MISCELLANY

SOMETHING New IN LocoMOTrvEs.-The
new locomotive recently completed in Phila-
delphia under the direction of Mr.. Weston, of
Manchester, England, its inventor, passed
through Trenton one afternoon few days
since. 1t is claimed that it possesses greater
power and can lie run at less expense than
any of the locomotives now IN use in this
country inasmuch as the smoke and steam
are both utilized Also that it will draw
heavily loaded train, 100 cars, which, owing
to its superior arrangements, can be stopped
within its own length. Recently trial trip
of a locomotive of this pattern was made on
the Boston & Albany Railroad. which fully
came up to the expectations OF its inventor,
Commodore Vanderbilt and other distinguish
ed railroad magnates who were present.
rail was taken from the track in the presence
of a large number of persons, and after Mr..
Weston took charge Of the locomotive, the
word was given "clear the road, J" and after
start of mile, and while running at fun
spced, with twelve cars heavily loaded with
railroad Iron, stopped within one rail OF the
broken link.
The cab Of the new locomotive IL located on
~
ton of the boiler instead Of at the lear, as
with American locomotives and the smoke
stack is of the size Of a common stove pipe.
Considerable interest is manifested among
railroad men in relation to the new invention.

DIDN'T TAKE IT.--She entered drug
store to wait for her husband to drive around
with the team, and, catching sight OF some
tooth brushes, she asked the price.
"Twenty cents" replied the clerk.
What! !" she exclaimed.
"Twenty cents, and bargain they are"
She balanced one on her left hand, and,
gesticulating vigorously with the other, she
continued.
"You don't tell me that this e'er thing is
twenty cents, when can buy horse brush
with ten times as many hairs in it, for the
same price.

Mr.. Faulkner and the Martinsburg
Statesman.

Many persons, especially those living in the
remote parts Of our State, are disposed to hold
Mr. Faulkner responsible for the political SEN
timcnts aud opinions contained in the States
man. This has been one Of the tricks Of the
Wheeling htelligeRcer, whenever he cOsld
pervert any article in that paper to the pTcja-
dice Of that gentleman. The editor Of the
Salesman, 10 a late number Of his paper, has
himself alluded tothis uafouslej impression,
and declares that he has had no conversation
or correspondence for long time upon any
subject with Mr. Faulkner; that he knows him
to be a democrat, and beyond that has no
knowledge Of his preferences for any man to
be placed either upon a national or State ticket,
aud with his usual manlinesS announces that
he is alone responsible, and the sole suggestor
and author Of his own articles, and that Mr.
Faulkner is in 10 sense responsible for any
thing that he writes or publishes We think
a disclaimer, so frank, explicit AMI free from
equivocation Oush. to dispose of this subject

For this purpose it has two boards, the Home
Missionary Board located at Marion, Alabama,
and the Foreign Mission Board located at
Richmond
The Home Mission Board aids feeble church
es In the support Of their pastors, and sustains
missionaries in places destitute of preaching.
For many years it has supported DR.. Bnckner
as missionary to the Creek nation Of Indians.
There was time when to attend one of bis
prayer mcetinlS or preaching appointments
was deemed criminal offence, aud men, and
women were often whipped fcr SO dning but
to-day he has twenty-eiGht hundred followers,
with thirty-two churches and forty preachers
aud eXhortels.
The Foreign Missions Board has missiona-
rieS in China, Africa and Italy.
During the past year ISL, l9G Sc were paid

The session was one of the most harmonious
and successful that the body ever held. Its
next meeting will be in New Orleans.
