Correspondence Of tie Middietopn Transcript.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Allow me to ask question
through your valuable paper. In passing along
the street a few days ago, overheard one of our
town commissioners remark that he was surprised
that certain parties were not informed on and
fined for obstructing our sidewalks with barrels,
boxes, &c. at night, in front of business places.
Why is it that crowd of unruly negroes are al
Bowed to blockade up our principal sidewalks
every Saturday evening SO that unprotected fe-
males or children have to go into the public road
to pass? Have not our commissioners the same
right to inform on them as any one else? They
made the ordinance land why should they not
enforce it. They cannot help but see it, for it
is done too close to their doors not TO notice it.

HORRIBLE SToRY.-A horrible story of
brigandage reaches us from Chill. Lag
oberon, notorious bandit captain, was so
closely pursued by body of South Amer
ican troops recently that he was compelled
to desert his band of brother cut -throats,
who had been the terror of the whole
country around, and take refuge in cav
ern situated near the summit of one of the
lofty mountains of the Sierra Profunda
In this cavern he had concealed female
captive, whose husband he had robbed
and slain. The soldiers made several in
effectual attempts to reach the abode of
the culprit Lagoberon, a man of gigan-
tic stature and herculean strength, sue
cecded in beating them off by rolling heavy
rocks down upon them whenever they ap-
preached The officer in command of the
troops resolved at first to starve the ban
dit out, but after two days blockade grew
weary of so tedious an expedient, improv-
ised an escalade of the chieftains strong
hold, and succeeded in capturing him. 10
their horror upon entering the cavern they
found the poor woman in a dying condi-
ton, Lagoberon having cut off one of the
DTCdSJS vi HIS cupltNC
ten it. The inhuman butcher was con-
veyed to Talca, where he was promptly
tried and condemned to die by the garrote.
He was speedily conducted to the scaffold,
and while the executioner was engaged in
adjusting his toilette de mort the convict
drew a whistle which he had concealed in
his pocket, and blew it sharply; where.
upon about sixty of his followers, who had
introduced themselves amongst the crowd
surrounding the scaffold rushed upon the
gendarmes and massacred them ere they
could offer any resistance. They then
freed their chief and garroted his would
be executioner, after which they escaped,
almost unscathed, to the mountains, facil
itating their fight by seizing the horses
of the murdered gendarmes. They also
carried off several women from the throng
gathered to witness the execution.

MAY AND JUNE.-May has has gone
out, after protracted exhibition of unsea-
sonably chilly and rainy weather. The
poetic mildness often attributed to May is
fallacy. Lowell long exposed the delu-
sion, in an excellent satire on May-day
and May weather in general and he
clinched the point, by contrast, in fine
tribute to dainty and delicious June
Lowell, indeed, is June's own poet; al
though this particular duty to her had
been already discharged by Hood, in his
Ode to May" which is full of punning
satire. However, our ancestry, though
they established the May-festivals and
open-air merry -makings, understood fully
the deceptiveness of the season, and ex-
pressed it in homely proverbs, "Till
May be out, ne'er change a clout," was
one of these-a caution it would have been
well for some of us to have followed the
last ten days. They held, however, that
chilly May was hcalthful, declaring CA
warm May, like green Christmas, fills
the churchyard." Perhaps this bit of
wisdom may console us in bidding good
bye to May which has given us taste,
while it lasted, both of July and November.
Thompson, as we all know, sang "Come,
gentle spring; ETHEREAL mildness come"
But we have never heard that any ethe-
rial mildness responded to the fattering
invitation. We cannot say, at any rate,
that the late season has been very gentle
with us--Phild, Public Record.

The Sedalia (Mo.) Bazo says:-We
learn from private letter that a citizen
of Hickory county, last week, met with
a singular piece of good fortune. While
at Kansas City, in September. 1860, he
purchased an old trunk, advertised as
unclaimed property by the United States
Express Company, which proved to con-
tain some valueless articles and dirty
clothing. On his arrival at home the
trunk was converted into receptacle for
wood, for which purpose it was used till a
week since, and, being partially demolish-
ed, it was converted into kindling wood.
Between the wood and zinc bottom was
found $3085. The trunk bore no marks
to indicate who the owner might have
been, and the most reasonable supposition
is that it was shipped to some fictitious
name, and contained stolen money, which,
either by the interference of arrest or from
fear of detection, remained uncalled for.

The audience assembled at Tammany
Hall, New York, were thrown into intense
excitement on Monday evening by terri
BILE accident which occurred there during
the performance. During the evening
Signor Pedanto, renowned gymnast,
made his first appearance at the hall, and
while performing some daring evolutions
on a trapeze elevated at great height
: above the stage, missed his hold and fell
to the stage, sustaining injuries which, it
is feared, will prove fatal. The audience
reused to pitch Of intense excitement by
the fearful accident, rose in their seats and
rushed towards the stage, on which the
unfortunate performer was lying insensi-

and order was soon restored by the police
on duty in the building. Pedanto was
picked up in an unconscious state to be
removed to one of the dressing rooms,
where he was attended by several physi-
clans.

1t is impossible for us, in this brief notice, to
speak of all the points of utility and excellence
embraced in these machines, and must content
ourselves with mere mention Of few of them,
and invite you to examine the machine. We
will furnish either the open or closed cylinder,
spiked with the very best OF iron. The cylinder
shaft is made of steel, and fitted with brass boxes
lined with the best Babbit metal. The gear
shafts made Of steel, and run in boxes lined
with Babbit metal. The gearing is made of the
best of charcoal iron, and fitted in the best posi-
BILE manner. The cylinder is perfectly adjusted,
by men of long experience. The cylinder cap is
so constructed that the cylinder will not throw
dust into the face of the feeder. The grain-car-
rier is ten inches wider than the cylinder, afford
ing ample room to obtain a perfect separation
The revolving knocker in the second carrier is of
great value in securing the grain, The double
fan will clean grain of all kinds in the most per-
feet manner, without waste. The revolving and
vibrating shoc-rakes are very useful in prevent-
ing the choking or filling up of the shoe and ele-
vator. The arrangement for raising and lower
ing the concave is very simple and easily opera
ted. The selt-oiling and noiseless shake-rods,
for the shoe and elevator spout, must be seen to
be appreciated The small shafts are made of
good iron, the Journals turned, polished, and
fitted in the boxes perfectly. The boxes are lined
with Babbit metal, and fitted with oil cups and
caps to keep out the dust. The pnleys are made
of cast-iron, covered with leather, TO prevent
slipping. The belts are of good oak-tanned eath-
er, well stretched, cemepted and riveted together

Double Pinion HORSEPOWER
WITH RUssELL's PATENT MOVABLE cENTE

WITH RUSsELL's PATENT MOVABLE CENTER.
Russell's Improved Double Pinion eight and
ten-horse Cary Power, with movable centre, has
long been in use, during which time it has with
stood the most severe tests, and for light draft
strength and durability, it has no equal. The
movable centre is of great value, for by its use
the master wheel is allowed to adjust itself to the
master pinions so as TO divide the labor equally
thus overcoming friction and removing to great
extent the liability to break by sudden jerks or
starts of the horses, The and horse power is
essentially the same as the eight and ten, except
in size.
The spring coupling fork is now attached to
the line shaft of the power, and is made with a
reversible dog, by taking off the coupling fork
and changing the dog, the horses may travel Ell
ther to the right or left.
