FIRST LoCOMoTIvg.-The first Loco

the banks Of the Lackawana, at the com.

Canal of the Delaware and Hudson Ca

ton, he said:
"Ihe circumstances which led To nv
being alone m the engine were these:
The road was built in the summer .he
structure was Of hemlock timber, and the
rails of large dimensions. nolched on to
caps placed far apart. The timber had
cracked and warped from exposure to the
sun. After about 500 feet of straight line.
the road crossed the Lackawana Creek
on trestle work about 20 feet high, and
with a curve OF $50 to 400 feet radius
The impression was very general that
this iron monster would either break down
the road, orthut it would leave the track
at the curve, and plunge into the creek
My reply to such apprehensons was, that
it was too late to consider the probability
OF such occurrences; that there was M
other course but to have the trial made
of the strange animal, which had been
brought there at such great expense; bur
that II was not necessary that more than
one should be involved in its fate; that
would take the first ride alone, aud that
the time would come when should look
back to this incident with great interest

the large assemblage present. AT the
end Of two orlhree miles, | reversed the
valves, and returned. having thus made
the first Railroad trip by LOGON tive OF
the Western hemisphere"
The speech from which we make th
extract is full of interesting facts. 1t i
stated, for example, that the Liverpool
and Manchester Railroad was the frs
built in England for passengers an,

previously been constructed in this coun

STRINGENT LIouoR BH.L.-The mosl
important act Of Legislation, perhaps, by
the MaineLegislature.a at its late session
was the passage of very stringent Ii.
guor bill.
This law forbids the Manufacture OF
sale Of all spirtuous aud intoxicating Ii
quors, except by authorized and licensed
town agents. and then onl y for medicin-
al aud mechanical purposes. If any uu.
licensed person shall manufacture or sell
these liquors he is subjected, for the first
conviction, to line of Sl00; for the Sc.
cond conviction, to fine of $780, aud
for the third 5000, and four months i'm
prisonment. ., .. .,.-.
1t authorizes the search uf stores, &c,
for spirituous liquors, when there is rea-
son to believe that such liquors are in
tended for sale without license, and the
desru 3tior of the Iiquour, unless proved
to be imported. and in the original pack
ages in which it was imported. -
No persons engaged in the unlawful
traffic is allowed to sit on jury in any
case arising under this act; and all such
cases coming before the Superior Court,
are to take precedence of all other bust
ness, except those criminal cases where
the parties are actually under arrest aud
awaiting trial. 4
