to be absent two or three months--party we
suppose, with view TO improvement in his
health, and partly in reference to one of the
great projected lines of railroad between the At

drawn, the parties having come to good under
standing of the matter. Mr. l.. resigned his Of

request Of the Directors to close up matters. He
is about leaving the road. Having an hour or

forty morse power 1t is fully adequate to carry
the machinery, and we were much sur rized to
learn that it cost but fourteen hundred dollars

same that were used in the old shop The Ky
AIMING apparatus consists of saws to cut the
ties-of an immense tube about five feet diam
eter and about fifty fee, in length, fitted with
railway track upon which runs a car loaded with
tes-of an air pump to abstract the air from the

they are highly creduable.
