Tho Paris Figaro gives tho following method of obtaining light instantaneously, without tho use of matches and without danger of setting things on fire : Take an oblong vial of tho whitest and , clearest glass, put into it a piece of phosphorus about the sizo ot a pea, upon which pour some olive oil, heated to tho boiling point, filling tho vial about one-third full, and then seal the vial hermetically. To uso it remove tho cork and allow tho air to enter tho vial, and then recork it. The wholo empty space in the bottle will then become luminous, and the light obtained will equal that of a lamp. As soon as tho light grows weak, it power can bo increased by opening tho vial and allowing a fresh sup ply of air to enter. In winter it is some times necessary to heat the vial between the hands to increase the fluidity of the oil Thus prepared the vial may be used for six months. This contrivance is now used by the watchmen of Paris in all magazines where explosive or inflammablo materials are stored. Murder by a Woman. At Utica New York, on tho 17th Inst., Milton H. Thompson, was shot through the nose and check, and II. II. Hall, coal dealer, of Ogdensburg, was shot in tho heart and instantly killed, by a woman giving the name of McCarty, from Albany, The woman got in the car somewhere near tho head of Ocnesee street. Thompson, and Hall, who1 was a relative of Thomp son's got on the car at Thompson's resl dence. Some words passed between Mrs, McCarty and 1 liompson, when the woman drew a revolver and shot at him. The ball passed thiough Thompson's faoo and struck Hall in the heart. The latter jumped from his seat and fell dead on the bottom of the car. Thompson's wound is not considered dangerous. The woman hi under arrest Lfgcud ef a Diamond. The great diamond, weighing 154 carats which has been found at the cape, in Afri co, aud is now on its way to England, Is already furnished with its legend. It is said to have been found In the wall of one of the native huts, where a poor Irish adventurer had received hospitality for tho night, and that being surprised at the light shining amid tho darkness he hud upon examination found It to proceed from a clump of earth of which the wall was built. Of course the clump was soon detached by tho visitor, and this now Koh-i-noor, with many other smaller diamonds, found within.

Murray, Supreme Court of New York Brntnl Treatment of a Child. A shock lug caso of brutality has come to light at Adrian, Michigan. ,, It appears that Mrs, Louisa Lossing, who had in charge her niece, a little girl named Emma Lossing,. beat the child in a horrible manner because the child could not eat fast enough at the table to please her aunt. . In her testimony before tho justice of the peace the, child says: " On Monday of last week I got up and my aunt was real cross; she scolded be cause I did not eat breakfast faster; I was ating as fast as I could; sho said she would feed me if I did not eat faster; as soon as Uncle William luft she commenced feeding mo, taking a large piece of bread and fore ng it into my mouth; I chswed as fast as I could, and sho said she would whip me if I did not cat faster; I could not cat faster, and she took me into the bedroom, stripped mo and whipped mo with a whip about as big as your finger, from an apple tree, and about a yard long; she struck me about a hundred blows and then said if I would not make any noise she would , stop whipping me; I could not help crying aloud, and then sho choked me; then she whipped me again, and at last, when I could not keep still; sho put a towel into my mouth; she had me in tho bedroom about an hour I should thiuk, and struck mo, I should thiuk about two bundled blows. After she had got through whipping mo I wont back to the table, and sho madu me cat a great deal moro than I wanted; did not want to cat anything; she mado mo cat about enough for four or five meals lit, that one time; I kept asking her to let me stop, and said she would not stop until I had commenced fating fast: tho oaves wore largo loaves of baker's bread, and the slices were thick; she would not let me drink anything." Several witnesses testified as to tho bru tality of the treatment which the girl had received, rind it was shown that in addition to tho horriblo punishment of cramming, red pepper had often been forced into her eyes and mouth. Tho perpetrator of the outrage was scuteuccd to pay a fine of $100 and confinement in the Detroit House of Correction for ninety dnys. TIioho Letters. James FSsk's letters to Josephine Mans field, which wcro used against the former n Stokes' suit, have been published. They contain nothing of public importance, and make no revelations as was expected, in regard to Fisk's relations to tho ring or in Wall street operations. They show Fisk's characteristic good nature as well as weak ness, and how completely he was for a time under tho dominion of Mrs. Mansfield, for whom ho did everything to please and en rich. Most of the love lottcro mention en closures of chocks or money, and all are full of protestations of affection. They Indi cato that Fisk quarreled with Mrs. Mans field, because, she - gave preference to Stokes. Introduction of Linen Industry In Ylr- , giniu. The representative of a large linen man. ufactory in Ireland is now prospecting in Virginia, with a view of establishing an extensive manufactory in our State. The reason for the change Is that the lands in Ireland, so long devoted to the production of flax, have so dutorioated that the fibre is too short for successful and exten, sive manufacture, and tlie object is to place tho machinery and skilled labor employed in close proximity to mora extensive and better supplies of raw material. This Irish gentleman is favorably impressed with many of the advantages which our State presents, and hi strongly prejudiced in fa vor of Lynchburg as tho point for his fu turo operations. Richmond, (Fa.,) Slate Journal. tW A . terrible accident occurred in the Long Island brewery, on Powers street, last week, by which Frank Gilgram, an em ployee in tho establishment, had his head blown to pieces by the explosion of a beer barrel. Gilgram and Michael Quinn wero engaged in cleaning barrels, which was done by filling the vessel with hot water and slaked lime, aud then rolling it about in order to generate the gosses. While they were tlius engaged, a barrel which they wore rolling, exploded with a loud report, and hurling tho fragments in every direction. One of tho pieces struck the bead of Gilgram, severing it from the body, and dashiug it against the beams of the room so violently that it was crushed into a mass of blood, flesh and bone. Quinn was hurled to the distanco of about twen. ty feet, where he laid in an insensible con. dition, but was not seriously injured. - tW The banking house of Kennedy & Co., on Cedar street, N. Y., was robbed last week of $1)3,000 worth of bonds of the Appleton and London Railroad Company, and a promissory noto for $14,000.

We have before us Brtggs & Brother's catalogue of flowers and vegetable seeds for 1872. The outside appearance of the work, with its highly embellished cover nnd tlnt- dgeu leaves would seem to indicate that the book comes before Us for notice from some extensive lithoirraphio ciintine establishment or illustrated monthly print ing house. .Neither guess would be correct. Tho publishers are seedsmen, said to be the most extensivo In the world; who raise and sell flower nnd vegetable seeds, ' sending them in largo or small quantities to all parts of the country. They own no end of gardens and farms, both in and out of Now York State having a 200 acre farm at Clinton, Iowa, devoted expressly to seeds, aud their establishment at Rochester, has upwards of 00,000 foet of flooring, devoted exclusively to packing and shipping seeds. Dut to revert to tho cataiouge before us, wo must say, that It is moro than was iromisert in tho advcrtismont ot tlio arm. ts typography is perfect. Its illustrated plates are models of pictorial beauty. Its contents cmbraco useful hints upon tlio growth and raising of flower and vegetables and are the results of years of practical ex perience. Tho purchaser of a catalogue (an order to Briggs & Brother for one ual lar's worth of seeds, secures it free,) also receives an insight Into what he may ob tain on certain conditions, in the war of one or two chromo lithographs of flower boqucts, representing boquets of choice natural flowers, raised by Briggs& Brother. These chromos are fully equal to the high est priced chromos sold, and are a fit orna ment tor parlor or sitting room. 1 lie cata logue also contains two representative en gravings of tho chromos, and parties order ing only one, which, without an order for seeds, requires nn enclosure of seventy-five cento, can select which they preler. There is no person interested in llowers, house or garden plants, or engaged in the aising ot vegetables er market cereals, Who cannot be benefitted by tho possession of this valuable and illustrated catalogue. An enclosure of twenty-five cents, secures it prepaid, aud the amount in seeds is return ed, if an order follows tho puichaso of a catalogue. Wo might, sav m explanation of tlio issu ing tho work, that Brings tfc Brother have prolonged tho time, in order to further beautify the catalogue with representative engravings of the.lr chromos, us well as to add tho very latest novelties, both import ed and native.
