BItE4E IN THE PENNSYLCANIA CANAL.-00 Monday a slight break opened in the e.m bankment of the Pennsylvania Canal, on the "Three Mile level," near nocliville, above Harrisburg.

ANOTIIER RAI Lll.o.o.—OUr • C i tiifridir has passed an ordinance giving Messrs. Maltby it Case the privilege of htyinc' n railroad over part of Mill street. This will be a pri vate road for the accommodation of the C lumbia Rolling Mill, starting from the Penn sylvania Railroad at n point below Perry street, crossing the lot north of Mill street, and Mill street, to hind of C. J. Posey. im which it will continue, parallel to Mill Road, to a point near the Rolling Mill when it will again cross to the north. This road will do away with many disadvantages of lu entity and bring the R Ming Mill almost directly on the Penna. Railroad. P. R. R. ears loaded with coal cm be run directly do the Mill, and the manufactured it-on will follow the same route, thus dispensing with a heavy expense in hauling. The con struction of the road will be simple and not expensive, there being bet little variation from a level until within a few yards of the :mil. CHANGE or 'Tore.:—lt will bo seen, by reference to our time-table, that the running of the trains will he, after M.Thday next, materially altered from the present oohed ale. We obtain another train in addition to those already running—the auto In bin Ac• commodation train between this place and Lancaster being again put on the road.— This giros us fotir.trains, including the Em igrant, daily, to Philadelphia, tind live from the city. The principal change will ho in the arrival of the Mail, West, which reach es here at 11.07 A. M., inste.td of 11.50. and in the departure of the 11,trrisburg Ac commodation East, at 5 1.5 P.

With all this facilit:v:f trat-cl there should be an earnest onr, la is 0:1 the p.a•t 07 our busalicss incla to better ou:• Mail arraoge mums. Since the discontinuance of the night :nail we are compelled to wait until noun for letters, which. under the old or rangetnent, we would receive early in the mnrning, The Mail carried in the Lan. caster Accommodation train, arriving hire at 8.20 P. Nl., amounts to nothing at all.— It leaves Philadelphia too early to accommo date business correspondence. All letters mailed in that city after 4 o'clock, at latest, lie over until next morning. It is a pitiful piece of economy in Government, and our people should protest against it. A mail agent between this place and Lancaster is all that is required. The mail by the night Express can be carried from Lancaster in the Emigrant train as before. We recom mend it to the Board of Trade as worthy attention; PARADE OF VIE Cor f u ants 3.47ATIONAL BAND; The unfavorable weather of last Monday prevented the parade of the Band and Fire: men at the hour fixed, and announced in last wepk'e Spy.

Attest 11'x. P. LLOYD, Clerk. Ditim—No human being can retqfp.r.,any time in a . state of equilihriu]in., Avhere. the desire to.live and that to depart just balance each other. .jf one has a house, in which he has lived, and always means to live, he pleases himself with the thought of all the conveniences it offersiiip, and thinks little of its wants and imperfections. But once having made ur his miud_ to move to a bet ter, every incommoditystarts put upon him until the very ground-plan of, it seems to have changed in his mind, and his thoughts and affections, each of them packing up its little bundle of circumstances,. have quitted their several chambers and, noolt,s_and mi grate to the new., home, long befuto apart ments are ready to receive their bodily tenant. It is so with the, body. Most . pertions have died befofe they expire,—died to all earthly longings, so that the last breath is only, as it wore, the locking of the door of the already deserted mansion. The fact of the tranquility with which the great major ity of dying persons await this locking of those gates of life through which its airy angels have been going and coming, from the moment of the first cry, is familiar to those who have been often called upon to itiiess the last period of life: Almost always there is a frepitihiliOn made b nature for unearthini a soul. just as on a smaller scale there is'for the remov al of a milk.tooth. The Aotiflich hold hoot tr earth are absorbed before it is Iron its place. Some of the dying are weary and want rest-, the idea of which is almost inseparable in the universal mind from death. Sot»e are in pain, and Avant to be rid of it, even though the anodyne be dropped, as in the legend, from' fife Sword of the death-angel." Sonic stupitcd—mercifully narcot ized—that they may go to sleep :without long tossing about. And some are strong in faith and hope, so that, as they draw near the next world, they would fain hurry to ward it, as the caravan moves faster over the sands when the foretnost traveler sends word along the tile that water is in sight. Though each little party that follows in a foot track of its own will have it that the water to which they are hastening age, not the less has it been true in till ages, and for lit:m.lA being; of every creed which recognized a future. that those ‘ . 1.1i . 0 have fallen, worn out Li their march through the desert, have dreamed at least of a River of Life, and thought they heard its murmurs as they lay dying.—Atlantic Monthly. TITF .. WIqIItIt Mixe.—The San Francisco corresp .ndent of the N. Y. Times says that the excitement about the discovery of silver at the NVashoe mines is so great that the clergy and press have united to caution the public against all setting out for western Utah at once. It is impossible; however, to stem the tide. The s'm:raider:lc:l .boats are crowded with men on their way io the sil ver veins, a daily line of stages is to be put on the road, and travelers say that the trails and roads leading to the mines and "crawl ing, with emigrants.". The stories told of the richneis of the vein continue to be marvellous. A ninety sixth interest in the Ophir Company bought for S2OOO, was sold a month after for $lO,- 000, the lucky speculators never having so much as set eyes on his property.; and other stories are even more marvelloui. Ono hun dred and eight claims of 100 feet each have been recorded as "placer claims," and four teen hundred and forty-four claims of 200 feet each have been taken up as quartz The silver is now received in San Francisco, for. in February the mint in that city coins! $5‘.1,741in tiler, mostly from Washoe.

Beadle, of Huntsville, Alabama, called on us and gave us permission to publish for the beuefit of suffer ing humanity, the astonishing cure which had been affected In the case of his wife by the use of Di..Hanee's Vegetable Epileptic Pills. He informed us, that at the time his wife com menced using the medicine, her system was so entirely prostrated, by the number of spasms she had undergone, as to reduce her weight to 100 lbs. Since she has been taking the pills, she has entirely got,over the spasms and has gained in weight arid bodily health.— She now weighs at least 200 lbs., and declares she is in better enjoyment of health than ever before ,in her life. Mr. Beadle also related the, case of Mr. Harrison Lightfoot of the same. town, who has been entirely cured of the waist farm of Epilepsy by these same pills.— Mr. Lig,htfoot's case was p° bad that he never. passed a week without having an attack. often falling down in the street. He has not had an attack for more than a year. Mr. Beadle thinks that the pills ever fail in curing a case,, it isfor the want of n proper .pereeve, ranee on the part of the person in taking them, as he feels assured from observation in the case of his wife, that if they are taken for a sufficient length of time, they will cure any case.
