Important-Novel Invention for Rail-
roads.

mportant-NOVel Invention for Rail-
roads.
A gentleman Of this place shows US the
model Of an invention intended to prevent
collisions and other accidents on railroads.
We are scarcely competent to describe It,
but from what he has told and shown US,
we are certain that if his plan Se adopted
many of the accidents incident to railroads
would be obyiated 1t is his intention TO
have it patented as soon as he can secure
partner to furnish the funds to pay the
expenses Of obtaining patents in France and
England, rs we'll as this country. He viii
furnish a model and obtain patent in the
United States, and allow any one a half
interest in it for $500, and a half interest
in any other country for the simple expense
of obtaining patent in those countries
From its simplicity we feel confident that
when once adopted it viii become a general
thing, as it viii do away with all other kinds
of signals as by this invention any official
on the road can stop any train, when de-
sired, at any distance. He can shut off the
steam of a running engine at distance Of
five miles as well as if he were on the en-
ginc- A the same time the conductor Of
any train that may be stopped on any part
OF the road, can prevent any other train from
coming nearer than one-half mile, by stop
ping the approaching engine.

The following beautiful thOaghts are from

the pen Of George D. Prentice:
There is but a breath of air and beat
of the heart, betwixt this world and the
next And in the brief interval Of painful
and awful suspense, while we feel that death
is present with us, that we are powerless
and He all powerful, and the lest faint
pulsation here is but the prelude of endless
life hereafter; we feel, IN the midst Of the
stunning calamity about to befal US, that
earth has no compensation too good to
mitigate the severity of our loss. But there
IS no grief without some benificent provision
to soften its intenseness. When the good
and the lovely die, the memory of their good
deeds, like moonbeams on the stormy sea,
lights up cur darkened hearts, and lends to
the surrounding gloom, beauty so sad, so
sweet, that we would not, if we could, dispel
the darkness that enYirons it.

Coon HEALTH OF THE CTY.-The last report
Of the Board OF Health presents a very CRAFTY
ing view OF the health Of the city, Not sin
gle new case of cholera is reported, and the
whole number of deaths is stated to be but
four hundred and thirty-four. remarkably
small number, considering the peculiarities of
this season Of the year in northern cities. We
question whether there is a more healthy city
in the country at this time than the city Of
New York, and strangers can visit ii either for
business or pleasure with perfect impunity. so
far as danger from extraordinary diseases is
concerned The Board Of Health has done
good work in keeping the city clean and ahol-
shing certain nuisances prejudicial TO the
health Of our population. The reports from
quarantine are also favorable. In short We
believe we can safely say that the apprehen-
sions of an epidemic raging here this year have
passed for the season.

CRUELTY TO Doas.-In yesterdays issue
correspondent called attention to the shameful
waste of valuable material in the disposition
made of the carcasses of the fifteen or twenty
thousand dogs destroyed annually in this city
during the summer. This gentleman desires
to make glue and leather Of the dogs hides, oil
of their fat, and boneblack OF their bones, and
guarantees a profit of ten thousand dollars
from the operation. This is a much more
practical idea than that of Mr.. Bergh, who con-
nives at the Wholesale slaughter Of the dogs, on
the ground that il is perhaps better for them to
die than to remain in this "hot and disagreeable
world" Mr.. Bergh cannot escape his RESPONSE
bility as President of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals in this way. He
may consent to have the dogs killed, in order
to guard us against the danger Of hydropho-
bia but at the same time he ought to be on
hand every afternoon, no matter how warm
the weather, to see that they are killed in a
humane manner, and not cruelty choked to
death by incompetent and inexperienced exc
cutioners like those who are permitted to judi
cially murder our criminals. After their death
some cnterprising person, such as our cores
pondent, should take charge OF the bodies and
transform them into cheap glue, oil and
leather.
