~ From careful experiments, made. by
William Fairbairn, of Manchester, England,
it was asrertnined that the strength OF iron
increased with each successive melting, up
to the twelfth or thirteenth trial, after whirh
it diminished in strength. One ton of hot
blast iron was experimental upon, and the
quantities of coal and iluy noted at each trial.
Care was taken that the cooling and mode OF
pouring should be in each case alike, so as
not to affect the result. The iron was run
into bars of one inch square, and lengths of
seven feet were supported at each end, and
weights applied until the bar broke. The
breaking weight at the commencement was
403 bs at the 10Th melting, 725 lbs; at the
18th, GIL lbs; at the 18th, 39l lbs; at the
10th, 1863 lbs; and at the 18th melting, 800
pounds. In the fracture made after the 18th
melting there was bright rim, like silver,
surrounding the interior, which was of the
usual crystalline structure. This silvery
fracture extended in the 10th and 18th spcci.

ing story: ........ ......s
We saw, the other day, Mr.. ]. NJ. Sanford,
of West Mcdford, Massachusetts, who lost
both legs by an accident several years ago,
walking about the streets just like any other
man. He limped little, il is true, bat no
one would suspect, on looking at him, that
he possessed a pair of mechanical legs in
stead of those furnished by nature. The
man who made them must be a genius, and
no mistake.

TIGHT TINES IN THE PRovIsIoN MARKETS.
We clip the following from the Savannah
Morning News: l.
With the exception of Catfish Gouber
Peas and Turnip Greens, there was nothing
to speak Of in the market What little there
was abundantly made up in prices for the de-
ieiency in quantity and quality Here and
there We're to be seen a few pieces OF
miserable Beef at Is cents per pound--and
no grumbling about the bones you didn't
like it, you could let it alone. Fowls were
hard to obtain at 81 pair. We saw two
game chickens tied by the legs with their
necks trimmed and their heads pecked till
they were entirely ont of shape, offered for
dollar. The owner had fit 'em until they
couldn't come to time, and now he offered
them as ''rrovisions" at that price, but he
wouldn't abate dime.1 1853 ir'-
Pork, ordinarily good, was selling. at, l2t
cents per pound. Eggs 20 cents. shad, OF
which there were very few in market, went
off readil v at so to 75 cents apiece. Irish
potatoes at the rate of SO per bb or about
one cent piece-small 'taiers at that! But
cat fish were on hand by the cart load--eat
fish from the size OF a tadpole to something
less than porpose-sold at prices according
to subsequently, cheap, and were taken off
by the colored population with avidty. We
thought, what a blessing are cat fish to those
that take to them Catfish are still between
us and staryationl rn' rH' u .f-,H rt

rINpIAN DIFFICULTIES IN New MEXIco.--
Independence, March 22.-The Santa Femnl
arrived to day, having left that city on the
lst inst, bring the latest intelligence, and as
passengers, Don Alvarez and Mercure The
mail came safely, Notwithstanding the dam
gers which surround it.
A hasty glance at the intelligence leads us
to the conclusion that everything tends to
war and confusion. @st Be-. "r
An article in the Santa Fe Gazette of the
oath ult, describes at length IN expedition
into the Aescolcro country, and the death of
Captain Stanton. ofthe United States Army,
and two men. They were killed in an en-
gagement with the Indians. Santa Anna,
the head chief and fifteen or twenty OF the
tribe were also killed. Another article, in
the same paper, and same private correspond
ence. speaks freely of an increase of mail
facilities. The inhabitants of the country
are few, surrounded by hostile Indians, and
need protection, and the present mail ar
rangements do not enable them 10 make
their wants known, or to derive assurance of
relief. The Indians are committing depreda-
ton and shocking outrages in every quarter,
and no one doubts the necessity o! giving
them thorough chastisement.
An article in the Gazette of the 18th uIt.,
mentions the appointment by Gov Merri-
wethcr, of Ceran st. Vran, to the command
of battalion of volunteers, raised for the
protection of the inhabitants, and commends
the wisdom OF the selection. There is now
the utmost danger to any train travelling over
the Plains without an escort of soldiers.
Hostities seem to be spreading from tribe
to tribe on the whole route, threatening to
break out in deeds of violence and outrage
everywhere. Something should be done.

r;IsbT.RUNNING UPON RAILROADS.

INlJtt l-hO NNiNpt cAOAN ihiLiNOAiS'.
We have sometimes heard it remarked by
timid persons, that they would not travel by
night or, the Railroad-their impression be-
ing that there is s'more danger Of accidents
in the dark than during daylight. Upon first
thought, this would seem to be the fact; but
a writer in the Railroad Advocate, takes a
different view ofthe matter, and makes good
case. lie says there are many circumstances
which make night,running comparatively
safe. All work upon the track is Stopped
Comparatively few Other trains are on the
road. No draw. bridge would ever be likely
to remain open in the night. Switches are
more likely to be right than at other times
as they are not in use for other trains, and
are locked. The signals for night trains be-
ing made by LIGHT, would scarcely fail to be
observed and obeyed; and what is important,
would be seen at greater distance than any
other signal in daylight. The Engineer has
less to attract his attention than in the day
time. While. after all, rock or tree falling
across bend in the track in broad daylight,
or an intended obstruction, is nearly as much
"hidden danger" as encountered in the
night. There are many plaeesin nearly all
roads where the range Of view is less than
the reflection of the "head light" at night,
So, after all, IL would appear that one can
take nights rest in a railroad car with com
parative safety. t4 --.
