and the rumor was fearfully confirmed by
the sight of the body of the victim. From
the appearance of the deceased, it was at

PORTRAIT OF WIT:TESS FOR most:elvox;
Fr 0 .71 1 a l'hotograpb by Lodge.
The deceased was well known in our com
munity as a lady of excellent standing, good
moral character, and most amiable disposi
tion; having movel in the first circles, her
loss will be deeply felt by a large and sor
rowing circle of friends and relatives among
the canine haul lon of Columbia. She was
of an affectionate and playful nature, and
with the single exception of the tearing of
the br—ch—s cited above, which appears to
have been rather a demonstration of affection
than of hostility, was never known to evince
ill will towards her companions, biped or
quadruned. A few days previous to her
melancholy demise, her likeness was taken
for a gentleman friend, by whose kind in
dulgence we engrave it for the Spy.

P. Since writing the above we have
learned that the dug was not murdered, but
legitimately slain: having been found run
ning at large contrary to the proclamation
of the Chief Burgess. When this proclama
tion was iqsned, we most heartily approved
it, and now consider it a praiseworthy effort
on the part of the authorities of the town to
keep us free from danger, and torrid the

which throng our streets unnecessarily, and
to the annoyance of all quiet-loving citizens.

EA` , T PENNSI it.t11.110.11).- -- We are
gratified to learn that this road (late Read
ing and Lehigh,) has been put undir con
tract, the shanties erected, and the Engi
neers are at work making the final location
of the line. It has been given out in small
contracts to men well known fur their activ
ity in work of this sort, and will no doubt
be completed at an early day.
Among the various public improvements
which have benefited, or are calculated to
benefit, this city, this road yields to none in
importance, and we anticipate the happiest
consequences front its completion. It opens
an avenue in a new direction, and a direc
tion in which there is some vitality. New
York will soon be twice in the mouths of
our citizens to Philadelphia's once, and its
great activity and the enterprise of its peo
ple cannot but have some influence in this
direction.
The iron interest of the town look to the
road as having an important bearing upon
this business. At Rending the valuable
beds of hematite or "cold short" ores of
Berks and Lehigh counties will meet the
Cornwall or "red short" ore of Lebanon
county—the union of the two, either in the
furnace. or the mixture of the metal pro
duced by each, being indispensable to the
making of the best iron. The extent to
which this business, Which already adds so
largely to the prosperity of Rending, will
be curried on, can as yet scarcely be imagi
ned.
A portion of the stock remains to be ta
ken, and we hope that our citisens will
show their sense of the advantages to lie
anticipated from this work, by coming for
ward and promptly completing the small
balance which remains of the subscription.
It is emphatically a Reading enterprise,
and our people should feel a city pride in
seeing it successful. Every one can do some
thing—if it is only a share or two—any
who have as yet done nothing can do much
more. All should do something, and we
hope will.—lleading Journal.

TILE MONKEY AND THE HAWK.—The cook
of a French nobleman, whose chateau is in
the south of France, had a monkey, which
was alloWed the free range of the kitchen,
and which was so intelligent that by severe
training its natural propensity to mischief
had been subdued, and it was even taught to
perform certain useful services, such as pluck
ing fowls, fur instance, at which it was un
commonly expert. One fine morning, a pair
of partridges was given to it to pluck. The
monkey took them to an open window of the
kitchen, which looked directly upon the park
and went to work with great (Diligence. Ile
soon finished one, which he laid on the outer
ledge of the window, and then went quietly
On with the other. A hawk, which had been
watching his proceedings from a neighboring
tree, darted down upon the plucked partridge
and in a minute was up in the tree again,
greedily devouring his prey.
The consternation of the monkey at this
untoward adventure may be easilyinnagined.
Ile knew he should be severely whipped for
losing it, lie bopped about in great distress
tier some minutes, when suddenly a bright
idea struck him. Seizing the remaining
partridge, he went to work with great ener
gy, and stripped off the feathers. Ile then
laid it on the ledge, just where he had placed
the other, and closing one of the shutters,
concealed himself behind it. The hawk,
which by this time had finished his meal,
very soon swooped down upon the partridge,
but hardly had his claw touched the bird,
when the monkey sprang upon him from
behind the shutter. The hawk's head was
instantly wrung, and the monkey with a tri
umphant chuckle, proceeded to strip off the
feathers. This done, he carried the two
picked fowls to his master, with a confident
and self satisfied air, which seemed to say,
"There are two birds, sir; just what you gave
me." What the cook said, on finding one
'of the partridges converted. into a hawk, is
more than we are able to say.
"Jou); PutEstx." IN THE LADIES' CAR.-
"John Phocenix," the initnitable wit, thus
tells an incident connected with a ride on
the New York Central Railroad. He re
lates it in a letter to the Knickerbocker
Magazine, and puts it un record to serve as
a caution to future innocent travelers. He
says
"I had observed that at each change of
cars, and they were frequent, when the
general scramble took place, one car was
defended from the assault by a stalwart
man usually of Irish persuasion, who, deaf
to menaces, unsoftened by entreaty, and
uncorrupted by bribe•, maintained his post
fur the benefit of the ']eddies.' Leddies'
car sir, av ye please; forwid car for gintle
men without `leddies.' Need I say that
this car so reserved was by far the most
comfortable of the train, and that with that
stern resolve which ever distinguishes me
in the discharge of my duty toward myself,
I determined to get into it coute qui coute.
So when we changed cars at Utica, I rushed
forth, and seeing a nice young person, with
pretty face, bonnet and shawl, and a large
portmanteau, urging her way through the
crowd, I stepped up by her side, and with
my native grace and gallantry, offered my
arm and my assistance. They were grate
fully accepted; and proud of success, I ush
ered my fair charge up to the platform of
the ladies' car. My old enemy was bolding
the door. 'ls that your lady, sir?' said le.
With an inward apology to Mrs. Phcenix
for the great injustice done to her charms
by the admission, I replied 'Yes.' Judge
of my horror when this low employee of a
monopolizing and unaccommodating Rail
road Company, addressing my companies;
with the tone and manner of an old ac
quaintance, said, "Well, Sal, I guess you've
done well, bat I don't believe his family
wilt think much of the match."
A 7'.C..)1. Putnam told a story of an Indian
upon Connecticut river, who called at a
tavern in in the full of the year, for a dram.
The landlord asked him two coppers for it.
The next spring happening at the same
house, he culled fur another, and had three
coppers to pay for it.
"How is this, landlord?" says he; "last
fall you asked but two coppers fur a glass
of rum, now you a•k three."
"Oh!" says the landlord, it costs me a
good deal to keep rum over winter. It is
as expensive to keep a hogshead of rum over
winter as a horse."
"Ahl" says the Indian, "I can't see
through that; he won't eat so much hay;
maybe lie drink as much water!
This was slicer wit, and satire and true
humor. Humor, wit and satire in one very
short repartee.

TO THOSE WHO WANT FARMS,
A Farrn Within the Reach of Every Man.
MANE RIDGWAY FARM COMPANY has
made arrangements by which all who
destre to settle or purchase a home can do so.
The farms consist of the best limestone soil
of the most superior quality for farming, in a
rapidly improving place, into which an exten
sive emigration is now pouring. The'property
is located in Elk Connty, Penna., in the_mbist,
of a thriving population of some 10,000. Theeft
mate is perfectly healthy, and the terrible
plague of Ilse west, fever, is unknown. It also
has an abundance of the best quality of coal
and iron. The pi ice to buy it out is from $3
to $2O per acre, payable by instalments, to be
located at the time of purchasing, or a share or
tvt enty•five acres entitling to)ocate the same
for $3OO, payable $0 per month, or 321 acres
payable $4 per month. Discount for every
sum of $lOO and under, paid in advance, a dis
count of $5 per cent. will by allowed, and for
over $lOO a discouut of 10 per cent.
In considering the advantages of emigrating
to this locality, the following are presented.
FIRST—The soil is a rich limestone, capable
of raising the heaviest crops, owing to which
this settlement has attained its present great
prosperity.
Secosr.—lt is the centre of the great north.
west coal basin, and is destined soon to become
one of the greatest business places in the state.
It will supply the great Lake market, (accord
ing to population and travel the greatest in
the Union.) It has five workable veins of the
best bituminous coal, amounting in the aggre
gate to over 22 feet, which makes 22,000 tons
of coal under each acre. This will make the
land of inestimable value.
The eminent state geologist, Dr. Chas. T.
Jackson of Boston, huts made a geological sur
vey of the land, and analysed gar coal, the
iron ore and the limestone. This report, to
gether with maps, will be furnished to inqui
rers.
Fourrn —Three railroads are laid out thro . ugh
this property. The Sunbury & Erie Railroad
gives us a market for our coal to the lakes—it
runs from Erie to Philadelphia. A large part
of this road has been finished, and is now in
running order. A heavy force is now work
ing from Erie towards our land in the western
direction, the means for Abe completion of
which has been raised—it will soon be finished.
The Allegheny. Valley Railroad connects us
with New York, Boston and Pittsburg. The
Venango Road connects us with the West.
There are already good turnpike roads run
ning though this property, various other, roads
have - been opened to accomniodate.the emigra
tion and settlement which has already taken
place.
There is no opportunity equal to it now of.
fered to the man who wants to provide himself
a home in an easy way, and Make a settlement
where he can live in prosperity and indepen
dence in a climate PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
No case of the fever ever having been known
to occur in this settlement. It is not like
going to the backwoods Of ' the west, among
perhaps intolerant people, where there is no
society, churches or schools, where the price
of land is high, and where the emigrant, after
being used to the healthiest climate in the
world, has to endure sickness and pain, and
perhaps ruins his health and that of hiri family.
But here is a thriving settlement, having three
towns, containing churches, schools, hotels,
stores, saw mills, grist mills, and everything
desired. There is a cash market at hand.—
The lumber trade last year amounted to over
two hundred million feet of lumber. In a abort
time, owing to the coal, it will become still
more valuable, as-a number of iron works and
manufactories will soon be started; they are et
present starting them extensively at Warren.
Even for those who do not wish to go there,
the payments are such that they can easily
buy a farm to save their rising families from
want in the future, or to gain a competence by
the rise which will take place in the value of
lands. By an outlay
,scarcely missed, a sub
stantial provision can be made. Persons
should make early application, apply or write
to E. Jeffries,'Sec., No. - 135 Walnut street,
below Fifth, Philadelphia.' Letters carefully
answered, giving full information.
Shares or tracts of land can be bought or
secured by letter enclosing the first instalment
of five dollars; when tbesubseriber will be fur
nished with honks, maps, &c. Warrantee
Deeds given. Persons can also purchase from
our Agents:-
Roote from Philadelphia to Tyrone on the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad. and thence by
stage to the land. : 1 his a delightful season to
visit St. Mary's—the best hotel accommoda
tion is afforded.
