"Can cattle and horses be carried?
Yes; the stock cars are six and half
feet wide, twenty-eight feet long,
weigh eight thousand five hundred
pounds, and carry nine head of cat
tie. The animals stand lengthwise,
as they can steady themselves more
readily.
''The comparison with the broad
gauge is as follows:
''wide gauge cattle car, 80 feet long. feet wide

"Narrow gauge cattle car, 619 feet wide, 2S feet
long-empty weight, s,5OD pounds; number of
cattle 8; dead weight of car to one animal, 944
pounds-saving about 80 per cent"
On this subject Colonel Green
wood says: 'The increase of bust
ness could not outrun the capacity of
the three feet gauge, for a three feet
road can handle as many passengers
and as many tons of freight per day
per annum, as broad gauge. =
''The narrow gauge system does
not mean simply less width between
the rails. 1t means common sense
applied to the information gained,
after long years of experience and
close application to business by rail
way managers.

Miss SARAH e. SEwELL will deliver
Lecture in Music Hall, on Monday
evening next, Dec. 2Sth. Subject
''The Way to Success.
Miss Sewell is almost an entire
stranger to our community, though
well known elsewhere through her
faithful and successful labors as a mis-
sionary among the poor and unfortu-
nate, especially in prisons and in our
large cities. Though accustomed to
pnblic speaking in her missionary
work, she has never before appeared
in the lecture field, hut feeling assur-
ed that shess can asbmplish some
good in that direction, she is anx-
ious to try the experiment, and this
being her native county, she has Sc
lected Hillsboro as her starting point.
In order that our readers may
form some idea of Miss Sewells abili-
ty as a speaker, andhe success in the
missionary field, we append few ex-
tracts from the press of other places
which she has visited:
