Susauehanna Telegraph Company.

Some late proceedings Of this Company
will be found on the first page of this
paper, to which we wish to call the parti-
cular attention of our citizens. Lewisburg
is certainly as deeply interested in this
matter as any other town on the route Of
the contemplated line of wires; and as it
depends entirely upon ourselves, whether,
or not, this important point is to have a
place in the electric current, it appears to
US to be advisable that the opinions of our
people on the subject should be definitely
ascertaincd without delay, and prompt
measures taken to secure to ourselves the
benefits of the project. There can be no
risk in entering zealously into the move
mcnt, for, Independent of its general
advantage to our town and its vicinity in
the transmission Of intelligence ofall kinds,
it would, as mere matter Of investment,
probably prove very profitable stock, and
no loss and great benefit would be derived
from such disposal Of capital.
Since penning the above, We learn
that, at the suggestion of some of our
leading businessmen, sea public meeting
will be held in the Town Hall, on Satur-
day evening next, at the ringing of the
bell, to make arrangements to have the
Telegraph extended thro' this place. A
full attendance is desirable.

same principles of economy at the barn,

But We are told by some, who think

adds one to the number of his cattle, one

be converted into manure and less into

Homeopathy.

The London correspondent of the Phil
adclphia Bulletin, writes under date of
Sept. 1lth that DR.. Tcssier, physician
of the Hotel Dieu, great hospital in
Paris, has been for several years past 81
lcntly testing the claims of Homeopathy
in his hospital practice, and has now come
out decidedly in its favor; having re-
nounced all other practice in his wards for
the space of two years! He selected
Pneumonia (pleurisy), u disease frequent,
acute, serious, whose symptoms are marked
and not easily mistaken, as the subject Of
his first experiment with the method Of
Hahncmann. Having learned the spirit
of the formula nmilia sin,iHbus c"rantur,
it remained to satisfy himself as to the
action of remedies in inGnitcssimal doses.
To this experiment he devote six months
of clin,cai experiment with complete sue.
cess. 1t then remained for him to test
the therapeutic value Of the new method.
He gradually abandoned the practice OF
bleeding in the treatment of this disease,
and decided finally to bleed no more at all,
and to have recourse entirely to the " Ho-
m9opathic remedies" DIR. Tcssier's pub
lished experience concludes with the state
ment that for two years but one patient
has died. Two others who died, were re-
ceived when already in the agonies Of
death. Since this time have employed
the same treatment in great number of
cases of Pneumonia, and my first fears
have disappeared. say no more. Facts
