The unproductive character of the stock of ferent sections of our country, who had taken the pains to inform themselves of the magni- tude of this work, and the eharacter of the country through which it passes. Probably no great public highway of the kind in the Union has the advantages of a more fertile region of country from which to ob- tain its supplies of trade. in the way of And in addition to all this, its western terminus is situated in the midst of the inexhaustible coal fields of the Alleghanies, and its eastern terminus is sur- rounded by markets anxious for, and with means and facilities amply sufficient to ac- r cent. more trade of the first-mentioned character, than now passes over it, and a continual! -inereasing vantages, one would suppose that its stock would take rank among the most safe and profitable in the land; that it would be eagerly sought after, and find a The very opposite is the fact; for, notwithstand- ing the length of time it has been in opera- tion, and the great advantages it has for ob- tainirg a heavy trade, and thus become a paying concern, we have yet to hear of the man who has received the first red cent in the vested in its construction. And why is it that rofit to the stock and It has capacities for the accommodation of almost any reasonable amount of trade. It has the advantages of as profitable markets as can be found in tho The fault, as we before remarked, dees Scores cf persons are anxious to engage in the coal and other trade upon it, but have hith- erto been deterred from doing so by the al- mest certainty that continually stares them in the face of sinking their money if they do 80, through the negligence or mismanagement of those entrusted with the general superin- terdence of the work The question then ariser, is there no way of remedying this ery- position upon those holding the bonds and stock of the company. We think there is; and we believe that when the people of Maryland and the bond and stockhoulers once have their eyes opened to the manner in which this great work is man- and are put in possession of some of the reasons why it is not meeting the anticipa- tions of its projectors, they will raise about the ears of the Maryland State agents avd the directors such a clamor for re orm, that they will be compelled to adopt suitable and proper regulations for its management, not- withstanding they may, in so doing, come in contact with the interests of some place-seek- ing politicians who have heretofore used it almost entirely for the promotion of their own reat injury of hun- honest poisons who have either invested their money in its con- struction, in trade upon it, or inthe lands and coal and other mines along its line.

Hoe was the last annuitant of the Exchequcr Tontine, of $100 « share, for which he received £3000 a year for many hog past. Hoe had property in almost every und, and such was the immense wealth, that the dividends on most of his stocks have not been reccived since 1788, nor the interest on his mortgages for a longtime. In his iron chest, the key of which could not be found till after a long search,—hid in a mortgage deed,— there were bank notes of the year 1738 to the amount of £19,000, and several thousand new guineas. About £20,000 wore found in woney and bank notes at his town and county houses, and also a key to the chest containing his mother’s plate and valuables, which is de- posited at Childs the banker’s, and has never been opened since bis decease. He is ro- ported to have always kept £50,000 in his banker’s hands for any sudden emergency, and had not drawn a drafton the Bank for the last 14 years Io never till very lately employed aregularsteward. Not many years since, an eminent attorney of Suffolk @ifered his assistance at his audit, thinking the fa- tigue too great for Mr. Jennings’ age; but he was answered, What! Do you think I can’t write? He was very regular and exact in all his accounts, insomuch that he even noticed his household bills exceediog in the usual week - ly amounts. His expenses were supposed not above £3000 per year, although his property, it is thought, cannot fall far short of two mil lion pounds. It appears that he had very faithful servants, who will be all well provi- ded for. A will was found in his coat pocket sealed, but not signed, which was owing, as his favorite servant says, to his master’s leav- ing his spectacles at home, when he went to his Solicitor for the purpose of duly executing it, and which he afterwards forgot to do Quite a nnmber of the Jennings claimants reside in Virginia, and those bearing that name throughout the country have held nu- merous ineetings, and gone to considerable trouble and expense to establish their claim to this enormous property, but thus far quite fruittess. A Goraic Corrace —A colored gentleman who has made a few thousand dollars either in the shaving or blasking business, we are not certain which, purchased him a lot of land in one of the cities adjoining Boston, and applied to an architect near his location to make him « plan of a Gothic cottage with all the modern improvements, to be called Lilly Pond Lodge. Accordingly the plan wasdrawn, and submitted to the inspection of the ‘ re- tired merchant.” He shook his head with some dissatisfaction “It am all werry pretty,’’ said he, ‘de barrustrades at de windows, de pizarrer in front, de obserwationary on de top, but whar’s de wrres ?”’ ‘“ Wires! what wires?’’ said the architect, a little chagrined. *P’raps habn t hit onde tucknical neme, sar.”’ replied the colored merchant, slightly offended in his turn; “but you most sartin know what I means! Well, sar, as you don’t know, I will obsarve dat it am become ds fashion in Boston to decorate the roof wid too horizontaller wires.’’ ‘* Phat is the telegraph,’’ said the archi- tect, scarcely able to suppress alaugh. “This is a Gothio——” He was interrupted by his colored friend with considerable complacency : ‘I ticipates wot all you is drivin at—one is de Gofic, de oder de Tolumgraph order ob architecture. Blend de two in one, sar, and = de wire on de top ob Lily Pond Lodge, or must ’spectfully decline de plan.’’ The result was that the cottage will be built with the wires on the top.”’ A Cagar Hor-Bep --We commend the fol- lowing plan for starting plants for early use tothe attention of all f zaaceeo who are not provided with ahot bed. It is an excellent plan for starting cucumber and melon vinos, whether late orearly. It is from a corres- pondent ot the The Rual New Yorker : ** After leveling down the top of the heap of horse stable manure, where it was heated, I covered it with pieces of rich turf taken from the edge of the barnyard, cut into square of five or six inches, and placed grass side down. I planted my seeds in these pieces of turf so that each piece would make a hill ; then when it was time to transplant, I just removed eaeh piece of tuef toa place prepared for it in the garden without disturbing the plants in the least. I never saw plants grow 80 fast before, and not one of them was injured by the bugs, while some planted in the usual way were destroyed by them. For the con- venience of transplanting, I should think that turf would be better than loose earth to put on any hot bed ” Aw Epiror —At a recent festival given by the Printers in Boston, the following truthful and sensible toast was made: The Editor—The man who is expected to know everything, tell all he knows, and guess at the rest; to make oath to his own good character, establish the reputation of his neighbors, and elect all candidates to office ; to blow up everybody, suit everybody, and reform the world; to live for the benefit of others, and have the epitaph on his tomb- stone, ‘ Here he /ies his last ;*’ in short, he is a locomotive running on the track of public notoriety ; his lever is his pen, his boiler is filled with ink, his tender is his scissors, and his driving wheel is public opinion ; whenever he explodes it is caused by the non-payment of subscriptions.

A Mr. Bach- tell, from Medina, Ohio, was introduced to a Miss Duquet, of Chatham, Chester county about four o'clock in the afternoon Bf the 16th ultimo, and married her within three hours afterwards. Both are said to be worthy and respectable persons, but very lively. They were jesting upon the subject of matrimony, when she. ingly, ‘‘ popped the question, to which he acceded.
