tueir RECOMMENDATION 10 Oc as utSlraDl
as that of some other towns.
Between White Deer and Selinsgrov,
alone, on the mest bank Of the River, il
one year, coo, 900 bushels of Wheat wer'
shipped for market, besides other grain ant
products, and Flour to a very large amount
Stock has been taken in this Road BY
citizens of Union county as far back a.
the Beavers and citizens of Centre county
have manifested the livclicst interest in it
long before the Spruce Creek route wa.
projected.
But let us inform the NIiltonian how
large a scope of country and population
are to be benefited by this road.
In the first place, the long Northern
boundary of Union county-densely popu
lated, and rich in all natural resou ces-
has not to this day daily mail-the daily
mail and the Canal being on the opposite
side Of the River, and an extra and onerous
Bridge tax has thus for half century been
imposed on most of those obliged to cross
for trade Or travel. W. haze phil that
tribute tong enough. The people of the
West bank of this branch DEMAND and
WILL HAVE better accommodations.
In the next place, the Iron ore and
Limestone of Union county, with its un-
surpassed Agricultural products and Water
Pover-situated midway between the An
thracite and the Bituminous Coal Fields
afford openings for boundless operations in
business Of almost every description; and
with her superior salubrity will invite an
immense increase of Mining and Manufac-
turing establishments. With a Railroad,
the business world can get into Union
county, aud can get ont again.
ETrFarmers on and near the line, and
property-holders in general, may put down,
to-day, what their land would have sold
for, one year ago; and if they live till
1862, and compare their relative prices,
they will find an increased value of hund-
reds and thousands of Dollars caused by
this Improvement ~asa
Let US begin at Day VALLEY, or
WINFIELD, where are several stores and
Hotel, and where hundreds of farmers
come 10 and 20 miles for coal, iron, salt,
lime, &c, This small Valley also leads to
New Berlin, the County Seat The Rail-
way will be of immense. advantage to
very many citizens of the county 5, 10,
25 miles in its interior
This side of Dry Valley, GEDDEs,
MARSH & Co. are making brick for the
erection Of large Furnace The iron
ore and limestone Gas well as the clay and
sand) are within about stones throw of
each other, and Coal can be taken there
very readily by boats from any coal field
desired. Making iron for their own Foun-
dry, transportation only 4 miles. with all
these facilities the site is assuredly unsur-
passed in advantages, and must furnish
large amounts of iron work at profits
which tariffs can not destroy.
TUETLEvILLE, further up, is now alive
with laborcrs, and is the depository of a
small tract of country of much fertility
and increasing importance
LEwIsBUEG is the natural outlet of the
far-tamcd Buffalo Valley-of a creek
which, in the extent of country which it
drains, and in the number of mills and
other business establishments which it
supports, is uncqualled in Central Penn.
sylvania. A good portion of Penns Val
ley and also of Brush Valley in Centre
County, come to Lewisburg for trade, and
with produce and the Spruce Creek Road
would be a feeder to the Susquehanna
Road of no small amount. In addition
to numerous Private Schools for Males
and Females, the University and Female
Seminary, at Lcwisburg, are State hstitu-
ttons, and the accommodation" of $50
to 500 students, with their hundreds of
patrons and friends from all parts of Penn
sylvania, is matter not unworthy Of a
Company which has any liberality Or de-
sire to make moncy.-The recent intro
duction of steam engines here, as well as
other business enlargements, Indicate still
more rapid march in the steady progress
of improvement and wealth in this town.
At WEST MILTON Gas we see by the
Milton DemocraD Mcssrs. Tatcsman &
Sons are rapidly cnlarging their business,
no doubt preparatory to the accommoda-
ton" of the Miltonians and others who
may design travelling to or trading with
Lewisburg, Winfield, Sunbury, George
town, Dauphin, Harrisburg, and thence to
Philad., Lancaster, Columbia, or to York,
Baltimore, Washington, &c. The thou
sands of bushels of grain annually brought
to West Millionaire not always to be taken
over to the Canal Messrs.D. will doubtless
have cars Of their own, and permit tho Mil
toniaus to send their packages along with
