" LANCASTER CoLLlERy.-The brancb b

was completed about week ago, since
which, the operators, Messrs. Cochran &
Peale, have been sending down their coal,
daily, for shipment at this place. Most OF
1t, We observe, is consigned to the markets
at Lancaster, York, sc. The demand fol
coal at this place, at present, is greater
than the supply, owing, we understand, tC
the scarcity of miners.

Christopher FaIlon, Esq, President Of
the sunbury s Erie rail road, has resigned,
and the Office has been accepted, tempora-
rily, BY John Tucker, Esq, President of the
Reading rail road. Mr.. Fallon, in his let
ter oil resignation, speaks encouragingly of
this great enterprise, and courts the stric-
test scrutiny into his conduct. In another
column we publish some extracts from the
proceedings of the Philadelphia county
Board in relation 10 the approval of the
subscription OF two millions Of dollars by
the Commissioners OF Philadelphia county,
which contain some statements hom the
President in regard to the amount Of sub
scliptions. The subject was post poned
for the present on the motion Of some OF
the friends of the roaI. There is no doubt
in our mind that large subscriptions will
be made now by both the city aud county.

THE wILLuAmspoRr PRESS.

The editor OF the Press at Wiliamsport,
in reply 10 our article Of the 22d ut., com
mences by referring TO the discovery of
galvanism. It's application, however, is
about as foreign 10 the subject, as the edi- !
tors argument is 10 the case in question:
There is, certainly, no occasion for galvan-
ism, or any other ism to produce a soon
tracton," spasmodic or otherwise, in the
mind of our neighbor Of the Press. 1t
would be worse than useless 10 improve on
nature in this respect. In some cases, she
has so firmly set her seal, that il would
defy the utmost efforts oi art, TO produce a
change. The editor seems to think that
Sunbury ''may yet become a busy inland
mart" thanks to her coal. Even this ex-
torted admission is accompanied by an i'll
naured sneer at our neighbors across the
water Whether "beiogged by bad whs-
key" or some other evil spirit, this fault
finding, not 10 say slandrrlng of our neigh
bors, argues not only bad temperament
and diSordered digestion, but an ungenerous
and unchristain-lke disposition. The editor
denies any intention 10 decry the "real
merits of the Philadelphia and Sunburv
rail road," and admits its value for coal
transportation. We may here say that the
company look upon the passenger business,
on this road, important as it might be to
ordinary roads, as small matter, compared
to the coal, iron lumber and other busi-
ness, though there is no doubt but that the
road will always be a popular and pleasant
one for travellers.
That some would prefer the Packet route
especially in bad weather, We shall not dis.
pute, but that majority Of those who hav,
tried both routes, should do so, is aItogetheI
probematical. But the idea that the Packe
route is the cheapest, We presume, never
entered the mind Of any one in his sobe
senses. The sum OF Sf,75 will put an,
man OF temperate habits, through, from
Northumberland TO Philadelphia, including
meals and all. Can this be done on tn,
other route ! On the completion OF ,h
Susquehanna road, there can be no ques
ton, but that it will be the great route 70
travellers, especially when the road fror
Harrisburg TO Reading is flashed. Thcs
roads will be completed in less than tw
years, when Sunbury will be less than sis
and Williamsport less than eight hour
from Philadelphia, route which Tor tim
and speed will defy all competition. A
that the people Of Sunbury ask, is fai
fight, an open field and honest competition

about four feet from the nose to the

when distended, would take in a peck

eating a most voracious disposition.
After dissecting him, his stomach was
found to contain f g full-grown shad,
two hard-shell crabs, and moderate
sized puppy dog of the terrier breed.
But what was most singular of all. was
his being supplied with two hands,
just about that part of the breast
where the siamese twins are connec-

gers, and a thumb about the size of a
four years old child. He was also
provided with fms similar to those of

~A country paper publishes the
oft refuted paragraph, about brandy,
which says that Raymundus Sillius, a
celebrated alchymist who died in l415
invented it. The absurdity Of any
mans inventing or discovering brandy
is very apparent. The National Tenn
perance Union mas employed cslebra-
ted chemists and physicians to prove
that Alcohol is an artificial result-that
it is deadly poison and should be in
terdicted by law; but this does not
change nature or prevent the hourly
chemical action that results in pro-
ducing alchohol. There is not sim
gle fruit with which Divine Providence
has seen fit to bless the earth, that
does not contain alcohol, or the ele-
ments necessary to produce it. Alco-
hol which is so great blessing and
curse to man, is the result Of a fer
mentation, governed by the same i'm
mutable laws Of Heaven, whereby
every atom Of the vast globe is kept in
perpetual motion.
