An Interesting Relic-The First Loco
motive Used I'm America.


The first locomotive that was ever
used in America is to be seen lying
ontside of foundry in Luzerne Co..
Pennsylvania. 1t ought to be preserved
somewhere as an interesting relic of the
early days of railroading in America
The following description of its trial
trip, taken from DIR. HOLSTERS History
of the Lackawaxen Valley, will be read
with interest:
"The first locomotive engine intro
.duced and worked in America was run
upon the Delaware and Hudson Rail.
road in the year 1928, and Honesdale
(named from the late Philip Hone)
offered its friendly glen for the purpose
of conducting the experiment. This
locomotive, called the :. Stourbridge
Lion, was built in England, ofthe best
material and work manship, and most
approved pattern of that date. The
road passed cut of Honesdale by sharp
north-westerly curve, with moderate
grade, and was carried over the Lacka-
waxen by long hemlock trestlng.
considered too frail by many to support
the great weight of the mysterious
looking engine all ready for the hazard
Gus journey.
As the crowd gathered from far and
near, expecting that bridge, locomotive
and all, would plunge into the stream
the moment passage was attempted, no
one dared to run the locomotive across
the chasm but Major Horatio Allen.
who, amid exultation and praise, passed
over the bridge and portion of the
road in safety. The engine, however,
was abandoned, as the slender trestling
forming much of the body of the road,
sufficiently strong for ordinary ears,
was found too feeble for the weight and
wear Major Allen, in his account Of
this first trip of locomotive on this
continent says Y" As / placed my hand
on the throttle, was undecided
whether I would move slowly or with a
fair degree of speed; but believing that
the road would prove safe, and prefer
ring, if we did 90 down, to go down
handsomely and without any evidence
OF tmidity. started with considerable
velocity, passed the curve over the
creek safely, and was soon out Of hear
ing of the vast assemblage. At the end
OF two or three miles, reversed the
valve and returned without accident
having thus made the first railroad trip
by locomotive on the western hemis.

SALEM, Feb. %, 1871.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN.
Sir: During the past year, in Mari
on, Polk and Benton Counties, [ have
often been called to help bury the dead.
In no instance have found country
graveyard surveyed, or in any manner
allotted to those who one day must use
it.
There is grave error somewhere. In
most of them oak grubs are left to grow
as they may have sprung up, the tap
root often reaching to the depth of a
grave. Again, the road to the grounds
in some places winds through or among
oak grubs, depending limbs and fallen
trees. In such places it would seem
that not only the dead, but "the dead
and chaos reign there alone" AT Salt
Greek | have two dear ones buried !;
our lot lies next the road or alley (if
there is to be one). Someone, and |
could not learn who. has made recent
burial on the other side, as close as one
grave should be to another. Now, i'm
agine, if you can, your chagrin at such
an occurrence, for | must suppose it
was done in ignorance. At small ex
pense, the grounds could be grubbed
out, the lots marked By posts, the roads
and alleys laid off, fence built, gate
hung, a good hand barrow to stand at
the gate. and large lock box, with
shosels, lines, &c. always there. 4
portion of the graves in some grounds
are quite lost in the rubbish thrown on
them A large and dazzling tombstone
is costly aud worse than vanity. but an
unpretendipg marble marks the place
/ just as we'll, and it is far better suited
to those that rest in the silent city
| Will those who are infested (and who is
not appoint a day TO meet at the ceme>
teries in the different communities |
feel agrieved, and ask that something
be done. JoHN NIcKLIN.
