utcs after, the parties met, when Morrsey

A new and important business is spring
ing up for the Wllliamsport & Elmira and
Catawis>a railroads. The dlrectness of
the route from Emira 10 New York city,
by way Of the railroads named, in conUec-
ton with the Quakake brauch of the lat
ter, has so far and favorably attracted the
attention Of business men at Buiilio as TO
induce them to send freight over it from
that city to New York. Considerable
freight has also been shipped from New
York to E'mira by the same route.
Coal IN SULLIVAN CoUNrY.-We
lcaru from a reliable source, that in addi-
ton to the veins Of coal formerly discov-
cred IN Sullivan county, and which have
been worked to limited extent, vein has
recently been discovered about three miles
from Liporte, which is about twelve feet
thick. 1t is said to be of superior quail
ity, and lays SO near the surface that it can
be mined at but trifing expense, compa.
red with the mining operations of some
other coal fields in this State.--Huacy
Luminoyy.
As slight indication Of the revival of
tue .iron business" it is said that the
Cameron Furnace at Middleton, is to be
put in blast shortly, and the works of
Messrs. Wood and Sterling, at the same
place, viii commence operations carly in
March. The extensive Iron Works of
Reeves, Abbott Il Co., at Safe Harbor,
have again commenced operations, and
that village has assumed its vonted lively
appearance.
