Of twenty dollars fnr his apprehension.

ERIE RAIL RoAD-Last week we gave
an extract from the Philadelphia Bulletin,
deprecating the course Of the President Of
The Sunbury & Erie Company, in attempt
ing to force the Susquehanna Company of
the ground. The conduct of the former
Company does not meet the appreciation Of
any reasonable man along the line Of the
road. 1t is generally regarded as speci-
men of impudence and efirontery singular
ly glaring. scarcely credi,able to any con-
cerned. The following paragraph, from
the Erie Gazette" will show the opinion
of the people at the other end Of the State.
-Su,s5ury American.
GA contest is likely to take place be-
tween the Sunbury & Erie and Suseue-
hanna Railroad Companies, for the right
to the ground between Sunbury and Iar-
risburg, for Railroad purposes. As the
difficulty threatens to retard the progress
of the Sunbury Road, we hope the Com
pany acting in its name will yield the ques-
ton, and devote their means and energies
to the mere essential and important fea-
lures Of the enterprise

6S- The Electoral Vote OF each State, under the New
appointment, will be as foilows--(the States marked in
The Rail Road.

We have the pleasure OF announcing
that on Tuesday evening last, the Bor-
ongh authorities of Lewisburg, by unan-
imous vote-at.ested by the signatures Of
the Burgess ard each member of the
Town Council-madc formal and official
subscription Of Seventy Five Thousand
Dollars to the Capital Stock of the Sus-
quehanna Rail Road; being an increase
of $4,000, over the amount they had
originally agreed to subscribe. This sub
scription evinces a sagacious foresight and
enlightened public spirit, that reflect the
highest credit upon the Burgess and Coun-
Gil; and will not only facilitate the oper-
ations of the Company, but tend greatly
to advance the local interests and general
prosperity Of our growing town, and the
adjacent country-as we shall take occa-
sion in few weeks to more particularly
demonstrate.
One by one, the difficulties and embar-
easements inyidious!y thrust in the Way Of
this great enterprise, are yielding to the
force Of truth, and the energy and perse-
verance Of the Directors aad friends Of the
road; and We speak advisedly when we
state our confident expectation, that it
will net be many weeks before we can
inform cur readers that every serious 90.
stac!e in the way Of the early completion
Of this road has been effectualiy removed,
and the Company launched on the full
tide Of successful experiment.
a corps of Engineers Of the Sus1ue-
hanna Company, under the direction CT
himber Cleaver, Esq. have made various
preliminary surveys in and near tow,
a few days past; and are now engaged
in locotiny the road from the foot of Uni
versity Hill to Dry Valley.
We see by our exchanges that on the
Both of June, the Committee to raise sub
scriptions for the Sunbury g. Erie Railroad
in tue City Of Philadelphia, met and COM
pared notes. The individual subscriptions
were found to amount to S959,700, and
the municipal to $685., ,000-total 81 ,955,-
700. A sum was subscribed on the spot
sufficient to make an aggregate Of two
millions three thousand nine hundred
dollars. This does not include the ST..
100000 which the City ought to sub.
scribe. This is the first really sensible
movenen. on the part Of the S. & E.
company that we have noticed for sons
time, and hope it may be safely regarded
as evidence of a disposition on the part of
its officers to direct their energies and re-
sources to their proper and Legitimate
field Of operations

Growing Wheat.
graved.

a French farmer has taken out patent
for Improvements for increasing produce
of autumn wheat. These Improvements
are based on a supposed discovery Of the
pa,en,ee that autumn wheat is, contrary
to the generally received opinion, a biennial
plant and it is to develope its natural ca.
pabilitiea, and rescue the plant from the
state of degeneracy to which q long course
Of improper management has reduced it,
that are the objects proposed to be attained
BY him The ground in which the wheat
is to he sown must be titled and well ma
nured, aud the sowing is directed to take
place between the Goth of April and the
10th Of May: it may be few days earlier
or later, but somewhere between these dates
IS, the patentee says, the proper moment.
The fed being in squares Of about
quarter Of an aero each, diagonal rows Of
holes are dug at distance OF from fifteen
to twenty inches apart, in each Of which
are deposited four grains Of wheat arranged
| in @ circle or otherwise at little distance
from each other. This done, the holes are
filed in, and when the plants have grown
to height Of about four inches, three out
of the four plants (Which are supposed te
have sprung up from the seed) are to be
pulled up, leaving one plant only, and that
the strongest and most healthy; the pro
duce Of wheat from which, when it arrive:
a. maturity, viii be very considerably in
creased over the usual yield. By follow
ing out this course of treatment, the quail
ity of grain will be increased each sue
ceeding year until it arrives at state Of
perfection, of which, under the ordinary
system, it is supposed to be quite incapable
