1'repo"tion Of dust IN Rail,oay Cars--In or
der to prevent dust from entering railroad cars,
it has been proposed TO arrange series of defiec
tors along the sides of the locomotive and the
entire train of cars in such a. manner that Sc
ries of funnel shape chambers will be formed !;
these run into each other, and form a continu-
GUS channel for dust and air under the cars to be
confined in, while the funnel shape mouths at
the front Of the locomotive receive powerful
outside pressure of air. The air, by the .po-
sition of the dehectors, is forced into less than
its ordinary space, causing an extraordinary
suction current under the train, which concen.
trates and carries the dust arising from the
wheels with tinto the artificial channel under
the cars, and confines it nntlit escapes at the
end of the train the open mouths Of the deflec-
tors on the sides of the cars also serving as chan.
nels for any side dust which may happen to
come in contact with them, to be sucked through
into the central channel.

A CanK-Mrs Hodges returns her sincere
aud grateful thanks to the employees Of the q.
& P. Railroad, (river division for the welcome
donation they kindly extended to her and her
children, through the respect they entertained
for her husband, who was hurt on the above
road the 3lst of last March, and departed this
life April 4th, 1858.
Her prayer is that their lives may be bright
and happy, as hers is now dark and desolate
and if ever their families are called to pass
through the trial she has, that they may find as
kind and generous friends as she has in the boys
of the c. & P. Railroad.

4 Horse tS,oap and St0indle.-.sevcral
days since, ex-policeman Clayton of this city
met man named Wiley, from bridgeport
Wiley bantcred Clayton to trade horses. After
the usual amount of talk in which each party
showed up the merits of his animal, alegitimate
swap was effected, Clayton agreeing to give
twelve dollars to boot Wiley took his new ami
NAL home and next day returned and wanted to
''rue back" Clayton refused and Wiley went
away again, casting wistful look upon his
former piece of horseaesh. Yesterday, Clayton
took load of nails over to Bridgeport, and had
no sooner arrived in town than his horse was
seized by the officers, Clayton was told that the
horse never belonged to Wiley, but to somebody
else. OF course, he made no resistance, but
came back to the city, having been effectua!ly
euchred out of not very valuable piece of
horscfesh. Claytor's first horse is still in
Bridgeport, but there is large bill for board
standing against him which renders his re-
mOval doubtful stroke of policy as regards pc.
cuniary profit.
