LIGHT AND HEAVY LOCOMOs
TIVES

| Mr.. England. Of Ha,cham. England,
forwarded light locomotive on the
Sd of August, 1850. TO the Edinburgh
and Glasgow Railway, Scotland. un>
der the guarantee that it was to work
the express trains between Edinburgh
and Glasgow, consisting Of seven car.
riages, to keep good time. per time
bill. and not consume more than 10
lbs. Of coke per mile. and if it did that
to the satisfaction of the company's
engineer, Mr.. Ads, Gl,2OO (s5,s2O}
should be paid for it. If the work
was not done satisfactorily, the engine
was to be taken back entirely at Mr..
Englard's expense.
Mr.. Ads has made report on the
working Of this locomotive, and it is
one of great interest. One of the best
engines of the company was appoint.
ed % run from lhe.opposite end Of the
track at the same hJRrs, and with a
similar train. These two engines
worked a week in this manner, the
Little England" starting on the
morning trip from Glasgow; and the
large engine, the "Sirius," from Edin-
burgh; the result was, the little engine
kept better time than the. large one,
and consumed only lbs. Soz. of coke
per mile, while the large engine con.
sumed 20 lbs. l OF The little engine
frequently ran mile in sixty seconds.
She started with less slipping. and
could be brought TO a slandn1a much
less distance than the larg cone. This
little engine ran up an incline Of l in
~ feet, for three miles, at the rate of
80 miles per hour. with 8 heavy care
fiages. She is now running the ex.
press trains between Glasgow and
Liverpool, with five carriages, and
consuming only 6 Ia lbs. of coke
per mile. This engine is l6 tons, and
it does better work than the engines
Of 80 and 36 tons. There can be no
doubt bat the English have run to
extremes in building heavy engines,
and that against reason and common
sense. The reform in light engines
has commenced. and i. is to be hoped
that extremes will be avoided in this.

A married man, and father, res
ceivcd, no, very long since, the mel.
auchoIy intelligence, by letter from
an unmarried lady, that she had lately
made him the natural guardian of a
"little responsibility" The unfortu.
nate fellow, after due consideration
and reflection, determined to take no
notice of the matter. and left the letter
unanswered. Upon this, The unmar-
ried lady. by way of furnishing him
for his ina,tention, give his wife the
same information she had previously
secretly impaired to him. Learning
that this was the case. the man rushed
out Of the house, with a double deter
mina,ion to do something desperate,
but underlined. At last. after a con.
siderable absence, driven by hunger
to the verge of desperation, he came
to The conclusion, after carefully re-
connoi,erlng the back door, to make
a bold front of it. and face his injured
wife. With trembling steps and

To KEEP Docs FROM SHEEP.-
Sheep will be protected from being

by putting common sheep. bells upon
them-to every % sheep put on two
bells, which will make sufficient noise
to frich,en them, as all sheep dogs
are towards. and will run away at
the first sound. and this fact has been
amply tested by many farmers arour d
me. Some who had no bells on their

! IMPORTANT DEFAuLr.-We copy The
following from the last Macon, Ga, Journal
and Messenger:
Our citizens have been greatly as,onish
ed BY The painful developments of the last
week. 1t appears lha, the firm of Conner
4 Taylor, Ware House men. has failed for
a large amount. and that their Liabilities
are manly on account Of cotton sold for
planters without orders. The amount of
the deficit has not yet been ascerIained, i,
but is variously estimated at from 300 10
f20O bales valued at from s4O,00O 10
100000. In addition to the above, it ap-
pears that Capt. Conner is also defauI>er
IN the Post Office, to the amount of from
$4,000 TO $4,000. We make these states
menls, not without deep pain and morlifi.
cation. and only from sense of daly as
public Journalists. Macon has certainly
had her full share, in days past, of this
kInd of no'OrIeIy-- but no one seemed pre-.
pared for such a blow, from such quar-
,e'. Capt, Conne. had always been one OF
the most popular and highly esteemed men
IN the city; and had resided here for near a
quarter ct century, Wha, has become
OF so large an amount of money, remains a
mystery. II is rumored that it has all been
lost in specula'ions, in which others, in dis,
tant cities. were concerned-rhat the other
parties have adIoitly managed to slip out
OF the moose. leaving the planters 10 pocket
the loss and the Macon partners the DIS
honor If this be true, we hope the whole
matter may be exposed by lega! invesli.
ga'Ion. Macon has long been clad in
"sackclo,h and ashes," and 1t is due to the
honest portion OF her citizens, that the re
spcnsIblty Of this whole transaction
should be fastened where 1t properly be,
longs. 1t is said that Capt. Conner has lei,
