"The work guts bravely or. !" A
Railroad—a lire Railroad—has for years
!men the great want of Adams county.
Without it, we have been, so to speak,
at " a stand still," whilst the neighbor
ing counties "went ahead" with all the
speed improvements of the kind gener
ally induce. But "there's a good time
a-coming" even fur us—and acit far (Ant
that.
It is expected that on Thursday next,
the first Locvmotive and trail' of Caro iciU
enter Adams county .?—ibr the first time
to wake np their thousand echoes with
in limits eo long shut oat from the joy
ous:sound of the whistle and the ener
getic tread of the " Iron Horse." It is
expected that a goodly 'mintier of those
interested in the success of the road—
and who is not ?—will be at Hanover
on that day to see the first passenger
train start out on the Gettysburg Rail
road. By that time the track-layers
will bare crossed the dividing line be
ta' n York and Adams counties.
Broke Jail.
&UWE'. BASTICK, convicted of mali
cious mischief at the late term of Court,
and sentenced to two. months' impris
onment in the County Jail,made his es
cape on Fkiday morning last, by "quar
rying " a hole through the outer wall.
The door of the prison was opened.at
A. M., to allow the prisoners the
freedom of the yard for a short time.

west wall, large enough to admit 'his
hody, when he took " French leave."
The work mast have been done very
quietly and quickly, as the other pris
oners, who had not gone into the yard,
were not aware of his doings, until he
had effected his escape. When last

Broke hill Arm.
- On Tuesday evening last, (hiring the
exhibition of Baily & Co's. Circus and
Menagerie, in this place, Mr. WARD,
the Clown, fell from his horse whilst
performicg in the ring, and, sad to say,
bruke his arm. The accident caused
deep and general regret throughout the
large audience, and operated as a dam
per on the remaiVer of the perform
ance. It was caused, we arc informed,
by one of his slippers catching in the
saddle in sonic unusual manner, by
which he lost his balance and fell.
lle is - still here, and may remain sev
eral weeks, or until the state of his arm
will allow him to travel with same de-

Advertising a Moral Duty.
Some years ago it was proposed by
an American Physician that memlx.rs
of the Faculty should advertise their
remedies and modes of treating "diseases
in the newspapers. It was scouted,
however, by the profession generally,
as infra dig. But is there any degra
dation in publicity f Is it not rather
the great touchstone that ties preten
sion and universalizes the practical be
nefits of all vain - able inventions and dis
coveries? Should not a profession that
aims at the mitigation of suffering and
the preservation °Hire, make the means
of obtaining these grand objects known
through the channel of information
most accessible to all classes and condi
tions, the columns of the public press
If it declines to do so, the natural infer.
enee is either that the desire of secrecy
arises from a sordid, monopolizing, ego
tistic spirit, or from a Lick of faith in its
own prescriptions.
I Viewing the subject in this light, we
! may irresume Professer Holloway some
twenty years ago, overleaped the bar
riers which the profession had erected
between itself and the public, and
plunged fearlessly into the newspaper
arena. Ile had discovered or rather in
vented, after years of research and ex
pernnents, two preparations which he
t believed to be specifies for nearly nil the
diseases of mankind; and as an indica
tion of his confidence in them, and a
proof of his philanthropic wish that, if
really valuable, they should be accessi
ble to the whole world, he advertised
them wherever advertising media exis
ted. This was the severest ordeal to
which he could have submitted them—
the crperimentam cmcis. He threw
them at once, as it were, before the
rick of all regions. He stated their
; properties, proclaimed what they would
do, and staked reputation and -fortune
, upon the issue. That issue has been all
' that he or the world could have desired.
The rich and the poor, the learned and
I ignorant, physicians, statesmen, mou
archsra nation of enlightened freemen,
have sanctioned, used, extolled them—
theWare fixed facts in medical history
Is k not this better than hiding light
under a bushel ? -Is it not better than
writing prescriptions in a dead lan
gii4ige, and putting weights and quan
tities into hieroglyphics.
If any thing is worth knowing it is
! wortbv of being universally known.-
1 So thinking, Holloway proclaimed the
!virtues of his medicines through the
press; and fortune, fame, and the gran
! tude of millions have been his reward.
