FATAL ACCIDENT.

On Saturday last, at Lemon Place, on the
Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad MIR.
Stephen Plank, a farmer, who was driving his
team, loaded with grain, 10 a neighboring
warehouse, was run over and killed by the en-
gine
At this point the wagon road runs parallel
with the railroad, and the near approach OF
the locomotive frightened the horses, and in
duced Mr. Plank 10 dismount from the horse
and hold those more fractions. They were
both going westward, and on a descending
grade, at the crossing, came in side collision,
wedgewise, Mr.. P. getting under the engine,
became entangIed in the machinery fastened
10 the driving axle, revolved with it, until
the train, breaking every bone in his body
save leg, that had been cut off in the frs
instance He was wound so tight arount
the shaft and so wedged between the firt
box and the driving wheel, that to enablr
them to extricate the mangled corpse, the,
had TO resort to jacking up the engine Ian

STATE REPORTER.

We observe that Mr. Packer has read a
bill in place, in the House of Representatives,
vesting the appointment of "Reporter" of the
decisions of the Supreme Court, in the Judges,
after January, 1852. There ale others who
think the office should be made elective
We think Mr.. Packers bill would be very
generally acceptable. The Judges are deeply
interested in having their opinions properly
reported, and as they appoint their clerks,
they should probably also appoint their Re-
porter
Mr. Harris, the present Reporter, we under
stand is endeavoring TO have this district
| abolished and annexed TO the Harrisburg dis
tfict. This, no doubt, would be more conve-
nient for Mr.. Harris who probably thinks the
Office was made for the man, instead OF the
man for the Office and that the expense anc
Inconvenience Of the people is matter OF nc
importance when compared with his own
Mr.. Harris, it is said, is not pleased with on
place. This is indeed unfortunate. The
Judges of the Supreme Court, from Judge
Tilghman down, have always expressed them
selves highly pleased with Sunbury, and W.
regret that the extremely nice and fas,idiou
taste of Mr. Harris should have been offend
ed in any particular.

sUNByRY AND ERIE ROAD.

We extract the following articles from the
Eric Gazette. They will be of interest TO
those who have earnestly looked forward TO
the construction Of the great work alluded to.
"The newspapers along the surveyed route
of the Suubury and Erie Railroad are en-
deavoring to awaken the public midland
especially the mind of Philadelphia capital
is,s--io a sense Of its vast importance. They
truly argue that no improvement could be
made which would 50 much benefit Penn
syyania generally, and Philadelphia par
ticularly, and that its speedy construction is
demanded by considerations of the highest
public interest. The Clinton Democrat, pub
lished at Lock Haven, on the Susquehanna,
in urging the enterprise upon the attention of
Philadelphians, says: awe confess we
would like TO see our city cousins open the
way 10 the Lakes. We have mountains of
wealth along the route--wealth which will
only burn out with the sun, as has been said
by shrewd searcher after the hidden trea-
surcs of the earth. But that wealth must see

Philadelphia Daily Negs from the town Of
Warren, communicates the following, among
other, home truths :--"flad the Sunbury and
Eric Railroad been built instead of that by
the Juniata TO Pittsburg the New York and
Erie Road would not have been built. The

THE DEATH OF AUDUBON, THE
NATURAaIST.

John James Audubon, the orniiholo1isl,
died at his residence, on the banks of the
Hudson, January II, 1851, aged sevcnty.siy
years This celebrated man was the son Of
an Admiral in the French navy, who tool,
him 10 France, where he received a varied
and accomplished education. He returned
10 Louisiana, his birthplace, at the age of
about seventeen years, and entered upon his
paternal estates. He early manifested his
fondness for natural history, which he per-
sued through lie with unabatcd enthusiasm,
and with a success that has made him a
worldwide reputation.
The life like fidelity and beauty of define.
alton of the Birds of America, placed him it
the first rank as an artist, whilst his minute
accuracy in describing their habits, proveC
him TO have been the closest observer.
He was as stauuch as man as he was re-
nowned as naturalist. The chldlike sim
plicity Of his manners and cheerfulness o
temper were worthy of all imitation, ant
made him beloved by all who knew him

ELECTION OF U. S. SENATOR.

The Harrisburg correspondent Of the
Pittsburg Tribune, giving an account OF the
election of Mr.. Broadhead, and the triumph
OF Gen, Cameron over bis enemies, thus re-
fers to Mr.. Buchanan.
The best thing that could happen him now,
in his old days. is TO take unto himself a vile
that he might perchance get consolation
from one true and disinterested soul, who
would possess heart; for this commodity
"Buck" is said not 10 possess.
Had Judge Black kept clear of the Buch-
anan influence his chance would have been
much more TO the purpose. His vote dwin-
died down TO four-alas, Premier! You have
fallen like sacrifice, never TO rise again
This will be a good lesson in future Tor gen
temen with commissions of Judges in ihel
pockets, not to play the mendicant in roam
ing about circuits that don't come within
their jurisdiction. Old Simon did the worl
for Broadhedd, as | expected-that if h,
would not be successful himself his friend
could and would make the Senator. Cam
eron made everything bend TO accomplish
the work of destruction TO Buchanan and hi
friends. This, you see, he accomplished /
the fulness of his heart.
The Senator elect invited Gen. Cameron
dine with him in honor, as suppose, OF tn
triumph achieved over the combined forces
had the pleasure of drinking glass of win
with the Two heroes and slayers of Buchanan
Black, Woodward & Co. Cameron was toas
ed as the nert Vice President of the Unite
States; this will throw Foney into fits. Bl
the will of the people must be carried out
things will now go on here more calmly aft
