'THE UUINKSK arc dexterous mendern of broken
iron vessels. Their method is described by Dr.
Lockhart. The surface of the broken vessel is first
scraped clean. A portion of cast iron is then melt
ed in a cnicibie no larger than a thimble, in a fur
nace as large as the lower half of a common tumbler.
The iron when melted is dropped on a piece of felt
covered with charcoal ashes. It is pressed inside
the vessel against the bole to be filled up. and as it
exude 3 on the other side it is struck and pressed
with a small roll of felt covered with ashes. The
new and old iron adhere, and the superfluous metal
being removed, the vessel is as good as new.
A SINGULAR SIGHT, —A curious scene was present
ed for some hours along the banks of Park
River, in the Turk, from Mulberry street bridge
down to Daniel's dam. The Hartford limes says :
Owing to some cause not fully explained, the fish
arose in swarms to the surface o(*the river, thrusting
their heads out, and gasping, as if for air; and crowds
of people, old women with poles having baskets at
tached, men, girls and boys, all armed with scop
nets, poles with bags at the end, or some contrivance
lor catching then:, w ere busy landing the fish. Large
pickerel, suckers, eels, Ac., were secured by the bush
el; —a god-scud to poor folks in these times of high,
prices, if the fish prove wholesome. What caused
this phenomenon ? The unusually thick muddy wa
ter after these rains! —or some poisonous substance
washed into the stream from the factories and brew
eries above?
Gov. JOHNSON, of Tenncsee. having obtained the
requisite authority, is raising twenty thousand men
for the purpose of clearing Tennessee of predatory
rebel bands and guerillas. 1 hey are to be mustered
in the service of the State and the United States for
a year, unless sooner discharged, and will receive the
same pay. rations clothing, iic. , that is paid to troops
the regular service.
THE followers of Joe Smith have got a strong
foothold in the city of London, which they make a
sort of European headquarters. They have lately
been holding a series of meetings there under the au
•pices of the missionaries, Brigham Young. Jr., and
Orson Pratt. Young Brigham went out the past
spring, and the Loudon Mormons have chosen him
as European president, and his father as president of
♦be church of the latter day saints ail over the
world.
Tut MOSQCITO INVASION. —-This is the topic of uni
versal comment. Nothing like it has been known
in the experience of the "oldest inhabitant." Like
Early's guerillas in Pennsylvania, these stinging pests
penetrate everywhere, laying tribute on all within
their reach, and refusing even then to abandon
Sield. During the last two nights all sorts of expe
dientsjbave been resorted to in order to rid houses
and sleeping apartments of the invaders; people who
have never smoked before have given themselves
with heroic resignation to the fumigation of their
rooms; camphor has been freely used in washing
every exposed part of the person: while hundreds oi
kindhearted, peaceful housekeepers have suddenly
become pitiless belligerents, waging a war ol
extermination on the whole mosquito family. Last
evening several stores were closed before seven
o'clock, owing to this extraordinary "raid." This
morning the eonutry peop'e came to market with
their heads bound up, and flirting twigs of leaves to
drive oft the annoying insects, while their horse
were covered with asparagus btupches -as a protection
from the same enemy. The salutation, as friend
meets friend, is no longer " A pleasant day this;"or,
" Glad to see you, old fellow but "Did you ever
see any thing equal to these mosquitos? Blastc'm!"
Btaps right and left, giving an angry vehemence t<
every syllable of the grating.— Newark (h . J.) Ad
vertiser, Aug. '2.7,
TEE JCPGES of the Supreme Conrt of Mew-Hatnp
shire, to whom the question was referred have affirm
cd the constitutionality of the bill allowing soldier:
to vote.
DEVTH OF MISS SOETHEY. —The last unmarriec
daughter of Konthey. the poet, has lately died a
Laitthwaite C>>ttage. in Keswick, in the English 1 ak<
district. The deceased, Miss Katherine Souther
was in her fifty-fourth year, and has been ill for ;
long time. She has received for many years fron
the British GoVernmentacivilpension'of JSTOO, which
by her death, reverts to the crown. She was burriet
in Crosthwaite churchyard, near her father an*
mother.
COFFEE AS THE FRENCH PREPARE IT. —In Paris tin
•.toffee i 3 nectar compared with the beverage we i:
common call coffee. I was desirous to know how i
was prepared, and soon learned. The French us<
three kinds of coffee. Mocha, Java, and Bio, mixet
in equal parts. The coffee before roasting is winow
ed to cleanse it of dust, &e. : it is then enlled or pick
ed over: every black or defective kernel is pieke<
out, as well as small stones, seeds, and rat droppings
which are abundant in most coffee. It is then pu
into tubs of clean water and we'd j washed, thei
spread to dry: when dry it is ready for roasting.
The coffee required is roasted daily at large estab
lishments; while warm, it is ground and put up it
glazed papers of a conical shape, holding fron
two ounces to half a pound, and sealed up. Gentle
men, as they leave their places of business for 'lonu
ana dinner, when convenient call and take the need
ed supply. The coffee is put into a pot or digeste
in cold water, and then set over a lamp expressly fo
the purpose, and heated, not boiled, but steeped
I'roin this digestor no steam or fumes arise ; whei
rsady you have your cup of coffee. It is coffee, am
a beverage delicious, health-giving nottha bitter, ac
rid, filthy, nauseous drug we are in the habit of par
taking and calling it coffee.
THE FREMONT DEMONSTRATION. —It is pretty gen
eraly understood that Freemont is to be with
drawn as a candidate for the Presidency and some
body else nominated in his place at Buffalo. Hi:
name does not prove to be the tower of strength i
was expected to prove. He fails to rally to his suppor
all the patriotism, ail the virtue, all the public spirit o!
the country. Even the Germuos do not come up t<
the work as it was supposed ibev would. On th<
whole, Fremont is a dead failure, and must be take:
out of the way. Wilkes' Spirit discovered overt
month ago that the movement wa3 merely a tendei
on McClellan. and lefused to be a party to it an;
longer. Its example has been very extensively fol
lowed.—AL Y. Times.
THE POLISH REBELLION seems to be completed
quieted. Order reigns in Warsaw; but thougl:
there arc theatres open, the public flock, of all. once
a week to the station of the railway to St. Peters
burgh . That fashionable promenadeJeoHecis eacl:
time from tour thousand to eight thousand persons.
There is music there also, botof a peculiar kind—
weeping, sobs, and groans. That promenade or thai
amusement, call it which you will, is named the a
dieux to the banished political criminals. The fash
ion has been but lately introduced by the agitators.
Although the day fixed for the departure of the con
victs is always kept secret, yet the whole of Warsaw
bears of it in the night, and from four o'clock in the
morning the station is tilled by acompaet mass. On
ly a dozen are sent off at a time, and yet thousand.-
go to bid them farewell.
THE FRIENDS OF GPN-C{VITON re pressing its advan
tages over gunpowder very actively. Its weight is on
ly one-sixth of that of gunpowder. It produces no
smoke; it does not foul , and does not hurt. With
but ope-fpurth of the weight of a gunpowder charge,
it gives equal initial velocity, and in shells otie-tljrd
of the weight produces double the explosive force.
Time, lamp and moisture do not after its qualities.

Being an accurate and detailed account, accompanied
hv more than 4(h) pictorial representations characteristic
to tho various diseases to which the Equine ruce are sub
jected ; together with the latest mode of treatment, and
all the requisite prescriptions written in plain English.—
By Edward Muvhew, M. R. C. V. S., author of several
Works on Veterinary Art.
[From the London Globe.]
F.vcrv gentleman who possesses or cares for horses
would do well to keep this hook in his house. Mr. May
hew'* treatment of the worst diseases to which horses arc
liable is very clearly laid down and the method of keep
ing horses well and to a prolonged old age, is that of na
ture, of oomutou sense.
[From the Era.]
No one with tho least equine knowledge can require to
)>c told that Mr. Mahew is the man for rite task which he
has undertaken, and most satisfactorily accomplished.—
His high reputation-in the veterinary art, and his qualifi
cations as a practiced writer on domestic animals, render
him the very person for supplying an intelligent and in
teresting work on the diseases of tbr horse, which would
be devoid of mere professional locJli ics, while, at the
same time, his skill as a draughtsman, and humor as a
I witty observer of life, enabled him to illustrate with his
pencil what he had written with his pen. We advisedly
! say that "The Illustrated Ilorsp Doctor" is the very l>est
book of the kind which we know: and what gives it an
essential charm is. that the author so thoroughly sympa
thizes with the noble animal which he describes . . .
We at once pronounce it as scientific, yet intelligible : in
forming, yet highly amusing: acceptable to the profound
horse doctor, yet the work ofall others for the book shelves
in every gentleman's sanctum. . , . We give it our
unqualified upprobationvand recommendation.

HOSTETTERS'
CELEBRATED
uoHtcK en.
A pure and powerful Tonic, corrective and alternativeef
wonderful efficacy in disease of the
STOMACHH LIVEIi AND BOWELS.
Cote* Dyspepsia, Liver complaint, Headache, General de
bility, Nervousness, Depression of Spirits, Constipation
Colic, Intermittent Fevers, Cramps and Spasms, and all
Complaints of either Sex, arising from Bodily Weakness
whetherjinherent in the system or produced by special
causes.
Nothing that is not wholesome, genial and restorative
in its nature enter* into the composition of Hosteller's
Stomach Bitters This popular preparation contains n*
mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical element; ae
fiery excitant ; but it is a combination of tho extraet* ef
raTe balsamic herbs aud plants with the purest and mild
est of all diffusive stimulants
It is well to be forearmed against disease, and so far ae
human system can be protected by human means against
maladies engendered by an unwholesome atmosphere, im
pure water and other external causes, Hostetter's Bitter*
may bo relied on as a safeguard.
In districts infested with Fever and Ague, it hat) been
found infullible a* a preventive aud irresistable as a rem
edy, and thousands who resort to it under apprehension
of an attack, escape the scourges and thousands who neg
lect to avail themselves of it* protective qualities in ad
vance, arc cured by a very brief course of this marvelous
medicine Fever and Ague patients, after being plied
with quinine for months in vain, until fairly saturated
with that dangerous alkaloid, and not unfrcquently re
stored to hcaltff within a few days by the use of Hostet
ter's Bitters.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appe
tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence it works
wonders in cases of Dtspepsia and in less confirmed forms
indigestion. Acting as a gentle and painless aperient*,
as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves tbe
Constipation superinduced by irregular action of the di.
gestivc and secretive organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervoui Attache, Lea
neet of Spirite,aud Fife of Languor, find prompt and per
manent relief from the Bitters. The testimony on thia
point is most conclusirc. and from both sexes.
The agony of Billious Colic is immediately assuaged by
a single dose of tbe stimulant, and by occasionally resort
ing to it, tbe return of the complaint may be prevented.
As a general Tonic, Hostetter's Bitters produce effects
which must be experienced or wjjnessed before they can
be fully appreciated In eases of Cotutitvtional Weak
neei, Premature Decay and Debility and Decreptitude
arising from Old Age, it exercises on electric influent*.
In the convalescent stage* of all diseases it operates as m
invignrant. When the powers of nature are relaxed, it
operates to re-enforce and re-establish them.
I-ast, but not least, it is The Ouly Safe Stimulant, being
mnnufactured from soundand innoxious materials, and
tirely free from the acid elements present more or less in
in all the ordinary tonics and stomachics of tho day.
No family medicine ba* been so universally, and it iry
be truly added, deeerredly popular with, the inteiligta
portion of the community, as Hostetter's Bitters.
