BALTIMORE. March IL.

The experiment Of the transporta-
ton Of two hundred barrels of -four,
with siagie horse, was made on the
rail road on Saturday with the most
triumphant success. The -four was
deposited in train of eight cars, and
made, together with the cars and the
passengers who rode on them, an en-
tire load of thirty tons.
The train was drawn By one horse
from Elheott's Minis to the relav-house,
six and a half miles, in forty SIX min
utes- The horse was then changed,
and the tram having again set out,
reached the depot on Pratt street IN
sixty-nine uninutes-thus accomplish
ing the thirteen miles in one hour and
fifty FIVE minutes, or at the rate Of six
and thrce-fourths Of mile in an hour
The road between the delay-house and
the depot is a perfect level, except at
the three deep excavations where an
elevation of seventeen to twenty feet
per mile has been resorted to for the
purpose Of drainage. The horse, ex-
cept at the points Just alluded to,
brought the train along at moderate
trot. and apparently without any ex-
traordinary labor; he is not renarsa-
bic. and vas not selected, for any pc
culiar powers of draft and had per-
formed regasar trip outw ards on the
morning or Saturday. 4 numerous
copconrse of citizens ard strangers

depot ard although they looked for
the accomplishment of the experiment

III the ease and certainty withwhlch it
was effected. II is. we believe. only a
week ago that we noticed the fact OF
the transportation of seventy i've bar
rels of flour, by one horse, as circurn-
stance worthy of remark in comparri-
son with the number of horses requir-
ed for the conveyance of a load Of a
few barrels over turnpike road. The
experiment which we have detailed
above, shows that on Saturday single
horse drew three times as large load ;
and there is no doubt that horses could
be found who could, with the same
ease. transport a load of three hundred
barrels. And if such results as these
can be accomplished BY the power of a
single horse, who will undertake to cal-
cuiate the capacity Of our raj. road.

the strong feeling existing in this COM

females for debt. Two females of
good character, as We learn were com
United, on Wednesday last to the Jail
of this county; one, for debt of one
dollar and twenty cents, and the other
for debt ofthree dollars and seventy

and in a short time the sum necessary

citizens which will no doubt crafty

who had them imprisoned. The

dragged him off his horse, choked and
beat him severely, and robbed him of
sundry articles and small amount OF
money. The timely arrival of sea-
man TO his rescue. probably saved his
life, as they exhibited every disposition
to murder him. MIR. Mayo is much
bruised ard disabled. He entertains

GALvANssM.-The Boston Palladium
relates IN amusing and singular Incl
dent which il said to have occurred a
few evenings since, at n lecture room
in Boston. Some gaivanic expert
ments were to be- made, and large
dog being selected for the purpose, he
was executed about fifteen minutes be-
fore the commencement ofthe lecture.
II being necessary to expose muscles
or nerves to the action of the battery,
the dogs tail was then cut on. At
the first application Of the galvanic
power, Tray, who had only been stun
ned by the blows he had received from
the exeCutioDcr, reused himself, and,
with jump and growl, seized the
first man in his way by the calf of the
leg, and then, in spite of canes and
umbrellas, he ran, scattering blood
Profosely upon every body, to the door,
which the scientific company were
very glad to open for his escape.
