NORTHERN CENTRAL RAILROAD

Mr. Barnum the President, and several of
the directors OF this road were in town on
Monday and Tuesday last, with q view Of
making some examinations in regard to the
connections Of this road with the Sunbury &
Erie aud the Shamokn Railroad. They also
made some examinations in relation to the
location Of passenger and freight depot and
a machine shop.
In regard to the machine shop and depot,
our citizens naturally manifest good deal Of
interest Where the location will be is not
yet decided. They looked at q number of
lots, and were perfectly satisfied that either
or all Of them were well adapted for the
purpose There will be no difficulty in find
ing good location but in making selection
from among the number offered. The Sun
bury & Erie is to connect with the Northern
Central in Market street, and it was hoped
that the connection would be ready on the
completion of the latter road. We under
stand the work Of making this connection
will be commenced shortly and vigorously
prosecuted to completion. The grading OF
the Northern Central may be said to be
completed, or will be in the course of week.
and the work of laying the rails has been
commenced.

suNBURy,S sRIERAILRoAp

The Sunbury and Erie Railroad bill has
passed the House of Representatives by
handsome majority, and been sent to the
Senate for concurrence. This measure is one
o! no ordinary interest TO the people of the
State, and should be acted upon by the Sen
ate speedily. Whatever the sentiment that
may have prevailed heretofore on this sub
ject among tho masses, whether favorable or
adverse, we hazard nothing in saying that,
at present. there is strong feeling in its ia.
vor All appear to acquiesce in the general
doctrine, that the sale Of the balance of the
public works owned by the Commonwealth
TO the Sunbury and Erie Railroad company,
under the bin now before the Legislature,
will ba both wise aud proper, and ultimately
result benefcially to the interests of the
State.
BY the passage Of the present bill, the
Sunbury and Erie Railroad company will be
enabled to complete their great enterprise OF
uniting the lakes with the Atlantic seaboarj
by direct and cheap route, and thus aid the
vast tide Of western commerce. to seek and
fud q speedy market in the eastern cities, by
which both the east and the west will be
alike benefited.
But this is not all. The completion Of the
Suaoury and Erie Railroad will open up a
region of magnificent country now 10 n State
of primeval nature developing the hidden
treasures Of its mines, pud converting its
ma jestc forests 10 the uses of man, in all the
ramlhed relations Of life. whilst the Common.
wea.ihs Golfers will be filed with perpetual
food Of taxation from the greatly enhanced
value of its millions of broad acres The
"penuy wise and pound foolish policy" Of too
many of our legislators has retarded the con-
summation OF the project contemplated in
the bill now before the Senate, which We
hope will prevail no longer.
The experience Of years has convinced the
people that the State is AN annual loser by
retaining her public works; and there is a
strong desire everywhere in the Common.
wealth to rid her Of the burden Of keeping
them up any longer. Already she has parted
with the main artery md nearly everybody
rejeices at the fact. The sooner she parts
with the balance the better for the tax. pay.
ers-becausc SO long rs the State owns uny
portion OF The public works, they will be a
drain on the public trea5ury. There is now
about five hundred thousand dollars appro
pr.a;ed, in the appropriation bill for the pre-,
sent year. for the public works all Of which
will be expended, and much more than that
sum, if al opportunity is offered to make al
extraordinary draw upon the Treasury. BY
the sale to the Sudbury and Erie company
this vast sum will be saved TO the people
and ri the Same time great public interest
will oe Forwarded aud completed by wise
and mnnlhceCt policy on the part of the
guardians OF the people. We hope, therefore
10 see the House bill become a law at thu
present session Of the Legislature, aud ia,
connexlon ot the Commonwealth with public
Improvements severed forever. -HarrisJurt
