400 MEN WANTED:
n Work on the NJ. & NJ. Railroad"
Such is the caption of handbill, to be
ssen on almost every street IN our
city. All ye who want work, bring along
the pick and the spade, report yourselves at
the Railroad Office, in James Block, and
YOU will End employment for your muscle in
opening up POstawattamle County 10 the

Ground was broken on the NJ. Il NJ. K. Il.
in this County, some ten days since, and
some twenty men are now at work in "the
dig,ipcs." The scene oflabors, at present,
ia about three miles east of this city. We
hope the Contractor may obtain his COM
nIemen, of laborers, and that they
will SNAKE the dirt fly" like mud. Work
NAV now be said to be fairly commenced,
with prospect of the Road beng speedily
opened up through the County. When the
fac, shall have become clearly demonstrated
-aswe hope and believe it will ere the dawn
of another Spring--that the Railroad
through this County, now commenced, Will
be bull. before the close Of the year 1860,
there will be no keeping pace with the
strides we will then make in the way OF
improvement and population. May propi-
tious Fates hasten the day, when this
"consummation so devoutly to be wished
shall dawn upon US.
Very Cool.
At this season of the year, We are not
wont to be surprised at any little coolness il
the weather or in individuals, but we mus
confess to having been surprised, day OF
two since, at the cool impudence Of a gen
tlcman 1--WE suppose he must be a gentleman
from the remark he made,) of this city. Il
WAS not so much what he said, as it was the
source from whence it came, that surprised
US. The gentleman is an old resident of
this city, but is not now, nor ever has been,
asubscrber to the Nonpareil, nor patronlsed
this establishment in any way whatever,
vet he had the cool eifrontery and impudence,
TO tell one Of the publishers, that the course
the Nonporeil had pursued in certain
matter, dld not suit him, and that we would
lose money by the operation! Isn't that
Arctic GOODNESS? How very soicitous,
indeed, some people are for the welfare of
the NonPareil! How wondrous kind =
The gentleman referred to, must be one of
the celebrated "Doesticks" companions,
none other than the veri;able ''Damphool''
himself. Great is the bond Of interest--a
man who has never, to our knowledge,
directly or indirectly, given US the benefit
Of picayne from his purse, terribly ex-
ercised lest We should lose money, is proof
positive of the strength of this bond, and
shows the innate meanness of some men.
Docs he Sleep, OF has he gone a Journey:
Or what can occupy the attention Of that
atmosphericnl accountant who was wont to
give us, of the Hawkeye State, such long,
beautiful autumns, and such liberal supplies
ofwarm, dreamy Indian summer? Verify, he
cannot be at his post, or else his mood Is
sadly changed. Only to think of the clouds
that he has given US in place of sunshine,
the rain instead of smoky haze, and the
snow and sleet in lieu of pleasant breezes.
Jealous Of old Sol, said accountant has not
allowed US fair glimpse at his face for
two weeks; and for a week past has been
trying hard to makes US believe that winter
is already here. But we will hardly credit
ityet, even though we DO don gloves and
over. coats, and imagine fires indispensable.
Oh, no, winter is not here yet-the thought
is too chilling, we will not harbor it.

y The sidewalk on the north side of
Broadway, in from, of the buildings owned
by Messrs. OFFICER & Pussy, needs some
little attention from the "City Dads."-
There is scarcely a night in the week, but
what some unlucky pedestrian finds himself
