be evident to every person wh|o will take the

I which will accrue from its use ajid the superiors
1 light which it affords. We herd add an experi
ment made by Br. C. 7. Hirst,! of this, place,
which fully demonstrates its onoapness,' when
compared if ith candles or burning fluid:
A Land Lamp filled with Lunar'Oil was lit
sod allowed to bum for 12 hours. At the end
of that time the oil was taken out and measured
«nd it was found that 3} ounces only had been
'consumed. Then, if 8$ ounces burn J 2 hours,
lOJounCes, or 1 pint, will bum nearly 60 hours.
If ’this be .so, one gallon willbnm 480 hours,
which is equal to 20 days, or four hours perday
for 120 days. At $1 per gallon, jthc cost would
Ik n little over fifth of accnj per hour, say
Lours for one cent 1
Mr. John Shoemaker, of this place, has pur

of this plhce, and about twelve years of age,
met with a severe accident on Saturday last -
The iqjnrcd lad and several boys about his oira
age hod procured some powder and a piece of
fuse, and were playing “dig ore” back of town.
I The blast was prepared and the fuse ignited;
but not going off immediately, they came to the
conclusion that it hod gone out, when yonng
Mans ventured forward and commenced blowing
the fuse, in the act of doing which it exploded.
Hisface was shockingly bnmed, and it was
feared at first that he would lose both his eyes.
Fortunately Ms injuries were not so serious ns
was apprehended, and with proper care pad at
tention he will recover with a badly scarred
face. Another warning to those lads who are

in the habit of playing , with powder* and one

Bitten by a Boo.—One day last week, a lit
tle girl, daughter of Wm. Neabit, of &iis place,
was severely bitten on the leg and orin bjr a fe
rocious dog in the yard of Mr. Smith. It ap
pears the little girl attempted to take something
out of a backet which stood In the yard, where
upon the dog broke the chain with; which he
was tied and seised her. With considerable
difficulty the dog wee beaten off and the girl
conveyed home wherever wounds were dressed
and she is now doing well. The dog was after
wards shot and killed.
19* The attention of those who ore troubled
with “ aching voids,” is. requested to the adver
tisement of our yonng friend, Dr. Bittner, who
has now a process for extracting teeth without
pain. This is certainly a very important dis
covery and must make >a fortune for the Br. in
a very short time. A number of those who
have tried the process attest that they felt no
pain.

Messrs. Editors: —l saw it stated in the
“ Pen-and-Scissors” column of last week’s Tri
bune, that "Large hoops are now only worn by
the under cruet." Wituout,saying that I endorse
that statement, I will relate a little incident
that occurred recently while travelling by stage,
which is too good to keep. While passing a
certain bouse, a girl, apparently about eighteen
years of age, came running out, and beckoned
to the stage driver to stop. Her hair was hang-
ing in disheveled masses about her naked shoul
ders ; her face and neck were literally covered
with dirt; her hands and anus, ditto; her
clothes, all tattered and torn, were saturated
with grease or something else. She had no
shoes or stockings on her feet. In short, she
was the most filthy looking female I had ever
seen. After talking a short time, with the stage
driver, she banded him twenty-fire cents, and
said:
“Bring me a quarter’s worth of the biggesi
hoops you can find!”
We had to laugh right out, notwithstanding
oiir attempts to prevent it. Of course she had
as good a right to wear large hoops as the rest
of her sex, and I believe she would look just as
well in them top, after she would put pn long
stockings to hide the dirt from the vulgar gaze
of the world. PURSER HANSTOBPOF.
B®r» The chief engineer of the Rending rail
road has prepared a comparative table, showing
the per centage of wear and tear, i>hd the pro
portion pf breakage, on the English nnd the
American rails. On the 601 b. nuC the wear’ on
the English was 37 to 47 ; on the American, 14
to 12 per cent; the breakage on the English, 1
bar in 89 to 1 in S 2, and on the American 1 bai
rn 427 to lin 843. It is stated that the cur
rent purchases of cheap rails in England, for
American roads,' are made one-third cinder and
slag. The refuse of former forgings and cas
tings is thrown into the new work, and the slag
dud binders, in which the proportion of silicia
renders the iron wholly unfit for purposes re
quiring strength and solidity, are reworked
with a shore of new iron, to fill the American
contracts at low prices. Boiler plates ore also

The Scientific American has now reached its fourteenth
Year, and will enter upon a New Volume on the 11th of
September. It is the only weekly publication of the kind
now fawned in this country, and it has a very, extensive cir
culation in all the States of the Union.: it u not, as eome
might suppose from its title, a dry, abstruse work on tech
nical science, on the contrary, ft so deals'with the great
events going on in the scientific, mechanical and industrial
yrorka, ns to please and instruct every one. If the Me
chanic’ or Artlzan wishes to know the best machine in use,
or how to make any substance employed in his business—
if the Housewife wishes to get a recipe for making a good
color, Ac.—if the Inventor wishes to know what is going on
in the way of improvements—if the Manufacturer wishes to
keep posted with the times, and to employ tho host facili
ties in his business—if tho man of leisure and study wishes
to keep himself familiar with the progress made in tho
chemical laboratory, or in tho construction of telegraphs,
steamships, railroads, reapers, mowers, and a thousand
other machines and appliances, both of peace and war—all
these dexidtrata can bo found in the Scientific American,
and not eUe*eh(re. l They arc hero presented in a reliable
and interesting form, adapted to tlio comprehension of
minds unlearned in the higher branches of science and art.
