The Richmond Dispatch of Saturday has a brief,

to our readers entire. The Dispatch says:
" The New York Express cries cat honor to the

me Express cry out g honor 10 the Railroads. Never
BEFORE from all accounts, did many people leave

going out and coming in for they moved in something
like constant sreams-yet the Railroads served them
well aud carried all the thousands safely. In no other
way could so many have moved in different directions

PRECoC1TY OF THIS Go-AHEAD AGE.-We never
read accounts of extreme advance in life, without
thinking of the remarkable progress the present age
is making, and 10 help along, the precocity of mod
ern youthhood-as illustrated:
"Grandfather," said saucy imp, the other day,
- how old are you %
The old gentleman, who had been soldier in the
war of the Revolution and much under the ordi-
nary size, took the child between his kness and pat
ting him on the head with all the fondness of sec
ond child of life said
"My dear boy, am ninety-fue gears old - and
then commenced TO amuse the lad with of the in
cidens in the story of his life, at the conclusion OF
which he addressed the younster: But, my son why
did you ask such questions ?"-when the little rascal
with all the importance of Napoleon, struted off and
hching up the first pair of pantaloons he ever wore
after approved sailors fashion, replied:
"WelI, it appears 10 me you are darned small O
your age.'

SOMETHING FOR FARMERs.-We saw. yesterday,
the model of machine for cutting corn in the stalk.
It is partially upon the plan of Mr.. Mccormick reap
ing machine, and is designed to cut two rows OF corn
at time Between two wheels there is an axle, TO
each end of which is attached knife for cutting each
row of corn To the axle is also attached shafts for
the horse which pulls the machine. The walks be-
tween the rows Of and the knife, just on the in
side of each wheel cuts the corn, which falls on bed
or place TO catch it, in resembling the ope-
rations of wheat reaper The bed which catches
the corn, opens in the centre, at the pleasure OF the
operator, to discharge the corn in bundles. We are
informed that with one man and horse the machine
will cut 90 acres of corn per day 1t is invention
