II. A. FoNDA, Esq, the excellent Su-
pcrintcndant of the Cattawis,a, Williams,
port, and Erie Rail Road, has resigned
his position, to take effect on the first of
August. Mr.. Fonda, as man and au
. officer, seems to enjoy universal respect
along the line of the road, and general re-
gret is expressed at his proposed with,
, drawal from its management. And we
very much doubt, if the z. W. < +. Il. Il.
Co., or sny other Company, ever had or
ever will have, another Superintendent

Everett has been delivering his lecture on
Franklin" in Rutland, VT, and the
Herald of that village thus speaks of the
man and his discourse :-"llis cnuncia
tion is very clear and torciblc, his diction
upre, his modulation and accent stately
without labor or parade. His pronuncia-
ton was punctiliously conformed to the
, system of Worcester, and not a single sen.
tence spoken that was not conformcd to
the system of Worcester, and not a single
sentence spoken that was not moulded into
the most GRACEFUL period not Il missha-
pen accent, not u dep arturo from single
law of syntax - Boston IoT.
s@- A few days ago, says the B rw1ch
Gasette, both the candidates for Cover
nor of this State were in Philadelphia,
stopping at the Girard House, and both
we're sitting side by side upon the same So
ia, indulging in mo st friendly conversation.
They were not seen exactly to kiss, but we
have not the least doubt they took drink
out the same bottle Both gentlemen re-
ceived numerous visitors during their stay
; and no one unacquainted with their re
spective position; would suppose them to
be opposing candidates for the same office
1t is high compliment to both gentlemen
when we say that throughout the canvass
neither will utter or assent to q disre-
spectful word concerning the other, This
is as it should be, and shows that the po-
= litical millennium is approaching
The GREATEST LEARNING Is TO BE
, SEEN IN THE GREATEST PLAINNEss," as,
for example, Benjamin Franklin, the great
philosopher, statesman and economist, he
was proficient in every undertaking, and
svery station he filled was performed with
honor to himself, his family and his coun-
try, He also bcqueathcd to postcrity
many useful precepts whereby he lived and
acted, such as " Iake care Of Me pence
ne poands a0,H tlke care Of themseiVes -
a penny day IS @ groat q gear y ga
ittle and otten fills he purse -" If yo~th
tneiO sOjsat ose a0owId craVe, IL wOuid Jo'h
get and saus," "thcre Is no companion
axe che dollar !" " u dOLlar SdUcd IS equal
TO hoo earned -" he thai gets doth much,
but lie Mat Keeps doth more,' and they
who deposit their money at per cent. in
terest in the Franklin Saving Fund, No.
1876 South Fouth street, below Chestnut,
PHILADELPHIA, are sure to prosper.
