The South Pcnnsy vania will be one of the most expensive railroads ever built in this country, the cause being the mountainous nature of the country through which the line runs. More than six miles of the road between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh are under ground. The survey cost $:00,000 and thus far (he construction has cost $1,C00,0(0. It will not be the great road that was first projected. The immense expenditure re quired for a double-track line induced the capitalists at the head of the enterprise to drop to a single track, and to make other im portant modifications ol the original plans.

The powerful and eloquent sermons of Elder A. P.

The meeting will continue over the present wek. The Pennsylvania railroad company has renewed its contract with the Pullman Tal- ace Car Company, with the exception of the parlor caf service. The railroad company will run its own parlor cars in the future and their construction is now in progress at the Altoona shops. The first of those com pleted, seven in number, will be turned out this week. They cost $17,000 each, are lighted by electricity, heated by improved methods, and are said to be the handsomest cars of the kind ever made. A50THEB PeIVATE'-BaSK GOES I'lCPER. Between eight and 'nine o'clock Thursday morning a notice was posted on the door of M. W. Keim it Co.'s bank, in Johnstown, annonn-ing that the bans bad snspenuea payment. The firm had always been con sidered jicrfectly safe, and the announce ment of its suspension created a great flurry and excitement among the citizens of Johns town. It is kaid that the failure is due their inability to collect or realize on outstanding accounts and securities, and failure of par ties to pay up promptly. The institution was established in 1S72 with a cash capital of $10,00 and has always done a good busi ness, the depositors being mostly country people throuchout Cambria county, and the northern end of Somerset county. Mr. Keim makes the nsual claim that in time all his crrditors will be paid dollar for dollar. Marriage Bells. Among the many pleasant occurrences that have recently transpired in our town was the wedding of Mr. Henry S, Stoner, ot Lincoln, Neb., to Miss Anna, daughter of Mr. Daniel Crouse, The ceremony took place at the residence of the bride's parents, in Lavansville, on Wed nesday evening, March IS, and was witnessed by a large number of relatives and friends. According to previous arrange ments the invited guests assembled at the residence of Mr. C. at 6 o'clock. At the ap- pjinted time, 7 P. h., the bride and groom made their appearance in the arlor, when Rev. J. H. Penning, pastor of the M. E. Church, arose and impressively rendered the marriage ceremony, and Rev. Weakly, of Berlin, invoked the benediction upon the newly-wedded couple. Arter having utter ed the vows that made them one, Mr. and Mrs. Stoner received from the guests all the good wishes that could emanate from loving b carts, while at the same time their kindly feelings toward the happy pair were made more substantially manifest in the display of valuable presents contributed. At half- pa&t seven o'clock a bounteous repast was served in the dining room, which was bear- ily partaken of and eDjoyed by alL The presents, which were displayed for the gratification of the assembled guests, were numerous, elegant and costly, and were selected with rare good taste, souvenirs of the happy event, the recollections of which will form many pleasing reflections long years hereafter. The newly-wedded couple left the next morning for Berlin to visit the groom's parents, after w hich they will take their departure for Lincoln, Neb., their future home. Mr- S toner is an exceed? ingly pleasant gentleman, and the bride he has borne away was one of out most esteem ed ladies, one who has been a favorite ever since budding into womanhood. Their TrssKLS.

This tundel is to be 800 feet long. The cold weather brought work on several of the tunnels practically to a stand still by freezing the water courses on the mountain sides, thus cutting off the supply reauired bv the comnres9ors. n iVith all her other troubles in Egypt, I and Ireland, and Asia old England has also been passing through a serious agricul tural crisis, in which the ancient proverbial expression, "as good as wheat," lost its force, for the price of that commodity touch ed.the lowest point it has reached in the life of this generation. What brought bn the crisis, what were its effects, and what reme dies have been proposed, are questions that concern the American almost as much as the Englishman, whether he be a producer or a consumer of wheat; and they are very ably and clearly discussed in an artie'e by William E. Baer ; editor of the Mark Lane Express, in the North American Review for April. In the same number, Charles Dud ley Warner presents an interesting "Study of Prison Management," while Robert Bu chanan, the English poet, discusses "'Free Thought in America," T. V. Fowderly "The Army of the Discontented," and Prof. Hunt "How to Reform English Spelling." The other articles are : 'The Law's Delay," by Chief-Justice Thomas F. Harris," and 'Characteristics of Persian Poetry," by A. R. Spoffbrd. But what will probably attract the most immediate attention in this num ber is the department of "comments," con sisting of brief criticisms of art ioles that have appeared in the Review. Murat Halsted's political article in the March number is here discussed by three writers a Democrat, a straight Republican and an Independent Re publican. Richard n. Stoddard comments with a good deal of feeling on Max Muller's "Buddhist Charity," and other correspon dents take this pleasant opportunity to offer a single thought where an extended article would, perhaps, find neither room nor read ers. fcte, li ibT 1U" MrtM(y'. net. j multitnde of friends wish Ibem; happy, Respecfully, Cook 4 Beebits.

Colonel Milton Stewart, a tormer Somer set boy, was on the 13th inst.. elected De partment Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic of Kansas and Fort Scott. The following high tribute to bis personal worth are taken from the Fctfe, a daily pa per published at W ichita, Kausas. I n speak ing of his candidacy the Eaule says ; "While it may not be just in place for a political pa per to say anything tending to influence men in such a contest, we feel that the del egates will excuse the Eagle for speaking a good word for a man so universally esteem ed and admired by the people of bis home city as is Col. Milton Stewart. If a single fault can be attributed to him as as individ ualand the time was when such a lack would have rather been named as a virtue than a fault it is his extreme diffidence and modesty when it conies to any personal preferment or honor. In all matters pertain ing to the public welfare to society, civic and religious, few men can be found more earnest or active. For others he is ever ready to do, for himself ever modest and un pretending. As to his record as a soldier, one whose sterling worth and , unflinching bravery carried him from the ranks to the second in command of his regiment, his comrades in convention at Fort 8cott,to-day will probably need no enlightenment. His cause nor bis character will be wanting in warm advocates and admirers. As to any opposition for whatever cause or from what ever source, it ean in no way attack his character as a citizen or bis record as a sol dier. If he is not honored it wiI be be cause of no lack of merit or support from those who know the man." After bis election the same paper says: "Most heartily do we congratulate the "boys in blue," of Kansas, upon the choice made by them of their department commander in the person of our fellow townsman, Col. Mil ton Stewart. Of the seven men who were candidates for a majority oC the seven hun dred rote cast, CoL Stewart was the young est. In the list of candidates appeared the names of ex -Gov. Ceo, T. Anthony, Major Wiseman and General Taylor, so that Gar held Post, and the friendly posts of this and adjoining counties, who warmly seconded the candidacy of CoL Stewart may well plume themselves upon a great victory." Col. Stewart is a brother of Mrs. H. F. Schell, and is well known to many of oar citizens and readers. - - . Harwsbcro, Pa., March 21, 1865. From Our Ktgular Corrtiponient, The Senate met on Monday evening and passed a resolution requesting the Governor to designate a day as " Arbor Day " and by proclamation invite school children, and others, to plant trees on thut day ; read sev eral bills on first reading, and passed every one. ; -In the House on that evening the scene was quite different, as the resolution placing upon the calendar the act for the placing underground all telegraphic, telephonic and electric light wires was called up. Rear don, of Philadelphia, attempted to discuss the impossibility of the plan of placing wires underground, but failed most inglori ously, as be yery plainly showed to all that he knew more about ward politics than he did about electricity. The aisles and lob bies were filled to overflowing, and scores packed about the main entrance, all eager and anxious to tee whether the bill would get on the calendar, as it is rumored that the Western Union and Bell Telephone Companies have expended thousands to have it neeatived in committee, but as easily as those companies seem to have swayed the committee they could do nothing whatever with the House, and after a nearly all-night session the bill was placed cm the calendar by a handsome majority. There may have been a time in the history of our State when corruption did run riot in our legislatures, but I believe we now have men of more moral stamina and ability to make our State's laws than in the days that are past. The House has passed finally an act to regulate the admission of attorneys and counsellors at law, to practice in the several courts of this Commonwealth. This law provides that any attorney who has been ad mitted to any court of common pleas in this State, and also to the Supreme Court, can, by motion simply, be admitted to prac tice in any court in this commonwealth. also passed finally an act relating to the transfer of orders and decrees for the pay ment of money for the purpose of lien and executions into other counties than those where they were originally rendered. Mr. Stevenson called up on final psssage his pet act to extend the minimum school term to six months. After a great deal had been said about this "noble Common wealth" and its "progressive and intelli gent citizens " who were praying for the en actment of this law, Mr. Colborn, in a vig orous and warlike manner, told the House that his constituency were praying a differ ent prayer ; Sponslor, of Perry, bore a like testimony, as did several others, and the bill was completely knocked out of time. The Senate has passed finally the Senato rial Apportionment Bill framed and intro duced by Senator Longenecker. The Dem ocrats tried every way in their power to corner Senator Longenecker, who had charge of the bill, but the Senator was equal to every emergency and by his mas terly handling of his opponents gave evi dence of the able manner in which he had studied the bill in his charge. On Tuesday night the House was filled to its utmost capacity to hear Mrs. Mary H Hunt in her lecture on " Scientific Temper ance Instruction,' and her reply to the li belous reports concerning her connection with a book relating to this subject She held her audience for over an hour and half as she ably and eloquently discussed the entire subject, answering promptly and clearly every interrogatory put to her, and showing so plainly that a vote for this measure was a vote for progress and civili zation, a vote against it was a vote against future generations, that she converted number of members to her way of thinking. On Wednesday, before the bill came up for a vote, the petitions praying for its enactment came pouring in so rapidly that Speaker jro tern Colborn (Speaker Graham being sick. and away), bad to have them presented to the Chair in sections ; the House seemed flooded with them, while the lobby was tilled with women, true, noble-hearted wo men, wi oe most earnest desire seemed to be to raise the world from all that is low and groveling, and their touching appeals, tear- ful eyes, and earnest pleadings, brought around those! members whom Mrs. Hunt could not convert with her eloquence. The bill passed, with only seven votes against it, and .one ol those otes was that of an ex- Methodist preacher, Horne, from Cambria county. On Thursday the Senate did nothing but filibuster over the Bullit bill, and so pre vented any legislation whatever from being done. In the Honse the RosineHomeappropria- tion bill came up, and received a broadside from Mr. Colborn, of Somerset, and was thereby prevented from passing, but another effort will be made to pass it when every Philadelphian is present. It is outrageous, the way in winch the money of the State is expended, and the apparent reckless man ner in which the revenues of the State have been appropriated by the Appropriation Committee. The bills already favorably acted upon by the Committee appropriate almost four millions of dollars, and the end has not yet been readied. If the gentlemen who constitute that Committee have any judgment whatever, they must know that the State Treasury can stand no such drain as that. Why, one is led to think that over half our populotion is lame, halt, blind, crazy, deaf, dumb or feeble-minded, and that squads of this kind of people have been gathered together in different parts of the State under the name of Home, Hospital or Asylum, and the people at large are asked to appropriate fabulous sums to these insti tutions, to enrich the officers of them. It is to be feared that this liberal Com;-jttee will do something desperate by appropri ating the Susquehanna river, or the Gover nor himself. The following is the Congressional Ap portionment Bill adopted by the Republican Senators, which will be somewhat mutila ted by the House, and vetoed by his excel lency, the accidental reform executive : The first six districts Philadelphia. The second, (Mr. Randall's district) is un changed. Seventh Bucks and Montgomery. Eighth Chester and Delaware. Ninth Lancaster. Tenth Carbon, Wayne, Fike, Monroe and Northampton.

From the many comments ot . the aDDearanoe of the rennsylTapi a mi litia at the inacsnral, we selo t the following : From the Washington National Tribune In all Washington on Laa agora tion Day there was no old soldier whose heart did not beat mac h fast er at the sight of the magnifice nt Na- tioual Uaard or rennsymiu . mere were mucn aoowier -organi zations in the long column. There were companies and regitments wmch wore all the colors of th e rain bow, which shone. in rich 'yellow and flamed with crimson. Go Id and silver and burnished brass hashed in the sunshine, and at a little dis tance the avenue looked like some gigantic kaleidoscope, as the masses of gaudy colors shifted, changed and intermingled in tne coarse ol the evolutions. It was omt thing that feasted the eye precisely as the fire works did in the evening. The butterfly independent corps awoke no other feeling than that of admiration of brilliant spectacular effect Quite another feeling swelled the heart at the sight of the o,(XX) Nation al Guardsmen, clad in the severely eimple service uniform of the U. S. Army. It was the grand old blue the blue which millions of patriots had consecrated to loyalty and hon or on a thousand well-fought fields, and the men wore it as heroes have worn it wherever there were enemies to meet and duty to be done As a real soldierly exhibition it was perfect Every man and officer wore the regulation uniform, and ex actly as prescribed by the regula tions. Everybody was in his place, everybody was paying strict atten tion to bis orders, and every move ment was executed as it was 20 years ago, when soldiering had be come the business of men's lives. At the head, and in the rear of bis chief, rode Major-General Jebn F. Hartranft, looking every inch the grand soldier that he ia. Behind him was a full staff, and then came Erig.-Gen. Siegfried at the head of the Third Brigade, with hve splen did regiments and a battery. Next came the Second Brigade, five regiments, a battery and a troop of cavalry. At its1 head rode, with his significant crutch strapped to his saddle, the gallant old veteran, Gen. James A. Beaver, whose body is maimed all over with rebel lead. He was enthusiastically applauded whenever recognized. The First Brigade, Gen. Snowden commanding, brought up the rear with four regiments, a battalion and a battery. It added not a little to the effect in the eyes of old soldiers that the brigades were distinguished as the divisions used to be by badges of the National colors. Every mem ber of the First Brigade wore a red keystone on his cap ; every officer and man of the Second Brigade a white keystone, and of the Third a blue one. So complete was the organization, drill and equipments of the column that, had the occasion demanded, it could have been led out on the hills beyond the city, and into battle, with no other preparation than to pile knapsacks and draw ammunition. It was the finest military exhibi tion seen in Washington since the Armies of the Potomac and the Tennessee marched up Pennsylvania Avenue in lSOo. A Heavy -Weight Township. Weightstowx, March 13.
