STEALING ON CREDrr.--A. farmer IN
this State was once greatly puzzled by the
sudden disappearance of his sheep. One
after another was missed from the flock,
without any solution Of the mystcry--un.
til at last, his suspicious rested on one OF
his neighbors. Accordingly, as the sheep
disappeared, one was entered on the book
against the suspected man, and the Prce
carried out. At the end of year, the
bill was sent to him; and without making
any words on the subject, he prudently
paid it. Another year passed, and the
absence of great number of sheep had
added numerous items to anew bill, winch
was presented as on the year previous
This time, however, the lover OF mutton
dcrnurred; and insisted on its being re-
duced; protesting that he had not taken
an eighth part Of the number charged 70
him. But the creditorinsisted upon every
.farthing. aWell,n said sleepy, "lt must W
pay, ! suppose i must; but the tact7is,
some scamp has been stealing on my
credit. IN. II. Register. - y

they can be longer avoidedby a continued
reduction in the public engagements,

Of any permanent public debt whatever,

.IMPoRTANT APPARATUS FOR RAILWAYS.
IA notice appearsin the Railway Times
of an apparatus which seems likely to
contribute essentially to the safety of rail-
way travelling. 1t is a plan for enabling
the guard of a train tgenererally very
intelligent oficerO to communicate with
the engine driver for the purpose of stop
ping the train. The contrivance consists
Of a wrought iron or copper tube fixed
under the centre, of each carriage, and
passing under the tender to the engine
In each of these tubes is inserted a.me-
tallic rope, every separate division being
connected by ropes of less strength, with
catch=nooks at both ends, so contrived
that they.may be attached or detached in
very few seconds. The one end of
the rope is connected with a whistle upon
the engine, and the other, by means of
certain simple machinery, passes up to
the seat of the principal guard on the top
of any particular carriage, andis SO ar
ranged that by the turning Of wirch,
the steam is let in upon the whistle already
referred to, the sound of which can only
be stopped by the act of the driver. The
sound Of the whistle differs, of course,
from that in ordinary use. The advan-
tages to- be expected from the efficient
working of an apparatus of this kind are
too obvious to require enumeration. Hlth.
erto there have been no certain means OF
communication between the guards and
the persons uponthe engine.
