The Cars got through on Sunday, however, and yesterday the trains were again running all right. The damage faom the sudden rise was not so great as it was feared It might be. The abutment of a high way bridge near Stokesdale was washed out, and we understand a couple of bridges near Potter's %rem swept away.

CONCERISINQ HORSE Pok. - Es.—lfany reader who is inclined to smile at the title of this article will spend a, little time in witnessing the manufacture of'horse pokes; as we have dope, he will admit that- oven that prosaic implement for the restraint of breachy ani mals may be an article of no little interest and'importanee. He will find that the " Eu reka Manufacturing Company" of this vil lage have redUced the making of horse pokes to a perfect system, so that a few hands:com paratively, aided by Me ingenious Machine ry devised for the work,' are able to turn out thousands of the completed iirticles each week. The Company are now engaged in filling a contract for 20,000 of these odd looking con trivances. Of course in executing such ajob it is of the first importance that the work be carried on as cheaply as possible; that the material employed be rigidly economised, 1 and that every part of the Work that will ad mit of it ho done by machinery which will work rapidly and with mathematical accu racy. Every piece of wood, every spring, and even every rivit that goes to the con struction of a horse poke is shaped and per fected almost entirely by the machines of the Company, manual labor being required only in supplying the machines with the raw ma terial and in putting together the.itnplement after its several parts have been fashioned. Of course, not the least important part of the work was the construction of the various necessary machines, and it would seem that more labor and ingenuity were called for in devising and making this machinerythan in inventing any number of implements like a horse poke, although the latter is by itself a contrivance of no little ingenuity, and ad mirably contrived to accomplish the object designed. But American ingenuity is never at fault in a work of this kind. The mana ger of the Company, Mr. I. W. Sherwood, has succeeded admirably in the adaptation of means to the end in view, and that part of the Company's shop devoted to this work is ,filled with busy and efficient evidence of his capacity in that line. ,The raw material, in the shape of lumber, iron, and brass, is taken info 'the factory in the rough, and is quickly sawed, cut, planed, turned, bent, bored and twisted by steam power i 'to the several component parts of r a comp eta implement. Made in this way, as n matter of course, the thousands of piece destined to supply any particular portion of the perfeqted article are all exact ly alike, so that when the pokes are put to gether the workmen are not required to "cut and try," btit find 'each several piece perfect ly fitted for the place it is to occupy in the world of horse pokes. In fact the works may runi for days and weeks and 'not a single ar •tiele appear to show a stranger what all the busy din is designed to effect. The visitor will see only great, piles of oddly shaped bits of wood and metal evidently fashioned with care, but of no conceivable use. But on a subsequent visit to the establishment be will find these queer pieces of wood and metal rapidly shaping themselves, under the skill ful workman's hands, into an article of great utility to man and,we imagine,of. great vex ation and perplexity to unruly beasts. Although the Company is at present main ly engaged in manufacturing these horse pokes, that work is really but an incident of their business.lThey intend hereafter to make many varieties of light agricultural imple ments, and to enter extensively upon the manufacturing of handles for forks, shovels, &c. The Company is made up of practical businessmen and workers. C. L. Willcox being President, LW. Sherwood,Vice Pres ident and Manager, and W. C. 'Bross, Sec retary and Treasurer. Their operations will, as a matter of course, be a source of a bene fit to the village and, no doubt, of profit to themselves. We wish them the largest meas -1 ure of success. HORNELLSVILLE AND WILLIAMSPORT RAILROAD—A PRACTICAL VIEW OF THE MATTER.—Friend Agitator : At this time, when railroad communication with the out side world is the general subject of conver sation, and every newspaper article on the subject is scanned with eagerness, and the conviction grows stronger in men's minds that it takes something besides talk and ci der to grade the road and put the rolling stock in successful operation, it will be well for us, as direct and indirect tiarticipatdira in this scheme of a railroad thoroughfarje, to look at the results or benefits that will be likely to neerub from the expenditure of so much money as will be required to put it in operation. Leaving out of the question benefits to be derived byowners of coal fields 'and tracts of timber, and lofting capitalists who have personal axes to grind preach about the di rect benefits, we at the present time will aces fine our remarks to fhe,indirect gain to ev ery farmer or land owner along the route; for of such men much will he expected, and I doubt not they will cheerfully put their shoulder to the wheel and give the car of internal progress a vigorous push when they once see wherein it• is going to be a paying investinent. Now for figures: „Tilts road will cost about t:380, WO per mil e, which twi ll be per•every foot in length of completed road. ' Its business-sustaining influence will be felt' six miles each side of the track, making a strip twelve miles wide. A strip of land one foot wide and twelve mile; ling contain; one and a half acres. Now , oppose th;s trip of land to lay nt right angles to the road and to , extend six miles on either side. To build one foot in length of road by direct tax on the land would require $4O . on one and a half:acres or $3.78 per acre; and where is there an acre of land within six miles of this proposed road that will not sell for four dol lars more after the road is built than now. But, says one, I do not wish to sell'. Very well ; I take for granted 'you want to do as well by your wife and children as may be when you make up the last balance sheet of your earthly accounts. You say you mar ket corn, wheat, and butter, and •consider money well invested that brings you ten per cent. interest. Off an acre of land you har vest forty bushels of corn, which will: sell for two cents per bushel more with a road than without, thus 'giving you. eighty cents on s3.7invested,or 21 per cent., or you may More than get yourmoney. back iu five years, twti_old
