During last sum mer we hul frequent occasion to notice the progress of a railroau survey from the. mouth of Bonnet's Branch, on the Siiinciuahonin-r. at the Driftwood Sta. tiou. on the Philadelphia & Erie Rail road, to Franklin ou the Allegheny River, tlicn to connect with the Lake Shore Branch to Franklin, on the At lantic k ft mat Western. That .survey has been finished and the route has proved to bo entirely satisfactory. The gradients do not exceed iu any place 40 feet per mile, or tho curves G degress. As soon as the report comes to hand we will lay it before our readers. During the past week two corps of engineers arrived io town and both par. ties commenced work ou last Wednes day. The corps under Mr. M'Minn to (o locate tho preliminary survey of last summer, and he immediately proceeded locate, break ground, and formally take possession of the line. Tho other corps under Col. P. Jarret, proceeded in tho same directum, to make a prjliniimry purvey on the same ground passed over by Mr. M'Minn. Both parties win to entertain the most friendly relations tow.irJscach other, and no difference of opinion ate manifested to the uninitiated. Rumor, however, says, the first party is under the direction of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, but this we are au. thorized to contradict. The Bennett Branch and Franklin survey, made last summer, was an independent arrange ment, aud was ma lo in srood faith, with a determination to immediately proceed to its construction. Tho corps under "'ol. Jarreit is making a survey for the Central Western R. 11. Co.. link of tho Atlantic & Great Western R. V-. Co. We do not know vhat will be tho re suit of these two surveys, but hope there will be no conflicting interest, and that we will get a railroad in the quickest possible, time. We extend a hearty welcome to the different corps, und hope us we believe, a first rate route is before h-m, and they will find no difficulties in their route. GrThe holidays are close at hand and our dealers are preparing to meet the w nits of tho season. The largest and hot t-.tock of goods for this trade will be found at l-ner& Duriress, eon. letitinaty establishment, Erie, Pa. They manufacture and keep everything in tho Cindy lino, as well as a general asi-.ortiiient of Notions, Toys, ece. Everybody knows them by the repu. tatiou of their Cough Candy Moss and Elm.

We deem it to be our duty to say to our readers, that the most implicit re. liance can be placed in Coe's Cough ?alsam. It will euro your children of crcup, and yourself of any cough, cold, sore throat, or pulmonary affection. It is the cheapest and best preparation in the market.

We say to those who are suffering from dyspepsia, con stipation, siur stomach, or any disorder ot the trial. stomach or bowels, give it a Panic Among the kers, Dressma- j The recent ruling of certain clauses ! of the Internal Revenue Laws, and tho j determination to abide strictly by tho construction nut unon them by those I irullv entitled to enforce such claims, has spread consternation throughout the ranks of tho milliners and dressmakers in the city and country. j It is known that a tax ot six per cent , is levied upon all mauutaetureu articles, but it has not been generally understood to what extent this would bear upon the dressmaking -and clothing interest generally. Not only six per cent charged upon tho receipts of dress, maker and milliner for their labor, but upon tho cost of all the materials that p.i-s through their hands. Thus, for instance, the value of a rich dress may range from one to five hundred dollars, ut out of this the charge lor making is only twenty or thirty ; the dressmaker, iwever, is not only charged with a tax of six per cent., upon her labor, but up on tho entire value of the material, which has already, in 1 lie hands of the dry goods merchant, paid a foreigu or do. inrstic duty. Ihisisuot only severo ana oppres. sive, but it is destructive to the entire trade interest. Ladies will not have to ay so heavy at:ix, dressmakers caunot exact u. sis iu many lusiuuuus n mi. weighs not only their prolits, but the whole cost ot making, and rather than submit to Mich extortion, ladies will have their dresses made at home. Take, tor iu.-tauoe, a velvet dress, tho value of which, with trimmings, would oe 8-30'J ; the cost of making this would oe, perhaps, S-t, tho taxes $31,50, rais. hilt the diessina'.ter's charge, iu itself moderate, to the exoibitant sum of $5ti, 3U. When it is remembered that the material, has already paid a foreign du. ty of ninety per cent., which doubled e"ut to the purchaser, tne prcpostcr- ous injustice of the claim will be made apparent. There arc, to bo sure, private dress makers who never pay any government fax ; who hang out no sign ; whoso busi ness is carried on secretly and behind closed doors; who work for ordinary prices, and whom ladies may covertly rintronizn. But what a nreiuiun this offers to dishonesty of every description ! It is into such hands that the entire business will be thrown, to tho ruin of hundred and thousands of honest, de serving, pains-taking, industrious wo men. .V. Y norhl. LEG A L A D VER T1SEMFNTS.
