Overland Emigration to California.

All the accounts from the West agree
in estimating the overland emigration to
California during the present season as far
exceeding that Of any former period. A
letter from Iowa city states that the num-
Der Of teams which have crossed the fer
ries at that point is already fully up to
fifteen hundred. The trains average about
three persons and five animals each; so
that we have an aggregate of 4, 500 persons
and $500 animals who have passed this
one point to join the great caravan which
is now making its way across the plains
to California and Oregon. The immense
mass of emigrants who will thus soon be
beyond the bounds Of civilization and
thrown on their own resources to push
their adventurous way to the far OH point
Of destination, has naturally given rise to
painful apprehensions Of the suffering and
mortality which a scarcity of food may
occasion. The distress and suffering of
food may occasion. The distress and suf
fering of 1850, it is predicted, will be
nothing in comparison with this years ca
lamity, and the most powerful assistance
that can be rendered from either end of
the route will be inadequate to prevent the
occurrence of untold misery and death.
Less than FIVE years ago, in July, 1S47,
his Holiness Pope Plus TX. granted to the
prayers Of the Council of Baltimore, that
the blessed Virgin Mary of immaculate
conception should be special patroness Of
the United States. Let us, to excite our
gratitude and love to her in this month
devoted specially to her service, recount,
&c.
So says the Catholic Freeman's Jour
nal The Pope "granted" that the vir-
gin Mary should be the 81 e ;ial patroness
Of the United States" Does the Journal
mean to say that the Virgin Mary is under
obligations to obey the will Of the Pope,
and dispense her " patronage" wheresoever
the Pope shall think proper to grant 1t
How, if the Virgin should decline the
appointment Can the Pope compel her

recollected that there is now concern of

and about Is or 20 miles N. by W. of
Ralston, little better railway runs from
Blossburg to Corning. Instead of compile
ting the road from Ralston to Elmira, and its
parallel from Blossburg to the West Branch,
it is manifest that conjunction Of dtc t,co
interests which could be effected by so short
a connection, would be mutually advanta-
geous, and just what the public would rejoice
to see accomplished. Accordingly, it is sta
ted,a company ofNew Workers lever intent
on extending the arms Of trade Of that City,
have advanced the money necessary to
relay the Corning and Blossburg Road with
six feet rails and complete the link yet
wanting to the West Branch, by Trout
Run or some other route. We give the
project as we find it stated The Democrat
thinks that, although Gen. Packer is cleo
ted President Of the Williamsport g. Ell
mira Railroad Company, that Road will
not go on in our generation, and that the
new project is feasible and sure. A large
public meeting recently held in Williams
port, speaks in the same encouraging terms.

that the law would be dead letter in his

A MERRY YOUTH.

Last week the "Swainscot Dorcas Sew

and on motion it was resolved: That ou

nothing can be done to correct the man
ners Of Tony. The next day the parsor
waited on Tony senior, and informed hin
respecting the object of his visit. Tony
listened patiently, and then replied.
'Parson, I'd let Tony 60 to meeiin' ev.

more manners than my Tony, and can

The parson nodded his assent.
"Now see, III call" And raising his
voice to the highest pitch, he shouted:
TONY"
The response was quick and equally
loud:
"Sir"
"Don't you hear that parson?" Said the
old man. Don't you call that manners!"
"That is very WE'LL" said the parson,
"as far as it goes"
"What do you mean by as far as il
goes? The boy, sir always speaks re-
spectfully TO me when | call him;" and,
raising his voice, he again called:
"Tony." M
The response. "Sir." was equally loud
and prompt. Again the old man called:
"Tony."
The boy dropped half dressed fish,
and shaking his fist at his sire yelled out:
" "You miserable black old drunken
snob; I'll come their in two minutes and
maui you like blazes!'
The parson was astonished, and the old
man was disconnected for moment, but
instantly recovering himself, he tapped the
parson on the shoulder,saying:

well as manners. That chap will be an or
