Our Hail Road Prospects.
Since the paesuge of tie great Rail Rond
Bill by both brunches of the State Legittla.
ture, we have refrained from milking any
extended comments ; prelpring, rather, to
nwnit the action of the Governor. So far
ns we are informed the bill has not jet been
signed, but is still in the hinds of tho Ex
ecutive. But we cannot believe the Gov
ernor will attempt to thwart the wishes of
the people of the Commonwealth bv an un
warranted use of the veto power ; es
pecially as that will has been so decidedly
eipreesed by both branches of the Legisla
ture. Therefore we will take it for grunted
that the bill will become a law, aud speak
of it as a fixed fact.
Let us see what the nature of the bill is.
It simply provides the exchange of $9,.r)00,
000 now in the sinking fund of the Com
monwealth for a like amount of bonds draw
ing the same interest, executed by the
Roads proposed to be built, secured by
mortgage upoD said Roads, and the interest
guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Centr.il or
iomo other responsible Rail Road Company
until the said roads shall be entirely com
pleted and opcued for traffic. The ex
chage of bonds is to be as follows, to wit:
With the Jersey shore, Pino Creek aud
Buffalo railway 80,000,000; with the
Pittsburg, Virgiuiu and Charleston railway,
kod ihe branch to Waynesburg in (Ireene
county 81,600,000 ; with the Clearfield and
Buffalo Railroad Company 81,400,000; and
with the Eric and Allegheny Railway Com
pany 8500,000. These various amounts
constitute the 0,500,000 which h composed
of 80,000,000 ol Pennsylvania Central Rail
Road 5pr. ct. Bonds, and S'i 500,000 of Al
legheny Valley Rail Ro id 5 pr. ct Bonds.
Fo it is simply an exchange of bonds of
railroads already in operation for bonds of
railroads to be constructed with absolute
guarantees for the completion of said roads
within three years and for the paymeut of
the interest, on said bonds until the said
roads shall bo fully completed and opeued
lor traffic. The transaction cau be no det
riment to the Commonwealth, but is on ac
commodation like endorsing a good man's
note to beneSt him at no cost to yourself.
Not only will it be no loss to tho State,
but the operation will developo thoso por
tions of tho Slate traversed by the several
railways, aud iu the language of the act
itself "adding greatly to the taxablo values
for the State, county and municipal purpo
ses ; as well as to g a ly iucrcarso the value
of productions from those sect ioLS of the
Commonwealth for manufacturing, agri
cultural, aud all other purposes." There
fore, as a matter of public poPcy it is clear
ly a wise and just law, and to thoso locali
ties fortunate enough to be directly inter
I'stc J it is doubly so. In this connexion it
may not be out of place to sjy that tho cit
izens of the entire district will rejoice to
know that our able Senator and Represen
tative Messrs. Wallace and Hall were both
lound upon the ritrht side. They not onlj
voted for the bill, but were both active and
prominent iu getting it through. Although
politically opposed to tbein, we can cheer
fully, as will their constituents generally,
regardless of party, award them great credit
far this act.
Now a word as to our own interest.
The Buffalo and Clearfield Railway have
one million lour hundred thousand
dollars. Whit is the Buffalo aud CluarSeld
Railway ? We quote trom the act s "The
Clearfield and Buffalo railway between
such point on the line of tho Allegheny
Valley railroad extension in Clearfield
county, or other po;n in said county, and
at a point of couuectton with tho Buffalo
and Washington railway in the counties of
McKeaa by suoh rooute as may after care
ful survey be finally adopted by the Clear
field and Buffalo Ilailwuy Company," It
is a moral ccrtauty that iu going from Clear
field county to McKean county, the road
must pass through some portion of Elk
county. Therefore we say God speed the
work. It must benefit the county by devel.
oping her untold natural wealth, whatever
route it may take. As citizens of Ridgway,
we of courso prefer that our route, "down
Toby, up the Clarion past Ridgway, over to,
and down Potatoe Creek," may be adopted
aud we think ic will be as it is elearly the
best route, as appears from actual survey,
and nearly every inch of ground has been
surveyed between Clearfield and Smeth
port. Unless we can show our route to be
the best, we may not expect the road here.
But if we cannot have it "past Ridgway,"
let it go past St. Mary's, or any other place
fortunate enough to be located on the line
of the best route. -
Knowing the liberality of our friend
Blakely of the St. Mary's Gazette, we are
. surprised to see in his last issue such a
'dog in the manger' policy exhibited. From
its tone one would be led to think that the
frugal inhabitants ot that settlement don't
want the road to go any where, unless it
can go right square through their cabbage
patch. That Isn't generous, Laurie. If
-rgT-'rtl.v:'liU
the road should happen to mint vou And
hit a, ynu will only have to use the old P,
& K. distance of ten miles for the trans
potation of your vast productions, and that
with a grade in favor of tho trade. We
cud see no grounds for your fears that the
Breweries of St. Mary's will ;dry up."
Your people will surely ooutinue to thrive,
as long as they can ' cat what they can not
sell."
Murdor in Troy, N. Y.
Between the hours of niue and ton on
Weduesday night, Nunning Vandeihcyden,
a well known and respected farmer resid
ing on the outskirts of Troy, was murdered
in his own barn by a gang of reckless bur
glars. On Monday n.ght Mr. Vanderhey
den had taken some 85,000 in railroad
bonds from a small Lillio safe which h e
kept in his house, and went with thorn in
to the city, there to exchange them for
Oihcrs. lie at first requested tho brokers
with whom he made the exchange to keep
them for hira, and on their refusal to tnke the
responsibility, deposited them in the Troy
City Bank. At the same time he drew
810,000 out of one of the banks, and re
turning home with it, placed this money in
his safe.
The safe was in the lror.t room on the
ground floor. The burglars had evidently
beard of the valuables it would contain on
this particular day, and may also have sup
posed the bouds to have been pla?ed in it
instead of being deposited in a city bank.
SVith tho hope of making a good haul, tLey
set their plans and prepared to murder the
unfortunate farmer without parley, aud
whethca it proved necessary or not.
It was nearly ten o'clock when Mr. Van
derheyden and his sori-iii-law, Edward J.
Alexander, left the house for the barn to
look after and care for the horses.
Iu the barn three men were concealed,
who, no doubt, were awaiting the retire
merit of the folks in the honso, when they
would enter and take off the safe. T.he
approach of Mr. Vanderheydou led them
to the belief that they had been discovered,
and forced them to murder to escape. As
Mr, Vanderheyden was stepping across the
threshold of the bam, he was knocked in
the head by an iron pump handle in the
hands of one of the men.
Three times the weapon fell upon his
head with deadly force, fracturing the
skull. In a moment after Alexander came
up, and was about to enter when he saw a
hand uplifted to strike him. It fell upon
lih arm, and Alexander retreating, the as.
sassin followed, throwing a largo stone after
him.
Alexander went to the house, armed him
self with a shot gun and revolver, and re
turned to the bam, but the assassin had fled
leaving Vauderheyden with life almost ex-
unci, ue uiea a lew minutes alter oeing
taken to his honse. The deceased was well
known and greatly beloved. Daly Topic.
New York, March, 24
It is said thatou the uight before the
sailing of tho steamer City of Boston a
party here of the engencers, including the
chief enpeneer vUited some friends in Pat
terson, N J. They said the City of Bos
ton was on her last trip. In coming this
way she broke one ot her propeller fans,
and an old two-bladed propcllor wheel had
been put iu to carry them back to the other
side, where the injury would bo perfectly
repaired by the substitution of a new three
bladed fau iu place of the one broken. In
consequence of tho deficit of tho one to the
wheel, the ei.geneer remarked to bis friends
that they expected hard duty in tho fire
brigade this trip, tho machinery would
have to run one-third faster; and there
would also be Eome danger of fire and ex
plosion in consequence. It is said the as
scrtion was positively made, ami the friends
of the engineers now think their appre
hensions proven prophetic, aud that the
steamer has been destroyed by fire or ex
plosion, or that the supply of coal proved
insufficient, and the ill fated steamer has
fallen an easy victim to the storm.

A Fiend Conesses to having Committc!
Fifteen Murders.
By Telegraph to Morning Patriot.
Wheeling, March 24. Thomas D.
Carr, tho murderer of Louisa C. Fox. was
executed to-day at St. Clairsville, Ohio.
The town was alive with foreigners to wit
ness the execution. At one o'clock and
tweuty minutes the prisoner was taken up
on the stand, and made a few brief remarks
in which he blamed his father and whisky
for this sad end of his life. He offered a
short prayer, in which he briefly sketched
the many errors of his life. In twenty
minutes after the trap fell and the man was
hurled iuto eternity. His neck was not
broken and he was strangled. A writen
confession was made, iu which he says that
he was the perpetrator ot fourteen cold
blooded murders before the killing of Miss
Fox. The confession is full, the rehearsal
of his life embracing an entire history of
the Uirich murder which was perpetrated
near tuts ciry in iou.
A Yankee one day asked his lawyer how
an heiress might be carried off.
"You cannot do it with safety," said the
counseller, "but I'll tell you what you may
do, let her mount a horse and hold a bridle
and whip ; do you then mount behind her,
and you are sate, tor she runs away with
you."
The next day the lawyer found that it
was. bis own daughter who had run away
with bis client.

The people of Plcasantville had a little
excitement a few days ago, eays the War
ren Mail, over what they call "the great
drawing match" in which two horses weigh,
iog 2,450 pounds drew 12, 032 pounds up
a bill, or four cords of green oak wood
We have some pretty stout teams in our
lumbr woods, but can they eqal this feat ?
The Pleasantvillo Gang Liyht says :
Th wood, white oak, was cut with the
saw and honestly measured yesterday. Tho
rack was four feet high, thirty -one inches
wide and thirty-two feet long, all of body
wood, and of ocurse perfectly green. A
new harness fittings and wood rack, all of
great strength, had been provided. When
loaded for the start, the wood loomed up
like a load of hay. When the word was
given to start, the horses settle! down slow,
ly and evenly to the work. The tugs
Charley Breul's best gave way like gutta.
perch under the mighty strain, but held
and the load moved. The hill was sur
mouied at 6 p. m. the wager was fairly won,
the horses apparently none the worse for
jho work they had accomplished.
The wood was brought to town last even
ing and weighed .by George Zuver; it
weighed 12,925 pounds, the sleigh and
wood rack 1,000 pouuds, the whole a few
pounds shors of six and a half tons. The
"bite" of the hill was pronounced by many
good juges on tho ground to be at least 'one
quarter pitch,' and the horses, when sur
mounting it, burst their new leathern bel
lybands liko tow strings- The double-tree
was of seasoned hickory and ' of great
strength, but before the summit of the hill
was reached it gave way, and was replaced
with one of still greater strength. The team
belongs to Mr. Joseph Geary, two miles
from this place.
A careless husband in Syracuse, last
week, returned sooner than he had prom
ised which was one very indiscreet thing
for him to do. Another very impolite pro.
ceeding was getting iuto his houso and
going to his wife's bed-room before daylight
in the morning "just for a surprise." The
surprise was mutual, tor she declined to
open the door until sho could dress, as the
weather was cold, and he heard whispers
insde which caused him to put his foot
against the door and force an entrance just
iu time to see a half dressed man jump
from the second story window. He cooly
turned to his wife and told her "she better
go home to her parents, as ho had conclu
ded to break up housekeeping." She went,
fbe next day there was an auotion of house
hold furnitureaud a suit for divorce. That's
what comes of husbands coming horns at
such unreasonable hours Its very impolite,
and bssides, it is liable to put somebody to
a deal of truble. Erie Rnmblican.
A. Curious Case. The citizens of Ber
gen, New Jersey, have for some time been
juite agitated over a most singular case of
a woman who has for a long time remained
n a trance or state of catalepsy. The par.
ticulars are substantially as follows, as we
learn them from the physician in attendrnce:
it seems that a Miss Eliza Randall, being
uearly thirty five years old, about two years
ago complained of indisposition. Dr. J. W.
Craig, ot Churchville, was called, aud treat,
ed the lddv for nervous debility for four or
hve months, at which period she fell into a
sleep that lasted nearly three weeks, not
rousing in the meantime. Subsepuentlv
she revived for five orsixdays; when about
a year ago she again fell into a sort of cata
leptic sleep and has remained so until about
two weeks since, jrlthonnh at remote per
iods she seemed conscious enough to swal
low slight nourishment when given. About
two weeks ago sho routed up considerably,
but only complained ot a severe headache,
althrough her lengthened lying in cue po
sition on the bed had caused severe hip
sorsc, which to ordinary people would be
very painful, she bad again relapsed into
the same unconscious state, which to baffle
all professional skill ; but what the upshot
of the case will be, whether she will ulti
mately recover, or finally sink under this
prolonged suspension, is a point of cooiec-
amongthe faculty.
The Female Burqlars. On Monday
afternoon before Justice Griffith, Isabella
Hall, Mary Ann Hall and Marry Connell
were examined on charges of burglary and
larceny, alleged to have been committed in
various parts of the city within a recent
date. They were arrested by policeman
Murray on Thursday, who found in their
possession in the rooms they occupied iu
the upper part of a house on Buffalo street.
near Holland, articles of amost every con
ceivablo description of apparel and house
hold utensils. Sufficient testimony was
elicited before the Justice, who bound each
of the defendants over in the sum of 8500
in default of which they were committed to
jail for trial at the May term of Court.
Erie Gazette.
uraoe ureinwood, in a letter to the
Tribune, dated March 16th, speaks as fol
lows of Senator Revels' maiden speech ;
I hove just returned from the Senate,
aud from listening to the maiden speech of
the Hon. Hiram Revels. I think it was
rather a disappointing affair to the Demo
crats, and to the Secessionists, who "still
live," and out to-day, in considerable
force. TJiey kad hoped the effort would
be in a mora ambitious strain, would have
something bizarre and bombastic about it,
would be seasoned with Methodist cant;
that it would, at least, have some piquant
sins against those eminent syntactic and
ortheepic authorities, Lindley Murray and
Noah Webster, LL. D. But on such amia.
ble gratification was' accorded them. Tho
speech was not remarkable for brilliant elo.
quence or powerful arguraont ; but it was
earnest, reasonable, in excellout taste, emi
nently respectable in every way, read in a
calm, self-possessed manner, except, per
haps, in the very commencement, and with
good emphasis and pronunciation. The
drab chade of the venerablo Quaker gram
marian above referred to, that I sometimes
fancy hovering in a perturbed manner about
that Senate Chamber, would; on this oc
casion, have worn, to epiritseer, a benign
and placid countenance.

"The Prison of the Bastilo," by Mrs. Ann

Ock Soldiers' Orphans Saved On
Tuesday the Senate of Pennsylvania did a

the final defeat of the coolie system, and
that no more attempts will be made to inter
