Winter.

.F
Now winter comes, with awful gloom
To rule the varied year,
And nature seems to mourn her doom
And seems 10 shed tear.
Her fragrant flowers, her fields Of green,
Droop. wither and decay;
No more the birds are heard or seen,
They've sung their parting lay.
No more do soft refreshing showers
Or balmy dews descend;
For winter rules this cline of ours,
Prophetic Of lis end.
AS over the scene cast my eye,
This truth it seemed to say
Thou too, fond man, must shortly die,
Mus, shortly pass away.
O. then, in early life prepare,
Ere age or death shall come, . .#
For scenes where happy spirits are,
A blasi--a heavenly home
The birds have sought more genial skies,
The bowers of peace and love,
Like them, fond man, be early wise,
AND seek for joys above.

DP Mr.. Buck, the Engineer employed by citi-
zens of Newhurg and others along the route Of The
contemplated Rail Road from Chester to the De-
aware Water Gap, has now been engaged some
three weeks upon the the line, and has at length
fixed upon a ronte from the State line, through
Vernon, Hardysion, Sparta, Lafayette and New
ton, that presents level for nearly the whole dis
tance Of 81 miles, and where grades occur they
need not exceed Is feet TO the mile. 70 grade this
distance cannot exceed So, 900 to the mile. The
summit level ofthis route will be attained about one
mile west of Newton, and from thence the fall will
be about $50 feet to the Delaware, distance of
of about 20 miles; but it is thought the country is
so situated that this descent can be thrown equal
ly over the whole distance, so that no grade will
exceed 30 feet to the mile. The engineer seems
to be determined to select the best route, regard
less of the opinions of parties who may seek TO ad-
vance their own private interest at the expense of
the road s.-... .

is designed to connect the best coal fields in Penn

On Saturday the telegraph informed
us that black man named Sims, was ar
rested charging him with being fugitive
slave. There was danger, not of his be-
ing put in Jail and lingering as the white
debtor had fingered, but there was danger
of his being sent back to the South from
whence he had escaped, under the pro-
visions of the fugitive law. This case
excited to madness the men who had
stood by and seen the white man die in
in prison for debt. They fly together

The congregation were kneelng in

much shattered. After reaching the
main building, the electric fluid divided
into two separate currents-one passing
