Bright. Rockefeller & Seasholtz, of this place, for the purpose of carrying lime and limestone, has been completed, and the limestone quar ries have been opened. The projectors of this Improvement deserve great credit for their enterprise in developing the limestone quarries of Point, and we trust their invest ments fftll provo as profitable as they are advantageous to the community. SFTlie experimental surveys of the Mid die Creek Railway, under a charter which authorizes the construction of a railway from Lcwistown, on the Pennsylvania rail road, to the cast bank of the Susquehanna, at any point between Port Trcvorton and Northumberland, have been so far comple ted by F. C. Arms, Esq., as to show that several lines are well and favorably adapted for this new route. The distance from Lew. istown to Selinsgrove, by the southern route, is about 43 miles to that place, and about 48 to Suubury. The more northern route from Middlt-burg, which strikes the Susque hanna about one and a half miles above 8clinsgrove, makes the distance to Suubury only 40 miles. The charter makes Selins grove apoiiit. The grading is of the most favorable character. The abundance ot iron and iron ore on the Juniatta, which will be exchanged tor the coal of Shamokin, will make it not only a proCtable road, but one of great importance to our coal region and the great iron and agricultural interests on the route. Mr. Anns is now engaged in making other surveys near Lewistown. EifPRoeREssiNo Backward. We un dcrstond the Town Council have passed a resolution prohibiting the publication of their proceedings. We trust there is some mistake in this matter. We can hardly be neve, that in this enlightened age, any representative uody would undertake to cover up their proceedings, and prevent the people, w ho have a right to know what they are doing, from criticising their actions or conduct. In the cities of Philadelphia and New York, Councils are compelled by law to publish their proceedings, and pay the cost of pubHcntioc. This is done for the protection and safety of the community. In this place we publish the proceedings gratis, and we con dardly believe that any intelli gent member of the Council would support a proposition characteristic of the darkest ages of despotism. The mere offer of such proposition by Congress, or in the State Legislature, would create a revolution. OfDcIal Itelnrns or the Late Klrctlon. IIarrisburg, Oct. 30.

I It is very rarely that wo feel inclined to call tba attention of cur readers to any ol the 'gilt' arrange ments with which our Daoers have latelv been flood ed ; hut Ibis scheme; of what ne may call tbe Crosby Art I'nion, is so largely and generously conceived, as well as so handsomely and unequivocally indorsed by the leading eitisens of Chicago, that we unhesita tingly cive it our cordial approval. The cost of Ibo Opera House was $600,000, and the individuals who are disposed to purchase such a property, at guch a price, aie raio, even when iu accompanying stores, offices ,and studies rent for So,0u0. What in this ease was to be done? Mr. Crosby, or tboso who may be associated with him. are sagacious men. They originated this "art association; so broadly and liberally arranged it can scarcely fail of insuring itself a posiiiv success. In th first place they oiler to every subscriber, not alone a share in th Opera House, with the chance of ultimately becoming it sole proprietor, but a possibility of obtaining also o'.ber very valuable premiums. These consist of iiiersiaoi great painting, "Tho Yo Semite Valley;" Croiwey1 '-American Autumn :" achusseel's nation. al wotk, "Irving and his Friends;" aa well as w.u-k oy an icaniag artists ol tbe country. The first seven are in actual value $1-1,1100. That ibis a positively genuiue ofier no doubt can exist, as tbo ariuts give it their unhesitating and cordial approval. Under any eirc uuislanee this ought to guarantee its purity of intention ; but when each a serin of prominent vmacus oi toe n eeiera metropolis permit Mr. Crosby to use melr names in bu advruacmnia a n,mr " aivu iMiiD, sucu a guarantee is immeasurably strrngtheoed. At th sum time we may call th attention of tb timidlv sneaulative tn tha ri ih.t ..r j .... i r . . every purchases of a share receive an engraving of uluuh ui Taiae oi me money wmcn He nas paid.

THE AMERICAN JEWELERS' ASSOCIATION calls your attention to the (net of its being the lar gest and most popular Jowelry Association in tne United States. The business is and always has been conducted in the most candid and honorable man ner. Our rapidly increasing trade is a sure guaran tee of the appreciation ot our patrons fur Ibis method of ohtnining rich, elegant and cosily goods. The sudden stngnntion of trade in Europe, owing to the late Uertnan War and recent disastrous financial crisis in England, has caused Ihe failure of a large number of Jewelry Houses in London and fans, obliging them to sell their goods at a great anoritke, in some instances less than one-third the co-t of manufacturing. We bavo lately purchased very largely of these Bankrupt Goods, at such extremely low prices, that we can afford to send away Finer Goods and give better chance to draw the moss valuable prises than any other establishment doing a similar business. OUR AIM IS TO PLEASE, and we respectiully solicit your patronage, as we nio confident of giving the utmost satisfaction. During the past year we have forwarded a number of the most valuable prises to all parts of the country. Tho'O who patronize us will receive the full valuo of Iheir money, as no article on our list is worth li-ss than One Dollar, retail, and there are no tlunks. Parties dealing wilh us may depend on having prompt returns, and the article drawn will be hu uiediately sont to any address by return mall or express. , The lollowing parties have recently drawn valua ble prises from the American Jwelers' Association, and have kindly allowed the use of their namos : j Charles J.
