As a salutary warning to the sub.agents f

and as token Of encouragement to those Of

them, we take pleasure in saying that the Firm

Something of interest 10 Railroad Corpora
tons.

Mr.. FRANCts 4. STEVENS, an inTenlus
youne mechanic, in the employ Of the Rutland
g. Burlington Railroad Co, at their rep1irng-
shop i'll this town, has recently obtained pa
tent on rcry important improvement on The
doitb't cor-brckc.
The double-brakc is one which is so con-
nected by rods, as to actupon all the wheels
Of both trucks of car at time, and is applied
by a single brake wheel, at either end OF the
car. 1t was first invented by Mr.. urncr, OF
the ~ est, and subsequently improved By Mr..
Hodges, Of North Adams, ass, and is now
perje ted by Mr.. STEVENS. Mr. turner's in
yenion was received with much interest by
the Railroad public, but was entirely supercc-
ded bv the Improvement of Mr. Hodges. But
Yankee ingenuity never stops short Of pertec-
ton. and Mr. SrEvENss business as car-re-
pairer, brought him directly in contact with the
mperi, ctlons Of the best dIublc-braie, which
suggested to him the great want Of the per-
lection he has arrived at in the arrangement
and application Of his Doubled raIe.
His plan of applying the lever force. is per-
fccrly simp.ited, and is much more comPens1-
ting in lis operation upon the wheels, and con-
Sequentiy more durable and less expansive
The difficulty of Mr.. IIodges's brake has been,
that it acted more forcibly upon the set Of
wheels nearest to the brakc-whcel, or cap
stand, causing them to slide on the track while
the other set Of wheels were rolling, which
forces counteract each other, and which soon
CAUSES the first set Of wheels to become unfit
for use. BY wearing square spots upon them
where they slide upon the rail. This difficulty
is entirely avoided by Mr.. SIEyENs'S brake /:
torthe same force is applied to all the wheels
of the car at the same instant which, under all
ordinary circumstances, stops the car before
the wheels side at all. Onmany roads, Chose
Of long and steep grades,) this improvement
will effect Il saving OF at least ttro dozen pljrS
Of Whce's every tlco yerrs, on each car upon the
road, and especially on all freight cars.
Mr. SrEvENss brake has been in use upon
the Rutland & Burlington Road about three
months, where it took the place of that of Mr.
Hodges, aud facts fully subatantiate these
statements Of its excellence

In the Spring of 1851, a few Of the numer-

Rev. IAnocK THoMpsoN, presented him with
purse sufficient to defiay the expenses Of Il
trip to London, Paris, &c, and invited hun to

tnated by any motive but to manifest, in the
first place, his respect and admiration for Mr..
Thompson, as a citizen and neighbor and, in
the second place, to contribute to an excursion
that might prove beneficial to the health of
gentlemen IN whose personal Character and
acle tihc atllnments. our whole community
feel Must pride. Every contributor felt how
much more blessed it sometimes is to give"
