Sale of tSe Public Works.
The veto of the Governor of this Slate of
tho bill for the sale of the public works, we
meniioncd.to our readers last week as having
beetf filed iri 'tho office of the Secretary of
Stale 10 be returned to the next Legislature.
This brll provides for the incorporation of a
company, to which is to be transferred the main
line1 of the State improvements by railroads
and canal, cotinecting the city of Philadelphia
and tho ciiy of Pilisburg. Those improve
ments, constructed at an aggregate cost of
about fifteon millions of dollars to the State,
are 10 be sold or transferred to this company for
the sum of sixteen millions, to be paid in sub
scriptions of one hundred dollars a share, in
cash or in certificates of loan of the Common
wealth. But it will be recollected that we
havd previously stated that these certificates
are at about SOU lor SluO and the conse
quence would be that the company would buy
the improvements at about eight millions.
The general objection of the Veto is.that, in
the language of tho Governor, the measure is
most impolitic and unwise." The vcio then
goes on; to state as follows :
"The income from the main line of im
provements this year, will very considerably
exceed that of the last year. During the first
two months of ihe business season, under
great disadvantages, it is upwards of thirty
thousand dollars boyond the corresponding
months- of Jast year. This is surely no cause
for despondency, but for confidence and hope
in the future value of these improvements.
At ail events, if they are to be sold or dis
posed of, let it be on the most advantageous
terms .to the btate. li, instead of confining
the commissioners to taking subscriptions of
stock on the terms mentioned, they were allow
ed to sell the stock at public auction, to the
highest , and best bidders, in amounts 10 suit
purchasers, an advance would probable be re
alized beyond the simple subscription."
Speaking of tne late attempt to sell the
Delaware Division, at ihe Philadelphia Ex
change, the veto says :
When we seea most unexampled scramble
for tho stock hired men forcing their way inio
the room of the Commissioners not a man
subscribing bonaf.de for himself, but all wear
ing the aspect of bold and unblushing specula
tion persons who look an active part in the
passage of the bill in the Legislature, congre
gating from remote parts of the State, and
witnessing the transactions with more intense
anxiety ihan mere patriotism usually produces
and the Commissioners finally compelled to
disperse hasiily and close the books without
completing the task confided lo them by the
Legislature, it is well calculated to make us
pause ; to retract our steps, if we have acted
without due caution, anfl to proceed only upon
the cleares't conviction of dutv and of sound
policy"
To take possession of Oregon.
It should be named, among ihe movements
of the day, that Col. PJchard M. Johnson has
accepted ,an invitation to attend the Oregon
Convention to be held in Cincinnati on the 3d,
4th, and 5ih days of July instant. In'his re
ply to the committee inviting him to express
his full confidence in the title of ihe United
Stales to ihe Oregon Territory, he says, "J am,
therefore, willing to adopt such measures as
may -seem most conducive to its' immediate oc
cupation, whether the Government acts or not,
having due regard to the laws and constitu
tion!." A portion of the Canadian papers say that
another rebellion is certainly brewing there,
and that it will be far more extensive than the
last. It h staled that irregular military com
panies, have been formed ; and bodies of pri
vates ,are secretly forming. Meetings are be
ing frequently held in Montreal, which are
largely attended by ihe French Canadians, and
secret societies, having for their object the
dismemberment of Canada from the mother
country, prevail throughout the .French dis
tricts. Mutiny and Murder.
slthe New Bedford Mercury publishes a let
ler.igiving an account of a mutiny which had
broken out nu board of the whale ship Faii
haven, Capl. Norris, at the Ascension Islands.
The 'Fairhaven had lost 11 men, and taken
sonie. jiatives on hoard :n place of them.
-Oue morning, (no dates are given,) whales
were raised, and boats were lowered in pursuit,
leaving the captain, a boy, and' three natives
,on board. Shortly after they had left, those in
,boais discovered the ship's signals to be ai
half mast, and on reluming in ha&le, learned
from the boy, who was in the Jigging, that the
natives had murdered the captain. '
With great difficulty iho mate contrived to
get 0i board unseen, by way of the, cabin
windows, and loaded several muskets, with one,
of which he shot- one of the natives dead,
iAnothe'r w,as".1i6t by the bpat's crew, who mic-
ceeded in pelting'. .on- Ifrtard shortly after, and.

Effects of Perseverancenever
despair.
The Providence Chronicle furnishes the fol
lowing account of success from untiring perse
verance, morality and honest labor.
In tho fall of tho year 1830, a young man
just out ol his time, landed at Whitehall, New
York, to seek employment as a journeyman
printer. He was comparatively poor and friend
less, and after, three months spent seeking
work, was about ready to give up all hope of
success, but resolving slill to persevere, he at
length obtained employment as a journeyman
at eight dollars per week, in the office of the
N. Y. Evangelist, a weekly paper published in
that city. He continued in that situation till
the Spring of 1832, when he procured a press
and a fevy type, on credit, , and opened a very
small printing office to print cards and circu
lars. He had no sooner commenced business
in this small way for himself, ihan the Cholera,
that awful scourge appeared in the city. He
was compelled, with a heavy debt, to close his
office, and go to work as journeyman on the
Evangelist, to procure bread for his little fami
ly. After a few months, when the Cholera
had subsided, nothing daunted by so unprom
ising a beginning, the persevering young man
reopened his little office, and obtained, occasi
onally, a job or two of work.
This enterprising and persevering young
journeyman printer is no other than Robert
Sears, the well known author, writer, compi
ler, printer, publisher and bookseller, of the
three beautiful volumes of Pictorial Illustra
tions, which succeeded each oilier at intervals
of about six months, and of which, by the aid
of about S5000 expended in advertising, the
almost incredible number of 30,000 were sold
in less than eighteen months ; and also of two
other pqually elejiant pictorial volumes "The
Bible Biography," and the " Pictorial Wonders
of the World." These two volumes; are re
ceived with a popularity nearly or quite equal
to that of the Pictorial Illustrations ; and in
addition to these, Mr. Sears is now the Editor,
Proprietor and Publisher of " Sears' New
Monthly Family Magazine" a most valuable
periodical publication, which has already ob
tained an almost4 unprecedented circulation.
How striking an illustration is afforded in ihe
uphill progress of this friendless journeyman
printer, of tho truth of the adage " Labor
omnia vixcit"-- Labor conquers all things.
Hatching Apparatns.
They have a machine for hatching eggs now
actually in use in London, bringing out the
little chickens in broods of fifties and hundreds,
with all the punctuality of an old hen. The
following is the advertisement of the machine,
as we find it in the London papers of the 2d
inst., which we insert gratis, just for the sake
of spreading a knowledge of the new inven
tion :
"Hatching Apparatus! Reduced prices (from
Eight to Sixteen Guineas.) Messrs. Todd and
Son, of Bury street, Bloomsbury, beg to call
the attention of the public to their portable pa
tent Hatching and Rearing Apparatus, being
the original manufacturers. "This successful
invention is capable of hatching, at a trifling
expense, any number ol game and poultry
eggs of all sorts, from 50 to 200, at one time,
and possesses tho further recommendation of
furnishing poultry for the table at a trifling cost
at all periods of tho year. For further par
ticulars apply to the manufacturers. A machine
may be seen in use daily."
Wild Morses in South America.
One of the Robertsons, in. his let
ters on South America, states that he
has in his possession contracts which
he made at Goya " with an estanciero,
for 20,000 wild horses, to be taken on
his estate at the price of a medio
each, .that is to say, threepence for
each live horse or mare. The slaugh
ter of them costs threepence a head
more, andstakirig: and cleaning the
hides, once more, threepence; and
lastly, a like sum for carting to Goya,
making- the whole cost one shilling
for each skin. Of this contract ten
thousand animals were delivered ; the
skins were packed, in bales and sold
in Buenos Ay res for six rials of three
shillings each, and they sold ultimate
ly in England for seven or eight shil
lings ; that is, the skins sold for about
2,800 3,000 percent, on the first cost
of the horse from which the skin was
taken. Such is the accumulative
profit sometimes..of the produce which
is taken froni'the hands of the grow

weeks, Mr. George H. Bohrer, othat
county, was deliberately and in cold
blood shot down, whilst engagedF"at
work in his field. He was approach-;
ed by a clan of. cut-throats, three: of
whom fired rifles from' the skirt of
the woods, the ball of each rifle li
kin'g effect one entering just bel!biW
his! right under jaw; another entering
his right breast, near the nipples, an$
the other the small of his back. ..The
brutal attack was made witliout'givr
ing any signal of alarm. iVir. Bohrery
ran; after- he received these ball's)
about one hundred and ninety Steps,
before he fell. He was pursued by
his blood-thirsty murderers, and with.
his hoe, with which he hadbeen en
gaged at work, his brains beaten out!
The perpetrators of this foul crime'
then retreated, leaving the manglpjll
corpse in the field.. This hornbfe
deed was perpetrated close by the
side of one of Bohrer's little giris
who was at the time with him in the
field. Mr. Bohrer was a man possess
