As line for travel between the North

can not be over estimated, while the vast

Of Philadelphia as a market for that article,

should be a sufficient incentive to induce
the building Of the road.

Dss-That the work of God has been
declining in this Presbytery for some years,
is evident to all who have given the subject
any attention. This has been the case not
merely in some Of the churches, but we
believe in sll. True, tho outward means
of grace have been dispensed as usual and
attended to with apparent interest; yet
The fact is so, and it is unusual and
lamentable, that for several years past not
single church in this Presbytery, accor-
ding to our recollection, has been favored
with a revival Of religion. The general
suspension of the SPIRITS influences is
sadly shown in the small number of addi-
tions 10 the churches. During the last

see if he could not be protected in its
manufacture, as he had discovered the
secret In England he could have secured
a patent; our patent laws afforded no pro.

ton TO the Railroad from Harrisburg ,hro'

The route Of this proposed railway
connection is highly favorable, and opens
f. the enterprise of Bait more rich and
fertile prospect in the future, following,
as it does, the Valley of the Susquehanna
River the entire dist ,nce, say ninety miles,
with an average grade of two feet and "a
halt to the mile. Within the INST sIN
miles Of its line, it consummates direct
and perfect connection between the ork
and Cumberland, and the Pennsylvania
Rail Roads on the west bank of the Sus-
ouehsnna River. This division when
completed, will, besides saving the expense
and avoiding the risk of crossing that river
twice, give TO Baltimore over Philadelphia
an advantage Of thirty miles IN the dis
tance to and from Pittsburg, the great
emporium Of western trade.
The next important feature is OF local
character, being connections with four
distinct railroads leading 10 as many coal
districts, namely the DauPhin and Sus.

the Shsmcxin.

HORRIBLE DEATH on TIE ICE.-Wc are
panied TO record hcart-rcnding occur
renee on Sunday last in Bern township,
some seven miles above Reading, bv which
a young lady, named Miss MILLER, aged
about twenty years, met with an untimely
death. Wishing to visit neighbor on the
opposite side of the SchuyliiII, at Koenig's
ferry, Miss Miller walked on the ice until
she had reached the middle of the river,
when the ice broke, immcrsing her in wa
ter up 10 the arms, and seizng hold of the
edge Of the ice, kept from sinking alto
gether. Her cries brought the neighbors
to the shore, and a boat was obtained for
her relief, but alas, none had the cour-
age to enter it for her rescue. Those
on shore looked on for more than an hour,
when the poor girl, becoming exhausted
and frozen, slipped off and disappeared
under the ice. Even after she had given
up her hold on the ice, she swan on the
surface for some time, and yet no effort
was made to save her life. In a few hours
the body was recovered, and an inquest
held by Alderman MILLER, Of this city
Reading Press.
