Al low lue again, gcutbnun. to thank you fer the toast you have drunk and I have done." The Chairman thru arose, and after pre fenting the testimonials already mentioned to the guests of the evening, proposed their healths, which toast we need not say was received with unbounded enthusiasm. When the cheering had subsided, Mr. John Black remarked : "Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen It u with the most grateful fee lings that 1 receive this beautiful aud chaste se rvice ot plate. as the highest evidence of your wishes for T roTct.

Black thanked the couipany,with much feeling, for the handsome gift bestowed upon him; and still more for the warmth 1 of heart and kind consideration, on their part, which had dictated it. The following toasts were then given and luly honored : By Mr James Findlay Mrs. Jlack and ramiiy. By Mr. John Black "I he working Lngineers oa the fct. Lawrence & Atlantic llailroad." By Mr. V. II. Black "Mr. T. B. McLennan, the able and cf- Soient Superintendent of the motive power on the ijt. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad.'' To which Mr. McL. responded. "The smiling Dames and blooming Las- sis of the 11 ist' m townships." "The Corporation of St. Hyacintbe." Ilesponded to by Pr. Boutillier. Mr. James Black then arose and said : " Mr Chairman With your permission, I desire on the part of the guests whom vou have h"iiored by an invitation to this feast, to oikra toast, lu the olden time of which we read, we learn, that it was customary ti honor the man who saved j the life of a citizen, with a civic wreath, j All men everywhere agree iu the propriety j of rewarding those with honors, who havej .'.istiiifii.-ht-d themselves, bv conferring benelits upon their race.

The project for supplying San Francisco with waterv seems to be falling through. The papers of the 9th are rilled with outrages, duete and murders.

S-SThauksgiving Day Thursday the 27th iust. FlitE. About S o'clock on Sunday morning last, a frame dwelling occupied by two families named Wert, in Chilli.-iua- jue Tp., a few rods below the I.ewi.-burg liridge, was discovered to le on lire by the inmates, and soon bumcd to the ground. A late fire for baking bread had been used and it is supposed communicated to the garret, where a light was seen by sonic citizens coming up on the Packet about an hour before the flames broke out; but they, j supposiug some one might be there in a case of sickness, made no alarm. 1 he families bs. c msidirable iu the way of necessaries of life, and a liberal sub scription in their aid has been started. JfcafWe have been iuforuied (cot thro' the press) that at the meeting of the Su- I preuie Court Judges last Friday in Uarris- burg, Judge llaek drew for 3 years, Judge Lewis " (j years, Judge Gibson. " U years, Judi:e Jjowric " 12 years, Judge Coulter " 15 years. If this be correct, Judge Black will be the next Chief Justice, aud with the largest vote will have the shortest term, aud with the smallest vote Judge Coulter will have the longest term. Cold Blooded Ilurder at Beach Haven. About 10 o'clock on Juuday morning last, Peinott Stookey was killed at Beach Haven, in I.uzeruu county, by Charles Seybert. The two men had a cimrrel the Saturday previous. Stookey left, but came back on Sunday morning, and weut up a pair of steps outside of the house and went to bed. Sometime after, Sey bert weut up, opcued the door, aud shut Stookey as he lay asleep. Tiie murdever escaped, and it is supposed lied West or North to Can ada, lie is about 30 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, slender, thin face, dark complexion, hair, aud e3-es, down look, rather slow to speak, awkward gait, and rather resolute iu maimer. (Another man of the name of Seybert committed homi cide in the same town, about a year ago.) We since learn that Sey bert was ar rested at Wilkesbarre, and is now in jail at that place. BSIn a preceding column we give the Official returns of the late Flei.tiou for Governor of Pennsylvania, aud of the Census for IS 50. It should be carefully preserved for future reference. The reported number of Deaths wa con sider incomplete. For example, l,bl'J deaths are reported for Lancaster, and but Tll'J less than half for the adjoining county of Berks, whose population is not one-fourth less than that of Lancaster. In Union, but 103 deaths are retunied.'while the adjacent county of Northumberland, whose population is nearly 3,000 less, returns 340 deaths, or more than double the number of deaths iu the more populous county. tSome of the ultra Democrats insist upou "cutting off the heads" of all those Democrats who voted against JudgeCamp bell, commencing with his 5,000 Democra tic neighbors iu Philadelphia who voted agaiust him 'because they knew him.' We have no idea the Whigs are to be accom modated by any such act of political sui cide. Thoso rabid partizans would be better employed in frustrating any future impolitic nominations. David Swenck, Esq., of Middleburg, is appointed Clerk to the Commissionersof Union county, in place of Christian Brey man, elected Register & Recorder.

The St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad, is to run from Montreal in Lower Canada to Portland iu Maine; and in addition to the benefit it confers upon those Chios, 1 will save much time, danger and expense now necessary in goin g by the Gulfs and Kiver to reach Montreal from the Seaboard.

A com pany of 7 or 8 New Yorkers and Pennsyl vanians, aiuoiig whom is our neighbor, Col. James Moore, Jr., we learn have under taken the construction of this work, which is to be finished within two years, at an estimated cost of Two Millions of Dollars. The Yankee nation is too apt, in prai sing itself, to do so at the expense of equally worthy neighbors.

As a location for great iron thorough fares, in the direction of both Eiic City aud the N.

The amount of gain to this State and our principal com mercial emporium from the throwjh trade and travel on this route, can not readily j be computed. But independent of all that, the local advantage to be trained is such as would tell powerfully upon thc j United States Senator to day, by the Ten 1, , .. , . .'r.essee Legislature.
