SAFETY on RAILRoAbs.-The Philadelphia
papers speak of an experimental trial at
Trenton, n. j., on Thursday, of an electric
apparatus for switches and draw-bridges
which has been introduced by the Camden
and Amboy Railroad Company as an add-
tionai surety for the safety of their trains,
and TO prevent careless or reckless neglect
by their employees to whom is entrusted the
responsible, even though humble, duty Of
managing the switches and turnouts. The
North american says an examination of the
means emplc ysd shows this new process to
be so simple that it surprises one that it has
not sooner been made use of. Electricity is
the controlling power which indicates the
condition Of the track, and this Is done by
connecting the switch with the signal
sufficiently distant to, enable the train
to be stopped in ample time, no matter
how great the running speed, by mag
netic current auto1hati cally regulating the
coior-tokens. That is to say, when
ever the switch is properly fixed, the current
is complete, and the white flag or light is
shown; but by the slightest displacement
either Of the switch, rail itself, the key bolt,
the breaking of the wire. or any other incom-
pleteness, the circuit is broken and the dam
9er-signal springs into place. 1t may happen
that the switch is all right, but some acct
dent interferes with the working of the
electrical apparatus. in which case red is
shown, ard Che train is. stopped-a delay of
so little moment that it is immaterial. In
short the invention; instead Of accounting
everything safe unfit Il is found to be other
wise, always registers danger until safety is
proved. There can be no doubt of its
efficiency so far as could be seen, and the
demonstration of its practical working was
witnessed by gentlemen in every way COM
petent to Judge of its utility, all of whom
expressed their satisfaction aid approval.

FATHER HYAcISTHE.-The New York Tri-
5ume Of Friday says
"To judge from the numerous pieces OF
pasteboard recording the names OF sundry
citizens (among them those of several we'll
known pulpit orators) strewn on the table
in Father Hyacinthe's room, the request OF
that gentleman to be left alone is UNDECIDED.
The carte, however, is all that is admitted,
the reverend father persistently refusing to
see any one except those with whom he is
personally acquainted, or who come with
recommendations to transact business. les
terday only two Of the numerous callers
were admitted, Father Hyacinthe being alb
sent from the hotel the greater part of the
day. He visited some of the public institu-
tons, and intends to take a view of every
thing of interest, if the public will courte.
ously let him. Except the ceremony OF
saying Mass, the monk adheres strictly to
the rules of priesthood in his Church, and
openly proclaims his intention to live and
die Catholic"

REVIVAL OF THE SOUTHERN TRADE.-At
no period since the war has the southern
trade with this port been so brisk as at the
present time, and all the regular steamers
employed in this business, besides many
sailing vessels, lind full employment in car
rying the products of northern and south

line of steamers has increased to such de-
gree as to require more tonnage for its
transportation, and an additional boat will
be placed on the route next week to re-
lieye the pressing wants of shippers for
greater accommodation. OF the extensive
variety Of goods going forward to supply
thewants of the southern people, a general

Of that section Of our country. With good

times, the South is destined to fully equal
