The New York Times protests against
the general disposition on the part of the
public to regard broken rails on railroads
unavoidable. In point of fact, it says, they
are as strictly the result of bad manage

to the cheap and bad iron used in building
railway tracks, and secondly, to the want
of thorough daily inspection of the road.
Rails made of tough iron, and headed with
steel, rarely break, and, as a rule, never
would break were they replaced after bay-

PHOTOGRAPHERS IN SEARCH OF Frost
VIEws.--The Argus and Patriot of Mont
pelier, gives an interesting account of the
peris and sufierings of photographer and
two assistants who braved the perils and
terrors of Mounts Mansfield and Camels
Hump in February for the purpose of OBJ
tanning views of tho frost tracery. They
made their way to Camel's Hump, drag
ging their chemicals, apparatus and food
on handsled. Their supply of food gave
out shortly after arriving at their destina-
tion, aud for thirty-six hours they ate moth
ing. But they were brave and determined,
and carried away some fine views of Jack
Frosts beautiful work. They afterward
ascended Mount Mansfield. At the Ravine
House they found the snow fifteen feet
deep, and were an hour and half in trav-
cling half mile. The wind was so terri
fic that one of the party was carried a dis
tance of fifteen rods by a sudden gust. At
the summit they again had to battle with
old Boreas, but finally made the descent
after succeeding in taking some good views.
Two of the party froze their ears, feet and
hands.
