A HORSES FOOT.

The foot of a horse is one Of tn. most
ingenious and singular pieces of mech
ansm in the animal structure, and
scarcely yielding to any in regularity
and complcxity under simplicity of de-.
sign. The hoof contains series of vert.
ical and thin laminae of horn so nn.
merous as to amount to about 500, and
forming complete lining to il. Into
this are fitted as many lamina belong.
ing to the coffin bone; which sets are
elastic and adherent. The edge of
quire of paper, inserted leaf BY leaf into
another, will convey sufficient idea Of
this arrangement. Thus the weight of
the animal is supported by as many e.
lastlc springs as there are amna in all
the feet, amounting to about four thou.
sand, distributed in the most secure
manner, since every spring is acted up
on in an oblique direction. Such is the
contrivance for the safety of an animal
destined to carry greater weights than
that of its own body, and carry those,
also, under the hazard of heavy ,hocks.

The Rail Road ant the Turnpike.
Mr.. EDIToR:-We continue to receive favor
able reports from the engineers on the Central
kallI cad route, who are now in Hartford county
on their way TO Baltimore. They speak .avor-
ably OF the route stating at the Susquchanna
river, at Hopkins Branch, which is a continu-
alton of the route surveyed, passing our village.
RumOr has said the chatter granted by the
Pennsylvania Legislature requires the road to
cross the Susquehanna at Peach Bottom, but |
am informed that this is an error. 1t provides
that the road shall be located between Little
Elk and York county, Pa. Peach Bottom is in
York county, but then there is considerable
space between the two points. So you see our
hopes Of railroad near our town are not all
