THE HuAHD HALL.-This elegant
piece Of mechanism, the railroad engine
Inland Hall, belonging to the Bennington
s. Rutland Railroad, having been thor
oughly overhsuled and remodeled, made
her trial trip yesterday to Wallingford
and back. By the courtesy of Mr.. Blan-
chard, tho machinist, who has brought
this machine out in its present elegant
condition, and Mr.. Clapp, the engineer,
we had the privilege of being one of the
party who went to Wallingford on this
trial trip, and they have our thanks for
an invitation to an excursion from which
we derived SO much pleasure.
Mr.. Blanchard has added much to his
reputation as skillful mechanic, by the
perfect condition into which he has
brought the Hiland Hall. So far as we
could judge from our inspection OF this
machine and the manner in which it
went over the ground, it is one of the best
that will run into this town over any
road, and under the skillful management
of such veteran engineer as Mr.. Clapp,
we expect the Inland Hall will do the
best of work and always be on time.
The finish of this engine is magnificent,
the scroll painting with which she is
decorated, and the landscapes which orna-
ment the sides of the head light, show
that the same great care has been observ-
ed in the painting as in the finish of the
machinery. These embellishments, we
learned, were the work of Mr.. George
Ratledge, of this town. The machine is
propelled by about 81 feet drive wheels,
and weighs twenty-seven tons. On the
trip we stopped at Clarendon, and ar
rived at the station in Wallingford in
just eighteen minutes after leaving the
shop in Rutland. Mr.. Clapp says she can
20 much faster than that, and be perfect
ly safe, but he had to keep her SO much
under control that he could bring her to
full stop upon coming i'll sight of Sec
ton men, who might have the track disar-
ranged We were, however, sati SIZED
with that speed, and don't care to ride
any faster than the IIiland Hall took IL

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BENNINGTON
Eugene Cook, fireman in the employ OF
the Bennington and Rutland Railroad,
was instantly killed, Friday morning, in
the railroad yard at Bennington. He
was attempting to shackle two engines to-
gether when the coupling slipped upon one
of thin, eletting the other close up to it, and
catching the young man between them.
The machines were scarcely moving, and
the accident was seen by men near, who
cried out but one of the engines was
blowing off steam, and it was some time
before the alarm was noticed. The body
showed no marks or bruises, except one
hand was injured, and he seems to have
been squeezed to-death, and might have
been saved, possibly, if he had been re-
leased sooner.
Deceased was aged about % years, and
unmarried. Railroad men inform us that
the attempting to shackle two engines is
one of the most hazardous positions that
they are subjected to; always attended by
danger, and peculiarly so when the coup
ling il situated as it was in this case. The
connecting rod should have been on the
other machine, and then it would have
been less liable to slip.

All sorts OF Minds.

There is a strong disposition in men OF
opposite minds to despise each other. A
grave man cannot conceive what is the
use of wit in society; person who takes
a strong common''se view of the sub
ject, is for pushing out by the head and
shoulders an ingenious theologist, who
catches at the slightest and faintest anal
ogies; and another man who scents the
ridiculous from afar, will hold no COM
merce with him who tests exquisitely the
feelings of the heart, and is alive to
nothing else; whereas, talent is talent
and mind is mind in all its branches.
Wit gives to life one of its best favors,
common sense leads to immediate action,
and gives society its daily motion; large
and comprehensive views, its annual rota-
ton; ridicule chastises folly and impu-
dence, and keeps men in their proper
sphere subtlety seizes hold of the fine
threads of truth; analogy darts away in
the greatest discoveries; feeling paints
all the exquisite passions of mans soul,
and rewards him by thousand inward
visitations for the sorrows that come from
without. higher power conferred all
these diversities of mind. 1t is right and
Just, and from it a moral may be pointed
that we must despise no kind of talent ::
they have all their separate duties and
uses; all the happiness of man for their
object; and all sorts of minds in the
world improve, exalt and gladden. life.

Economy in Buying.

In buying articles, make distinction be-
tween what you need, and what you would like
to have, and before purchasing, be quite suro
that you have not something of the kind on
hand, that would answer your purpose ncayly
as,well. AS general rule, unless you have
plenty of money at your disposal, it is bost to
"foe want before you provide against it."
OF course there arc exceptions to this rule, rs
some articles of diet arc cheaper when bought
in quantities, and others improve with keep.
ing; however, in these times of huctuating
prices, it is usually safer to buy only mod
erato quantity at once. Never buy an article
you do not want, becausei it is cheap. once

animated bodies, and everything that has

lind it is tho result of force. We may destroy
its organization, but can never destroy tho
force that gave it that organization. The
world invisible is the most substantial of all.
We can continue to take up plants. The
seed always proclaims the tree and the fruit;
even tho leaves conform to the impress of the
original seed. No seed will transfer its fruit
to another kind; each bears fruit after it's
own. The pcar-tree does not grow from the
seed of tho apple, nor is tho gosling hatched
from tho crows egg.
The microscope discovers matter until it
dwindles almost to nothing; and we find util,
ity in everything. All this is not the result
Of chance, but shows beautiful Lawgivcr.
Force is tho only substantial thing found in
nature. It lies in its fossil state in tho coal.
When coal put in the furnace Of tho engine,
it generates steam, but it is only the forco of
tho sunshine which came from heaven many
years ago. The samo is tho case
