a
“ Case-hardening” at the Railway Works
——-
Yesterpay marked a new era in the manufacture of renewals for engines in the locomotive department of our railway. As our readers are no doubt aware, the wearing parts of the locomotives are being continually renewed. In order to make these parts more lasting they require to be wade. very hard, Until” yesterday the process euiployed was to heat the iron, and when hot apply to it prussiate of potash. This hardened the surface, but not to any considerable depth. This is popularly called case-hardening, but it can easily be seen it is a mere substitute for the real process. : ; :
In ‘‘case-hardening” an iron air-tight case or box is used. The pieces of homo- genous iron to be hardened, are first fitted, tured and polished. Thiey are then ‘care- fully packed in the case with hydro-carbon- ated bone-black, a substance purchased in Philadelphia by the energetic. Mechanical Superintendent, Mr. Unsworth. The lid is then placed on the case with a small vent for the escape of part of the gases formed by combustion. This case with its contents is then placed in a furnace on a cricket, so that a good” circulating heat may be kept around it on all sides. The case is brought toared heat as quickly as possible, and kept at this uniform heat for several hours. Great care must be taken in this respect so as notto blister the pieces. It is then drawn from the furnace, the jid retnoved and the contents immediately dumped into a cold waterbath, This bath is kept from chang- ing its temperature by a stream of gold water rising from the bottam, by this
process the iron, by the absorption of the carbon supplied by the
Hydro Oarbonated

Universal Medical Education. | Sin,—The perusal of the very instructive | and comprehensive lecture upon ** Agricul- tural Education,” published by you, along with the reading of that brilliant (2) joke by the Patriot over the late Mr. Holloway has led to the asking that, through your lJ urna), {may be permitt.d to address the puoNe Upon a matter whick must be con- ceded to he one of paramount importance, That key of the past,a classical edue ton is undoubtedly a source of pleasure to the possessor, as well as a means oft-times cof support; stil the world could get along comfortably enough without it. Agricul- tural education would prove a Godsend to the hand of toil, and an enricher of the world at large; yet, without it, we could manage to plod along; but the subject which I now bring which intimately concerns the well being not only of a class, but of the community. [ refer to the uuniversal medical education. Ido not propose that the education of every women be completed with a course in medicine, though that would be a more certain benefit than a touch of the “accom- plishments;” neither do I advise that the already overorowded profession be swelled by these ‘‘more fitted for the plough;” nor do I urge the demolition of any organized institution, in the stead of which to erect a medical hall for the masses, with dissec- ting and lecture rooms for the public; but this Seemingly trifling concession I plead for, the introduc ion of a reliable medical book into the public schools. When we hear doctors exclaim “Had you only called me sooner, &c.,” we are profoundly impressed with a sense of our own ignorance, When we see the wnco/lege- bred doctor's assistant, presuming to visit his patron’s patient, and prescribing ‘‘give him as much eold water as he can drink” in a severe case of bronchial affection; meanwhile, through the Patriot, denounce- ing “‘Quacks,” we begin to recognize a farce. Then when we are in a most cowardly manner attacked by the same in- dividual in low and abusive language for having presumed, even upon good grounds, to relinquish the services of the patron, we are in this ‘final act” convinced that—‘‘all is nat gold that glitters,” From sad experience, I have learned that bluster and assumption of dignity are generally the mask of ignorance, (and ig- norance, if culpable in others, is crime in a physician), aud that the sycophant with the mighty, is ever the boor with the lowly. But it is quite possible ta find skill and politeness combined in the profession, and my hint does not mean that the physician
guidebook. What such would not object to, would be of incalculable service; a
compilation of instructions how to act in cases of accident, or sudden illness, or when the doctor is not procurable. Most families possess
a medical adviser in book form, and to these mothers -who possess such, I wonld earnestly regom- mend the guide which has, I believe, under the Almighty, saved the life of one of my children. | refer to ‘‘Advice to a Mother,” by Dr. Pye Chavasse. This book has been translated into various languages, and has passed through twelve editions; the last, consisting of 20,000 copies, being sold in less than three years. It only costs seventy-five cents, and igs real worth ig beyond all price Hoping the suggestions I have thrown out may be taken in good part, and that others, better qualified than myself, will assist in furthering some scheme for diffusing medical instruction, I am truly yours, MATeRFAMILIAS.

‘‘Darrmovutu.’—On Thursday, the 24th inst., the owner of the celebrated trotting stallion *‘Dartmouth” gave the people of Sum- merside and surrounding country an exhibi tion of that horse’s gait and speed, There
sion. When all was over, the unanimous ver- dict of those assembled was that never before did a trotting horse appear to such advantage in that part of the Islend. He was driven by Mr. W. A. Noonan. The trotting stallion Dartmouth” was sired by ‘‘Volunteer,” dam by imported ‘‘Consternation,” and bred by Mr. Goldsmith, Grange County, New York. He was imported by R. C. McLecd, Esq., of | Summerside. This horse is of a rich mahog- any brown, stands fifteen and a-half hands high, weighs 1,050 pounds, and is beyond question the fastest stallion on this Island. He has a perfectly easy and graceful move- ment, and has trotted on the Summerside ice in 2.25—timed by several disinterested gen- tlemen. Mr. McLeod has rendered the country great service by the importation of 30 fine and yaluable gn animal. We feel quite gure that his enterprise will meet with dye

The work of to day in the House con- sisted of the introduction of a Bill for the declaration of titles to land and to facilitate its transfer in the territories of Canada, by Mr. McCarthy. _ There is no question about immigration into Canada. Hon. Mr. Pope stated that the number of immigrants arrived in Can- ada last year, settlera or laborers, was 123 303.
Mr. Blake aitacked these figures, declared that not one half of that number enter- ed the country, and thal very much more than seventeen per cent went out. In connection with a vote for papers relating the High Commissioner, Mr, Blake did not attempt to argue agaimst the legality of the appointment of Sir Charles Tupper, but opposed the duzl app int- ;ment on the ground of expediency, as it was undesirable to continue two such positions. Sir John argued that ‘the arrangement
