Kuj-boap fif.coai)—We are io regular receipt of t4ie RniXtnid Record. It is tin elaborate and thoroughly scientific journal of ail matters concerning railroads, including uew invention*, improvements, experiments, kc^— In fact, ju»t what a man, having any interest in that line of business, would like lo have by him. It is in a con yen ient form fur binding, and i» issued weekly at Cincinnati, by J, Woigbtou. f.'l.OO in advance. Chief editor, J£. D. iiansftt-ld which explains its excellence.

HT We of hi rVe two'fine passenger cars, near the lock*, from the manufactory of Wasoft, of HpHiig'fteld, MIHS. TWO more are at the depot. I)tic will be put on the track to Paris in a few iyt$.

EfKKrf.s Of llfM.—the Cincinnati papers publish the particulars of the examination of Henry 0'Neil, charged with an attempt to murder his wife. O'Neil was at one time one of the most prominent arid influential citizens of Cincinnati, but by a too free indulgence in intoxicating drinks lie thoroughly brutalized himself, and finally committed nti act which will send him to finish his miserable existence within tbe walls of a penitentiary.

SERVED TIIKM KIOHT. John Koiienheim and Geo. Thurston, arrested in New York on a charge of defrauding immigrant* by Belling them false passenger tickets for the Went, have been convicted in the Court of General Sessions, and sentenced to the penitentiary each for one year.

The above we clip from an exchange. It says, "served thorn right." We say, served them not right. A set of fellows who will make a business of defrauding strangers under such agravatod circumstances,ought to be made to serve the State a little longer than one year. We can scarcely conceive of a thing, not involving blood, meaner, more despicable or pitiful or oufrwhich brings a sadder shade of feeling over the heart, than tho act with which these fellows are charged. Hospitality to strangers, no matter who they may be, nor whence they are, finds a ready place in every unpervcrtcd heart, llavo yon over been a stranger in a strange place and perhaps in difficulty Then, if you have experienced any, the slightest kindness, as an act of common humanity, you need not be told how sweet is that tribute to the first impulse of nature.—

But to bo ruhlmt, under such circumstances, sends a thill through the system, as if a deadly viper's fangs had grappled the heart.

Kven the easily bestowed civilities of polite life, such as we often meet, when enquiring the way in a strange city, are most grateful to refined foeliug, and wo know of one or two largo cities, in this country, upon which have boon bestowed IrtvUh praiso, merely from the fact of strangers meeting this kiud attention in the streets. We have expo ricnced it, and know tho glow of good will which always remains to a whole city, merely from such an apparently slight circumstance this. It is not from the grealntpt of the deed, but. from its kind, that its power arises It bone of the dictates of the best side of our nature, to be kind to strangers aud one who can bring his heart to rob aud abuse stranger. and leave him out off from all resource and from all friends by the broad ocean rolling between him and his home, deserves not only the scorn of honest men, but lie ought to wrvo tho Stole more than one year. Seated them right? No, not half right. 1

^Okax-matical Pirrtct!tTY.—Standard gran) mars tell ns that it is incorrect to say, "By John Smith going there, the matter was pro vented." They put Smith in the possessive or genitive case, and say,. "By Johu Sutith gtdng there, the matter was prevented.t,r

JNow lot us vary the soutsnco, retaining the lino principle. '"By John Smith aud all his party, with several other persons from abroad, who had not been expected, going there, the matter was prevented." Shall the sentence be written ma Above as fa asoally donat or shall we say "Smith and party?*," according to grammar? In long audinvolved sentence* this rule is aot usually obeyed, and it fs awkvan! to uhwrw it, though the principle i»ww rect. We would thank seme linguist to en lighten us as to what is the proper pr*ced*rc ,_where. ..41

ting up an odiom against die free banks, just at this time, which, may be, it is not necessary to specify bete: ••Xivtf and let live," is a good old maxim of honorable men, which aome of the fast ones in financial affairs now going on, would do well to heed. The law establishing the free banks1 ts made in good faith by the representatives of the peoplfe for thesr security against loss and while the banks hare fair play, it is difficult to see how they can break property Jjeing placed, by thorn, in the hands of the proper government officer, to secure the payment of their notes, if they shonld fail to redeem them.— The strongest class of merchants are scarcely beyond the possibility of embarrassment if set upon by a combined conspiracy of their fellow citizens generally.

It is not impossible that a bank, for like reasons, being set upon unreasonably, when doing a safe and legitimate business, may be injured and even embarrassed, for a time, by an interested descent of designing brokers and neighboring bankers.

We arc convinced that the free banks of Indiana have not deserved the treatment which they have received from Cincinnati. The banks in Terre-Haute, we know, promptly redeem all demartds at tho counter and what more can be asked especially as they, in common with the others, have been unreasonably and meanly run upon, for the very parpose bl cheating an erftbarrass'thent

The course pursued, in this garde froifi abroad, will not W like!y to result in permanent good nor in much hofcorto the nlovers.— It cannot conduce to the Well-being of a city, to merit atul receive the contempt and execrations of all the towns and cities which stirround them and this is, to a wide extent, the case with Cincinnati, "for hor course towards tho free banks.

We hope, sincerely, that for the good of the community, and for the honor of those who are accountable for tlus derangement and strife in monetary affairs, the disgraceful and dishonest game will be brought to a speedy close.

W! copied a paragraph lately stating that the Mossr* Washburn, in the next Congress, would mako tho firsfcinstanco of three brothers being in Congress at tho same time. A friend reminds us of a former case of three brothers being in Congress together, namely, in 1826-"27, cfec. They were William and John Find lay, Senator and Representative from Pennsylvania, aud James Kmdlay, Iteprcscn tativc^froin Ohio.—National tnlel.

This remlnds us to mention the instance of two brothers'being at this time Governors of the sister States of Pennsylvania and California. At one iime.two brothers, Lincoln, wero Governors of Massachusetts and Maine. At this time, the two brothers, Potter, are bishops of New York and Pennsylvania, successors to the two brothers Onderdonk.

The Los Angelos [sic] papers of the 21st. and the San Diego Herald of the l6th ult., states that when crossing the Colorado, a company of em- [sic] from Texas, were murdered on the 31st of August by the Indians; several women and children were in the train, all of whom were taken by the Indians. Six hundred head of cattle were carried off. This news was brought by a party who were on horses a little in the rear, when the party were massacred.

From Oregon the advices give accounts of a terrible massacre of overland emigrants, by the Ninneras Indians, on Boise river, near Fort Boise. The following names of the killed we find in the papers:

Alexander Ward, wife and 7 children, Sam uel Mulligar [sic] and wife, and Mr. Babcock, of Lexington, Missouri; Dr. Adams a brother from Michigan; Mr. Amon and Mrs. White and child from Missouri.

but the waters are not without stars to guide, and the way is not too long for all. A few weeks ago we were the witness of a parting which touched us nearly. It was between two who were newly wedded, and -who, since the sweet day of their nuptials, had not been jwrted for a day, hardly for an hour. Nothing short of sheer necessity could have culled the husband from his idol now—but the necessity came between them, and be must not shrink. We saw the long and wild embrace, heard the goer whisper—"Be of good cheer I nil! be home soon and inn few moments more the billows rolled between the hearts tliat, so lately, God had joined together. ^*4 "I will be home soon." The&S wore the words, the only consolation left, amid so much bitterness. Perhaps the pangs of parting were sharpened by the vague presentiment that they might never meet again!

Splendor in every form, temptation most subtle and powerful, combined to lure the soul and body to destruction—splendid curtains, carpets, exquisitely painted pictures whose subjects were so impure, that I involuntarily placed my hands over my eyes wines, liquors of all kinds free, and tight to be had for the asking, all combined to'1

lure the poor mortal to sin and death.— Yet all was so voluptuously respectable, so perfect in good taste, so refined in appearance, so beautiful to the eye, that itsj influence stole into the soul like the deadly poisjn of the Upas tree. What wonder, if with awakened passions, and brain made insane by liquor, allured by lovely young women, who preside at the table and overlook the game, with gold around and on every side of him, the poor victim rushed to the gaming table for a new excitement and a new phase of stimulation!"

This is a most surprising instance of a sudden call to go. The boy was the picture of health. He was in company with several other children near the door, at about 10 o'clock, when, he called to his little sister to lead him into the house, for he was sick. She took his hand, and saw, at once, that he was severely smitten, when she screamed for help. At this, the father rau and caught him in his arms only to see him expire. No satisfactory explanation is given for this most sudden and afflicting d^ath of a perfectly healthy boy. Children may die, aud may die suddenly in the midst of health.

Grain Separator and Winnower.

Tkt World is Challenged to produce iti Equal!

THIS

machine recommends itself upon the first trial as being perfectly adapted to the cleaning bf wheat aud all other kinds of grain and grass seeds. As a winnowing machine it is equal to any other and, as a separator, it* equal cannot be found. It ls the only machine combining the double operation of chaffing and separating, and will be found fen indispensable article to the miller and farmer. To the farmer, because it is desirable that not only the grain from which his bread is made is rendered pure from all foreign substances and foul seeds, but that his s«ed grain and grdss seed should also be freed iVom like substances. A good article of grain always "commands a better price in market than that which is impure. Th:« machine separates the grain or seed according to its specific gravity—and is unerring in this respect—the heaviest grain or seed is tho purest of its kind and by passing the same through this machine, the cheat, shrunken, grown or smut grain or seed.is removed, and the perfectly pure of its kind is wtained.

It will be found indispensable to the miller, because, in order to make the best quality of flour, he must have his grain pure and clean, which can be done to admiration by the use of this machine: he may dispense with his screen entirely, for the macnino screens the grain perfectly/casting out all stones and nails, and is self icgulatiug.

The farmers machine works by hand the miller's by machinery, driven by less than half ahorse power. It is urnble, not easily got out of repair, occupies but little space, is very portable, and may be made of any desired capacity, to clear from 50 to 600 bushels wheat or other grain per hour.

They are admirably adapted for cleaning grain, corn, Ac., in large elevators, where it is necessary to clean from ouc to five hundred bu«hels per hour.

The machine soon pays for itself, both for farmer and miller, in separating all impurities, such as oats, chess, spelt, grown wheat, smut balls, aud a thousand other impurities to be found in wheat,which is now ground and mixed with our bread, and sowed with the farmer's seed wheat. It ?s equally adapted to all kinds of grain, chaffing, Ac., Ac.

For milling purposes it is very desirable, and especially those about to build, Would do well to become acquainted with it, as it doea away with tho rolling screen which is very wasteful, and does not clean the grain. The main feature *'u tho invention, besides its Simplicity, is the separating all Klads titgr'&iff, with the impui ities iu parcels, according to the specific gravity of each. It has long ocen a nuestion with die farmer, whether chess grows from wheat, or wheat from chess it can now be ascertained, and the inventor will give fivo dollars for every kernel of chess that can be procured from wheat when cleaned by thia machine, or will
