In Locomotives

The litter OF Nj. Hayes In the PRESS AID Tai.
BrSE o! Dec, 31st, in reply to OUT notice OF the use
Of coal, in the Daily of Dec 3oh, would appear to
require some little explanation on our part. In
the hrst place, Ar. Hayea appears to labor under
tie idea That We have written 1ather ha,tl]y and
Without reliable data, and labors to give the in
p1eSslon that We take issue against the use Of
coal. 10 correct any Misrepresentation On the
part ol A'sn.cf and tie Turning public who take

against a more extended trial. It is to he hoped
That the subject Ill be pursued ior it would ap.

good advantage as in stationary engines. The
Company lave au abundant supply Of dry wood
