The Spruce Creek Railway.

Mr.. WAEFoGD's complete and more
exact survey Of al TIE proposed rou;e-
for this road, was this week issued along
:he line, ami sill Of course be carefully
pcrused before the Railroad meeting next
Tuesday. The Brush Valley route Is
again pronounced impracticable, but the
other routes are found to be shorter in dis
tance, more moderate in grades, and less
costly, than Mr. EMMETTs report would
Indicate.
The communication Of "CLilisqCaquo,
last week, we admitted to our columns,
not because We deemed some parts Of It
lust, but because The same opinions have
been elsewhere entertained as TO want Of
energy in the enterprise, if not opposition
to it, in Lcwisburg. This opinion was
first raised during our sectional excite
ments, and is hot yet outgrowu. We de-
sire to say that we have never heard d DO
zen men in Lcwisburg deny the feasibility
or the expedieney of the road; after ba'
lancing its advantages and Disadvantages
the former seem decidedly to outweigh
the latter. Nor have our enterprising cit
izcns cyinced any lack Of effort in arousing
concentrating, and keeping up the public
feeling for the road in calling and attend
ing meetings; iu obtaining the charter
and in subscribing stock. We would NO
dctract word from the just praise bcstow
cd by "Chilisquaqpc" upon Geo. f. Mil
Ter, Esq, who is foremost aud liberal il
every good work of the kind. But Mcssrs
Wm. Cameron, Wm. Frick, Eli Siifer. G ID
des, Marsh & Co, each took $1,000 il
stock Geo. F. Miller, John Walls, Pete
Beaver, John Cham berlin, Thomas Haye:
took $1,000 each-and perhaps others tool
equal sums, of which we are not now in
formed-we suppose between $4,000 an(
$50 900 in the whole Col. Slifer, th,
President, has not only spent his time, bu
advanced money, and has received no pay
ard Mr.. Warfori, Chief Engineer, has re
ccivcd no pay. If what Lewisburg la
done for this road is canlity, what wou!'
its Friendship be :?
We doubt not some will say 'Lcwisburl
should subscribe more," but that is ma.
ter which the people of Lcwisburg judg
for themselves, just as they do in Buffalo
Mifflinburg, Hartley, Centre county, an,
elsewhere. We are not so far from rail
ways as some sections, and therefore DO no
SO much feel the pressing need of one a
they do. If all along the line will do a
we'll in proportion to their interest, til
sum will be raised, and the Road built
But Lcwisburg alone can not build til
Road if she would. When the public re
member that within ten years this tow
has erected six houses of public worship
invested 5000 or $4,000 in Colleg
cndowments aud buildings, and expende
over $4,000 on Court House, IN add
ton to school houses, grading streets, mill:
aud all the labor and expense necessary
commence and carry out the work Of whic
these are only the results......they Wi
candidly say that, under the circumstance:
Lewisburg has one her share for the We:
tern Railway as well as for all other put
h' enterprises

BURGLAR CAUGHT. last Wednes-
day morning, miner, named Robert Bill
lis, discovered burglar in the act of en-
terlng the roof of cabin belonging to Mr..
Davis, at Vague Camp. The miner re-
mained on the alert until the robber made
his exit, when he gave chase. The par
ties kept up running contest for some
distance, when they came in sight of some
miners at work. The cry of stop thief
was then raised, and all hands joined in
the chase, who soon surrounded the rob-
Der and captured him. He proved to be
man named William Greene, sandy
haired, freckle-faced, stout-built, thick-set
and FIVE feet six inches high; previously
he had been teaming in this camp some
time, and was looked upon as an honest
man. When arrested, in his possession
were found double-barreled shotgun,
double -barreled pistol, shot-bag, powder
flask, bullet-moulds, bowie-knife, pocket
compass, and number of smaller articles,
such as general picker-up-of- -trifes .
would be likely to accumulate Constable
Tyler arrested the thief, under the charge
of burglary and petty larceny. Greene
plead guilty (before Justice Tibbits OF
Mok. Hill,) to the first charge. Before
the trial concluded, some Frenchmen, from
Pine Peak, came forward and swore that
the shotgun, shot-bag, bulletmoulds and
over-coat found on the person of the thief
belonged to them, the articles having been
stolen the evening previous. Greene was
committed to jail to await his trial This
Greene has been identified as a thief who
escaped from Mariposa Jail, where he was
confined on a charge of stealing revolvers,
&c. He is represented to be desperate
ond dangerous man.
