackson and all of Readlng-traded
in Somerset, and that state of affairs
was kept up till this pike was complet-
ed, and Somerset locked up at both ends
by tollgates, which drove the farmers to
seek trade in Rushville and Uniontown,
where they would have no toll to pay
And I often thought that the business
men in Somerset, stood very much in
their own light TO allow those gates TO re-
main where they are, being loss to the
business of Somerset of not less than two
hundred thousand dollars since the
pike and gates were completed. The
merchants traded for the products of the
country-paid dry goods for them.
These products were wagoned to Balti
more in six horse teams, belonging to
Jacob and Sam Brechbill, and their
goods brought out by the same convey
ance. The Ginning of the bells of those
teams made Somerset seem Ikea busi-
meas place. Trade in those days was low.

Produce taken in

The impression seems to prevail here
about that Andy Leach possesses, in
marked degree, some of the elements of
great American orator, and that his
maiden effort at the court house, on the
occasion of the first financial meeting
there, was the only speech delivered
that evening that touched bottom. After
repeated calls, Andy arose and said,
"that he never before had tried to make
a speech and hardly knew what to say,
but would observe that great trouble
with him was a scarcity of marketabi
productions to sell. He had found like
his neighbors, money was scarce, yet
when ever he had anything to sell he
could get the cash at pretty fair price,
and he seemed of the opinion if we had
enough of the staple products to sell
that times would not be so very unen-
durable"
DIR. Kagay, it is said, at once bounced
into this speech. and went through it
like a tornado through Il deadening,
tearing it to flinders, and tossing the de
bris aloft and right and left, leaving in
his rear, a sad spectacle of huge confus-
ion, the various timbers that but a mo-
ment before composed the fair fabric
reared by Brother Leach. But we are
not without hope that Andy will recov-
er, and upon some other suitable occas-
ion again come to the front and present
his views upon the perplexing question
of finances at greater length.
It is easy to answer speech, but to
refute the argument of it, is quite an
other matter. Short as it was, Andy q
speech contained an argument which,
to most men, looks vastly like solid
fact, and it will take some thing more
than an genealogical hurricane to dis
| integrate it,

Monday evening, 9th inst, after brief
and painful illness, aged IA years. 1t
was apparent from the violence of the
disease with which rhe was attacked
brain fever-that she could not recover,
and although every effort that could be
prompted by medical skill and loving
heakts and hands was made, she was
gone. Imie WAS a bright and amiable
girl of kind and loving deposition. Her
loss will not only be deplored by her fam
lily but by numerous friends particularly
her school associates, to whom she was
an object of love and affection.
On Tuesday morning, lmie's desk at
