EXAMINATION OE THE REMAINS OF AR

rhe body of Arthur Spring was taken to
the Disseciing Room Of the Philadelphia
College of Medicine, on Saturday morning,
and anatomcally examined by Professor
James McClnlock in the presence of Drs.
Kirkbride, DR.. Evans and several physicians
and other scientific gentlemen, and The stu

The chronological developments OF the
head Of the murderer, were Characteristic Of
the man. The head was large, being over
% inches in circumference. The perceptive
faculties were strong and The reflective weak
Benevolence and other organs, which are the
indications of good disposition, were found
TO be very poorly developed, while selfish
nesr and fimness were large, and cautious
ness was well developed, Secretveness was
large, and the animal organs, such as COM
ba,veness and destruciveness, were enor-
nous. The base OF the brain was very
large. The forcpatt of The head, was very
small, and the back very large indicating

THE STAGE ROUTE TO porrsvILLE.


The stage proprie,ors at Pottsville, not
content with the exhorbitant charge oi
s 2 S7i fare, between Northumberland and
this place to Pottsville, amounting TO "a cts
per mile, have commenced the business,
not exactly OF levying mail, but OF levy
ing contributions on the baggage OF Passen-
gers who are so unfortunate as to be COM
PEELED to travel in their line. The route,
though mountainous, is a pleasant one, the
road is good and the scenery wild and ro-
mantle. A5ou! twenty five years ago, Mr.
John Weaver of Pottsville, formerly OF
this place, established the first daily line ot
coaches over this route. The fare then,
when stage fare was thirty per cent higher,
every where, than now, was only 81 20,
and the time occupied about one third less
Some years after, Mr.. Weaver sold out his
interest, to other parties Since that time
the route has been used as an experimental
ore, 10 try the patience and pockets OF the
travelling community. A few days since
gentleman IA clergyman) and two young
ladies, bound from Philadelphia 10 this
place, had their trunks closely examined al
Pottsville. AS their trunks somewhat ex.
ceeded the so pounds allowed, as most o.
them will, the young ladies were taxed
50 SO and the gentleman rs cents extra
The proprietors, no doubt, thinking them
selves extremely liberal in not charging
them for the extra time they kept them OF
the road.
But brighter, better day is dawning
In August next, the Philadelphia & Sunbu
ry rail road company will have their car
running as far as Mt. Carmel. A new con
trolling power will put different face up
on matters. The time of travelling will b.
reduced from ~ to l3 hours, to or 7, an,
the Philadelphia morning mails will reacl
us before sundown of the same day.

SUNRuRY AND ERIE RAILROAD.

We understand that MIR. Fallon, the Pre-
sdent of the company, has gone TO Europe
for the purpose of negotiating with capital
lists, for The sale OF the bonds Of this road,
which he had prepared and taken with
him. The former negotiations, with a
house in London, we have been told, failed
in consequence Of letters having gone out
in the same ship with the agent, which re-
flected severely upon the character and
standing of the officers of The company.
Whatever may be the issue of Mr.. Fallon'S
mission, there is no question but what the
road will be made. Should Mr.. Fallon
fail in negotiating the bonds, new organi-
zation OF the board will, no doubt, take
place and the city councils will then, we
presume, make the subscription Of 81 ,O0O,-
900, and there are other capitalists ready
to take hold. The construction Of the
road from Sunbury to Erie is fixed fact
Nothing can induce the company TO alter
their intentions. Whatever delays occur
though vexa'ious, will be found to be only
temporary.
