The Altoona, Pa, correspondent Of the
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser has the
following in his talk about locomotives
and locomotive building at the former
place: "About thirty-tive engines per
month are repaired in the shops. which
includes anything up to putting in Of new
fire.boxes, but the company very rarely
puts in new boilers. When an engine
gets into condition to need new boiler
it is generally brokenup. There is, how
ever, q story afoat in the shops that
the company never does actually build a
new engine, but they can repair any,
thing. There are SO many patented
rights about first-class engine, if, in
deed, the building Of q locomotive at all
is not an infringement Of somebody's
right, that the company would not dare
to do it. This embarrassment, however,
so the story goes, is overcome by the
superintendent Of motive power ordering
an old bell ora number plate o'be taken
from the storehouse and repaired by
putting all the other parts of the engine
under it. If the bell or the plate gets
out Of order or looks shabby after the en-
cine has been on the road few days
they then repair the engine by putting
new bell or plate on it"

An English Lord.

When Lord CORVALLIS was on his
march to Wilmington, after the battle Of
Guiliord Court House, passing by the
residence of planter near Cross Creek,
now Fayetteville, the British army
halted. The young mistress of the man.
sion, gay and very beautiful matron of
Is. with the impulsive curiosity of
child, ran to her front piazza to gaze at
the pageant. Some officers, dismount-
ing, approached the house. She address
ed one of the foremost, and begged that
he would point out to her Lord Corn
wallis, if he was there, for "she wished
to see lord" MADAM" said the gem
tleman, removing his hat, II am Lord
Corvallis" Then, with the formal
courtesy of the day, he led her into the
house, giving to the frightened family
every assurance of protection. With
the high breeding of gentleman and
the frankness of a soldier, he won all
hearts during his stay, from the venera-
BILE grandmother in her chair to the gay
girl who had first accosted him. While
the army remained, not an article was
disturbed on the plantation, though, as
he himself warned them, there were
stragglers in his wake whom he could
not detect, and who failed not to do what
mischief they could in the way of plum
dering after he had passed.

Ordeal of the Cross,

In ancient times, when person accus-
ed of any crime had declared his inno-
cence upon oath, and appealed to the
cross for its judgment in his favor, he
was brought into the church before the
altar. The priest previously prepared
two sticks exactly like each other, uton
one of which was carved the figure of
the cross. They were both wrapped up
with great care and many ceremonies, in
a quantity of fine wool and laid upon
the altar. A solemn prayer was then
offered up to God, that he would please
discover, by the judgment of his holy
cross, whether the accused person were
innocent OF guilty. The sticks were then
uncovered If it were marked with the
cross the accused person was innocent !;
if unmarked, he was guilty,

of the fortune might he lost, he had seen

money, and was free to return to Amer
