By this, the County realizes from $15,009 to $20,000 clear prOlit ! NO MONEY WAS KVfcll 1'AIU OVKR the Couuty only loaned its credit.

But its j pro-penty, aud the worth of its Stock.wiil depond in a degree upon the public favor, ttul especially upon tbe go..d will of tLe enle among w lmm it passes. In a pnpuiar goverumuiit like ours, it is the right aud duty of every citizen to op pose or approve any public measure, or any candidate, before them. But wbeu the majority huvc decided a question, by j the co-usi iiutioual f jnus, any factious hiu- I dr ineL-1 tbe rx -. utin of it is as unlawful j a it is uti.at4S)lic. I. i:iOLTats must sub- j 111 it to Wing officers if tlu-y are elected, aud elect utuers at the next opportunity if j they can. Whigs must subinit to the Ta- j Tiff law of IS 10 aibough ibey can not j approve of it uutil they may be able to j improve it. Aud so with theso Couuty Subscriptions they were opposed, by all who saw fit, until they have been perfected by all the farms of law ; it is now the tiuty of every good citizen to submit, aud to prevent any further acts of that nature if he deems proper. At present, every form of Lostility to ; the construction and the prosperity of the ter and 'finishing the North Branch' Lave Susquehauua Railroad, is not only contra- j been the chief amusements of the natives try to the letter aud the spirit of our free for fifteen or twenty years past. Our pri iuslitutioiis, but also directly agaiust our j vatc opinion is, that the word "society," interests, personally aud as counties. All : as used in the replication to the third intcr- jnay have some influence, in elevating or : depreciating the value of the stock, and iu j so fax of promoting or injuring their own j interests. Political, personal, and local j wishes and feelings should no longer be j allowed to harass or depreciate an object iu which the common good is so deeply and so directly involved. Wc think the most determined opponent of the Road, if he is houcst in his views, 13 now Lound by self-interest as well as by law, to refrain from any act tending to injure tbe Road, aud also to "mute the brst of it" by giving to it his influence and his patronage. To Union county, a sale of its Bonds might relieve every citizen from payment of a State Tax for one year. Or from a County Tax for two years. Or, it might re-build the Court-House and Offices at New Berlin, if the People decide agaiust Division. Or, with a Division of Couuty and Stock, the half would be a convenient dowry for young "Suyder Couuty." LiQron on Sunday. The "Sunbury American" states that the tavern keepers in that judicial district dinot keep open Louses, for the sale of liquors, on Sunday. Judge Jordan, and Lis associates, Judges Dentlcr and AYeiser, are of opinion that a tavern keeper should not have any greater privilege in this respect than merchants, tradesmen and othcrs,Jwho arc prohibited from selling any of their goods or wares on the Sabbath. s.Two horses were stolen from differ ent persons in Bradford county, recently, but by rapid pursuit were recovered, and in one case the thief secured and lodged in Jail at Towaoda. The horses' beads were turned northwardly. AYc Lave no tidings of those recently stolen in Union and Center counties. "Isuepesuence Forever!"

Correspondence of the Levkburg Chronicle. Mission of San Jose, 1 (Cali.) May 20, 1853. Mr. Editoi1 I take this method of ful filling an almost innumerable number of engagements to "write," and hope all who have my promise will accept this as an earnest of my remembrance. Your paper brings me many pleasant moments ; aud when I tell you that I read even its old advertisemcnta, yon may imagine how its more interesting matter is appreciated. The advancement of this country almost exceeds tbe imagination. Cities spring up as it were in a day, and fortunes are made in an hour and as soon lost. Business is as fluctuating as the surface of the sea. To-day you will pay an exorbitant price for an article ; to-morrow you can procure tbe same at a price as low and even lower at times than ia the old States. This is LEWISBURG, UNION COUNTY, PENN., caused chiefly by the uncertainty and the I something about the mines, 4c In irregularity of the imports. Of potatoes, last, I wished you a baPry new year, however, sufficient have been raised here ; a Railroad to Lewisburg ; I renew the to supply the demand thus far the present j tor clause, with an amendment may year ; and yet, a short time ago they were j Division movement be successful. selling at 4 to 5 cts. a pound, but arc now worth 12 J cts., which, allowing CO lbs. to the bushel, is $7 50 a bushel. Money J .,, . ii business is done on borrowed capital, fpC' eulators intending to realize tLe proceeds of their investments in ample time to meet their engagements. The consequence is, very oftcu, a disappointment in the enter prise, t'oiced sales, and total failures. At times, money can be loaned very readily for 5 per cent, a month, and 3 per cent, a month is at present the usual rate of interest. I have a case in point of the extent to which speculation by way of monopoly is carried. While the great fire was burning in Sacramento in November la-t, a steamer started for San Francisco, having on board two speculators. Ou their way down they entered into an agreement with tbe Captain of the boat, that he should lie off from the wharf a certain distance, and allow no one to land but themselves they to pay One IMlar a Minute to the Captain until they returned to the boat. They succeeded in purchasing all the lumber in market, at a low rate, and made their return in one hour aud forty miuutcs. The cousequcncc was, lumber could not be bought for less than four hundred dollars a thousand. i In proportion to its size, the business of ;Sall rraueiseo will compare well with Phi L-ithia or New York.

The "gambling bells" are as large and well furnished as any of the publie houses in your cities. In tbe evening, they are lighted up with large chandeliers, aud fine bands are constantly engaged pouring forth most magnificent music, which has charms to attract almost any mortal. In sjme of the rooms they have handsome females and some not so handsome employed in dealing the cards, and in carrying to and fro the best and most enticing liquors that can be procured or prepared. Is it at all surprising that thousauds are lured into these spleudid deus T and few, very fe, when there can resist the apparent chances for success. A few days ago, witn some others, I entered one of them " to see for myself." The band was in full blast, and all was excitement. I stepped up to a faro table : the operator threw his dice, leaving them covered, and asked the bystanders to put down their money. One on the right put down S2, another on the left put down S10; the operator turning aside commen ced conversation with the person on the right : the one on the left slily lifted the cap, saw the dice, became much agitated, searched Lis pockets, found $10 more, and put it down; the operator all the while apparently unconscious of what was going" on, and intent upon his conversation. The man on the left again lifted the cap, so that others could see, and again he put up another wager. All this time the ope crator had not moved the cap. Several standing around at last put down their money, sure of winning. Tbe man on the left also trembled violently....np came the cap, and all had lost 1 (I suppose they bad loaded dice.) The men on the left and right in these "tricks of trade" are called " cappers." They disguise themselves as persons just out of the mines, &c. &c., for the purpose of drawing in those who have earned by bard and incessant toil sufficient perhaps to meet their present wants. These " cappers," and especially those that can tremble well, receive ft good compensation for their services. In my next, I will endeTor to tell jou With respect, &c. W.

Fires and Fire-Proof Buildings. The frequency of fires in densely built portions of cities aud towns, and the im mense losses of property occasioned there by, Lave had the tendency to increase the rates of insurance. In a single (ire, from $300,000 to 500,000 have been destroyed. People complain, says the Philadelphia Ledger, when they arc charged more insu rance made necessary by increased risk but they seldom take the trouble of guarding effectually their property, by ma king the buildings fire-proof. When iron is so cheap and so well adapted to strength and security in buildings, it is singular that it is not more generally used in their con- struction. fcven wlierc tue tronts oi nou ses have been made of iron, the doors, door and window casings, surbases, joists, kc, have been constructed of Wood, so that the bouses have within themselves the materials for spreading fires from the basement to the roof. Why could not the larger edifices be built entirely of iron, or stone and iron, substituting tho latter ma terial for every purpose for which wood is now used ; Storehouses, manufactories, hotels and offices constructed in this man ner would be proof against the flames, no matter how these would rage around ; val uable property would be safe, and life would be more secure, for walls would not come tumbling down upon tbe heads of those whose duty calls them to the scene of conflagration.

The II,.,o I,,., ...... 1 ;n nnn,l.,n,n;nn iko iol.own using propensity, so strong of late among ! or t J n c, boys, mentions tbe following fact : " A few weeks ago, a youth of sixteen arrived in this city to prosecute his studies with a view to professional life. lie came from a distant State, and was to remain here for some years. A week or two after his arrival, he was seized with a paralysis in both legs, which advanced upwards till nearly tbe nearly the lower half of his body was benumbed and apparently life less. The most distinguished physicians in New York attended the case, but no relief being afforded, the unfortunate young man has been taken on his way home, and there is but little hope of Lis recovery. The cause of Lis disease is stated by the physicians to be chetciny tubacccoA habit ! which he early acquired, and persisted in to the time of Lis attack." A young lady of Delaware City, we learn, named Craig, souio- two or three months ago, swallowed a pin which lodged in her throat, so as to prevent her from speaking. Drs. Cooper aud Worrall were consulted but could afford no relief. Her friends were much alarmed as it seemed probable that it would'cventually termin ate fatallv. A few davs a?o she visited i - 1 ii J.-w .r j. Wtxinii, and Dnng much fatigued t jok a seat, when the clerk tendered her a glass of water ; while iu the act of drinking she strangled and threw up tbe pin. It was straight when she placed it in her mouth, but it came out bent into a half circle at the point, and much corroded. Saturday Evening.

Pierce by bis friends in Portland, came to be given to Col. Strickland Tbe cbaise unfortunately was not completed till after the offices had been distributed, whereupon the seal of the givers so much cooled, that it was put into a store instead of being sent to Washing ton. Finally it was given to Col. Strick land, who was a disappointed applicant for Bangor Collcctorship. What a falling off! intended for the President of the United States, and given to a rejected office seeker ! There are in the State of New York, some 100 Plank Roads, varying in length from two to thirty-six miles. The highest cost is 85000 per mile the lowest 81000 per mile. The average is $2000 per mile, with an average grade of 50 feet per mile, and hemlock plank. On such roads the revenue is not far from 14 cents per an num on the dollar. Another Offer to Mrs. Stowe. A private letter received at Newark, X. J., from Rev. Charles Beecher, states that his sister Mrs. n. B. Stowc, has received from Constable & Co., publishers at Kdinburgh, an offer for a Temperance Tale, like Uncle Tom's Cabin, of $10,000 in hand, and half tbe proceeds of the work after that sum is realized. ftv-An Anti-Beef Eating Association, has been formed in Philadelphia.
