J. R. Layton, claiming to be a member of Div. 84, and presenting a card, and a letter from the Supt. of Machinery of the G. W. R'y, of Canada, was employed at Sedalia, Mo., to run an engine on the M. K. & T. R'y. He burnt two first class engines and carried the foreman's watch away with him. Div. 84 know nothing of any such man. We ask again, who gave him the card, and who is responsible for the endorsements he presented? SPECIAL NOTICES. We do not hold ourselves responsible for any articles from our correspondents, and we hope that none will feel aggrieved if their communications are rejected. We are acting for the good of the Brotherhood, and have no personal aims to promote. All communications should be accompanied with the post-office address in full of the writer, but the real signature need not appear in the JOURNAL if so desired. All communications of this character will receive prompt attention, and a reply will be returned if rejected. The price of subscription will be One Dollar per coprt but we offer as an inducement to all that send a list of ten or more, ten per cent. discount. This rule will apply to all our friends, as well as to members of the Brotherhood. In addition to the above, we will give a nicely bound copy of the JOURNAL for 1871, to any of our lady friends who send us a list of ten or more subscribers, obtained outside of the Brotherhood. To be fairly entitled to the ten per cent., the JOURNALS should be ordered sent to one address without any names being written upon them. It but a trifle for each agent to keep a list and write the names upon each JOURNAL. but to be obliged to write the names for several thousand, It is quite a task. In sending subscriptions for the JOURNAL, be ware and write names distinct, and give full directions as to WHERE and How they wish them sent, Subscribers wishing a change made in the direction of the JOURNAL, will please state where it was sent before. It is almost impossible to Ind the name without much waste of time, when they simply say, send my JOURNAL to such a pince, and not give the present address. All orders for JOURNALS to be sent by Express, should give residence, or some particular place to have the package left, so as not to cause any delay in the delivery, or unnecessary trouble to the express companies. We have plenty of bound JOURNALS, volumes First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth, which we will furnish at One Dollar for the year 1867, and One Dollar and Fifty Cents each for the years 1870 71 and 72. We have plenty of back numbers of the JOURNAL for the years 1871-2 Great complaint is made that it is impossible to obtain replies to correspondents between some of the Sub-Divisions. We hope some Brother will be selected in each Division, whose special duty It shall be to answer all correspondents promptly. And it is very important that each Division should have a particular Post-Office address that can be reached at any time, without a possibility of failure. The Division addresses, should, in all cases, appear in the meeting notices in the JOURNAL. It is much the safest and cheapest way to send money by Post-Office order or Drafts. Registered Letters are no safeguard to the money. Brothers calling, will find our office readily by following walk in rear of depot, up Bank street, opposite rear of Weddell House. then turn to the left on Frankfort street, when the sign of Messrs. Nevins' Printing House will be visible. CONDUCTORS INTERNATIONAL BRO J. W. SILSBEE, G. C. C., Scranton, Pa. JOSEPH PACKARD, G. R. S.. Amboy, Ill.

The platforms are held in a plane with the silis on the cars. 24. The platforms cannot be broken by any ordinary accident. 8d. Telescoping is impossible. 4th. Any required compression may be attained, to prevent accidents by oscillation. 5th. No links and pins are required, and no one is required to go between cars to couple them. 6th. The platforms may be held as close torether as desired. 7th. By close coupling the train is shortened. 8th. They will not accidently uncouple. 9th They may be uncoupled without shutting off." to make a flying switch. 10th. They are strong: the train will not "break in two," at starting or while running. 11th. They cause the train to move steadily and Bot jerk in starting or stopping. 12th. They will work well at great variation of height. 13th. They will couple with all kinds of "draw heads" and couplers." 14th. They are cheap and durable. 15th Injury to men when coupling cars is en tirely prevented. 16th. Iujury to persons by falling between cars is entirely prevented. 17th. Injury to persons and to cars by "telescoping" is entirely prevented. 18th. Injury to persons and to cars by "oscilla tion" is entirely prevented 19th. The great steadiness of the cars, produced by compression. render sleeping cars much more desirable. 20th. Train Brakes" are rendered more valuable by the non-existence of "slack" in the train.

Boston, Mass, HOWARD WATCH AND CLOCK 00,, 15 Maiden Lane, New York. E. HOWARD & CO., PROPRIETOR! There is a Medicine that will cure Coughs, Asthma Bronchitis, and Consumption. It has been used for years, constantly increasing in popularity, being very pleasant to the taste and having no disagreeable effects. Do not let prejudice prevent you trying it. It is called "PISO'S CURE FOR CONSUMPTION," E. T. HAZELTINE, and is Sold by all Druggists. TESTIMONIALS. CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 19, 1872. Sir:-I have used your Piso's Cure, and regard it as the best medicine for what it is intended, that I have ever tried. Several Engineers have given it a high recommendation. I have an article written by an Engineer on the C. & P. R. R., recommending "Piso's Cure" very highly. After hearing so much said of your me licine as being excellent for men who are exposed to the weather, like Engineers, it occurred to me that you could not select a better medium to advertise it than through our "Journal." Yours truly, CHARLES WILSON, G. C. E. EXTRACT from an article in March JOURNAL, written by EDWIN SMITH, Jr., Engineer on C. & P. R. R. In rec As a Cough or Cold Medicine, to carry on our engines and for our families at home, I do not think there is anything better (if it has an equal) than "Piso's Cure for Consumption." It is a medicine truly worthy of trial, as I know by experience in my own family, also having seen much of it used outside of my own family. omending Piso's Cough Cure, I do so unknown to the proprietors of this medicine, as they are entire strangers to me, never having seen them; and I should think an adver tisement from them would be beneficial both for them and the readers of the Journal, EDWIN SMITH, JR., Member of Div. 31, of the B. of L. E., Cleveland, O. BELLEVILLE, O., January 19, 1872. E. T. HAZELTINE, Sir:-Please send me at least six dozen of "Piso's Cure for Consumption," as early as convenient. Customers say it cures as if by magic. Yours, JAMES C. POTTS. NATIONAL BANK OF MIDDLETOWN, Middletown, Pa., January 17, 1872. E. T. HAZELTINE, Sir:-I have been using the "Piso's Cure for Consumption" for some time, and had fully proven its efficacy 'ere I wrote you; it has not only removed a pain I had in my breast, but has increased my appetite, and invigorated my whole system. It excels any medicine I ever used before. Yours, GEORGE SMULLER, President. PETERSBURG, VA., February 12, 1872. E. T. HAZELTINE, Dear Sir:-Soon after the war, in a bill of goods from Lazell, Marsh & Gardner, I found two bottles thrown in as samples; having a cough at the time I tried one and was relieved. The other cured a man here, who apparently was far gone in Consump tion. Dr. one of our leading Physicians, has a daughter who has had several hemorrhages and was rapidly declining. He said he could not help her. The effects of "Piso's Cure for Consumption" in the case mentioned above, induced him to try it, and it cured her. Dr., with several other of our leading Physicians, (though for. bidden by the rules of a Medical Faculty to prescribe a patent medicine") always permit the use of it by their patients; they pronounce it the best Cough Remedy they know. O. P. HARE *The name of the Physician is given by our Correspondent, but for obvious reasons it is omitted here. Yours, |
