In the present unsettled stalo of tlie minds

nect itui wfi't Pittsburgh, no mnnifi ctly shown at

the public view onolher route to connect with
'hit city, which wag Inst night of at the meeting,
lint when, no doubt will receive serious atten

is ciiMtt'innliiind to convenn, in order to arrive

by no ti.rig!it arid very intelligent engineer of
this city, and hi report sl.owa tlut the Alle- j

that we join with tho capability of reaching

In the month af August last a boy of about j
11 years of age, the son or one of our citizens,
wus visiting in the country. Ashe wascros
sin;;n li.'M a dog puisued him as an intruder
upon his master's premises, and the boy being
hlarmed ran for some distance, the dog chasing
and baling fiercely. At length as the dog
was witlnii h f.-w tPi t of him the boy stumbled
nn.1 fell down a bank and broke his leg. The
ptje.r feiio was of course terribly alarmed, the
ilirjt-i iil liiirliing at hirn aii he lay helpless at
h;s f.-et. Hut the instant the dog perceived
I
t'nt the cliihl was hurt, he returned towird
his Master's house and by his voice and actions
convinced the family that something was wrong,
finally, after having tried in vain to quiet the
dog, they followed him till they found the child
crying for help, but at sued a distance from any
housu that he cuuld never have made himself
heard. Had it not been fur the kindness of the
dog, his enemy, the Uy would have fainted
there, or would have attempted to crawl away,
in which case he would doubtless have destroy
ed his limb.
Tli remarkable feature in this case is that
tho tttspou linn of the dog was ao suddenly
changed. Wo often read of dogs mnk ng simi

children to whom they are attached, but this is

(T7Ni.w Aivi.i:tiri.:mfvis Our read. -rs will
find in our columns this week, a number of I'l.i-
bulelpbia advertisements, well worthy of the
attent ion of dealers. As a penerul rule, "those
who advertise, generally have something worth
showing.
Ry the advertisement of Samuel 1'art & Co , it
will be seen that they keep an n!mnt unlimited
variety of articles in their line, useful as well as
ornamental.
Mr. G. II. Moore keeps an extensive assort
ment of staple dry goods at 2') south 2d stnt t
His goods are. we know, of the best style and
quality in Philadelphia.
Mr. John C. Parr, 112 Chesnnt stieet, has al
most every thing that can be desired, in bis line,
at the lowest prices.
Mr. C. J. Tyndale, keeps an extensive assort
ment of Air tight and other Stoves on hand .Mr.
Tyndale was the first authorized agent for tho Air
tight Stoves in rhilailelplra.
Mr. Joseph Y. Jones, keeps on band the most
extensive assortment of Looking (Jlasses and
fancy articles in the city. His establishment is
worth a visit fiotn dealers.
Among others we must not forget our old
friend J. 11. Stryker, who keeps a most extensive ;
assortment of cheap and valuable dry goods at
1,18 present locution, as will be i-eeii iu his adver- I
tisement.
K7 The excitement incident to our elections,
has entirely subsided. The su-cessfi candidates
look cheerful, but enjoy their victory with hu
mility and without any vain boastings, while the
slisappointed content themselves with that trite,
philosophic apothegm. that- it cn't be helped.''
and like Jacob Paithl'ul, hope for 'belter luck
next time " Our new Sheriff. Mr. Rillirgton, is
more quiet since he is in Jail, tliari we baveever
I known him to W, before. That be will make a
good officer we hae no doubt. Mr. Vndling,
our new Commissioner, this week entered upon
the duties of his office. He is well qualified for
the situation, and will no doubt make a careful,
attentive officer. Mr. Parnsworlh, our Proth'y,
has always sustained the chniai-tcr ot an honest
and industrious man. and will, we are assured,
use every exertion to discbai je the ilutien of his
office satisfactorily. Our Register and Reconler,
Mr. Oyster, is well known a a highly cajtable
and efficient officer. Our member I'- Y. Uright,
we have spoken of before. The people were
evidently satisfied with his previous tooise, and
therefore re-elected him. a they had an undoubt
ed right to do, as freemen and democrats.
Our Coroner, Mr. Yordy, is an in.lusti mus and
intelligent farmer, and will, when occasion ic
quires it, be able to di-chaige bis duties j ioinpt
ly. Our Auditor, Mr. Rixler, is al-o a re.p l ia
ble and capable man. Our 1 le.i-un i, Mr. lie

gave bun gieat advalitaees in the distuo ti .1 state
j of the parties at the recent election. That he
will make an honest and faithful olfcer, Mi one
who knows him, can douht.
Ppoll the whole, the demociacy of the county
umns some pretended bug-bear that has been
hatched in Sunbnry for their destruction. The
editors of the Miltouian have certainly a much
lets exalted opinion of the intelligence of the
Poiks than we have, if they suppose they can
gull them with such nonsense. Their arliu led
sympathy is, we presume, perfectly understood,
and will 110 ih, nl, t rt. pioperly appreciated by

Pifinr days t.iTr.R from I'.t.noi-it The news
from Pnglatid is 'highly important. The affairs in
I'nglanit are aprroacbing a crisis that must soon
developp itself. There has been, it is said, a rup
ture bet ween Wellington and Peel. Wellington
is for putting down the repeal movement by
force. Peel is in favor of milder measures and al
so in favor of repealing the corn laws. We con
dense the following from the papers :
There das been no improvement in the pros
pect of tl,e baivcst, and the trade in wheat has
hi cn active ; not only the previous established
advance l as been maintained, but a further rise
in pric s has t:iken place at many of the nun kets
At Liverpool, the Corn market exhibited the
same f-nture of excitement which X'ted for
n-aily two months The went her bad hem nn
doubt, extremely unfavorable : met no trifling
port on of the bal vevt in the Noith of l!n''land
and S ctland, and the West of Ireland, remained
ui.hoiis-. il.
There is a positive certainty that most serious
injury has been don- to the potato crop in exten
sive districts in the three kingdoms, as well as
on the continent. All these causes have joined
to raise prices consideiabty.
The failure of the potato crop in Ireland is a
most distressing event. The accounts connected
with this subject, from all parts of that country,
are painful in the extreme.
The Cotton Market is depressed.
The dock-yaids and naval srsenals of P.iigland
exhibit extraoidinary activity at the present mo
ment. In many of the outposts steam frigates
of the largest class have been ordered by the Co
vernmeiit. to be ready by a five I period, accoi.l
iii2 to the contracts. As Cnland is at peace
with all the woihl. those who piofes to see far
ther into a millstone than their neighbor, point
to the ' Par West'' to Oregon for a solution of
the mystery.
The Pnseyite rupture with the Aneelitan
i church has taken an important turn. Mr. New
j man and a batch of his friends have at length
i formally seceded, and joined the Church of Rome,
i 'Hi event has not excited much supiise, for it
l as loiitf been expected.
j Cy A meeting vai held at Iock Haven on
Saturday last, in relation to the completion of
1 the Sunbnry and Krie Rail Road. Priday the 21st

C"7" The whedt crop, in the V. States, for the
year ls.(. is estimaled at 12.r millions of Imsh
els. which is about 22 millions more than has
ever been raised liefore. The crop inlK2was
102 millions of bushel-.. In Michigan the crop
is comparatively larger than other states. The
crop of that state is estimated at 7 millions of
bushels.
fVyWe copy the following extract fiom the
Washington correspondent ol the N. Y. Tribune:
Mr. Polk is rather below the medium height,
and is very well represented by the lithographic
portraits, save that they look more fierce than
is abso'utely necessary. There is, I need hardly
say, nothing coldly foinial, pon.poiis or imposing
in his appearance or manners. He is a simple
republican, destitute of pretension, amiable in
his manners, evidently kind hcaited, and sincere
in bis desires to piep.-rlv fulfil the high duties ot
his responsible station. That he is a tlioioughly
honest man, and means to do right in all cases,
there can be little doubt, and pet haps this very
anxiety has in some cases induced him to act too
quickly, upon lespresentations, the nature of of
which he was notable to judge, lie has made
such mistakes as a frank and honest southern
man is liable to make, when he comes in contact
with our shrewder and more crafty politicians
of the north.
Mr. Polk and bis lady, a attcrn of lady graces
and viitue, are both members of the Presbyteri
an Church, and they carry out the soiiieva hat se
vere tenets of the creed. Por the first time per
haps, since our government was founded, have
laiuily prayers been regulaily established at the
White House. At the President's dinners he
neither drinks w iuehimself not invites bis gursta
to drink. A set vant, indeed, ask the guests if
tin y will drink wine, and gets it for Ih.-m, if de
siie.l, but, asnay well be supposed, the example
s.-t by Mr. Polk is gem rally followed by his visi
tors. It is understood at Washington that both
t ards and quadrilles are to be dispensed w ith at
Mrs Polk's sti ties net w inter, and she will, of
oiiis ", set the la-hiou I n th ' greater jKirtion of
tli" Washington aristocracy.
The religious lone of Mr. Pol k's character,
and the sti lelni s ofbis morals have ha I an evi
dent elli ct upon the city of Wa-binton. So tar
as l,a e obsei veil di Hiking is tale and unfashion
able every body gin to I'huich, and dissipa
tion is mole discount, uuiicrd than at any burner
pel iod, judging from descriptions I have had of
lile in Washinjli.ii. Indeed to be l.i nial.ly i.
ceivnl by Mr. Polk, puiity of chaiai tcr and so
briety are essential requisites."
Mil. Ri ciiaxax. I he Washington V S Jour- j
lial says : ' The political Iriends of the present
Secretary of State in Pennsy Kama protest mast
firmly and unequivocally against his leaving his
present position. It is understood that he has ful
ly determined to retain the situation he now holds
so all speculation as to who will be bis succes
sor is idle and vain."

post of law professorship in the Catr.bi idge law

a very decided conviction that the immediate I

road from the town ot Danville to the Shamokin

the Reading rail road at Pottsville, ought and
does receive the cordial and earnest support of
each and every member of this convention that
it is a work offering assurance of great public be-
nefit, and of investments highly profitable to the
"pital'M who engage in its construction, con-
n"r'ing as well the great iron region of Columbia

i Tlie Wlusl Crop of 111. j
The wheat crop of the Pnited States for this,
year, is estimated at 1 i'.Ofin.OUO ofbushels The -wheat
crop of IM'.', which was the laigest ever '
previously taised in this country, was lO'l floi),- '.
(KMI shows not less the large additional amount of
land brought under cult ivation thtin the genial
character of the j,t summer.
The crop of Michigan is compaiatively larger
' than that of any other State in the 1'nion. With a
population not over ICO, nun, she laises this year
at least 7,0(10.0(1(1 bushels of wheat. The '.Vol-

say they can lurnmh I. mope with all the bread
she may need. The Ctnirul railroad nowbiings
down to Detroit 10,00(1 bushels of wheat daily,
fit to the producer, and thus with an immense
crop he reaps a high price w hich fortunate com
bination is all that is wanted to ensure a sound
and enviable prospesity.
This fall, the western States are not only par
ticularly fortunate in their large crops, but also
in acquiring intelligence of the lute rise before
the whole crop was iu second baud,
The follow ing table, Mhiihwefmd in the N
V- Herald affoidi mateiul lor reflection, as ex-
hibiting the variations in our own crop arising
from the character of the season.

It is nearly all consninvl at home. Our cattle
' enjoy an abundance of that food which would be
', deem-d a luxury in Europe. Such is the prolific
1 fertility of our soil and the extent of production
' under the competition of freemen.
