The conVeniences of modern travel
how are they multiplying Cars heat
ed by hot water, lighted with gas,
cushions of velvet, walls covered with
oil paintings, carpets Of the finest
Brussels, curtains of tapestry, beds OF
curled hair, ceilings in fresco, windows
of French plate glass, mirrors of the
finest quality seats OF carved WatnuGY
walls of splendidIy polished hard
woods, corniceS for the finest library,
hooks and handles and bars Of the I'm
est silver. Such are the appointments
of the new sleeping coaches built for
the Erie Railway, and which are now
running between Cincinnati and New
York They call them drawing Room
Palace Sleeping Coaches, and they are
worthy of the name. They have the
comfort of bed chamber, the beau
ties of a parlor, and the capacity of
drawing room. The seats are really
luxurious, covered with a species of
velvet called French mOquette, of the
most beautiful colors, and with medal
lion patterns in the center OF each seat,
The work is all black walnut, with pam
els of the same material made from
the most beautiful veneerR cut from
the knots of this wood. The work is
oiled and polished so that it is as fine
as the best furniture. Five fine globes
from above surrounded by rich ap-
pointments furnish light by night. In
the main room, after the beds are all
put away and hidden from VleWl tne
traveller looks upon the walls decorat-
ed with twenty oil paintings. In this
coach is parlor or family room, SIX
by nine feet, capable of accommodate
ing six persons. There is nothing ap-
parently that could be added to this to
make it more attractive and comfoPta-
bic. There is still another stateroom
in the rear that viii accommodate four
persons. A wash room at either end
furnishes every possible convenience
in this line. The bed clothing Is of the
best, and the amplest arrangements
have been made for clean linen,
The coach is warmed by Bakers pat
ent hot water furnace, which is so con-
structed that, in the event OF an.
accident, the Ere will not be commu-
nicated to the surrounding wood.
Fifty persons can be Accommodated in
each car.
The Erie and Atlantic Sleeping
Coach Company havo planted thirty
eight thousand dollars In this marvel
of the car kind. Whether 10 will bios
som into handsome returns would
seem to admit of no doubt, when Il Is
remembered that the charges on these
are the same that are made in the
common coaches,

PoST OFFIcE.-A few days since we
heard rather an unjust accusation against
the Postofice Department at this place.
The accuser on going into the Office
early in the morning found a Cleveland
letter in the box, and, having been atthe
Office after the North mail opened the
day before, became very indignant, and
of course censured the ever-accommo-
dating clerks. We would state for the
benefit of those concerned that the
night train brings a through mail from
Cleveland, which is distributed early the
next morning. As may be seen by the
time table, all letters for Cincinnati
should be in the Office by Io:45 A. N.
Mr.. Curren now sends all letters that
may come in after that time for Cincin-
natl by Springfield, arriving at Cincin-
matt by 10 o'clock P. NJ. Also through
mail is made up going to Cleveland by
the afternoon train. and a through mail
comes from Columbus at 4:55 P. NJ.
There remain in the office held for
postage the following letters: Forbush &
Brown, Buffalo. N. Y; NJ Davis. Della
ware, o.
The number of Money Orders issued
up to this date is 1929. about one-third
the number issued from the Columbus
office, which has been an Order Office
over year longer.

A PAIR OF TWINS BORN ON A
RAILWAY TRAIN

-
from the Columbus Statesman, Jan. ISL
The Pacific express train on the Pan
Handle Railroad left the Columbus-de-
pot on Friday evening last, at 8 O'Clock,
under the charge of Conductor Drury.
Nothing transpired to disturb the monot-
ony of the conductors call on the dFow-
sy passengers for 'tickets, gentlemen.
until the train was between Dennison
and SteubenviIle. Then he was notifi-
ed that a lady passenger desired his
presence. He found the lady evidently
in some trouble and embarrassment. To
his affirmative response to the query
whether, he was a married man, the lady
stated that she was on her way from
Cincinnati to meet her husband in New
York and that a crisis was impending,
involving the appearance of an addition
al passenger. This startled the conduc-
tor. of course; but with heart big as an
eleohant. he set to work to make the la
DIV comfortable. All the passengers were
hastily shuf1ed into another car, and
such female assistance as could be pro-
cured on the train was brought into req
uisition. In brief time, the little stran-
ger-a fine. bouncing girl is the phrase
ductor congratulated himself on his hap
.py escape from dilemma. With
heart overRowing with sympathy, he ar
ranged an impromptu wardrobe for the
very Young lady from his underclothing.
It was not exactly in the style Of those.
Infant outfits advertised in the New
York papers, yet it served a good Pur-
pose.
But this was not all. The train left
SteubenvilIe on time, and was soon
laundering through and around the hills
of West Virginia, when the conductor
received another shock. This. time it
was a "fne bouncing boy" Twins, by
love One a Buckeye and the other
Pan-Handler. The remainder of Dru-
rvs linen went to start the little fellow
on his Journey through the world. Then
for fear of what might happen, the train
was hurried up; in due time, it reached
Pittsburg, and the lady and the two un-
ticketed passengers were. tenderly con-
veyed to comfortable quarters at the
Union Depot Hotel, when a telegram
was forwarded to the husband in New
York, which viii. probably lift him out
of his boots. At last advices the mother
and children were doing well.

REMEMBER how many accidents were
recorded after the last snow-and why.

The Marysville Tribune after an i'm
partial review Of the whole field comes
to this conclusion:
The memory of some men IS gradual
" becoming extinct. We know of some
who really do not know when they owe
A debt. Of course if they knew It they
would be honest enough to pay it, but it
is beyond the recall Of their memory. how
can they pay? A man IS not bound to
do thing he cannot think Of. That IS
fair logic.
The T1I6AnS'S discovery IS not Pecu-
liar The same malady in more or
less aggravated form exists in our own
beloved community.

SMALL BUSINESS. last Friday
evening, the cellar door of N. J.. Gala

BELLE POINT, Jan. 23d, 1871.
EDS. GAZETTE: At an early hour on
Saturday evening last, the "Accommo-
dation Mills, of w. P Wentz, situated
on the Scioto river, about two miles
north of this place. was consumed by
FIRE 1t was all burned. Fortunately
there was not much grain or -four in
the mill at the time. Valued at $4,000;
insured for So, goo. The site is the best
on the river. It is a loss to his miller,
and also to this community generally.
The proprietor talks of rebuilding again.
Hope he may be enabled to do SO
speedily.
The revival of the United Brethren,
commenced on the night of the Ist inst,
one mile east of this, is still in progress.
They are meeting with much success.
The same denomination is conducting
a revival at the Eversole church few
miles southwest of this.
Many of our people are preparing for
sugar making, expecting a run soon.
Mrs. Benson, an aged lady of this
place, has been suffering some time
with gathering in one of her hands. 1t
is now feared that even amputating the
hand will not save her life.
Yours,

CHICAGO, Ill, January IS, 1871.
EDS. GAzErTE-Last Friday after
noon our storm began. A gentle rain;
so gentle you scarce could call it rain.
The weather so mild you almost forgot
that the month was January. The ther-
mometer went down to 81 degrees
Fahrenheit, and our rain became snow.
ssIhe wind blew as 'tWould blown its last.
That night a child might understand
The DFel had business on his hands,"
Saturday morning the storm had in
creased to d tempest of wind and snow,
and all day long the whistling of the
wind made music, and the driving snow
darkenedth the air till, at times, you thought
the twilight hour had come at midday.
Darkness came, but still the Storm
King ragged. Morning came-Sunday.
In the language of one of the early set
tiers of Radnor township, it was "The
snowingest blowingest day that ever I
seed in my life. All day long there
was no cessation, just snow, snow, snow.
The rain had covered the trees and
shrubs with ice. The wind had piled
the snow in high drifts without being
particular as to their location. At dark
the wind lulled, the snow ceased to fall
and our storm was over.
This morning the sun shone out bril-
liantly and the trees glistened with daz-
zling brightness, and at ten o'clock it
was thawing nicely, with the water drop
ping from the caves on the east side Of
the house.
l think the Lake is the most awe-in-
spring sight l ever saw. The rolling
waves, the dashing spray, the deafen-
ing roar, all combined, form picture
so truly sublime, SO inexpressibly awful,
that one shudders at the contemplation
Of it. No pen picture can do it justice.
You just stand and gaze lost in amaze
ment, wonder and awe; and when you
try to write it the pen stops, language
fails, the brain whirls and you feel as
though with pismire strength you tugged
at huge Olympus.
The damage done by the storm is con.
siderable, nor can it at present be told
The depth of snow varies from nothing
[some bare sPots) to eight feet.

The Ohio Legislature has just passed
a law providing for the appointment of
guardians over drunkards who are vast
ing their property and likely to become
a public charge. On complaint to the
Courts and the furnishing of proper evil
dence that the inebriate needs such con-
troll, a guardian will be set over the par
ty with powers equivalent to those of the
guardian of a minor, and will retain his
position until the reformation of his ward
shall render his watchfulness needless.
Similar enactments have long been in
force in some of the Eastern States.
