Passengers from Philadelphia (by way

can then leave there in the morning at 71
o'clock, and reach Sunbury by 6 o'clock the

ladelphia in the morning, and reach Sunbury,
by way of Ilarrisbuig, after midnight. Thin
additional facilly for traveling to the Susque
hanna, at the Junction of the north and went

tifying news to your nnmeroua cily friends
who hare occasion to visit that delightful
section of the State, either on busines or a
trip of pleasure.
Mount Carmel hai recently been luid out
into a town, corering some 200 acres, and a
rasl number of improvements, that must
draw hither a busy and thrifty population,
ore already in progress. Beside being a de
pot and starting point, for tome time to come,
of the Philadelphia and Sunbury railroad, it
is the place of connection for the new road
about being constructed by the Coal Run Im
prorement and Railroad Company, to con'
nect the roads of the Philadelphia and Sun
bury Company with the Cattawiesa road,
and which is destined to giro an outlet for
the coal of this region, by railroad to New
York, without inclnedi planes, in the short
distance of 130 miles. Coal can also be sent
from here down to the Susquehanna and to
the Lakes, when the Sunbury and William
sport road is completed, by the way of the
Philadelphia and Sunbury road, and to Phila
delphia by the way of the Mine Hill Exten
sion of their road to Ashland
About 100 houses are under contract in
this vicinity, by the Locust Mountain Coal
and Iron Co., and by the Coal Run Improve
ment and Railroad Company. Of the former
John Anspach Jr., of your city, an enlerpri
sing and weulihy meichant, i the President)
and of the latter, C. A. Walbern,' Esq., an
active member of your City Councils, is the
presiding officer. The first named Company,
the Locust Mountain is a Coal and Iron Com
pany, with 6250 acres of the best of the coal
land of this region, all underlaid with coal,
and having four district coal basins, will
run of five and a half miles in length upon
all the veins, some of which, to wit, the
mnmmoth and jugular, are respectively 30
and 40 feet in thickness. The Coal Run is
an Improvement and Railroad Company
naving about 200 acres of thfl same quality
ot coal Jam; with the Locust Mountain, and
a railroad, when completed, of about 12
miles in length
Both of these Companies are making ex
tensive arrangements, that coal may be sent
from their lands the ensuing fall. The Lo
cust Mountain Is opening three collieries, and
the Coal Run two, to be leased to tenants.

Murder bv a Baptist Preacher. -The
following is copied from the Raleigh (N. C.)
Register, a secular Journal. It is a horrible
transaction. Letters were received here last
week from Hyde, Tyrell and Beaufort coun
ties, stating that Washington Carroway,
citizen of Hyde county, some fifty years of
age, and many years a Baptist preacher,
lately, on some frivolous pretext, knocked
his wife down with a chair, and then seized a
large stick and continued to beat her, until a
man named Lassiter who was boarding in
ihe house interfered to prevent her beinf
murdered. Whereupon Carroway look bis
gun to shoot Lassiter ; but he disarmed him
and left the house. A few days afterwards
Lassiter chanced to go by the house, which
stood near the publio road, when Carroway,
eeing him pass, toot his gun and ran through
his field to cut him off, aud overtaking him
in the Savannah, shot him dead; then took
his victim and carried him aome half mile
into the swamp, threw him, face down,
into the mud, aud stamped him below Ihe
. urface of the mud, covered him over with
brush, then run off, made bit escape from
me county, and eluded pursuit. He had
been married three times, and has children

RAIL ROAD TO NEW YORK.
Ia (bit sgc of rail road progress, it it
sometime! difficult to keep ourselves potted
up with the various improvements projected
and to contemplation.
One of our most important improvements,
not onljr in contemplation, but already pro
jected, it tbe construction of a rail road
from a point on the Philadelphia and Sun
bury rail roud, at Mt. Carmel, 2tf miles
from Sunbury, extending about ten miles
through our finest coal region, over almost
level ground, to ill intersection with the
Catlawiisa road, eighteen miles from Ta
maqiiR, making the distance from this place
to New York 160 milet. The object it to
tupply New York with a superior Ant lira,
cite coal, from the inexhaustible mi net ol
the Shamokin coal region. It will alto
become a pleasant route for pattengert,
travelling to New York.
Lcwbkr Yard. We refer our readers to the
advertisement of Mr. J. E. Leib, who has opened
a lumber yard in this place. We are heartily
glad that Mr. Leib has gone into thit enterprise,
as a regular lumber yard wat much wanted in
8unluty Mr. Leib hat already a large stock of
lumber on hand, which he offers at reasonable
prices.
Columbia Hocus, Priladi. This favorite
stopping place with many of the Susquehanna
tplas, has passed into new hands, as will be seen
by the card of Messrs. Slaymsker cV Haslett, the
new proprietors. Mr. Slaymaker has been some
Tears, the superintendent of this Hotel, and has
had the experience of many years in some of the
best Hotels in the city! Under the new proprie-
tors, the Columbia House with its pleasant and
convenient location, cannot fail in being liberally
patronised.
Daockhreottpics. We refer our readers to
the advertisement of Messrs. Collins Daguerreo
typists, No. 100 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.
The Messrs. Collinshave an excellent reputation
at trtists, snd have' had long experience in this
business.

erson Bcnnct, published by T. B. Peterson No,
99 Chestnut fit., Philadelphia. We have not
had time to read it, but the Bulletin aays :
"The scene of this interesting romance lies in
Texas, before or during the late war with Mexico.
It is written with a good deal of spirit; it abounds
in stirring incidents and adventuret, has a good
love-plot interwoven with it, and is in many
respects a faithful representation of Life in the
Far South-West. Mr. Bennet is destined to
Kreat popularity, especially at the South and
West His publisher has issued this book in a
very handsome style.
Tat Farm Journal for May is an excellent
number. We are glad to see that this Journal is
growing into popular favor. It is in good hands,
men who are able as well as capable of making
It a valuable organ of the farmer.
GoDti s Ladt's Book. The June Number
of this popular periodical has come to hand, and
is well filled with choice reading matter. It
completes the twenty-third year ol the Lady's
Book long enough to attest the value of any
publication. One of the most interesting features
of the work (to the ladies) is the colored Fashion
Plate. Its character may be judged from its con'
tents for this month, which comprises twiitt-
rivE engravings and out Bin drib pages of let

a most efficient member of the corps edito

We know nothing about hit successful
competitor, but thit we know, that with

O" The Lancaster town clock wat put
up in 1781. at a cost of .550. Since that
time the clock hat been cleaned twice, and
with the eiceplion of new weight roppt
hat never cost the county one cent for
repairs.
K7" GAt and Water. The good people
of Williamsport are taking into serious
consideration the propriety of erecting gat
workt in their town, and alto the introduc
tion of water from the pure mountain
stream on the opposite eii'.e of the Susque
hanna. Thit it all very desirable, but a
big undertaking, for a comparatively small
town. Our Williamsport friendt have a
good deal of enterprise and mettle, but
itil! they should be careful, and not take
too great a stride, lest they might rent
their unmentionables.

wealth it entitled to receive from all the outstanding taxes on the fust of January, m:
the expiration of Youngman' term , . ,
By account "A" it appears that accounting to the Commonwealth for the arnouiit reccit.
by Gulick of the taxes previous to 1845, and all taxes assessed us '46 and '47, and ,
moneys received for the Slate from unseated lands, an.l making allowance for the prop,
credit, ihe Slate wat overpaid on Stale tax the sum of 766 07 ; and he Con.mo;lweai
wat overpaid for Tavern licenses, and Retailers licensee, and Pamphlet Ls i lor I817
but there were balances in favor of the Commonwealth for Retailers license of 46, fcrnithi
fines of '46 & '47. Those balnncps set o(T aeainst each other exhibit an overpayment t0 it,
Commowealth, in Ihe years '46 & '47, of S67 20. We therefore report that, after nsyj,,
in full to the Comsnonwealih all taxes and dues for '46 & '47, there is coming lo the Count
from the Commonwealth $697 20. The account "B" exhibits 111 the tame manner a state
ment for the year '48 and '49, during Simpson't term, and .lisclos a balance duo 1'
Commonwealth, from all sources for those years, ihe sum of $1,302 03. W e therein
port that for those yean there it duo iho Commonwealth, subject to the balances in
of the county, for the years '46 and '47, Ihe sum of 51,302 03 Irom Ihe outstanding r
those years. And by statement "B," which in like manner accounts to the Cornmr
for all her dues for the years '50 and '51, it appears there is a balance duo the
wealth from the outstanding taxet for those years of $2,983 09 and wo lucrcioie ipP
that balance 11 due the Commonwealth from outstanding taxes. Those balance! put i(.Rl
Iher exhibit that ihe Commonwealth is yet entitled tn receive from till Ihe outstatidin
taxes the sum of 83,587 !)24, as per the following statement :
Due the Commonwealth for 1848 and M9, 81,302 03
'50 and '51, 2,983 09 J
4,285 121
Deduct due the county for '46 nnd '47, 097 20
Balance the Commonwealth is entitle to receive from outslnnd--
ing taxes, . S3i587 924
We therefore report that on the payment lo the Commonwealth of the said rum of S3,M
924, all taxes and other dues, except outstanding militia fines, will be fully paid and a
counted for to her to the 11 Januaiy, 1852.
The remut of thn Ci.nntv Audiloi for 1851. states the amount of outstanding taxes for 1
previous years at the sum of 85,940 784, and appears lo represent that Iho wbole of thnt
due the Commonwealth. But the foregoing statement it appear that only the sum of $3.5!
924 i HiiHihR Cnmmr.nwalth. beincr a difference ill fHVor of the county of S2 352 8fi -
That the Commonwealth is not entitled lo all the Slate tax outstanding on the 1st of Jai
852, is accounted foi by the faets exhibited by the statements herewith annexed, that
Gulick's term nearly 81,600 more than was received from the Jslale tax and other isa
dues, were paid lo the Commonwealth from county funds; and also by the fact that
Gulick' and Simpson's terms money was borrowed from the Bank of Nmihumberlatid, a:
pplied in payment of the State tax, before Ihe same whs collected. Dining the teims
imDson and Youncman less of the Commonwealth money was paid to her than was 1
ceived from her taxes and olher dues, but purl was ued for county pmpiws, as may
seen by the annexed statement. During those last two tetms, pan 01 ine money pain ire
county funds and borrowed from the Bank, was replaced, but not all, and the Commc
wealth is not entitled to all ol the taxes outstanding on January mi, ioj.. j ne u.uan
f 83,587 92i above stated as due the Commonwealth trom the outsianding taxes does r
include the outstanding militia fines. We report that the sum ol 51,578 54 is nil the 0
standing militia fines on the 1st of January, 1852, and, subject to all exonerations an J oil
redits, is due Ihe Commonwealth.
From Ihe statements marked D, E, F, and G, H, I, it will appear that there are Lalam
n the hands of the above named TrenMirers. Incase those balances are paid it nvA
iltle difference whether paid to Stale or County, for Ihe State being entitled to recei
83,587 924 from all her sources of revenue in ihe county, in full satisfaction theicof (exo
outstanding njililia fines) for Ihe years '46, '47, '48, '49, '50, and ;51, and if the recei'
hose balances, that sum due Ihe commonweann wouiu oe unnini-iuu mai iinimnn. 1
n ihe event of loss, it mav berome important. We have therelnre prepared Hie iiecoin
nying statements, maiked D, E, F, G. II, 1, so a to exhibit the amounts received in r;
and expended in cah for ihe Stale mid county respectively, from which statemeivs it
pears, that the Male leceived lor 184U and more. 11 an was rereiveo uy uiu nenirei
her funds. We therefore report the balance in the hands of Wm. Gulick ns jy rly
longing lo the county,. nnd payable lor county purposes. But for '48 and '. 19, 'SO and '
the amounts received fiom Stale funds were not all paid over to her. We lepoit thai
balances in Iho hands of Simpson and Youngman properly belong to iho Mate, and pnjt
for State purposes. But whatever amount of said balances is paid to the Coniinonuea
the same will be a credit from Ihe sum of $3,587 924, reported above as due the Cumni
wealth.
The statement D, wiih William Guliek respecting county matters, exhibits a balance
from him to the county of 31,982 56. But Ihe one respeeling Stale lumls, marke.l E.
hibilt nn over payment by him lo the stale of $1,598 18, the difference between l!no
ances. viz, ihe sum of 8384 38, is the sum that remained in his hands ut the time le
out of office. We therefore report that ihete is due from Ihe estate of William Gulick,
sum of Ihrce hundred and eighty-lour dollars ami Itwty-eiglil ceius.
The statements F, G, wiih Jesse M. Simpson, shew a balance of 2,266 67 due iho S
from the cash received by him, and a balance of 82,181 894 from the county to him

The statements II, I, with George B. Youngman exhibit a balance of S921 184 from
cash received by him due the Commonwealth, and a balance of $ 587 15 from the count
him, for cash paid by him fur county purposes. The difference be'lwecn those sums ii
