A Wonderful Printing Press.

The ". Y. Tribune describes a printing
press Of wonderful capacities, just perfected by
Victor Beaumont, citizen of New York. 1t
says:
The press, at moderate rate of speed, will
deliver thirty thousand sheets printed on both
sides in single hour lis movement COM

are applied by Hoe in his great press, with
some new and beautifully simple arrangements
and devices Of the inventor. II has a large
central cylinder like the Hoe press, on which
are fastened the forms for both sides of the
sheet 10 be printed. The type are held fast by
Hoes patent column-rues. The paper used is
a contiguous strip or band dispensing with men
to feed the separate sheets as in other power
presses. This strip or band Mr.. Beaumont ar
ranges very ingeniously f; he avoids the incon-
venlences inseparable from having it in the
form of roll, by laying it in pile, folded
backward and forward like piece Of broad
cloth; one end of this pile is put into the press
which then draws its own supply without tear
ing or straining the paper till the whole sheet
has passed through. As there are no feeders,
room is obtained for additional printing cylin-
ders moderate sized press will have twelve
Of these, and will require three hands to run il,
two of them, being employed in carrying and
looking after the paper. Each twelve cylinder
press will work four of these continuous sheets
at time, or one TO each three of its cylinders
Each sheet will pass twice through at its first
passage, one of its sides will be entirely prin-
led The forms of The newspaper being impressed

A Fast Story.

| An Engllshman was Dragging of the speed
OH English railroads, to a Yankee traveller
seated at his side, in one of the cars of fast
train in England. The engine bell was rung,
as the cars neared station. 1t suggested TO
the Yankee an opportunity Of taking down his
companion peg or two
Whats that noise 2 inocentIy inquired the
Yankee.
We are approaching a town. said the Eng
lishman they have TO commence ringing
about ten miles before they get 10 a station, or
else the train would run by it before the bell
could he heard Wonderful, isn't it! sup
pose they haven't invented bells in America
yet!'
why yes replied the Yankee, we've got
bells, but can't use them on our railroads. We
run so tarnal fast that the train always keeps
ahead of the sound no use, whatever; the
sound never reaches the village till after the
train gets by
| Indeed = exclaimed the Englishman.
Fact said the Yankee, had to give up
bells. Then we tried steam whistles-bui they
wouldn't answer, either. was on locomo-
tive when the whistle was tried. We were
going at a tremendous rate-hurricanes were
nowhar, and had TO hold my hair on. We
saw two-horse wagon crossing the track about
five miles ahead land the engineer let the whis-
tie on, screeching like trooper. 1t screamed
awfully, but it wasn't no use. The next thing
l knew, was picking myself out of pond by
the roadside, amid the fragments of the loco
motive, dead horses, broken wagon, and dead
engineer lying beside me. Just then the whis-
tie came along, mixed up with some frightful
oaths that had heard the engineer use when
he first saw the horses. Poor fellow he was
dead before his voice got TO him. After that
we tried lights, supPosing these would travel
faster than sound. We got some so powerful
that the chickens woke up all along the road
when we came by, surprising it TO be morning.
But the locomotive kept ahead of it still, and
was in the darkness, with the light close on be-
hind it. The inhabitants petitioned against it !;
they couldn't sleep with SO much light in the
night time. Finally we had to station electric
telegraphs along the road, with signal men 10
telegraph when The train was in sight; and |
hare heard that some Of the fast trains beat the
lightning fifteen minutes every forty miles.

How TO GO THROUGH Crowd. The Salem
Gazette gives the following illustration of the
ease with which dense mass of people may be
separated. On Thursday, while the people
were making rush for tickets to the Lyceum,
meal man made his appearance pretty well
covered with the dust of his profession, and
marching boldly up, very soon effected an en-
trance, as the crowd gave way upon his ap-
proach, rather than run the risk of being smoth-
cred in meal, which few pretty freely wherever
the powdered gentleman worked his way
along. The exhibition was very ludicrous to
the unconcerned outsiders, and made no little

SINGULAR DEATH. Lemuel Pomeroy died
at his residence in Copake, Columbia county,
N. Y, on Sunday morning, after an illness Of
only eight hours, aged so years. Mr. Pomeroy
was formerly resident Of Pittsfeld, was
largely engaged in the iron business, and was
we'll known throughout The western part of the
State, and in New York. He did not seem
TO be afflicted with any distinct aIiment, but
was borne down with drowsiness, and died in
a sleep from which his family were unable to
awake him. He was remarkably corpulent

II Hain't been Stealth Nothin' I"

81 Hain't been Stealth Nothin' !"
A rich incident occurred short time since,
in one of the County Courts in Vermont,
which we consider too good to be lost.
Many Of the jury, together with the Judge
and lawyers, were intending to participate in
celebration of a society Of which they were
members, and were consequently their
anxiety to close the term-rushing cases
through with all the despatch that honor and
jastice would permit.
At half past twelve o'clock, one day, an in
PERMISSION for half an hour for dinner was
granted, with strict injunction from the
Judge that 'all hands must be back punctual-
ly at one to commence new case of larceny.
The dinners, that day, were swallowed
with greater rapidity than usual, and as the
clock struck one, the officers of the law rushed
into Court, like chickens into meal-trough.
While they were eating their dinners, how
ever, young man from the 'kedntry,' being
somewhat anxious to see the manner in which
Justice was meted out, walked into the Court
room, and, as he afterwards expressed him
self. took squint at all the seats, and SEEM
there wasn't nobody in the incest one, with a
railin' all around it, thought he'd make sure
on it. fore the fellers got back from dinner =
In five minutes after the crowd entered the
room, the Judge raped the desk with the
butt-end of his jackknife, and with dignifed
frown, cried
'Silence'n the Court =
'Silence'n the Court repeated the broad
shouldered constable, leaning on the railing in
front of his honor, and Immediately resumed
the occupation of picking his teeth with pin.
Silencen the Court echoed the squeaking
tones Of small, red-headed constable near the
door, and the latter speaker Immediately COM
menced elbowing the crowd, right and left, to
let them know that he was around!
All ready!' says the Judge.
All ready! replied the attorney.
Command the prisoner 10 stand nm - saws
the Judge, while the Indictment is being
read =
The broad-shouldered constable now vailed
up TO the prisoners box, during the apparent
momentary absence of the sheriff, placed his
hands on the shoulder of the young man, and
exclaimed
Stand up!'
What furp said the astonished young
farmer.

constable.

There is hardly anything SO much needed in
family as newspaper, and YET, comparatively
speaking, is esteemed of so little value. W.
Every one who will make fair trial, and
observe the influence of reading over his fami-
ly, will find at the end Of the year, that he is
not cent the poorer for having been subscri-
Der TO good newspaper. He will have accu-
mulated more real intelligence of the every day
concerns of life and the movements of national
we take it for granted that he has perused
every number with avidity-than he would
have done in series Of years deprived Of the
sight thereof.
His wife viii have picked up much informa-
ton relative to the government Of children,
many useful lessons of household economy,
and no small share of instruction suited to her
situation. The children will have acquired a
degree of information worth the price Of sub
scrption ten times told.
In fact, good, vrtuous and well conducted
newspaper in family, is the best economist of
