At White Deer Mills, was Informed
this morning, there is hop fll
prospect of the establishment Of Iron
works, New York city capitalist having
recently made some ore-land purchases i'll
the vicinity, with that view. This town
has improved considerably within two
years.
Our companion, vas a blind old man.
lie never was sick Until, while laboring at
heavy work, and exposed to the glare Of
hot fires, his eyes became infamed, and
burned like living Goals. His physicians
applied caustics and other irri,auts, thus
adding fuel to the fame, but to no good
purpose He was taken TO regular Eye
Infirnary, hut was Informed that he had
come too latc-that, if he had applied the
coldcst possible water to his eyes, until the
fire, or fever, or Inflammation was taken
out, he might have been cured Now, TIE
poor old man is hopelessly blind. The
eye is too delicate an organ for quackcry
or apprentice-physiciaus ever to NEEDLE
with. Hence those itincrants who are ped
ding cy ye-cups, new eye glasses, &C., should
be shunned, and see they are exposed by
some of the leading Journals in the cities

The heavy fall of snow added new
feature TO the interesting ride through
Loyalsock Gap. Not only the bright and
the pale hued evergrocns, but the multi !
tude of unfallen leaves of the deciduous
trees, were covered with suow-aud the
variety Of shades and intricacies Of color /,
ing, aud beauties of tints, of forest in au-
tumn, who can tel? Each limb and col |
orcd leaf decked with an incrustation of !
frost and the suns rays Illuminating all
The glorics Of Autumn are to-day crowned |
with the pure loveliness of Winter
Each prism Of fros,'s
sparkling gem;
Each leaf alclt's
A diaiem!'
The pencil Of the painter and the pen of
the poet can never inpart the lovelincss of
, gentle snow-storm upon the frost -hucd
foliage of grand old forest 1t is like
the sudden pale seal of Death on the brow
ot the ruby-lipped and rosy-checked in
fant-surpassingly beautiful, even under
the stroke Of the Spoilcr; each lovely in
itself, and made more lovely by the con-
trast.
We had no time to inspect the rising !
greatness of William por, but it is no
doubt destined to be quite little village.
At u, 2. NJ, We were taken abou. two /
miles to the railway cars, which run thence !
about Il miles to Trout Run. The pas
scngcr car is well wrought and furnished, |
and runs very easily. The freight cars
we're loaded with rails 1t is confidently
the road will be completed thro'

Corners, in bradford county, is about the
center, and about the summit, Of the Road,
and the machine shops are to be located
there, which will make CANTON one of the
first tpwns in the county; inhabited and
surrounded, it already is, by intelligent,
thrifty farmers and merchants and mcchan
les. Towando, Athens, and Troy must
keep wiic awake, or their new rival will
ou,strip them L.. .,l hail the day when cars
shall start from E,mira, labelled I" For
Baltimore, diccct," VIA WiIliamsport, Lew
isburs, and Sudbury, as predicted by Gen
