Thrilling Sketch.

One Of the most striking cases Of
presence Of mind and self possession
ever recorded, came TO light in a trial
which took place some years since in
Ireland. A woman travelling along a
road 10 join her husbaI d, was
Joined By pedlar going the same way.
They entered into conversation dur
ing a walk Of some hours; but as the
day began to wanc, they agreed that
they should stop for the night at some
house Of entertainment, and pursue
their journey on the next day. They
reached an humble inn, situated in a
lonely spot by the road side: and ia
tigued after long days walk, they
were glad 10 find themselves under the
shelter Of roof.
Having refreshed themselves with
the substantial supper before them,
they expressed wish to silently re-
tire. They were shown into the trav-
ellers' room, and went 10 rest in their
respective beds. The pedlar. before
retiring, bad called the landlord aside,
and gave into his keeping the pack !,
which he had unsirspped from his
back, I'LL morning, telling him that it
contained . considerable amount oil
money and much valuable property
They we're not long in bed before the
pedlar fell into a deep sleep; but the
poor woman, perhaps from over ia
tigue, or from thoughts Of icing her
husband the next day, lay awake.
A couple Of hours might have pass

IRON BUSINESS. Never was the iron trade
in Essex county in more hourshing condi-
ton than at the present moment. We have
now five blast furnaces for manufacturing pig
iron, in full operation, and three more are to
be erected in the town of Moriah the ensuing
season. The Port Henry Iron Company have
commenced building one at that place. The
other two to be located at Lee & Shcrman's
ore bed in the west part of that town. Our
FORCES, which are too numerous to mention,
are doing an enormous and profitable business.
We are informed by proprietors of ore beds,
that it is almost impossible to raise ore suf-
fcicnt to supply the demand of the market.
Nearly every team in this section is en-
ployed in drawing wood and ore to the fur
naces and FORCES. About one hundred and
forty cords of wood, and between thirty and
forty tons Of ore are daily received at the Sis

DIsCoNNECTING RAILROAD COUPLINGS.
Mr. Byington, one of the master mechanics at
the U. S. Arsenal says the New York Far
mer and Mechanic, has directed our attention
to most useful invention, for the safety Of
valuable lives. 1t is called the Self.connecting
and Disconnecting Railroad coupling Too
much cannot be said in its favor, in the way
of commentator. l must confess, it far eX-
ceeds my utmost expectations, and is worthy
of publication in all the Journals Of the day.
| will give some of its qualities. 1t can be
set at any number of degrees, so as to suit
all curUeS or Switches, on any of the railroads,
but whenever car makes short turn other
than the curves or switches it Immediately
disconnects itself and lets go, and should ono
car run off the track this coupling Immediate
ly disconnects itself and lets the car go,while
the balance of the train remains on the track.
1t is also at the pleasure of the conductor or
brakeman to disconnect one car from another
while the train is at full speed, and the loco
motive with a full head of steam applied to
its propulsion. Furthermore, it connects it
self bv running up one car against another
without the aid of any assistance whatever
cannot conclude without calling on TIE public,
generally, and especially railroad companies,
to have the said couplings brought into use
The safety of the travelling public demands
it, merely add that the Washington Branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad have ono
of these couplings now in use, and found it to
work admirably. 1t is also very cheap, not
exceeding in price the others in use on the
same road.

I IMPROVEMENT IN AxLEs A friend I'd
improvement, in the Farmers Cabinet"
says
L have believed that an advantage would
result from directing the attention of your
numerous readers to an improvementin drles
winch has recently been invented, and which
IN my humble opinion,is likely to form q new
era in wagon and carriage making. The in
ventor, Isaac Slack, of Avondale, Chester co..
Ia, has secured the invention by letters pa
TENT and, although from the very liberal
views OF some, we might infer that they would
dlsapprove this course-yet the decided ad.
vantages likely to result from the improve
ment, and the circumstances under which the
discovery was made, render in the view of
his friends an ample apology for this course.
will briefly refer the reader to some of
the advantages claimed by the inventor for
this construction. And though there is here
and there, perhaps, person, who from pref
udlce,i or from other motives, very difficult
to appreciate, may strenuously oppose the in
PRODUCTION of this improvement-yet firmly
believe, that every man who has fairly exam
med it, is in candor forced to yield to the mer-
it Of these pretensions.
1st-the friction is much lessened The
axles turn with the wheels each wheel hav-
ing its separate axle or spindle extending to
the centre of the machine; thus the leverage
of the spindles is equal to half the length of
the ordinary axle, or about two and q half
feet instead Of six to twelve inches, as is gem
orally the case. So that by this contrivance
the bind or friction on the spndles, OCCASION
ed by sidelng ground, or side motion, is di-
mnished to less than one sixth part of that
exerted in the common way
2d-the noise and waste of oil occasioned
by the play of wheels hung by the usual meth
cd, is entirely avoided; for, by this improve
ment they may at all times be kept free, yet
so tight as to make no noise in running.
3d-all dust or sand is efectually excluded
from the boxes.
4th-a wagon constructed on this plan may
be oiled at any time, whether loaded or emp
ty, by the simple process of pouring it in from
a can.
5th-the oil having no access to the out end
of the hub, disagreeable collection ofgrease
and dirt is avoided, and a neat and graceful
finish introduced in its stead.
6th-the hub is of cast iron, and subject to
no friction, and is therefore almost imperish-
able. The mortices may be made larger, and
the spokes driven tighter, than can be done
in wooden ones: and the lemons of the spokes
are effectually protected from the OIL thus
making a stronger and much more lasting
wheel.
These are undoubted advantages, winch
combine in this new constructioa, to form
simple, neat and durable machine.
/ will here add for the satisfaction of any read
err feeling an interest in this matter, that sew
eral carriages and wagons of different weights
are in use, and being made by the inventor
in his vicinity and reference to which will,
l trust, satisfy any one that the above is in no
wise too highly wrought,
