N AND DEMOCRAT, BIOoMsBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA |

Last fall the Columbia county court made
decree for the construction Of road from
the State road near Numidia TO Roaring
Creek, the Northumberland county line,
with the expectation that the movement
would be seconded by similar act on the
part of our own county officials. Nothing,
however was done. At the solicitation OF
the farmers Of the Numidia section Post
master Brofee is now securing signatures
to a petition to be presented to Judge
Rockefeller asking for decree which will
take up the construction of the road where
Columbia's work ends and bring the thor.
oughfare TO MT. CARMEL a distance of three
miles. 1t is estimated that the road can be
constructed for $500 per mile. This would
require an outlay Of $1,000, an insignificant
sum, when IL is remembered that rich ag
ricultural region would be brought eight
| miles nearer our doors, and the travelling
public saved eight hard miles in journey
ing to Catawissa, Bloomsbury and othel
points. 1t is so seldom that any county
| improvements are asked for in this enc
that we feel assured that a proper prescn
| tation of the subject to the county Officials
will meet with favorable action.-M. Car

Lives of the Candidates.
A TIMELY AND DIaNIFIKD WORK BY W. U. HEN
Sell AND GEORGE F. PARKER.

Sell AND GEORGE F. PARKER.
An agreeable variation from the hack
neyed eulogies of campaign literature is
furnished in the Lives and Public Services
of Grover Cleveland and Allen G. Thur
man" by William Uhler Hensel, ex-Chair-
man of the Democratic State Committee OF
Pa, and George F. Parker managing edi-
tor of the New York Press.
At this late day anything like eulogy OF
Grover Cleveland would be work Of gro
tesque supererogation, and yet, inevitably,
one feels that the nearer glimpse of the
man afforded by this work must elevate
him in the esteem of all thinking men.
This is not work of apology for any OF
Mr.. Cleveland's acts; and yet, the real facts
of certain parts of his life which have been
seized upon by his enemies to belittle him
or put him in an undivided light, show
very clearly good purpose and clear
sense.
From first to last it may truthfully be
said that Office has sought Grover Cleve-
land at first, indeed, in vain, as when, in
1867, he declined the U. s. Assistant Dis
trio. t:.Attorneyship for the Northern New
York district. But on January /, 1882,
when he became Mayor Of Buffalo, 1t was
with the approval of the largest majority
the city had ever given.
The kind of political availability" which
consists in official integrity has always
| been that for which Mr.. Cleveland was
known. His career as Mayor, the acts
which have just been recited and which
| characterize the whole of his official life
were of the sort which rendered him "avail
1882, the year of political change and up
heavel, favored the man of destiny.

Cleveland belongs to the history of thu
nation, and it is needless to rehearse it il

raphy, however, upon Mr.. Cleveland
work as Governor, being largely a matte
OF fact. is well worth reprinting.

If Davy Boonton, of Lewisburg, former
ly of this place, tells the truth, says the
Northumberland Press, he had thrilling
experience with a highwayman on Blue
Hill, on last Sunday while on his way with
a horse and buggy to the colored camp
meeting at Clements park. Davy was
alone in the buggy, and when he reached a
lonely place on the road he met stranger
on foot, and while endeavoring to show
courtesy to the footman by turning to one
side of the road, the footman in turn took
advantage of the kindness and grabbed the
reins of the horse and at the point Of re-
volver commanded Davy to deliver up his
loose wealth or die. Davy being little
slow in disgorging, and while planning
what course to pursue to retain one OF the
two dollars he had in his pocket, the high
wayman gave him to understand that he
would not stand any trifling by firing a
shot over Davys head. The shot brought
Davy to time, and he handed his cash,
without making any division, and his
watch and chain, to the robber. When
Davy reached Northumberland his coun-
tenance bore pitiful expression, which
led us to believe that he told the truth
about the attack.
David will be well remembered at this
place, he having been employed as porter
| at sew raj of our hotels at different times.
He made great record for himself as a
baseball player while here.

1t would be almost impossible to bestow
too much praise upon the side-spltting
musical comedy now running at the Grand
under the title of "a Cold Day, or the Lap
landers." 1t is the greatest of the Grand
season for amusing situations, and yet
throughout there is nothing but refined
cast to the mirth-provoking scenes. In
addition to the comedy element of the
piece, each act is favored with number
of popular songs which always win favor
with an audience, and especially where the
company possesses so many really good
voices. Some of the renditions were sn-
perb, and an encore was responded to after
each. The charming little songster, Zoe
Prouty, fairly captured every heart in the
audience by her exquisite rendition of the
song "rm so Shy" Nothing more TAX
ing has been given here for some time. AS
comedians, Messrs. Lessenger and Samp'
son are fine, und keep the audience in a
constant state of merriment. Individually
and collectively, the company is unusually
strong, and this will surely be one of the
great weeks at the Grand. The audiences
yesterday were large and appreciative. The
same bill this afternoon and tonight.-Oht
