Colonel A. g. Brodhead, or General w.

have been informed that DR..
j. B. MASSER is q candidate for the Office
Of REGISTER AND RECORDER. j am
sure that all who are acquainted with him,
will be glad to have an opportunity to help
bin along. Doctor Masser is not Demo-
crat Of yesterday, nor is he democrat for
the sake of office. He is sober and indus
trious man, well acquainted with the people,
speaks German and English aud has all the
qualifications necessary to make him popu-
lar officer
In our opinion he is the most suitable man
that has been named for the Office, aud no one
can doubt that be is the most deserving-as
he never asked for an Office, although be has
always been popular among all classes and
with the people generally. 1t is an impor-
tant Office aud one that should be filled by an
individual in whom ali would have confidence

OPENING OF THE NORTHERN CENTRAL

RAILROAD TO sUNBURY.
The opening of the Northern Central Rail.

risburg, and intermediate places, TO Sunbury,
took place on Monday last. The cars South,
for Harrisburg, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
left Suubury at Q A. NJ, after the arrival of
The train from Williamsport, by the Sunbury
Il Erie. Among the passengers down we
observed His EScellency Wm. F. Packer,
our worthy Governor, on his way from VIII.
Transport to the capitol, who during the short
stay while changing the cars, received the
congratulations of o number OF bis friends in
this place, which during his youth, for several
years. was his adopted home. He naturally
felt q glow Of pride and satisfaction, in
the final completion aud triumph Of an enter.
prise for which be had labored many years,
especially while in this borough, which, at
his election, showed the gratitude Of its ci.
tizons by giving him the largest vote ever
polled in the place for any candidate. In
the afternoon, about o'clock, a number Of
our citizens were vending their way TO the
station in Market street, to witness the arri-
val of the up train, which had left Baltimore
at A. NJ, arriving at Harrisburg at about
IL NJ, where passengers from Philadelphia,
by way OF the Lebanon Valley and the Har-
risburg & Lancaster Railroads connect with
the Northern Central. The cars reached
Sunbury in good style at 81 P. NJ, the
schedule time. At this place they stepped
from the cars of the Northern Central to
those Of the Sunbury & Erie, for Williams
port, at which place they arrived at 81 p. NJ.
Quite n crowd was collected at the station to
witness the appearance Of the first regular
trou of cars and passengers direct from
Baltimore and Philadelphia, by railroad. 1t
was something, indeed, worth witnessing-an
event OF the greatest Importance TO the whole
community, and one to which We had been
locking forward for many years-protracte
by various discouraging circumstances, but
which, after an indomitable degree of perse-
verance, enterprise and liberalty on the part
of our Baltimore friends, particularly, has at
last been accomplished. AS We observed the
cars approaching we involuntary remarked
1--WE are in town al last"
Among the passengers were Mr.. Barnum,
President, ard Mr.. Magraw, one Of the d-
rectors, from Baltimore, both early, steadfast,
and rerseyering friends of this great work.
Also, A. b, Wnrford, Esq, Chief Engineer,
and bis able assistant, Maj. Dickinson, and
Philip Dougheriy, Esq, of Harrisburg, one
of the directors aud others connected with
the road. The Northern Central, which is
now completed, is a consolidation Of the
York < Baltimore, York d, Cumberland and
the Susquehanna Railroads, extending from
Baltimore to Sunbury, distance of l36
miles. The road, especially the new portion,
from Sunbury to Bridgeport, opposite Har-
risbrrg, is one Of the best constructed roads
in Pennsylvania. 1t is work which reflects
not only great credit on the monumental
city, but will prove one Of her most profitable
enterprises.
