SALE OF THE PHILADELPHIA & sUSBURY
RAIL ROAD.


On Monday last the Sheriff Of this county
sold the Philadelphia and Sudbury Railroad,
extending from Sunbury to Mt. Carmel or
where it intersects the Mine Hill extension,
together with seven tracts of coal land, con-
tanning about 5000 acres, on which is erected
the Lancaster Coliery" and other improve
ments. and also all the locomotive engines
and cars. The Lancaster Collery tract was
bid up to $500. The other tracts to 500
each. The sale was made by the holders of
the second mortgage bonds, and was, of
course, subject TO the first mortgage, which
amounts TO $I00000 We understand that
the second mortgage bonds, 100000 in
amount, will be cancelled and converted into
stock. The property was knocked down to
L. S Wheelen of Philadelphia, who repre-
sents the parties interested in the first and
second mortgages. The bond holders Of the
third mortgage may, perhaps: realise some
time out of tract of land covered by the
latter mortgage. .a...
The road is in excellent condition and
must always prove ono of the most produc-
tive in the country. The coal lands and i'm
provements, are alone worth, perhaps. $780,.
900 or 100000. If the new Company would
dispose of these lands, the proceeds would
enable them TO make through connection
with the Mine Hill extension, and stock the
road, aud make it one of the most valuable
improvements in the country.

REvERsE OF FoRruEE.--Among the list of
those who we're obliged to yield to the pressure
and suspend payment there was the name OF
one gentleman published last week whose
case is peculiarly severe. Some years ago
when gold was first discovered in California
he went out there, and by his eXertions accu-
nulated upwards of 100000, which he in
vested in real estate and returned to this city
and engaged in active business here. A few
months ago, when there was financial panic
in San Francisco, he sent out an agent to
look after his interests, with orders TO convert
everything iato cash, at any sacrifice. The
result was that the agent closed everything
for $4,000, with which he started for home,
and took passage on board the Central Ame-
rica in which vessel he was lost with his
treasure, and the owner from Independence
has been reduced to poverty. This is, q bard
case, indesd.--BostOn GO=eGe.
