A movement is on foot to form a new county by portions of the counties of Lackawanna, Susquehanna and Wayne. The prime movers of the scheme, which was made public for the first time last week, are residents of Forest City, Susquehanna County, and Starucca and Pleasant Mount, Wayne County, which are far removed from their county seats. They have secured the co-operation of the city of Carbondale, by promising to make it the seat of government of the new county. Carbondale has no grievance, and Lackawanna will base its opposition to the new county upon this. The matter will be carried to the next Legislature.

The people of Tunkhannock were very much startled Tuesday morning January 9, when it became noised abroad that an old gentleman named Washington WATERMAN had been found dead the night before near the Jayne & Co. coal pockets. WATERMAN was a resident of Nicholson, in that county, and was at Tunkhannock as a witness in a suit in which one of his sons was the defendant. The plaintiffs in the suit, the New Age says, were Bert and Al PRATT. They all put up at the Wyoming House, and, during the evening, WATERMAN and the PRATTS filled up on whiskey and engaged in a quarrel over the suit. They were ordered out of the house and WATERMAN appeared later at the Packer House with his nose bleeding, and said that he had been hit. This, the Age says, was the last seen of him alive by anyone who is willing to tell what he knows. Traces of blood were found from where the man was laying to a pool in the gutter in front of the STEVENS House. The supposition is that the man was murdered and carried to the spot where he was found. No arrests have been made. The murdered man, if such it proves to be, was about sixty years of age, and has considerable property at Nicholson. He leaves a wife, one son and one daughter.

May she sleep in peace is the wish of all.

Harry S. MOLYNEUX, one of the young men to whom Sullivan County looked up with pride and respect, died at his home at Millview, Thursday, February 1, 1894. He was born September 23, 1866 and therefore was, at the time of his death, aged 27 years, 4 months and 7 days. He was the oldest son of Thomas and Elizabeth MOLYNEUX, and, suffering the loss of his father in early life, passed through the usual hardships of a country boy in obtaining the rudiments of an education. His early draughts at the fount of knowledge inspired a thirst for more, and he entered and graduated from the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute at Towanda. Upon graduating from this institution, he became principal of the public schools of Dushore, for the school year of 1890-91, but relinquished teaching at the close of his year to enter Colgate University, Hamilton, N.Y., and had he lived, would have graduated from that institution in the class of '95. To the writer he was intimately known and greatly beloved, and it is with difficulty we control our feelings to pen this weak eulogy of a noble young life. Coming from college to spend the Christmas holidays at home, we claimed his company while in Dushore, enroute to Millview, and the recollection of his cheery smile, his keen humor and exhilarant spirits as he sat, for the last time, at our board, will ever be a pleasant though tender memory. Our next news from Harry was that he was lying at death's door, consumed with an uncontrollable fever, and for 41 days his body was racked with the pain and his brain raved with the delirium of typhoid fever, while those whose lives were entertwined with his, and whose happiness depended on his recovery and success, watched with prayer and supplication, the ebb and flow of the tide of life, until it ebbed to the unknown sea, and a noble young soul returned, unsullied, to its Maker. His funeral on Sunday was very largely attended. The pallbearers were his classmates from the Collegiate Institute and from Colgate University, while the latter institution contributed a beautiful floral pillow, with the figures "95" worked in forget-me-nots on a white ground. Other floral offerings were of exquisite beauty. A sleigh load of his former pupils from Dushore attended to testify their respect for their loved friend and teacher. The sermon was preached in the M.E. church at Forksville, by Rev. S.F. FRAZIER, a close friend and near neighbor. The immediate family consists of a mother, a brother and several sisters, who, though inconsolable over their loss, must rejoice over the love and esteem shown to their dear one. He was fitting himself for the law, and had he lived we are sure he would have taken high rank among those who plead for justice in the courts of men.

Superintendent E.O. ESSER of Wilkes-Barre took charge of the Lehigh's Sayre division the first of the month. All the clerks who were in his employ on the Wyoming division will remain with him.

The funeral of Harry HAAS, who was shot at Sayre, was held at the Lutheran church at that place, last Wednesday afternoon; the services being in charge of the brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.

With Harry's death, a peculiar and sad coincidence is brought to the "Brakeman's" mind. Harry is the fourth one of the HAAS boys who have departed this life with (pardon the expression) their boots on. When we were twisting brakes at Sayre, our steady friend and chum was Harry's older brother James (we called him "Plugger"), who was instantly killed by being struck by a bridge near Adrion, N.Y.

Crazed by jealousy, Bert PETERSON, a colored barber of Canton, shot Miss Hazel CRAIG Thursday morning February 22, and then killed himself. The girl is a colored domestic employed by C.A. KRISE, and she was met in front of the house by PETERSON. They exchanged a few words, and then she ran down the alley towards the side door of KRISE's residence, PETERSON following her. As she turned to go into the year, PETERSON fired, the ball penetrating the base of her skull. She fell to the ground unconscious and PETERSON raised the revolver to his head and fired again, the ball passed through his skull into his brain. He died almost instantly. The doctors have removed the ball from the girl's head and it is now believed that her injuries will not prove fatal. PETERSON accidentally killed a small boy with a target rifle on the fair grounds there several years ago. The girl had been receiving the attentions of another dusky lover, and PETERSON was mad with jealousy.

The people here are pleased that Rev. Harry MINSKER has been returned for the third year. He is a hard working, conscientious pastor, who has done much to build up his church in this section.

The erection of the Bernice and Lopez circuit will relieve the pastor of Dushore of considerable work. Rev. F.H. FOSS, who has been appointed to the pastorate of this charge, is a young man who has just entered the ministry and has graduated from the printing office to the pulpit. If he becomes as good a preacher as he was a printer, he will never disgrace the cloth.

Rev. J.W. KLINGLER, the new pastor of the Lutheran church, preached his initial sermon to a large and interested congregation Sunday morning. He is an eloquent preacher, and possesses the "knack" of making friends rapidly.

Mrs. MESSERSMITH, living with her daughter, Mrs. Joseph HEVERLY, in this place, has been suffering severely for some months with a cancerous growth on one of her thumbs. Saturday last she submitted to amputation of the diseased member. Drs. PRATT and WADDELL performed the operation.

B.G. WELCH, general superintendent of the W.& N.B.R.R., was at Satterfield last Friday in conference with O.O. ESSER, superintendent of the northern division of the L.V.R.R., and we are told that an arrangement was reached whereby the first mentioned road will complete their sidings at that point and build a depot. This will be good news to people in this vicinity. Mr. WELCH also hopes to make arrangements whereby closer connections will be made between the two systems at Satterfield, giving the people of this section better facilities for reaching Harrisburg and points in central Pennsylvania.

More about W.E. PURDY, - Since our last issue we have learned more about the young fruit tree agent who forged W.B. JENNINGS’ name to a $34.50 check. He has a wife living at Farmer City, N.Y., and during the winter was arrested for drawing a revolver on his mother-in-law. This broke up the family. PURDY's widowed mother in Ithaca went his bail and he promised to leave the country. He than began canvassing for Hooker, Grover & Co., nurserymen, of Rochester, and loaded them up with bogus orders for goods, and succeeded in getting his commission on some of the orders, and they are anxious to see him themselves. He was a sleek little scoundrel and bit nearly everybody with whom he had any dealings.

Charles MEEKER, son of Bently MEEKER, of this place, died Thursday morning, March 8, 1894, of inflammation of the bowels, after an illness of less than one week, aged 19 years. Funeral services were held at the house Saturday at one o'clock p.m., and the interment took place at Monroeton. It is sad to contemplate the sudden and unexpected death of one so young. A pathetic incident was his good-bye to his young associates a few hours before his death, when each was called to his bedside to receive his parting hand clasp and assurance of sorrow at leaving them ere he crossed the dark river. "I won't give up, boys, but I realize there is little hope," he said as he took final leave of his companions, and a few hours later answered the summons of the dread messenger. His death should be a warning to all to be ready at any time to meet their Master. To the parents the most heartfelt sympathy of all is extended.

John F. MEGINNESS, the Williamsport historian, is about to revive the publication of the "Historical Journal" as a quarterly magazine. It will give special attention to local history and genealogy of Central Pennsylvania. The first number will contain a history of the Great Island and William DUNN, its settler; records of the HEPBURN family of the West branch Valley; a record of the marriages performed by Rev. James LINN at Bellefonte between 1810 and 1858, over one thousand in number with notes by John Blair LINN. Mr. MEGINNESS’ efforts to develop the history of the West Branch Valley should have appreciative support.

Lynch law in Pennsylvania is something new, so new, in fact, it can but create universal surprise from the Delaware to Lake Erie. The guilt or innocence of the Negro strung up by the Stroudsburg mob has nothing to do with the real question, which consists in unauthorized executions of the law, taking the law into their own hands. They may hang a guilty man today, but, in time of great excitement, just as likely to hang an innocent man tomorrow. In a civilized country there is, there can be, but one safe rule to govern in the punishment of offenders by the judgement of the laws and the Courts. To set up any other puts in jeopardy our dearest rights. Every step in the direction of submitting the guilt or innocence of an accused person to the judgment of a mob is going back that far toward the savagery it has taken civilized men many centuries to escape from. The law only is safe.

The inquisitiveness of a boy in Allentown on Monday resulted in the finding of $500 that will cause a lawsuit. The personal estate of Silas CAMP, a rich old bachelor, who died a month ago, was sold at auction. Among the goods disposed of was an old safe, which was knocked down for $3.50. The safe had been used by CAMP, tells the Allentown Leader, but after his death it was opened by his relatives and everything of value was taken out, as they supposed. Before the purchasers had an opportunity to take it away, however, a small boy worked the combination and opened the door. While examining the interior he pulled out a private drawer and out rolled a pile of gold pieces. When counted they were found to amount to nearly $600. The money was taken in charge by CAMP's brother under the protests of the new owners, who say they will bring suit for the gold.

Light has at last been thrown upon the mysterious disappearance of Henry HARDING, the prominent lawyer of Tunkhannock. It appears that he left a letter in his office saf,e directed to his brother, saying that his health needed a sea voyage, and conferring upon his brother the power of attorney to settle his estate, as, if his health did not improve, his family would never see him again. He ran away from home at the age of 14, and enlisted in the United States navy, and is therefore a thorough sailor, and his friends appear to think that he has gone to the Pacific coast and embarked on a sailing vessel for a long voyage. The letter gave rise to the suspicion that he was slightly deranged before he left. His financial matters are in good condition.

Nearly two months ago, Issacher HOUSEKNECHT, of Muncy, disappeared and up to date not the slightest clue has been obtained as to his whereabouts. Did he fall in the river and drown, was he murdered and his body secreted, or has he gone away? No one knows.

The depot at New Albany burned to the ground Saturday morning between one and two o'clock. The fire originated in a dwelling house immediately back of and almost adjoining the depot building. Both buildings were totally destroyed, together with their contents. Station Agent ORMSBY reached the scene in time to save the ticket case. A box car has been sidetracked and fitted into a temporary station, which will be used until a new building can be erected. This will give New Albany their long wished for new depot.

BARDOE; secretary, H.H. RUTTER; treasurer, D.H. POUST. The twenty fourth annual fair will be held on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 26, 27, 28 and 29, 1894.

An alarm of fire was sounded in Dushore Saturday night a few minutes past midnight and brought Fire Company No. 1 to the scene in a very short space of time. A small barn in the rear of the Exchange Hotel was a mass of flame, and the large hotel barn, MIDDENDORF'’s livery stable, and several smaller barns in imminent danger of catching. Ten minutes vigorous work by the boys of No. 1 sufficed to bring the blaze under control and, when the machine was taken back to the engine house an hour later, the blackened frame of the barn was still standing and the fire entirely quenched. The barn was the property of J.H. CRONIN, was part of the Exchange Hotel premises, and contained a few tons of hay and a cow. The cow was saved. The fire was evidently of incendiary origin, and but for prompt action might have been serious. One thing was demonstrated to the satisfaction of all, with the engine properly handled, an immense amount of water can be thrown. A number of people not members of the company volunteered their services, done very effective work, and obeyed the orders of the officers, and are hereby thanked for their assistance.

The mysterious departure of Henry HARDING on the 25^th of February has been the subject of much comment, and it is due to the public as well as those who had business transactions with him to say that he went away with a full knowledge of what his going in such a manner meant, a nd the probable consequences. He left among his papers in his office a power of attorney to his brother, Samuel HARDING, of Eaton, authorizing him to settle up all his business, collect all outstanding bills, pay all indebtedness; and it is said that when this is done there will be left an estate valued at ten thousand dollars, at least, which will be for the use of his family. This move on his part was not taken until after mature deliberation, as the power of attorney was acknowledged on the first day of January nearly two months before he left, and shows that his leaving had been contemplated for some time. His motives for leaving are not known but that he went away in the full possession of all his senses and as the result of deliberate and mature reflection there can be no doubt.

PERSONS, of the Argus, John A. FOX, the Democratic County chairman, and Mr. SMITH.

W.E. PURDY, the young man who forged W.B. JENNINGS name to a check for $34.50, has been brought to justice through the instrumentality of the article concerning the transaction published in the Review of March 8. The article was extensively copied, and last Thursday, March 29, an agent left a copy at Farmer, NY, where his (PURDY's) wife lived, and the excitement it occasioned was at its height when the young gentleman himself dropped off the 7 o'clock train, Friday morning. He was promptly arrested and Detective Guy C. HOLLON, of Towanda, notified by telegraph. He reached Farmer at 5 o'clock that afternoon and identified PURDY, who was taken to Ovid to jail, pending a hearing and the arrival of requisition papers. Hugh L. BUSH and R.H. BREWER, of this place, went to Ovid Monday morning to give evidence against the young man, and it is pretty safe to predict that by the time this paper reaches its readers he will be ruminating in the bastille at Towanda and humming to himself that "One leg is longer that it really ought to be". If the Review had refrained from mentioning the matter, as requested, this young scamp would probably have gone scott free. Certain it is he was caught sooner than he otherwise would have been.

Following is the list of letters remaining uncalled for at the close of business at Dushore postoffice March 31, 1894:

M.E. CHUBBUCK, of Bradford Lodge, Towanda, was elected District Deputy Grand Master of the Bradford County Odd Fellows at the election held the last meeting in March. He is a young man of excellent ability and very well informed in regard to the work of the Order. He was opposed by John DUNFEE, of Monroeton, an old member of the Order, who has held the position several times, and whose wide acquaintance in all the twenty-six lodges of the county gave him a decided advantage.

In Sullivan County the election for D.D.G.M. resulted in the choice of Fred NEWELL, of Dushore Lodge No. 494. The term begins with the meeting of the Grand Lodge in May.

Harry GREEN, of Towanda, spent Sunday in this place.

General E.S. OSBORN of Wilkes-Barre has been engaged to deliver the memorial address at Towanda, Decoration Day, May 30^th.

John J. CONNOR, of Cherry, has been having a serious time with lagrippe. We are glad to report that he has now nearly recovered.

Frank DUNFEE, of Towanda, the Review's "Brakeman", was in town Thursday on the look out for local news of interest to railroaders.

Clement and Christian ILL, recently of this place, have moved to Towanda, and Mrs. KAST, their sister, goes along to keep house for them. We learn, from the Evening Herald of Towanda, that they have caused the arrest of Gotleib ESSENWINE for violation of the liquor laws. When the boys came from Germany, as mentioned a couple of weeks ago, they stopped there with the girl Clement designed to marry, and ESSENWINE treated them to cider.

The oldest dry goods and carpet store in Towanda was established in 1870 by D.T. EVANS and Henry C. HILDRETH, who came from Rome, N.Y. It was not long until they were compelled to move from their narrow quarters on Bridge street to more commodious ones on Main street, and the business, now solidly established, continued to increase until it was in the very first ranks of Towanda's many fine dry goods stores. Mr.HILDRETH died in 1888, and Mr. EVANS then became sole owner of the business. Last fall he again found his quarters too narrow for his increasing trade and purchased what has heretofore been known as the Kirby & Russell building, opposite his old stand, which for many years was occupied as a hardware store. The interior was completely re-arranged and, April 1^st , Mr. EVANS moved into what is unquestionably one of the very finest dry goods stores in Towanda. The business occupies the basement and three floors. The first floor is devoted to the ordinary articles usually kept in a first class dry goods store, all tastefully displayed. Finishing the inspection of this floor, the scribe was invited to step into the handsome and perfectly safe elevator, and was whisked up to the second floor, where we found cloaks, capes, lace curtains, portieres, etc. and a luxuriously furnished ladies' waiting room. The elevator and the waiting room are innovations in Towanda, and will be much appreciated by the ladies who flock to the store. Another trip in the elevator took us to the third floor where the large and elegant stock of carpets is displayed to a good advantage. There is an abundance of light through the whole building, and, as the elevator saves all fatigue of stair climbing, shopping becomes a positive pleasure to the ladies. Believing with Bayard TAYLOR that "only a woman knows a woman's need," Mr. EVANS is careful that efficient female clerks are provided for all the special departments and we can conscientiously recommend our lady friends to visit and inspect this store when in Towanda.

The POMEROY family of child singers were here until Wednesday night last week, and gave several entertainments. Their music is all right, as far as we know, although nothing phenomenal, but we think it high time a stop was put to this kind of child labor. Children should be surrounded by the tender influences of home, where parents should find pleasure in supporting them, instead of hauling the children all over the country, impregnating them with an atmosphere morally and physically unhealthy, in order to afford an easy support to parents. The fact that the children sing "hymns", tunes principally, in no way mitigates the unpleasant features of this business. The public, and churches especially, should discountenance this form of entertainment, and force the parents to settle down and take care of their children in a proper manner.

The property of W.B. HOTTENSTINE, of Forks township, was sold at assignee’s sale in this place Saturday. B.M. SYLVARA became the purchaser of the farm at $825.

We thought the mumps were about over with, but find that it had only been working on one side of the majority of its victims and it is coming in now on the home run on the other cheek. We haven't had it yet, but, if we do fall a victim, there will such a howl go up from Beech Haven as never rent the air.

On Friday night last, April 6, the night crew to which the writer belongs fortunately escaped what might have been something serious had the design of some homicidal person been realized. The switch at the west end of what is known as the "Dushore passing siding,," had been unlocked, partly thrown, and the key, that should always be put in place, thrown away. The "misplaced switch" has contributed its portion of calamities of this country, and many an innocent employee doing his duty has had his life snuffed out.

Fortunately no one was hurt. The machine weighed about four tons and not 25 pounds of it was left.

R.J. CLARK and family expect to move this week.

The death of the young son of John EPLEY touches the hearts of all railroad men, and it is with feelings of extreme sadness that they offer their heartfelt sympathies to Mr. and Mrs. EPLEY, in this their hour of affliction. If there can be a compensating thought, it is that their darling son returned to the God who gave him, pure and unspotted by the world's temptations.

All of the above cases have been traced directly to Danville, the local physicians having failed or refused to recognize the true character of the disease. It had existed more than a month before the State Board of Health discovered it. Also: Harrisburg, Dauphin County, 1 fatal case; Mohn's Store, Berks County, 1 case; Sinking Springs, Berks County, 1 case; Pittsburg, Allegheny County, 4 cases.

In an accident at Pennsdale, just below Hughesville, on the W.&N.B.R.R. Saturday morning, April 21, Miss Miriam WELCH, daughter of General Manager B.G. WELCH, was killed, and Mr. L.P. MCCLENATHEN and Mrs. J.S. BAILEY, both of Hughesville, were fatally injured. A freight train leaves Hughesville at 6:10 a.m. for Hall's, where the road connects with the Reading, and attached to this is an accommodation car that carries passengers to the early morning trains on the Reading. General Manager WELCH was coming to Hall's on an early train, and the persons named were going to meet him. The other passengers that fatal morning were W.E. CRAWFORD, Esq., Mrs. Wm PARKER, and her son Lee. A few minutes after the freight left, Engineer John HESLER was ordered to take an engine down to Hall's and bring back Manager WELCH and party. At Pennsdale, the freight stopped to do some switching and a flagman went back the usual distance. HESLER's engine came down the grade at the rate of 30 miles an hour, and ran past the flagman, who made desperate efforts to stop him. Mr. CRAWFORD was standing on the rear platform and, seeing HESLER's engine run by the flag, turned and ran through the car shouting "Get out of this. That train is not stopping". He jumped off the rear platform and was followed by Mrs. PARKER and her boy. The other passengers failed to comprehend the danger and were caught in the crash that followed almost the same instant. Mr. MCCLENATHEN and Mrs. BAILEY were reached first by the rescuers. Mr. MCCLENATHEN bade them leave him and search for Miss WELCH. She was extricated from the wreck and breathed her last three minutes later. Engineer John HESLER saved himself by jumping just before the crash. The engine which had pulled the freight ran to HALL's, where news of the accident was quickly telegraphed to Williamsport, Muncy and Hughesville. Physicians from Muncy first reached the scene of the wreck. Mr. WELCH arrived at HALL's just as the engine got there, and was quickly carried to the scene. Side by side, lay the bodies of the unfortunates, his only daughter dead, her affianced husband insensible at her side, and, farther on, her friend, also insensible, both probably fatally injured. His cry of horror wrenched the heart strings of the spectators and not a dry eye was in the crowd. The dead girl was to have been married to Mr. MCCLENATHEN today (Thursday). She was highly educated and accomplished, about 20 years of age, and prominent in church and Sunday school work. The coroner held an inquest Monday morning, and the jury held Engineer HESLER responsible for the accident and he was arrested on the charge of involuntary manslaughter. Judge METZGAR held him in $1000 bail to answer to the charge. The engineer's side of the story has not yet appeared in print, and we are unable to state his excuse, if he has one.

We regret to chronicle the terrible accident that befell our old friend, Brakeman John E. CONKLIN, at Elmira a few days ago. He was going east on train 82 of the Erie, which is a fast freight due at Elmira at 5 o'clock. He climbed down the ladder on the end of the car, and when part way down the engineer applied the air brakes, and when the cars shoved up together, his leg was caught from the knee to the hip, perpendicular between the cars. There was no chance to bend or move sideways, and the result of the terrible pressure was the dislocating of the hip and shattering the bone so badly that it is feared he will be a cripple for life.

The following interesting items were sent us from Sayre: Superintendent KING is making an extended trip through the west. Bert HAYDEN, assistant general freight agent, and his clerks will return to Sayre. Conductor George KENNEDY and family have returned from an extended trip in the far west. Time keeper R.M. HOVEY and family, of Buffalo, will make their home at Sayre after the 20^th of April. John BELL has returned from his western trip in the interest of the Trainmen's Brotherhood. C.E. CLOCK, the Lehigh's affable agent at East Waverly, suffered a shock of paralysis last Wednesday and is now in a critical condition. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery.

It is with mingled regret and pride that this department attempts to briefly outline a sketch of Asa D. MCHENRY. Regret of our utter inability to do justice, and pride in being possessed of enough of his respect and acquaintance to attempt it.

It can truly be said that strict application to business wins success, and this saying has been honorably exemplified by our candidate,. A.D. MCHENRY, who first saw the light December 27, 1863, at Dushore, PA. Asa's boyhood days were spent at the boro schools and at the age of 18 concluded to go north and make his mark in life. He did go north, for Bernice was his haven, and his "marks in life" were often discernible in his occupation. The S.L.& S.R.R. office at this place was in need of an assistant and H.G. LEWIS, the obliging agent, accepted Asa for this position. Telegraphy is identical to braking in one respect - all done with your hands, easy enough, if you know how, etc.- and in those days the compensation of students was not as remunerative as a full fledged operator. However, Asa was made of the proper material and enlisted in Mr. BLIGHT's service as a slate picker and car loader, for which he was paid $20.00 a month; this he used for a provender and furthered his telegraphic education, when he wasn't picking slate. Personal friends are hereby notified that his head was occasioned by chunks of coal or the rear heel of a mule.

Winter's wintry blasts blew Asa out of Bernice back to Dushore where he learned enough of telegraphing of the agent, H.H. BLAIR, to fill vacancies as an extra operator on the Lehigh Valley. If our memory serves us right, the first work he did unassisted was two days at Milan, PA., in July, 1882, and from this start he worked extra at nearly all the offices from Sayre to L.&B. Junction, chiefly nights, and, it is said, night operators never sleep. But our experience in waking Asa up in the house on the road to Headleyville to get orders makes us strongly doubt the saying.

Work being somewhat dull, he returned to his first love, Bernice, and entered the company's store as salesman and remained there until, or about June 6, 1883, when Mr. I.O. BLIGHT, Superintendent of the S.L.&S.R.R., placed him in charge of the New Albany depot where he remained until January 6^th, 1891.

While at New Albany and Dushore recently, having this sketch in view, we took occasion to commingle with the businessmen of those places and carefully inquired as to the general capability and correct way of Mr. MCHENRY, and can truthfully inform all interested that it was the best, and many regrets were expressed when he left the New Albany office. The place was, however, satisfactorily filled by the present agent, J.B. ORMSBY.

At the time of the above mentioned date, during the Superintendency of Mr. Wm. STEVENSON of the Lehigh, by request of both parties, ORMSBY, of Dushore, and MCHENRY, of New Albany, were transferred in order to get each at home.

Dushore is the largest freight station on the S.L.&S.R.R. It is the heaviest express station, more tickets are sold here, and all in all is the most important station on the road. The manner in which Mr. MCHENRY transacts the company's business, the treatment of its patrons, the excellent deportment maintained, attest far better toward his ability, well earned, than the writer can illustrate.

Mr. MCHENRY is assisted in his duties by his venerable father and by Master John DEEGAN, of whom we predict will ultimately become Mr. MCHENRY'S equal. Asa is an honored member of Dushore Lodge, I.O.O.F. and Evergreen Lodge, F.&A.M., of Monroeton; and, we presume, fire police of Dushore Fire Co. No.1.

To conclude our sketch, we desire to refer to the fact that Dushore has had a number of agents for the railroad company, and, pardon us for saying so, it is one of the hardest towns of its size to please in Pennsylvnia, but, since the new depot was built and all things considered, the present incumbent has thoroughly satisfied the seemingly eccentric wants of the people, and, in the language of a L.V. official, "He is the right man in the right place."
