SAMPSON KIRBY.

Another man whose name will ever be
remembered in the annals Of 'The Strong
Men," was Sampson Kirby, a member Of
the old Inrincible Fire Co., No. g. Kirby,
after performing various feats Of almost
unheard-of strength, attempted toilift and
actually did lift, both hind wheels of the
famous fire engine Fame, which belonged
-to.the above Company. Some idea may
be formed of the weight of this lift from
the fact that the engine weighed over 4,

The Russian Frigate General
Admiral.

This gigantic ship was built and fitted
out by w. H. Webb, the eminent ship
builder of New York City, for the Rus
sian Government. She is 5000 tonnage
burden, and is the largest ship af1oat, ex-
cepting, of course, the Great Eastern :
She recently sailed for Russia, via. Cher
bourg, which place she reached in eleven
days running time. This is about equal
to going to Liverpool from New York in
ten days. This, for a screw steamer, on her
first trip, is the fastest sailing on record
In crossing over she passed steamers, clip
per ships, and vessels with the greatest
ease. She has proved herself to be the
swiftest, and is the most perfect war ship
in the world, not even excepting the far
famed Niagara.
The General Admiral, with her enor-
nous strength, weight of metal, and great
speed, is supposed to be a match for any
two ships ahoat, leaving the Niagara out.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Religions RerivaIs.

We notice by our exchanges thar religious
reyivals are quite general at this time in va
rious portions of Ohio. In Marion county con-
siderable additions have been made to the Meth
Odist and Baptist Churches, and prOtracted
meetings are in progress. In Harrison county
large additions have been made to the Metho-
dist Churches, and the Cadiz Republican says
''the meeting at New Athens has abounded
with phenomena. A great number of persons
fell like dead men, and when their sincerity
was tested by those who were skeptical relative
to the cause, they have proved to be entirely
unconscious. Between seventy and one hun
dred have been added to the church there -
Some fifty members have recently been added
to the Baptist Church in Zanesville, and the
work is progressing. At Oleana and other
towns in Huron county revival MEETINGS are
being held with success, and quite revival is
progressing in the Methodist Church at Medina
At Rayenna and Psinesville unusual interest
prevails in the Disciple Churches
The Detroit Advertiser learns that there is
general awakening throughout Michigan on the
subject of religion. Protracted meetings have
been held for several weeks past in various parts
of the State There have been one hundred
and twenty additions to the Presbyterian Church
in Ypsilant.

City ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS NIovenent.

We learn by the Oberlin Evangelist that the
leading members of nearly all the evangelical
churches of this city met some weeks ago to
deliberate on the best means of bringing the
gospel in contact with the largest number of
minds among the hitherto neglected and gospel
negleetiDg classes. The result of several con
ferences has been the calling on all churches
willing to enlist in work of city missions to
select, each of them, field or fields wherein
they shall be responsible for maintaining a
weekly prayer meeting, Sabbath School, tract
distribution, and religious visiting This call
has been generally responded to, and many
churches have appointed committees to explore
and f1 upon stations Several churches have
the plan in full operation. Among them, the
Congregational Church, West Side, is aiding to
sustain three local Sabbath Schools, and week
ly prayer meetings in the same localities, and is
about establishing fourth station.

BARoNETERs.-The Scientific Artizau tells how
truthful and cheap barometer may be cOnstruc-
ted. "Tske clean glass bottle, and put in it
small quantity Of fine pulverized alum; then Gil
up the bottle with spirits Of wine. The alum will
be perfectly dissolved by the alcohol, and in clear
weather the liquid wiz be as transparent as the
purest water. On the approach of rain or cloudy
weather, the alum will be visible in aaky. spiral
cloud in the center of the fluid reaching from the
bottom to the surface. This il a cheap, simple
and beautiful barometer, and is placed within the
reach Of all who wish to possess one. For sim,
picity of construction, this is altogether superior
to the frog barometer, in general use in Germa.

| SMASH Up AT THE ROLLING MILL.--Yesterd
afternoon as the WOrkmen at the Railroad Iron
Mil, on the Lake Shore Railroad on returning
from dinner, were just commencing work, break
in the machinery occurred, resulting in loss Of
from $1,000 to $4,000. Ths Engineer was at his
post and all was going on smoothly, the Engine
had got fairly at work under good speed, when
the Engineer heard a fracture in some part of the
works. lie had presence of mind enough to shut
of the steam and jump to one side, when two i'm
mense gearing wheels and fly wheel twenty feet
in diameter and weighing twenty tons, which were
directly in front of him. few into pieces and hurl-
ed wood and iron into promiscuous mass upon
the spot where he was just before standing. He
had narrow escape with his life. One of the
gear wheels was sixteen feet in diameter, and
weighed, Obably, as many tons. The other was
eight feetin diameter. Both Of them we're of SOL
id cast iron, which one would suppose could hard.
iy be broken. The fly wheel had very heavy
and solid circumference, which was connected
with the shaft by wrought and cast rods of four or
Eve inches through. These rods or spokes Of the
wheel were broken, bent and twisted like wires
A segment of the wheel which will weigh over a
ton, was carried, by the centrifugal force, up
through the Ventilator in the roof and dropped on
the bank of the lake, some twenty or thirty rods
distant Anotherpiece went up through the same
hole and came down through the roof with crash.
Segments of these wheels were scattered about
like tops, although the most of them were within
a few feet of the Engineer.
Thecause of the accident must have been some
defect in one of the gear wheels This breaking,
caused the other to break, which threw the shaft
of the fly wheel out of its place, breaking the
wheel into pieces.
No person was injured at all by the smash up in
the machinery. This accident will stop the prO>
gress of business at the mill for three or four
weeks, during which time the most of the work.
men employed will be compelled to be idle.
The tremendous power of steam was fully il
lustrated by this accident. This iron wheels and
ponderous works were thrown about like play>
things; as if giants like the Colossus of Rhodes
had been tossing them about for amusement and
had thrown down the wheels in pet fi

On InfideI Greetings and Christian Returns!
At a recent meeting in Cincinnati to celebrate
the birth day of Tom Paine, the following toast
was offered, which we had not seen until it ap-
peared in the columns of the N. Y. Times:
"At the recent celebration of Tom Paine's
birth day at Cincinnati, the infidss present
toasted The Hereto Clergy, Parker, Emerson,
Conway, Chaplin, Beecher, and all who love
man above ell creeds and seets and rituals and
observance, who regard man as the highest, no
liest and most sacred of all in the universe
may their motto be ever onward, greater free
dom and clearer light. ~ s,= O. =
We have felt some hesitation in appropriating
the family designation to ourselves. There is
q venerable man, DR.. Lyman Beecher, who al
WAYS slowed man above creeds and sects and
rituals and observances, :" and who endeavored
for more than half century to employ creeds,
sects, rituals, and observances for the promotion
of the good of all men. It may be him that
is meant. Or, these gentlemen might have had
in mind another one of the same name, who
has, for the sake of mankind, put Samson quite
into the background. For this sacred Hercules
carried off the gates Of GAIA, and escaped from
his enemies. But DR.. Edward Beecher has
gone far back ofGaza, to the gates of Tine, and
unlatehed, unhlnged, and walked OH with the
doors of the world on his shoulders, so that men
can walk back and forward between pre-exis-
tent world and this one, as one would walk
from chamber to parlor, or from parloT to bou-
doirl He too is Just the man described as one
who prefers men to creeds, sects, e t., and has
endeayored to serve men by means Oftheml q
Then there are several others Of this family
name of precisely the same disposition. We
have called no family synod, and yet we venture
to say that every one Of that name not only,
bat Of every name that calls upon our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, love man above ereeds,
setcs, etc, when they are in their most truly
Christian dispositions.
Nor do we except to the expression which
makes man to be the "highest and holiest, and
most sacred of all in the universe, if our jndel
friends meant man as now represented by Christ,
who became man that he might lift nup

THE Four GREAT LINEs,-0n Wednesday next,
the 23d, the adjourned meeting of the representa-
tives Of the Four Great Eastern Lines will be held
in New York, at which time stormy debate may
be expected and it is probable that the result will
be the abrogation of the compact now existing, or
rather struggling for life, between those four lines
The Central and the Erie Roads are in this, as in
most points, at swords points The Central intends
to increase their rate of speed, thereby practically
rendering that route the shortest Erie not be-.
ing able, on account of heavy grades and sharp
curves, to Tetalliate in the same manner, an.
nOunces that the fare viii be ruced TO IS between
New York and Buffalo, or Dunkirk. The South
ern lines, meanwhile, are not idle Agents and So
citors are to be appointed and located at principal
points at the West, and inrOads are being made by
each upon the territory Of the other. The agree
ment had better be boldly annulled than to be thus
disregarded while it purports to be binding.
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1859-02-19

In this connection, the following sensible arti-
Gle from the Cincinnati Commercial will be found
worthy of notice and consideration:
1t occurs to US that sufficient time has passed
since the election of Charles Moran to the Presi-
deney of the N. Y. & Erie Railroad Company, for
discerning public to form an opinion as to his
fitness for that place. We think him unfit.
That Mr.. Moran is an honest man and consei
entous in the devotion Of sll his abilities to the
Company's interests, there is no question, Nor
should there be doubt to the fact of his hav-
ing exerted q beneficial influence in Railway con-
Tentions and upon the general financial manage
ment Of Railway property. II is as superinter d.
ing ohcer IN the immediate management Of the
Road that he has signaly failed. No man igno>
rant Of the infinite details in regard to that vast
property, and Of the men in its army Of employee
as must be the President, who rules all from his
Office in New York; can produce any better than
the wretched results which the last report of the
Erie Road develops. The line is earning over
Eve millions per annum, and yet the Company is
going behind and the energies of its Executive
well nigh absorbed il schemes of borrowing mo-
ney to postpone BY slittle longer the evil day.
The trouble of the Erie road may be measured
by the remoteness Of the head from the trunk and
limbs. Throughout that great stretch Of iron
lines for four hundred and sixty miles, there seem
to be no parties personally interested in its own
ershlp. Inere are no evidences OF immediate
supervision and vigilent pains-taking, without
which any great work must go down. The em>
ployees are sulleu and dissatisfied, and the officers
are regarded rather as spies than as friendly Di-
rsetors and co.workers, and the whole scene is
one Of cherries but splendid ruin. If H1
Mr.. Moran as a financial Commissioner, or as
an Executive wise enough to commit the entire
management Of the Operative Department to
competent and faithful hands, would be invaIua-
BILE. As President and Superintendent be
would ruin the richest road on the continent. 1t
never seems to have entered the head of Mr.. No.
ran that men do not live by bread alone; that
railway employees do not work for money alone.
There must be sympathy and respect and personal
presence. A Railroad cannot be governed by ab-
stractons. 1t is not increased receipts nor yet in
q monomania for the detection Of an employ ee in
a wrong act that constitute elements in a strong
Administration. To trust and to repose conf
dence, is more important than to watch for the
acts which destroy confidence.
The Erie road viii yet be divided into four or
hve distinct sections or departments, each direct
ed by Competent men whom the Company shall
succeed in interesting directly in the profitable
management of the property.
