T. We omitted last week to mention
the death of Peter Smiley, of Northumber-
land, who was accidentally shot on New
Years eve, in Mahonoy township, by Mr..
Gotshall. He was standing close by Mr..
Gotshall, who was placing cap on his gun,
which was accidentally discharged, the
wad passing through the forehead of the
deceased. Mr.. Shiley was an industrious
young man, and leaves wife and several
children. The folly of such practices, as
shooting away the old year, amounts almost
to criminality.

~ SuAmoKIN.-This town, on the com
pletion of the Philadelphia and Sunbury
Railroad, now in progress, is destined to
become place of considerable business and
activity. The town is situated on the rail
way, about nineteen miles from Sunbury,
not quite half way between Sunbury and
Pottsville. II will be the principal depot
for all the mining operations of the Coal
region. The extensive coal fields COM
mence at Shamokin, and extend east to
Potsville. The location Of the town is well
chosen-the water is good and the place
healthy. When the new iron track is laid
down and locomotives placed on the road,
which is TO be done by the first OF May,
Shamokin will be but one hours ride from
this place. Our Shamokin friends have
waited long and patiently for the 'good
time coming" which, we think, has now
certainly arrived.

what our landlords would call good one.
The first week it adjourned on Thursday,
not for want OF causes at issue, but because
parties and counsel were not ready. The
second week court adjourned about the
same time, for similar causes. Judge Jor-
dan presided, except in cases where he had
been interested as counsel, which were tried
before Judge Higgins Of Schuylkill county.
The Judges worked late and early, while
the court lasted.

" The present winter is certainly a
most extraordinary one. The winter sea-
son is half over and yet there have not been
three cold Gays. The river and streams
are as clear of ice as they were in midSum-
mer. In Boston where they generally have
all their ice secured before this time, not a
block has been cut. 1t is true, we have
yet two winter months before us, during
which time we may have as much cold
weather as is agreeable or convenient.

Thus it will be seen that the route
by way Of the Philadelphia and SUM-
bury and the Mine Hill rail road, 10 Will
Transport, is ten miles shorter than any
other route. II is perhaps proper to say,
that Mr.. Nichols may refer TO another sur
vey, different from the present location.
A correspondent from Cattawissa, in the
Ledger OF the 7. inst. states that ''the max-
imum grades between Wllliamsport and
Philadelphia, are less by Cattawissa, Ta-
maqua, SC. than by Sunbury, Harrisburg
and Lancaster"
Now when it is known that the maximum
grade of the Cattawssa route, from Tamen-
end TO Tamaqua, is over so feet to the mile,
and that from Williamsport TO Harrisburg,
the maximum grade is not 3 feet to the mile,
we need only say that comment is unne-
cessary. We repeat, that We have no de-
sire TO disparage any rival route. All We
ask is fair play and correct statements.
