BsD ENCOURAGEMENT FOR BOYS. The
Springfield Gazette states that two gentlmen
who met in Westie.d, at the dedication ofthe
Normal School House, last Thursday, were
recalling in conversation the occasion of their
first visits to that village. One of them was
the son of blacksmith, and was bred to the
trade of halter, but manifested strong
inclination for study, subsequently entered a
law office, and stated that he first came to
Westield at that time to take some de-
positions in apauper case, The othergentle-
man stated that his visit was connected with
pauper case also-he, too, was a poor boy,
and had come down from Sandisfeld, about
twenty-five miles, on foot, to see if he could
get some work in Westfeld. The chief
interest Of this statement is the fact that this
gentleman is now at the head Of a hoursihing
theological seminary in the eastern part of the
State, and the blacksmith's son, and hatter's
apprentice, is the Governor of the Com
monwealth.
These were not only industrious and en-
terprisng boys, but youths of unblemished
character And the honors that consequently

Low Fares upon Railroads,

AND THE CAMDEN AND AMBoY RAILROAD
We have long contended that the princi-
pie OF L0e0 fares upon our railroads is the only
correct one to enhance the value of the stock
and to increase the business of the road; and
ample experience has already been had in
this country, especially with the roads upon
our Atlantic cities, which have tried the ex-
pertinent, to determine this fact beyond a
question. There are some few exceptions
among the most important routes in the Unit
ed States, which still adhere to their estab-
lished exorbitant prices for carrying passen-
gers, to which we have hitherto had occasion
to alludc, and which are still the subjects of
great complaint among travellers. Our at
tention is again drawn to this matter, from
statements made in late eastern journals, in
reference to the effect of loac fares upon some
of the New England routes, and we take oc-
casion to commend this information to the
particular notice of the stockholders and man
ayers OF otherroutes, nearer home. The Bos-
ton Courier informs us, that during the sum-
mer of l845, the fares between Boston and
New York were reduced, by opposition, to
So, first class, and 81 62 1-2, second class
By recent arrangement, the rates have been
advanced to "a, and So so, or nearly doubled.
Upon comparison of corresponding months
soon after the change, the numbers and re-

more, and the receipts tecenty per cent. more,
during the season ofextremely depressed rates
and though the first named price is even be-
lop the estimate contended for [by the friends
to low fares upon this particular route, or for
that distance, yet the experiment shows a
proportionate gain over the higher price. n II
The fare between New York and Philadel-
phia is the most eXorbitant in the country.
This road maintains its price at four dollars
for distance of eighty eight miles, or about
40 cents per mile Now it has long been a
settled fact, that handsome profit will accrue
over well travelled route, at 2 1-2 cts. per
mile, and thousands of miles of routes, by
coach, cars or steamer in this country, are
now rendered profitable by charge not ex-
cecding this price. Yet the managers of the
route between this city and Philadelphia, adj
here to four dollars, when there can be no
doubt, were they to reduce the price to three
dollars, or even to two and half dollars, for
their first class passage, that tCO to one would
pass over the road, who go at the existing high
rate. 1t will not be questioned for moment
that the business men who are compelled to
visit New York, from Philadelphia, and vice
versa, once or twice year, would not 90 four
or five, or six times, in the same space of time
could they 60 at cheaper rate nor will it
be contendcd that strangers who are constant
ly visiting New York city, would not, in a
majority OF instances, extend their visit to
Philadelphia, were the fare anywhere within a
reasonable amount. -Roilrood Journal.

Our Railroad grading and bridging

Our Railroad grading and bridging is
going on finely on every prrt of the line
The Commissioners have just sanctioned the
road, and assessed the damages to within a
mile, or mile and half of Bellows Falls, and
would hsvc completed their work on that part
of the line had the engineers been fully
prepared for them. 1t is now probable the
bridge across the Connecticut to connect with
the Rutland road will be laid Just above the
present bridge, and the'depot located on the
island North of the dwelling house of Horace
Baxter, Esq. The Commissioners will meet
again on the 25th to locate the line across
portions ofour village not yet completed.
All who are not obliged to travel in stages
will very much rejoice when they can get out
ofour valley by railroad. The public stages
are often now dangerously crowded, and two
accidents of turning over have recently oc-
Cured, though no very serious injury, we are
glad to learn, has resulted In one which
occurred on Saturday, three ladies were
bruised, and one (on the top) actually thrown
over the fence. Besides the too common
overlooking of stages, there is a dangerous
propensity to crowd the tops unnecessarily,
when the body is not full While we say so
much, it is due to the drivers ON the several
lines to AMI from this town, to say that a stage
accident is very uncommon event, and that
they are not only obliging, but attentive and
careful. Nine inside and five outside, fill
every seat provided, with two on the drivers
scat; and when more offer, the propIietors
can we'll afford to provide extra conveyance,

One cannot help admiring the dexterity
with which Santa Ana contrives to keep at
the top of the wheel a good deal more than
half the time. His countrymen are SO fond
of revolutions that he probably considers as a
matter of course, that every government will
be overturned by force, but he takes care that
at least every other overturn shall be in his
favor, as he manages to cling to the helm
longer than his opponents, he is at the head
of the nation considerably more than half the
time. Imperialsts, Fcdcralists, Centralists,
and half dozen other istS-in one respect he
has been. remarkably consistent-viz: in
neither forgetting nor negecting the inter-
ests of Antonio Santa Ana. He has be-
trayed and deserted many, but he has new
err, even for moment, betrayed or deserted
himself.
Madame Calderon thus describes the per-
sonal appearance of Santa Ana in 1871:
He has sallow complexion, fine dark
eyes, soft and penetrating, and an interesting
expression of face. Knowing nothing of his
past history, one would have said a phi
losopher, living in dignifcd retirment one
who had tried the world, and found that all
was vanity; one who had suffered ingrati-
tude, and who, if he were ever persuaded to
emerge from his retreat would only do so,
charlottesville, to benefit his country. 1t
is strange, how frequently this expression of
philosophic resignation, of placid sadness is
to be remarked on the countenances of the
deepest, most ambitious, and most designing
men.
1t was only now and then, that the express
sion of his eye was startling especially when
he spoke of his leg, which is cut off below the
knee. He speaks of it frequently, like Sir
John Ramorny of his bloody hand, ard
when he gives an account of his wound, and
alludes to the French on that day, his coun-
tenance assumes the air of bitterness which
Ramorny's may have exhibited when speaking
of Harry the Smith,
/ Otherwise, he made himself very agrcea-
bic, spoke great deal of the United States
of the persons he had known there, and in his
manners was quiet and gcntcmanlike, and
altogether a more polished hero than had
expected to scc.'

INVENTORS AND INVENTIONS. at is n
matter Of wonder to the present generation,
that many of our most useful and indispensa-
bic inventions in machinery, were not intro
duccd to practical use, for ten, twenty, or tf-
ty years after they had been discovered, and
their utility demonstrated which are
next generation will be no less astonished at
the stupidity of the present, in ncglccting to
avail themselves of the advantages of many
no less important inventions, which have been
known and proved twenty years since, and of
which the practcablity have been fully dem
onstrated and published Weperhaps should
not gain much credit by the unqualified as
sertion, that ninc-tcnths of the rich men Of
this enlightened age, and in this enlightened
country, are DOWNRIGHT ignoramuscs, with
regard to the true scientific principles and
theory of mechanics therefore we will not
say it, whatever may be our conviction but
certain it is, that there are now before the
public, more than twenty valuable; and some
of them immensely valuable, new inventions,
the authors Of which being poor-and all first
rate inventors are poor-can not induce the
obstinatcly stupid capitalists to furnish the
means of introducing them, or take an inter
est III them at any rate, but rather oppose
their introduction, and will only adopt their
use, when compelled to do so, as it were in
selfdetcnce, after they have been introduced
by Others 1t is not enough for an inventor
to construct and put in successful operation,
one of his inventions, and call hundred peo-
pie to witness its performance he must put
it INTO general use, at his own expense, and
in the face Of a host Of prejudices for years,
before he can get the confidence of the pub
lie in the utility of his invention, or especial
ly that of those who think themselves among
the wiSe$t of the community. Would the
grave and wise sages of the country keep
themselves as totally ignorant of the courses
and channels of vice and mischief, as they are
of the mechanical science, even the scientific
inventors would be enabled to Introduce their
own inventions successfully, without depend
ing as at present, on the assistance of others
who are more wealthy. Sci. Ameicdn.

gaS Some years ago Roger M. Sherman,
and Perry Smith, of Connecticut, were oppo-
sed to each other as advocates in an import
ant case before a Court of Justice. Smith
opened the case with violent and foolish
TRADE against Sherman's political character.
Sherman rose very composedly & remarked,
81 shall not discuss politics with Mr. Smith
before this court, but am perfectly willing
to argue questions of law, or chop logic, or
even to split hairs with him"

time pulling a short, rough looking hair
from his own head, and handing it over
towards Sherman.

Ohio Railroads,

We find in the late Cincinnati papers an
interesting account Of the opening of the Lit
tie Miami Railroad, from the "Queen city" to
Springfield distance of 80 miles, A large
concourse Ofthe citizens of Ohio assembled at
Springfield on the occasion-composed of la
dies and gentlemen from all sections of the
State. This is the first road in Ohio which
has been completed, and the event was the
cause OF a good deal Of interest. At o'clock
L. M. on the 18th Of August, about $50 per-
sons were seated at tables arranged in the car
house, and toasts and speeches were the or
der of the day. One Of the first toasts was as
follows:
"The President, Directors and ComDdny of
tile Little Miami Railroads.&c. their zeal, en-
ergy and patience, they have this day com
pleted the first railroad in the State of Ohio,
over ground where some Of them probably as
sisted in opening the first wagon road in the
Miami Valley"
This was received with applause, and q
suitable response was made.-Railroad Jour.
The Cincinnati Enquirer remarks that it
is really ''amusing to see the sensation train
Of railroad cars produces on all animate beings,
human and brute, for the first few times it
passes over a section of road. We saw herds
Of cattle, sheep and horses, stand for few
seconds and gaze at the passing train, then
turn & run few rods with all possible speed,
stop and look again with eyes distended, and
head & ears erect seemingly so frightened at
the tramp Of the iron horse as to have lost the
power of locomotion.
Men, women and children also seemed
dumbfounded at the strange and unusual spec
tace. AS the cars came rumbling along ear
ly in the morning, they seemed to bring eve
ny body out of bed, all eager to catch glance
as we whirled past. Old men and women,
middle aged and youth, without waiting to put
on rag in addition to their night gear were
seen at the doors, windows and round the
corners oflog huts and dwellings, gaping with
wonder and astonishment at the new, and to
them grand and terrific sight"
