"The Pittsburg Post."
Mr. Harper, editor of the above paper, in his
paper of Saturday last, publishes the card of n
number of passengers over the Pennsylvania
Railroad, written at IIo'lida3-sburg, under date
of March 17th, which complainsof the detention
and delays on that route, aud advises passen
gers going east or west to take some other route.
It appears these passengers had "missed the
connection, at the Mountain House, and were,
therefore, delayed.
Mr. Harper in commenting upon the card re
ferred to, goes on to say "that there is gross
mismanagement on the line of road between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia," and that "the
Pennsylvania Railroad is not the party in fault,"
"that the cars of that company arc always up to
time, unless unavoidable accident should pre
vent," and that "the delays which cause all the
trouble, and give rise to all the complaint, are
on that portion of the railroad owned by the
state, and controlled by its agents." He excu
ses the Penna. Railroad and lays all tne blame
upon the poor old Portage.
When a man begins to go "down hill," the
saying is that everybody gives him a kick. So
with the Portage as it is fading from O Tvicw,
Mr. Harper in giving it a ki-k expects to knock
it out of sight. The Post further says, "through
gross mismanagement and reckless carelessness,
the Portage Road has become a terror to trav
ellers. Neither life nor property is safe in pas
ting over it." Mr. Harper having crossed and
re-crosscd the road a number of times daring
the last year or so, must be a courageous man
to have braved the dangers of the Portage and
so often hazarded his precious life. Perhaps he
has it insured. We warrant you that were the
Portage Road a Cabinet Officer, it would be
"'delightful Portage," "most excellent Portage,"
soundly democratic Portage," "safe, speech
Portage." But the poor Portage has "no friends
to reward." The Portage cannot be "a terror
to travellers," because, during its existence for
twenty years, there has not been, to our knowl
edge, a single passenger hilled in crossing over it
Can your Pennsylvania E.oad, your Cumberland,
or jour Tenna. and Ohio Road tell as good a
tale ? True, it causes the death of a dozen or
so persons, yearly, through their own circle??
ness, but passengers have, so far, been exempt
from ixijury, and while we are content that the
Portage should be held accountable for its vic
tims, we are not content that it should be over
charged with slaughter, uncommitted. Ana
furthermore, "the cars of the Penna. Road" are
not "always up to time." There has been much
more detention during the past six months upon
the Penna. Road, than upon the Portage, as can
be easily shown, and which i3 universally ad
mitted by those who ought to know. The old
Portage is dying Mr. Harper it has grown into
"the sear and yellow leaf" be kind to it in its
old age, and bear patiently its few faults,
C2?"Early last week, a man named McCaf
frey, in jumping off the cars at Jefferson, was
thrown with his breast against a switch, from
the effects of which he died on Sunday morning.
JJOn Friday last, a carman named Egnn,
as he was conducting a train over the Portage
Road, wliich was run into by another train,
near the big viaduct, had both legs crushed
between the bumpers. He died on Tuesday,
and leaves a wife and six children to mourn his
loss.
g5A section boat was thrown off the track
near Jefferson, on Tuesday; one of the mules
sprang -out of the hatch and the fall broke its
neck, causing Immediate death.

SrMMiTvir.LE, March SO.
Our town was enlivened on Thursiay last by
the arrival of our excellent Governor, General
Bickel, Mess. Morrison and Clover of the Canal
Board, and a Committee appointed by the House
of Representatives, consisting of Mess. Merri
man, Kilbourno and Hart, who came to examine
and report on the New Portage R. R. I thought
of calling an especial meeting of our borough
officers and giving them an extensive reception,
and getting up an address in city style, but the
remembrance of the Jenny Lind failure struck
me : so I gave up the idea.
Gen. Pomeroy who by the way is "very
sound" ns one of your friends says in compa
ny with Judge Ives, and a few of us "unterrifi
ed" Democrats not in want of office, accompan
ied the party to Johnstown. We stopped nt
different points along the new work ; the Gov
ernor said he was in for a full sight, so we took
our time and all had a fair onnortunitv to ex
amine the road. At Pringle's Point, we got off
the cars and all walked across the hill. Arri
ved nt Johnstown in good time, and partook of
an excellent supper at Renshaw's. The Gov
ernor, Committee, &c. took horse the next day
at No. 4 and rode over the New Road to No. 8,
and left the same evening for home. The few
of us that remained called on the Colonel smo
ked a pipe and got home by railroad, perfectly
"sound," which is a most remarkable occur rence.
What report the committee will make I have
no idea ; but if they or any who want infor
mation on that subject call on our friend the
General, he will make it appear as cleaT as any
thing can be to any sensible man, that the New
Road will be able to do twice the work at half
the expense of the old road.
I suppose the Committee will report in a few
days when we will know more about it:
Tliey have a good joke on the Governor,
which they tell or rather he tells himself.
When the patty came to the head of No. C, the
Governor was standing on the front of the car ; as

Governorcame up opposite, saluted his Excellen

the Governor, "we have a Committee in the cars

We learn from tho Standard that the trial of
James Shirley, for the murder of his wife, com
menced on Friday last, and would not conclude
before to-day or to-morrow.
Henry Calm and Martin Donahue, convicted
of Larceny, were sentenced to 18 months im
prisonment in the Penitentiary. Ed yard O'
Reilly, convicted of Larceny, sentenced to two
years imprisonment in the Penitentiary. D.m-
iel and Martin Keith and Peter Burns, convicted
of nn aggravated riot, and assault with intent

year in U12 same institution.
An Irish woman from one of the railroad sec
tions, was hastily buried in the Catholic gra-fc I ;
yard in Hollidaysburg last week ; afterwards
infirmation was made to the police force that she
came to her death from the maltreatment of her
husband, and suspicions were abroad that she
had been murdered. The body was disinterred
nnd n post mortem exalnination made by Drs.
Rodrigue, Christy and McKee, who discovered
that she had died of disease of the lungs. The
husband who had been arrested, was discharged.
On Monday evening, a young man named
George Shade, employed ns driver on the rail
road, in Gaysport, while hauling two sections
of a boat, fell. upon the track, and two wheels
of the truck passed over his left arm complete
ly crushing it. The arm was amputcd, and the
sufferer is doing well.
A new locomotive, named the "Jupiter, is at
Gaysport. It is intended for the heavy grade
at the foot of Plane No. 4, and is, no doubt, "a
screamer," having no less than eighteen wheels
to support the engine and tender.

son, as Collector ; ex-Senator Dix, as SubTrea-

States before the Board of Commissioners on
California Land Claims, took the oath of office

Xater from Buenos Aj res.
New York, March 2G.
Dates from Buenos Ayres to Jan. 20 had been
received. The city was Fti'.I closely besieged,
and skirmishes were taking place daily. The
Governor, had issued a proclamation requiring
all males to unite ia driving off the insurgents,
and consequently nearly the whole population
was under arms. There was no prospect of the
siege being raised, Urquiza having immense in
fluence over tho country people. Produce was
Boarco and business was suspended.

iiie testimony elicited in tite case of Art-
Spring, just cdnc'u led in Philadelphia, on fcl
fi -.. , , . .
charge of being the murderer of Honnra Sb
and hilen Lynch, occupies considerable spaesi
the papers of that city. Among the witness
examined was Artihh, the son of the prisnri.
"The Ledger says he told his Story in nn artfe
manner and with great minuteness, fully corrt
orating the different statements of the differ
witnesses previously examined in reference j
circumstances with which he was connectcdr
The whole statement of the boy bore the imprf?
of truth upon its face ; it was consistent throug
out. During the time he was delivering the i-
idence, the father moved to the Western endf
the dock, so ns to get a better view of his si
tiian he had of the rest of the witnesses. Te
conduct of the father was not marked by ay
unusual emotions. j
Arthur testified that he was born in Philael
phia ; was eighteen years old ; has three yaair
sisters in the Asylum in Washington ; that te
dirk knife found under the body of one of te
murdered women, was given to him by a boyn
Washington, named Jas. Gooman; that to
weeks previous to the murder he missed te
knife, that his father, before the Thursday e
murder was committed, had So in inoney. whh
he said he got from Mrs. Harrington, and $3e
obtained from Thos. Ford, lis father, soie
time previous, he said, told him a woman tun
ed Julia Conner was about to loan him 8oO";
the real name of which woman, the witnesim
Tuesday beforethe murder, ascertained wasTrs.
Shnw, one of the murdered.
The visit to the house of Carroll, on the tght
previous to the murder, was next minute de
tailed. Spring told his son he was coin" here
to rob them, and the witness alleges he 5icom-
pamed him for the purpose of 'Y.eventiit the
outrage tsnd protecting the "inmates. Wlm his
father first proposal io go to the house roh,
the witness, refused to go, but the priwer fi
nally promised he would only ask Mrs 'Shaw
to loan him money, when he consentd to ac
company him. While at the house, tfc priso
oner hinted to' the witness that he wold "fix
them." The witness said if he was roing to
do anything like thut," he would leave. ,Liquor
was then brought in, and while all hanfc were
drinking, Carroll and his brother, who ljd been
out, knocked at the door, were let in. arj being
drunk, commenced fighting with Mrs. pit-roll
which ended in a fight between Carrel and
Spring, during which thelatter pulled sonbthing
out of his pocket, which the witness picjed up
and found to be a piece of leaden pine wipped
up in paper, not so large as the piece shorn the
witness before the grand jury. They sooi after
left the house, and on their way to Mcuiire's
the prisoner requested the witness not tofhrnw
the leaden pipe away, for lie would "fix tljm for
that yet" that lib would hit both of thenn the
head and end them, whereupon the vltuess
threw the pipe away, :is he said he woul carry
no weapon with which his father could fmimit
murder, in consequence of this lematk, his
father did not speak to him until the nei day.
On Wednesday his father returned to CtroU's
for his hat, but the witness kept a watci over
him all day, and at 10 o'clock at night came

er was in bed, remained, in the bar-room, rea
ding the Police Gazette, until the baker attach
ed to the housfc nskad him to go and see if there
was any salt in the house, and here we give the
testimony as reported:
"I went nnd got him some salt; while looking
for it, I heard a noise at the back door. I went
and opened the door, and saw my father out
side; 1 said I thought you were in bed; I did
think, ho was in bed down to that moment; in

from me nnd told me to bring some water on

he had his coat off ; there was a light in the
room ; lie asked me for the money and I gave it
to him ; lie then told me to tro down stairs, ind
jif they asked if he was in bed to say yes ; when
I went up with the pan I observed the condi
tion of his shirt: the breast of it was full of
blood; lie had on three shirts that night, an un
dershirt ami two linen ones; I saw this Irefore I
went down ; I asked him what crime he had
committed, and he ;aid lie had killed them 'two
G d d m b s;' he was then washing the
shirts; staid down stairs about a quarter of an
hour; I told M'Guire if he was waiting for fath
er lve was up stairs; some one came in and drank
and I went up stairs; father was then washing
his shirts; I looked at his coat to see if there
was blood on it ; I washed it off; I meant to con
ceal his crime as far as I could; I asked him
what two Women he had killed; and he said
Mrs. Carroll andfMrs. Shaw; I said do von
mean Mrs. Carroll; he said no, I mean Mrs
Lynch and Mrs. Shaw; he left the shirts on the
table todry; they are- the same shirts I saw in
the grand jury room; (the witness identified the
shirts ;) the windows were shut down ; he said
it was no harm to kill them, for they were com
mon women anyhow."
The witness then detailed the particulars of
the manner in which the two women were mur
dered, as narrated to him by his father on the
night of the tragedy. It appears that Mrs.!
Lynch, on coming down stairs to the rescue of
her sister, exclaimed "Mr. Spring, if you save
my life, I'll give you all thc money-i'ye got,"
when he struck her a violent blow.
The purchase of the shirts aud stockings with Hi
the $10 gold piece, nnd the payment of a $-3 ! is
gold piece to Mrs. McGuire for board, were tes -
tified to by the witness, who also identified the
shirts; the piece ef . pipe was also iden ified by

Good Advice.
A Messenger of Adam & Co. Express, gives
the following good advice to persons sendintr
i packages by express. We commend it to the
atfentioii of "ail whom it may concern :"
"Make up your parcels in pood thick paper :
or if the paper be light, use two or three thick
nesses, tie up with strong cord or twine, and
mark them in letters as legible as the signature
of John Hancock in.the Declaration of Indep n
donee. Taper-boxes are poor tilings to trust for
outside packages. It is curious to see the shape
Ithat hats assume in pa er. 'letters and milliners
use light wooden boxes for this purpose, and
make a great saving by it. Don't pack a Taw
turkey, half a peck of cranberries, a stone jar
of pickles, two thin glass bottles of preserved
sweetmeats, and pickled horse radish, a bottle
of ink, a daguerreotype, two or three letters,
and a parcel of expensive lace and infant appa
rel, with a handful of hay. all in the same box.
It is possible that some of them would spile.
In fact, to tell the whole truth, we once saw a
case, or rather a box in which it had been iried.
and, ns sure ns you are born, it was a sight to
behold The close atmosphere of the box had
not improved the -sweetnes of the "turkey, of
Course, ntid as the s'tone jars of pickles had
pitched incontinently int ithe "weaker vessels."
the horse radish and jellies had united, with no
advantage to their own fla-or, and very unpro
fitable for the ul hum. daguerrotype, lace work
and infantine clothing, which they had com
pletely saturated."
Dromedary Riding.
Bayard Taylor, in a recent letter from South
ern Nubia, pub!: 'bed in tire New York Tribune.
in which he describes a ride across the great
Nubian Desert, thus speaks of the pleasures
and peculiaritiesof dromedary riding. "I found
dromedary riding not at all difficult. One sits
on a lofty seat, with his feet across over the stii
imal's shoulders, or resting on his neck. The
body is obliged to rock backwards and forwards,
on account of the long swinging gait, and ns
there is no Xny or fulcrum, except a blunt pom
mel, around which the legs are crossed, some
little power of equilibrium is necessary. My
dromedary was a strong stately beast, ofa light
cream color, and so even a gait, that it would
bear the Arab test : that is one. might drink a
cup of coffee while iroing on a full trot, without
.spilling a drop. I found a great advantage in
the use of the Turkish costume. My trousers,
which contain eighteen yards of 'muslin, though
they only reach to the knees. a'l-w the leg per

ness and fatigue of which ni.my travellers com
plain I have not experienced. I ri le from eight
to ten hours a day. read and dream in the sad

Saw Mills.
The Boston Journal says :
"The old practice in making boards, was to
split the logs with wedges; ami, inconvenient its
the practice was, it was no easy thing to pnr
suade the world that it could be done in anv
I better way. Saws were afterwards introduced
fr the purpose of pieparing timber and boards
and "hits" were then invented fur the action of
the two bunded saw. This mode of sawing 1og
was greatly in use in New Knglnnd. where water
power could not easily le obtained, in the early
pait of the prcst'tit century: nnd. probably,
thefe are plawl yet where they are known and
render useful service. Saw mills were first
used in Europe in the fifteenth century: but so
lately as 1 !-. an English ambassador, having
seen saw mill in France, thought it a novelty
which deserved a particular liisi ription. It is
amus'iigto see bow the aversion to labor-saving j
machinery has always agitated England. The!
hrstsaw mill was estai'lislicl by a iiiitclmiae m
lt)i;3; tint the public outcry against the iiew-f m
gU'd machine was to vi dent that the pr iprietor
was forced to decamp w ith more expedition than
ever did a Dutchman before. The evil w is thus

warehouse, nnd Patrick Fitzgerald and John
Ward, b'boreis, were somewhat hurt, though
not dangerously. Mr. Clark, -a member of the

boat on which Mr. C. seen re. I a footing, and
which was laden with dry goods, was broken
