    Railroad Project.
A new and gigantic railroad enterprise
is in contemplation, looking to the estab
lishment of a direct, six feet guage rail
road between the cities of New York and
Cincinnati. The Gazette of the latter city
speaks of it as follows:
A project is on foot, and is pressed with
great earnestness by Eastern capitalists, as
well as by many enterprising citizens in
Ohio, to construct a line of Railway from
Olean, New York, throngh Pennsylvania
and Ohio, to connect with lines leading to
Indiana and to Cincinnati, at some suitable
point in Ohio. This track to connect with
the New York and Erie Road at Olean,
and to be a six foot track, so as to open
an unbroken wide gunge from New York to
this city. The proposed line, as we under
stand it, passes down the Valley of the
Alleghany say to Warren,Pa., thence in
to Ohio by Warren and avena, and on to
intersect the Pennsylvania and Ohio Road
at Wooster or Mansfield, branching, south
west to this city. Should this line strike
Wooster or Loudonville, it will, probably,
take the route thrqggh Mount Vernon,
Delaware and SprinOeld in this direction,
and will make a pretty direct route from
this city to Olean.
This isau important project, and we nre
informed that it is based on existing char
ters in Ohio (granted under the old Con
stitution„ and in Pennsylvania and New
York. We are not now able to refer to
the precise provision of the charters allu
ded to, or to give their dates or titles; but
we suppose that the whole extent of the
proposed line within the State of New
York, and for some considerable distance
within the State of Pennsylvania, will be
over the route of the Allegheny Valley
road, from Pittsburgh to Olean, and with
in Ohio, will pass some thirty or forty
miles south of the Lake-shore in the Wes
tern Reserve, diverging gradually farther
south. Should the St. Louis track be laid
on the wide guage, it may happen that a
continuous line of wide gunge road may
connect the cities of St. Louis, Cincinnati,
and New York.
Advertising—The Key to Success.
The policy of advertising is now more
generally appreciated and practised than at
any other period in our history. It is now
a rare occurrence for a merchant to become
extensively known and prove signally pros
perous, who neglects the great medium of
communication with his fellow citizens and
his fellow countrymen—the PUBLIC PRESS.
The agencies of steam and the telegraph
are all-important at the present day. They
disseminate news at the earliest moment,
and they thus impart to the public jour
nals of the day an interest that did not at
tach to them in "olden time." The mill
ions are readers in 1852 and this is espe
cially true of this country. Not to be cor
rectly advised of passing events, is to be
lamentably deficient— especially as the
sheets of die press are scattered broadcast
daily and by the thousands. To read,
moreover, is to economise time as well as
money—and this applies not only to the
miscellaneous, but to the advertising col
umns of a widely circulated public journal.
Almost every description of goods is ad
vertised now, and "wants" of every class
are "set forth" in the newspapers. Bat
ton, then, consult these before going a
broad, than to occupy hours in wandering
through the thronged streets of a great ci
ty only to discover afterwards in sonic cor
ner of your favorite or family journal, the
very article that you were in search of !
MARTIN LUTHER'S WEDDING RING.-
A correspondent. of the New York Times,
states that Lieut. D., an officer of the U.
States Navy, recently met an aged German
in a jeweller's shop, near Broadway, who
had an old gold ring, which he offered for
sale. The ring attracted the attention of
Lieut. D., and he purchased it at an ad
vance of its nominal value. On inspection,
it was found to be the wedding ring of Lu
ther. It is in good condition, bearing lit
tle mark of chafing or extraordinary wear.
It is by no means massive—but, on the
contrary, slight and delicate in form—
Previous to its being shaped to the finger,
the plate was chased into a figure of the
Crucifixion, most delicately and beautifully
wrought, so that the cross and the para
phernalia appertaining, are distinctly visi
ble. On the centre of the body of the Sa
vior is inserted a ruby. The inside of the
ring bears this iscription, in bold letters,
in Germaa text :
"MARTIN LUTHER, (JATIIARINE DE BORE ;
13th Jan., 1525.".
ANOTHER SPIRITUAL,
Joel G. Sever, form'ally a Representative
to the Louisiana Legislature from Now
Orleans, ex-minister, ex-temperance lec
turer, &c., has become a medium for the
spirits of the other world to communicate
with the dedizons of this. At a meeting
of the New York Conference for the inves
tigation of spiritual phenomena, held on
the evening of the 3d ult., and the pro
ceedings of which are published in the
Spiritual Telegraph, the worthy Colonel
gives an account of his conversion to the
new doctrine. 4
tr.rßishop Janes administered a severe
rebuketo the practice of young clergymen,
smoking-cigars.abont-the . streets, and tapeeially in the vestibules of the church': He,
eatnlted them to break off from a habit so
injurious to health and undignified in a
Christian minister. "Suppose," said the
Bishop, "a painter were to draw Paul,
Appollos, and Cephas with cigars in their
months, you would say at once that an
enethilmd done it."

CELEI3RA TED GERMAN BITTERS,
Prepared by
DR. C. M. JACKSON,
AT THE. GERMANMEDICINE' STORE,
120 Arch Street. Philadelphia.
Their power over the above diseases is not ex
celled—if equalled—by any other preparation in
the United States, as the cures attest, in many
cases after skilful physicians had failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of inva
lids. Possessing great virtues in the rectification
of diseases of the Liver and lesser glands, exer
cising the most searching powers in weakness and
affections of the digestive organs, they are withal,
safe, certain and pleasnnt.

Dr. Boa/land's Celebrated German Bitters for
the cure of Liver Complaint. Jaundice, Dyspepsia,
Chronic or Nervous Debility, is deservedly one of
the most popular medicines of the day. These
Bitters have been used by thousands, and a friend
et our elbow says he had himself received an effec
tual and permanent cure of Liver Complaint from
the use of this remedy. We are convinced that,
in the use of these Bitters, the patient constantly
gains strength and vigor—a fact worthy of great
consideration. They are pleasant in test and
smell, and can be used by persons with the most
delicate stomachs with safety, under any circum
stances. We are speaking from experience, and
to the afflicted we advise their use.
"SCOTT'S WEEKLY," ono of the best Literary
papers published, said Aug. 25-
“DR. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS, manu
factured by Dr. Jackson, see now recommended
by some of the most prominent members of the
faculty as an article of much efficacy in cases of
female weakness. As such is the case, wo would
advise all mothers to obtain a bottle, and thus save
themselves' much sickness. Persons of debilitated
constitutions will find those Bitters advantageous
to their health, as we know from experience the
salutary effect they have upon weak systems.”

The Hon. C. D. LimLyra, Mayor of the city
of Camden, N. J., says :
