MYSTERIOUS Discovery. some of the
laborers employed in digging the foundation of
the car house and machine shop in Shamokin,
were at work, person standing by discovered
two Spanish dollars lying on the ground.-
Search was Immediately made, and after re-
moving several inches of the surface of the
earth, the skeleton Of man was discovered,
besides sixteen Spanish dollars, and some cop
per coin lying in heap. A pistol ready cock
ed, and several bullets were also lying close
by. The stocks of the pistols had entirely
moulded away. A part of a coat collar was
still in state Of preservation. The old Rend-
ing road runs close by, and as the place was
dreary and wild until the rail road was COM
peted through it afew years since, it is gener-
ally supposed that some traveller was MURDER,
ed near the spot, and was dragged into the
thicket, and slightly covered over for conceal
ment.--Northumberland co. (Pa.) Paper.
To such an extent has the smuggling (of
small parcels of tea, half hose and Yankee
notions,' by pedlars> increased, that as we un-
derstaud, extensive preparations are being made
by our custom house authorities to add to the
number of Bordor Guards men of undoubted
integrity, and free from the degrading vice
which is SO frequently to be found amongst
those holding that situation. We are glad Of
it, as then the fair trader will have Justice
done him, and those disposed to fleece the gov
eminent will require to clear out and play their
cards elsewhere.-.NontreaI paper.
Will Mr.. Van Buren, and his Sub Treasury
adherents, read, mark, and digest, the follow
ing honest sentiments of Gen. JACKSON!
T" In ridding the country of an irresponsible
power, (the United States Bank.) care must
be taken. not to unite the same power with the
EXECUTIVE branch. To give the President
control over the currency, and the power over
individuals now possessed by the United States
Bank, even with the material difference that he
is responsible to the people, would be as objec-
tionable and dangerous as TO leave it as it
is."
New YORK AND ALBANY RAIL ROAD
The Directors of this road seem determined to
prosecute the work in earnest. They have
lately appointed Edwin F. Johnson, Esq, as
their Chief Engineer to complete the survey.
From the ability and energy of this gentleman,
we have no doubt that his duties will be speed
lily and satisfactorily discharged. buffalo

the Hartford (Ct.) Courier, that Mr.. Holabird,
U. 8. District Attorney and Postmaster at
Winchester, in that state, having deposited the
public funds in an old stocking, woke up one
morning and found the whole missing. Acol-
ored woman hadrun away with the treasure and
treasury. Itseems she was perfectly aware
of the constitutional provision that no money
shall be drawn from the treasury but inpconse-
quence of appropriations made by law, and So,
instead of drawing the money out ofthe estock-s )
ing she took stocking and all. Has not our GO
vernment achieved wonders for the security of
the public funds by transferring them irstfrom
the United States Bank 10 q hundred local
banks to $4,000 dirty stockingsf-Loaisuille
