THE HOOsAC TUNNEL.
How the Ends VIII Be Made TO Meet

Before the work from the Hoosac Tunnel
shaft towards the ends can be undertaken
certain mathematical calculations must be
made, which involve the successful discharge
of the most delicate and responsible professional
duties which any engineer was ever called upon
to perform--it being necessary to lay down q
line less than twenty feet in length at the
bottom OF dripping, dark shaft 1030 feet deep,
so that both ends of the line, being projected,
shall coincide with the terminal points of
the tunnel, each being distant over II 900 feet
from the centre of the shaft. To increase
the initial difficulty, the top of the shaft Is
on the summit OF rugged mountain
from 1900 to 1900 feet above the grade of
the tunnel at its termini IL is therefore, no
slight responsibility that is incurred by the
engineer who assumes the charge of this deli
cate operation. To facilitate the correct per-
formance of this duty a colossal transit instru-
meHt has been constructed at the cost of the
State of Massachusetts,, which is the most per-
feet ever made. The most accurately verified
lines have been laid down over the mountain,
extending long distances beyond, in both direc-
tions, to the tops of of~peighboring mountains.
By the accuracy of this instrument and its
manipulation the line of twenty-seven-th
transverse diameter of the shaft-will be per-
manently Defined requiring wonderful exact
ness, and from its extremities the "plum-
met" alone can reach the bottom
of the shaft These plummets must,
of necessity, be heavy and beauti-
fully poised and will require TO be suspended in
oil to produce perfect rest and protection from
the faintest vibration of the air. The most deli
cate cords, consistent with strength, must be
used to suspend them; and after all is done that
science can suggest-being absolutely correct as
to the theory-it is easy TO see how delicate and
difficult will be the practical part of the opera
tion, and what grave consequences would fol-
low the slightest error OF alignment on so small
base. 1t is quite possible that such an error
will be inevitable as the motion of the earth
may affect the plummet to an extent sufficient
to disturb the calculations; but this fact has not
been demonstrated, and scientific authorities
differ on the subject

CATTLE KILLED ON TIE RAILROAD
Two very valuable Durham cattle, belonging
to Col. Robt W. Baylor, of this county, were
thrown from the track and killed by the morn
ing mail train on the Winchester branch of
the B. & o. Railroad, on Wednesday last
The Col. has addressed a communication to
President Garrett, setting forth that the cat
tie were wantonly and maiciously killed.
the proper signal not having been given in
time, and the train running in full sight of
his crossing for full mile,-aud asking pay
ment for his loss. These facts the Col. offers
to substantiate by number of the most re-
liable witnesses. The slaughter of cattle in
this county within the past year or two, by the
railroad trains, has been considerable, and it
is highly important to the interests of our cit
liens living on the line of this thoroughfare,
that some measures should be instituted for
their protection. We trust that President
Garrett will give bis attention to this matter,
ard afford our people remedy for the evil.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT On Thursday last
the mail train bound West, on the .. & o. R.
R., when about mile below Duffelds Depot,
struck and seriously, if not fatally, injured
Mr.. Martin OFT, of Harpcr's Ferry who was
on the track at the time. It seems that Mr..
OFT was working on a gilbert at that point,
and when the train was very near him, he was
on the bank few feet from the road, and was
seen to come down to the track when the en-
CINE struck him before the train could be
stopped. He states that he did not hear the
cars coming. The train was Immediately
stopped and Mr.. OFT taken on board and
brought to Duffields Depot, where he was car
ried to the house of Mr.. George HageIy, and
his wounds dressed by DIR. W. F. Alexander
An ugly cash was found in his forhead, and it
was'feared that he had suffered internal in
jures.
P. S.-Mr. OFT fingered in intense agony
until II o'clock Thursday night, when death
put an end to his suferings. His remains
were taken to his home in Bolivar, for inter-
ment, on Friday. He was highly respected,
industrious citizen, both Free Mason and an
Odd Fellow, and leaves sick wife, with six
children, to mourn his fate He was aged
about 81 years
