THE IRON CARA recent trip to Patterson
enabled the New York Tribune to examine
the new iron railway car in actual use. 1t is
made to seat the usual number of passengers,
but is much lighter than the ordinary wood
en- car. The plates Of the boiler iron are uni-
ted together in such manner as to create
the greatest possible strength throughout.
Outside it is painted oak color, and the hume
rous rivets give 1t the massive appearance Of
n Gothic door. Inside, the panels between
the large windows are ornamented witt
tasteful painting, the seats are covered will
crimson plush, and there is drawing room
elegance throughout the apartment. The
Era Railroad Company have but one car
now completed, but they are so satisfied OF
its superiority for preserving passengers un-
hurt in cases Of accident, as well as for III
durability, that it is likely to come into gen.
eral use, In view of the large proportion
deaths and minor injuries which result from
the crushing Of wooden cars when throw
down embankments or when in collision
with each other. it is to be hoped that tn
result Of this first attempt to employ iron Il
place of wood will prove satisfactory

DR.. L. j. CZAPKAY, is already secured In a position
which places it, as well as its proprietor, far above
the assaults of envy and professional malice In the
schools of France, the highest prizes often award
ed to practitioners in this department of Medical
science, and they occupy with Others equally lofty
position in the profession. Ricord is an lustrous ex-
Rmpe, shining light among the philosophical stars of
his age in Europe and DR.. Czapkay has fully equaled
him in this country, as proof of which, the Pha-
delpha College of Medicine complmented him with
Diploma, and the honorary al euRdeB degree. Sc
ecting this as his field Of operation although qualified
as graduate of the University of Pesth, and late
Chief Surgeon of the Hungarian Revolutionary army

his earnest attention to the cure of chronic and pr

OF the proprietors, and is adopted from the fact
that it is found, after long experiment to com

difficulty at the sea board cities.
