i. &. & s. G.. r. r. ITEMS
The Board of Directors rule that
Mr.. Thompson is ineligible to the
Office of Director, because he has a
contract. II. ii. Duncan was ap-
pointed to fill the place.
AS we understand it the Board
did not pass a resolution to continue
track laying to Centre Hall, this fall g.
1t was only referred to committee,
to be acted upon at some special
meeting. They say the money is
about exhausted, and we have an
idea that that little circumstance
will sadly interfere with the early
extension of the road beyond Spring
Mills However we don't pretend to
be "booked."
We can assure'our correspondent
Anon and other Brush Valley friends
that they can safely dismiss all fears
as far as rail road collision on the
L. &. s. s. G. r. r., on the Fourth,
is concerned. We have a letter
from Col. Moore, dated the 26th
in which the details of the Excur-
sion are fully given. The trains will
hOU IuH ldSG, ttllu Will pass ctICu
other at Laurelton or Cherry Run
siding. No collision can Occur.
Regular passenger cars will be pro-
vided for ladies. Come along,
friends.
Moore & Sons, rail road contract
Ors, are doing their level best to COM
plete the track to Spring Mills, by
the Fourth, and the chances are that
they will reach it. But whether they
do or not, it will not prevent the ex-
curSion to Laurelton.
r.. r. Bridgens & Co. have the
Contract for the building of the De-
pots at Forks and Spring Mills.
We understand that the work is to
he commenced at once.

THE FOURTH AND THE EXCURSION.

We have q letter from Col. Slifer,
President of our rail road, under
date of the 22nd in which he says:
"Our first thought was to bring
your people here on the 4th of July,
but that would involve two trips.
In the unfinished condition of our
road we will have to run very slowly
and two trips, each loaded, would
consume too much time, and would
necessarily hasten you and protrac I
our stay to probably q late hour.
We nope to have our road done in
July, and will get you train to
join us in q Grand HdrreSt Home
celebration early in August.
Trust we shall meet you and our
friends generally, on the 4th when
we can talk this matter over. The
people of this county will give you
Il hearty reception whenever it will
he convenient for you to come"
We fully appreciate the kind feel
ingS of Col. Slifer toward orr people,
and it pains uS.that we must forego
the pleasure of meeting him and
others at Spring Mills, on the Fourth.
Op. people,,h have waited with Il pa
tience that job might have envied
for an opportunity to have an eX-
ursion and it would be cruel to deny
them the pleasure.
Mary of them never saw 4 rail
road, even, and their anxiety for Il
trip has reached its utmost tension.
Our excursion is promised and ar
ranged and must proceed. However
under all circumstances, Let us
have peace"

The Republican Press and party
do not like Mr.. Tilden's recent
speech one particle, and it Is no won-
der. They know that they are in
unjust, if not illegal possession of
the Federal government, with its
vast patronage and many offices,
anu II lrritates them to be reminded
OF the Great Fraud that keeps them
In power against the large majority
Tor Tllden. They vince and squirm
at the slightest allusion TO the mat
ter.
No doubt that kind, amiable gen.
tieman. Mr.. Hayes, feels the aching
totd of good tithe-a title based on
the w Ill of the majority-more keen
ly than any man. Ii is said that
ne appears haggard and care-worn.
He courts the good will of the people
In every possible way. Promises,
and partially enforceS, civil service
reform. He makes tours, east and
south, mingles with the masses in
order to gain their respect and love,
but It will not avail He will pass
into history as the fraudulent Pres
ident."
The great Henty Clay once said !:
II would rather be right than Pres
ident. Mr.. Hayes would rather be
President than right. He has his
choice and with it the consequences.

AWFUL FIRE AT ST. JOHN, n. B.
THREE FOURTHS OF THE TOWN
DESTROYED.
Great loss or Life and Property.

st. John, n. b., June q. Yester-
day afternoon at about ~ O'Clock, a
fiie broke out in McLaughlin's Boil
er works, at York Point, an outskirt
OF the city. The flames were fed by
sharp northwest wind, anil soon
spread into and over the business
part of the city. In q short space
OF time Market Street, Market
Square, Dock Street, Pr. Williams
Street, Water Street, King Street
King Square, German Street, Can
terbury Street, Princess Street.
Duke Street, Charlotte Street, Or
ange Street and the whole of Cove
district, Sydney and Cormarthen
Street, were a sea of fire and are now
q mass OF ruins. Is churches, hO-
tels. printing offices, 7public build
lrgs and not less than SO large busi-
ness houses, have fallen victims to
the flames. Several large ships in
the harbor are also burned up. Ten
lives were lost. The loSs of proper
ty is estimated at 10 to Is millions
OF dollars, while the insurance will
hardly cover millions.
Every street, square and alley is
hiled with furniture and thousands
OF people are without either food or
Shelter. The International Com
pany's steamer New York sheltered
and fed 600 persons last night, and
the vessels in the stream have large
mum bers of people on board. ThOus-
ands had to get away from the
lower part of the city by boats. Wo-
men and children are IN the streets
crying fer bread, and the scene beg
gars description.

A thousand seats will be provided
so that none need fear of being left
behind. The celebrated Millheim

and fears 50 long have clustered.
Tickets for the round trip will be so

Schoch, of the MHinbuy Ttle-

about their proposed excursion to
Spring Mills, ON the Fourth. He
threatens To print about column
of names, bring some five bands and
at least twenty-five speakers for the
"QlOriouS 'cdSiOn, ,"-and all from
little Union county. The fellow
is absolutely getting dGngerS0me, and
we call upon our friend, Geo. w.
Foote, to take charge of him. The
way he talks Is enough to throw us
folks up here ont of our equilibrium,
and so we concluded to have moth
ing to do with that crowd, but get
UP an excursion OH our own hook.
OF course We have but one band but
that is good one, and the one, or at
most two speeches, will of course be
of the same quality.

Mr.. Tuten, of the BeUffoute Re

matter to fill his paper, when he ad-
mits into his columns such stuff as
a certain correspondent WHO signs
himself wyoming" and pretends
to write from Millheim, sent to that
paper last week. What possible good
can be accomplished, we ask Mr..
Tnten, by calling people such pet
names as "idiOtic maniacs" and
"consummate asses ?" Such Ian
guage may serve the person using it
the same purpose as does a safety
valve at a steam engine-keep the
biter from bursting, but it is certain
ly out of place in such q high-toned
journal as the Republicdu pretends
to be. wyoming" purports to
write from Millheim, but that's too
thin. The language is too coarse
and vulgar for this locality. If Col.
Coburn feels very thankful for such

take the nlau. That's all.

WAKE UP.

The rail road is coming, that is,
trains will soon be erunning, so wake
upl H we as q town and community
would realize the full benifitS which
the railroad, in conjunction with our
favorable location for trade and bus
iness, Justify us to expect, we must
hestir ourselves and make judicious
use of the means at hand to secure
those benefits. If we expect the
travel and trade of our neighboring
townships and valleys, we must
show that we deserve ii. 1t will
not do to stand around idly, hands
in pockets, expecting the rail road
to bring us riches. without an effort
on our part. We must soake up.
The old, accustomed ruts of twenty
and thirty years ago, must be dis
carded. and we must take d new de.
parture-in busineSS-in schools and
i'll educational matters-in public en-
terprises generally.
The several roads that approach
town, should be put in good condi.
tion. The turnpike companies
should be urged to improve their
roads, in anticipation of increasing
tAGNCl tAA1h 4OtCuuCs duu ESACG1dll1
should the new road to the depot be
opened and completed as soon as
possible.
In town there is much room for
Improvement. For instance, we
should have good, substantial side
walks throughout, not for our own
comfort only-but to make our place
agreeable and attractive to others
whom we expect to come here on bus
iness or pleasure. We should not
stand on a few dollars of cost in this
and other needed improvements, but
give literally according to our means,
to every useful enterprise. We can
not all have fine, snowy houses or
places OF business, because the most
or us are poor, or at best in very
moderate circumstances; but we can
maintain some order and neatness In
whatever we do possess or occupy.
There is no excuse even for a poor
man, to suffer premises, out-build-
ings, fences and sidewalks to dilapi-
date and 60 to decay.
Many other points might be touch
cd, but as we have much more to say,
we will resume the subject again.

1t almost seems as if John Bull
had nothing else to do just now than
to fete and toast and dine and lioniZe
generally, a certain Mr.. Grant, late
President of the u. ). Ii all this
useless and nonSensical fuss is in
tended as personal compliments to
the great smoker, itmay be all right
and answer the same purpose to the
British Lords and Peers as any
other innocent paStime. But if it is
seriously intended as complimentary
to us as a nation, it fails most Woe
fully of its object. Grant was a fair
general but a miserable failure as
President. His administration has
She unenviable distinction of having
been the mos corrupt of any the
nation ever had.

Some folks manage to have vaca-
tion all the year round, while poor
printers have only two, and
very short ones ut that, the
weeks in which occur the 4th of July
and Christmas. So there will be no
Journal next week, neither will there
be any job work done for friend or
foe. The only items of business we
could be prevailed uuon to transact
would be to take in orders for jobs,
cash, and fill up receipts, and we
don't even care to be bothered with
that, but hope many of our friends
will take time by the fore lock and
call around this week. We are short
come.

REBERSBURG FRAGMENTS

Notwithstanding the unsettled
state of the weather, farmers are be-
ginning to NOW.
The leading question at present
is, are you going to the Grand Pic
mic on the Fourth !? Judging from
the answers given to this question,
our valley will be fairly represented, !,
yet our delegation would be larger
were it not for the report that sever
al trains will be run and that a COL
lision might occur.
On Saturday evening our town
was enlivened with sweet strains of
music, displayed by a few Italians
whose instruments consisted of a
harp, violin and flageolet.
The German Reformed Church is
approaching completion, making the
fourth i'll our town, whereas one
might do, were it not for the follies
of humanity. Truly, Rebersburg is
becoming the town of churches, as
PoughkeepSie is the town OF schools
and colleges.
