ORvGIS OF APnRAsE.-'IIe's cut Dido.
1t is told in the history that Dido, a queen
Of Tyre about eight hundred and seventy
years before Christ, fled from that place on
the murder of her husband, and with COL
ony settled on the northern coast of africa
where she built Carthage. Being in want Of
land, she bargaincd with the natives for as
much land as she could surround with a
bulls hide. Having made agreement, she
cut bulls hide into thin strings, and tying
them together, claimed as much land as she
could surround with the long line she had
thus made. The natives allowed the cum
ming queen to have her way, but when any
body played sharp trick they said he had
cut Dldo,' and the phrase come TO our
day.

THE Mosr "PRoGREssIvE" MAN OF THE
AGE.-Judge Meigs, in paper lately read
by HIM before the American Institution farm
ers' Club at New York, stated that so far
fiom the locomotive having reached its ult-
nahum of sprrd-one hundred an horr-it
WIS his b. lief that the road would yet
be constructed over which the Iron horse
will move with velocity OF three hundred
miles an hour. Then travellers could take
an early breakfast in New York dine in San
Francisco, and, transacting any little bnsi-
neess they may have on hand during the al
ternon, and return in the might train, and
on the next day say good morning" to the
pedestrians on Broadway. The Philadel-
phia Ledger however, says:
A speed Of three hundred miles IN hour,
it has been estimated. would require PTS
ton velocity OF $500 per minute, OF eigh-
teen inch stroke, if the driving wheels were
twenty four feet in circumference; and
these driving wheels would have to make
HOO revolutions per minute. To accom-
plish this feat the boiler, would have 10
evaporatc ION Of water per minute. Does
Judge Meigs know Of any locomotive that
can accomplish all this If not, as Ne have
never seen or heard II any such machine
we cannot see how this great railroad speed
is 10 be obtained; and this difficulty must
make the invention of the Judges fast loco
motive an achievement yet belonging 10 the
apoch-yphal future

Reported for the Chronicle,
kdjovrDe2 Railroad McstinS.

Saturday, October 90, 1855, in rursu-
ancc of adjournment, the Friends of the
Lcwisburg, Centre & Spruce Railroad re-
assembled at the public house Of Wm. Eli
lert, in Uartlcton. Jous +. WILSON,
Esq, the President of the former meeting,
again in the Chair
\ letter was read from VIM. c. DUNCAN,
Eco, of Millhein, stating his inability to
attend, but stating the anxiety of the peo-
pie of that place for the road, and their
intcntioasto cooperate with the friends
from this county.
Mr. Halfpenuy, from tie committee to
solicit subscriptions for Hartley township,
produced subscription showing plumber
of shares subscribed to the Lcwisburg,
Centre 4 Spruce Creek Railroad in said
township since last meeting, which was
held on the day of the county fair. The
Lewisburg substitution was also produced,
but not one from Mililinburg, nor was any
person present representing Mitilinburg;
even the spectaclcd pill-pedlcr who made
SO much fuss on the day Of the fair, did
not make his appearance, as he and others
promised if they would adjourn the meet
ing. None of the New Berlin, or West
Bufaloe, or Limestone, or Hartley men;
Who wanted the meeting adjourned and
declared themselves better friends of the
Road than they who called i: and have
subscribed stock for it, were present.
Col. JAMES MOORE, of East Buffaloc,
being called on, ably portrayed the prac'i-
cability and Importance Of the road, and
showed that it vas very important link
to form connection between the cities of
Cincinnati and New York, and insisted
that immediate action ought to be taken
to place it under contract.
He was followed by Capt. John Wilt, Of
Hartley, George F. Miller, and John B.
Linn, Esqs., of Lewisburg.
A committee was then appointed, con-
sisting of John Wilt, Mark Halfpenny,
John F. Wilson, George Dreisbach, and
William Cameron, Esqs., to ascertain the
amosn, subscribed along the line Of the
proposed route, and to take measures to
have the company organized with as Little
! delay as possible.

Nc tIlilOlldAj OtL again
Our readers will remember, that some
months ago visit Of Mitiiinburgers to
Milton was followed by furious attack
upon Lewisburg (to aid Miflin burg) from
the Mltoaiaa-also that Mr.. REED, can
dida.e for an Office, circulated rcmoustran.
ccs against the proposed annexation of the
supper end to Union county. Reed got
more signers tLan votes, though but feW
of either; and the Miltonian's Influence
