May 3 I, 1SS0. There was quite an excitement in town one day limt week over the dis covery of a baby's log in a pile of old bmies at the Tanning Company's bone mill. The leg was apparently cut oir with some sharp Instrument just above the knee and wa still in a fair state of preservation. How tho lc;r came there, what had become of (he rest of the body and was it really a murder or not was a profound mystery which all tried to solve In their own way. The Doctor was of the opinion that the baby was six mouths or n year old and thought an inquest should be held at once. Vhile others hooted at the idea and thought it would be a ridicu lous farce for six men to sit on a baby's leg and perhaps the baby still alive. Some proposed to put it in a box puck it nicely with cotton and have it de cently buried while others with ap parently less humanity said the body had undoubtedly gono through the bone mill and they might just as well pitch in the leg and let it all go to gelber. The company has been get ting bones front Warren, Sheffield, Titusvillc and other places, so it Is impossible to tell whence it came. The leg was on exhibition one whole day and scores of excited people went to view the the wonderful mystery. Some perfectly horror struck at the thought of so dark a deed as the kill ing of a poor littleinuocent baby while others would laughingly pass on and make some jocular remark about the baby's leg in a box. Any one hav ing lost a baby or a buby'slegor wishing further information relative to thi" dark ami mjvterious affair can write to Judson Schultz, Ezra Rohue or Dr. Straight who will cheerfully give all Information in their power.

The beggar and millionaire to be tried and sen tenced Impartially and without pre judice as to theone's rags or the other's line linen, was an itlea that struck the hearts of the common people as being a innovation on the usual man ner of dip rising justice that, like the little leaven that leavened the whole loaf, might in time enter our temples of justice until in time equal and exact justice should be the rule and not tho exception. Throughout the length and breadth of our fair rotate the people rejoiced at the righteous ness of the sentence and tho beautiful ei'i'eet its faithful carrying out would have on the rascals wlit infest the seats and lobbies of our state legisla' tore, feervilo newspapers, however at once began to wait and lament that the sentence was too severe and the punishment excessive, for the simple rcaMJU we suppose that the men en gaged in the pleasant and lucrative occupation of bribing legislators had so long escaped punishment that cus tom in a manner sanctioned the enormous crime. , lit justice, however, to the common people we will state that they btill abided by the ilrst. im pulse that if there was nn excess in any direction' it was in the amount of crime over the punishment, an I that bad Judge Pearson being a tridu more severe the bribers would no mure than have hud their just deserts.

Also, how vain and transient the delusion. After a short private session thcB.i.ird recommend ed that the imp.isoniuent of one year he remitted.

Comment is un necessary although that beautiful vis ion of "a heggar in rags and million aire in broadcloth" getting even jus tice lias vanished but it will be ix long time before the people forget that by some means or other impris onment of millionaires is playid out and that this action of the Board of Pardons btill fun her oilers a premium to the wealthy tr.iuress.ir.

A number of gentlemen interested in the building of what is to be known as the "New York, Ridgway & Pitts burgh Railroad," which Is to run through Western Pennsylvania hell a conference in Philadelphia last Sat urday. A temporary organization was formed by the election of Mr Charles R. Earley as President and ex Governor Andrew G. Cui'tin. Win. M. Stewart, (of B. K Jamison & Co.,i Eugene Qtiackcubush and Sboridau Gorton as Directors, und Lucius Rog ers as Secretary. The new road is to be built from a point near Tionesta, in Forest County to Ridgway, in Elk county, thus con necting the Allegheny Valley and the New York and Erie railroads. This new enterprise only involves the con. at ruction of fifty miles of railroad, and when it is completed will secure a beeline from Pitt-burgh to Buffalo. The present movement isa reorgaiiiza ion of the Northern Railroad and Navigation Company, incorporated by the Pennsylvania 'Legislature in 1S'J7, and afterward known as the Pennsylvania portion of the Rochester Nil huh fc Pennsylvania railroad. The new company is legally possessed, alter due sale under execution, of all the rights, franchises and properly oi the original company. The frasi chisesureextrenieSy vuluab!c,thoug!: it !s understood that it is the present intention to only use that portion of them authorizing the building of the road referred to. The oiglnal com pany had several acts passed in its in terest and till will doubtless be found valuable sooner or later. The iirst to organize the Northern railroad imrl Navigation company was approved March 21, lsc.7, and gave power to construct a railroad from the state line at or near where it is crossed by the Allegheny river in McKean county to the Bouiheru line of Elk county, ami to connect with tho Philadelphia & Erie, Allegheny Valley or any other railroa i an I to construct such branch es in tries counties as tu ty be deemed necessary. This act also gives the companies power to use the slack water of the Allegheny canal und to con struct a canal in McKoan county. It also authorized tne company to bor row l,-3'J'J,t'0 J at a rate not to exceed seven per cent, by mortgage on its "works, laud t;nd franchises." By an uct approved April 'JlU, 1372, the com pany was authorized to Issue addit ional bond to the amount of l,'iOO,(MJ at a rate of interest not exceeding eight per cent. A supplementary net to that by which the company hud been incorporated was pasje I in April 107, !or the purpose of giving corpor ations merging and connecting pow ers with New Yolk, railroads. This act authorized the Northern R iilro.td and Navigation Company to connect tit the New Vork Stale line with any railroad and canal in New Ym-n state ii li-l to merge und consolidate its slucii franchises und property, with that o. any other company in tne stale ot New YorK. Tne company nm having built their road and coniu ctams in tne preseribed lime, tinir charter became void had not Goveriter icury, in March, 1H70, ttpui'oveil an act which extended the liinc lor commencing the work for three years from the lir.-.t day of April, 1870. For some years past this work, which had progressed so lur us to grade six miles of the proposed road, lias been at a standstill. Under the pri-M.nl management, it will lie pushed to completion as rapidly as possible Tiie totiiKCiioii wiil n.tt'.te Ihe dis tance by rail between Builliio and Pittsburgh lilty miles shorter. Mr C.
