TIN FAME 1lusE ESGISE.-We examined the
new machine just housed by this Company on
Thursday, and find it a very handsome and com
pact affair. All the machinery Is closely attached
to the boiler aud is back OF lhe fore wheels. The
supports running from the boiler to the fore
wheels are in the form OF an arch allowing these
wheels to pass under it thus making il possible
for the engine to turn rs shortly as an express
wagon. All fircmen will recognize the decided
advantage of this arrangement.
The machine reflects great credit on the build
ing committee and builder, though the latter
would have deserved more credit ii he had given
a little more attention to the finishing touches
The building committee were David Woolman,
J. Morton Poole, Henry Fieldem eicr, John NJ
Stewart and Vim. f. Robinson. The builder is
Jacob B. Haupt, 720 Vine St.. Philadelphia. The
boiler is cncased in brass and on side of it is
the steam guage and on the other clock. We
should imagine the latter would not keep very
good time.
\ trial of the engine was made in Philadelphia
before she was brought down and we are informed
she threw stream Of water 2i5 feet, and threw
the spray 2j2 feet.

THE SMYRNA AND DELAwAE BAY r. R.-The
recent talk Of road acress New Jersey to termi-
nate at point opposite Bombay Hood, has re-
viyed the interest Of the friends of the above
named proposed road, and they are canvassing
the subject Of building their road to connect by
boat with the proposed rond in New Jersey. An
agent of the Vincland Railroad Company has
been to Smyrna to consult with the Directors of
the s. 4 d. B. X. r. on the subject and Mr..
Lands, President of the road, will visit that town
this week Tor the same purpose.
Should these proposed roads be built and be
successful, despite the great natural obstacle pre-
scented by the width of the Delaware river the
enterprise will be injurious To the interests 1T Til,
city. While the proposed road to terminate NJ
Pennsgrove has many advantages the other has
not 1t would equally scrye the interest OF the Pc
ninsula and be decill.ily beneficial to Whining
ton.
These considerations should prompt onr bust
ness men to energetic action in favor Of the coih-
plction Of the Rarlan ~ Delaware Bay Railroad
which We understand needs but little help Il
make it u complete success. If our business
men will not take hold of such matters, however
We cannot expect our friends in other sections o
/ the State to do ii for them.

Water spout.

nKMAskAuLE ruESoMENoN AT NEW cAsrLk-WA-
rrp spour Az. ACKNOWLEDGMENT DE
srRoYED.
Thursday, about l O'Clock, the people OF our
neiphboriug town of New Castle were thrown into
serious alarm by the advent of a most extraordi-
nary visitor, which came very suddenly from the
clouds. 1t was first observed, as an intelligent
eyewitness informs lis, opposite the town, on the
New Jersey side of the river From the surface
OF the water there arose an enormous cone OF
cloud from forty to sixty feet In diameter at the
base, very dense, very dark. From an oyerhang-
ing surchargea thunder cloud In the sky there de-
pended similar cone and the apexes OF the Two
met. The sky, at the time was not clear, the sun
was oscured, but there was no rain falling norany
general shower. The water in the two cones was
violently in motion whirling round aud round win
tht greatest rapidity and making a loud noise.
1t appeared TO be caught up from the river IN
great volume, and portions which fell back IN
spray, shone and sparkled brightly, making the
whole spectacle most beautiful, though terrifying
to tile beholder.
The spout moved rapidly across the river Ia
king perhaps some ten or fifteen minutes to reach
this side. II entered the town Of New Castle. on
the upper side and struck first frame dwelling on
the river bank, occupied by colored family.
The force of the shock was tremendous yet the
column OF water did not envelop the house but
rather brushed against IT, The Notwithstanding
was torn off, every window bursted, and the
iane studding of the building wrenchcd out oil
place The fence around was torn loose and car
lied away After this exploit 1t passed on
across the lots towards the shops OF MIR. John
Churnsde, tearing up fences and everything that
came in its way ; fortunately for MIR. Churnside
il passed to the north OF his shops thereby eSc',-
ping a very heavy loss of property and perhaps
life the edge OF the Maclstrom however, reacll'
cd some wagons. drills, and moving machines,
Standing al the end oftlc shop. Atwo horse eX'
press wagon was picked up carried several rod'
and after being tossed about in every conceivable
manner was thrown Out of the roaring vortex,
broken almost to atoms.
Another dearborn was drawn in and torn to
pieces A large heavy grain drill was gathered
up and set down on the opposite side of the road.
Near here, a little child was picked up and car
ricd some dstancl--perhaps hundred feet -ovci
the fence into neighborng yard, where it was
SET down uninjurcd. As it crossed the road i'm
mense clouds al dust and other matter wcrt
caught up and wliirled around with the water.
The hurricane or whatever it might now bi
called-procccdrd on its way up the meadow o
MIR. Janyier, taking up everything that came ii
the way Of its progress horses and cattle max
Ing good time to get out of its way. The storm
now appeared to be on the decrease. The cylin
dric funnel had almost disappeared, and yet whit
we stood and watched its progress up the inca
dow, a couple of trees which had withstood th'
tempcsts of ages were torn up by the roots ont
thrown aside.

Shall we Ever Know Moro About
the Planets.

Such is the immensely Of space between us
and the nearest planetary body it seems almost
impossible in the present state of knowledge to
make much progress in regard to the exact
structure or physical condition OF the solar
group. However, telescopes are constantly re-
vealng great and unlocked for things in regions
above the sky, and it is by no means improbable
that astounding discoveries are destined to
crown with illustrious fame some bold genius in
coming day that may entirely eclipse those
which are recorded among the grandest achieve
ments of the human intellect.
Telescopes have not attained the perfection of
which it is universally admitted by practical as
tronomers they are susceptible. Very huge in
sru'nents are found in the principal national OBJ
servatories Of Europe and America, but they fall
quite below what they should be in such institu-
tons, SO long as the fact is admitted that there il
no positive limit to their power.
No rejecting telescope has been made 40 large
as'should be constructed to comport with the
dignity of the service in which it would be en-
ployed nor has an object-glass exceeded about
three feet The expense Of metallic specuum
twenty feet, and an object-glass three wards in
diameter, would open to the human eye unex-
plored fields i'll celestial domains We might
have portions of the moons surface brought ap-
parently within ten miles,of the earth. If there
are any large artificial structures there, or even
on some Of the other planets, equal to tho Ahat
have been reared here, they could be distinctly
examined. Forests, mountains lakes, rivers and
other objects would be clearly defined
But the prodieious expense of pcrfecting two
such magnificent appendages to the two kinds Of
telescopes aecd for distant exploration is wholly
beyond the resources Of any save millionares
If one of these favored mortals would secure t
himself cyclop~dial Immortality let him ordc
tho fabrication of q telescope that would show
to Ms the glores of Gods creations where n,
philosopher has yet gazed; it would enlarge tn
boundaries Of science, give us higher concep
tons OF the illmtable resources Of greatly
