Dl-outB. 3 What They Say. We'have a namesake over in Mansfield. "Ben" Goodenongh has started a newspaper in that village called the Advertiser, and we have received a copy of the first issue thereof. There is an opportunity for a good newspaper In that section, and we think the right man has seized the opportunity.

We wish success to the new enterprise. Others have failed in that field, but Ben is a plucky fellow, and if there is any show, at all, will win. The motto of his paper is, "we are speaking to the world." El-mira Advertiser. We have received the first number of the Maksfield Advertiser, edited bj O. D.

Goodenough, late of Item. It presents a neat appearance, and Ben will make it readable. We congratulate Mansfield on having a good local paper. Success to the Advertiser! lowmnda Item. Mansfield Advertiser.

We have eeeived the first number of a paper with the above heading, published at Mansfield in the office of the defunct Enterprise, by Mr. O. D. Goodenough, formerly of the Towauda Item. Mr.

Goodenough, commonly called "Bea," has soid out his interest in the Towanda Businesi Item, and moved to Mansfield, renewing the Enterprise newspaper uuder a new name, the Mansfield Advertiser.

Mansfield, Tioga Jan. 28, 1873. 'TIS DONE. Tioga County voted against license on Friday last. The 6tuidy mountaineers of this prosperoun region are quite content to quaff the God-given beverage which leaves them as it finds them men, not demons.

The majority, so far as we have been able to learn at this writing, is estimated at about 1000. We 1 append the vote as we have obtained it: AGAINST LIOKNSE. Arnot, 11 Charleston, 168 Fall Brook, 5 Lawrenceville and Town. 4 Mansfield and Richmond, 244 Middleburv. 80 Morris Run, 32 Sullivan and Mainsbnrg, 135 Wellsboro, 21 FOR LICENSE.

Covington and Borough, 26 Liberty, 1 Rutland, 40 Tioga and Borough, 13 Mansfield covered herself with glorj T)n this day. although quite a number did not go to the polls. But 13 voted for license. She has, for the past two years, tried the "no license" experiment by special euactnieut, and although at the time of its passage it met with more or less disfavor, yet now nearly all clearly see its wisdom. It.

is the sentiment of her people, and ten-fold prosperity has blessed her as a corporation since. The poor within her limits have grown richer, and so have the rich. A respectable drunken man (excuse the paradox) does not reside here, -and the drunkard, if there be one, shows not(his filth by day. Localities that may be in doubt as to the social ecouoiuy of the "no license'' move, may take Mansfield for an example. Rochester, Hornellsvllle and Pine Creek Railroad.

This company represents the New York portion of a line projected from Hornellsville, N. on the Erie Railway, south-eastward to Williamsport Pa. The line has been located from Hornellsville to the State liue, and will probably be put under contract this month. In Pennsylvania, companies have been organized for its extension and are waiting for some necessary leg lslation to eommence active work. The whole line has been surveyed and found practicable.

It will intersect the Lawrenceville Wellsboro Railroad near the latter place, and continue along the road to the Antrim coal fields and thence to Williamsport. A correspond ent writes that when built it will lessen the distance from Buffalo or Suspension Bridge to Williamsport (and of course to Baltimore, 54 miles over the present principal route, and will be at least 32 miles shorter than any other line can be made. A saving of 12 miles is effected between William sport and Rochester, X. Y. The road passes through the bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania, and at Williamsport will compete for the anthracite coal trade.

Its projectors confidently believe it will become the main truuk line from Canada and the Northwest by Buffalo, Suspension Bridge or Rochester to Baltimore, Washington and the South and it will command a large coal traf fic. I he original intention was to run down Piue Creek in Pennsylvania, but the survey of the route and the quan titv of the coal on that line was uot satisfactory. Railroad Gazette. i The Union Pacific Railroad will defy snow blockades this winter. The track has been raised from one to seven feet for 100 miles over the road subject to snow drifts, so that the wind will blow it over.

Several miles of new snow sheds have bren built where experience found the.n necessary, and some eighty miles of fences have been put up. In addition to all else a number of immense snow plows have been made, so that, altogether, travelers will not be liahle to suffer from the aggravating delays that last winter made travel tedious; not even if the winter should prove one of equal severity. A proposition has been introduced into the Constitutional Convention to separate general elections from municipal elections in this State. It is proposed to hold the former in November, on the day fixed by law for the Piesiden-tial election, and the latter on the third Fndav in March. The emigrant ship North Fleet, which nailed from London several days since for Australia, came in collision with an unknown steamship, and was cut to the vater's edg.

Only 87 of 412 passengers are known to have been saved. The disaster occurred in the English Channel. The Grand Encampment, G. A. met in Ebuiia last week.

"Drowning men Catch, at Straw." Mb. Editor Such is the caption of one of several posters which the Tioga manipulators have been scattering broadcast over the county the past fortnight, and now appropriate to themselves. They now see that their pet scheme of dividing the county and locating the county seat at Tioga, is like to fall through, and they are wildly and desperately catching at the flimsy straws of subterfuge and misrepresentation in order to effects their selfish ends. They are to be commended, however, for their industry iu ciruclating petitions, but their oily tongues and hypocritical ways will be of no avail. Their designs are too transparent, too thin.

Now, Mr. Editor, you are a stranger among us, aud perhaps are not yet thoroughly posted in regard to this matter. Myself being a citizen of Old "Tioga, will, with your permission, state the facts as they are, and endeavor to illustrate why the county should not be divided, and also why the favored few of Tioga village are so terribly anxious for its division aud the location of the county seat there. In the first place, a division of the county would increase the public expenses. Second: It would lessen the public revenue.

Third: It would take from Tioga County the greater portion of her unseated lands. Fourth It would seriously mar her fair prospects. Fifth Instead of her being as the now is one of the first of the northern tier of counties, she would, for years to come, be comparatively insignificant, aud scores of years must necessarily intervene before she would regain her lose prestige. Sixth: In case of a division, Tioga village would be the very u-rst place for the county seat that could be selected, from the fact that it is under water two or three times a year, and the erection of safe and suitable coumy buildiugs there, would incur an expense that her people could not pos- sibly bear, and as a sequence the "little jokers" by a "twist of the wrist" could easily saddle the debt upon the county. No Jf there are a few property holders there, who, with a desire to euhance their possessions and enrich themselves, are making all this hullabaloo.

If they do not do something pretty quick they will go under worse than they ever have in a flood, and in their drowning desperation they are catching at this hopeless straw, and the people see it. "The God of Nature" in his inscruta ble wisdom has made it practically im possible that this unwise, narrow-mind ed, sordid scheme shall carry. Not that we love Tioga tillage less, but that we love our grand old county more, is the cry of the masses of our inhabitants, and by word aud work they will stand true to the entire county, one and in-seperabltr. "United we stand, divided we fall." Yours truly, High And Dry. P.

S. It has been suggested that Tioga village get up a little county of er own, say about half-a-mile square, to be called "Ckookogy." Thoughts Durixo IIair-Ci'tting. A veteran who has run the gauntlet of many a garrulous barber in his day and still lives gives the following memoranda of his thoughts while enduring the operation of hair-cutting: Will he ask me how I would like it cut I Will he talk me almost to death! Will he blow upon me 1 Will lie Buip a bit of my ear Will he always carry my comb in his hair Will he prick my lips when he trims my moustache Will he tell me that my hair is get ting rather thin at the top Will lie never stop telling stories of his brother bai ber Will he take my cigars or lead pencils out of my vest pocket Will he always eat onions and drink berf Will he cut it well, or shall I look an object for the next ten days 1 Will he ask mo whether I have tried, or would like to try, their marvelous Balsam, or their wonderful Wash, or thoir unrivaled Restorative! Will iie ask mo whether I will have a magic shampoo Will the brushing business bring tears to my eyes Will he part my hair on the wrong side Will uncomfortable hairs get between my collar aud my neck Will he not, when all is over, say: Will there lie anything for the Will the boy brush off my coat unless I pay him in advance! Will the plan for introducing deaf and dumb barbers ever be adopted A whole family were poisoned near Eagle Bridge, N. oue day last week, by the husband aud father, George Shaw. Two of the children are dead, and two more and the mother are expected to die.

Shaw has been arrested, and his paramour, a Miss Briggs, is sus-pecten of being his accomplice.

The Ian gnage of a vote for "license," is this You say that you are in favor of al coholic liquors being sold and drank in afl of the hotels of all the villages nnd towus of this county You are willing that all the consequences which have and will flow from the sale and the drinking of such liquors, may be en tailed upon the people of this county You have said so by voting "license." You are willing that your sons, and the sons of all the fathers of our towns and villages may spend their money across the tavern keeper's bar, for that which he has a license to sell. You have said by your vote that, you want these young men to imbibe the habits of drinking intoxicating drinks, and to experience the pernicious effects of the use of the same.

You would like to have them leave their homes and the pleasing aud virtuous associations of the quiet fire side, for the strifes and crimes which are engendered iu the bar- room. You have said to the young and old, "let us fill the bowl and drink of its poisonous contents. Let ns spend our time and our money in those places where men are made drunkards, and where the worst passions of our natures are aroused, where we learn to be the most prodigal spendthrifts, and where we also learn to neglect all that is near aDd dear to tis, as social and moral citizens. Let us give the licensed men what makes us and our families comfortable our mon ey and at last our farms, and all things earthly which we possess. Let us bring swift ruin and the most acute distress upon our friends and deplete the life of the community with our many crimes.

Let us fill the almshouses with paupers and our jails and penitentiaries with criminals of all grades and conditions. Let us increase the expenses of our county for courts aud criminal expenses, and bring bankruptcy and ruiu into all of our homes." Such are some of the results which will flow from your vote for "license," ii its truits are rept. you teel giau that you have voted You cannot, while I can most sincerely re joice that my vote was of the kind which opposed all these sad results, as on it was written "No License." Equalize the Salaries. In the discussion of the timely de-raaud for reform made on the Republican party, The Milwaukee Advertiser, au Administration journal, takes lively inrerest. It asks, Shall the Republican party institute needed reforms or perish The Advertiser points to the corruption at Washington and the various State capitals as the first evil which the dominant party must reform.

Next, it thinks that the public salaries are unequally proportioned, and that lucky politicians receive fortunes as fees, while hard-working but obscure public ser vants are poorly paid. The Avertiter says: The Collector of the Port of New-York, for example, receives $100,000 a year. A fixed salary of $20,000 would command the services of a competent aud responsible man. A multitude of other officers, Loth in the nation aud in various States, are overpaid in the same way. The large fees in certain offices are sources of contention aud corruption.

Bribery is used to obtaiu such places. Uulawful means are employed to retain them. The influence of these hquabbles over enormous spoils and the corruption thereby engendered aie sources of political danger aud demor alization. On the, contrary other officers receive inadequate compensa tion. As a rule, the legislators in the various States of the Union are poorly paid.

This is at once a temptation and an excuse to steal. Thus the inadequacy of compensation becomes a source of corruption. Overpay and underpay both lead to the same baleful end. The people dema'id that every man holding office in the United States should receive a sufficient but fixed salary. Public sentiment demands that there should be adopted a uniform system of definite and generous compensation.

It also de- mauds that, coupled with this, there should be severe and relentless punish ment for official delinquency. Aud for this needed reform the Republican party, being undisputed master of the political situation, will be held strictly responsible. A Republican Congress should create as many special commissions as there are departments of the Government with power to send for men and papers, with instructions to make exhaustive repurts ou which to base a readjustment of salaries, from that of the President down to the village postmaster.

The authorities of St. Lonis, however, have been guilty of the barbarity of beginnin a library for the county jail with thirty volumes of Tupper. This action might possibly be defended on the ground that it will tend to repress crime.
