are few this side of the Atlantic, we opine,
who will agree with the conclusion at which
it arrives.

FRUIT PROSPECTS. —Througbouttbe country
the prospect of an abundant crop of apples
is most favorable. In a recent journey of
over three hundred and fifty miles we found
every orchard white with bloom. Peaches
in this locality have been nearly all kilied by
the severe winter except in high ground
where there may yet be a light crop. From
the regular peach growing districts of the
c- ntry both east and west the reports indi
cate a full average crop. Pears promise an
average crop if not injured bv frosts or cold
wet weather. Grapes are putting forth slowly
and have been seriously damaged by the se
vere winter.

NEW RAILROAD PRO-IECC —An important
railroad project is on foot in Delaware, by
which the city of Wilmington will be connect
ed with the-Western borders of Pennsylvania,
by a route passing through the southern
counties of the State, Chester, Lancaster,
York, Adams, Franklin, Bedford. Somerset,
Fayette and Green. The Wilmington people
express their willingness to do their share of
the work, and the friends of the entireprise
conteud, that if the people residing in the
c vanties through which the proposed road
will pass, will do theirs, there will be n
difficulty in bringing about asuccessful practi
cal result. It is claimed by the Wilmington
people that the Brandy wine and Christiana
rivers afford not less than twelvs miles of
trontage suitable for wharves, between the city
proper aud the Delaware, that the harbor af
forded by the mouth of the Christiana is a
natural harbor of safety for shipping, and the
only one ofimportance on the west bank of
the Delaware, above the Breakwater, at Cape
Henlopen. Philadelphia titar.

ARE HEAVIER THAN VIR
GINIANS?—-A QUESTION FOR PHILADELPHIA.
—The following article, taken from the Pitts
burgh Commercial, of May 6th, escaped us at
the time of its appearance in that journal.
We publish it to show our readers that there
are others who do not hold the Pennsylvania
Central in better repute than we have been
want to hold it, and further, that there are
other eyes directed to the route upon which
we are located. We have never been able to
understand why the Reading Railroad did not
make an effort to secure an outlet to the
West on this route. Perhaps this article
accounts for it.
According to the "Railroad passenger
rates" adopted by the last "convention of
railroad officers in the United States," the
fare from Baltimore to Pittsburg is $lO 50.
From Baltimore to Wheeling $lO 00. The
distance from Baltimore to Pittsburg via
Harrisburg, is 334 miles; Baltimore to
Wheeling, by same route, 425 miles: from
which it appears that a Pittsburgher coming
home from BaLimore must pay 50 cents
more for traveling 91 miles less distance,
than the citizen of Wheeling. The Pennsyl
vania Central Railroad and its connections
carry the Wheeling passenger at the rate of
2.35 cents per mile. If they could afford to
carry Pittsburgh passengers at the same rate,
the fare from Baltimore to Pittsburg would
be $7 87 instead of $lO 50. At the same
rate, the fare from Philadelphia to Pitts
burgh would be $8 32 instead of sll 00.
If a Philadelpbian wishes to go to Wheel
ing by the direct route through Harrisburg,
he will travel 22 miles farther than if he
started from Baltimore, and the cost of his
through ticket will be $lB 45. Thus for the
22 miles of additional distance he is compel
led by the Pennsylvania Central Railroad to
pay the sum of S3 45. If, however, be
chooses to reach Harrisburg byway of Balti
more, he will travel 85 miles further, and the
cost will be as follows:
Philadelphia to Baltimore $ :i 25
Raltiinorc to Wheeling 10 00
Philadelphia to WhceliDg Tia Enlii,.: >rc
and Harrisburg 1.1 2.
These figures indicate that the railway fa
eilties of Baltimore are d idedly superior to
those of Philadelphia, and Wheeling to those
of Pittsburgh, and are but examples of a host
which might be adduced to show that every
Eastern aDd nearly every Western city has a
like superiority in this particular over the
two which are supposed to constitute the
Eastern and Western termini of the great
Pennsylvania Railway.
This state of affairs has not been brought
about by the superior natural advantages of
any of our respective rivals. We make the
deliberate charge that it is simply and solely
the result of the blind infatuation of the city
of Philadelphia. Persuaded that a corpora
tion, founded for her own safety, and erected
chiefly with her own money, would lie devo
ted primarily, if not exclusively, to the ad
vancement of her prosperity as against that
of all other cities, her influence was exerted
without hesitation or reserve to accomplish
every measure proposed for the advantage
of the Pennsylvania Central Rail Road Com
pany. Every resistance to its encroachments
which to the plain, common sense of other
parts of the Slate seemed necessary to the
common interests of the people, was overrul
ed by Philadelphia influence. The main line
of the State canals, which with their connec
tions, the Portage and Columbia Railroads,
had been constructed at a cost of more than
$20,000.000 —*nd which would to-day have
been worth more than the original coat —was
given to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
for a song to be blotted from the map of the
Commoawealth. The tonnage tax, which
bad already amounted to nearly $300,000 and
would have now been three times that sum
per annum, was repealed.
The Philadelphia and Erie road—in whip-h
the city of Philadelphia had so largely invest
ed and which with the aid extended by the
State l.egi-lature ought to have been com
pleted and maintained as an independent en
terprise —was suffered to go into the hands of
the favored corporation, already gigantic in
iis power. Every measure proposed by the
company was advocated by Philadelphia on
faith. When the Atlantic and Great Western
Raihoaa desired to extend its broad guage
track to Philadelphia—her lawyers, her judg
es. her Legislators, were in the f rc front of
the battle waged against it by the great mo
nopoly.
When the Connellsville Railroad was about
to l>e completed her legislators chiefly pro
cured the passage of the infamous act which
repealed for a time the charter of that com
pany. In short Philadelphia influence
anointed and crowned the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, King of the Common
wealth.
And how has the king ruled for Phila
delphia interests? By uniformly discrim
inating against her and her natural ally,
Pittsburgh. The oil trade furnishes a strik
ing illustration. Pittsburgh was its natural
"refinery," and Philadelphia its true market
and shipping port. The Pennsylvania Com
pany. as transporter, holds the business with
in its grasp. Instead of drawing it gently to
Philadelphia, the company tightened its
greedy clutch upon the trade, so that more
than half of the refining business to escape
i -traugulatiou rushed off' to Cleveland — i.fty
miles further trom coal, 140 miles westward
from the oil wells, and 150 miles further from
the seaboard at any point than Pittsburgh.
As a consequence, the greater part of the
petroleum is shipped to foreign countries
from the port of New York.
By seizing with aridity ecery opportunity
to carry trade around her or away from
her which presents itself, as in ths Allen
town route to New York. The through
trains between New York and the West
touching Philadelphia as away station on
the great Metropolitan route. The newly
perfected cheap and quick line from Chica
go to Baltimore via the Philadelphia and
Erie and Xothern Central Roads. The
connivance with the latter to drive to Bal
timore the trade of one of the best regions
in the State, and in other cases which the
Philadelphiuns can- specify.
By using every means, fair or foul, to pre
vent the construction of any Railroad lead
ing towards Philadelphia, and every mea
sure which would tend to liberate her from
the unmerciful grasp of the monopoly.
When the Reading Railroad Company
ventured to show a desire to put forth its
arms to a Western connection, the King
cries caciare and threatens an opposition
road into the coal region as a punishment
;to the presumptuous malcontent. When the
| Connellsville charter has been restored by
the interference of the courts, and it is no
; longer possible to prevent the construction of
that line, every plain and valley between its
track and'Pbiladelphia is surveyed to prevent,
if possible, the construction of an indepen
dent branch to that city which the monopoly
may not control. When the Allegheny Valley
: begins work on the line to reach Philadelphia,
a force is set to digging across the proposed
track in order to form a nucleus for retarding
litigation; and meanwhile the throat of a
parallel road from Pittsburgh to Oil City,
backed by the wealth of the tnonoiioly, is
expected to terrify its stockholders into
abandonment of their measures for the re
lief of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. To,
use the exultant language of one of the Com
pany's organs, '"Pennsylvania is already
tolerably well fortified against invasion fiom i
interests hostile to present occupants : and if
the valleys of the Susquehanna, the Juniata,
the West Branch, and the Schuylkill, etc.,
are not commanded at all strategic points by
guns of long range, they are at any rate oc
cupied."
Every possible line on which a competing
route might be constructed, is claimed by the
-ham surveys of the Company or the sham
companies in its interest.
M ith such a king (Stork) to rule over
them, we are not surprised to learn from the
Philadelphia Press that there are some
"croakers" about. The astonishment to us
is, that there are still so many in Philadelphia
who believe in the face of every fact that
"the King can do no wrong." For this, the
newspaper press is in part responsible. Let
them fearlessly set before the public every
fact bearing on the situation, and the remedy
for past mistakes, and the croaking will soon
solidify into energetic measures to apply the
remedy. The patient has a magnificent
constitution, the cure is easy and wilt be
perfect.
The distance from Philadelphia to Har
risburg, via the Reading and Lebanon Valley
road, is 10" miles
From Harrisburg to Bridgeport,
on the Pittsburgh and Con
nellsville road, via Fishing
Creek and Sherman Valley, 135 miles
Bridgeport to Pittsburgh 13-5 miles
Philadelphia to Pittsburgh 877 miles
A distance greater than that of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, but doubly compensated
for by crossing the Mountains with a maxi
mum grade of only 67 feet per mile.
The cost of 135 miles necessary to make
this connection at, say, $45,000 per mile,
wil be $6,075,000. The parties to raise the
money are the Reading 3nd the New Jersey
Central roads, and the cities of Philadelphia
and New York.
By the Allegheny Valley Railroad another
route offers of similar length, icith no hearicr
grade than 20) feet to the mile, and wit!
admirable capacities which the length of this
article precludes ns from enumerating.
Who is so blind as not to see that the con
struction of these reads will place Phila
delphia, and Pittsburgh on an equal tooting
with the most favored railroad cities of the
Union? Let Philadelphia arise from hc-r
lethargy, stretch out her iron arras from the
Reading westward, and grasp the magnificent
future which is now within her easy reach.
To THE PEOPLE OF SOCTHEXX PENNSYL
VANIA. —The citizens of Wilmington; Dela
ware. who share the anxiety of the people of
the Southeastern counties of this State for a
new through railway line from East to West,
have addressed the following to the people of
Southern Pennsylvania:
The city of Willmington. Delaware, is sit
uated upon tidewater, at the point where a
straight line, drawn from West to East,
through the southern tier of counties in
Pennsylvania, strikes the Delaware River.
The city limits extend to the Delaware, and
include upon it, and upon the Brandywinc
and Christiana rivers, not less than twelve
miles of front, suitable for wharfage, and
having mostly sufficient depth of water to '
float the largest merchant vessels. The har
bor thus afforded hy the mouth of the Chris
tiana is a natural haven of safety for ship
ping. and the only one of any importance on
the west bank of the Delaware above the
breakwater at Cape llealopen.
The advantages of a harbor at this point
are numerous one of the most obvious and
important being the practicability of keening
open the mouth of the Christiana, and a chan
nel down the Delaware, throughout the win
ter season. It is upon the line of the great
seaboard railway communication between the
North and South: has a most complete and
effective railway system ending here which
taps all Delaware and Eastern Maryland, and
has in course of rapid construction an easy
and cheaply-bgilt road to the Schuylkill coal
regions.
It is proposed to you to build a road which
shall connect Wilmington with the Western
borders of Pennsylvania, by a route passing
through the southern counties of that State.
•Such a road is greatly needed. It has iong
been talked of. It would be of immense itr.
I ortanee to you. It would greatly enhance
the value of your property. It would open
to market, all the rich mineral and agricul
tural resources of your section. Such a road
is no visionary project. The route is practi
cable. Portion" of it. indeed, are already
constructed, and additional links and further
extentioos nre required. It can be built,
with ease, and at au early day, if yon will ex
ert yourselves in co operation with the city of
Wilmington.
For the practical test of the sincerity of
those who make this proposition, let it be
understood that Willmington will meet your
efforts, at or about the town of Oxford, in
Chester county, on the line of a railroad to
Philadelphia. A point in that neighborhood
be a point on your Pennsylvania route,
under any ordinary circumstances. Should
you build to it, you will therefore have made
uo mistake to acdommodate us. And if we
meet you here, ready to bring your trade to
a commodious harbor on tide water, or a
home market in a large and growing city: if
our inducements and invitations should be
good, you can then lake our short route to
V ilmington.
Let us have a response from all along the
So ithern line of Pennsylvania. You have
long been sealed up trom the influence of
trade, and growth a:.d development are wait
ing upon the construction of this railroad.
.Shall we shake hands upon a mutual effort ?
To this we respond: The people of the
Southern tier of counties of Pennsylvania are
ready and willing, to the extent of their abil
ity. to assist any pr-jnct that will enable
them to develop hidden treasures which are
irabc-ded in their hills and rallies and which
will also give them an outlet to tide-water
where, they fan convert their marketable pro
ducts into a fair equivalent in monef. We
have long urged the necessity of a trunk line
through the Southern tier of counties, and
while it has been conceded by the commer
cial people of the eatt that such a line is de
manded by every interest of trade, yet, by the
infamous course of that villainous corporation,
which appears to hold the destiny of the
Commonwealth in its hands, we have been
compelled to allow our interest to be hawked
about and put up as a shield for any amount
of outrage, thus adding insnlt to injury.
Let the people of Wilmington rest assured
that the Southern tier of counties are alive
to their interests and will leave no opportu
nity slip to advance them.

the preservation of that inestimable blessing.
Suffer liver disease, dyspepsia, chronic constipa

checked, and it will assuredly shorten life. It
cannot be said that tbo means of protecting the
system against the predisposing causing of die- ,
ease are withheld. The constitutions and pby- j
sique of the least robust mav be so strengthened
and fortified by a course of HOSTSTTKB S STO

disorders, but also to the ordinary complaints
which prevail in all countries and at all season.-.
If tbc immense importance of PROTECTIVE

At the bouse of the bride's father, Mr. William
liotUngahead, April 23d, by tho ltev. T. F. Can
non, Mr. JAMES A. GILCHRIST, or Bedford,
Penan.,to .Mm MATILDA HOLLINGSHEAD,
of Moundsville, West Virginia.
On the 21st inL, at tbe residence of the bride's
parent*, by the Rev. (J. C. Probst, Mr. JACOB
Rl f' K - of Monroe township, and Mis* RHO
DA LA A TON, of East Providence fp.
DIED
On the 2b tb ioM.. at 7 o'clock, A. M, at Bedford,
Dr. WILLIAM 11. WATSON, s k -ed iR year*.
3 month* and 22 days.
The announcement of the death of Dr. Wil
f t AH 11. WATSON, causes deep sorrow throughout
the eotJimunitv, in which his life w< passed. In
Lear and distant States, it will bring sadness to
many, who appreciated his rkill and urbanity,
during his long professional ministration at the
Bedford Spring?.
Upon thedeath of his lather, Doctor Watson, at
an early age, succeeded to the duties of a large
and laborious practice, which he pursued asgid
ously .and succ*s? fully—and here, in the legend*
of innumerable households, must the record of the
unpretending deeds of the physician's life be
found.
Kind and urbane in social intercourse, a- a phy
sician he was eminently ao; and in the sick-room
his tenderne-s and sympathy won at once the
confidence and affection of the patient and his
friends. In a profession, whose members are
proverbially jealous of each other, he succeeded,
better than mo.-t, men, in preserving the ameni
ties, and avoiding the asperities that often occur
in enntageouf practice.
Into ibe sacred precincts of home it is not for us
to intrude—farther than to know that tbe genial
and kindly qualities that characterized his outer
intercourse, shone with brighter lustre in the fam
ily circle, where he was loving and beloved.
But, after a life well spent, and leaving no en
mity in the breast of any living, the urbane Gen
tleman, the kind Father, the good Physician rests
fro m bis labors—but still lives in the memories
of those who remain to tread the same inevitable
path. ~
