REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER. Office of the Middle Creek Rail Road Company. LEWISTOWN, Pa., Dec. 10th, 1866. ABNER THOMPSON, ESQ., President M. C. R. R. Co. Sin:—The following Rei>ort of the results of prelimi nary surveys for the Middle Creek Rail Road, with accompanying map and profile is respectfully submitted: Field opei-ations were commenced on the 9th of October and terminated on the 9th of November, during which time 110 miles of survey were accomplished. The main line, upon which the estimate below is based, commences at a point on the Mifflin & Centre R. R. near Kline's, one-half of a mile south of the Freedom Iron and Steel Works, and, crossing Kisbacoquillas Creek with a bridge and trestle work 18 feet above low water, passes along Dry Valley, and near the Dunkard church and through Lilleysville to the valley of Jack's Creek. Crossing Jack's Creek with a bridge or 100* ft. span and 12 feet above low water, the line ascends, with considerable heavy grading to the summit of the ridge dividing the head waters of Jack's and Middle Creeks— thence with undulating grades, and light work, passing D. Stack's. A. Middleswarth's and J. D. Romig's to Adamsburg. From Adamsburg, through Beavertown to Rea ver Furnace, some little heavy grading is encountered. Just east of Beaver Furnace the line reaches the main valley of Middle Creek, and, following thesouth bank pas ses oue-quarter of a mile south of Middleburg, and crossing Middle Creek 1 1 miles east of Jacob Smith's, with a bridge 100 feet long and 12 feet high, passes the dividing ridge to the valley of Penn's Creek and the Susquehanna at Seiinsgrove. Thence de flecting northwardly anil crossing Penn's Creek with 200 feet of bridging 15 feet high, the route follows the west bank of the Susquehanna, with lightgrading to the bridges at Sunbury and Northumberland. THE LATERAL SURVEYS. (1) From Freedom Forge up the valley of Hungry Run and connecting with the main line at Lilleysville. This line, although practicable with the maximum grade of 52 feet per mile, encounters a very heavy summit cut and is 11 miles longer than the Kline route. (2) From the M. & C. It. It. one-half of a mile north of the Tannery, over Ranks' summit to the main line at the Dunkard church. This route is one-quarter of a mile longer than the main line, and encounters a summit which can only be compassed by grades far exceeding the maximum established. (3) From the M. & C. R. It. at the Tannery, by the Poor House, crossing Jack's Creek at the "High Bridge" and ascending the valley of Jack's Creek to the main line near the widow Wagner's. This line will involve the construction of Jof a mile more Road than the Kline route at a greater cost of $27,876. (4) From the M. & C. It. R. at Main Street, by the mouth of JackVCreek to the main survey at the widow Wagner's. This route is 21 miles longer than the main line, and exhibits a profile too rough and expensive to require even an estimate. (•?) Passing Adamsburg upon the north confines of the village instead of tliesouth This will increase the distance over the direct route <>oo feet, hut will require a less amount of grading, and must be subjected to the further tests of locating surveys. (6) Defieciing from the main line near Jacob Smith's,o miles from Seiinsgrove and connecting with the main survey 2 miles north of Seiinsgrove. This route will save 1} miles in distance, but will require a modification of your charter for its adoption. it) r loin Seiinsgrove to the Treverton bridge. This distance is 2J miles greater than to the Sunbury bridge, will be more exposed to the Hoods, will encounter heavy rook cuts, and cost $50,000 more. It will also increase the aggregate distance to Sun bury 132 miles. It will however save the cost of a bridge—the Treverton Coal Com pany offering the free use of theirs. 18) From Seiinsgrove, by the " Bake Oven" near the mouth of Middle Creek, to the main line jot a mile east of Jacob Smith's. This line encounters much heavy work and 1 h miles of increased distance. Before a final location is adopted, further recon nuisances and surveys should be made through Freeburg and Middleburg, and Buffa lo and Dry Valleys. DISTANCES. 1 rom the Pa. AM.&C. R. R.

Or: this point there can be no doubt, if the Road is commenced with sufficient capi tal, finished in the shortest possible time, and is judiciously and economically managed. '1 here will be no tunnels or heavy rock excavations to prevent the road from being completed and in operation within 18 months after the work is commenced, thus sav ing the heavy loss of interest incident to the construction of more costlv works. The line will have not over 15|>er cent, of curvature, and the maximum grade in the di rection of the heavier traffic westwardly will be of unfrequent occurrence, and in 110 case over 12 miles in length. There will be no efforts for a through N. Y. business in competition with existing routes, and requiring fast express trains at greatly increased running and maintenance of way exjtenses. The road can therefore be worked under moderate and paying schedules.

We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu sical instrument more perfect, although we are slow to admit that the limit of improvement can ever be attained. Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe tition with instruments of the best makerst>f this country and Europe, and received the reward of mei lt, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It is but justice to say tnat thejudgnienithu* pronounced has not been overruled by the musical world. Still, by the improvements lately applied by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in strument lias been made.

MICHAEL HINEY, Lewistown, Deo. 12, 1860. Register. Haines' Patent SAFETY BRIDIE The Best and Most Effectual in Use. YTCMEROUS patents have tieen issued and various improvements made on Safety Bridies, hut here is nothing invidious in saying that the invention pa tented by Joseph C. Haines of this piaee is superior to any yet offered, combining teatures of simplicity and power in guiding and surging a horse or horses which no other possesses. The essential feature of this patent i* in providing the driving rein with shift ing bearing*, winch form the points of attachment between the rein and hit rings, and thus act upon the hit directly, when easv and steady driving will con trol ti.e animal, hut when it requires a more severe application of the bit, said bearings leave the bit rincs and give way to the straps to which thev may be At tached. This is all don.- by the regular driving line no extra oue being required, which ought to satisfy every person of the great superiority ot this inven tion to any other. The following certificates from well known gentle men. some of whom have had much experience with horses will show the estimation in which this bridle is weld : Lewistows. Aug 21, 1 866 Having occasion to try the Safety Bri.fle invented by Joseph C. Haines, ot this town, upon my runaway mare, the result has proven to my entire satisfaction that any horse can he prevented from running off or kicking. Mr. H. M. Pratt, whose large experience w.th horses induced me to call upon hiin u, drive mv mare and test the safety bridle, concurs in the oilm lon that it la the best bridle ihat has for its entire control of a horse in harness or under The sad 1 '' Geo. W. Hoover. . ~ .. Lewistows. Atio 21 i sroi Joseph C. Haines—Dear Sir - After havmg fullftri ed your Safety Bridle on my untrained c.dw. [ find that your invention embraces al. that is desirable a bridle. Its simp e construction, and adaptation to any common bridle and any rein, cannot .ut ni ike its use universal. The ease with which it can be ad justed to a soft or hard mouthed horse isan excellent feature, rendering its use as effectual in preven in ' running or kicking as any other patent bridle or rem and as easy on the mouth as the common bit. and as it is alwasy ready at the critical moment, it cannot but recommend itself to all who will try or look at it Respectfully yours, A. T. Hamilton, M I. , . . ... Lewistowx, December 8, lkfi6. I haye been driving horses since I know anything about them, and have drove some very vicious horse* and colts. In driving such with a common hridle I never feel easy nor comfortatie to enjoy the ride 'it is more annoying, however, when ybu have persons with you and you can tell by their countenance that they don t enjoy the ride from fear of your horse running a little, or even runningaway. 1 have alwavs thouhgt there might he a bridle or bit so constructed that you could drive and hold horses with perfect ease and safety. The first of this kind 1 happened to see was Dr. Uartman's. I thought it was very good. In the meantime it occurred to me that the vrav the lines worked on the bridle you could not draw the bit and let it orop quick enough on your horses. Some i horses and colts when you surge them tightly and cannot slack the lines quickly, they will balk and ! back very ugly. I once saw Mr. Chi ists and Stamen s i patent with the elastic strap, working on about the I same principle as Dr. Hartman V Mr. Christ then gave me a bridle to try on mv horse. 1 had the same ' objection to it I had to pr. Hartman s. My attention was next called to Mr. Joseph Haines' Patent, of our ' town. My attention was arrested immediately w.th t the appearance of it. I have been using it for some two weeks quite successfully. 1 have drove alone the railroad and other ugly places, feeling quite sale I think it embraces all you can get out of a bridle ' If ' the public once get to see this bridle, they can't i.eln hut understand its simplicity, durah.lity and effective- i ness all taken together, cannot help recommending i ,tself. Railroads are made and being made through the country in every direction. orossing our pubfic roads four or five times in as many miles sometime* These crossings often occur at very ugly place Ali parties are more or less afraid of meeting''the train* 7 h. snd T, hf V< i i ,Dg f 'i r lear ll,e ' r horAes w,l™ke fright, and not be able to hold them.
