Day a contribution was taken up to pur-
chase a suitable head stone to mark the
grave of one of our late soldiers, L. Nc
Donald of Go. c., 18th Regiment, after
wards Of Co, Il. 9th Reg. A committee

made a liberal donation to the object.
For some time past one Of the paten-
tees of the Doty and MiItimore compound
axle and loose wheel for railroad cars,
has, been here experimenting the build
ing of set Of trucks and wheels with
their patent. On Saturday last party
from this place took a ride to Rutland
aud back in the car, Mr.. White, the Su.
perintendent of the Harlem Extension,
having made arrangements to have il
drawn up and back on regular trains,
and going along himself personally aided
in making the trip "A pleasant one The
car ran as smoothly as coach aud no
pereptable difference could be discov-
cred on straight track or curves, owing
to the peculiar construction Of the wheels
and aXles. The car was examined by
railroad officials while in Rutland all of
whom expressed themselves pleased with
the plan aud principles embodied in the
patent. This must in time bring about
an entire revolutionin style of car wheels
aud axles, as no road can afford TO do
without them, If the claims made by
them are sustained, which trial on the
different roads will soon demonstrate.
These wheels and aXles have been on
trial Oh one Of the Chicago roads for sew
oral months aud the on cial. speak in
high terms OF them
