ATMOSPHERIC TELEGRAPH.-Mr. ]. S.
Richardson, Of Boston, has invented an in
genious continuance for the transportation
Of packages with great velocity in an air
exhausted tube. The inventor proposes,
in case a capital of 100000 be raised for
the object, although 5000, 900 is consider.
ed an adequ lie sum BY scientific men, to
lay an underground tube, of two feet in di.
ameter below the frost, through which he
will transmit packages or mails Of any
weight, in fifteen minutes or even less,
from Boston 10 New York and the impor.
tant way stations. In front Of these com.
modities is the plunger to which they are
attached, and which fits so closely that no
air cAn'escape it. The air before it is ex-
hausted by a steam engine, and the plum
ger propelled to its destination by simple
atmospheric pressure. The Scientific
american thus explains its operations:
"Suppose a line of two feet tube laid
from Boston TO New York, it would con.
tain about 100000 cubic feet of air.
Suppose twenty pumps of ten feet in diam.
eter, and Of ten strokes, are located at the
Boston end, connected with the cylinder
these twenty pumps contain about 49,
ia IL cubic feet. Suppose the pumps
are worked twenty strokes in a minute, We
have removed 3l4,2s7 2.5 cubic feet
Suppose the Plunger was let in at New
York at the commencement Of operating
the pumps and the pumps continued TO rur
for fifteen minutes, in which same rat'
4,724,2792-7 feel Of air would be removed
and the cylinder only containing 100000
the plunger must reach Boston as 1907 Al
this work could be performed. so far as W,
can see, and lhe'samc result the other way

Methodist Property Suit.

This great controversy between the
Norlhern and Southern branches of the
Methodist Churches seems abou! TO be
brought 10 an amlcable arrangement. Ii
is agreed to submit the matters in dispute
10 a joint commission of persons belonging
to the two divisions. The n. Y. Times
says:
Judge Mclean, yielding TO the earnest
request Of both parties, has consented to
act as umpire and he is o in this city
for that purpose. Rev. Drs. Smith and
Eaaly, Of Virginia ! Green, Of Tennessee ;
aud Parsons, Of Kentucky, appear as
Commissioners for the Chursh South and
Messrs. Carlton, Phillips, Porter, and
Rev. DR.. Peck, act for the Northern
Church. The Commission will probably
be occupied in the consideration of the
case during the week and we trust thai
the result Of its action will be a final close
of one Of the most lamentable ecclessias-
lical controversies the country has ever
kno gn.

MEssRs JOINS & ALLRN.-Il may not
be known generally, that this firm are con.
staniiy receiving a new supply of Hard.
ware. ANY and every thing used can be
had at their Store. Their arrangements
are such with eastern establishments, that
they can buy at leasiicn per cent less, and
as a matter of course they can afford to
sell, ten per cent lower than any Hard.
ware establishment in this section of the
State. Let those who deal in Hardware
call and be convinced for themselves, aud
we think they will not go away dissatisfied.
Further, we are told by Mechanics that
the quality Of their ware cannot be sur.
passed. There can be no necessity now,
for any citizen of this county going to
Wooster or Mansfield, as heretofore, to
purchase articles in the Hardware line.

SLEEPING IN CARS MADE EAsY.-John
Bloomfield, a mechanic of Albany City
has rendered most acceptable service TO

Car Seats" upon which travellers upon
railroads may repose as comfortably as

day travellers, open by a simple process,
and with such economy as 10 occupy but
little more room than the seats now in use.

Two Armies-Muskets and Spades.

Two Armles-MusKets n opaues'
The New York Economist, in an arli-
lie upon the army Of the United Slatesi
makes a startling contrast between the use
of muskels and spades one used by Co.
vernment, andlh other by a great railroad
company:
The United States army numbers about
10000 men, and they cost the country last
year, Ss,225,246 for pay, subsistence, clo-
thing, etc. That is to say, $500 per man,
or if we deduct the militia expenses, 5000
per man. 1t would puzzle any one to tell
of what service were those men, living
uselessly in barracks and old forts, eating
three meals per day, and turning out occa-
siOnally to touch their cups to their off
GERS. ''.I.
The Illinois Central Railroad army
numbers 10000 men also, and they receive
from The company SO, 100000 per anHum,
in return for which they labor ten hours
per day upon a work that gradually stretch
es itself through the most fertile plains,
connecting the great Lakes with the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers, and ultimately with
the Gulf of Mexico.
The relative advantages of these two ar
mics to society present an interesting mat
ter for study, and are graphically skelched
by the New York Post.
The prospective building of the great
Central Railroad of Illinois, alone has ad.
ded 10 the wealth of that State, in the ap.
preparation Of real lands, the sun of forty
millions, within a strip of but twelve 'hiles
in width, and the actual consiruc ion Of the
road will bring to a ready market millions
of acres of land now owned by the general
government, which, were the road not con.
sructed, would lay wasted for years 10
come. The Federal Government employs
ten thousand men, at an expense Of eight
millions Of dollars, TO carry muskcts. The
Central Railroad Company, employing
len thousand men at less than four millions,
c%onfers a vast property on the State, upon
the Federal Government, and upon thou.
sands of farmers. Year after year the
Government spends millions of dollars,
e%ffecling nothing, and resulting in nothing,
but the turning loose of superannuaied sold
iers, made Paupers by a life of idleness, to
prey upon the industrious the remainder Of
their existence.
The Illinois Company, by three years
expenditures, establishes 700 miles Of rails
through prolific farms, many ofttem owl.
ed by the persons whom they employed
10 build the road-men of industry, vigor,
wealth and intelligence. The U. S. in
thirty years, have spent $500, OO0, OOO,
enough 10 build a double track to the p
cifc, and they have nothing to show for
the money but some old forts, guns, tat
tered uniforms, and demoralized veterans.
