GLEANINGs FROM OUR NEIGHBORs.

MILToN.--We are pleased to learn through
the Mltoaida, that the projected car manu.
factory is likely TO go ahead, and that build
ings will be put up at an early day. The
gentlemen comprising the company are
Robert NJ. Frick, Esq, Dr. VIM. II. Marr,
DR.. L. Q. Davis. r. II. Mccormick. Esq,
and j. b. Davis. a court house has also
been suggested, but snch an establishment
will be worth dozen Court Houses, cspeci.
ally imaginary ones. A car factory has also
been in contemplation in Sunbury. There is
no point in Pennsylvania where ull the neces.
sary materials could be concentrated on more
advantageous terms. In less than year
Sunbury will be the termin of three impor-
tant rail roads.
