STEEL RAILS FOR RAILROADS.-It is
now generally believed that at no dis
tan6 day the use of iron rails in the
construction of railroads will be aban-
doned, and steel ones adopted as a SUBJ
stitute. Their superiority over iron
rails in durability will be readily adj
mitted; while the additional security to
life and property which they afford ,eon~
mends their general use to the cOnsid-
GRAFTON of our Railroad Managers. The
intense severity of the past winter DEM
onstrated mostclearly that iron, even of
the best manufacture, cannot withstand
exposure to the elements, while the
test given steel proves that it can. The
original cost of iron, it is well known is
notso great as steel; but when used for
railroad purposes, is in the end, far
more expensive, when it is reHem ber-
ed that a rail of steel, costing a little
more than double that of iron, will last
more than ten times as long as an iron
rail. We Lave been led to these re-
marks on hearing that the Erie Rail-
way Company had contracted for i'm
mediate use, the enormous quantity of
5000 tons of steel rails, a portion of
which have arrived, the remainder to
be delivered during this summer. It is
proposed by the Company to relay at
once such portions of its Line as are
subjected to the. greatest service, but ul-
GIn1ately to dispense with iron rails al

rails has already been vigorously CONF
meneed, and the indications are that by
the return of winter the work viii be
completed, and the whole Line placed
in the most thorough condition, insur-
ing safety, dispatch and the utmost reg
ularity in running of trains. Indeed,
at this time, the Erie railway is, and
has ever been, in as good condition as
tue average of the roads in the country;
but when the work now in progress Is
finished, but few Lines of Railway will
compare with it-n0ne excel it. We
are glad to record thespirit of improves
menJ manifested by this Company,
bene6fting as iE does alike the comm
nifty and the managers and owners of
this great property. fIW

not for the fact that there isn't a single

commissary stores, a sour sandwich

on huckleberries, culled by the side of
the railroad. John says he is sorry he

We have been treated with great kind
ness by the people who live along the
road. One stole my Pendleton badge
while asleep under q tree, after dining
rather heavily on slippery-elm bark,
and another set his dog on us. I am
writing this on a stump, while John has
gone 10 Gull some sweet flag for our fru-
gal supper. John has his jokes, &C
course. He said to-day: "TOm, let's
