there has'been so much deception practiced,
but we can assure our citizens that the, com
panies which Major Mallly represents are
safe and reliable, and conducted by the most
substantial and responsible businens indri of the

ATTEMPT TO CARRY A FUGITIVE SL&VE BACK
TO SLAVERY—Two Respectable Ladies of Har
risburg Acting as Slave Banters.—We have
just had communicated to us the facts of
a.conspiracy to carry back to slavery a poor
defenceless female, who had been honestly
earning her living in this city for some time,
and who is regarded by all who know her, as
a decent and virtuous girl. It appears that
two sisters reached this city, some time ago,
as fugitive slaves from the State of Maryland.
They sought service and found it in respecta
ble families in the city. The gentleman with
whom the girl lived, who was thus attempted
to be abducted, has given us the main facts of
this outrageous case. He writes that the girl,
Martha Jones, was enticed by false pretences
to the residence of one of the ladies engaged
in this disgraceful affair, where she was locked
up in a room until train time—the object being
to carry her over the Cumberland Valley Rail
mad, back to slavery, in Maryland. Her sis
ter, in the meantime, found it out, when she
called at the house where Martha was held as
a captive, where she was informed by one of
the aforesaid ladies that she had gone up
street, but the truth was that Martha was con
fined in a room in the house aforesaid. When
these ladies imagined that the way was clear,
they conducted the trembling fugitive through
the alleys of Harrisburg, calculating to reach
the railroad just as the Cumberland Valley
train would start. In the meantime, however,
Martha's sister, with a number of friends, had
stationed themselves at the depot, waiting the
approach of the party of negro stealers. When
the ladies made their appearance with the
poor girl, Martha discovered her sister, who
at once interposed to prevent her from being
forced into the cars. The ladies (God save
the mark !) almost fought desperately to force
Martha on the train, but the poor girl strug
gled, her sister and her friends came gallantly
to the rescue, and slavery to-day, in Martha
Jones, is one less of its victims in this land of
the free.
We have barely given the facts of this case,
and these can be relied upon as aubatantially
true. If the proper officers are desirous of
pushing this matter to its proper end, we are
prepared to give the name of our informant,
and that informant is ready and willing to
_tes
tify against the ladies who thus stand charged
with having violated the fugitive slave law.
The circumstances connected with this case
are too outrageous—the parties who thus
boldly attempted to abduct this poor girl too
respectable not to have known what they
were about—and therefore we demand,. in
the name of Justice and the Right, Freedom
and Religion, that they be at once proceeded
;gated by the proper legal officers.

the death of_Benjamin F. Neff,., formerly of
Williamsburg, Blair county, is published in

A FREAK IN NATURE.—On the 12th ult., a
son of Mr. Samuel Koehler, of Hanover, says
the Allentown Democrat, killed a large rattle
snake, about as thick as a man's arm, which
on its dying throes brought forth twenty
yOung ones, measuring seven inches in length,
one of which had two distinct and well devel
oped heads, forming a fork in the rear of the
neck.
REFuouns.--The Wheeling Intelligencer bf
Monday says : Another lot of refugees fro=
the Valley arrived in the city yesterday en
route for Ohio. In all 800 families have bet an
shipped from the Valley at Government e.x

of them belong to the Society of Dunarth:
and being opposed to taking up arms they hay e

SUDDEN DEATH. —Mrs. Westheffer, wife of
Mr. John Westheffer, of Newville, Cumber

ironed afterwards. She then went up stairs,
as supposed, to do some chamber work, and
shortly after, her daughter, hearing a slight
noise, went up, and found her mother just ex
piring. A physician was hastily summoned,
but too late. Mrs. W. was dead before he
arrived. The pronounced the disease appo

NATURALIZING DISCRARGED SOLDIERS. --It
does not seem to be generally known that
in the year 180 an important amendment
was made to the naturalization laws of the
United States, by which an alien of the age
of twenty-one years and upwards, who had
enlisted, or might thereafter enlist in the ar
mies of the United States, either in the regu
lar or volunteer forces, may become a citizen
by virtue of his service. The act was passed
July 17, 1862. It secures to any alien who
has been a soldier and has been honorably dis
charged, the right of citizenship upon - his
own petition, without a previous declaration
of intentions. tre. must prove thlt he has
resided in the United States one year before
his application, and also prove his good moral
character in the ordinary manner, and must
also producoproof that he has-been honora
bly discharged. There are many aliens who
have beeri in service and Whose time has ex
pired, to whom this privilege will apply, and
it is as well that the terms of the law should
be generally understood.

How A. CAPTAIN WAS CONYEETPX.-At a so
cial gathering night before last, says the Chat
tanooga Gazette of October 13, during the
evening Capt. Sutherland, Assistant Adjutant
General, formerly of Gen. Steedman's staff,
captured daring Stoneman's raid, and recently
exchanged, was present, and was toasted, and
made a happy response. We regret that every
soldier in the army, 'and every patriot in the
land, could not have listened to his remarks.
Captain Sutherland, before his capture, was
well known as a warm and earnest 31'Clellan
man. In the remarks alluded to, he men
tioned this fact; said that he had changed
base in this particular. He was now for Lin
coln, because, during his imprisonment, his
'guards at Charleston, and every rebel he met,
with one exception, learning that he was a
Democrat, electioneered with him for if'Clel
lan. That exception stole an opportunity to
whisper in his ear that the South was only
holding out in hopes of Lincoln's defeat, and
assured hilt that if Lincoln was elected the
war would instantly end and unconditionally
cease, as the South would then see that re
eistance was no longer practicable. CaPtaire
Sutherland declares that he never could nor
never would vote for any man at the requeft
, of tamed traittom: • •
Item
The Last Act, and • the
Words of General BUDA.,
One of the Philadelphia papers gives the
following interesting account of the closing
scenes in the life of Gen. D. B. Dirney, who
died at his home is that city, a few days
11 ; 40 :
TUE LAST ACT OF LOYALTY
General Birney reached his home in this
city on the 11th instant, the day of the State
election ; and notwithstanding his extreme
physical prostration, he insisted upon being
taken to the polls and casting his vote in the
contest. To this point he was conveyed in
his carriage, and supported by two of his aids
who had accompanied him from the army, he
stepped up to the polls, and there deposited
his vote for the country that he had so long
and honorably served. How sublime the :et !
for even at that time the stamp of death wog
impressed upon the brow of the warrior.
=I
During the progress of the insidious _ual
ady which was th cause of the death of Gen.
Birney, he was frequently delirious. During
these moments, when reason was temporally
unseated, he constantly was under the hallu
cination that he was still in the field at the
head of the proud legions that he had lee so
often to 'victory. He was frequently heart to
exclaim by the anxious watchers at his )ed
side :—"Bring up the guns ;" "Advance on
the left ;" and other military orders, the
counterpart of those issued on the baLle
field. His last words spoken in the delirium
that preceded his death were, " Boys, lefep
;,amour eyes on the flag !" Thus the brave 301-
dier "kept the bird in his bosom" to his dyng
moment, and his final utterance will ring as
a battle-cry in the coming fight by the scarred
veterafts who loved their commander so wdl.

TOWN LOTS FOR, SAL
THE PHILADELPHIA AND ERIE LAND
CORPANY, chartered by an act of the Legialature
of Pennsylvania, otters for sale choice lots for dwellings
and business purposes In the above new towns on the
line of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad.
RENOVO has been selected as the site for the exten
sive shops for building and repairing the rolling stock of
the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad,•of which the Penna.
Railroad Company are now lessees. It is 92 miles west of
Sunbury, and 190 miles east of Erie. The town is beau
tifully situated on the margin of the west branch of the
Susquehanna river, in the county of Clinton, and. A sur
rounded by romantic and attractive scenery. The Rail
road Company are erecting an immense Locomotive
Round House, Repair Shops for Cars and Engines, Car
Building shop, Iron and Brass Furnaces, and Dwellings
for the Superintendent and other officers. A splendid
Rotel, with which are connected arrangements for feeding
passengers on the most extensive scale, has been com
menced. All these buildings are of the most permanent
and substantial character, of brick and iron, and are in
accordance with the immense business anticipated on the
completion of this great Railroad, so long anxiously
looked for, and now an accomplished fact—the last rait
connecting the Susquehanna river with Lake Erie having
been laid on Saturday, July 2d, 1804.
A Company has been chartered by the Legislature for
supplying the town with gas and water, and the scat r
werks are nearly completed. Churches will be erected
immediately. The situation of RENOVO is entirely
healthy, and as the dimensions of the town are limited
by nature, the value of the lots muse appreciate greatly
in the course of a few years.
EMPORICII will certainly bi the most important cow.
mercial point 'between Lock Haven and Warren, a ffis
lance of 158 miles. It is near the centre of the tunnel,
47 miles west of Rruovo; 139 miles from Sunbury and
149 miles from Erie It is near the Junction of the Drift
wood Branch of the Sinnemahoning, with West Creek,
Portage Creek and North Creek, the Valleys of which
streams make it the most accessible point on the Phila
delphia and Erie railroad to a very extensive district of
country. The moment the projected railroad connecting
it with the city of Rochester, N. Y., shall be completed,
few interior towns in the State will surpass it in business
capabilities. An excellent graded road now connects it
with Coudersport, thereat a Juatice of Patter county.
It !s alsa connected with Smethport, the seat of Justice of
McKean county.
.'Emporium is the County Seat of Cam
eron county; it has a handsome Court Rouse, and the
Land Company have just completed a large and commo
dious Hotel, which will immediately be opened to the
public. The Railroad Company are about to enct alum&
some and permanent Passsenger Station at a central point
near the Rotel and Court Brame. The place is healthy,
and excellent water is abundant. It is in the midst of
one oh the finest White Pine regions in Pennsylvania.
As a manufacturing town it has great advantages; coal,
lumber, stone, bark for tannerier am abundant, and its
railroad communications with the great lakes and all
points of importance in the seaboard are unsurpassed.
This place -was selected thirty years ago as a point of im
portance, and a town laid out with the prophetic name of
EMPORIUM, but the difficulty of access has prevented
Its development so entirely that it is mainly known for
the excellence Of hunting and trout fishing in the vicinity.
The completion of the. Philadephia and . Erie railroad
must soon make it a place of great importance as a distri
buting point for goods of all kinds, and it offers great
advantages for persons of moderate capital who desire
to identify theruseitres with the early history of a thriv
ing town.
Lithographic Maps of bath -towns are now ready, and
Mr. GIDEON J. BALL, General Supei intendent, will
furnish all necessary information on the promises, or by
letter.
He may be addressed to the care of H. P. HUTTER,
Secretary and Treasurer ; Philadelphia and Erie Land Com
pany, No. 2053; Walnut street Philadelphia, or at Renovo,
Clinton county, Pennsylvania.

A RARE CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY !
Valuable Oil Stocks for Sale
TO capitalists and others who wish a good,
safe and reliable paying investment : lam now of
fering a limited number of shares of the most valuable
Oil Stocks ever offered for sale in this country. The his
tory of the world scarcely affords an example of the
rapid rise of any article into general and commercial im
portance, as has been that of Petroleum. From a com
paratively limited homy traffic, it has sprung Into a vast
foreign trade, amounting percaps to $50,000,000 per an
num, and is only yet in its infancy. From twenty-five
cents per barrel, as it was a few years since, when thero
was little home consumption, and no export trade, it has
advanced to twenty doirars per barrel, with a foreign de
mand that cannot be supplied. That vast region presents
inexhaustible fountains of wealth that have so long been
hidden deep in the earth.
I am prepared to dispose of a limited number of shares
of Stack in the celebrated "BURNING SPRING OIL
COMPANY OF PENNSYLVANIA, with a capital
stock of $1,000,C001 vast territory of more than one
thousand two hundred acres of land, situated in the
midst of the most valuable and most productive oil regions
of Venango county, Pennsylvania, and the great Kana
wha Valley in West Virginia. Two (2) wells aro now
yielding largely and four others are being rapidly sunk.
I am also prepared to offer a certain number cf shares
in the .4 Rathbone Petroleum OR Company of.Pennviownia,
for sale. Capital Stock $500,000, par value $lO. 1 can
assure my friends that these are reliable companies, and
will rank first among the safest and best paying companies
in the country, opening, as they certainly will, a vast field
for substantial and permanent investment.
This stock will only be offered for a rew weeks, as I ex
pect to leave very soon for "Oil Dorado," to superintend
the operations of the company lu person. •
Descriptions of the land, together with full particulars
and all the information desired, will be given on applica
tion either in person or through the mails.
