The sabbath, ever welcome 10 the devoui and
to the weary, has again returned. AS we cannot
properly appreciate health until sickness overtakes
us, so we cannot duly estimate this period Of rest
when we are deprived Of its enjoyment.

morals is the respect paid 10 the Sabbath, by the
avoidance of conduct and practices openly viola

giving and praise 10 the Supreme for undeserved
and numberless mercies.

the last twenty years. we are glad 10 perceive
that there has been a corresponding increase Of
respect for the Sabbath, every where evidenced,
and that no other city can present a cleaner re-
cord Of events for that day than Washington.

this institution, in part, we attribute the constant
increase of respect for the Sabbath day,
Within a few years past, taverns and ~refecto-

A Locomotive Engine, mastadon size, was

Virginia, for the Central Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, and bears the name, in prominent brass
letters. I" Pittsburg," to which city il has been de-
spatched BY way Of the Washington branch rail
road. A scow brought the locomotive from Alex
andria TO the Fourteenth street bridge, and from
the last named place il was moved 10 the station
in the manner above mentioned.
For the first time did we see, yesterday morning,
a railroad track on the great and world-renowned
thoroughfare, and a locomotive, too. II was truly a
novel spectacle, and one that attracted many atten-
tive spectators. We could easily imagine the very
wide difference between the slow process Of trans
portation here-the hauling Of the dead weight by
means of horses-and the Gathering of machinery,
the deep-toned putting, the screech, the spark
emitting furnace, and the impatient speed OF this
locomotive, going rapidly ahead on a long extend
ed line Of railway in the Keystone State.
