The Boston Raicay Times thus notices an
improvement which will make the eyes, mouth,
ears and hearts of Railroad travellers rejoice
and sing psalms We hope there is no mistake
about it.
RAILROAD Cars WITHOUT DusT.-Thc onIy
misery Of railroad travelling in dry time is
the dust and cnders, but Yankee is about to
DO away with that annoyance. He has hit upon
a mode Of ventilation and has constructed a
passenger car that is entirely free from dust
and clndcrs, be tho day dry, hot, windy, or dus-
ty as may be. The car has been tested On the
Vermont Central Railroad, and the success of
the experiment was most triumphant. A long
drouth had prevailed, and the road was as dus-
ty as it well could be. The day w hot, and
"A correspondent Of the Boston Atlas WHO rode
IN the car from Mortified to the Junction, says:
Not only was the car kept perfectly free
from dust ana cn1ers bit there was a con-
slant current Of air circulating through it all
the while, ventlIating and cooling it in tie
most thorough manner. While all the other
cars were uncomfortably hot and dusty. ours
continued the whole way most comfortlbly the
''''r4'''' ia ''''i i'7pClS. HIS great inNpu-
ton, which should be adopted on every rail
road in the country, and for the discovery of"
which its inventor will deserve the thanks of
every ralIro1d traveller, is as simple as its sue
cess has been apparent The air is forced in
to the car from the top, through boxes so adj
Iustcd that the motion Of the car drives in Il
strong current. This is protected from tho
dust and clndcrs by Il net work of fine wire
The windows of the car are made to admit
light but not air, and are not to be opened
All the air admitted must be from above, and
through the net work, and it passes ont again
through blinds on the sides of the cars, so ar
ranged that their motion may not resist its free
passage The inventor of this valuable I'M
provcment is Mr.. llovcy, of New York city ;
and,so tar as we can Judge from the experiment
we witnessed, the success of his invention was
most trlumphanty demonstrated. 1t is no ex-
aggeratlon to say, that on one of the most try
ing days OF the season, there was not even the
Smallest annoyance from the dust.
The change from this most comfortable and
well ventilated car, to those in common use,
was even greater than supposed possible The
/ rest OF our journey was performed with open
Widowed cars. admitting clouds of hot dust,
smoke and cindrrs, and at its end we were
/ hardly recognizable, we were so thoroughly
covered. Mr.. II. has our most hearty good
wishes and prayers, that he may succeed in
Introducing his invention, upon every line OF
railroad in the country.

RUTLAND AND BURLINGTON RALRoAp.-We
learn from one of our Northern exchanges,
that the Directors of this road have resolved TO
reduce the local passenger fares from three; 10
two and one-hat cents per mile. We have
very little doubt but that they will find this good
policy in the end. Low fares attract travel,
while a movement upward always drives away
travel, besides making the public dissatisfied
We are confident that the Rutland Directors
will find liberal equivalent for this red nction,
in a greatly incres sed traffic. Major John s.
DUNLAP. late of the Boston and Maine road, has
been appointed Superintendent of The Rutland
AMI Burlington. Mr.. Dunlap is very ener-
getic and able officer, and We have no hesi'a-
ton in saying that the appointment Is good

The Cuba Bonds.

We know, from the evidence Of parties con-
cerned that the humbest individuals who en-
gagged in the Expedition were promised large
sums in the event of It's success-as much as a
thousand dollars each-whilst those of higher
pretpnsion', who held nominal rank in the
invading force were, in the same event. to be-
come possessors of untold wealth. We know.
also, that much Of the money for the actual ex-
penses of both xpediions-that Of last year
and that of the present-was raised upon bonds
promises to paw issued by somebody or other
tat these bonds have been bought and sold
that, in one case, a thousand dollars was nd.
vanced by an officer Of the Expedition, for which
he was to receive ten thousand dollars, making
the price OF the bonds to be ten cents on the
dollar; that much money has been ct out uT-
on this gambling sort OF security and we have
even heard that at the same rate crops Of cDNOn
have been exhanged in Louisiana for these
| b lnds; whilst elsewhere lhev have been passed
| oil tor cash at as low a rate as two or three
cents on the dollar. But we have as vet had
no definite Information of the form OF these
bonds, the nature Of their stipulations, or the
amount and character Of the fund or funds out
Of which they are or were to be paid.
Sat SIZED, by an accidental publication in the
New Orleans newspapers of the sale of small
amount OF them, We expressed a wish to be en-
lightened by the utilization of the form of one
of these bonds, TO enable the public to deter.
mine, from the face Of it, whether it bore the
impress of a guilty or an innocent transaction
| Our wish has been accomplished. We have
got copy of one Of these bonds. Here it is
word and letter -

Mail Robbery.

1t is well known in TINS com nunity. that for
long time the mail route from Burlington to
Derby Line, by way of Johnson, Hyde Park
Craitsbury &c, has been a very unsafe one
for sending or receiving remittances of money
through the mails. This state of things has
been source of great annoyance aud pecu-
mary loss TO many.of our merchants, and other
citizens having customers or correspondents in
that section of the State. One of the special
Agents of the Post Office Department has spent
some weeks in searching for the cause of all
this trouble, and on Friday last succeeded by
some "means and appliances" which we do
not understand, in detecting an old mail driver
and contractors by the name of Lucius Glenn
ents, who is now safely lodged in jail at Mont,
peler, where he is soon TO be examined before
the U. S. Commissioner.
According to the facts as we have heard
them, there can be but little doubt that this man.
with perhaps an accomplish or two, has been
doing an extensive business in purloining let
tiers and packages, by means Of mail key
which has enabled him to examine the con-
tents ofthe mail bags passing through his hand,
aud abstract whatever he could find of value.
The Post Office authorities are entitled 10
the thanks of tie community tor having at
length, a we hope and believe, rendered the
route in question what 1t has not been for years
safe aud certain medium of communication
and business correspondence
