A Cajwkw bj Usiso Kerosene.—Now that the great competition in the manufacture of coal or Kerosene oil has minced the price, and conse- increased the liability to throw an inferior article on the market, we may be doing our read.- era a service by printing the following facts recent ly elicited at a Coroner inquest in New York.— Mrs. Siddons. having been burnt to death by the explosion ofacanof Kerosene oil, with which she attempted to kindle a fire, and it being generally understood that Kerosene oil was not explosive, the coroner ghve the case a thorough examination. The farts shown were principally in the testimony of George Mowty, of Titusville, He testified that he was a refiner of petroleum; has been a manufacturing chemist for twenty-six years; is the first who introduced the petroleum oil from Pennsylvania into New York. The wit ness then pouted out about four ounces of each of the oils produced by Dr. Peard. I’he Kerosene oil did not ignite. The oil sold to the deceased;’ ignited instantaneously. An oil manufactured by Mr. Kelly, of Green Point, ignited immediately. ; Another aample purchased at Mr. Kelly’s works by a juryman, did not ignite. The mixture of benzole or benzine and heavy oil, ignited easily. The witness then testified that, in the process of refining, on extremely light fluid, termed improp erly Benzine, Benzoic or Naptha, bat which is new to chemists, comes over first. After this a mixture of various (fils supposed by many to be very numerous, but really only a few,, comes over, and lastly heavy oil and paraffine; these latter at a temperature of melting lead; the lost portions and the first, that is the benzine, and paraffine are rejected, while the intermediate oils are reserved, and often after a treatment with solpheric acid, soda, aad washiag, are delivered to the trader, as illuminating oil. If| however, through cupidity or ignorance the manufacturer adds the first portions that run over, to the intermediate portions, an ex plosive oil is the result, dangerous precisely in pro portion to the quantity Of benzine that has been added. A test for such explosive oil would be the application of a match, as shown by the jury still better would be the wanning of the oil to a tem perature of 100 deg., and then offering a lighted match; if it ignited it shonld be rejected. The following test was proposed before Die jury os the easiest method of detecting impute kerosene: Four oat s teaspoonfall and immerse in it a light ed match, and if it will take fire before the tem perature is raised to 110 degrees, then the oil is explosive. ■ A.

Altoona, Feb. 13, 1862—tf atbre and buoyancy of spirits previously displayed by li umbers of the Secession residents—bothmen and women. The feet of Gen. Shield’s command having been screened from observation on the east side of the town, led the informants of Jackson to believe that all our troops were evacuating, and that Jack son could enter unobstructed. This evidence is derived from the prisoners. Good judges estimate the enemy’s lossatbver two hundred killed, five hundred wonnded, and three hundred prisoners, including an aid-de-camp of Jackson’s staff. Oar loss was one hundred and fifty killed and about three hundred wonnded. LATEST PARTICULARS. Winchester, March 25.—The details of the fight on Sunday record more deeds of personal his toiy and daring than any battle in histoA. Captain Shriber, aid and inspector of General Shield’s division, while riding to the crest of a hill to the left of Stone Ridge, in company with two orderlies, was confronted by five rebel cavaliy, who emptied their revolvers, killing the two orderlies. Capt. Sliriber charged on them, running one through to the hilt of the sword, and receiving a ball through the cap, but escaped unhurt. Capt. Perkins, the chief of; General Banks’staff, was mainly instrumental in planning the attack, and performed deeds of skill anil valor. The twelfth rebel regiment engaged were all Vuginians, including the Ist, 2nd, 4th, 13th, 23rd, 42nd and 32nd Virginia regiments, and one pro visional.and one Irish regiment. They had the assistance of Ashby’s cavaliy, and two ’eight gun batteries, one six gtm batfeiy, and one four gun battery, making twenty-six gnns, among which were some of the captured Bull Run pieces. ■ The four color bearers of the sth Ohio were suc cessively killed, when Capt. Witcomb seized the colors, and prepared sword in hand to defend them. He fell with a shot through the head. A youthful rebel fell, receiving two wounds in the breast. When he was approached by one of our officers, he enquired if the officer knew Gen. Banks. He received an affirmative reply. “ Tell him I want to take the oath of allegiance,” said the boy, “for I have three brothers in the federal service, and I want them to know that J died true to the Union.’’ Gen. Shields’ arm was badly shattered, and owing to the imperfect setting it first received, he most undergo the painful operation of having it re-set. -This morning many of the bodies of both Union and rebel soldiers remained on the field, but they have since been interred. Many of the wounded have died since having been brought to this city. * The ladies of this town are busy furnishing the wonnded with comforts. B * The ladies connected with the theatre, which is j now occupied as a hospital, ate also assidious in I j meir attendance to the sufferers. The latest reports to-night represent all quiet in the neigborhood of Strasbnrg. It Is reported that two sons bf the late John A. Washington were in Sunday’s fight, and both were wounded, while one was, taken a prisoner. From Lieut. Morrow, of F ranks town, who came home on the Fast Line last evening, having been wounded in the foot, we gather the following in formation concerning the killed and wounded of the 84th regiment. Col. Murray was struck by three balls. The first carried away the. oilcloth covering of his cap bnt did him no injury. The second struck exactly in the centre of the bugle on the front of his cap, and passed through his head, killing him ins^utly. The third struck him the thigh as.he was being earned from the field. ■ His remains arrived in Harrisburg on Wednesday where they will remain until to-morrow (Friday) when they will be for warded to Hollidaysbug on the Mail Train.- Capt. Galiaher, of Williamsburg, was struck by a minnie ball above the left eye and instantly killed. Lieut. Reem, of Franks town, and privates Paul Long, from near HoUldaysbnrg, Brubaker, from near Altoona, and Joseph Miller, from Wil liamsburg, were also killed. Twenty-throe of the 84th regiment were killed, but the shove are all the names we have. Lient. Holliday, of Tipton, Lieut, Morrow, of 'Frankstown, and privates Wilson andHikman, pf the latter place, and Hancock, of Williamsburg are among the wonnded. We have heard of a number of instamyg of no ble daring and narrow escapes on the part of the gallant men of the 84th and UOth, bnt we have not space to chronicle them tins week. We will do them justice in oar next, by which time we ex e: to have frill particulars. Pennsylvanians can t. Hurrah for fire 84th and IlOthand the flag of our Union forever!
