Judge Wilkins then stated that the committee
bad prepared resolutions to offer to the meeting,
but requested if any gentleman had any to Mier.
the meeting would be happy to receive them.—
None being offered the following were read by
him, and open vote taken, were unanimously a
dopted.
Whereas, experience has prceed that, although
the public improvements of our own state are ad
mirably adapted to the trans ' mrtation of merchan
dise and produce between the Ooio and Atlantic.
and afford a more economical crimmutlication
than any other, yet the inconvenience and delay
tesulting from the long duration of the ice and
the late period at which they become pls.alile in
the spring, render it hishly important that some
means of communication shnn!d be ndepted
which can be made available for the conveiance
ssf-palsengers and light mcrehandize throughout
the year.
The extensittin of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road to Cumberland during the last three years
has evinced a degree of energy and pers.'s-ranee
highly honorable, as well to the Presidiyht and
Managers of tie- company, as to the citizens of
Baltimore through whose enterprize and liberality
the sequisite funds had been procured; white its
completion to Pittsburgh would furnish the most
effectual remedy for the inconveniences a tied ant
upon canal transportation.
Therefore, resolved, That the extensian of the
Bellmore and Ohio rail road to the town ofCurn
berlond has given new interest and direction to a
large portion of the travelline. the trade and the
transportation between the Western waters and
• the Atlantic cities, and produced a dee r impres
sion of the importance and immediate necessity of
forming a connection with that great work by a
similar road to be commenced at Pittsburgh and
carried eastward by the most eligible route to
'Connelsville on the Youghiogeny river.
,Resoised, That the more expedient and advisa
ble plan; for the present time, would be to form a
_ separate and independent company, to be incote o
pined under the law four Commonwealth, ror
the construction of a single iron railway from
Pittsburgh to Cormellsville, in Fayette co., 'Lion
the line above indicated, and which may hereafter
be connected, or united, with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company as policy and expediency
- may dictate, and upon terms mutually advantages
GUS to the two companies.
ResOlVed, That fir the purpose of carryiess in
to-execution the above projected improvement.
already by the example arid experience of a few
months, so obviously demanded for the protec
tion of our trade, commerce, manufactures, and
intercourse - teeth the east and west, we pledge
ourselves to exert our best effarts to call into ac•
tient all the resources and energies of the cities
of Pittsburgh ar d Allegheny and the adjacent and
surrounding county.
Resolved, That a committee consisting of
many of our citizens and embracing their differ
ent interest+ be appointed, to whom shall be con..
Ided the energetic pursuit and persecution of the
Itonteimplated enterprize; hereby giving to that
committee the following power.

4ee First Page.
The first number of the Spirit of the
Age, contains an ori final tale, with the
somewhat I epulsive title of the "Maniac."
It is rather a curious affair; sufficiently ab..
surd and incongruous to be the story of one
who had not much "method in his aid..
ness," but after reading the tale, we do not
find that the hero is half as well entitled to
the character of a madmen, R 3 many we o.eet
with in our daily wa'ks. lithe writer had
made Charles Putnam start a paper on
the credit system, with the expectati )n of
being paid at the "end of the year," it
would have been a much better evidence
of insanity than permitting hint to kill his
friends. As the world goes now. murder
ers are becoming respectable charalters in
society, but the poor devils who publish
newspapers bn credit, if they do not
come inmates of Lunatic Asylums, have
very Fair prospects of being provided with
lodgings in the county prisons, which a.
mounts to about the same thing.
The Charleston Courier of the 10th inst
gives an interesting account of the distri
buthn of a number of premiums of the
Apprentices' Library Society. The ap
prentices had striven for the palm of ex..
cellence in their several professions, and
to the most skilful in each branch, was
awarded a silver medal.
We have often heard it remarked that
Pittsburgh is twenty years behind the age
;n literary and other associations for the
advancement of knowledge; and the above
statement, when held in contrast with the
cuudithn of apprentices here, is we think
conclusive evidence that such is the fact.—
It has been attributed to the grasping, sv
crieiou spirit of our population, whether
with justice or not we cannot say, but one
thing is certain that a change would be to
the advantage of all, even in a pecuniary
point ofyies. Who can calculate - the bene
fits to. be derived by masters from such an
institu.rion as ttse Apprenlicea Library So
ci-ty of 1 - hp:4e:on!. Thp . trifliog expitm.
to each that - would be incurred in coma
mencing it, would be repaid in a very
short time; and the benefits. bestowed up
on young men who are now, many of them
growing up mere loafers, would in the
view of all benevolent men, be a desirable
object to accomplish.
John Louis Grille is on tria: in the Uni

New Drama.—A new diama has been
brought out in New York, called tha 'Vier•

einother Earthquake.— Letters from
the West Indies states that there were
shocks of an earthquake in that region, on
the 11th and 13th ult. It was not known
that any damago was done.
Brough, the singer, has given a very
successful and b:i liant Conceit at New
Orleans, and was going to Natchez to
"take leave of the stage," in the same ap.
proved fashion.
More Algerine Tyranny.—Tne Provi
dence Express states that a Mr. Hazard,
who keeps a stable in Cove street, Provi
dence, turned his son nut of doors on Wed
nesday evening last, fur votirg the demo.-
cratic ticked Such a man hardly deserves
the comfort of a child in his old age, but
he is to be pittiei for the load of shame
he has thus heaped upon his awn head.
The Court of Carroll county, fkld., ads
journrd on Saturday last, a man named
Ub diah Gray, was sentenced to the pen
tentiary for 14 years for horse stealing.
Freshet in the Potomac.—The Cumber
land Civillian of yesterday states that on
Sunday last the Potomac ruse to a height
sufficient for allowing a number of keel
boats and gondolas to depart with coal.—
We expect the rain within a day or tvio
past has raised the river much higher.
• Land slide.—There was a slide at one
of the cuts on the Reading Railroad, on
Tuesday night, by which perhaps 10,000
tons of rock and eaitli were deposited on
the trttk.
A resilu:toti his passed the common

Jut a d ,y or two ago, we noticed the de.
struction of s veral stables by fire, in that.
town, atrl by the last Hagerstown papers
we see that on Tuesday night abut 11
o'clock the stables of Mr. Ftederielt Sener
and Samuel Zeller, were destroyed.—
These make seven stables burnt in that
town within'the week.
Too early a visit—The blue birds,
which the pleasant weather a few weeks
ago brought into ttie region of Westchester,
were faind frozen in great numbers after
the late cold spell.
The S , eretary of the Navy has author
ized the construction of a schooner cf war,

An unpleasant altercation occurred in
the Circuit Court at Washington, on Mon-
day, between his honor Judge Thurston,
on the bench, and Col. William L. Brent,
attorney, while the latter was arguing a
case. His honor, Judge Cranch,
diately adjnuried the court, and intimated
that he wool.] advert to the sullject uteome

Brooklin is following in their train.
A gentleman of that city who has inhers
i•ed a farm near the terminus of the West
ern Avenue, is now having it laid off into
eligible house lots, and an opportunity wilt
be given to obtain building sites, in a neigh•
borhuod where unwillinagess to sell on the

an insuperable objection to improvement.
The Rochester Democrat states that the
manufactures of New England last year
used over two hundred thousand barrels of
flour, in making starch and sizing for their
gneds--being a larger quantity of flour than
was exported to England in the same time.
The manufacturers of the single State of
Massachusetts, during the same time, con
sumed more Western flour than was ex
ported to all foreign countries ! It is not
clearly the interest of the farmers of th e
west to fowler manufactures !
Honesty of Women. —A New Orleans
paper says, that soon after the Treasurerl
of Mississippi fled, his wife called on the
Governor of the State and delivered $96,-
000 in gold and Treasury rotes, with A
parcel containing State Bonds. Here i s
another instance of the superior honesty of
the gentler sex—doubtless that wife pet
suaded the dishonest man, for the sake of
bib family's reputation, to leave his booty

Suicidc.—The Lowell Courier says,
some boys who were out'gun,ning on Tues
day, discovered near' the new burying

Perpetual Motion.—An English paper
says that a '•perpetual motion" apparatus

to supercede steam machinery, and may
be app ied to clucks, which will need no

Messrs. Eigtors—€l have beea acne
what surprised' 0r late in common- with
my fellow citizens, at the late open disre
spect of the public will as manifested by
out City coutwils, in again flooding our
City with a new batch of shinplasters, and
hive come to the conclusion with others
Who entertain the same opinion on this
subject es myse'f, of instituting suit on ev
ery note issued by the city that may come
into my har,ds of a less denomination than
five dollars. This course I believe to be
a proper °ill and one which shall be ful -
lowed by all good citizens who wish to
see their laws respected and their violation
promptly punished. By the act of April
12th 183$, "It is enacted that from and af
ter the 1-t of January next, any and every
person, and persons, and body corporate,
snaking, issuing, or paying, and passing,
exchanging or transferring or causing to
be made issued of transferred, paid away

same, or that it will be received in pay•
ment of any debt or demand, or that the

other half to be for the use •3f the over

fence -hall have been committed." The
fourth section of this act makes the draw•
er and acceptor of any such note, and ev
ery person who shall in any way endorse
or put his name upon the same, liable to
pay the principal sum expressed therein,
together with interest thereon, at the rate
of twenty per cent. per annum from the
time such note was first issued. Such
then being the law respecting this matter,
I say that it !s the duty of all our citi
zens and more particularly of the mem•
bers of the City ciuncils, who have taken
oath to respect it •while acting in their offi
cial capacities, to see that it is kept invi
olate and not wittingly to disregard it and
aid itslinfringemt nt, as a certain member
of the water cammittee is known to have
done, who was discovered on last Satura
day evening.with his usual "cunning and
((drollness" taking advantage of the shades
of night to early up a large bundle uF
blank shinplasters in order to have them
signed previous to us 11111 ng them off on
the community. Let then every good
citizen and respecter of the laws irranaelli
' ately upon receiving any of this vile trash
repair to au Alderman's office and institute
suit against the corpoiation or against any
whom he may know to have aided in put
ting it in circulation. The penalty is five
dollars, of e+ich the person brinfing suit
ie entitled to one half. John Sheriff the
Cha•rman of the WatOy Committee, is
known to have aided in Putting these notes,
in circulation as lie was seen taking a
large bundle of them from the Mayor's of
fire in the shades of evor ing. to have them
signed by the Clerk of the Select Council,
and is therefore liable foe the penalty int=
posed upon this issue. As it would not
he proper tlfen to bring suit against the
City, since the innocent citizens. (the great
majority - of whim are decidedly opposed
In this open violation of the law,) would
have to suffer for the acts of the gnilty.—
Ltt proceedings he instituted against this
man Sheriff, and let the May r, the Nlay.
ors's Clerk, and Alex. Mihar Esq. be sub
pna.naed to testify as to the part which
her di* took in putting these notes in cir
culation, and judgment against. him, must

N. B. These notes are mostly dated

Never within the pale of our recollec
tion have we been called upon to record
an outrage, in its character, so gross, in—
human and attrocious, as at present. Just
as our paper was going to press, our town
was thrown into the most intense excite
ment from the fact, that a most diabolical
murder had been committed almost within
precints, in open day; and the perpe
ti stars have thas far escaped the most vig
ilant efrirts of our citizens and pi rice to
detect them. The victims of this hellish
act, are an Cid gentleman by the name of
Parthemore and his wife, the former aged
72 and the last. t 59 years, and residing
about two miles from town. - This`mot n.
ing about 7 o'clock, the son, an only child,
left home for the purpose of bringing to
this place some produce to dispose of.—
On his return, about 11 o'clock, he found
his father and mother laying upon the floor,
murdered in the most brutal manner, hav
ing their _abul!s completely broken in with
some blunt instrument, supposed to be a
piece ,offire'vvood. No cause as yet has
been discovered which
as
prompt the
act, but fi lthy lucre, as Mr. P. was gener.
ally presumed to he wealthy, and to have' .
corisi&rable money in his possession.
It may also be proper to state, that it
has been the custom of Mr. P. to turn loose
the cattle from the stable every morning '
between the hours of S and 6, and the
young man' in returning home found
them in and about the barn-yard, so that
the act must have berpetrated some lime
after he left home. Various rumors are
in circulation as to the probable author or
authors, but we forbear to give thew as
they are too va l ve and indefinite
