Railroads in MASSACHUSETTS,.

Twenty years ago. Mr.. Nathan Hale, Ed
tor Of the Boston Daily Advertiser, wrote
series Of articles on railroads, showing their
superiority to all other modes OF travel, both
for freight and passengcrs-thcir Importance
in reviving the declining trade OF that city
and the certainty OF their proving a safe In
vestment for capitalists. For year or two
the subject met with no favor in any quarter.
1t was considered so visionary and ridiculous
that it was difficult for two persons to discuss
it face to face without laughing. When the
Legislature met, a progressive member from
Lowell, with great presumption, moved the
appointment of a committee to inquire into
the expedicncy Of surveying route for a rail
road between Boston and Lowell. 1t was re-
ceivcd with all sorts of SCOTS, gibcs and ridi-
culc. One " country member moved to
amend it, by adding another survey from
Boston to the moan, the latter being consider
ed quite as feasible and important as the 9TH
er. The Legislature was ineXOrable, and re-
fused to grant q cent for any surveys To
quiet the clamors Of some halt-dozen of what
were considered very fussy individuals, they
were sanctioned as q sort Of selfappointed
committee, to collect facts on the subject at
their orn expense, and report to the next Leg
islature.
During the summer the committee were in
dustrously engaged-the successful opening
of the Birmingham and Manchester railway
arrested public attenton-Mr. Hale devoted
his talents, and liberal portion Of his paper.
to urging the importance Of the subject, and
as the daily Advertiser was an old conserva-
tive journal, considered generally infallible by
capitalists, the project gradually appeared
more reasonable and at the next session of
the Legislature, company was Incorporated
to construct 4 railroad from Boston to Wor-
ccster, and Mr.. Nathan Hale was elected its
first President. After numerous delays, dis
appointments, and attempts by many OF the
discouraged stockholders, to discontinue or
suspend the work, during the financial en-
barrassmcnts that followed General Jackson's
" removal of the deposits" it was opened on
the 9th of July, 1885, and the most brilliant
results followed. A new company was incor-
porated, which pushed it on to Springfield,
and eventually to Albany; and other lines
we're rapidly formed to Lowell, Providence,
Portland, etc, diycrging from Boston as a
centre, to almost every point in the compass.
There are now fifteen different railroad
companies in the State, owning 10 miles OF
road built at Il cost of about $50 900 900, each
paying dividends ranging from six to ten per
cent per annum. The stocks of railroads
havo tho preference by all classes who arc
seeking TO make permanent Investments
These stupcndous results i'll apecuniary NOR
al and social point Of view,arc too we'll known
to require rcmark.-Rl Hyoad Journal

No Wonder they get Whipped

Improvements IN agriculture and III agll-
cultural implements are the surest marks Of
progress in knowledge and national refine
ment and strength. We want no better cri-
teron whereby TO Judge Of the diffusion of
liberty and useful science among people
than what an examination Of thoir ploughs,
carts, and other implements afford. We are
at war, we grievc TO say, fol- wars are savage
and barbarous, but we are at war with Next
co, and in every battle, although the NleXicans
are fighting at thier own hcarth-stones and by
the graves of their fathers, and fight obstinate
" too, yet in every battle they have got whip
ped, beaten and conquered.
This may seem strange, but when we read
accounts Of the state of the arts and Of schools
and Of their social condition, and Of their ag-
riculturc as cXempIfed in their tools and i'm
plemcnts necessary to facilitate the operations
of labor, we cease to wonder. They are five
hundred years behind us in these things
Why shouldn't they get whipped? Justr read
a description of their ploughs, carts and har-
rows, as given by a correspondent Of the St.
Louis Republican. "Riding, on the 10th De-
cembcr, up the valley in which Parras is sit
uated, | came to a field where they were SOW
inc wheat. The sowcr was sowing the wheat
broadcast on the unploughed ground. Twen-
ty-three ploughs followed each other, on the
same land, ploughing the wheat in. A con-
trivance for a harrow leveled the ground af-
terthe ploughs Each plough was drawn by
two oxen. The ploughs were Of the same
pattern used by the Romans two thousand
years ago.
They we're made of the fork of small tree
one prong of which answered for the beam,
and was cut long enough to tasten the oxen
to; the other prong was cut off about four
feet lone and sharpened at the end, and
sinclo stick fastened into the fork and project
inc back made the handle. This was the
whole plough-lock, stock and barrel. When
forkGd tree cannot be found, the short stick
is morticcd into the long one. The short
prong was the coulter, the long one the beam.
This was fastened by raw-hide thong to the
ox-yokc, which in turn was fastened in front
of, and to the oxen's horns by another raw
hide thong. The handle was held by per-
son who was armed in the other hand with
long pole with sharp goad in the end of it,
which he unsparingly plunged into the oxen
to quicken their speed or to change their di-
rection.
The harrow was simple contrivance as
the plough, and consisted of single stick OF
square timber, the size of a joist, fastened in
two places with raw-hide rope to keep it
square in front, and drawn by yoke of oxen
to level the ground.
A Mexican cart is the most unique of all
hcirinventions. 1t has not a piece of iron in
it or about it. 1t is constructed entirely of
wood and raw hide, The aXletree is arough

| hewed log, rounded at the ends. The wheels
are made Of knotty live oak, two feet and
half through the hub and trimmed down to
seven inches in the tread. Two slabs of the
same width are pinned on to the centre piece
to give rotundty to the wheels; a heavy
tongue is morticed into the axle and has %
wooden pin inserted through the upper end,
by which to fastcn it to the yoke. The body is
made of wooden poles, inserted into round
sapLngs eight feet long. This is used for
hauling wood, SIC When they wish to haul
corn, cornstalls are placed across the wooden
poles and lashed tightly to them with strips Of
raw-hlde, The oX-yoke is a piece of timber,
five inches wide and three inches thick slight
ly indcnted near each end. This is tied in
front of, and across the horns, with piece Of
tough raw-hide. Another piece fastens tho
yoke tightly to the tongue ofthe cart. A Sec
ond yoke of cattle is usually fastened to the
cart. A strong rope of raw-hide, of sufficient
length, tastens the yoke to the tongue of the
cart. The driver moves along by the side Of
the cart, somctimes on foot and sometimes rid
ing on ugly, ill-natured mustang, with long OK
gOad in his hand. He uses this very freely,
and when he wishes to file left" he pops his
goad into the off OK, who screws his tail and
runs round his fellow, and changes the direc-
ton of the cart.
A Mexican frequently carries his wife and
children in these carts. He then puts raw
hide on the bottom to keep the children from
falling through, and puts another over the top
for cover, when in crawls the whole family.
As soon as all's set" he Kisses at his oxen, as
a bear hunter would do when close on bruin,
and off starts the whole contrivance with
full band of road music"
Now do you wonder that such a people
should get whipped when fronted with live
Yankees? The W. tier says that good ploughs
from the United States have been offered
them, but they will not use them. Why should
they ? They must be taught little Of the
arts and sciences first. You might as well
take a wild dian from his birch bark canoe
and put him on board of a steamboat and tell
him to navigate it, as give those ignorant men
one ofour best constructed ploughs and tell
them to plough with it, knowledge, science
and improved implements 90 hand in hand,
and the one is an index and exponent Of the
other.
That people who use the best ploughs
know the most, and those who know the most
will whip those who know the least for knowl-
edge is power, whether in the battle field or
corn field -1iaine Farmer.

BUILDING IN Troy. The rapid progress
of building in all parts of the city, and par
ticularly in the lower portion, still continues;
and it requires almost daily record to keep
up with tic improvements.
The ground is being broken nearly every
day for the erection of now buildings and
the extension of those already constructed.
Messrs Atwood & Co. are rebuilding and
charging their extensive machine shop.
Messrs johnson & Cox arc extending their
workshops right and left Of the main build
ing.
The Troy Rolling Co.. Formerly the Vulcan
Coz have more than doubled the dimensions
of their building; and we learn it is their in
tentions to commence operations in few
days, or as soon as sufficient working stock
can be procured.
A little farther down, but within the limits
of the city, other works of the same descrp-
ZION, under the supcrintendencc Of the Troy
and Albany Co., are being built and will be
out in operation this season. This will ena-
BILE them to more than double their business.
Besides all these mammoth establishments,
there are innumerable private dwellings
springing up in every direction which we
shall endeavor to notice more particularly
hereafter
There is no installing the fact-Troyi is 60
ing ahead-more business is doing here this
season than was ever before known upon the
commencement of the season-and the evil
dence Of prosperity grcets us on all Sides

THE RUMsELLER's Work. On the night
of May LIST, man named Christian Aldrich-
or, who had been playing at ten pin alley
in Elizabethtown, Lancaster CO., and also
drinking at the GROCERY attached to it, start
ed home in has wagon, but some accident &C.
curing, he was thrown out and killed.
On the Sd, man named Miller stepped
into groggory at Millerstown, Lebanon co.,
and after drinking at the bar, he set off in his
wagon for Danville. He was also thrown out
and killed. These cases are narrated in full
in letter published in the Crystal Fount.
On Saturday, 10th, inst. man in the en-
ploy of the Reading Railroad company, at
Pottsvillc, fell from an upper window while
drunk, and was Instantly killed. His mangled
body was taken home to his family. So says
the Pottsville Emporium.
Can nothing be done to remove the cause
of such accidents ?" Must this work of
murder 90 on year after year, without inter
rupton? How much longer will the people
submit to such outragcs ?-Pledgc and Stand

A PREDICTION.
BY II. D. SPENCER.

BY IL -. SIlINtJl'
Sweet child, moment cease thy play
Lay thy treasured toys away,
Let me gaze awhile on thy smiling face,
Let me each laughing dmp!o trace,
Let me gaze awhile in thy doyclikc eyes,
Pure as italia's coudlcss skies;
Then will read sweet child, to thee,
Thy relentless destiny!
Thy auburn curls are bright and fair,
They WOO each breeze that strs the air:
But soon will come LIES stormy day,
And sorrow will minglc those locks with gray,
Those eyes that now fash with such brilliant
light,
One day they will be no longer bright;
To bitter tears will they melted be,
For sorrows cup is filled for thee!
Thou holdest in thy hand garland of flowers,
Image they of thy youthful hours;
They wither in thy frightened grasp;
So happiness vainly tAou'lt seek to clasp:
Thou wilt soek-but oh, in vain twill be,
Child of the earth, it is not for thee.
Then will thy bright dreams melt away,
And then will thy cherished hopes decay!
Oh, this is a sad-a mounful tale,
! sce,-thy blooming check is pale,
Thine eyes are suftuscd with pearl-Iikc tears
One falls from thy chcck-in Il fewmore years
Thou wilt pass away to thy final home,
