WOODEN CAR WHEELs.-The Hudson Rive p
Railroad Company is making trial of the Man
sell wooden car wheel. These wheels cost
more than the common cast-iron ones. bpt
very great advantages are claimed for them.-
They are made of seasoned elm or teak, with
steel tires, and are very durable. They will wear,
oy reason of their elasticity, over four hun
urea thousand miles of railway, while the
average use of the ordinary iron wheel is but
hitJ thousand miles, after which it is neeessa-
y'o break it up. They ride smoothly, max :
ing conversation, reading, and even wri,ipe.
not only possible, but an easy task on the cars,
The Mansell wheel is used on the Metro,ol;t,,,
Underground Railway in London. and there
where the stoppages and starting of the trains
are very sudden and consequently extremely
trying, no accident has yet occurred with
them.

EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT.--A
prominent clergyman Of Manchester,
n. H., in a discourse delivered before
his society last Sunday, stated that
the Protestant population Of that city
was about 10000 and the Catholic
about 1000, yet that for the past three
years the Catholics there--a large
portion of whom were day laborers-
had raised more money for religious
purposes than all the other denomina-
tons in that place combined. The
genteman-who is a Protestant
further averred that the Catholic
Church property in Manchester was
worth double that belonging to the
Protestants, and that, notwithstand-
ing the disparity in the population,
between the two there were about as
many Catholics in that city who at
tended church as Protestants. These
statements seem almost incredible,
but we have them from a person who
heard the clergyman alluded to make
them.

AN ENERGETIC SUPERINTENDENT.

AN ENERGETIC SUPERINTENDENT
The recent heavy freshets interfered
very seriously with the trains on the
railroads in New Hampshire and Yer
mont. Among many instances of en-
ergy exhibited in forwarding the mails
under great difficulty, a correspondent
writing from St. Johnsbury, says:
Il would like to mention that when
the mail train on the Passumpsic rail-
road was stopped at Barton, by the
high water, Mr.. A. Fl. Perry, the en-
ergetic superintendent, took the mail
bags on hand car and with a few
men proceeded on the track, which
was then covered with water, until
the depth of water rendered it impos-
sible to go farther; then shoulderine
mail bag himself, and directing the
men to do the same, he started by lana
and after a weary tramp DER hill and
dale passed the flooded district and
delivered the mails, where they coulC
be forwarded by train"

CROP PROSPECTS. - We believe
there was never before so large an
area of our country in Wheat at this
season as now, and that sowed last
Fall is looking rema1 kably well I'm
less some disastrous blight shall yet
be experienced, we shall harvest more
Wheat in 1869 than in any former
year. And on all this Atlantic slope
a very large breadth has already been
sown to Spring Grain, while much
land is now in course of preparation
for Indian Corn. Our orchards are
just bursting into bloom, and the
promise of Fruit-especially Of Peach
eS-is remarkably good.
Our meadows and pastures are be-
ginning to feel the need of a long,
warm, gentle rain. The last two or
three weeks have been very favorable
to Spring work, but Grass does not
start as it should for want of a soaking
rain. Clouds gather to little purpose
and disappear; and a few more hot,
bright days will shorten our Hay crop
disastrously. We want rain.

HENRY A. WIsE.-This gentleman has
written a characteristic letter to Metho-
dist minister in regard to the duty of patri-
OTIS North and South. He says:
''The view have taken is a heliocentric
one. 1t strives to reach Gods throne, and
to look thence out upon the ways and the
end. That he ordered and directed and
forced the result af emancipation of slaves
in America, knowing that there was no
other way to bring it about and at the same
time save all that is precious, | have not
the least doubt And | feel that he who
resists, or in any unreasonable way OBJ
structs, the legitimate consequences of this
special providence, kicks against t h e
pricks' This brings up the question =
What should be regarded as the legitimate
consequences? My answer is peace The
old strifes must cease and be hushed. Next,
charity, liberation, brotherly and patriotic
kindness"
