Norristown and Allentown Railroad.
A meeting of the citizens of N'orristown,
friendly to the_ construction of the Norris
town and Allentown Railroad, was held at
the Court House, in said borough, on Mon
day evening, The 20th' fat., and notwith
standing the inclemency of .the weather, it
was verV large!), attended. On motion of
J. W. ItunSicker, Esq., the meeting was or
(mniZed by calling Hon. David Krause, to
the Chair, and appointing Lloyd Jones and
Washington Richards, Secretaries.
On motion' of B. M. Boyer, a committee
of ten was appointed to prepare resolutions
exprssive of the sense of the meeting.
The chair appointed the following gentle•
men said committee :-13.
ifh.'libyer, 1V m.
El. Slinglufl, J. R. Breitenbach, W. Scholl,
Rartranft, S. N. Rich, Robert Iredell,'
L.'E. Corson, of Norristown and H. C.
Longnecker and J,,.til. Line, of Allentown.
The Committee after retiring a short time
reported through their Chairman the follow
ing resolutions:
1. linsoLvitn, That the construction of a
railroad communication between Philadel
phia and AllentoWn, by way of Norristown,
is demanded, not only by the interests of the
three places here named, but by the imper
ative wants of the whole district of country
traversed 'by the proposed rant;. between,
Norristown and Allentown.
'2. RlF:sm.:l,T°, Theta lull survey of the
proposed road has demonstrated that it can
be made over a short rout, with lig htgrades
and easy curvatures, and at greatly less cost
than any other road front Philadelpfii t to
the valley of the Lehigh and that in these
respects it possesses advantages which - will
secure it against the successful cempetition
of any rival.
REsoLvnn, That the North Pennsyl
vania railroad Atoes no% possess the necessa
ry advantages of location to enable it to se
core the trade of the Lehigh valley ; but in
the absence of die new road which we ad..
voote the wealth of that region inUst. for
the most part, continue to fl I w onwards to
the city of New York all time hereafter.
4. R ttstiLvnn. That the Agricultural, Man..
ufaCidring and Mineral resources of the thick
ly populated country through which the road
proposed to be located fully warrant the
undertaking, and give certain assurance of
quick and, aiiiple remuneration for the corn
paltiively moderate investment which would
be required to complete the enterprise.
5. 'il:soLvED, That the inhabitants along
: the whole route of the projected road should
br.,aror!shd ton; fiense of the oil at interests
which they. have lit stake in the construction
of so important a chariot:l of business through
i n territory of such capacity for improvement
as theirs, wheit it could not fail to stimulate
enterprise and s.;;atler wealth and prosperity
along its entire track.
G. ^ licsoLvyn, That if Norristown be true
to her own interests she Wilf not remain in
different whilst this enterti'ei'na vital to her
future prosperity, is struggling 6;r . .th
coot hold
before the public ; but it has become the du
ty of ail her citizens who are prostO Of what
she is, and ambitious for what she May be
in future, to unite in their utmost endue 'lois
to promote the speedy achievement oCthe'
object which has brought this meeting togeth.:
er. NorristoWn has-done much for herself
in mak inn. use of the advantages which have
been placed in her way ; but site has as yet
done comparatively little through her own
efforts to create new avenues by Which trade
and the wealth of other regions could be
brought to her doors. Her citizens, absorb
ed in active private enterprises, have little
of their capital invested in the railroads we
already possess ; they Ought therefore to feel
more freedom and 4 stronger obligation to
subscribe lib'erally to the object now present
ed to their consideration, .ivitich, if accom
plished, could not fail to add greatly to the
prospelity and importance of our town. If
the subject be rightly appreciated it will be
plain to all that a railroad such as the one
!proposed will repay the citizens of 4 town
i like ours in many more ways than in divi
dends upon stock.
1 7. RESOLVED , That we feel a common in,
I wrest and a common pride in the continued
increase and prosperity of Philadelphia, and
we cordially desire the succrss of all useful
projects to pour into her lap the trade whOl
legitimately belongs to her, and of which no
I grasping comp titor call deprive her, if' he
1 hut continues the enlightened and energetic
policy which now animates her citizens to
rteb:e works. We therefore earnestly re.
commend to the attention of Philadelphians
the railroad which we think ought to be built
between Norristown and Allentown, and
t which would be another link in the connect-
I Mg chains of railroads which are destinedto
make the treasures of Pennsylvania forger
tributary to the greatneSS of her own me
tropolis. .

C ()MOUS Z EAL ESTATE SUIT.-A case
was tried in Vinlattelphiti, on the 19th Feb
ruary, involving the title of $B.llOO worth of
real estate, as follows ;—Jane Eliza Ander
son owned three sinn!l houses, at her death,
besides about foui or five thousand dollars
in money and peesonar property. She left
all her property, by will, to a youn g girl IS
years old. named Clareisa Febrine. It seems
that Jane Eliza carried on the tailoringbus
iness under the name of James E . .Fe:nine;
and Lode a great deal of money: - She dres
sed in men's clothes, and no ono knew she
was a woman until her death in 1852. She
had adopted the girl Clarissa—had brtiught
her up from n child, and called her niece.
Clarissa thought her to be her uncle. Wh t en
the facts came out, the heirs-at-law of Miss
Anderson claimed the property on the
ground that the will, being signed James E:
Febrine, was of no force. The Court deci
ded that the %%ill was good and valid ; and
that Ciaris . sa kt , ep the property. It
seems that this enterprising girl had earned
all the dash by her work. She had byOught

she could do ;letter az a man than as a

,CAPITAL FOR THE iIOVNG.-.V is a cense
lation'for all right iiiinded young men o.this
country that though they may not be able to
command as much pecuniary capital as they
would wish to commence - busitiegs them
selves. Yet there is a moral capital which
they can have, thin will weigh as in9Ch as
money with those people whose opinion is
worth having. And it does not take a great
while to accumulate a respectable amount
of capital. It consiks'in trial', honesty, and
integrity, to which may be added decision,
firmness, courime and perieverance. 'With
these qual ities.rhere larefew obstacles which
cannot be overcome. Friends spring up
arid'surround such a young man almost as
if by magic. Confidence flows out to him
and he can ask it. And in a few short
years such'a yriurig man is far in advimce of
many, who started with him, •having equal
talents, and large pecuniary means ; ere
long our young friend stands forernost; the
honored, trusted, and loved. Would that
we could induce every youthful reader to
commence life on the principal that moral
capital is the thing alter all:
