Mr.. Dyer Williams, Locomotive Su.
perintendent Of the Central Railroad
at Syracuse, informs the Ralway
Repiew that, according to his expert
ence, nine out of ten Of the crank
axles that break give way on the
left hand side. AT first that appear

sffost had been made to adjust both
sides Of the engine alike, naturally

The Judge had conscientious scruples

high glee with his companions over
the beef. When it was given out to
the successful shooters, our Governor
ordered his to be divided among

HoME MANUFACTURES. - McKeeEers Southern

uses of their business an express wagon which will
bear favorable comparison, in all its parts, with
any carriage makers work ever turned out in any

Mayors coach, in which Wilmington, Of feline tin
tinnabuatory memory, rode, in newly-elected
state, through London. The manufacturer Of this

has done, and in most instances they will doubtless
be as well satisfied as he with the experiment.
