many years ago decaycd timbers in an erect po
sition, were discovered in one OF them, whlct
would indicate that they were more than the re
/ suit of accident. Lead was mined a few mile:
below some years ago, but not in paying quanti
ties. 1t may be, these holes, at a remote period
were lead mines. 1t was rumored some years ago
that gold had been found upon Rhinehar'5 Hill
and some of our old people, greatly deficient il
geological education, believed it, and discovered
the report TO be incorrect, by making diagnosis
at considerable expense Of money and labor, il
the shape of drifts, propring, &c. The hill
Yields an abundance of the best quality of lime
stone for fertilizing purposes.
Mr.. Kirchner's residence is being erected on 4
fat piece of ground on the brow Of the " est side
of the hill. From this spot the most magnificent
scenery Is presented, embracing the river, Mon
tours Ridge, Sunbury and Northumberland
westward, the falls Of the Shamokin dam are in
view, and the beautiful farming country, dotted
with neat dwellings and spacious barns, reaching
far back into Snyder county. II is 4 beautiful
sight TO gaze upon. On the north side Of the re-
sideuce but a few rods distant, exists glen
through which the water Of fine spring takes
its course beneath a dense covering Of foliage,
until intercepted by pTecipice over which it falls
with pleasing reverberatien, producing an ad-
dilional enchautmeut TO the beautiful scene.
We understand that il is the intention Of Mr.
Kirchner to establish vineyard, for which pur-
pose he coald not have selected a better location.
For place OF resort, during the summer season,
Mt. Kirchner will excel, in beauty Of natural
scenery, a refreshing Susquehanna breeze, and cX
celicnt water, any other place Of resort in this
neghbc- hood. Those who have never visited the
location will be amply repaid by doing 90.
We copy the following items from the Wat
soniown Record Of last week:

life he WAS employed on the West Branch canal,
al. t,11 ssg g
Supervisor, his section being between Muncy
Dam and Northumberland. Very faithfully did
he discharge his duties, and some time will
elapse before the canal company will be able 20
get 4 man who will fiji the position ms well as
did the deceased. Mr.. Kline was a man of many
friends-a good citizen and neighbor-and his
death cast gloom Of sorrow over the entire
community. He was a consistent member of
the Lutheran church and died in the full hope of
receiving his eternal reward in the world TO

Wednesday and were followed to the grave by a
large collection of sorrowing friends aud syrnpa-
thizng neighbors. Peace tc his ashes.
THE way men put Oft important matters to the
last moment is one Of the curious things in ma
ture. The fifth concert in aid of the Public Ii
brary Of Kentucky was advertised to take place
July 3lst. The day after, August 1st, GOV.
Bramlette, the manager al Louisville received
over $50, 600 for tickets. Had the drawing taken
place at that time the Governor would have had
to send thi, money back, but rs The Concert was
postponed to November 3Oth, it was all right
with them. We presume that on the first day
Of December next, :he day after the Concert.
thousands Of dollars will be received, one day
too late, for there will be no further postpone
ment. This money might just as well have
been sent a week before, as when it was.

Concerto Stop is, without doubt, the best eve
placed in any organ. II is produced by an cztri
set Of reeds, peculiarly voiced, from which th

human voice is superb. For sweetness Of ton
