A LOCOMOTIVE ON A RUsT.-1he Cleve-
land PIaindeaIer related the following singu-
lar tale:
yesterday afternoon, n singular accident
occurred on the northern division of the To-
edo Railroad, few miles this side of To-
edO, by which the locomotive 'Tiger' was
completely demolished, without further inju-
ry. The engine was near the apex Of n
steep grade, attached to heavy gravel train
when the coupling between itself and the
tender gave way, and left the locomotive to
shoot forward like Il flash of lightning, with
out engineer fireman, or any other person
10 check her motion. She whzzed on with.
out regard 10 rules or regulations, passing
switches and crossings without any mOni
ton or alarm on her own part. At one
point on her course she shot through gang
Of hands that were busy eveng The track
The men had barely time to jump out of the
way of sure destruction.
On on, she sped, with her head towards
the west, until she arrived at gravel bed
switch, she appropriated to her own use;
jumped off the track, turned complete
double sommrrset, and 50 twisted aud turn
ed herself as to land right side up, headed in
reverse direction, completely demolishing
the Tiger, and terrifying gang Of hands
that happened to escape destruction at the
final smash up.
When the coupling broke, the engineer
and fircmer happened to be on the tender,
and thus they We're deprived of the pleasure
of this lightning ride. The engine happened
to pass over the Road on the time of the
down passenger train, but by u fortunate oc-
currence, the passenger train was delayed be-
yond her time, and thus saved itself from
certain destruction.

THE FARMERS FUTURE.

An English correspondent of the New
York Tribune, expatiates on the prospective
introduction Of steam power rs m aid in ag-
ricutural operations, rs follows:-"The Far
mers' Future will be found in The application
Of steam 10 The cultivation Of the soil, We
are rapidly coming to the conclusion here
that the good old plow is humbug. Wc
begin to think that spade husbandry applied
by steam is the right thing; indeed, there are
some among us of the opinion that machine
may be invented which should, in effect,
plow, SOW, harrow and roll atogether-a
machine, in fact, which should make n seed
bed and SOW the seed al! at one operalion.-
There has already been one stcam.engine ex-
hibited in this country which will walk any
where, and do anything it is required to do.
1t has feet ABOUT the size of yours, Sir, and it
puts them down upon the ground one after
the other, very much in the fashion Of dan
dy going up Broadway, only the feet of the
machine are fixed on wheels, and rcvolye
regularly, instead Of moving up and down
awkwardy, like his. The machine will 90
through pIowed field very comfortably, and
rather quicker than u good hunter will get
over it; and as it will drag dozen plows after
1t, do not see, for my part why it should
not be made to carry, rs part and parcel of
ITSELF mechanism that will readily convert
the untitled ground into seed bed. Well,
then rs ior drainage. saw n machine the
other day that would dig, drain, and lay down
sixteen and half feet of piping per minute,
the pipes being rather more regularly and
satisfactorily laid than any skilled workman
can lay them. The machine labored under
the disadvantage of being cumberous, and of
being made to be worked by stationary en-
gine. But having got thus FAR, il seems to bo
only one step further to give us steam app.
cation to the soil so as to enable twenty
times the quantity of land to be put under
cultivation by the same amount of labor, and
at no greater cost than now. Then we may
hope for produce of cheap corn, the great
desideratum in this land of sweat and toll,
where it depends upon shilling or two,
more or less, in the price of food, not only
whether man can reap the advantages of his
labor, but absolutely, too often, whether ho
can continue TO exist.
Yes, to the application Of improved ma
chinery to the earth must we look for an nc.
rpssion of home comlnrts of World ,r;Jo
of universal happiness! TO Thee!
o, bountiiul God of Nature, We offer our first
thanks that Thou hast given us the great
cd.bed whereon we live and move, and
whence we have our being. To Industry be
given our next best tribute, and then let us
thank Art and Science that teach us how TO
make the best uses of the means so bounti.
fully placed at our disposal"

:5E9 Abiding to the fall of Scbastopol, the
London World contends that in order to
complete the triumph, the Russian army must
be absolutely crushed in the field, and every
source of supply, whether from the North or
the East, completely cut of. The editor asks,
what iSto prevent the allies from landing with
from fifty to sixty thousand men in Eupatoria,
and commencing from that basis, new series
of operations! The Russians would, in the
end, he compelled to general battle, and be
driven into that barren steppo of ninety miles
between Simphcropol and Perekop, where his
defeated and dspirited army, encountered
with its wounded, without water, without tho
means of transport, and without shelter,
would perish by thousands Of starvation and
fatigue.
