We observe in one of our exchanges a
statement that "Mr. Eisely, editor of the
Concordia, La. Intelligencer, had lost hit
wife and four children" bj that terrible
scourge of the south yellow fever, ' Mr.
Eisely was connected with us in the publi
cation of this paper from its commence

half years. ' He removed south with his
family the year following. This will be
sad intelligence for the friends of his family
in this neighborhood. .
E7 Interesting to Coal Dealers.
The exhibition committee of the Maryland
Institute have given notice that they will,
at the approaching Fair, appoint a compe

test the various coals on exhibition, and de.

interested in coal mines are therefore re
quested to furnish specimens for the pur
pose, in addition to those for exhibition.

richest mineral regions of Pennsylvania.
ID" The Jlilfoniun is in error in regard
to the locomotive and cars being smashed
on the Philadelphia and Sunbury .Railroad-
The locomotive did not leave the track,
and sustained no injury whatever, and the
, body of the passenger car, with the excep
! tion of some damage to the roof, is as firm
' and substantial as ever. The car was
j brought to town, on trucks, lor repair.
j Such an accident cannot well occur again,
i
i as the Company have placed a powerful
reflector on the Engine, that will enable
the engineer to see any obstruction within
stopping distance. The locomotive threw
off the track two of the cows over the
abutment, and would have cleared the
track of the third, had the space between
track and the side of the bridge been wi
der. -The management of the road is in
good hands. The Superiiitentant, Mr.
Fiske, of Providence, R. I., who was kept
at home by illness, has returned. He is a
gentleman of experience and business ca
pacity, and unaer his management the
operations of the road will be most carelul
ly and efficiently conducted.
THRILLING BCRNR AT THE FALL Of
NIAOAftA.
RkMAHKARLS EfCArB fR0M DKATII.-Vlr.
E. V. Wilson, of this oily, of lightning tod
notoriety, went to the Fall with a part, and
among the number was Mrs. N. L, Piper.
The lady, at the lime, was laboring ilijjhlly
tinder a species of insanity, It was thought
by hor husband that travelling and aehanire
of air and scenery would lo her grind, but

and juat as aim was Ruing over, he caught
hold of her dress, ami by it held hrr dangling
in the air. The die gave w ay, and sh fell
on the ledge uf a lock at a distance of twenty
feet. As she tint lay, Wilson, our natra
live says, "whit great presence of mind,
looked for a aufl place," and, discovering
that a quantity of loose ratlh wa lying

Russia and China. The sudden appear
ance of a Kiibsian squadron in the China seas,
has civen rise to much speculation. It was
conjectured by some that tho vessels were
sent as a sort of flotilla of observation, com
missioned to watch and report upon the con
nection of foreign powers wilh the revolu
tionists; others, that tho Emperor of the
Notth was nbuut to assist his Eastern brother
in quieting his now troublesome subjects ;
but the weight of popular opinion inclined
to the belief that the Miips would set oil for
Japan, and pet haps anticip te the Aineiieutig

Land Warrants for sale, can dispose ot
them for cash, by applying at this office.
The Borough Councils at a meeting
on Monday evening last, mad.' a subscrip
tion of ono thousand dollars to the con
struction of the embankment above town,
at the Grant farm. The work will cost
4000 when completed, and will, with the
other embankments, render every portion
of the town secure from all future freshets.
ZJ" The steamboat now building at this
place is nearly ready for her machinery.
Tne boiler has arrived, but the engine is
not yet finished, and will not be ready for
several weeks. After her machinery is
put on board, it will require some four
weeks to rig the boat, and put her into
complete running order. It will therefore
be about the middle of November before
we can expect to see the placid bosom of
the Susquehanna disturbed by the prow of
steamer.
$y Larue Peach. The editor of the
Lycoming Gazette received a peach mea

wei"Iiinz nine ounces and a half, and asks
who can beat it. Sunbury, we think, can
bert it without much trouble.
I .MUX f'Ol'XTV.
Politics in Union county is strangely
mixed up with local matters, and is now
in such a medley, that it is hard to U II
which patty will be uppermost. The first
issue was in relation to the county subscrip
tion. There was a regular fight between
Ihe subscription and anti-subscription par
ties. That brought about, as these things
generally do, other issu'. Interested in
dividuals started the proj.-ct of dividing the
county, and now they have dropped nearly
every other issue, and are battling for and
aguinst a diusion of the county, and there
is now a fair prospect of Union county be
ing divided. 13oth Whigs and Demo
crats opposed to dividing the county, have
resolved to oppose every man who is in
favor of division, or who is even suspected
of such a design.
BC7-H. C. Hickoc k, Esq., of Lewisburg,
lias been appointed Notary Public for
Union county. We congratulate our edi
torial friend, and hope he may continue in
the line of promotion.
KF The first meeling of the New York,
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company,
was held on Wednesday, the 14th instant,
at New York. The Commissioners present
proceeded to business and opened the books
of subscription. The capital of the Com
pany is one hundred millions. The amount
subscribed was 12,800,000, of which ten
millions were taken by Robert J. Walker.
The Company then adjourned for a fort
night.

YELLOW FEVER AT PHILADELPHIA.
The Koaid of Health this week report two
fatal cases of Yellow Fever in our city.
That it s'.ill exists in the ueighboi hood of
South and Swnnson streets, 10 which locality
it was brought by Ihe ba k Mandarin, there
can be no doubt, but it is of mild type, and
in moM instances jields to medical treat
ment. From personal observation we know
that many houses in the vicinity are desert
ed ; that factories have been closed; that
the disease has manifested itself almost ex
clusively in baJly ventilated localities, and
that the public authorities have performed
everything in their power to cleanse and pu
lify the infected dintrict. There is no occa
sion for any alarm, but a proper sense of our
duty compels us to tay that yellow- fever
does exist, nnd cases will continue to occur
until a few heavy fiosts have visited us.
