The Chairman thru arose, and after pre

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. James Black then arose and said :
" Mr Chairman With your permission,
I desire on the part of the guests whom

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. If one lift was;
considered so valuable as to distinguish
th" savior bv so high a reward, are we not
called upon "to honor those who by their
toil and industry, (though in the humble
walks of life.) may save many lives, and
who have added iuuth to the sum of hu-
man comfort and happiness. I sec before
me, men who have displayed a courage

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

rather slow to speak, awkward gait, and

which the Lcwisburg contractors-Messrs,

thing of fhe spirit and efforts of our Caiia-
dian neighbors in opening the highways
from the Atlantic to the mighty est.
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.
It also lays open to the world a large tract
of isolated country.
Another great improvement is projected
in Upper Canada. It is a Railroad, about
100 miles in length, connected Toronto
..-oli d,,. f,.t. -inn of T.-i'tf! Huron fur-
,.;j.;n,r n .tn ,eh shorter than the old
route via Lake Krie, aw.
a straight line from the
land to Lake Superior and the large scope
of couatry North, Kast, and South of that
most important as well as largest of the
inland seas of North America. 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. Not satisfied
with claiming for our country everything on
the credit side of the account, man)- of our
orators and writers are prone to deal some
harsh and (iu imagination at Last ) crushing
blows upon a certain family on the orient
side of the Atlantic, whith .-ceuis to be a
pretty soli 1 and well-to-do national family
after all. Their unmarried daughter, Can

Th8 West Branca Country
Is now well represented in the prominent
official stations of the Commonwealth ; and
her interests so far as they are connected
with, and can be benefitted by, the politi
cal power and influence now in the hands
of her representatives well provided frr.

which have been originated with reference
to these desirable results.
As a location for great iron thorough
fares, in the direction of both Eiic City
aud the N. Y. & Erie Road,' it presents
routes correspondingly second to none,
leading to and from the great West and
the Atlantic sea-board. 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
