By reference to the proceedings of the Count y Meeting, it will be scan that the Commissioners, after a fall -and fret discussion cf the measure, have been tri unipbantly sustained bj the people in loaning the credit ef Union County for 200,000 in aid of the contemplated Sus qaehanca Railroad. The road would benefit the icW county, and it is therefore just that the whole county should aid, at least aa endorser, in the enterprise, while those moot benefited it ia expected will invest their money in the wk. It is now twen'y years that the Sua qcsLanna Canal Las been in oparation through Pen rs and Chapman townships, aid the it.Vj.'c minify Ls been subjected to direct, burdensome, and almost unin terrupted taxation, to pay fi,r the con struction and repairs of that Canal, in which the people of those townships in Tested no motey. They have enjoyed nines store particularly all its benefits. It looks hardly generous for them now to oppose the citiscas of Union, East Buffalo, Buffalo, Lewisburg, Kvlly, and White Deer, when they ask for an improvement, along thir bank of tbe river, in which they are willing to invest tiw.tr own money. and for which no correctly informed man apposes that either tbo county or the fltate will roTitrilate, directly or indirect ly, one dollar by taxation. Yet we are informed that most cf the opposition to the sibscriptioh coaies from or is insti tuted by eit:ters cf I'enns and Chapman ! We regret to se the spirit, waich opposes a measure calculated to elevate and im prove the whole county, without injury to any section. Ia addition to these, ere seme whose fears of a fxnsilii'i'y of taxa tion in unlooked-fer contingencies, over cctne their hopes :hat there is no profit bility of such a result. These two classes it is now attempted by a few arrow minded politician, te marshal into a fac tion for the next fall's campaign. Men who have urged on and commended this County Subscription, now denounce it as an infamous imposition of a tax upon the people a mortgage upon their lots and farms! It is truly humiliating to think, that no public uieaaure of tbe greatest moment ean be proposed, against which some groveling, mousing electioncerer will not attempt to poison the public mind, and prostitute tbe press, in order to elect a Constable or a Commissioner ! We trust that this, like similar crusades against Feboe-1 Laws, &c, will prove bootless tilt. The people -f Union county know their true interesfc,and they know who are attempting to mislead them in this matter. fTJ With the advent of Spring, im provements and additions to the visible Lewisburg are briskly going forward. The former residence of Wm. Hayes, corner f First and Market streets, ia being reno vated and modernised by the present owner, S. J. Cresswell, of Philadelphia. James F. Linn is adding a brick building to his dwelling on Market St. Peter Beaver is about to erect an elegant Store room on the North East comer of Third and Market streets, with other improve ments on the property there located. W m. Frick, oa tbe eoruer opposite that of Mr. Beaver, is reanimating the property cf A. Graham, and adding a brick block for shops, 4c., on Third street. Fevtril good dwelling houses, in process of erec tion in various parts of toe? n, attest the prosperity of others. The noise cf the boatman's hammer is 'not jot beard in the Boat yard of Frick & Slifer, bst we hope may ere long add music to that part of the Borough. At the other extremity, we are informed, ar rangements will bo mide and the founda tion laid this season, for the centre portion of the main University edifice. For the Female Academy required by the Charter f that Inbtitufiou, the Trustees have bought the elegant three story mansion built by L. B. Christ, in the highest and mast pleasant part of town, and the Presi dent of the lustitution is in quest of a competent gtnticman and lady to take charge of it. The genius of reform has also laid vie lent 'lands on the bouse of worship be longing to tle LUbrn Church, and that v..,.i.tinff is now in rtins. On Tuesday o . - . , ., . , an td SaSLast Saturday evening, we met !

U i the intention vt tbe congregu.o.i to erevt this scaaon on the same lot, a larger and morfl C0UVnitut 1 fer puhlie wurahip. aauiu evcuiug, whilo shivering before the wind creeping thro' four scores of broken panes in the caricature of the Lewisburg Town Hall, we learned that its windows are a faverite mark for the lads of the vicinity. The conclusion was pretty strong, that there was need of public atten tion to this mode of evil by boys, and that it was time stern punishment was meted out to them. Let a reward be offered by the Council for the conviction of these offenders, and the offences would soon cease. There is another evil which forces itself before tbe public, and that is the ulmse of tbe Town Hall. That building was not iutended to accommodate the strolling vagabonds who corrupt the morals and pick the pockets of the youth and the thoughtless of our land, nor for private associations. It was designed for the transaction of town business, and other matters of interest to the jiublie. It is now occupied by negro shows and petty jugglers of every detestable description dancing parties, and weekly assemblages of secret societies and in its multifarious uses and abuses, is a constant tax upon the Borough, and yet is never fit for a decent assemblage of white men. It was thought when the last Burgess and Coun cilmcn were elected, there would be a reform in this matter, and we know many besides ourselves who voted for them under this expectation. Who can tell how many uiglits that nail has been used for purposes of no interest or benefit to the pnliic ? and yet we are told for the Coun cil seui not to consider the Chronicle's readers of enough importance to give them their account, aud we have not examined it we are told that last year but $3 or 10 were received from all these sources a cum not half sufficient to keep up need ed repairs ! 1 We wish also to refer, in this con nection, to the pernicious custom of trust ing minors, (especially students,) and of selling them articles which arc not essen tial to their comfort, or consistent with their means, or approved by their parents or friends. It would be considered dis honest to take the money of a child four years old, for gilded bubbles, or poisonous sweetmeats. But is it more honest to en tice or permit larger boys to commit simi lar follies? Yet if we are not grossly ;i'isinf jrmed, men in Lewisburg have (we hope thoughtlessly) dons this very thing. The habit of spending money to gratify every whim, tit desire, or taste, and to pamper the appetite, is bad enough for grown men, but is double destructive to the character, the true enjoyment, and the happy progress of the young. In many cases where the more able are thus in dulged, those who are less able are sub jected to temptations and to trials, dan- genus to theis morals, and disagreeable to their sensibilities. An abundance of money, ruins far more young men than a scarcity of it Any one who will observe and rtjlect, will beat evidence of the truth of these remarks. And we know that young men have been kept away from the University at this place, solely from a con viction by their friends that they had been persuaded to squander their money by men whose better judgment and professions of honorable dealing, should have prevented them from gratifying or yielding to the caprice of the youth plaeed here to receive an education in the midst of what claims to be a virtuous and friendly community. Some useless debts thus made have been vry properly left unpaid and well would it be for the Students and 8chools well for the best interests of tbe whole commu nity, in the long run if all such debts were repudiated, and those who encouraged or allowed them to be contracted, were made known for the public to avoid. If any of onr readers can conscien tiously appropriate any of these strictures to thcmselves,we hope they will do eo,and those who have already subscribed. Many single shares of slock were taken by email lot-holders, clerks, draymen, and laborers, in the Central road, at Philadel phia ; and by that means, a great public work was secured, and those who contrib uted already realise 6 per cent, on their money, even before the work is finished. The Baltimore road is not on'y much shorter, but every way promises to pay Tetter as an investment. J. D. Dieffcnder, New Columbia 2 $100 Henry High, White Beer Mills L. F. Albright do II. U.

We do not know about believing the last : "There was a Juror in attendance upon Court in this place during the past two weeks, who, though living in Lycoming county all the time, has not been in town before since the year 1812, when, as we see by an old Gazelle in our possession, John Cummings was Sheriff of Lycoming county, and by a bucno s sale witn tiis name attached, that Bradford county was then a part and parcel of old Lycoming. Since the recital of this occurrence, how ever, we are informed upon ercditablo au thority of a still more striking instance of contentedncss and love of home. There is a man living in Union county, within four miles of the town of New Berlin, wealthy and respected, who has never in his life time visited that place, although 100 ; he is now between forty and fifty years 100 old. When asked by a traveler in what 100 j direction the town lay, he pointed out the inn ro, hut when more particular inquiries 100 resPect'"o distance, location, &e., were put 200 to him, be answered "be did not know, 100 Qd his neighbors confirmed the truthful ness of his statement that he had never visited the borough in Lis life, though he had lived on the same homestead since his birth." 100 100 100 100 100 100 200 150 1000 1000 50 250 250 100 500 500 100 50 150 150 50 300 50 50 50 50 200 100 50 00 100 100 2500 1000 1000 100 1000 1000 1000 1000 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 50 100 100 200 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 250 100 100 100 100 100 100 250 50 150 1000 Adjourned Railroad meeting.

Mondat, My 17- A Fugitive Gose. A (oitive slave was in our State Pnon last week, and his term within one day of its close, when a U. S. Marshal and a son of the claimant appeared at Sing-S ng. for the purpose of making an arrangement for h s release at a designated hour next day, when they would be on hand to nab him Alter they had spent an hour looking thro' the prison, they made known their errand, and were politely informed that a pardon for their man had been received Irom the Governor, and that ihe neero had left the prison about ihe time that his puraurr en tered it. It ia understood thai he bad ta ken a'passage northward on the under ground railroad, and he hns not since been heard from. N. Y. Tribune. Boston, May 15 In the House, this morning, the bill for the further protection of personal liberty came up on its engross ment, and was defeated by 1 1 majority. The bill, had it become a law, would have conflicted directly with the Fugitive Slave Law Philadelphia, May 16. Last night, a posse of the Police, on duty in German' town, arrested 32 members of the Hand in.

The third public Session of tbe Catholic Council was held in the Cathedral this morning, in the pres ence ol an immense audience. The (French) Debate comes out in favor of tbe American expediiion lo Japan. " What is now doing by the Americans," it says, " is the realization of the dream ol Christopher Columbus." The evidence which we publish from the Columbia bpy, taken before the coron er's inquest, prove what we have stated be- fose, that ihe killing of Smith the alleged fugitive slave, was a wilful murder. The poor negro was firmly held by two strong men, at the time he was shot, and no one in the least interfered or attempted his res cue. All the stories trumped up by the murderers to screen themselves from pub' he indignation only make their case the worse. They have added deliberate false hood to wilful murder. We trust that the day of retribution will come. Harrisburg Tel. Tbe next State Agricultural Fair is to be held at Lancaster, on the 20ih, 31st and 22d days of October next The Ex ecutive Committee have acted wisely in withdrawing the annual exhibition from Harrisburg. in view of the fact, that the Society was last year swindled out of a large amount by the hands of seme of the residents of that town who had the man-1 agement of its affairs.

M Bigelow, in that town, aoed Ean Miller, his son in-law. for saying that be had been drunk everv day for two months. It wee proven on the trial, hoeever. that Bigelow was not drunk every day but nearly ; and the jury thought that one cent would repay him for the damage done bis character by the slander, which ihey awarded; and compelled each party 10 pay hie own costs.
