The Star and Enterprise from Newville, Pennsylvania • 2

6ar Western Trip. ble note at no distant day. AS. OT. ITIIliLiER, Etlitor.

One of our exchanges publishes, between the notices of marriages and deaths, a list of persons who are 'engaged." If any of the young folks of Newville, who are "engaged" will give us notice to that effect, we will announce the same free of charge. Who will be the first? Don't "back out Get it. Willie Ware announces in our advertising columns that his new book will shortly appear. Wo hope many of our readers will secure this work, as it will be a valuable addition to every library. Send your name to the publisher at once, and when the book is published send the money and get it.

See advertisement. Coiumuiilcatcd. Messrs. Editors Iu glancing over the columns of tho Star last week, my attention was attracted by a communication over the sionature' of "Inquirer," and in which the author very un-courteously assumed the privilege of reflectimr upon some of the members of the "Young Men's Christian Association of Newville," and the liberty of speech is a prerogative which belongs to every citizen, so long as he chooses to speak with propriety, I hope you will allow me tho privilege of your columns, and bear wit'i me, while I briefly refer to some of "Inquirer's" interrogatories and suggestions, and in doing so, pardon me, if I intrude too much upon yonr time and patience, or make any undue or improper allusion to your inquiring correspondent for my object is simply, if possible, to answer his brief, though somewhat complex inquiry, as well as to exhonerate from eensure and imputation the members of the Association, whose action he has taken the liberty of animadverting upon. Iu his opening or Introductory remarks he propounds the momentous question, (for he says he has a substantial interest at stake,) '-what has become or the Young Men's Christian Association 1" and in reply to his interrogatory; I need only say, 'tis marvellous, nay, even passing strange, that a person so familiar with the doings of our town, should introduce through the public columns of the Star, an inquiry so strongly impregnated with a sense of the ridiculous, and so penfectly inconsistent with every principle of propriety and common sense, when without taxing the brains and patience of "Cribbs and Darby," he might have (by walking about thirty yards farter than tho printing office, to their room, on Monday evening of last week,) had furnished liiin ocular demonstration not only of its whereabouts, but also of its actual existence.

The Young men's Christian Association is not defunct, but still possesses all the principles of vitality, which characterized its earliest history, and we believe like the "stone, which was cut out of the movintain without hands" shall continue to roll on, and gather strength, until its great mission shall have been accomplished, while: some perhaps who identified themselves witli its early history, and who, as tho Apostle said of the Galatians, "did run well tor a season" may, Secure thr Shadow! Mr. A. W. Yaniall announces that Hie will be at Doubling Gap Springs, with his Sky Light Gallery. AVe can recommend him to all who want first class pic-lures.

Mr. Y. will return to Newville, with his wagon, at the close of the season and wait upon customers at Specse's Hotel. Rather Steep It is indeed singular that Express Companies make such high charges for carrying goods. We have to pay 37 cents for bringing a small package from Shippensburg to Newville, while the same package can be brought from Philadelphia for the samo amount of money.

New Pavements. P.rsons who intend to place new pavements in front dwellings, would do well to remember that Mr. Robert Mc-Ivor is prepared to attend to brick-laying at the shortest notice and unusually low rates. Having had consideinble experience in the business. Mr.

Mclvor can please all who may favor him with thir patronage. Accident. On the 1 2th as Mr. D. Fin- kinbinder of Dickinson township, was hauling a load of grain from the field, the wagon capsized, and Wm.

Throne who was on the load, was throw against a fence, and under the load. Considerable time was occupied in extricating him, when it was found that his collar bone was broken and his face seriously injured. Medical aid was summoned, anil Throne has nimost recovered. A son of Mr. Finkiubinder, being also on tlio load, as thrown over tlio fence, into an adjoining field, but was not seriously injured Fire.

On last Sabbath, about 10 o'clock, A. and jnsl as people were beginning to go to church, the frame wood-house of John S. Mor row was discovered to be on fire, and on the alarm being "hen our Engines were immediate ly on the spot, but the building being of combustible material, the flames made such rapid progress that it was impossible to check the fire till the building was entirely consumed. The fire was caused by tho proprietor's little son, four years of age, having thrown a lighted match into a box ol shavings that was placed in the building. Hurrah for our Club Our Independent Club will give ajjrard Exhibition at Doubling Gap Springs, within a week or two.

Ahead. John Throne, of Mt. Rock, raised, the present season, a stock of oats measuring 6 feet 7 inches in length. That is the largest we heard of this season. We have since received a stalk of oats from Mr.

James Myers, near Stoughslown, measuring the same as the above. JLocat arb MisccHji As printers' visits to any place more than two miles from home', are "few, and far between," it is generally expected that when they take a jaunt to the West.or in any other direction, a very extended notice of the same should be prepared for and published in the columns of the journals with which they may be connected. Yet we beg leave to form an exception to the rule or custom requiring a lengthy report of the scenes and incidents usual to such "voyages," and will only give our readers an idea of the location of various towns through which we passed, and the general appearance of the country, with, per haps a few incidents connected with our trip, However, the reader might bo tempted to in quire how we, one of the many poor, who earn our bread and butter by the "taxing of brains," could, in these hard times, command a sufficient amount of "spondulicks," with which to satisfy the demands of hungry railroad companies. We hope such questions will be settled when we state that we had our hat chalked over the principal railroads of the country, and rode free of charge in first-class cars I Who will say that "corporations have no souls 1" For this privilege our thanks are due the officers of the Pennsylvania Central, the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago the Beilfoutaine and Indianapolis, and the Columbus, Piqua and Indiana Railroads. Armed with railroad passes, we, in company with 'Squire Williams, of this place, made tracks for Newville Depot, on Tuesday, 10th of July, A.

D. 18G0, and took passage on tlio car of the C. V. R. R.

for Harrisbui'E. At Carlisle, our party (of two) received a valuable accession in the person of 'Squire Williams the 2d, and we proceeded towards the State Capital not how ever, without noticing the very heavy grain crops which wero being harvested on both sides of the railroad. We were told by the pleasant countenances of farmers that there was an abundance of wheat and rye, with a fair prospect of a large ield of oats and corn. During the short time the train stopped at Me- chnnicsburg, we could not help noticing the won derful changes that have taken place there. Instead of the little village of a few years ago, we see the beautiful town, composed of beauti ful buildings, which will compare favorably with those of large cities.

A short ride brought us to Ilarrisburg, the mighty city," which boasts of legislative halls and Slate offices. Business of every kind appeared very dull. Merchants could be seen in front of their stores, anxiously looking for a customer, and bar-keepers in the hotels had nothing to do. In fact, we never saw Harrisbura ooKing so mm at any oilier time, as it di.l on the 10th inst. At 4.30 P.

we started Westward on the "Fast Line" of the Penna. Central. Road. A ri le of 15 miles through a hilly district of country brought us to Duncannon, a town in Perry county, and celebrated for its iron-works. Twenty-nino miles further on, we found ourselves in Mexico, but were not attacked by the "Mexicans." Perhaps they were afraid to attack our train, although we had but one horse.

Mifllintown, the county-scat of Juniata, is a flourishing place, 5 miles from Mexico. Next is Lewistown, in Mifllin county. It contains a numbei of fine buildings, and is pleasantly located. In the vicinity of McYeylown, we notic ed some of the poorest land our eyes ever beheld. The "grain was scarcely wi-rth cutting, and the corn promises no yield.

Nothing but hills can be seen, and they are so high and steep that fanning there is almost impossible. Yet there are persons who "till the ground" there, notwithstanding the fact that no return can bo expected. Mount Union, Huntingdon, and other towns are passed, and we are brought to a stand in Altoona, a flourishing village at the base of the Allegheny Mountains. "Twenty minutes for supper" is the cry o( the conductor, and there a general rush for the hotels. An excellent meal can be had at one of them for 25 cents.

At the other the charge is "half-a-dollar." Of the manner in hich it is conducted, we know nothing. At tlio cry of "All aboard passengers has ten to the cars, and we are oil into the moun tains. As we cross at night, we cannot behold the grand scenery that is presented to the Tiew of daylight travelers. Forty miles from Altoona, we pass Johnstown, a placo somewhat noted for its iron-works, which can be seen in full blast, and present a beauti ful appearance to those who travel on the night trains. We pass Latrobe, Greensburg, Wilkinsbnrg and other towns, and at longth arrive in the "Iron City" a village that is not a very desira ble stopping-place on account of the great amount of smoke and dust which is encountered at every step.

Fortunately, we are just in time to take the train for Crestline, at 1 A. and are soon out of sight of Pittsburgh and its suburbs. Daylight finds us at Enon, a small town in the Buckeye State, sonio two miles from the Pennsylvania line. From this point to near Mansfield, a distance of about 130 miles, the land is mostly level, and in many places overgrown with bushes and wild plants of various kinds. However, we find villages quite numerous, and the people appear to be prospering.

Yet there is room for hundreds on the land that is uncultivated. In this' section we fiud the crops heavy, and the corn unusually large for this season of the year. On our route we pass Salem, Columbiana, Alliance, Canton, Massilon, Wooster and many other towns of considerable size, and all in a flourishing condition. Mansfield, in Richland county, is an attractive place, on account of its beautiful location. It has a population of with 70 stores, 11 churches, and a Union School, at which 900 children are in regular attendance.

Crestline is the next town of note. Although small, it is well knowD on account of its railroads. It is the place to change cars for five different routes. The population is only 2000 Crestline has 28 stores and 3 churches. We here take leave of the Ft.

W. C. and get aboard the train of the B. I. Road in the direction of Indianapolis, as after a ride of 4 nines arrive at Oalion.

This is a new tqwn containing a population of 2,500. It has 21 stores, 6 churcWe, foundry, machine shops, Wo believe Galion will be a town of considera Ten or twelve miles from Gallon, We reach what is termed "The riains," a vast tract of land similar to the prairie of the far Here the eye can travel a distance of several miles, without anything to obstruct the view ex cept perhaps, an occasional clump of bushes. Here we find the tassels and silk have appear ed on the growing corn, which, indeed, we con sider early, and far ahead of our corn in old Pennsylvania. Marion, a fine town, is located in this neigh borhood. It has 2,500 inhabitants, 34 stores, 4 banks, and 8 churches.

Some sixty miles westward is Bellefontaine, a town of some note, and at the junction of two railroads. It has a population of some 3000. In this vicinity is a number of lakes, covering from 2 to 70 acres each. Here we left the B. I.

Road, and went southward, to Uibana, in Champaign county. This town contains a University, and several other fine buildings. The surrounding country is one of the best in Ohio. Although there is a population of 4000 in Urba- na, that town appears to be a dull place. Its stillness is only marred by the arrival of trains on the railroads.

We took passage on the C. P. I. train for Columbus, passing through one of the richest valleys in the West. If farmers do not become wealthy there, they deserve to remain poor.

A ride of 40 miles brought us to Columbus, the capital of the Buckeyo State. It is a brisk place, when we consider the fact that it is an inland city. Columbus is situated on the east bank of the Scioto River, and is 500 miles from Philadelphia. It contains a population of 000. Among the public buildings is the Capi tol, which is the largest and grandest State-house in the Union.

We also find here the Pen itentiary, Lunatic Asylum, Institution for the Blind, Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Six fail-roads pass through the town. Columbus contains 27 churches, and 5 banks also 3 daily papers, 2 In-weeklies, 1 semi-weeklv, and weeklies. We remained there over night, and in company with our friend Dr. Peter Johnson visited various portions of the town. The citizens are a social set of people.

The noxtjmorning'we left for Piqua on the "accommodation''' train and reached that town as described in our letter last week. We paid a short visit to Troy, which is one of the prettiest towns in tho State. A large amount of business is transacted, and a spirit of enterprise is exhibited on every side. The land in the vicinity is of the richest quality. This will bo known from tho fact that in one large field 12 successive crops of corn have been raised, and the 43d is now growing The corn in that field, at the time of our visit, would average eight feet in height.

Mr. Isaac Ilousor has a field of coin which averaged over ten feet in height, dm fewer crops had been taken off. Mr. 11. had corn ready for the table a week ago.

We think that is slightly nliead of Cumberland count'. Pa. Ail hour's ride from Troy landed us at Sidney, where our letter of last week was written. This is a flourishing town, JO miles north of Dayton. Here wo found number of persons who had once been residents of Cumberland county.

Among them we might mention the family of our venerable friend Mr. George D. Leckey, who is well-known to many citizens of Now ville. Mr. L.

has a beautiful residence, and is living comfortably. Mr. James Irwin, formerly of Shippensburg, also resides in Sidney. We also found, here, Col. Elijah Zinn, ho spent his ear ly years in Newville.

Mr. Z. is extensively engaged in the Dry Goods business. We dropped into the extensive dry-goods store of our friend Geo. M.

Russell, and found him doing a brisk business. Mr. Russell gave us a handsome present for our "better half," for which wo hold him in grateful remembrance. Saturday night at 1 o'clock, we left Sidney for La Rue, in Marion county, and reached that placo ot 4 next morning. La Rue is a pretty village, and contains a set of whole-souled people.

It is in a good section of country, and promises to become a largo town. There are quite a number of I'ennsvlvanians located in La Rue. Monday, at noon, wo started for home fcn khe Fast Line. Reached Crestline at 1.40, and IPflta-btirg at 8.40 P. Ilarrisburg at next morning, and arrived in New ville at 10 traveling over 500 miles in 22 hours, including stoppages, and a delay of two hours at Ilarrisburg.

At Pittsburgh we took a berth in the sleeping car, and took a nap of 251 miles in length. A long nap There was considerable political exciteantit in Ohio, Meetings have been held iu almost every village, and poles have been raised, bearing the name of Douglas or Lincoln. In Crestline we noticed a mall and-pair of wedges suspended at a great heighth from the ground. The fight is generally confined to the Lincoln and Douglas parlies. Breckinridge and Bell have many friends, but they have not yet entered the field.

But this article is already too long, and we must close. Next week we may say something concerning the railroads over which our bat was chalked. Tornadoes Louisville, July 23. At half-past six o'clock yesterday afternoon, a tornado from the northwest unroofed buildings, and blew down trees. The depot at Braceville was destroyed, and two ladies killed.

Lucky Census Taker. The great majerity of the persons, says the Philadelphia Ledger, selected to take the census, find difficulty in getting the questions propounded replied to witli promptness, many persons not understanding the objects of the queries, while others look upon them as impertinent and when answered a spirit anything but accommodating is often mani feested. A remarkable departure from this rule occurred a few days since. One of the Census Takers left a circular at a gentleman's house to be filled, but the information sought for in that way was not obtained. After several calls, the Census Taker met the gentleman at his house and the information was piven.

After all the questions had been answered the census Taker was not only invited to take a drink, but a $10 gold piece was thrust upon him as a compensa tion lor ine trouble ot calling upon mm so often A Distinguished Visitor.

It is said the spectacle was most brilliant. At first it appeared like a globe of fire about the size of a man's head. It then seperated into two distinct globular bodies, a tail of light behind and traveling at a rapid rate through the heavens. Its course was direct from west to east. tSfThe Abolition party have called a convention to meet at Syracuse, N.

From the receipt book of a Western member of Congress The following is said to make a pleasant beverage: Take one pint of whiskey, stir in one spoonful of whiskey add one pint of whiskey and beat well witli a spoon. Take one gallon of water and let a servant carry it beyond your reach then put two spoonfuls of water in a tumbler, immediately throw it out and fill with whiskey.

Considerable excitement has been caused at Ogden, near Rochester, by finding several cattle killed near a swamp noted for snakes, principally large black snakes with yellow rings about their necks. The appearances of the cattle denote that the snakes fasten themselves around the necks of the cattle and strangle them to death. In the Lock Up.

But to Mr. Inquirer's Involuntary concession of a substantial interest in Tlio matter, we next refer, and cannot do it but with the most profound reveiance, for tis a solemn truth, and after all the grand object ot the Association, but what are they 1 not tho selfish vacillating interests of time which characterize and control the varied transactions of tho commercial and business mart; infinitely more than all this, are they they are ilernt which relate not to time, but to tho infinite duration of eternity, and it wero well in view of their importance and magnitude, that men more generally would give diligence to-them, and place a higher estimate upon the substantial interests of their immortal sonls. But in the gfntieimiu's elevated efforts to stigmatize and bring it An disrepute the "Young M-n's Christian Association of Newville," and thus destroy its influence by rhxrgins npon its members an unwillingness to meet thrir liabilities, he asks "whether there is still enough of vitality abont it to warrant the indulgence of a hope that the members have read their Bibles so as to practice the apostolic injunction, "Owo uo man anything," and we are surprised, that to gratify his own spleen he would call into requisition the apostle's language, a strong arguuionS indeed, but for him.

How ready was Adam wIkhi Iw-becamo conscious of tlia situation in which he had placed himself, by his act of disobedience to attempt to exculpate himself fron censure, and to. shtiille tho responsibility and blame upon some other person, and so this fiiki impulse of his fallen nature pervades his whole posterity even unto this day, but unto sucb the-awtlo says man prove his own work, and" tlneii shall he have rejoicing in him-solf alone. "Let some of us therefore not judge, one another anymore, but judge this rather, thai no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to. fall in his brother's way but lot us rather follow after the things which mak for peace and the-things wherewith one may edify another." But we must hasten on to the next objection to Mr. Inquirer's views, and think his suggestion as to the propriety of "renting the room to on of the political clubs of our town" is altogether out of place, improper, unadKisel, and in direct opposition to every principle of right, which wisdom, prudence and an enlightened conscience dictate.

A Young Men's Christian Associatioa is not, we believe, a device of men, but one of those dovinelj instituted means by which God, in his infinite wisdom works with li church for the accomplishment of the means of and in it Tho varying sects of chr'utians all units To spread the common truths of goepol light, and men may not with impunity trample upon his sacred rights or presumptuously attempt any innovations upon his wise and holy purposes, without incurring upon themselves bis righteous, displeasure. Beware then, lest in attempting to look for the mote in thy brother's eye, you may discover a beam, in your own. But we must draw our very protracted remarks to a speedy close, and will simply add the lamentable fact that too few men analyze their own natures and fewer still, follow the lessons that they learn in the school of self-examination, a-ne-too prone to act from invpulse not chastened by reason, and yield to circumstances without tracing causes ordiscaroing effects, thus predicating opinions and conclusions upon a wrong basis. Let all, then, wbo desire a peaceful life and a happy end, obey this injunction, "Know Thyself." Standing Committee Meeting. The Standing Committee of the People's PRrty-of Camberland County, will meet in the Lincoln Wigwam.
