ATT EMPT TO WRELK A TRAIN.

An attempt was made on Saturday night
last to wreck the train on the Delaware
Railroad, due at Middletown at 7.45, be-
tween Armstrong and Middlctown. A cor
respondent oil the Commercial from Middle
town states that the train first struck a half
dozen old crosstcs. Samuel Barnes, the
engineer, reversed his engine, md put on
the air brakes in moment, and when the
train stopped, a bar of railroad iron was
discovered lying across the track just in
front of the engine, showing that the ma
licious parsons were determined to throw
The train from the track by one of these
two distractions. Nothing about the engine
was broken except the pump, and 1t was
continued on the trip. The Del. r. +. Co.

rest of the party or parties who perpetrated
this outrageous but fortunately unsuccess-
full attempt at wholesale murder. People
hereabouts express no surprise at the bold
ness of the villains, as we consider that the
punishments of the law are altogether un-
certain of indiction--in fact our experience
is that the guilty 60 free.

New Postal Car.


The Maine Central Railroad Company have
Just completed at their car shop in this city, a
railway postal car which is said to surpass any
thing Of the kind in New England, in elegance
and beauty II was constructed under the super
vision of Chas. Kennison, Master Car builder, and
the painting was done under the charge Of Mr.
w. s. Elwin, Master Car Painter. 1t is 81 feet
long and has the Miller Platform and the air
brake. The interior is finished in Maine ash, in
elaborate style. In one end Of the car is apart
mcnt for the Express Company. The rest is en-
tirely devoted to the postal service. There are
$50 pdgeon holes for the distribution of letters,
so holes for the papers, and rack for % paper
sacks. water closet, marble wash basin, and
clothes press occupy convenient places in the car.
The exterior is painted light buff, and is let
tered appropriately. The interior retains the
natural color of the ash, but is vanished through
out. Taken altogether it is safe TO say that it is
the best postal car that the company have ever
turned out, and good judges say nothing like it
has ever run into Boston. This magnificent car,
of which those who have had charge of its con-
struction may well be proud, takes its place on
the route between Bangor and Bosto n tomorrow
(Wednesday) morning.
