Correspondence Of the Lewisburg Chronicle.
MISSION OF SAN JOSE,
(Cali.) Nav 20, 1858.

Mr.. Editor-I take this method of full
filling an almost innumerable number of
engagements to "write," and hope all who
have my promise will accept this as an
earnest of my remembrance. Your paper
brings me many pleasant moments and
when l tell you that l read even its old
advertisements, you may imagine how its
more interesting matter is appreciated.
The advancement of this country almost
exceeds the imagination. Cities spring up
as it were in day, and fortunes are made
in an hour-and as soon lost. Business
is as auctuating as the surface of the sea.
To-day you will pay an exorbitant price
for an article; tomorrow you can procure
the same at price as low and even lower
at times than in the old States. This il

The T0rchlight Procession

In Reading, Pa, on the evening of Satur-
day, the llth inst, is described by the
newspapers of that city as having been a
very iine display. 1t consisted of mcchan-
les and workingmen, and numbered from
1900 to 1000 persons, 500 torches, and
20 to 80 transparcncies. The men marched
six and eight abreast, and the line exten-
dcd or quite two-thirds of a mile. The
streets swarmed with spectators, and the
glare from the blazing torches made the
sight truly brilliant one.
The various trades marched in separate
companies, bearing transparencies and ac-
companicd by music. Some Of the paint
ings on the transparencies were truly
laughable-one represented bull trying
to stop locomotive another had "Aunty

latter by ball pushed by insects, In the
van of the procession was borne an illu-
mined Transparency, five feet high, in the
shape Of smoke stack, bearing the in-
scription, "Thc Locomotive is the Apostle
of Civilization" The workmen on the
Reading Railroad bore trabsparencies rep
.escnting Reading without Railroads
and " Reading with Railroads" They are
TINS described by the Gazette: "On the
former, the pleasures of stage travelling
were duly portrayed, and the old borough
as it appeared in by gone days;
on the latter, business of every kind in full
and active operation, the appearance of the
city denoting the highest prospcrity-in

started, and the cars just started, and the
opponents of subscription endeavoring to

Fires and Fire Proof Buildings.

The frequency of fires in densely built
portions of cities and towns, and the i'm
mense losses Of property occasioned there
by, have had the tendency to increase the
rates of insurance. In a single fire, from
$500, 900 to $500, 900 have been destroyed.
People complain, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, when they are charged more insu-
rance-madc necessary by increased risk
but they seldom take the trouble of
guarding cfFectually their property, by ma
king the buildings fre-proof. When iron
is so cheap and so we'll adapted to strength
aud security in buildings, it is singular that
it is not more generally used in their con-
struction. Even where the fronts of hou-
ses have been made of iron, the doors,
door and window castings, surbases, joists,
&C., have been constructed Of wood, so
that the houses have within themselves
the materials for spreading fires from the
basement to the roof Why could not the
larger edi6ces be built entirely of iron, or
stone and iron, substituting the latter ma

Saturday Evening.

How sweet the evening shadows fall,
Advancing from the weS,,
As ends the weary wee. OF toll,
And comes the day of rest.
Bright o'er the earth the star Of eve
Her radiant beauty sheds,
And myriad sisters calmly weave
Their light around our heads.
Rest, man, from labor; rest from sin;
The worlds hard contest close;
The holy hours with God begin,
Till time for sweet repose.
Bright DER the earth The morning ray
Its sacred light will cast;
Fair emblem of the glorious day
That evermore shall last.

LIouon ON SUNDAY.-The "Sunbury
American" states that the tavern keepers
in that judicial district do. not keep open
houses, for the sale of liquors, on Sunday.
Judge Jordan, and his associates, Judges
pentlcr and Weiser, are Of opinion that
tavern keeper should not have any greater
privilege in this respect than merchants,
tradesmen and others, ,.who are prohibited
from selling any Of their goods or wares
on the Sabbath.

is our national flag; and they throw it t.

this strikes a foreigner, may be seen by the
paragraph below, which We copy from an
Euglishman's first impressions of the Crys-

TAXPAYERS, READ!

TAXPAYERS, READ!
PROFITABLE SToCK.-The Commissio
ners of franklin county, Ohio, HAVE
SOLD THEIR STOCK in the Cincinnati
Il Cleveland Railroad Company AT thirty
per cent. dLoge par. BY this, the County
realizes from 5000 to $40, GOO clear
profit No MONEY WAS EVER PAID
oyER-the County only loaned its credit.
lW-We commend the above recorded
fact 20 the serious and candid attention of
ever Editor and Of every citizen of Union
and Northumberland counties. Each of
these counties has about $4,000 stock
in the Susquehanna RAN, oad, of which
100000 belong to each county in its
corporate capacity. Every Tax. Payer is,
therefore, stock holder in the Road, and
as such personally interested in its pros
perl'y. Its success seems as probable as
that of any unfinished load can. But its
prosperity, and the worth of its Stock, will
depend in degree upon the public favor,
and especially upon the god will Of the
people among whom it passes.
In 4 popular government like ours, it is
the right aud duty Of every citizen to o.
pose or approve any public measure, or
any candidate, before them. But when
the majority have decided question, by
the constitutional forms, any factious hin-
fl, Il
as 1t Is uupattlot.c. Democrats must sub
nit to Wing officers if they are elected,
and elect others at the next opportunity If
they can. Whigs must submit 10 the Ia
Tiff law of lSIG-a;Lough they can not
approve of it-until they may be able to
improve it. And SO with these County
Subscriptions-they were opposed, by ali
who saw fit, until they have been perfected
by all the forms of law; it is now the
duty Of every good citizen to submit, and
to prevent any further acts Of that nature
if he deems proper.
At present, every form of hostility to
the construction and the prosperity Of the
SusGuehauna Railroad, is not on y contra
try to the letter and the spirit of our free
institutions, but also directly against our
interests, personally and as counties. All
NAV have some influence, in eleyating or
dcpreciaiing the value Of the stock, and in
SO far of promoting Or injuring their own
interests Political, personal, and loca!
wishes and feelings should no longer be
allowed to harass or dcpreciate an object
in which the common good is SO deeply
and so directly involved.-We think the
most determined opponent of the Road, if
he is honest in his views, is now bound BY
self-interest as well as by law, to refrain
from any act tending to injure the Road,
and also to SNAKE the best Of it by giving
to it his influence and his patronage.
TO Union county, sale Of Its Bonds
might relieve every citizen from payment
of State Tax for one year. Or from
County Tax for two years. Or, it might
rebuild the Courthouse and Offices at
New Berlin, if the People decide against

IMPORTANT CAUTION TO BoYs.-Tht
Home Journal, in condemning the tobacco
using propensity, so strong of late among
boys, mentions the following fact:
GA few weeks ago, youth Of sixteen
arrived in this city to prosecute his studies
with a view to professional life. He came
from distant State, and was to remain
here for some years. A week or two after
his arrival, he was seized with paralysis
in both legs, which advanced upwards till
nearly the nearly the lower half of his
body was benumbed and apparently life
less. The most distinguished physicians
in New York attended the case, but no
relief being afforded, the unfortunate young
man has been taken on his way home, and
there is but little hope of his recovery.
The cause of his disease is stated by the
physicians to be chepiny tobaccco-a habit
which he early acquired, and persisted in
to the time of his attack"

| ExcURsION.-The be-fagged Members
Of the NewYork Legislature, one Saturday

Of SIX cars with 800 passengers, ran the
distance of 305 miles (including stoppages)
in less than eight hours.-Thc whole thing
was doubtless got up to aid Gov. loves
