There are many planters who have
commenced their operations for the
year with inadequate supplies, in the
hope that some kind wind would blow
upon the sails they have spread, and
cary them safely into port. The
wise man has Said that "time and
chance happeneth to ALL" They
should improve the opportunity which
this measure affords; and the mer-
chant should relax, if in his power, the
rigor he has hitherto practised to-
wards the planter. If the producing
classes are not aided in thowing of
the Old Man of the Sea, all must 60

RAM-RoADs.-We learn that the
Lehigh Valley R. r. Co. have purchased
the Pittston branch of the L. d B. r. r.
the understood price is 1000. Aweek or
two since we mentioned that the Lehigh &
Susquelanna R. Il. Co. were actively en-
gagged on the rock bluffs, south of town.
They have lost the Pittston branch, this
work is now suspended and the force of Ia
borers transferred few feet lower on the
bluff to cut a new towing path for the canal.
1t is understood that the Lehigh Valley
road after crossing the canal near Mill
Creek, Will keep between the canal and river
to short distance north of the Tompkins
Shaft, where it will cross to the east or
bernie side, following the line of the L. d;
b. branch, through town to the present de-
pot at North Pittston, where it will cross
the L. d b. Il. r., and continue up the river
Susquehanna.
By this transfer of the Pittston branch to
their rival, the Lehigh d Susquehanna Co.
are literally Jlg5ed out of town-at least the
bluffs prevent their getting in, except by an
ascending grade from Port Griffith through
the depression where the r. Il. of the Penn Ia
Coal Co. is now built.-Pdtst0n Gazette.

FIRE.-About one o'clock on Mon
day last, the Turning Shop on Shepard's
Creek, near this village, belonging to S. I.
Decker, took fire which, together with its
contents, were consumed before any mate
rial assistance could be had to stay the
flames. There was much valuable lumber
and unfinished work il the shop, none of
which was saved All the machinery and
tools, and some fine cabinet makers tools
were also destroyed. Neptune Fire Co., of
this village hastened to the spot with their
engine, but were too late to be of much SER
vice.
The loss under the circumstances, is quite
severe on Mr.. Decker, it being from 81, 500
