IMPORTANT AHBKSTB—LOTTERY AGENTS
Oaf rnJWDViTH all tosir Paiapubbualia,—Porsome!
Iltae past several of onr efficient detective police officer*
hare been oa the qui vine for the agents of the Jlary
laod-lottery, who nave been carrying on a very exteo-,
sire business la this city for some time past,' and have
‘obtained large sums of money from many persons who
were iliy able to Jose what has been wasted Jn this;
manner;' Perhaps there is no' business carrledten in
our city that has - been * the meaaa of reducing so many
of eur cltißoas to a point almost' verging on starvation, ■■
as this nefarious imposition. The poorer classes are
the Odes who suffer most, who, after once commencing,
are irresistibly led on by the hops of growing suddenly
rich - ,
Testerday afternoon one of the officers tracked one of
the notorious gang (there being three In number) to
their headquarters at the eorner of Beeond and Walnut
streets. When the officers reached the establishment,
and entered with one of the exchange clerks, a scene
followed which beggars description. Cries of murder
were raised by the alarmed and highly-terrified, And
doubtless guilty men, but'the officers nolens voletts
hastily secured-them. They found on tho promisee
about thirty thousand dollars worth of lottery tickets,
books, BChomee, and all the modus operomli for car*
rjing on an extensive, and, to them, highly profitable
business. They wore the agents for the Palapsco,
Belle Air, and Roauoko lottery companies, The man*
ner in which they telegraphed their numbers from one
point to another displayed an ingenuity and tact worthy
of abetter cause./
Instead of using figures they used the nam°s of arti
cles, animals, Sco. For instanoe, if the numbors were
1,45, 60~they wanted to telegraph, they would send
words like hat, dog, shoe, which Would represent the
above numbers. For tho purpose of avoiding detection,
it was necessary to change the names or figures every
4ay. ro M to elude the vigilance of the telegraph ope
rators. The parties were tften before Aldermao Free
men, auiieverally held to bail for a further hearing,
as their counsel, Mr. Brewster, was engaged In .the
Alliboneand Newhall ease. - * -
Great credit is due to detective'* police officers
Schlemm, Mlrkil, Smith, and Wood/ who, by th*ir Un
tiring efforts, and unceasing vigilacoo; have succeeded in
“bearding the' lion In-hfs den ” The above named
officers also secured a lot of the small fry engaged in
the same'business In consequence of. this descent
having been made, many a dark office, with glazed
window and green curtaiu, was closed before the usual
hour, and the occupants and frequenters -thereof could
be sees standing around the corners Poking wise atone
another, and as If'they were suspected of having dab
bled In the lottery tickets. Even the colored popula
tion, who have been running, their fancy numbers,
seemed to feel the' shook; aod regretted tho unsuccess
ful denoaoment oftheirloogcherished plans.- r '
FXRB,—BQtw.een thr eeand four o’clock yea
ferday morning/' Officers Dishing and' Naulty, ,of the
Ninth district, discovered,a Ore at a house in Qebhard’s
0 art, Carlton street, between; Sixteenth and Seven
tear tb. The house was occupied by Patrick Cahill and
family. Patrick was' charged by-hls .wife with having
fired the buildiog, and was taken to the Central Station
house, where the. matter was under investigation yes
terday by lire detective Blackburn. Several Are ■ com
panies came upon the’ground; but the flames wore ex
tinguished before they, arrived.. ' . ; -

children. \ . > ■*
Patrick Devetroy, a child six weeks of age, son of
John Bevenny, residing in Eighth street, below Fitz
water, was overlaid on Tuesday night,'by its mother.
From the evidence elicited, it appears that the mother
was almost constantly Intoxicated. Every effort has
been used by her husband to reform her, but without
avail;- It is to be hoped this will prove a solemn warn
fog to and be the means of effecting her reforma
tion. The coroner held an inquest yesterdiy, and ren
dered a verdict of death from gross neglect and careless
ness on the part of the mother.

Boston, July 19, 1857.
10- Mxbsrs. J. Burnett Sc Co.—l cannot refuse to
state the salutary effeot in my own aggravated case of
your excellent Hair Oil— (Cocoaine )
For many months my hair had been falling off, until
I was fearful of losing it entirely. The skin upon my
head became gradually more and more inflamed, so that
I could not touch it without pain. This irritated con
d'tlon I attributed to the use of various advertised hair
washes, whioh I have since boen told contain camphone
spirit.
By the advice of my physician, »o whom you had
shown your proceaß of purifying tho Oil, I commonoed
its use the last week in June. The first application al
layed the Itching and irritation ; in three or four days
tho redoesssnd tenderness disappeared—the hair ceased
to foil, and 1 hare now a thick growth of now hair.
Yours, very truly,
SUBAN R. POPE.

Railroad Companies and Haitian Life.—
LkJj The legal duty of all Railroad Companies to adopt
at once, promptly and generally, precautionary linprore
ments of tried and undoubted value, calculated to
save life and mitigate danger, needs no argument to
convince a thinking man. But, unfortunately for tbe
people and the stockholders, there are quite too mmy
of those Id authority who do not sufficiently realise
their responsibility in this matter. Their thoughts aro
occupied about too many other things ; their duties as
Superintendents aro clearly not their sole thought aod
study. Large fortune* are accumulated In a few years
from small salaries, and tho verdant masßes of tho com
munity look up to our railway officials as if they were
the Great Blogul. Bat lot ub ask how many of them
perform thei-duties with a single oyo to the interests
of the Stockholders, and the safety of Ihoir employees
And the proelons lives that Are daily committed to their
keeping Suppose, for Instance, as was suggested a
few years since, that a seat be provided In front of each
locomotive, and one of the directors required to rldo
in front of osch passenger train, bow loDg would It be
before the aforesaid officers would make the inquiry of
their mechanics: Aro our trains arranged to stop as
soon as they possibly can be ? We also have a profound
conviction that they would, have an earnest desire,
also, to hold the reins themselves when in that posi
tion. This tony l>o a strong case, but it is directly to
the point. It is abs'olutb folly and the trbikst stu
pidity to run a railroad train a moment without giving
tho foremost man upon it, of bis ownvolitirn. the power
to arrest it instantly, if required The time, we trust,
2s not far off when men high in authority, in receipt of
priocoly salaries, can condcscrndto give those minor
(to them—primary to the traveller and stockholder—)
subjects a little of their Attention It is an unfortu
nate fact for tbe interests of railroad corporations, that
Comparatively few Bmart, able men work for salaries.
Tho men of thought, and men of action, are their own
employers; they have the forethought and judgment to
adopt and get the benefit of improvements before they
are driven Into thorn by public sentiment or legisla
tion. We wish it were fullyunderstood by railroad of
ficers that the success of all groat entorprieos is de
pendent upon attention to little things.
An officer may neglect improvements calculated to
produce economy or improve work, or anything of that
character; bat to neglect any precaution fur the safety
of human life, or the control of tho fearful momeutnm
Inheront In ©very moving trtin, is a fearful reeponsl
ty for any man to assumo, and wo undertake to say that
no man possessing the qualifications for a Railroad Su
perintendent will neglect to give attention to sue’* de
vices for one moment. It la, or rather ought to be tho
most important thought of aSuperlntendent’s business,
to anticipate and provide the antidote for every danger
to which bis train is liable. A man of sufficient abili
ty and conscience for the position would hardly rest
until satisfied that he had performed his whole duty in
this matter. It is perfectly idle for a Vrosidont cv
Superintendent to say, or endeavor to quiot his con
science by saying, that nothing will happen to ns, wo
are all right aod safe: to be *ure, nccloen’shave oc
curred, but we never shall have auother train out of
time—we never shall have Another axle break, or wheel
either; eur rails are all rigbt. Tbo cattle along our
rood aro better educated now; nobody will ever place
obstructions on oar traok, or pry open the rails. All
thcvillainß and rogues are In State Prison (What a
blessed thing it would be if this latter clause were
fact ’ We wonder whore some railway managers would
be then.)
AcciJents will occar, that esoapo the most rigid scru
tiny. Wbeols break when least expected, axleß ditto,
rails ditto, chairs also. Murderous villains will plaio
obstru tlons on tho track, and numerous causes con
spire to make a rrompt stoppage of the train a fre
quent necessity. It will not do, Messrs. Railway offi
cers, for you to say in reply to this, you aro bored to
death by new improvements of ail sorls. snd do not
know what or bow to decide; you ought to know; and
if you do not, you ehould confide in tbo bettor judg
ment of those who do. Itiaapwr way to shirk your
responsibility by saying these are the opinions of some
over-fnnguine inventor, and entitled to no considera
tion. lhey are stubborn facts which we are prepared
at all times to substantiate. We make no statements
wo are not prepared to prove ; and we think we havo
given a sufficient amount of .thought and study to the
subject of railroad accidents to know wha* will pio
duce tho largest amount of sifetv in railway transit.
Our familiarity with railroad mechanism dates back os
far as 1832, and we are egotistic enough to think that no
cannot bo charged with being a novice. Perhaps the
greatest nmouut ot differonco in our case, as against
that of most invoutow, is this: We never came be
fore the public until we had a TftiEo.pnovsD. amdpkh
pkcjtbd imvkntiox; we consequently have nover had
to unsay anything.
We wish railroad officers to uod'rst&nd as early ns
possible that wo are not to bo classed with those who
present them improvements of uutrled and doubtful
value, nor do we sell patent rights and ask companies
to incur tbe expenses and trouble of experiments. Wo
know just exactly what wo propose to do, aod we in
teod to do it, snd we also intend that every railroad

Ob,
KATE VINTON,
HARRIET B. McKEEVEB.
A very neat 16mo volume. Price 76 cents.
“ In the simple story which forms the subject of this
unpretending volume, it tuabata the aim.of the writer
topresent a youthful Christian in the midst of much in
firmity, still adorning of God,’ her Saviour, in all
things.” 1
Iu order to divest religion of that aspect of gloom
which many worldlings are disposed to throw arouod Its
pith, the chief character has been described as pecu
liarly jovous and haepy, and therefore the book has
been named SUNSHINE.
• In the bright atmosphere which she spreads every
where around her, it is designed that the unselfishness
of true piety should be held up for the imitation of the
young; and, in the strong contrast presented between
the glitter of worldly pleasures, and the oalmer joys of
religion, to exhibltthe excellence and superiority of the
latter as the source of the purest and most elevated
happiness. d 3

ftjThe expenses incurred in (perfecting so rare a volume
compel the publishers to beg that booksellers will
please order early if they desire any copies of tbis

being done in cloudy weather ) will prevent a second
edition of the work from being reidy before Ohririmas,
and consequently only those ordered in advance oan be
