on former occasiofl sod in the opinion of your committee should still bear a proportion of the expense of sustaining it until its own means are sufficient The annual reports of the managers render it

objects of its benevokse Itisosdera and proprietors Mach time and labor is spent in dze managementof its affairs MI of which is gratuitously bestowed the same remark atilt apply to the clergyman who officiate in the institution as well as the medical gentlemen who are constantly in attendance on all occasions when their servicee are required The committee have seen and conversed with several

indoored to that institution for the respectable station they a ow hold in society Wills a view to remove all objections which may exist on the question of committal without trial yktry the committee report a bill which they trust will meet the views of the Legisla turd' and avoid the odium of a conviction in a criminal court the effects of which are so sensibly felt by the youthful mind end instead of producing reformation generally tends to harden and confirm their vicioos habits The committee cannot dismiss the subject without a posit notice of the qualifications of Mr Edwin Young superintestiont and atm Catharine Shirlock matron for the stations by them respectively occupied opportunity was not of course afforded to become so intimately acquainted with those indiiiduals as would ena- ble us to do full justice to thorn from personal intrcourse but we must sty that intelligence benevolence and a proper union of firmness and benignity mark the whole deportment of each and

writer over the signature of Vigilant" states (deriving hill information froni the Pittsburgh Stateeman) that sorne enterprising gentlemen ot Pittsburgh are about starting a new daily line of elegant Canal Packets and Rail Road Cars to run from this city to Pittsburg in three days and a hall" It is true that such a line of Packets and Rail Road Cars as "Vigilant" speaks of will be started with the opening of the navigation to run between the eastern and western eill ponums of this state in the time stated but it it a mis- take that this line has been established by the "enter prising gentlemen of Pittsburgh-1' It is a singular fact notwithstanding the paramount interest the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh havein the estabishment of such a medium ot communication as the one noticed by "Vigilant" not one dollar of the stock (so far as the writer of this article knows) is owned by any person resident in either of the before named cities This fact is not mentioned in a spirit of censure for I believe no opportunity was afforded to the citizens of those public spirited places to take part in this enterprize but it is stated with a view to correct the error into -which "Vigilant" has fallen The stock holders are residents of Harrisburg bowistown Huntingdon Springfield Furnace and Hollidaysburg But it is believed the "gentlemen ot Pittsburgh" and Philadelphial will make up for the want of a primary interest in this undertaking of great moment to them by patronizing the "Line" and all proper in fluence to sustain it" It is called "the Pioneer Line" and the Company which owns it is kncwn bv the name of "the Columbia and Pittsburgh Packet "Boat Company" The proprietors have spared no expense to establish a line which will do credit io the state and convey passengers from the east to the west and with more comfort to the traveller than can be afforded by any other means of convey ance and with as much speed- The boats are fitted up in a style equal to any of the New York boats and each will be drawn by three first rate horses The boarding and accommodations will be the best the country can afford The Railways from Phila delphia to Columbia and Hollidaysburg (across the Allegheny mountain) to Johnstown will respectively be petered over by day light affording to the eye of the traveller a view ot as fine a country betwetm Phila delphia and Columbia as ever the sun shone upon and of as romantic and picturesque scenery passing Over the Allegheny mountain as the greatest admirer of nature sublimity could desire A view alone of the great "Horse Shoe Bend" of the Conemaugh river end of the "Great Viaduct" crossing it is worth the ride from Philadelphia to that point The Via duct stretches across the river with but one span constructed of cut stone eighty feet in height Be: fore approaching it from the east you pass along the margin of the river for a considerable distance when the stream strikes an angle of a rocky bluff peninsula and passing off to tne left leaving the base of the craggy chit apparently bids you a final adieu but here the rail road cuts through the isthmus and following its track about twenty perches your astonished eyes behold the river again right in front eighty feet below the point of observation and immediately you find yourself on the viaduct which unites two mountains on opposite sides of the river (by a work of art as durable as the mountains themselves and not surpassed in beauty by any thing of the kind) the stream flowing so far below you that for a moment you feel as if Alladin's Lamp had been performing its offices in your presence The river traverses about three and miles of distance from the time it leaves you on the one side of the neck of land until it meets you again almost instantly on the other By tunnelling the isthmus at a point a little below the viaduct immense water power could be obtained The tunnel would only be about twenty perches long Following the rad road about four miles further west you pass through a tunnel 900 feet in length In short the prnprietors of the "Pioneer Line" may with safety promise that every variety of landscape from the smiling field to the valley to the frowning steep of the and the proudest monuments ot art which the world can boastshall gratify the taste of those who may sojourn for "three days and a half in their Packets et Cars from Philadelphia to Pittsburg Philadelphia is Ereatly interested in the success of the enterprising efforts of the gentlemen of Dauphin Mifilm and Huntingdon counties who have afforded so desirable a means of conveyance from the east to the west The hope is cherished by those gentlemen that a considerable portion ot the travelling which heretofore has passed from the Eastern States up through the State of New York and through the Lakes to the western country may be diverted through Philadelphia and by the Pennsylvania Rail Roads and Canals to Pittsburgh- The distance to a large portion of the western country will be much shorter and the mode of conveyance will now be equally as comfortable as any through the territory of our rival sister It is hoped therefore that Philadelphians will see their interest in petromsing the Pioneer Line and circulating as widely as possible a knowledge of the i acilities affords These Pack eta will carry no freight so that travellers will not be incommoded for want of space for "locomotion" nor will they have their patinee tired by slowness of pro gression The motto of the Company is "Go ahead" JUSTITIA have to add another to the Many warnings which are of almost daily occurrence in this country of the fatal danger which attends the careleu handling of fire-arms Jahn Jehtiem (of Petersburg Virginia) aged between 17 and It years left his home on Saturday morning last for the purpose of gunning and in crossing a ditch in a meadow is supposed to have supported himself on the musket with which he was armed (which we understand he always carried cocked in the field) and in making his leap the piece was di charged and the whole contents lodged in his side The unfortunate youth was able to proceed about one hundred yards after the accident when it is supposed that faint with the loss of blood he fell on his hands and knees in which situation he ex pired and was found a short time Petersburgh paper 1

Zahm Mr Jacob Bear merchant of Springville to Mist Barbara Powell of the former place REPORT (Nth Committee appointed to visit and examine into the affairs and management of the House of Refuge Mr LAW1117104 Read in the Howe of Re3p5 rese ots uves Marc is 24 The committee appointed by a resolution of the of the eighteenth De- ctubstrolitsf R4epreeento vaitat tisT'd examine into the Milan's and management of the House of Refuge situate in the county of Philadelphia and to make report toucbing its usefulness end economy and also report how far the present organization of the House of Refuge is conformable to the principles of its original establishment and also how far the imprisonment of persons in that institution without the verdict of a jury is conformable to the letter and spirit of the constitution" lintirr VIV 1 That in obedience to saidlresolution the committee met in the city of Philadelphia and having made known to the board lf managers the object of their visit and having furnished them with a copy of the resolution under which they stud every facility was promptly and cheerfully afforded by the board to enable the committee to discharge the duties of their appointment The committee proceeded first to examine the buildings of the institution its inmates thelinenner in which they are fed and clothed the kind of labor in which they are employed and the system of government and discipline adopted by the managers The inquiry contained in the resolution "How far the present organiution of the Howie of Refuge is conformable to the principles outs original establishment" will be answered by a reference to the original design of the founders of this benevolent institution the law by which it was incorporated and the facts which will be hereafter detailed The House of Refuge has been justly termed a place for the rerormation of "juvenile delinquents" It originated in the best feelings of the heart It is eivork of charity It wu established at first by individual liberality and enterprise and it is in a great measure conducted and sustained by the same liberal and philanthropic spirit It was incorpora led by an act of the Legislature in 1826 An appropriation of ten thousand dollars was granted by the State and by the same act ten thousand dollars were directed to be paid by the commissioners of the county of Philadelphia out of the county funds for defraying the expenses of a site and building a 'house of refuge' and also five thousand dollars for repairs and incidental expenses The buildings are substantial and their arrangements judicioue The inmates present a healthy appearance their clothing is comfortable and their fare is abundant and wholesome Their labor is suited to their age and but not severe Their government so far as the nature of the case will allow is parental They have their regular hours of labor and instruction while every attention is paid to induce habits of industry the greatest possible care is bad for their intellectual improvement The ordinary branches of an English education are better acquired in the House of Refuge than in many of our country schools These remarks will apply to both the male and female departments The committee were pleased to witness the great attention paid by the managers in affording the means of moral and religious instruction Stated periods are set apart for devotional exercise: the duty is performed with proper solemnity and the most respectful attention is paid by all classes Ministers of different denominations attend and preach alternately every Sabbath The dav is spent in giving' and receiving instruceous of the most useful kind and these duties appear to be performed by all concerned with pleasure and profit The number of inmates at present is of males one hundred and three of females fifty four A very great proportion of the children in the House of Refuge are orphans Of the females there are nearlythree fourths who have no parents and such as have in most instances derive no advantages from them To this unfortunate class the advantages of This institueon are peculiarly adapted Here their vicious tempers and habits are minds of virtue inculcated and not a few who were in the broad road to ruin have been rescued from destruction and prepared for urefulness and are now filling respectable piaces in society Some of these instances have come under the special notice of your committee and are referred to as an evidence to show that the benevolent designs of the founders of this instittn tion have been realized in reclaiming youthful offenders from the disgrace and ruin consequent on a confinement in a jail or penitentiary to which their vicious practices would unavoidably have brought them The comuittee will now refer to that part of the resolution which requires them to report 'glow far the imprisonment of persons in the House el Refuge without the verdict of a jury is conform- able to the letter and spirit of the constitution" The committee do not think it necessary at this time to go into a full examination of this important and diffica It question The institution bas been under the management and direction of some of i be ablest jurists of the State and they do not believe that any act would be done or encouraged by them which would be in violation of the constitution However it is highly probates that in their laudable zeal to promote and effect the philanthropic end of the institution some acts may have been done either in the committal of inmates or in the duration and cause of their confinement inconsistent 'with the letter and spirit of the con stitution: It is however the unanimous opinion of the committee that if such errors have been commit-led they were of the head sad not of the heart because they believe the managers were actuateli by no ether than the most laudable zeal an ardent and patriotic zeal to rescue youth fel delinquents from a course of conduct which would if unrestrained lead them to inevitable misery degradation and ruin The committee is aware that there are conflicting opiiiions on this subject but Ihey believe that any argument of theirs won't' be unnecessary anti superfluous as the whole question has been ably stated and examined in the opinion delivered by Judge Rog in the case of the Commonwealth ex relati ne Joseph agelnat M'Keagy superintendent in the first voleme of Ashmesd's Reports and by a paper signed by Messrs Joseph 11 Ingersoll end John Sergeant laid on the desks of member The corn mittee have prepared a bill accompanying this report which they believe will restrain the institution within the 'spirit of the eiinsitution' and laws and will at the same time throw on obstacles in the accomplishment of its laudiblel end To enable the manager of the institution to carry their designs into effect and continue to society the benefits of the House of Refuge heavy expenses have been incurred which must be provided for Individual contributions have been very liberal and are still so some die bequests have been Oven whch are unavailable at present but will in a short time add much to its means It will be recolleeted that the benefits of the institution are not confined to the city and county of Philattelphia-- -its donee are thrown open to the unfortunate objects to the institution from every county in the -many -or- which have availed them --Slate selves of its advantages for this resson and Minns the Commonwealth has contt ibuted to AK Extract of a letter to the Editor dated Haniussueo March 25th 1835 Dear was some sparring here to-day on the bill incorporating the Savings institution for Lancaster The city members generally kook part opposing the 5th secnon which permits the institution to Joan money on promissary nOttiik Reigart of Lancaster Stevens of Adams and Cox of Somerset advocated this provision and I Scitith Reed and Smith opposed it The following re- marks were made by Mr Smith MrSpetiker I am free to confess I can see no great harm the passage of this bill I am rather inclined to foster and encourage these institutions than otherwise I would be willing to charter them under certain restrictions but when I am supporting a "Savings Institution" I dont wish to eupport a beak in disguise as this certainly ifi The yertdisman trona Soulusaput has endeavored to sustain hut argument by a reference to the Baltimore Savings Bantu he could not have hit upon a more forcible argument in support of the position I have taken and I will ask him at once how stands that matter with respect to the Baltimore Savings Bank of which he has spoken? flow stands it sir? Blown up air! Blown up sky high long as the depositors can but too well testily Yes eirl broken up and how was this? Let the dePositore answer that let common sense answer She loan4 her money on promissory notes and not on real estate That is the is the true utilise had the money been loaned on real securities there could have been none of this Pie sir no dill culty could accrue in that Let the money be loaned on real estate and there will be no danger will be no risk Mr Speaker I dont want to see this property jeoparded: these scanty earnings I want to sea made safe by substantial mvestments The gentleman has also said he understands the subject of banking quite as well as some of the members from the city who have spoken on that subject Why sir the gentlemen need not tell us that he need not tell us that sir: we all know that There is not a gentleman on this floor but what knows it well Nobody doubts that gentleman's knowledge Sir nobody can doubt it Why sir after the able display that gentleman tnedn allay or two since when the subject was before the House no body could doubt his knowledge sir nobody doubts that at is so notorious Now as the gentleman from Adams has said ifyou lend your money on bond or mortgage depositors will have to wait for their money they cant get it when they want it does not that gentleman know? I say does he not know that the daily receipts are more than ample to meet the daily demands Besides sir the depositors are bound 'to give two weeks notice to the Institution before they can draw the money The gentleman's notions may be very good theoretically but I prefer the salutary lemons of experence Give me the practical results None of your notions of theory for me when I concerne to the practical results By you can get down into real life at once I have no disposition sir to protract this debate but sir I should be unjust to myself were I not to notice a remark which fell from the gentleman from Lancaster He says be knows why the opposition prod coeds from a certain quarter He knows why so much warmth is exhibited by the members from the City" It is he says in consequence of the course pursued by hit by that gentleman himself a law days ago on an important subject Se tor sir as such remarks are intended to apply to me I utterly disclaim every thing of the sort Nothing but a high sense of my dem as a Legislator impels met and if that gentleman supposes I am governed by any Other motive be does ern know me Now ittr with respect to that gentleman's enures here nobody complains be is not accused but it he has any pangs of conscience any -misgivings for his party conduct why let the 'felled jade wince my withers are unwrutig" A FAIR A fair is to be held in the old

unimportant subjects when all interest and attention here was absorbed by one of the most tragical and astounding events ever recorded in lit erary biography You may rely on every particular I am now oboist to relate I know all the parties know all circnnistances by direct authorised to communicate them to most anxious to do so without the loss of a single moment lest misrepresent tions should find their way into the English Papers You have at least beard by fame and name of Dr S--Custos of the Royal Libraryat Berlin distinguish ad as a scholar by his edition of'Pacuvil Doulorestes' as a poet by his collection of Greek Songs and his 'Bilder des Orients' He married four or five years since a highly accomplished and amiable young lady Mies ofLeipsig They lived most happily together but had no faintly Her whole time and attentions therefore were devoted to him his success his fame his happi ness engrossed all hsr thoughts During the summer of 1833 they travelled together through Russia and return ed le Berlin delighted with the scenes they had passed through and full of enthusiasm and new literary projects But soon after the husband was taken ill His disorder was peculiar and the physicians expressed their fears that his mind would be ultimately affected In the autumn of last year they visited together the baths of Rissinget but he did not derive from them the benefit anticipated They were detained on their return by illness at Hanover and only reached Berlin late in the season but as soon as he arrived he resigned his situation of Custom of the Royal Library that he might enjoy undisturbed the quiet of domestic life and recover if pos sible his health A friend and one whom I had intrude cedhad often spoken to them of the beautiful environs of our habits manners and social life Led by his description and perhaps a wish under circumstances to change the ecene they had resolved to spend the next summer in our little town This was especially her plan and in arranging for and talking over the contemplated change the time passed until the 29th of December when the Doctor went to a public concert Ile expressed his intention of leaving it before a symphony of Beethoven's should be perfbrmed fearing that it would be too much fisr him and try his weak nerves too severely Hie wife permradedstim to the ostitrary: he grail lied andcheered by returned home futile( his plans for the next summer When be entered his lodgings be found all in confusion During his absence she having previously dressed herself all in white had killed herself had pointed a dagger to her heart and with a re solved spirit struck a sure blow and expired The maidservant who heard her ntietrese fall finding both doors which led to her chamber fastened called for the landlord On forcing an entrance they found her dead The unfortunate husband arrived at this me meat The following letter written with a firm hand upon a sheet of common paper lay upon the "More unhappy than thou hest been thou canst not be my most beloved' happier thou mayst become with real misfortune Thre is often a wouderftil blessing in Mit- will surely find it so We suffered together ma sorrow thou knowest how I suffered in silence no re putsch ever came from much host thou loved me It will be better for better Why?
