DEATH or CHARLES MILLER, EsQ.-We regret
10 lean that Charles Miller, Esq, formerly Of
this place, died at Lykcus, Dauphin county, Pa,
on Tuesday last. Mr. Miller was at one time a
prominent merchant of this place, aud was high
ly esteemed rs a ueghbor and citizen. He also
kept the Park House ID; Harrisburg during the
war, where he became widely known Throughout
the State, and bis housc was generally known rs
the soldiers home at Harrisburg. Mr. Miller
was about 63 years Of age, and leaves large
circle Of friends to mourn his loss.
4 NEW RAILRoAD.-Au effort, are inform
ed, VIII be made 10 build railroad from Hem-
don 10 this county, via Uniontown and Gratz, TO
Roush Gap in Schuylknl county. The road Is to
iutersect with the Northern Central, and viii
give an outlet to a large amount Of produce from
rich valley in our sister county OF DauPhin.
The coal beds at Roush's Gap are very produc-
tive, and a road to that place will bring to mar
ket not only a large quantity Of coal, but qua
lily which has heretofore been unknown Oh ac-
count Of the want Of facilities to carry il TO
kut. Should the parties engaged in the cutter
prise be successful, Herndon will become pro-
mineut town for the shipping Of coal.
The Concert ofthe Sunbury Coruct Band, held
ou Saturday evening last, WIS well attended.
The music was excellent, and gave general salts
faction to the audience. Il was one Of the best
musical concerts ever held in Suubury. Many
were astonished at the progress our band has
made under their Instructor and leader, Mr.. Carl
hirchucr. The concert was intersperacd with
comic songs by Ed Rem, who acquitted him
self wei as a Commedian. Ed. would do credit
10 himself on the stage. Altogether, it was
frs. class concert, and We venture TO say that if
repeated the Band woGld have a crowded house.
