Railroad companies sustain a great loss in car wheels, by their.running unevenly — cither becoming rounding, hollowing or having flat places worn on their they are rendered unserviceable, and heretofore they have been disposed of as old iron, to be broken up and re-cast, When it is considered that a pair ot car wheels cost from $35 to $40, and when they are thrown out of use are worth but $7 for old iron,. some idea of the magnitude of the loss to the railroad companies ef the country may be realized. ‘Gowan's gtinding machine is intended to make these old wheels as good as The machine consists of a strong iron frame work, on which a pair of car wheels are adjusted, amd opposite these areplaced emery wheels which being brought in contact with the} tone-of the others. -with having perpetrated a scurvy} ‘would the Workingmen do forsn or “Ttrick which was not found out-till} — {-him, “aiid Capable in SIF his deahigs; “his Ri chief fault appearing te be that he running under the direction of Mr. . } TRAMPED OUT. at Hunt's Hatt, — The pedestrian: .
