It is also recommenced that the track between Philadelphia and Columbia shall be relaid,in order to meet accession of b'usi ness necessarily incident to the completion ofjthe Pennsylvania Railroad. ! The Allegheny Portage Railroad was injured by the floods, to an extent requiring an estimateiex renditure of 9.4,500; and, from tl#e increase of business upon it, two new engines are deemed in dispensable, The increase of tonnage over 1346 is n 0,940,800 pounds. Five new setts of trucks have been put upon this road, and two morej are expected to be ready by the opening of naviga tion, in the spring,—which will increase tbe num ber from 17 to 24. The relaying of a ronsidera ble part of the track on the inclined planes is strenuously recommended. \ A considerable portion ot the report is occupied i by statements of the injuries done fc the public works by the floods of the last year f the state of progress made in their repair, and the cost, tejthe State, ol these repairs. All the works are ex ptcted to be in nperatioo by ihe latter end of fhis month, if the Legislature shall make the necessa ry appropriations. The total Cost of the repairs necessary upon tbe whole of the Stale works, is estimated at ?205,939 01. ' Hie Board urge the propriety of substituting slack water navigation, below Lewistown, for the present navigation through the Long Narrows— This is urged on the score of economy; and jibe alteration, it is presumed, would cost less tlian the amount which has been paid in a few yiars past, for the repairs of this part of the work.

Miswinislw in Isms.—We find it stated in the Jmencan i’/nemi/ogico/ JournU, that Mesmer ism is attracting more attention in India, at pre sent, in : any other part of the world. The government pas introduced it into their Medical College at Calcutta; and the stu lents are required to attend, the mesmeric hospital for two months, to Study, practical Mesmerism, under Dr. Esdaile, their receiving their appointments in the public service. Dr. Esdaile has, by order of Ibe Supreme lately issued a repprl of Mesmeric practice, plating to the power to render insensible under surgical opera tions. Ve says, that ol 130 cases, all but seven were rendered entirely insensible; and there were only two case? in which he failed to produce the Mesmeric slejp. He thinks Mesmerism will never be superceded by ether. (Cf’Sihcethe decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in relation to the claim of Mrs. Gen.

The children were dosed; the symptoms appeared; physicians were called in; and the canse discovered. One of the children, after suffering hours in the mos'fex cruciating agony, died, and was thus relieved of pain. The opium acted as an emetic upon the other, and was thus almost miraculously saved. Mr. Sargent, the druggist, we understand, ex plains the mistake in this way: Opium had been put up in accordance with a prescription, and lay upon the counter ; in (be confusion of making up the medicine for Mr Van Winkle, (the father of the children.) the wrung paper was taken. We make this statement m justice to the druggist. Slls’oi£ dj-It is seriously contemplated to organize an Industrial School, near this city..
