@rBoth branches of our State Legis-
lature have agreed to adjourn on Tuesday
the 18th April inst. The Senate holds
two sessions day, and there is a large
number of private bills to be reached.
DR.. Wetherill is pressing his Divorce
Bill
The Senate has passed, by large majo-
rity, the Susquehanna Railroad Bill, and
we hope the House will concur. We un-
derstand the Company is required to COM
plete the Road to Sunbury before toll can
be taken on any part of it. They are also
to extend it up the West Branch, at or
opposite Williamsport, thus forming a
connection with Elmira and the N. Y. &
Erie Road-and also up the North Branch
to Wilkes-Barre, where it will unite with
the roads of the Lackawanna Coal region,
leading again to the N. Y & Erie Road,
and to New York City.-This Road we
learn is to be built by Baltimore capital.
The people of the Susquehanna country
would have preferred connection with
Philadelphia; but if Baltimore finishes
these works, she will reap the profits.
pgOn Thursday afternoon last, the
beautiful residence of Capt. Saml Hunter,
at old Fort Augusta, near Sunbury, was
destroyed by fire. 1t broke out in a large
new barn, some distance from the house,
but strong wind prevailing, it extended
quickly to the wagon house, and thence to
the mansion. -Four engines we're soon on
the ground, from Northumberland and
Sunbury, but the heat and smoke were so
severe as to make them useless. The fur
niture of the house was mostly saved, but
in the barn were lost hay, GOO bush. corn,
several COWS and calves, ten pigs, and a
carriage. The meadows on the Island took
fire from the sparks. Part of the loss is
covered by insurance in the Lycoming
Mutual Company.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
time chosen indicates design, and it is sup
posed by some to have been the work Of
accomplices of the ruffians in Sunbury
Jail, to enable them to break out while
the people were absent at the fire. Those
prisoners have proved very troublesome.

 '' A new difficulty has arisen in the glass pal- ace of the Worlds Fair. During violent show CT many panes of glass were broken, and all the sparrows in Hyde Park and St. James Park availed themselves of the opportunity 10 enter. Itis esi- mated that there arc at least three hundred thou sand of these birds iR the building and much alarm is entertained lest they should damage the goods and annoy visitors. To get rid of them Is no easy matter. To shoot them would be destruc ton to the glass, and the Council of Supervision have sent to Rdinburg for thirty Of the best faleo who will come to London in their national coz tune.
