The Pennsylvania Central r. r.

The Pennsylvania Central Railroad is
one of the most stupendous, and magni6-
cent internal Improvements of this coun.
try or in the world. No triumph of engin.
eering was ever more complete than that
achieved by the survey and location of this
road across the towering Alleghenies, at an
inclination SO slight and so gradual. 1t is
very justly the pride Of the noble Key
stone State which it traverses, adorns, and
enriches. From its far eastern, to its re-
hottest western boundary it connects in
closest relationship its tao great metropolis
with impregnable bands Of iron, while it
is the conduit for the drainage of large
proportion Of its immense stores of miner
al wealth, and the "circulating medium"
for much Of the social as well as CONNER
cial intercourse Of the State. But greater
than all its other uses in importance, is
that of carrying the passengers and freig ht
from the great West, to the Seaboard-
this road with the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
l. Chicago r. r., forming a. continuous
and unbroken line from Lake Michigan to
Delaware Bay.
The track of this road, manufactured of
the best American irnn, rests the whole
distance upon road bed ballasted with
broken stone, and is deservedly cele-
brated for its smoothness, firmness and
solidity. Its cars are fully up to all the
requirements Of this inventive, progressive
age, and in its superb, sleeping saloon
accommodations are certainly unexcelled
and in our opinion unequalled by those Of
any other Eastern line. Its good manage
meht also, in general and detail, is as sys-
tematic and prompt as the daily departure
and arrival of its trains.-W eHern r. Il.

CALAMITY AND COURAGE OF CoLoN-
81 SuMNER-II1s LOVE AFFAIR WITH
TIE QUEEN OF SPA1N.-The Mac-a-cheek
Press relates this instance of the courage
and gallantry Of Col. Sumner, late COM
panion Of Mr.. Lincoln, on his journey to
Washington:
In the summer Of 1855 he was sent to
Europe on special mission connected with
the War Department, and madeat the same
time bearer of dispatches to our Legation
ut Madrid, by Governor Marcy, the then
Secretary Of State.
Col. Summers dispatches referred to the
.Hlack Warrior affair, and he proceeded at
once to deliver them to Mr.. Soule, our
Minister.
The Colonel was presented, Of course, to
the Queen Of Spain, and said some hand
some thiags to Her Majesty, which Mr..
Soule's ready wit aud oily tongue made
very sparkling, in the translation from
English into Spanish. The Queen was
struck. We would not be considered ex-
travagant by those knowing the parties and
remembering the Colonels tall, handsome
person and soldierly address, and the sus-
ceptibility Of Her Majesty, to say that the
Queen was smitten.
That same afternoon the Colonel rccciv-
81 a polite note from Her Majesty, invit-
Ing him to little supper, in the gardens
Of the palace, to which only her intimate
friends and associates were admitted.
) "Ah! this is a COMPLIMENTS high
honor" said Mr.. eoulo:
DWELL, sir" responded the Colonel, "at
what hour precisely shall I go?"
"But you will not 60" said Mr.. Soule.
"Why not ?"
"These Spaniards are very much excited
about this Cuban business; hate US Amer
Jeans, and if you go near the palace after
night, you will be watched, followed and
assassinatcd. I dare not do such thing"
"Mr. Soulc," responded Colonel Sum-
ner, with emphasis, "when pretty woman
invites me to a supper, I go, assassination
or no assassination"
The Colonel was as good as his word.-
At the proper time, he tucked his sword
under his arm, and drove away. He ap-
peared next morning at breakfast in his
usual good health and spirits. Such men
are seldom assassinated.

Wheat.

Cut wheat before it is quite ripe, better
a little too early than too late. The fol
lowing is Prof. Norton's opinion;
g The time Of cutting grain very sensi-
bly, affects the proportion of fine -four and
bran yielded by samples Of it. Careful ex-
perimenis have shown, with regard to wheat,
that when cut from 10 to Ia days before it
is fully ripe, the grain not only weighs heav-
Ter, but measures more; it is positively bet
ter in quality, producing larger proper
ton of fine -four to the bushel. When
the grain is in the milk. there is but little
woody FIBRE nearly everything is starch,
gluten, sugar, &c, with a large percentage
of water. IF cut 10 OF y days before full
ripeness, the stock Of woody fibre is still
small but as the grain ripens, the thick
ness of the skin rapidly increases, woody
fibre being formed at the expense of the
starch and sugar; these most obviously di'
minish in a corresponding degree, the quail
i;y of the grain being of conrse injured
The same thing is true as to all Of the 9th
er grains"
