Machine for Making Horse Shoes.

Among the many wonderful specimens Of
mechanical ingenuity and skill which were
shown the members OF the Car. Builders
Association at the Tredegar Works on yes.
terday afternoon, none attracted or deserved
more attention than Il model Of machine
for making horse shoes. This machine is
the invention of Mr.. John H. Snyder, an
employee of the company, by whom it has
been patented. The Tredegar Company
have bought an interest in it. and will at
once set about the construction of one
which they expect to have IN operation
some time this fall. The machine will turn
out about 125 shoes per minute, bent and
punched and ready for the horses hoof.
This is about double the quantity that any
other horseshoe machine now in operation
can make. and when once started will make
shoes enough to supply the horses of the
entire country, and have some lett for
outsiders. The machine will be set near
the furnace, and the hot iron passed lmme,
dialely into it, thus saving great deal OF
time, labor, and expense i'll reheatlng.

The New York Tribune charges the New
HAMPSHIRE Democrats with the purpose OF
increasing their maj ority in the Legislature
by un>eating several Republicans, ana leaV-
ing their seats vacant, and it pronounces
this "trick" as one not having " euen the
merit of nouelty!' The Tribune is en-
tlrclv correct. The Republicans in Con-
eress have made it very common, as the
Tribune well knows. Ii is not surprising
that it is contemplate for its want OF nov
city to Republicans, and more than dis
gushing to them when resorted to by Dem

THE STORM WEDNESDAY NIGHT.-One of
the heaviest rain and thunder.storms we
have ever experienced passed over our city
on Wednesday night. 1t was of short dura-
ton, lasting about half an hour, but in that
time the rain fell in perfect torrents, and
flash after flash of vivid lightning, followed
in quick succession by loud and startling
peals of thunder, rendered the scene almost
terrific. The water rushed down the streets
in perfect rivers, carrying with it large
stones, the noise of which added TO the ter
ror of the storm. For time the light of
the street.Iamps was obscured by the heavy
rain. and it was far past midnight when the
noise of the water had died away. Thus
far we have heard of no material damage
done by the storm. In the western portion
of the city, however, available cow, owned
by MIR. a. j. Blackburn, was killed by the
lightning.

If our contemporary Of the Petersburg
nQ.r will recollect that the agitation OF the
question of the abolition of slavery began
in 30 in the Convention to amend the Con-
stitutlon, and being by that body passed
over, as it were, to the Legislature, was
continued in that body to the session OF
'3l'-2, it may easily understand how the
crusade of the abolitionists, under the
Tappans and Garrisous, began in time to
take that effect which was finished oil by
the Southampton Instruction.

On THE TRAIL OF THE TOBACCO THIEF
Mention was made in the Dispatch yeSter-
day of the chase of a tobacco thief by Po-
liccman Goodman. Yesterday morning
this officer carried the tobacco, shawl, and
hat to Mayo's warehouse, where all were
identified. The tobacco had been handled
during the day, and was readily recognized
The hat was worn, it is said, by a man who
was working Mt the warehouse, and who
ND to Yesterday morning had not returned
Steps have been taken for the arrest of the
supposed thief, and there is but little doubt
that he will be brought to justice.

PLATFORMS AND COUPLINGS

was pTeseuteu
Mr.. Baker, of the New Jersey Transpor-
the Committee on Platforms and Couplings,
recommending the adoption by the differ
ent roads of some standard for the height
from the track to the top Of the platforms
and the centres of the bumpers OF cou-
plings. This would do away with a great
deal of the danger of one car riding" the
platform Of another. The nearer the plat
form is to the line of the car the stronger
it would be, and the better able to resist
the strain or shock of sudden stoppage.
They recommend that the couplings be
