General Manager of the Company's Road ,
and mines, is a recognition of the past
services of a faithful and efficient officer
of the Company. . In our judgment no,'
better selection could have been made fur
the position, and we take this occasion to
congratulate Mr. B. on Lis deserved pro
motion, And the Stockliolders of the Com
pany oil their excellent selection of a man
for the position.
The - continuance of Mr. BALDW . IN as
Secretary, is also a deserved compliment
to a faithful and efficient officer.
It is but simple justice to the retiring
officers to say, that they have managed
a.m.:affairs of the Company in the past as
successfully as could have been expected,
considering
_the expeiience through which
the road hut been compelled to pasS dur
ing the years of general tipsiness depres
sion, which, we trust, have now happily
gone, and thatthe affairs of the Company
are in asilood condition as' they are, is
due to their
untiring energy and excellent
business management.

from three to nine.
They . use POrt Henry, N. Y. ore, and

which are sold all over this region and in
Now York and Philadelphia.
About ninety men aro employed doing
work by the piece, thus givisg to each a
reward according to his skill. About ono
thousand dollars per week is paid for la

This Company has a similar faefory at
Milton, Northumberland county, where
they employ upwards of Oa hundred and
sixty men. Them are several gentlemen
in the firm, and .if those we met, Mr.
Bostloy and Mr. Randall, are fair repre

THE LEST OF FAMILY BIBLES.
The Rev. Dr. A. Stereetary
of the American Bible Society, recently
remarked that in spate of the great num
ber of Bibles annually sold in the United
States, -there are not half enough Bibles
published. There are thoosonds of homes
in our broad land in which not a single
copy of the Sacred ScrOures . is to be
found.
Appreciating this .greai need, Messrs.
PHILLIPS 45.7. HUNT, of /05 Broadway,
New York, have issued este of the most
;attractive and superb eillitionts of the
Bible ever published, and with the liber-.
:silty that has elan acterized all, their enter
prises have issued it in theinost elegant
styles of binding, and at prices which
bring it within the reach of every family.
Tothe text of the Bib l e is added a
series of remarkable and unusually at-.
tractive features which muter this edithou
invaluable to every Christ‘in household.
Foremost among these is Dr. SMITH . : ,
Dictionary or the Bible, which is admit
ted by all detlolllillath.llB to be the best
Bible Dictionary ever published. We
have next a series of 'succinct and care
fully prepared accounts of the various re
ligious denominations of the world, their
history and teachings. The Life of the
Saviour and the Lives of the Apostles
are brought forward prominently, and in
such a,manner as to be of great service to
every reader of the New Tat:nent. The
Wanderings in the IVildemese, and- the
Tabernacle and Tenlple are critically-IMO
admirably described. A soles of Scrip
ture illuitrations affords eumprehensive
explanations of the Mannersand Customs
of the Ancients, of Biblical Antiquities,
Sceuery, Natural History, tic. The City
of therusalem is also descriVd with great
minweness. Th e n follow alaroo number
of chronological and other valuable tables,
designed to promote and facilitate the'
study of the Sacred ScriPures. These'
tables ale so numerous that we have not
the space to name - them.
• The book is magnifleenly illustrated
with superb engravings by the'. great
attest. vs - rAvs: Dont., and with a large
number of exquisite sted engravings.
(If course in a faintly Bible nueh depends
upon the illustrations, and 'he publishers
of" -this volume have their
Bible with a taste and liberality that de
set V 43 the highest praise. The additional
matter contains over 2,51)(1 beautiful en
, graviugs, executed in the lighest tle of
the gs i art. These engraviu are g muiue
-wot ks of art, and were rtade at a cost of
over The great number and
high character of these tneraving:s make
this the most valuable :tit publication
the century.
The Family Ilecold cad Marriage Cer
tificate are beautiful specimens of litho
graphing, and at the close of the vol
ume is a handsome Photogiaph Album,
with room for sixteen portraits, a very
desirable ftatnre in a work of this kind.
Et cry intelligent per son knows that the
excellence of the bindme of a book de
-I.ends upon its neatness and dm ability.
A Bible may Le showily boiled, and yet
put together so flimsily that it will come
to pieces in a few years. Although cov
ered iiith showy stamps and apparently
well bound, the work net; bellow in such
a loose and unsubstantial manner that
with only ordinary hamilbg the Bible will
crack and finally fall ti pieces. This
Bible is made upon a very different plan.
Only the best materials are used in its
manufaCture, and all the nook is dime by
the best of workmen and .he most highly
improved machinery. E. - cry stage of the
' stork is carefully super.-sed.' it would
be impossible to devise a system by which
greater ea re ; epmld tie givei to the manu
facture of a book, or by cinch the inter
ests of subscribers could k. more careful
ly guarded. The publislers realize the
tact that a family Bible nay be subjected
to very hard usage, anti must be humid
substantiallyms well haidsomely. They
are !published in German also.
We cordially comme3d this magnificent
Bible to our readers. It is a shame that
any Christian househokl should be with
out a Firmly Bible, ani we commend this
one as the most compete and the cheap
est in the market. It is sold by sulps'n ip
tiUn only, and Mr. Maur Mix. who is
the mttleirized agent lor this section, i s
now canvassing for it.
MR. Mix, of this tlace; who is the
agent
,for the work in tsis section, is 'well
klitivn, no doubt, to the most of our read
ers, and needs no commendation at our .
bands. as to reliability and trathfultess.
Ile will cheerfully to IN; house, or
business place, of all those who notify
him itersonally, or by nail, of their de
'sire to examine the bock, a copy for their
examination.

REoriEtit it will be remembered acted as

concluding clause which is the recapitu

I now recapitulate the facts of the re

a reconnoissance of the Ninth Branch id
the river Susquehanna Inuit Nalitieidc
dam to a point at or near the New Yolk
State line, with permission to make other_
suggestitins legitimately growing out of
the subject.
1. From Nanticoke dam to the State
line, lie distance is about 11 7 mileS,
which about one hundred miles are alrea
dy navigable, but are interrupted by rip
ples, the aggregate length of which some
what exceeds twelve, miles, which have
been estimated. These ripples, I believe,
can be corrected, and a doutimMus navi
gation of at least two feet, and perhaps
three feet, in minumun depth, can be'es
tablished for the gross sum of $,:',.'50,000.
