We can scarcely imagine the possibility
Of so wicked and wanton a sacrifice of life
as is shown in the statement of the designed
collision of the two steam boats on the H.
linois river. Owing to some misunder-
standing between the captains Of the two
boats, they met at five o'clock in the morn
ing, when the passengers were slumbering
in their berths, and steered directly for each
other. The concussion was, Of course,
awful, and the inevitable consequences, such
as should have appalled, the most fiendish
spirits. The Tiskilwa sunk in three min
utes, with more than twenty of her passen-
gers, whose lives were sacrificed to one of
the most cold blooded acts of atrocity we
ever heard Of What proceedings have
been instituted against the criminal authors
of this act, we are not Informed, but for the
credit of humanity, we trust, such wretches
will not be suffered to go ''unwhipt of JUS
tice." They should unquestionably be in
dicted, tried and executed for murder in the
first degree.-U. S. Gazette.

An old lady residing not far from Exc
ter, Mass, was perhaps one of the most
brilliant examples of conjugal tenderness
that the last century produced. Her hus-
band had been dying, and at length, on
the clergyman ofthe parish making one OF
his daily visits, he found him dead. The
disconsolate widow, in giving an account
of her spouse's last moments, told him her
@'poor dear man kept groaning, but he could
not die, ,'-"At last" said she, 81 recollec-
ted that had got piece of new tape in the
drawer, so took some of that and tied il
as tight as | could ro,md his neck, and then
stopped his nose with my thumb and fin
ger, and poor dear, he went of like a
lamb"

NE1GIfBouRING VILLAGES.


We have given nod to few of the
towns which form such cluster upon the
map of the world in the vicinity of Blooms
burg; and as we are in the habit of letting
the people see what we know, we subjoin
hasty sketch, hoping that correspondents
may take up the subject, and give more
full and pleasing description Of their places
of residence.
CATTAwIssA, which is only four miles
distant from Bloomsburg, gives strong ev-
dence of future celebrity, as place of bu-
siness. 1t is situated on the east bank Of
the North Branch Of the Susquehanha, and
the Cattawissa creek empties into the river
few yards south of the village. A great
amount of capital is invested in the manu-
featuring business, and on the creek are a
great number of mills, forges, &c. 1t has
a number OF enterprislng citizens, at the
head of whom are Col. Paxton & Christian
Brobst, Esq. men whose habits Of useful in
dustry are seldom met with among the op-
ulent. 1t will be the depot for the rail-
road; and as the completion of this line of
improvement is hastily urged, must become
ga very great place"
ORANGEyILLE Is six miles distant from
Bloomsbury, at the foot Of the extreme ter
minaton of the Allegheny mountains, com
monty called ''the Knob" 1t has a num-
Der of neat dwellings-looks like place OF
business-ahd, We are told, does more bu-
siness, in proportion TO its size and popula-
ton, than any other village in the county,
uot possessing the advantages of the inter-
nal improvement system.-Messrs. Rick
etts and Covenhoven are now engaged in
erecting an extensive merchant-mill, and
several private dwellings will be built du-
ring the ensuing season. We wish the
good people of this town much prosperity
for they have added considerably to our
subscription list.
BERWICK is twelve miles from Blooms
burg, on the No,il! Branch; and we only
regret that the weather prevented us from
enjoying view of the place and its loca-
ton. The buildings are neat-the hotel
we stopped at Just such as thirsty and
hungry visitor would desire-and if it only
had plentiful supply of good water would
certainly be almost as pleasant place as
BloonTsburg TO fix ones habitation.
EspTTowN is delightful little village,
about two miles from Btoomsburg, on the
road to Berwick. 1t possesses the adwan-
tagcs of Canal and river navigation; and "a
great number Of Canal-boats are annually
built here for the SchuylkiE and other ca
nails.
