RAIL ROAD ENGINEERs. A correspondent very
earnestly urges upon the managers Of Rail Road Cor
Poratlons, the necessity Of increased attention the
qualifications of the engineers having the charge of
ming locomotives. He thinks tbs is required as webb y
regard 10 the safety OF passengers by the interest Of
the corporations. They should be men of good judg>
ment and steady habits and thorough mechanics. Such
men will be less likely 10 meet with accidents, an when
they 90 occur will generally be able 10 repair them on
the spot, instead Of suhecng the train 10 the long
iention which often occurs to the sad disappointment
and frequently pecunary loss Of tie passengers He
suggests the propriety Of having Board of Examiners
composed Of competent men, from which all engineers
Should be required TO obtain certificates OF qualifications
before they are employed. This he thinks would lead
to great dminution in the loss of lie and lmb-and
although higher qualifications might require higher COM
pensaon, YET the whole, the pecuniay interests Of
the corporations would be promoted by the better ser,
vice which would be secured and by the dimuuon Of
accidents whereby the destruction Of property which
they make and the heavy damages they subject The cor
poratons to, would be avoided. The subject is worthy
Of consideration.

THE MANUFACTURES of ENvELoPEs The
recent change in the Post Office regulations, have
enabled letter writer's TO make use OF the desra.
BILE facility and guard of an envelope. 1t may
seem little thing to manufacture this article, but
on the contrary, the machine employed is OF the
most complex aud ingenious character, and the
various stages Of the operation are highly inter.
estIng.
We had the pleasure of spending an hour or
two yesterday, in the establishment OF Messrs.
Coleman & Jones, South Fifth street, and OF
viewing the processes through which the paper
passes before being converted into its destined
form. The manufacture is as yet in its infancy,
and all its departments have scarcely vet been
fully organized; but they will be completed in
short time, and then it will be perhaps the n ost
extensive establishmentin the country. But four
folding machines, and one cutting press were in
operation while we were present; yet from the
rapidity with which they turned out the finished
envelopes, we could easily conjecture that when
all the contemplated improvements are compet.
ed, the daily manufacture will be immense
pile OF paper is first laid under the cutting
press, aud the flat forms OF the envelope are cut
out at once. These are then taken TO the folding
machine, which is one OF the most singular con.
struced and beautiful pieces of mechanism we
have ever seen. 1t requires but one person to
iced it, and performs all the rest OF the operations
itself; Tor the paper, cut in proper form, being
placed in fixed position, is seized by nippers
and drawn forward to bed, where it is held firm
~ by an overhanging plate OF metal which GOV
ers just so much as marks the size intended to be
made, leaving the parts to be folded over loose
The sides are then, by means OF plates advanc-
ing towards each other, folded over, and as thew
retire, roller covered with gum, passes under
the sui lace OF double curved piece of brass
which instantly falls upon the paper, and, as ii
rises, another plate turns over the outside fold
while at the same time, roller presses on it and
causes adhesion. This being done, The bed on
which the envelope rests falls to an inclined pc.
sltion; and being caught between rollers, the
finished article is passed through 4 trough into a
receiving basket. The only remaining labor is to
gather the envelopes up and sort them into pack

There is an incident connected with the death
OF Mr.. w. that is quite affecting as it exhibits
the strong attachment and peculiar sagacity of
his dog. This faithful animal had accompanied
Mr.. w. in the water, and was the means OF dis
covering his loss and the recovery of his bcdy by
his friends. The dog, from the moment his ma S..
ter sank continued to swim in circuit of some
fifty feet, bowling and barking, for about two
hours
The continued cries of the dog, uttered In the
most pitifu and lamentable stratus known to the
race, attracted the attention of neighbors from the
shore, who at length went to the dog and recog-
nizing him, concluded, from his sorrowfu cries
and earnest manner, that his master was in the
water. This proved to be so; on searching, his
body was found within the circuit made by the
dog, as he swan round and round. When the
body OF his master was taken into the boat, 10th
