MODERN LUXURlES-MAGNiFICENT
RAIL ROAD CARS.

Yankee ingenuity is rarely moro plss.

arrangements for rail road travelling, or
which we have now in Rochester. mag
nihcent specimen--in the splendid trait, OF
passenger cars just launched for the ser
vice of the Sovereign People. on the Au-
burn and Rochester Rail Road.
There are six cars, designed to form
two trains. The cars are each % feet
long and fee; wide. The seats are we'll

arms for each chair, and chongeable backs

ed, with windows secured from jarrIng.
and with curtains to shield from the blax-
ing sun. We should have said rooms;
for, in four out OF the six cars, (the other
two being designed only for way passen'
pers,) there IS ladies' apartment, with
luxurious sofas for seats, and IN recesses
NAV be found a wash stand and other con.
veniences. The arrangement OF tho a.
par,ment for ladies, we consider the great.
est improvement and it will remedy some
serious objections that have hitherto ex-
isted against rail road travelling on tho
part of families. especially where any Of
n, members are in delicate health. Tho

The main saloon Of the cars, as their health
and inclinstion may require.
These cars are so hung on springs. and
are Of such large size, that they arc freed
from most of the jar, and especially from
the swinging motion so disagreeable on
most rail roads.
The lamp Of each car is so placed as 10
light inside and out and last though not
least, the brakers are so arranged as 10 be
applied readily and with great power
thus guarding against the danger OF eol'

ANOTHER BURGLAR KILLEp.-lt is a
somewhat strange coincidence that bur-
glar, while plundering the store Of Messrs.
Sellers & Davis, Third ST., Philadelphia,
was killed on the same nigh, and about
the same hour that Sutton the burglar was
killed, in his attempt to rob a house in
N. York. He had gotten into the store,
some noiso was made in an adjoining
house, when, being frightened, he with
his companions made their escape by way
Of the trap door. Being in rather hur-
ry. il is presumed, he missed ais hold and
fell from the house-top to the ground
When found, no was weltering in blood,
and in the last struggles Of death. On
his arm were the letters P. L. supposed
to be the initials Of his name. Thus per-
ished another in the very act Of crime. -
