Chancellor Livingstone, ffty-six years ago
wrote letter expressing doubts as to the
practicability of railroads. The wall on
which they are placed must be at least four
feet below the surface and three above, and
must be clanped with iron, and even then
would hardly sustain so heavy a weight as
yoI propose moving at the rate of four
miles an hour, on wheels. As to wood, it
would not last week They must be COW
cred with iron, and that, too, very thick
and strong The means of stopping these
heavy carriages without great shock, and
of preventing them running into each other
for there would be many running upon the
road at once-would be very difficult. In
case of accidental stops, or necessary stops
to take wood and water, &c, many acci-
dents would happen. The carriage of con-
densiDg water would be very troublesome.
Upon the whole, fear the expense would
be much greater than that of canals, without
being so convenient. E,

DIR. Gatling, the inventor of the celebra-
ted gun which bears his name, was at the
Watcrvliet Arsenal on Wednesday, and
tested the piece in the presence of the 9th
GERS of the post. The gun, carriage inclu-
ded weighs about seven hundred pounds,
has SIX barrels, and revolyes in manner
similar to the old fashioned ''pepper-box
revolvers The balls used on this OCCASION
were of the ordinary musket size, with a
metallic cartridge attached. the solid oak
target was placed at distance of one hun
dred yards from the gun, and the discharges
were at the rate OF about one hundred per
minute, he balls penetrating the target to
the depth of two inches The cartridges
are placed in hopper, and by turning
crank the piece is revoved, the cartridges
placed in the barrels and fired. If desira-
ble lateral train motion may be kept up
while the gun being discharged, SO that
one perfect sheet of balls can be made to
sweep section of any circle within Its
range. & .

A Crow SToRY.-The Albany Knicker-
booker narrates the following: Our friend
Chris. Rapp owns small farm on the
Schenectady turnpike, just this side of the
junction. Upon the farm is small but
dense wood. He recently leased the farm
to "a bone dealer, who purchased from all
the bone dealers in the city and ships his
stock to other sections. AT times immense
quantities of bones are accumulated. This
was the case short time since, and, as a
consequence, many crows were attracted to
the spot. Imagine the surprise of Nlr.
Rapp, who visited the farm day or two
since, to find on the group of the wood the
bodies of about two thousand dead crows
In fact the ground was literally covered.
1t was supposed, of course, that the birds
had been attracted by the smell of the
bones; a snow storm set in, which covered
the bones, and the crows fingered in hope of
securing prey. A cold snap followed, and
the death of the large number above record
ed was the result.

Oh honeysuckles, dainty sweet,
NV heart is filed with love OF you,
With never dying love of you -,.--.--
Won mind me of that afternoon
In rosy, sunny, dreamy June,
When all the air was fun of you.
And every wind was faint with you;
We sat beneath the leafy shade
The heavy twisted grape vine made,
And here and there among its green
You graceful hung and graceful swung
Your blossoms, fit to deck a queen
But one bright sun ray ventured IN,
And lay upon the cool stone floor
Looking as though band of gold 5
Had fallen from beauteous arm, -a
And. still with life and beauty warm,
De6ed Old Time to make it cold.
He said the same thing DER and DER,
Fond words that braided in with you II
And your rare fragrance. crimson flowers,
oh, You we're part of those dear hours,
When all the air was full of you. z.a.z
When every wind was faint with you
And my heart grew in love Nth you!

"A naughty general who had riser from

day reviewing his troops took notice of a

office Of Register in Chancery, by Chief
Justice Chase, under the recent Bankrupt

ielory. Being Il young lawyer Of consider
able promise; dilisent in application 10 his

his legitimate functions, will he careful to
sec that equal and exact Justice shall be
