StTSee new advertisements a new Lighning Rod ; large Canal job for con tractors ; Buffalo Valley Farms, and Lewisburg Houses and Lots, for pale, &c. forjudge Pearson, of ITarrisliurg, has been holding Special Court at Suubury, this week. Among Lis lar we found Judges Jordan and llcgins, and ex-Judge Pollock, besides several to-be Judges. V.We see statement but not in any Baltimore paper that Baltimore City Councils have subscribed to the Susque hanna Railroad, the Half Million dollars asked for. Philadelphia City has not yet subscribed the One Million dollars to the Sunbury & Erie Road, which was anticipated : but a large City meeting was held in its favor on Monday evening last, in which strong resolutions of the "must, shall, can and will" order were adopted. There is another 1,000 subscription, and another of 200, from Lewisburg to the Susquehanna Road. Tbe papers from KeIley,Buffalo,MifQinburg, West Buffalo, Hartley, Limestone and New Berlin, are ; not in. They should be filled up, and be , dozcn fu"ei1 of reaching their destina eent to Geo. F.

Kase, Brigade Inspector John W Simonton, and other staff officers were present at tbe military parade ; and the fielinsgrove Company and the two Lewis burg Companies, although not large in number, made a very creditable appear ance. The Circus produced its usual effect more drunkenuess than is seen in Lewis burg in any other day of the year. . How "Maine law men" can countenance by their presence such entirely unnecessary occasions for intemperance, ia beyond our philosophy we leave it for the Tempe rance Convention next Wednesday to axplain. MTAn exchange paper aays that the claim that Maryland was in colonial times the only home of religious liberty, appears to be questioned. There was a law in her wnine 1., u..a .u uc. i u... been repealed, providing the penalty cf a ' ' 0 ' . . BtatuU book, which is said never to have death not merely to blasphemers, but for Unitarians, and all who deny the Trinity. The ministers ana" members of the Unita rian churches of Maryland are to this day, it ts stated, under the ban of this law. It ia fortuaate (if the statement be true) that tha mild influence ef Christianity prevents such a law from being enforced. Rhode Island was, no one doubts, entirely free to all religious persuasion. B&.Th6 moat corrupt politicians, be lieve that no earnest public man is honest that "all men have their prioe." The most degraded of their sex, believe ''there is no virtue in woman." The thief be lieves "all mca will steal if they feel safe in doing so." The seducer of female innocence, denounces "Every man at be.-rt a rake." And so public journals, ltegotten in fraud aud living by piracy, judge all others to be equally low. Aud jet there is much virtue, loncsty, patrio tism, and truth, in the world mauy worthy men and women whatever their antipodes in character may assert to the contrary. fjull00- Jim0 Pollock is proposed I j several Whig papers as their next wauiiLte for Governor of l'euurjlyank.

The 2,270 paid messages average 16 paid words per racfjage, and as many more words protis fur address, ic., which would make 70 610 words sent from this office and transcribed in two ofik'cs, besides as j large an amount of calls, responses, &e., not transcribed say lo3,280 words in all. There are 20 offices cn the lice, and if they average; the same amount, the large number of 3,0u'5,f-'00 words in paid messages are sent fro:n on town to another in one year over that slender wire. This is done in 10 hours of the week days: and the amount cf public news and private talk botwecn operators, would very probably double even this amount. We calculate lbat G.lol.UJO words are transmitted per jear which, at 4 letters per word, and 3 manipulations per letter, would amount to 24,324,800 letters, or 73,674,400 manip ulations, or motions of the operator's hand. This calculation will exhibit the immense capacity of the medium. Of the messages received here, 6 were for persons not to be found, or were refused.

There is uo town with which we have more business than with that, especially during Court week; and many journeys, delays, and costs would it save yon. From New Ber lin, it would be extended to Selinsgrove, and thence dowu the Susquehanna. A subscription of $12 or S1400 would prob- ably suffice to make this connection. If j not made from Lewisburg, it is eertain the j extension south would go from Northum berland direct, and New Berlin probably wholly omiited. - "The Good Time is Coming," (At least in appearance,) when tho West Rran..h Pnnntrr run h:.va h advantages 1 7 , 1 for travel, at all seasons, which other por- , The ,7' J.J ,. ! nfluiidf thia " rnniiinrr not." into thai world. cuce.u. a.. u.6 i will I.a I.i.tIiIv eiii-crnlX, lintli in a enrl:l : .1. ... - i and pecuniary point of view.

J J t j Oa the first Jage of to-day S Chronicle, will be found tho recent Act of the Legis- j l.turc. aulhoriiiiic the Sunbury & Erie. Railroad Compauy to extend their road I from Sunbury to Harrisburg or the Cen tral Railroad, on condition that the Sus quchanua Railroad Company do not com plete their road for which they (the Susq. Co.) have a prior right within two years. Under this prospective or possible right which can really have no legal existence for eighteen mouths to come the Sunbury i Erie Company hoi put a corps of En4- ucers to work between Sunbury and Har i risburg. . If the people along the line, and the Susquehanna Company, are content with such intrusion, still there can be uo doubt that tha Susquehanna Company, by virtue of its prior grant, may, if she occu pies the route wilhin the time prescribed, havo the Jlrtt or the excJusice right to the route in question. Ou the other baud, the Sunbury & Erie Railroad Company, by virtue of iVa prior ijrant, will also doubtless claim a rtir riyht to the route from Sunbury to Wil- liuiusport; and this Company has now a corps of Engineers reconnoitfring both banks of the River above Northumberland. Meanwhile, the friends tif the Susque- t , T.t.-. t . i-i uuuna ior iuiinuore roau are sieauuy , pursuing their object to organize their I Company, and obtain a clear way from the Chesapeake to Eltuira and the Lakes.

The only plausible argument we see advanced OppO: sition, is that -if the Road will' j yield such a dividend as its friends sup- j pose, monied men could and would take ur the slock at once. But it should be remembered, that, so far as the country is concerned, there are very few if any men who have money to invest to any whrptatt j lt. Ah ! this "good filioir," and rrt amount, and that they can make surer in- ; ating and pampering half a dozen unne vesttnents in real estate, or in local stocks i cessary, artificial wauts had ruined him whose value is known aud fixod.

He had a few merry days, of the money necessary, holding the road j and scattered his mouey lavishly been a and the bond-makers asadditional gtiaran-l tees. As the banks when thev loan monev require endorsers for the very best men, so capitalists always require good security, for money advanced to be expended at a distance. As far as the northern portion of Union county is concerned, the mn.t able men who have been called upon have subscribed handsome sums to the Road, and secured the right of way as far as possible, thus " showitig their faith by their works.'" Some have not been called upon. Others, in different parts of the county, while professing friendship for the work, and expecting to receive greater or less benefits from it, take no stock them selves, and would prevent the County from lending its endorsement to the enterprise. A County Subscription is the ouly way to make such supremely selfish men bear the least share of even tha remotest re- sponsibility in the work. They are like those spoken of in Holy Writ, who " neither go into tho kingdom of heaven themselves, nor suffer them that are en tering to go in." 7Mr. Elijah Nye died at Montpelier, Vt., on the 15th ult., aged 86 years. He was for many years a worthy citizen of Ber lin, where his remains were interred. One of those prudent, tcmpetato and industri ous farmers, who accumulate handsome estates by unremitting diligence, and who know how to keep them. He provided ! liberally for his children in his life time, and left them, at his death, the rich lega cy of a good example. He often spoke with pleasure and animation, of an incident in his boyhood, on first meeting with the " Father of his Country." lie was dri ving a team, and the wheels of his cart discoursed music not very agreeable to a good farmer.
