Important Lawsuit .-Heavy Verdict.—
The suit of Butler's heirs vs. Pennsylva
nia ltailroad Company, was tried at Mid
dleburg, Snyder county, last week, and
on Friday evening the jury rendered a
verdict of SIB,OOO for the death of Col.
Butler. Mrs. Butler was killed at the
same time, and a suit is also depending
for her death. A motion for a new trial
was made, hut this will hardly he argued
before next court. The accident, it w ill
be remembered, occurred this side of Lan
caster, and from all the information that
could he obtained at the time it was ditti
cult to decide what caused it; but from
the testimony on the part of the plaintiff
it was shown that the cars were crowded,
that the train was running at a high speed,
and that the sudden turning of the axle
and wheels (causing the loss of life) was a
rotten tie. There was however much dif
ference of opinion on this point among
the witnesses, the defendants having pro
duced several who testified to the ties be
ing in good order.
Passing Through for Virginia.—A 11a
gerstown paper says:
" Within the past ten days quite a num
ber of i'ennsyivanians, hailing from Lan
caster, Mittiin, Huntingdon and Centre
counties, have been passing through our
town en route for the Valley of Virginia.
They come in groups generally of from
four* t eight, and from here travel by
stage or private conveyance to the valley.
These men are seeking investments in
real estate."
Among others who have recently left
i* Israel ltiehwine, w'ho goes to work for
Messrs. Wattson & Porter, near Lynch
burg, Ya . making fences on the large
farm owned by Mr. \V. and farmed by
Mr. I'.
Eg;., We take the following rich sketch
from the Harrisburg correspondent of one
of our exchanges. Major Liggett is well
known in this county, and his acquaint
ances will read his demise and resurrec
tion with interest :
Otfic -}luu'< r.s Sold. —The appetite for
public place is a growing disease among
the American people. It matters not how
great or insignificant a place may be, it is
only necessary to assume that it is vacant
to arouse a hungry pack of applicants for
its possession. Let me give you a funny
little illustration of this fact. The Keep
ersliip of the State Arsenal here i* a cozy
snuggery, paying twelve hundred dollars
a year and exacting no labor that soils the
hands or wearies the brain to fulfill its
duties. P. S. Liggett, of Juniata county,
is the present incumbent of this place," a
jovial, generous, pleasant man, of deep
and anient political proclivities, and of
that unyielding Republican stamp which
gives him great favor in the sight of Ins
partisans. Liggett is mortal—Liggett lias
the asthma—Liggett looksever in u semi
dying state. On Wednesday last it was
rumored that Liggett was dead, when lo!
a half dozen petitions floated through Har
risburg, each borne by an ardent applicant
for the place, seeking endorsement as to
titin-ss personal v, and approval as to claim
politically. Liggett's friends looked grave
and s:e.i at the loss of so amiable a fellow;
when, list as the contest began to grow
warm and threatening between the appli
cants or Liggett's shoes, the familiar
form of that worthy official was seen oil
the board walk of the capital grounds,
steadily approaching the Arsenal. Two
of the applicants discerned the tall figure,
and were almostthrowii into spasms with
"tiie idea that it was Liggett's ghost. It
was no spirit, however, from the spirit
land: it was the übiquitous Liggett him
self, not dead, but living, and promising
to continue in life upon the old principle
of those holding office, that few die and
none it sign. No one enjoys this joke
better than Liggett, who declares with
great complacency that he can't believe
lie is a dead mail.
B®v Dr. John McGlaughlin, who has
been in the army since his trip to South
America, paid our town a visit this week.
He was stationed at Natchez, Miss., for
some time, lias been mustered out, and
intends going West to hang out the pro
fessional shingle.
Ice.—l'. Ort commenced the regular de
livery of ice 011 Monday last, and as the
season for warm weather, strawberries
cream and other luxuries is now upon us,
everybody of course will want it.
Pastoral Change.—Rev. A. I). Hawn,
formerly of this place, having accepted a
call from the Lycoming Presbyterian
Church of Wiiliamsport, has tendered his
resignation of the charge at Sunhury.
The congregation adopted unanimously a
preamble and resolutions regretting the
change.
The D ankers. —The annual meeting of
this denomination will be held at Pipe
Peek. .Md., oil the 11 til of June. At the
Annua! Meeting of 1836, held near
Waynesboro', it was decided, "that there
be no public preaching at the place where
the Council is held," and "that there shall
be 110 boarding tent put up at tlie place of

A heavy thunder storm, with torrents
jof rain and hail in some places, passed
| over this county on Tuesday night of last
week. It was most violent in the neigh- |
borhood of the Seminary.
Sturgis has fitted up his barbering andj

wants a smooth and easy shave, or hair

A pocket book containing about S2O in
money and some papers of value was lost
on Monday morning in Brown or Third

paid for its return to Russell's Banking
House.
The I>o rough authorities gave notice of j
ian appeal on Thursday, last, but a num
ber of our taxpayers in vain sought some
one to appeal to. The charter absolutely !
requires an appeal to be held, and it was
decided a number of years ago that no tax
I could be collected unless it was held.
The search for ores through this and
neighboring counties continues with un
abated zeal. In Huntingdon a ledge of
rock lias been discovered with strong tra
ces of lead and silver, which is to he ana
lyzed. In the " gold region" in this coun
ty every foot of ground supposed to con-;
tain the precious metal has been leased,
except where owners have determined to
hold on themselves. Whether any will
pay, will probably be known within a
few months.

ProNpects of the Crops.
The people are deeply interested in
tho coining harvest, and, in the midst
of present high prices and the impend
ing gloom of a wet, cold and backward
season, an assurance that better days
are in store and not far off, is like a
ray of sunshine on a dark day. We
have gleaned tho following accounts!
and promises from the sources named,
and which are entitled to credit for
reliability.
NEW ENGLAND.
The crops in New England give good
promise. There was moro winter
wheat sown last fall than usual, and a
fair sowing of spring wheat will help
to swell the supply. Main, Vermont,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut promise more
than a usual crop of grain and fruit.
The Manchester (N. II ) Mirror says
that the rains of this spring have been
very advantageous to the soil of New
Hampshire. Grass has started finely,
and it the rains continue, May will
make a crop of hay that will cause
farmers and purchasing consumers to
laugh. It was five years since the
earth was full of water till now, and
as a consequence the crops have been
light everywhere. Tho St. Johnsbury
(Vt) Caledonian says the recent rains
'have made the high price of hay trem
ble.
NEW JERSEY.
This sandy State will he benefitted
by tho rains, and the promise of fruit
is good. The Newark Advertiser says
that blossoms are profuse; and that al
though the weather is cold, the only
fruit injured, and that but slightly, is
the early strawberry.
NEW YORK.
The Albany Evening Journal has an
intelligent correspondent, who has
traveled through several of the central
counties of this State, and who reports
that winter grains, so far as he has oh
served, are looking remarkably for- i
ward, and of vigorous growth. There
was no appearance of its being winter
killed. Tho grass also promises are
murkable yield.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The growing wheat in the grain
growing sections of this Stale gives
gratifying token of a good crop The
promise has never been better.
OHIO.
The Cincinnati Gazette says the
new crop of wheal will come upon a
market more bare than has been expe
rienced for a great many years. This
being the case, it is particularly pleas
ant to know that the growing wheat j
crop was never more promising. In
some sections the breadth of land
planted was not as large as usual, ow
ing to the great scarcity of seed ; but
there is, nevertheless, fair average of
land under winter wheat, and if the
harvest turns out as well as it now
promises we shall have a large yield
The crop is of course still liable to suf
fer, but let it suffice for the present
that the prospects are excellent and i
the season decidedly favorable.
INDIANA.
The accounts are not quite as favor
able from this State as from other sec
tions, but the indications are by no:
means discouraging. A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer who has I
traveled over the State, gives as the
result of his observations, that the crop j
will be an average.
ILLINOIS.
The Chicago Tribune says the win i
ter wheat is luxuriant and promises a!
full average crop, which would tin
doubtedly have been larger had it not
been for the rainy weather last fall,
which curtailed the sowing The in j
creased breadth of spring wheat, in i
duced by the present high prices, will,
however, make up for deficiencies in
the winter crop.
The Springfield Register gives a
"lowing account of the fruit promise in
that State. It su3 - s apples, pears, cher
ries, apricots and quinces will bo abun
dant.
MICHIGAN.
Tlie accounts from 3erricn, Cass,
Eaton, lonia, Washtenaw and Wayne!
counties, as well as other portions of!
the State, are that the prospect of a
good crop of wheat has not been bet
ter for several years. Tiie number ot
acres sown lias been increased and the
farmers are very cheerful and hopeful
of an abundant harvest.
WISCONSIN AN'L MINESOTA
Information derived from intelligent
sources in these States indicate a good
state of growing wheat and a largely!
increased crop The number of acres
sown in Wisconsin this year will be at
least thirty per cent, greater than last
year.
IOWA.
The Dubuque Herald of the 9th ult
says: During the past week the farm
ers throughout the State havo been
busily engaged in putting in their
spring crops. A greater quantity of;
ground has been sown to wheat this!
year than at any other season, and
thus tar promises well for its growth.
The scarcity for this valuable cereal
during the past spring has taught our
farmers a lesson that they will not
soon forget, and it they are short again
it will ho through no fault ot theirs.
The West Mitchell Press says : Gen
tlemen who have traveled in that lo
cality say that although the season is
backward the winter wheat never
looked better. From present indica
tions the granaries of lowa will he till
ed to overflowing this fall.
MISSOURI.
The St Louis Dispatch says: 1 Look
ing at such prices as S3 85 a bushel for
wheat, we may well congratulate our
selves upon the prospect of the wheat
crop. The fields in this section which
were down to wheat last fall look very
tine. They are covered with a thick
carpet of the rarest verdure, and, if
the season henceforth prove favorable,
will yield most abundantly, the prom
ise being that the crop will he as supe
rior in quality as it will be in quantity.
We have the same report as to the ap
pearance of all the other fall sown
grains. There is complaint of a * back
ward seuson,' but there is plenty of
time to make fine corn and other sum
mer crops. Old farmers tell us that
the corn crop is never poor two years
in succession ; and as last year it was
indifferent, we ma}* look for a good
return this year. The ground, with
out any superabundance, is well sup
plied with moisture. The favorable
weather, which after some delay we
may now expect, may be reasonably
counted upon to bring forward and
mature the crops. Upon the whole,
we may say of all the crops adapted to
the soil and climate of this section of
the country, the prospect is seldom
more encouraging than it is now.'
KENTUCKY.
Reports from Kentucky arotothe.
effect that although the usual breadth
was not sown last fall, wheat is in fine
i condition and the prospect most flat
tering. All kinds of grain give prom
' ise of an abundant yield.
TENNESSEE.
In this State the wheat crop bids
fair to be excellent. The McMinnvillo
[Enterprise says: We have recently
traveled through portions of the coun
ties of Warren, Putnam, Smith and
Do Ivnlb and find the wheat crop to be
very promising in appearance.
GEORGIA
The Atlanta Intelligencer says : The
news from the country all around At
lanta, for a hundred miles or more, as'
to the growing wheat crop, is of the
most cheering character. Not only!
was an unusual breadth sown, but so
far as wo can hear, from all directions,
the report is it looks to the highest de
gree promising. If no mischief befalls
it the yield will exceed that of any for
mer crop. It has been estimated that
a crop of ten millions of bushels will
be gathered from the counties on and
contiguous to the State railway. The
nows from the counties west and I
northeast of us, as yet unjustly depriv
ed of railway facilities, is also good.
ALABAMA.
A Mobile paper says: From all
parts of the State we hear the most
cheering account? of the next crop
Cotton and corn aro growing finely,
and the generality of farmers are
blessed with good stands of both.
Wo have collected whatever intelli
gence we can gain of the crops in the
grain growing sections of the country,
and it is riot in any degree encourag !
ing to croakers and monopolists. A:
few weeks more will pour into the
market a fresli supply to force down I
prices and gladden the hearts of con
sumers We have occupied consider-j
able space with this subject for the:
reason that it is of more general public
interest than any other. It relates to
the staff' of life, and comes home to
the firesides of all.
