possibility of saving him. He informed us
that he was almost persisted with cold and
fatigue, and that he was not able to escape
from the ice. All hope of saving him ex-
ceDt at the bridges, was now Abandoned
and an express WAS sent on to Milton to
make preparations. He passed over the
race grounds rapids and through the breach
of the Muncy dam before day light! and
arrived at Milton about nine O'clock in the
morning, after voyage of near fifty miles.
The spirited citizens of Milton, whose con-
duet upon this occasion is deserving Of the
highest praise, had every means prepared
to save the life of fellow being which in
genuity could invent, and 1t is with IN
bounded pleasure we state they were sue
cessful. He was drawn up by rope sus-
pended from the bridge, amid the shouts of
the assembled multitude.
Who can imagine the feelings of his re-
lations and friends during his absence. par
ticularly his bosom companion and aged
mother? Ten thousand deaths would have
been more tolerable, than the agonzng
state of uncertainty which involved his fate.
Tongue cannot describe the feelings which
were excited in our borough, where none
were hound to him by the endearing ties of
conjugal affection or maternal love.

The bill charging the jurisdiction of the
Court of Common Pleas in criminal cases, and
regulating the duties of prosecuting officers was
on motion of Mr.. Bliss Of Springfield, taken up
and amended. The bill was then read third
time and laid upon the table. This bill propo-
ses abolishing the offices of Solicitor General
and thirteen County Altornies, and substituting
in their stead the offices Of Attorney General
and four District Attornies, each TO receive
liked and competent salary. IL was stated by
the committee that upwards of $4,000 would be
saved to the Commonwealth in the adoption of
the proposed bill, besides very considerable
sum in the expense of keeping prisoners, as
they Will be brought to an earlier and more
speedy trial. The bill having been before three
successive Legislatures, has been matured with
much care and consideration, and in case of
adoption will, as regards facility and despatch
IN the prosecution of criminal business, be far
preferable to the existing statutes and regula-
lions.
The Bill for the due regulation Of Licensed
Houses, and to repeal all former laws on the
subject, was further amended when the yeas

REMARKABLE ESCAPE. On Saturday
evening last, the ice in the West Branch
of the Snsquehanna which bad been form
ed since the late freshet, took its departure
for the Chesapeake Bay. About dark, on
Saturday evening, Mr.. Joseph Bailey, of
the Island opposite the Jersey shore, in en-
deavoring to secure a flat boat, which lay
near the lower end of the Island, exposed
to the loose ice, ventured into it, and at
that moment a large quantity of the ice
came in contact with the boat, broke The
rope by which it was fastened, and drove il
past the point of the island. The river be-
ing entirely covered with floating ice, his
Idmentable cries for assistance were in vain
no human power could rescue him from
his perous situation.
About midnight several citizens of Jersey
shore arrived at this borough and gave the
alarm. A light was placed upon the bank
OF The river to attract his attention, and in a
few minutes he passed by, without the leas.

the piece in question might contain something
for the improvement of Farmers and Mccban

heard such epthets applied to them before,
though do not deny there are people among us
10 whom the term common and even io1o might
be well applied, but they are not respectable
Farmers and Mechanics, and don't thank the

carries green bag, which DON'T however, save
him from being what he calls others) for using
such language about u.s. ! soon learned the real
character OF the piece in question, and con.

worthy OF single thought, but, then, it is too
