series of discourses on the Family Life yesterday

The attendance was very large the church being

liminary services the reverend gentleman read ana
made running commentary on the eleventh chapter
of ST. Luke, after which the vast assemblage
united In singing the eighty fourth psalm. Se-

A REVOLUTION IN STEAM ENGINES.

The Jersey City Times has descrip-
| ton of a machine now in operation in
that city, which is destined to work a
revolution 10 one department of mechan-
zeal industry-nameiy, a new steam en-
CINE, which. one-quarter of the weight,
and occupying one quarter of the space
required for an ordinary ten-horse en-
zine, will give the same power, with
twenty five per cent. less fuel This
little machine sets at defiance all pre-
conceived notions on the subject. It's
motive power is all contained within
the circumference of a broad, stout
wheel. about three feet ili diameter,
revolving upon a hollow shaft, which
receives the steam and delivers it alter
nately into two opposite reciprocal cyl
inders, each fixed between the center
and the periphery The power, there
fore, instead of icing at the center,
presents the singular anomaly of being
at the circumference. Or, in other
words, the true center Of power is
at tae periphery of the wheel.

resided at Conmunipaw until quite
recently, where he was well known as
the author and the pa,entee of severai

facture of the Ruset Engine, whose
value for all uses requiring hghtuess OF

statement thar it will give ien.horse

required in caloric engine of two
horse power, occupying one-fourth OF

And oue important feature is, that the

MORE SPEEDY COMMUNICATION

The peculiar tendency of the times i:
toward the perfection of facilities fol-
expeditions travel and the nearest pos
sible humiliation of space The COM
pleton of the Pacific Railroad and the
consequent more speedy communication
between the Atlantic and Pacific States,
has caused the more enterprisiDg men
of the country to consider the feasibili-
y of shortening the journey from the
| United States and Europe. The transit
| between New York and Liverpool is
now made, on the average, in ten days,
Sometimes in nine. II is now proposed
t. dispense with considerable portion
of the ocean voyage by building rail-
road through New England, Nova Sco-
la and New Foundland-over one thou
sand miles, from which point the ocean
voyage can be accomplished in four
days. The Chicago Tribune some time
since sketched the proposed route as
follows
The railroad across New Foundland
is to be joined by a steam ferry of As
miles with the north end of Cape Breton
Island, where it connects with a trunk
me which skirts the Bay of Fundy,
aud passes by way of St Johns, New
