build only about ftty miles Of railroad; to
establish perfect communication with
the Lehigh region. The route would pass
through country that would furnish
much local travel and trade, while the
through business would be of such variety
and magnitude, that the stock could not
fail to be made q most profitable invest
ment The Lehigh Valley Railroad will
be commenced this year, and as it will
be built of the Pennsylvania guage of
track, coal cars from the Mauch Chunk
and upper L ehigh mines, can pass direc-
tly to our city without transhipment or
any hindrance whatsoever The distance
from Mauch Chunk to Philadelphia, by
canal is one hundred and twenty-four
miles. BY railroad it win not exceed nine
ty-miles, making saving in distance of
thirty-four miles All communication
between Philadelphia and the counties of
Northampton, Lehigh, Carbon, Luzerne,
Monroe, Pike, Wayne, Susquehannah and
Wyoming, would be over the Wassahick-
on and Saucon route. These nine coun-
ties, by the last census, contained 224,-
$50 inhabitants, and 1924 manufacturing
establishments, an aggregate of souls and
property exceeding some of the States of
the Union.
At the late session of the Legislature,
authority was given the Philadelphia and
North Branch Railroad Company to
build road from the mouth of the Quak-
axe, on the Lehigh to Wilkesbarre, on
the Susquehanna and letter from an
engineer, informs us that survey will be
made the present season. Any one who
wall inform himself of the statistics of the
different counties of the State, will read
lily apprehend the necessity which exists
for the speedy establishment Of a railroad
intercourse, between this city ond the veal
thy, populous and prosperous northeast
quarter Of the State. Between the Wis
sahickon and the Lehigh, railroad can
be built at much less cosq per mile than
any railroad ever constructed near Phila-
delphia. Responsible contractors can be
found who would take fifty per centum Of
the amount of their contracts in the stock
of the Company. When built and equip
ped, the road would at once earn revenue
to divide more than six per centum on
the whole cost 1t could never have a
rival that would rise to the dignity of a
competitor for the travel and tonnage
that would pass over it. VIII Philadel-
phia awake to the Importance of the move
ment, and act before New York snatches
the rich prize from our grasp?-PAtha.

ONE OF THE WoMEN-The Rhode
Island Temperance Advocate tells the
following good story Of a woman who is
worth her weight in gold
'' In Foster, there was IN Incorporate
man who had promised bis wife that he
would vote for the Maine Law candidates
for the Senate and House. On the morn
ing of election day, be was endced to the
tavern, and treated by his anti-law asso-
ciates till he was drunk. His wife heard
Of it, searched him out, and got him home
Here she gave him in an emetic, and got
him sober, and then borrowed horse and
wagon and drove him to the polls. lie
voted for the Maine Law candidate, and
his single vote prevented the election Of
rum Representative. The result Of it is,
that we get one, and possibly two Maine
Law men from that town"

A Prolific CALF.-We have received
from Mr.. W. III. Bristol, of Lewistown,
Niagara CO., sample of good, sweet but
ter, made from the milk of calf not e.
leven months cid This little wonder is
owned by Mr.. John NJ. Buttery, of Lew
istown, and has never had calf At two
months old it commenced giving milk, and
at six months produced sufficient to yield
a quantity of butter. We have assuran-
ces of these facts from Mr.. Bristol and
many other creditabte and respectable In
habitants of Lewistown, and can vouch
for their accuracy, notwithstanding their
remarkable nature. Nothing of a SINH
lar description, has ever before fallen
under our observation, nor are we aware
of such a singular event having previous
ly occurred. 1t is certainly worth the
notice Of naturalist, and is strictly true,
beyond question. A sample Of the but
ter is in our Office, and may be seen by
the curious in such matters. Buf Re-

Poor HumQn Nature.-In late rehg-
ious excitement in Boston, person met
Christian neighbor, who took him by the
hand and besought him to go to one OF
those meetings and become Christian.
Il have done 50, said he 'and have got
religion; am at last Christian
You are Chritian then all at once,

PRENTBNG.
Gentle Words.
BY c. STUART.

BY c. D. STUART.
4 young rose in the summer time
Is beautiful to ME,
And glorious the many stars
That glimmer on the sea;
But gentle words and loving hearts,
And hands to clasp my own,
Are better than the brightest flowers,
Or stars that ever shone!
The sun may warm the grass Of life,
The dew the dropping flower,
And eyes grow bright and watch the ligh
Of autumn's opening hOar;
But words that breathe Of tenderness,
And smiles We know are true,
Are warmer than the summer-t time,
And brighter than the dew.
1t is not much TIE word can give,
With all its subtle art
And gold Of gems aroGot the things
To satisfy the hart.
But, oh. if those who cluster round
The alter and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving smiles,
How beautiful is earth

20 CHLoROFoRM-We observe in the New
Haven papers notice ofthe death Of Mrs.
Emily Norton, from the inhalation of this
powerful an@sthetic, administered hy a
surgeon dentist When it is SO well known
to medical men that chloroform contains
not a particle of oxygen, and that the
number Of deaths from Its use, as borR
out by Hospital statistics, amounts to sew
eral hundred, it is surprising to see the
temerity with which some of them still
cling TO it. The doctor was exculpated
entirely by the eoroner's jury, instead Of
being imprisoned as he richly deserved.
Repeated experiments have proved that
sulphuric ether, though slower in its oper-
alton, produces the same anaesthetic effect
and is perfectly safe and innoxious, and
if men aclH persist in using highly dan
gerous agent to produce Inconsistencies
when they have at hand one that Is just
as eficacious and not at ali hurtful, it is
time that the lar would take the matter in
hand

A gentleman crossing one of the New
York ferries was accosted by one of those
peripateic venders of cheap literature and
weekly newspapers, who are to be found
in shoals about all our public places, with
" Buy Bulwer's last work sir! Only one
shillin'" The gentleman willing to have
laugh with the urchin, said, Why l
am Bulwer myself" Of went the lad,
and whispered to another little distance,
exciting his wonderment at the informa-
ton he had to impart. Eying the pre-
tended author of Pelhem with kind of
awe, he approached him timidly, and,
holding out pamphlet, said, modestly,
