FRosr IN RAILROAD Car wHssLs.AThe
Albany Journal says that during the last
three weeks, upon the eastern end Of the
Albany and Utica division Of the Central road,
six large six-inch nxles in driving wheels were
snapped off. Last week the spokes Of one Of
the fve.foot drying wheels Of an express en-.
gine were all jerked off the hub at crack,
and the rim of the wheel was thrown up into
cab. The fracture Of the axle takes place
in all cases close to the wheel. The break Is
vertical, and with q comparatively plane face
where the iron is inferior, and Jagged and
siringy where It is excellent.
The fracture of wheels and nxles takes
place mostly early in The morning, about sun.
rise. The day succeeding one of intense cold
is more fatal to iron under strain, it is aaid,
than the cold day itself. Straining is deemed
q severer test than percussion.

yEHE undersigned Commissioner of Lotteries of
IL the State of Maryland, being in receipt daily
of letters from various portions Of the country
king inquiry as to Lottery Schemes with which the
country is flooded, and which purport to be decided
by the drawings of the Maryland Consolidated Lot
teres" takes this method to answer all such letters
of inquiry, and inform the public that all Lotteries
purporting to be decided by the Maryland Drawings
are gross frauds that certain parties who style them
selves Morris Co., and pretend to be Managers or
Sole Agents for the Grand Charter Lotteries of Ceve
land, Ohio, are impostors and said Lottery fraud
having neither legal nor presumptive existence; and
that another fictitious firm, styled Murry Co.,
Cleveland, Ohio, are also impostors, and all Lotte
res which they profess to be managers agents for
are also frauds.
RICHARD FRANCE, of this city, is the contrac-
tor for Drawing the Maryland Lotteries the business
conducted under the firm of r. FRANCE & CO., as
Managers and they have no sole agents in the city
of Baltimore There are, however some forty licensed
venders for the State of Maryland who derive license

supply the agrculturists of the neighborhood with

NEW SroRE.-If call at Richard G.. Hyatt's
store on Seventh street. satipfes every one of
his capabilities to supply anything that may
be wanted in the dry goods line, as wen as
it did ON Saturday, his store would be as full
of customers as it was then. We hav'nt the
slightest doubt but that his new arrangements at
tracted much attention, but we are induced to the
belief that his advertisement in the Organ attrac-
ted more. We belive it safe criterion of mans
business, to Judge of it by his advestsing, for ac-
cording to the amount of his advertising, is the
amount Of his business. For example, see Mr..
Hyatt's advertisement, and then see the crowd of
customers in his store in the aftetnoon.
