EMIGRATION To PESNsYLyANIA.-Whll hist the
tide of emigration is still moving towards the
West, and even beyond the Rocky Mountains,
threshold advantages are overlooked in Pennsyl-
vania. No State in the Union possesses such ia
ctie. for all classes of society, not only 10 acquire
| a comfortable livelihood, but ama.s fortune.
| The reason is very obvious. The soil is good and
when we'll cultivated. yields more abuadantly, all
| in ALL the various kinds of agricultural products,
than any other State in the Union. Her manutact-
uring interests are SO diversified, that a ready
market must always be found for her products
| Water power is to be found in more abundance in
Northwestern Pennsy lvania than in any other sec
ton of the Union. The streams never failing
and so rapid, that machinery may be constructed
in every two or three miles, and often withia less
distance, without any detrment to each other
Iron ore is to be found in almost every county IN
great abundance, and situated in the immediate
neighborhood of the streams. Bituminous stone
coal is also embedded in every hill, and forms mex
haustble mines. Not unfrequently are the iron
ore and stone coal mined from the same drift
| thus afording the raw material and the fuel TO
| smet the iron, at the spot, and at the very
mouth of the furnace. The manufacturing of no
one article affords SO great market tor the farm
er's produce as that Of iron; so great number OF
hands and so many horses are employed at each
| of these establishments as to consume a vast
amount of the grain, bacon, beef, &c. of the sur
rounding country And for the successful produc-
ton of iron, no State in the Union can ever CON-
| pete with penDsy!vana. Some counties already
have from twenty thirty of these establishments
within their bounds, and give employment to two
thousand men. only speak OF this as cne OF the
many advantages possessed by Northwestern
Pennsylvania over other States in offering mar
ket to the farmer for the fruit of his labor. Public
improvements are extended almost to the farmer ;
door whereby if he have overplus of produce,
beyond the consumption of his own aeighborhood,
he avail himself of the Philadelphia or New
York market, deducting carriage, which upon our
canals is remarkably low, thus attOrdlng the pro-
Queer as well the advantage of an extensive and al
NEST unexamplcd home market, as the benefits of
the markets of our eastern cities.

70 We learn, that at a session of the Court of
Common Pleas Of Bristol County, Mass, at Taun-
ton, complaint was made before the Grand Jury,
for the killing of Mckilby, at Pawtucket, and wit
nesses were examined to support the charge.
After full consideration of all the facts and cir
cumstances, the Grand Jury ignored the bill.
