nearly completed tho work contem

and Philadelphia, through this sec
tion of the State, to tho groat West,
with a branch road, to start at a point
somewhere between Clearfield and
Brookville, through Elk and McKcan
counties in this Slate, to Canada, cross
ing the border at or near Niagara Falls,
thus naturally drawing all the trade
and travel of Canada and Western
Ney York, over this route. The
Judge also stated that all tho inter
vening difficulties had been settled in
favor of this route except one that
of grado. This waa the only thing to
be disposed of, and that would be set

shortest and cheapest route, and would

but when the inmates of tho houso en
tered his room, there stood an undress
ed statue, about tho size of Hon. Ben

Ohio, with a revolver in each hand,
bellowing Assassin ? Assassin f ? But
upon inquiry, it was found that no one
had been in his room that night, ex
cept a tall gaunt Divine Yankee, from
Mass., who wanted an office; and no
instrument of death was found in the
room, except the two revolvers under
Ben's pillow, which he always carries,
and an empty brandy bottlo nnder the

to be made a Martyr, but we fear he
