SHENANDOAH, Pa, July 1.-THE Lithu-
anians still persist in their endeavors to
have the Rev. Alexander Lanarkwez re-
moved from this parish, and the feeling
manifested toward him on their part has in
nowise lessened during the week. On Tues
day morning, upon the pastors trying to
enter the church to read mass, as is his daily
custom, he again found the church gates
locked with padlocks, and it was impossible
to enter the building until long after the
usual hour, when the shackles upon the gate
were broken. The priest informed the Chief
Burgess of the fact, and a guard is nightly
watching for repetition of the act.
The woman who was so terribly injured at
the riot Sunday before last, still remains at
the point of death, and upon her fate de-
pends to a great extent another uprising
Archbishop Wood has not sent a coniessor TO
the woman,a and this negligence, as the Lith-
uanians term it, on his part is not at all
pleasing TO the boisterous faction. A state
Inent arpeared in the local paper yesterday
signed cover 900 Lithuaniahs," setting
forth their standing in connection with the
riot atd their present wants, and to-day and
this evening the Lithuanian leaders, Miller,
Outchchrich; Marrusk, and Zonules, are
going around among TIE business men of
the borough; both Protestant and Catholic,
securing their signatures to q petition to the
Archbishop. The petition states that its
object is to settle the religious difficulty, and
adds that change of pastor will do it. Our
people are so tired of the difficulty and the
excitement attending it that Il Is being
largely signed by all CLASSES OF the people.
Another petition was forwarded to the Arch
bishop to-day, signed by 2ST Lithuanians;
stating their unwillingness to remain longer
under the care of the present pastor: They
allege that they find 10 fault with him as d
priest, but oppose him simply because he
| does not talk their language.
| In a conversation with your correspondent
to-day Father Lanarkwiez said that he was
| sick and tired of the trouble, but, he adj,
| ded, "what can do am here by the will
| Of the Archbishop and l cannot leave until
he says so." He said that he was doing all
| in his power TO pour oil on the troubled
water by bringing the two factions of his
church to a reconciliation, but it seems that
| his efforts are without avail, as they are as
widely separated as they were ON the Sum
day of the riot. The two elements do not
| speak or associate with each other; and the
Lithuanian element will not attend church
until their requests are granted.

WadsvOrth valley.
PENN FORREST TOWNSHIP.

lFNN tNhhol lONNohlIs
To THE EDITOR OF The ADVOCATE: A few
lines from Penn Forest may be of some in
terest to your readers.
This valley of choice and fertile farming
lands is at present undergoing some rapid
changes. The lands are eagerly sought af-
ter by settlers, and buildings and improve
ments ere going up on all sides. And it
seems to me that this is good judgment on
the part of the settlers. They prefer it to
going West, because the soil is excellent and
the Water unsurpassed, and because they can
remain near the great centres of commerce
and civilization, and because, when they
have any thing to sell, they are at the door
Of one Of the best markets in the world.
These latter considerations are generally
wanting in the far West. These lands can
be bought on easy terms at from 50 TO Sc
per acre. Mr.. Rapsher, of your borough, is
at present erecting some fine buildings ON q
choice tract containing more than 400 acres;
such as a house, barn, spring house, &C., &C.,
and, am informed, intends TO clear and put
out in crops this fall about go acres. Daniel
Eastman, ESQ., formerly your wealthiest
and most energetic business man, is occupy
which there is already erected a suitable
house and barn and a fine young orchard.
Mr.. Eastman is also clearing about 80 acres
this year. Gen. Charles Albright is also
clearing q tract of land in the neighborhood, A,
about one-half mile from Mr.. Rapsher's,
and intends to build either this fall or next
spring. The Hon. Allen Craig, | am told,
also contemplates making some improve
ments in the vicinity: | almost forgot to
mention that Adam Christman, ESQ.,; is
building most mammoth barn this sum-
mer. 1t is so by 100 feet and will be the
largest and best built barn in Carbon coun-
ty. There are numerous other parties who
are clearing, building and improving on
small tracts of land of from 80 to so acres.
There are already enough actual settlers to
entitle them to a public school house, there
being 80 children of the legaI age TO attend
school.
There is an old farm right in the neigh
borhood of so acres Which has been cleared
and improved 5 years, which will give any
one an idea of the ppture of the soil and
the kind of crops that can be raised there on
the surrounding lands. The crops this year
look rich and bourtiful These lands are
located about five miles from Weissport and
four miles from East Mauch Chunk. 1t is
strange that these lands should have lain
unimproved so long.
Wadsworth Valley has the soil and ad-
vantages to become, in few years, the rich
est and most attractive agricultural region
in Carbon county. DANNER.

A Visit to Our Industrial Estab
IiShrnenIS.

Wednesday morning, for the purpose Of
learning the present and prospective condi-
ton Of business, representative of the AD-
voCATE visited various business places in
Weissport and Lehighton.
Dropping into the Weissport Planning
Mill, which has lately changed hands; we
were pleasantly greeted by Mr.. John Biery.
He said that they were at present doing
some work, and in two weeks expected to
have the establishment steadily working.
He said that there was some building to be
done, that they would get their share, and
they thought that in two months business
would be much better
The Fort Allen Foundry has a force of
men steadily working, some of the work
they are turning out being sewing machine
castings. We learned that business was i'm
proving. The Messrs. Miners seemed to be
hopeful Of the future, having received by
letters from New York intelligence that
business was " good with them" (the parties
writing the letters, and, said the elder Mr..
Miner, " We are connected; when business
is good with them, it is good with u.s."
At the Lehigh Valley Emery Wheel
Works, where they are making some i'm
provements in style of work, etc, we were
pleasantly received by L. L. Wills, ESQ,
by whom we were shown through the es-
adjustment. Mr.. Wills said that business
was good now, and that there were pros
poets of q GOOD trade in the fall He
thought that the Lehigh Valley had suf-
fered more than other parts of the country ;
vet, through all the hard times, they had
moro than made expenses. If there wasn't
money in business, he said, they wouldn't
be working. The gentleman also stated
| that business men were buying very closely;
that from extravaganza many had gone TO
the other extreme,-economy had run into
stinginess, and that this hurt business at
