REMARKABLE RAILROAD INCIDENT The
Wheeling IVA Intelligencer tells the story Of
IN ambulance, drawn by two horses. which at
empted to cross the track of the Baltimore,land
Ohio Railroad, near Hsrper's Ferry, quite re.
Gently, as train was spproaching-so closely,
indeed, that the engine could not be stopped.
The horses had crossed the track but the am :
bulsnce was just fairly upon it when the pilot
struck the vehicle between the front and hind
wheels Is strange as it may seem, the horses
were instantly separated from the ambulance,
and the vehicle was lifted up and squsrely
seated upon the bumpers of the engine, where
it remained until the train Was stopped. The
ambulance contained sick soldier and four
or five officers, not one Of whom was injured
in the slightest degree. The horses also es.
capped unhurt. 1t Vas regarded as one Of the
most remarkable escapes on record.

gy@While in Mineral Point on Monday
last, we visited the tannery of Mr.. WHITNEY
SMITH, we found the old gentleman hard at
work, and apparently very busy, neverthe-
less he had the courtesy to lay aside bis
work and show us round his establishment.
He showed us leather tanned by himself
which is hard to beat in the United States,
it can't be told from French calf, and. we are
surprised at our shoe makers and harness
makers sending East for leather and receiv-
ing it here at an exorbitant price, whsn a
better article can be had right at home, at
lower rate, it is nothing but a false prejudice
which makes men send their hides to the
East and pay freight ON them, and then get
leather from there with heavy freight Dill,
rather than get it tanned right in their own
county, and done much superior to most of
the leather from the East, for Mr.. SMITH is
man of experience in the business.
His Tannery will be found on Commercial
st. opposite the City Hotel, Mineral Point.

may we'll be adopted generally, at least
where the higher priced machines can

The Florence Sewing Machine.

Years have been spent in its perfection,
as the Company were determined not to put
their machines into market until they could
sustain the assertion which they now make,
that they are the best IN the acorld!
The great quantity Of worthless Sewing
Machines that have been palmed off upon
an unsuspecting people by those without
character, from the fact that they were sold
at low price, is surprising, and in view OF
this state of things, we have made it a long,
untiring study to produce machine that
could in no way be classed among them,
and finally to lead the van of first class
Sewing Machines now in use. An intelli-
gent examination of its merits will show
that we have accomplished our object.

this machine over all others are: rs rever-
sible feed, feeding either to the right orleft
its perfect reliability, never skipping stitch

tor may wish to do.

The "Swamp Angel" as the soldiers
call one Of the batteries, was, hard job
it required 1000 days work, while
Wagner, Gregg, Moultrie, Sumter, Bee,
johnson, Mrs johnson, as we call an
other fort on James Island, for want of
a name, and over mile in length of
small batteries, all poured their shot and
shell into US the whole time we were
building it, after they saw the epaul-
ment above the grass. 1t stands On the
very softest of mud, twenty-five feet
deep, so soft that man will sink into
1t out of sight in few inmates if he
attempts to walk on it. We carried
10000 bags filled with sand more than
two miles, and brought over 800 large
logs and pieces of timber more than ten
miles to make the battery. Two miles
and half of bridges across the marsh
had to be built to get to and from the
batteries. 1t was no easy JOB to mount
the guus, but it has been done, and
only General Gilmore and Major Bait
Of the Engineers were willing to say
they believed the plan feasible.
