Our village for the last ten days or more has exhibited a scene never before witnessed by myself, nor indeed by anyone with whom I have conversed. Nor could I have been made to believe it possible, to arouse the feelings of our citizens to that state of constant inquiry and apparent anxiety on the subject of religion, as was manifested during those days. In every part of the village, business was either partially suspended, or wholly at a standstill — stores were frequently all closed — public houses, shops, &c. were either closed or passed unobserved — people were seen in groups in every direction, all absorbed in the general inquiry. In short, it appeared like a week of Sabbaths or the day of an eclipse. To the writer of this, it was like a mighty torrent sweeping all before it. Meetings still continue. Let it result as it may, the appearance of our village is changed, for the better so far, no one denies, between neighbors — joined in mildness the hands of enemies, and given an example of charity, and kind feeling between families who for the first time learnt they were neighbors — Union.

THOUSANDS OF SHAD AT SUNBURY - The Sunbury Beacon of Monday the 26th of April says, "Not less than from four to five thousand shad were caught on Saturday last within a quarter of a mile below the dam. Upwards of five hundred were taken by one dip net and several others averaged two and three hundred each. We understand that several hundred were caught with dip nets yesterday."

TIOGA COUNTY COAL - A bed of stone coal has been discovered on Wilson's Creek, Tioga County, about seven miles south of Wellsborough. It has been opened, and quantities of coal have been taken out, which are represented to be of good quality. One stratum is five feet thick. The beds are situated about one mile from the summit level of the ridge dividing the north and west branches of the Susquehanna, the country presenting great facilities for either a canal or railroad.

CANAL CELEBRATION - The Lewisburg Cross Cut, consisting of a dam across the river, three locks, and about three-fourths of a mile of canal, making a complete communication between Lewisburg and the West Branch Canal, being this day, (October 26th, 1833,) finished; and upon letting the water pass from the canal into the river, a large number of citizens collected to witness the operation of an improvement in which all appeared to feel a common interest. It was proposed that a meeting be organized at the house of Col. Christian Shroyer, for the purpose of making a public expression of sentiment relative to those concerned in procuring for us this improvement. Lewisburg Chronicle
