tie train north on the p. W. & B. r. r..
last evening, was one of the new cars
used for the carrying of cattle. they are
| called the palace cattle car, and are con-
structed with stalls so that the cattle have
plenty of room to lie down without
any danger of being tramped to death,
as is usually the case in the cars now in
general nse. The cars are also provided
with tronghs, from which they are water
ed by means of large tank in the. top of
the car, which holds enough water to last
, for hundreds of miles. By this arrange
