pot Nuttlligna: IMPOBTAIIT LAWAASE.—An important law is abOut being died in Harrisburg m the cases of the Com'th vs. the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the Canal. Company; these cases wll prove of great interest to all those vihO reside on the Susquehanna. It appears that in March, 18.56, the Legislature passed an aOt requiring the various dams en the Susquehanna river and its tributaries to be remodeled at the expense of their owners, to allow the passage of fish :The defend ants have refused to comply with the law, and, some months since, were indicted in Dauphin county. By consent of counsel a special verdict was found in each case.— Should judgment be entered against the defendants the dams will be abated as nui sances. The cases, also, involve the grave question of the limit of the powers delega ted to the Legislature under the constitu tions of Pennsylvania and the United States, and are of interest to members of every corporation. APPOINTMENTS.—Benjamin J. Schaum, of this city, has been appointed by the Secre tary of the Treasury, a storekeeper for this Congressional district. Mr. Abm. Heif.tand, of this city, has been appointed an Internal revenue guager, and has received his commission. the r .Expres3 states that E. J. Unger, for me conductor on the Harrisburg accom modation train•on the Pennsylvania rail road, has been appointed superintendent, and assumed control of the Union Depot Hotel at Pittsburg, and has removed his family to that city. Col. Unger still retains his position as Secretary and Treasurer of the Keystone Hotel company. FURTHER PARTICULARS.—The following are the particulars respecting the narrow escape of Henry N. Landis and wife, yes terday morning, while crossing the Penn sylvania Railroad near Mr. Landis' plagg about three miles East of this city. It ap pears that they were returning from Mar ket and, while crossing the railroad, did not notice the Mail train approaching, which was coming at a high rate of speed, until the engineer blew the whistle. On hearing the whistle Mr. Landis jumped out to lead the frightened horse while Mrs. Landis remained in the carriage. The locomotive struck the carriage on the hind wheel breaking the vehicle into pieces but happily both Mr. and Mrs. Landis were uninjured. Alter the train had passed the engineer backed up to the scene of the accident to learn what damage was done. THE New NICKEL COINS.—Tho denomi nations of the new coins are to be one, three and five cents, and they are to be composed of one-fourth nickel and three-fourths cop per. The one cent coin is to weigh a grain and a half, and will be about the size of the five cent silver coin which some of the ex isting inhabitants of the United States will recollect to have seen. The three and live cent pieces are to be about the size of the one and two cent coppers now in use, and will weigh respectively three and five grains. The new coin Is to be legal tender for a dollar except for 'duties on . ; imports, and all the existing nickel and c6itper coins will be withdrawn. TonAcco.—According to the revised reve nue law, all dealers in smoking tobacco will not be permitted to sell it in bulk after the first of January next. The article will be ;equired to be put in packages, stamped, and sold In that way. Smoking tobacco has been rated in two classes—the common is hixed sixteen cents per pound and a bet ter( article at thirty cents. THE LADY'S FRIEND eon 1869.—Never, perhaps,has there been published a more attractive number of a lady's magazine, than the January issue of The Lady's Friend. It leads off with a splendid illus tration on steel, of a 1 , 81,1 y of Miss Amanda M. Douglas, " Chased by Wolves." Then we have a striking illustration of Mrs. Wood's novelet ;—for " Roland Yorke, or, Done in Passion," a new and powerful story, by the famous author of " East Lynne," is commenced in the present 1111111 - bor. In the large and brilliant Fashion Plate, the editor has given two examples of the " Grecian Bend," us it is seen' in Paris— not for the imitation of her American read ers, but to satisfy their curiosity, and also to prove that this is not, as many suppose, a Saratoga fashion, but one having the usual French origin. " Last Words " ,(with poetry), Is a beautiful engraving. There are also very many, engravings devoted to lady's attire, and to the work-table, which the ladies can better appreciate than we can. The other literary matter is " Between ==Two," by that piquant and brilliant writer," Miss Elizabeth Prescott;" " Who was It, a Story of Planchette," by Mrs. Louise Chan dler Moulton ; " Where 7" by Florence • Percy; " Bridget's Romance," by Mrs. Hosmer ; "The Event at Milford," by Em ma B. Ripley ; novelties, editorials, &c. Published by Deacon & Peterson, 319 Wal nut street, Philadelphia, at $2.50 a year (which also includes a large steel engrav ing). Four copies, $6.

Tux OXFORD AND PEACH BOTTOM RAti. correspondent of the Oxford Press writes to that newspaper an account of the recent meeting held in Fulton twp., this county. favorable to the construction of a railroad from Oxford to Peach Bottom. He writes that although there was consid erable interest manifested at said meetingt, nevortheles there was not so touch as should have been. There is no section in the State of equal wealth and fertility that needs a railroad more than southern Lancaster county. Surveys of eligible routes have been made limo and again, and the itnpor tance of n railroad has been advocated by persons well versed in the advantages to be deprived from railway communications, but thus far with little success. There are two points up to which it seems our citi zens must be educated. _First. To distinctly understand that they must of themselves contribute of their abundance (in green backs) towards making a road, and aban don the foolish idea—u utopian dream— that some second party, some wealthy cor poration, will eventually build the road from Oxford to Peach Bottom. Second. To lay aside all:prejudice as to exact locations and resolve to subscribe liberally towards making a railroad some where within four miles of their reSidences, let it come north or south: of them as the case may be. Ibis not narrow-mindedness that:actuates mon to affirm that this valley or that dale is the only practicable route a road can be made and the one they will lever and sub 'cribe stock towards? Just such argument we have to meet every day, and it is some what diverting to hear how eloquent per sons may get in advancing their limited, biased ideas. Building railroads is no child's play, as all should ale, and in order to get a beginning made it requires the -united co-operation of all the citizens along the route—especlally Is this true in the ease under contemplation. ' At the late meetings of the citizens of Fulton and vicinity a fair, and we suppose very reasonable offer, was made by a skillful and experienced engineer, to grade the road from one point to the other. It now remains for those along the route to awaken to their own individual interests and keep this all importadt subject before the people until somethidg tangible is done. THE IA ANCAISTER W - FMTKEY . INTELLIGENCER, W. -- Mr)NESDA:Y, DECEMBER 30, 1868. DUTIES OF ROAD SUPERVISOESHWHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD ROAD.—The following recent decision in a judicial district of this State, where a supervisor was indicted for neglecting to keep the public roads in good order will commend itself to the common sense of the community everywhere. The Judge's charge of what 18 to be considered a legal road, and what are the duties of Su pervisors has not been so well delivered before, or understood. An understanding of what the Law is has long been wanting ; and if the roads are not hereafter kept " in good repair and free from obstructions," the fault will be with the citizens. The Judge speaks of the duties of Supervisors, as fol lows: It.is the business of the supervisors of the public highways to keep the roads in their respective townships.in good order for use —to have all new roads properly constructed and old ones carefully repaired. They are not vested with authority to judge how much space the travel in a particular place requires, nor how poor or indifferent a road will answer its purpose. To the fall extent that the ground has been appropriated to the public use, by the law, it must be opened, the entire space constructed into a good and convenient highway, and be thereafter con tinually kept in such condition. To remdve the fences and throw the ground open—or, in addition, to plow a ditch on either side, is not to construct a road within the mean ing of the law. The ground must be made reasonably smooth, freed from obstructions, and put in such shape that the water will drain off to the side, leaving the roadway dry and solid. Where the width is fixed at thirty-five (as is usual) or at any other I /Plait, it is because the Court, aided by the I report of a jar'', has determined that this space is necessary And whether this de termination be wise or not the sq.pervisors cannot consider. Their duty is simply to obey the order of the Court and the Act of Assembly, to open the road to the entire extent, and keep it thereafter free from ob structions and in good repair. If it is not needed to accommodate the travel, care should be taken that the Court is propelly informed and the road not established ; or if it has already been established, that it be vacated. But so long as it remains upon the records as a public highway it must be kept in good order for use. 1f auy part of it be obstructed by fences, stumps, rocks, (that can be removed) holes, or the like, such obstruction constitutes a nuisance and renders the supervisors liable to indictment. And In case of injury to any one, in person or property, front this cause, the supervi sors aro further liable in damages to the full extent of the loss thus sustained.' And it may be well that the people of the town ships should understand that they, too, an, responsible In their corporate capacity, for such loss. The supervisors nre their agents, and their safety in this respect requires that they should elect suitable men to the attire, and see that they perform their duty. The subject is one at deep interest to the public. No intelligent person can fail to appreciate the good advantage of roads, nor to sea that what is saved by withholding the molinS ngcessary to have them, is poor compedsa tion indeed for the wear and tear of teams and vehicles, to say nothing of the incon venience, delay, vexation and danger of traveling on bad ones. IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE REVENUE DISTRICTS OP PENNSYLVANIA.-FPOIII and after Saturday last, December 19th, the Assistant Assessors, heretofore employed in the different ltistilleries in operation, cease to act—all distilleries henceforth to be taxed to their full capacity when in opera tion. The effect of this change will of course be to save a large amount of money in salaries for Assistant Assessors and to reduce the manufacture of whiskey, as many distilleries will not operate, under this regulation, and therefore the price distilled liquors will be increased, becaus: of their tonsequent scarcity. RUN OVER.—On Monday last, the 11th inst., a boy of about 15 years of age, named 'Christian Ureybill, who resides with Mr. Abraham Myers, In Conestoga township, this county, while trying to lock (he wheels of a wagonovhile it was going down a hill, fell and the hind wheel of the wagon (the wagon being loaded with fifty bushels of lime) passed over his breast and one of his arms. The arm was slightly fractured, but no other bones were broken ; it is supposed, however, that lie was considerably injured internally. ACCIDENT.—On Monday last, the 11th inst, Mr. Joseph Erline. who resides in Conestoga Centre, this county, while climb ing up a ladder in his barn, fell down a distance of 12 feet, striking with his bend on the edge of a square stick of wood, which was lying on the barn floor. Mr. E. was in an insensible condition when found his head having been severely cut hnd bruised by the force of the fall. A physi cian was called whoa dressed his wounds and he is now rapidly recovering from his injuries. INTERESTING TO FARMERS.—The Com missioner of Internal Revenue has decided that farmers have no right to have their grain manufactured into' flour, and then sell the liour in any manner, without paying a license to the Government, and if they do, they are liable to the penalties provided by law. Day by day the people are becoming more and more acquainted with the face of the tax collector, and are growing more and more familiar with the ramifications of the Internal Revenue law. LANCASTER VS. DAUPHIN.—At the Dau phin county Teachers' Institute, held- last week at Dauphin, in Dauphin county, Pa., out of fifty words submitted by Prof. C. W. Sanders, to be spelled by the Teachers of the Institute, twenty-three per cent. of them were Misspelled. This, Professor Sander's said, was the best spelling he had met with at any Teachers Institute which he ever attended, except at the Teachers' Institute held at Lancaster, last month, at which only fifteen out of the fifty - words selected as the test were spelled ilicorrect ly.—Express. MEETING OF TEE PENNSYLVANIA FRUIT Chtowlins' Soctory.—Mr. S. It. Heiges, of York, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Fruit Growers' Society, has given notice that the annual meeting of the Society will be held in -the OrphanS' Court Room in Harrisburg, on the third Wednesday of January, being the 20th, 1669. Discussions on all the new fruits, from strawberries to apples, inclu sive, will be engaged in. Members are de sired to attend, and exhibit such fruits as they may have. This meeting will doubtless move to be interesting and instructive, as all the former meetings of the Society have been. LAUREL Rour.—Parties are now exten sively engaged in taking out the roots of the common laurel in the Charlestown barrens, near North East, Md., and on the liusque henna hills. The root is becoming an ar ticleof commerce in these sections. It com mands $2O per ton, and many tons are an nually shipped over the P. NV. it: B. R. It. to Philadelphia and eastward, to be manu factured into tool handles, pipes, It is a beautiful wood, and makes elegaat finish for fine dwellings. The roots are bulb shaped, and quite large, weighing from ten to fifty pounds each. The supply in the regions named appears to be inexhaustible. —Oxford Press. AFFAIRS IN PARADISE.—A correspond ent at Paradise, this county,. sends us toe following items: Quite an exciting race took place at Jos. Roop's Linden Grove Ilotel, in Paradise township, between Mr. Kautlman's sorrel horse, from Lancaster, and tiriali Eckert's Kilburn° mare, of this place. The distance was 500 yards, for $lOO a side. The betting was two to one on the horse, and the race was very close—the mare beating him about 5 feet. The ladles of the Episcopal Church held a Fair last week in Paradise Hall, for the benefit of the "Tower Society." This So. ciety was organized last summer for the purpose of raising sufficient funds to build a tower on the church. The Fair was large ty attended, and lasted four nights. Quite a number of articles were chanced off, among which was a handsome Afghan, a hundred chances were taken in it, and John F. Reese, an employee in Wenger's Coach Factory, drew the lucky number. ANOTHER NEW RAILROAD.—A corres pondent of the Chester County Republican Writes from Kimhleville to that paper as follows i During the past summer, our people were greatly excited over u proposed Railroad from Wilmington to Peachbottom, Lan caster county. Several meetings were held at different places along the route, to ascer tain the sentiments of the people, and suffi cient money was subscribed to survey the route. But little has been said about it the last few weeks ; it is hoped, however, that the project will not be allowed to fall through. Every farmer along the entire route is interested; for with a road through this section of country, there would be an outlet to market for grain and other pro duce, without being compelled to haul it from 18 to 20 miles in wagons. Besides this, the land that is now selling for $OO and $lOO per acre, would readily bring $l5O. Let the farmers and businessmen keep the ball rolling, and with a little energy, will re veberate the hills with the sound of the iron horse. ACOIDENT.—Miss Esther Hess, of Little Britain township, this county, aged 65 y oars, during a visit to her sister, Mrs. Reynolds, in Oxford, fell off the porch steps upon the ground on Tuesday evening of last week and broke her collar bone. ROBBERY.—We understand that the house near Browntown, about 9 miles from this city, belonging to Hon. T. E. Franklin and used by him as his summer residence, was recently broken into and robbed of several articles of value. The robbery was committed at night ; the house being u.noc.. copied. No clue to the robbers has as yet been obtained. Desith•Bed Confession ore Great' me. The New Orleans Picayune relatest some years ago a respectable young Man, the only support of a widowed mother and sister, was clerk in a dry goods store in that city. He frequently assisted the cash ier, and one day a forged note on the firm for $4OO, in the handwriting of the young man, was presented at the bank by an un known person avid paid. The young man admitted drawing the check, but had no recollection of the circumstances, and could give no explanation. He was arrested, tried and convicted. His mother and sister alone believed In his innocence. Bowed down with shame, and unable to vindicate his honor, be died shortly after. In lees than a year the bereaved mother died also, and the sister was left to struggle alone for a living, which she obtained by becoming a seamstress. A few days ago a lawyer was called to write the will of a man at the point of death. In this will he bequeathed his property to the sister, and embodied in the instrument a full confession of the for gery eight years az°. He was the cashier of the firm, now grown rich. It was by his direction the draft was prepared. Now after the lapse of eight years a tardy repa ration is attempted to be made. But it will not restore life to the dead, or extract the bitter sting of sorrow and grief so long en dured. It is one of the strange events which make up the story of life. Another Wife Murder Coroner Rollins was notified to hold an inquest over the remains of Mrs. Julia Crogan, who died at No. 446 West Twenty eighth street, front the effects of violence at the hands of her husband, Patrick. It ap pears that the deceased had been very ill with congestion of the lungs, and the police sent a physician to attend her, who ascer tained that she was also on the eve of her confinement. The husband, who had before been of temperate habits, went on a spree about this time and has continued so en• gaged ever since, sTbe physician prescrib ed medicines for his patient, but they were not administered, so that Mrs. Crogan lan guished in consequence. Three or four the nights ago the woman gave birth to still born child, which seemed to so mire_ the husband in his intoxicated condi ' that he made an assault upon her on ' eday night, and so brutally kicked her that death ensued yesterday morning at an early hour. Crogan was subsequently arrested, and is still in a state of stupor from the effects of the liquor drank by him during the few days' spree he has indulged in, so that ho does not realize the effects of Lis inhuman conduct.- N. Y. Herald. Taxes Refunded From official records it is shown that in the three years past our govertiment „lias refunded taxes amounting to nearly two and a half million dollars. The account stands thus:—Amount of taxes refunded, 1866, $514,344 40 ; 1867, $706,581 69; 1868, 81.0 1 18,2 24 81. Aggregate receipts, 1866, $310,- 906,984 17; 1867, $265,920,474 65;, 1868, $lOl,- 180,564 28. , From this it will be seen that while a steady and alarming falling off i>S the In ternal Revenue receipts has taken place, an undue and unprecedented increase in the amounts refunded has occurred. A bill introduced by Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, proposes to cut off this prac tice by sending claims for refunded Inter nal Revenue Taxes to the Court of Claims, where such demand reaches $.500 • under that sum the Commissioner of Internal Revenue would have the power to refund as at present. Farther, this bill makes it the duty of the Attorney General of the T_Mited States or one of his assistants to defend all such suits before the Court of Claims on account of this Government. This in nowise touches the many compromises made by Revenue officers, but applies only to refunding. 'Anion !a rag Nailrona. T" UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY OFFER A LIITED AMOUNT I M OF THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILES Of the line West from Omaha are now com pleted, and the work is going on through the Winter. As the distance between the finished portion of We Union mid Central Pacific Ralf roads is now less than .100 miles, and both com panies are pushing forward the work with great energy, rano o!. ing over :30,100 men, Were can be uo doubt that the whole GRAND LINE TO THE PACIFIC Will be open for BUSiIIeSS in tbc,!.'m mor of 1809 The regular Government Com lbders have pronounced the Union Pacific Scklroad to be FIRST CLASS in every respect, and the Special Commission appointed by the Pre•d dent says: "Taken as a whole, TIIE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD HAS BEEN WELL CONSTRUCT ED, AND THE GENERAL ROUTE FOR THE LINE EXCEEDINGL.Y WELL SELECTED. The energy and perseverance with which the Work has been urged forward, and the rapidl to with which It has been executed are with out parallel In Mims* . , and lu grandeur and magnitude of undertaking It has never been equalled." The Report states that any defi ciencies twat exi.t are only those incident to all new roads, and that could not have been avoided without materially retarding tae pro gres of the great work. Such deficiencies are supplied by all railroad companies alter the completion of the line, when and whereve experience shows them to be necessary. Tl7l report concludes by saying that " the countr has reason to congratulate itself that the great work of national importance is so rapidly ap proaching s completion under such favorable auspices." The company now have In use 137 locomotives and nearly 2,0131 cars of all de scriptions. A large additional equipment is ordered to be ready in the Spring. The grad ing nearly completed, and ties distributed for LO miles in advance of the western end of the track. Fully 120 miles of iron for new track are now delivered west of the Missouri River, and 00 miles more are en route. The total ex penditures for construction purposes in ad vance of the completed portion of the road 18 not less than eight million dollars. Besides a donation from the Government of 12,000 acres of land per mile, the Company is entitled to a subsidy In U. S. Boude on Its line as completed and accepted, at the average rate of about $20,000 per mile, according to the dlli mines encountered, for which the Govern ment takes a second lien as security. The Company have already received $22,158,0,0 of this subsidy, of which $1,200,000 was paid Dec. 6th. and 0010,0101 Dec. 10th. Government Aid—Security of thelßonds. By its charter, the Comp.tny Is permitted to Issue its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to the same amount as the Government Bonds, and no more. These Bonds are a First ;Mort gage upon the whole road and all its equip• ments.

The income from the great passenger travel, tile China Ireights,aud the supplies for the new Rocky Mountain States and Territories must be ample for all interest and other liabilities. No political ac tion can reduce the rate of Interest. It must remain for thirty years—sixper cent. per annum in gold, now equal to between eight and nine per cent. IS currency. The principal is then payable in gold. If a bond with such guaran tees were Issued by the Government, its mar ket price would not be lees than from 20 to 25 per cent. premium. As the bonds are issued under Government authority and supervision upon what is very largely a Government work they must ultimately approach Government prices.
