SEC. 324. That after the trot publication of such notion of attachment as required by law, every person indebted to, or having possession of any property belonging to, the said defendants, or either of them, and having knowledge of such notice, shall account and answer for the amount of such debt, and the value of such property ; and any disposal or attempt to dispose of any such property, to the injury of the United States, shall be illegal and void. And when the person indebted to, or having possession of the property of, such defendants, or either of them, shall be known to the distriet attorney or marshal, each officer shall see that personal notice of the attachment is served upon such person; but the want of such notice shall not invalidate the attachment. See. 325. That upon application of the party whose property has been attached, the court, or any judge thereof, may discharge the warrant of attachment as to the property of the applicant, provided such applicant shall execute to the United ntates a good and sufficient penal bond, in double the value of the property attached, to be approved by a judge of the court, and with condition for the return of said property, arts answer any judgment which may be rendered by the court in the pre mises. Sec. 326. That nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or abridge, in any manner, such rights of the United States as have accrued or been allowed in any district under the former practice of, or the adoption of State laws by, the United Stator courts.

The materials employed are used as substitutes for lime in purifying boxes (as now generally em ployed in gas works) require no change of apparatus, and entirely rid the gas of its sulphur and ammonia compounds at one and the same operation. It is simple in operation, and when compared to lime produces enormous results, at the same time being entirely free from the disa greeable smell attending the removal of lime. It can be seen in operation at the gas works in Bridgeport, and from their books we take an average of the past six months operations as follows : Onupushel of the material purifies perfectly over 30,- 000 cubic feet of gas from sulphur, and 50.000 cubic feet fron antmonia(no percep tatile trace of either can be perceived with the most delicate tests),lime purifying to average about 4,500 cubic feet per bushel from sulphur alone, it follows that this material lasts not only from 6 to 8 times As long, but dispenses with the labor to constantly chaage so much lime. Another, and probably the greatest feature in the use of this material, and which will readily recommend itself to engineers, is the fact of entirely doing away with "scrubbing" of gas by water, the ammonia being ab sorbed by the material. This by actual experience gives an additional yield offroni 200 to 750 cubic feet per ton of coals used. Westmoreland is used at Bridge port, and gives about 300 cubic feet in crease, and an additional illuminating power of from 2 to 3 candles. This state ment seems to need some explanation, but the simple filet of atopping the water washing, and saving the elegant and rich hydro-carbon gases, that are drenched into the tars, is all the explanation required, and we think will satisfy any engineer. If not a pyrometric test of gas from the hydraulic main purified by means of this material and from the holders when purifi ed by water and limp will convince any skeptic. It follows again that the use of cannel coal can be dispensed with as there is sufficient illuminating , qualities in our gas as originally made, if it were not deteriorated by washing for the ammonia impurity. So much for the material and its uses, our space being limited we of courae cannot go into details. In the re manufacture the sulphur and ammonia are removed from the material, and by a pecu liar process the original substance is brought again into condition to absorb sulphur and ammonia. This can again and again go on, the limit being only natural wastes of handling. This is an entirely new branch of industry in our country, and when one looks at the enor mous deposits of coal that will not admit of being worked by reason of the excess of sulphur, it will be seen how valuable a discovery like the above becomes, and how even the once dreaded sulphur can be brought into a substance and become of value. This invention was discovered by W. H. Adams, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, who can give any information wanted con cerning it, and it is now first made known to the scientific public by this journal.— Pittsburgh Iron World. The Death of Wm. H Seward. The death of William H. Seward is an event which will attract universal atten tion, as it recalls at once the life and labors of one of the most' distinguished of Amer icans. Mr. Seward was born in Florida, Orange county, New York, May 16, 1801. His ancestors were of Welch extraction on his Ather's side, and of Irish on his mother's. At the age of 9 years he was sent to the academy at Goshen, among whose pupils had been Noah Webster and Aaron Burr. At 15 he went to the Union College and subsequently was a teacher in Georgia, where he received his first unfavorable impressions of negro slavery. In 1822 he was admitted to the bar, and removed to Auburn, New York, where he formed a law partnership with Judge Miller, whose youngest daughter he married in 1824. He entered politics by presiding at a con vention of young mcn who favored the re election of John Quincy Adams in 1828, and in 1830 entered the State Senate. In August, 1830, he was elected to the State Senate as the Anti-Mason candidate, and in 1834 was nominated for Governor by the Whigs, but was defeated by William L. Marcy. In 1838 he was renominated to the same office by the same party, and was elected by 10,000 majority over his former competitor. In 1849 Mr. Seward was elected to the United States Senate, and was re-elected in 1825, and completed his terns with the incoming of the Lincoln Administration, when he was made secre tary of State under Mr Lincoln, and re tained the office under Mr. Johnson's Administration. He had been in 1860 a prominent candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency, and will be remembered in history as one of the founders of the Republican party, notwith standing his leaning towards Johnson's policy, which lost him many political friends. The attack made upon bins by Payne at the time of the assassination of Lincoln, nearly caused Mr. Seward's death, and afterwards affected his health. When - he resigned the Secretaryship of State he retired entirely from public life, and speet the last few years of his life in traveza or literary work. In 1869 he visited the Pacific coast and Mexico, and in 1870 started upon the tour of the world,.vi-iting San Francisco, Japan, China, India, Turk ey and Europe, and being everywhere received with honor. At the time of his death he was engaged on a comprehensive history of his traves, which, even if in complete, will be valuable. He was one of the ablest of American statesmen, and made a profound impression upon his age.—Philadelphia Post. Thanksgiving Day The President has set apart Thursday, November 26, as a day of Thanksgiving, and has issued the following proclamation: WHEREAS, The revolution of another year has again brought the time when it is usual to look back upon the past and publicly to thank the Almighty for His mercies and His blessings; And whereas, If any one• people has nio co occasion .than another for such than k fulness, it is the citizens of the United States, whose Covernment is their creature, subject to their behests, who have reserved to themselves ample civil and religious freedom and equality before the law, who during the last twelve months have enjoy ed exemption from any grievous or gener al calamity, and to whom prosperity in ag riculture, manufactures and commerce has been vouchsafed : Now, therefore, by these considerations, I recommend that on Thursday, the 28th day of November next, the people meet is their respective places of worship, and there make their acknowledgments to God for His kindness and bounty. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 11th day of October, in the year of our Lord, 1872, and of the independence of the United States the ninety-seventh. U. S. GRANT.

The arrangement of the Agraffe, the manner of stringing, the peculiar form and arrangement of the Iron Promo SUPERCEDES ALL OTHERS The use of a bar (which is a part of the Iron Frame on a line witty the heavy steel stringing.) gives GREAT STRENGTH where most needed, and in this respect all other pi.oes fail, The construction of the WREST PLANK, into which the tuning Pisa are inserted, is such that it is impossible for the pins to come loosened, or the Wrest Plank itself to split, as is too often the ease in other Piano-Fortes. The Extraordinary Evenness thteughmt the scale, the excellent singing Quail- ity, the LENGTH AND PURITY OP VIBRATION, all go to prove what we claim, viz : that the ARION PIANO-FORTE Is the Best Instrument Manufactured, ALSO ESTEYS COTTAGE ORGANS, WITH THE VOX JUBILANT VOX HUMANA THE NE PLUS ULTRA OF REED ORGANS, universally acknowledged to be the BEST Organ made for Sunday Schools, ihurches, Parlors and Lodge., Having more power, with a sweeter tone, than any other Organ in the market notwithstanding the representations of agents interested in the sale of other Organs, we do•fully warrant every Orga « for the period of five years, (at our own e.rpenee.)
