Mr. J. Dick, of Bufialo, showed ns, some
week or two ago, a self-acting switch of his
invention, which makes it utterly impossible,
when osed, for enrs to bo thrown off the
track, us they often ore, by unadjusted
switches.
This switch is designed to be operated in
all respects like the ordinary ones, with the
additional property of springing instaiitmic
omlv into line wnen. in consequence of any
misunderstanding or carelessness, awheel ap
proaches in the wrong direction upon the
main track. This property was put to n most
unprecedented and almost fool-hardy test on
the 27th of June lust, by running a truin at
Iho highest possible speed across not onh
one but till the switches in nearly at hundred
miles of the Buffalo und New York city rail
roads, ull designedly placed trronr 1-il'teen
miles of this route, over three of the gnpinrj
switches, was performed in seventeen minutes,
showing a very high degree of confidence in
infallibility of the invention. Tho principal
peculiarities ol tins switch consists in two
eiiptic springs, ii lever, ond a catch, which
are all to be considered lis additional to the
usual mechanism of a switch, but incensing
the cost only some twenty-five or thirty dol-
ars. I he heavest ol these springs is just
outside the track, between the rails aud the
switch-stand, and exerts a constant effort to
throw tho switch into such position ns to

When the switch is moved out. of this posi
tion by the hand lever, the second and smal
ler spring comes into play and throws forward
a boll which catches and holds the switch in
place, and ut the same time elevates an afore
mentioned lever, which is just within the
track, some sixteen feet distant. In case of
the approach of a cur or engine in the wrong
direction, the flange of the wheel presses up
on the lever, detaches tho catch, nod the
switch-rails jump iulo place w ith considera

Louis Napoleon has loo much shrewd sngaci

her warlike character, has been stripped
much of her military powers by this war. 'It

advices show that ih is likely to be overruled,
anil that ihe views of Napoleon will predomi

proposed terms of peace remains in very great
doubt. The most important of them is said
to be, the abandonment of the iirntcc torute
of the Gr?ek Christians in the Turkish em

toe demolition ol all I'm tilled ports on that

The prevailing opinion, however, is, that
llussia will scarcely accept of these terms;

to force her to their acceptance.

my salary as Super. titciidanl, which it may
be necessary to remove. At the time of my
election my suluiy was fixed ut S350 00, and
1 agreed to accept it, for vaiions reasons.
One among the most prominent of these was,
that 1 thought, as did the directors at that
time, that a higher salary would materially
diminish the sum appropriated to our County;
uud impose un additional tax on the people,
both of which 1 was unxious to prevent. No
ni. i u cau be more opposed than 1 uni to high
taxation, when it la not necessary for the
public good. Ilenco 1 labored as faithfully
us 1 could, w ithout thinking of asking a higher
salary, though 1 found my labor increasing,
J'tir beyond my first apprehensions ofthein.
The directors, I feel sure, at the time they
elected me. Ihor.ght as little of my having to
hold Teacher's lnstutes, aud describing the
chool houses j school furniture, c., which is
now required, us I did Though I found that
