PflOOCEEDlNGS OF THE SUPREME CofllT.
The Supreme Court, sitting at Pittsburg
on Thursday gave a decision, in an appeal
from the Common Pleas of Northumbeilaud,
w hich will reverse the pratice under the act
of. 18-19, commonly known as the 'Three
Hundred Dollar Law." Hilherio it has been
deemed sufficient to give notice to the
Sheriff, prior to a sale of personal properly,
that the benefit of the three hundred dollar
law would be claimed. After the sale, if the
propei ty sold brought $400, the defendant
received $300, and the creditors S100. Ac
cording to the decision, the law was passed
not for the benefit of the debtor, but of the
debtor's family. The debtor is bound to give
notice when a levy is made, that he intends
to claim the benefit of the exemption law
Appraisers must be appointed, and ha is
bound to select the article of furniture, &o
which he wishes to retain. If he suffers the
Sheriff to proceed to a sale he looses all share
of the proceeds, which enure to the benefit
of the creditors in the order ot Itieir liens.
A good orator is pointed and vehement.

ELMIRA RAIL ROAD.
Col. Carter of the Lycoming Democrat,
has (lie following in regard to the Williams-
port and Elmira Rail Road, which, when
finished, and connected with the roads ter
minating at this place, and now in pro
gress of construction, will divert an im
mense amount of travelling, now passing
over the New York and Erie Road, over
this route to Philadelphia and from thence
to New York.
A few weeks ago, negotiations were open
cn between two or three wealthy and public
spirited citizens of Elmira on the one part,
and tho bondholders of the United Stales
Bank on the other part. For a handsome
bonus some say fifty thousand dollars tho
bondholders have surrendered up the road,
with all ils attending rights and privileges, to
the Elmira oentlomen. Tho work of renewal
and extension will be commenced forthwith ;
and our readers may rest assured that in less
than eighteen" months a train of cars will
pis from Elmira to Williamsport over one of
the most substantially constructed roads in
tiio United Mates.
Now for the other railway connection mon-
tioncil in Ilia opening paragraph ol the nrti
clo. A private company are now actively
engaged in relaying the old and worn out road
from Sunbury to Shamokin, a distance, wo
tielieve, of some 19 miles. Ihe road will,
bo extended to Ashland, a distance of 13
miles, where it will intersect with Ihe exten
sion of the Mine Hill road, which con
nects with tho Reading Railroad. The
contractors are Mr. Richard McGrann and
Mr. Michael Barry, of Lancaster, gentlemen
ot untiring energy ol character, great expe
rienee, and extensive means ami credit.
On Tuesday last, we had tin old fashioned
talk with our old It lend. Mr. Harry, and he
positively assured us I lint Sunbury would be
in innway communication wnn me itcnuirig
road, before the lapse of eighteen months.
While these important licks are progres
sing towards completion, we cannot be made
lo believe that Ihe people of the West
Branch Valley will remain passive with clo
sed hands or folded arms. The surveys from
Lock Haven to Sunbury are nearly all com
plete ; and with proper encouragement and
proper co-operation, bur citizens will be pla
ced within u few hours ride of Philadelphia
within the next threo years. Come what
may, Williamsport will be placed within
fourteen hours lido of the city of New York
before tho 1st day of March, in tho year of
grace one thousand eight hundred and fifty
four. Mark the prediction '.
THE WHIG CONFEREES
Met at the house of Felix Lerch, on the
mountain, on Monday last, hut made no
nomination. David Tagart, Esq., of this
County and J. 11. Campbell, o! Schuylkill,
were the nominees of the respective Coun
ties, but they both declined. Mr. Camp
bell was present and stated as there was no
hopes of success lor a whig, in the district
he must decline the nomination.
We understand that Mr. Krebs of Schuyl
kill has come out as a volunteer candidate.
What his prospects of success are, in
Schuylkill county, we cannot say. He
has certainly but little to hope for in this
County. Col. Straub is said to be exceed
ingly popular in Schuylkill, and he is cer
tain to get not much less than one thou
sand majority in Northumberland county
K7 Cheat NEWsrAran Postage. Un-!
dcr the new Postage Law, which takes ef
fect on the first day of October, the Sun
bury American may be sent by mail upon
the following very favorble terms :
To any Tost Office in Northumberland
cuunly, postage free.
To any Post Office within the State of
Pennsylvania, for 3.1 cents a quarter, or 13
cents a year.
To any part of the United States, GJ
cents a quarter, or 2G cen's a year. v
These rates must he paid quarterly or
yearly in advance at thnPost Office where
the papers are mailed or delivered ; other
wise the Postage will be doubled.
ttJ" Mr. J. B. Reed, of Milton, requests
us to say that he oflers himself as a candi
date for the office ol Register and Recorder,
at the ensuing election.
0" POISONING. crj
Thousands of parents who use Ve-rmifnga
composed of Caster oil, Calomel, &c, are not
aware, that while they appear lo neneiu ine
patient, they are actually laying the founda
tions lor a series 01 tleseases, sucn as sanvn
tion, loss of sight, weakness of limbs, fcc.
In another column will be found the adver
tisement of Hobensack's Medicines, to which
we ask the attention of all direcily interested
in their own as well as Iheir Children's health.
In Liver Complaints nud all disorders arising
from those of n bilious type, should make
umi of the only genuine 'medicine, Hoben
sack's Liver Pills.
(7 "lh not deceived," but ask for Hoben
sack's Worm Syrup and Liver Pills, and ob
serve that each has the sisnature of the Pro
prietor, J. N. HOBENSACK, as none else are
genuine.

DyThe grading of Market street is
nearly completed. It is now as level as a
floor and will be quite an improvement.
EJ The Register in thiscounty requests
us to say, that he has received (he nesces-
ary books, and is now prepared to receive
certificates of births, deaths, and marriages,
for record.
ffj" More Aids. Gov. Bigler has ap
pointed two more aids in Dauphin county,
with the rank of Lieut. Colonel. What a
burlesque the thing has got to be within the
last few years. Who wouldn't be a Colonel
when titles are so cheap?
lO.NSOI.IDATIO.N Til KET.
We observe that the friends in favor of
consolidating the different districts of Phil
adelphia, have nominated a legislative tick
et. Our old friend Alexander Cummings,
Esq., of the Bulletin, has been nominated
by the County for the Senate, on this tick
et. Col. Cummings possesses all the requi
site qualifications for the office, and we
doubt whether the city could send a more
able and efficient representative. The
whole ticket is composed of men of char
acter and standing from all parties, and
will, no doubt, be warmly supported by
every Iriend of consolidation.
OLE HILL.
The Philadelphia Bulletin states that Ole
Hull, the renowned Norwegian Violinist
has purchased a large body of land in the
Western part ol this Stale, on which he is
about to establish a Colony of his country
men, the hardy adventurous people of Nor
way. The editor of the Lyconvng Demo
crat refering lo the above says :
The lands purcased are located on Kettle
Cicek, in Potter county, and before Ihe
elapse of many weeks they will be in the
occupancy of a colony of Norwenian emi
grants, ror richness of soil, salubrity of cli
mate, to say nothing of Ihe advantages of a
home market, the location cannot ba somas-
ed in any part of this broad State. This is
an important movement, and cannot fail to
exercise the most beneficial effects on the
risinc prospecls of the West Branch VhIIkv.
Ole Bull visited these lauds Inst week, mul
while there delighted, astonished, and bfiuil.
dered the hardy inhabitants of Kettle creek
with an extempore concert.
OI R CANDIDATE FOR rOXCSKESA.
By reference to the proceedings of the con
ference of this Congressional district, com
posed of tho enemies of Schuylkill nnd Nor
thumberland, it will be seen that the choice
of Schuylkill has been concurred in. Major
William L. Dkwart, the choice of Not
thumberland, was supported with a zeal and
singleness of purpose, that gave evidence of
his strong hold upon the democracy of that
county. His yielding at present is but the
postponement of the claims that were
brought to bear upon the conference, and
adhered to for so long a time with such un
wavering firmness.
We could not but admire the devoted
friendship exhibited for the Major through
out.
With his determination to cordially sup
port the nominee, we may confidently count
upon a good result in Old Northumberland.
The same may be said of Schuylkill. Here
no man has truer cr warmer friends than Col.
Strath. Even among his political oppo-
nents, many will he found who nie leady to
contribute to his election. Ho is the. ''Rough
and Ready" of this campaign, and never can
be mado surrender. In facl, there is no such
word as fail in his vocabulary. He always
conquers, and whoever his competitor may
be whether located in Schuylkill or Nor
thumberland a Waterloo defeat awaits him.
Mark the prediction.
His nomination has already so inspirited
tho rank and file of the people the toiling
millions, one of which he has always em
phatically been that dismay is visible in tho
countenances of our oppouanls
The proceedings of the conference show
that, while our conferees stuck tenaciously
to the old war-horse, Ihey were not indispo
sed to take a new man. They frequently
gave opportunities for the selecting of a third
person. This wc deem it proper to say, to
coriecl a wrong impression which has been
circulated by designing individuals. Major
Dkwart, however, very properly, when the
riht of Schuylkill to have the first candidate
was granted, showed his regard for the ex
pressed wishes of the democracy of l Ins
comity in falling upon their first choice. So
happy a termination of protracted labor, en
sures a united and enthusiastic suppoit of
Col. C. M. Ftiiai'B. He goes into the contest
with an unbroken front, and will come out
of it with victoiy parched upon his banner.
