Glasgow, Sept. 21, 1865,
Gen. Frf mont, Col. Zagonyi and other
gentlemen, have taken out a patent for
expelling sap that produces rot in wood,
and inserting sulphate of iron and other
sub-lnnccs that render it incorruptible. If
lhe discovery is what Ihcy believe it, it will
be a fortune to the owners of the patent.
The wood can be prepared very cheaply,
and will be used lor railroad tics, wharves
ship timber, and various other purposes.
Fur the privilege of selling books ond
newspapers on the Hudson River R ailroad,
it is said that na K-ss than $5000 0 year U
paid. For the same 'privilege on the
Central Railroad, the tax is $5000 per year.
This seems large sum, and yet it is laid
that a large income is derived from the op
erations. On the Hudson River road the
sales average $100 to eaoh through train.
On the Central the average is $150 per
train. The books and papers are not sold
by the owners of the right, but by boys
employed by them. The boy receive fif

wages.
