New CUMBERLAND, ". Va, August H.
Having spent the present week at New
Cumberland am prepared to say that it Il
one Of the most pleasant places in many
respects that l have ever been permitted tt
visit. The people are generous and hos
pitAble, and the place itself most beauti
fulone, is calculated to make person fee
well repaid for the pains OF coming.
The great industries Of the place, fire
brick and tiling, sewer piping, and the
manufacture Of carbon are all in full blast
wAile quite a number OF dwelling houset
are in process OF erection. Your CORES.
pondent OF this place and ]. A Campbell
Esq, are erecting fine twostory building
to be used as postotfice and bank. The

and will be furnished with fine burglar.
proof safe.
The school building, already one OF the
finest in the State, will be further improved
at once by the erection OF two wings Of two
rooms each, which will add much to its
appearance. -......
Prof. o. s. Marshall is principal Of the
school. He is u graduate Of the West Lib.
erty Normal School, and OF Bethany Col
lese, and, though young man, he already
ranks among the very best educators Of the
State. The school, under his management,
cannot fail to be success.
A SUGGESTION. TO REPUBLICANS.
Itwas my pleasure to spend some time
with the genial, good nstured John A.
Campbell, Esq., who, by the way, is just
now one Of the leading men OF our State.
He is staunch Republican, and it seems
to me is the very man to,head the ticket in
1884. He is so modest that he would not
seek such position, and, perhaps, he may
not thank me for the suggestion, but do
suggest to the careful consideration OF the
party that there is no more worthy gentle.
mau on whom tue honor could fall, and
none who would more surely lead the party

John II. Atkinson, Esq, is the same ear
nest uncompronising Republican as he
was in days Of yore, and he expects to die
in the faith. His residence Is among the
finest in the place, and in it he enleftainE
his friends royalty.
l Icalled several times during the week a

Brown brothers always busy. They have

The opinions OF the Republicans OF thi

Major Lee, OF the University, attended two
days and gave valuable assistance. Johr
Morrow, Superintendent OF the Allegheny

Fifth ward school Of the same city, were
present during one afternoon and took ar
active part in the proceedings.
The turn out Of the citizens was large
especially at the night sessions.
