MISSING.—A friend in Reading township
informs, us that Auninsm Tcumi, of that
neighborhood, has been ,missing since thelast
day, of Pecember, 'and that serious apprehen
sionS for his safety are entertained. Being of
intemperate habits, it is feared that he perish

the neighborhood was hunted over, but with
out finding him. The snow drifts, however,
preveated a thorough 'search.

TIIE RAILRO.O.—In passing Meng a
part of the line of the Railroad; the' other
day, we were struck with the handsome
progress. made in the grading and hridging,,
and p trticularly so when taking the character
of the :work into consideration. It is much
l►eavler than we hal any idea of. The road,
however, has been carefully located - , and the
work is being well done.• The - bridges es
pecially are objects of complimentary remark.
-The whole, we think, reflects much credit
upon the.eontrae-torg,3l4 , :srs.lßAVlN &TAYLUR.
SINGULAR.—On Yesterday morning a
week, four Sheep were found imbedded in a
now-drift near Ileidlersburg, three of theM
:dive and one dead. The Sheep must have
been there ever since the snow storm of Jan.
18 —a priod of three weeks. The only thing
upon which they could have subsisted was
the moss on some stones, and the hark of a
Nvliite-oak tree, by tho side of which they lay.
