The glass eye trade of the United States is in the hands of one firm; and bat few people have any idea of the immensity of their business. There is in the United States a deficit ot some 60,000 eyes. Of this number about J5,000 make use of glass-eyes. To supply these over one hundred speci mens of optics are manufactured. Some rich, aristocrutio old gentlemen have their eyes made to order. 'Because." The Oil City Derrick ays rt. should celebrate Thanksgiving because we have not got ten cent oil; because we have not all been sold out by the sheriff; because the dull times can not last always; because the old thater has been removed because the barrel works didnot burn up; because we have paved streets, and water works, and and city taxes because a barrel of flour will buy a vote; because Ben Butler was defeated.

Good Air The following simple method for ventilating ordinary sleeping and dwelling rooms is recomended by Mr. Ilinton in his "Physiology for Practical Use:" "Piece of wood, three inches high and as long as the breadth of tho window is to be prepared Let the sish be now raised the slip of wood placed on tho sill, and the sash drawn closely upon it If the slip has been well fitted, there will be no draugh in consequences of this displacement of the sash at its lower part; but tho top of the lower sash will overlap the bottom ot the upper one, and between tho two bars perpendicular currcuts of air, not felt as draught, will enter and leave the room." National Guard .Notes. Twelve hundred dollars from the inoucy box ot the state will be diburscd to the Erie Guards and Sheridan Guards this month, being the allowance oi four hundred dollars pay aud two hun dred armory reut for each company lor the present year. The other compan ies in the Seventh Division receive the same amount ot pay but get only hi If us much lor rcut, $1(J0 being the limit in cities under fifteen thousaud iuhabitauts. Guard aud North East have recently hud attaots of the military lever aud propose to organize companies, provided the requisite permission can be secured iroai the Adjutant General.

Seventeenth Kegiuieut, of Smethport, McKeau cuunty has been mustered out. The company failed to report at the last annual inspection. E, ic Dispatch. Aileisny Va'ley Railroad. A Driftwood correspondent of the Cameron Press writes as follows in ref erence lu the Peuusylvau'u and Allegh eny Valley railroad: "On the lGih iust , 10'J laborers were discharged out of the 2 i5 employed on tho Eastern Division of llie A V It 11 between Piiftwood aud lleynoldsville, iccludiug one ballast traiu crew, two tract lore- men aud gangs, and una quarry gangs Great exertions have been made this year, since the completion of the road to get the track in good ruaoiug order, a largo number of men being employed on section and gravel trains. Now that the work is completed the force lias boeu reduced more thau halt, throwing a large .uumber of men out of employment. Those remaining woik only nine huun per day at fil'tecu ceuts per hour. "Work has been ccmiuieuced ou the arching of Summit tunnel and i3 being pushed forward as rapid'y as possible working day und night. The roud is now cousidercd one uf the best in the Staie. Its masonary, road-bed, bridges and tract were built without regard to expense being carefully superintended by aule engineers. Its tract consisting cf heaviest iron and new oak tics and ballasted up in such a manner as to compare with any road in the State, and is prepared to accomodate a large num ber of freight traius, when the Penna, &. A. V. 11 11 commence running thoir through freights from the west aud east, over this the lowest grade over the Allegheny mountains. The bridges, tunnels, masunaiy, ic, Lave been built for double track." The Actual Cost of stoves. Persons familiar with the cost of iron castings in general business have often doubtless wondered what there was in stoves over similar fabrics ot iron to make them so expeusive to users of them. Compared to beds, tables, chairs, carpets, aud other articles of prime necessity in household use they are ex orbitantly high. They last no longer than domestic wares generally; and it would seem ouirbt to approximate in price to other utensils. The life of a good stove is from five to ten years, ac cording as it is used, which is no longer than bedsteads, chairs, tables, and other turuiture of (similar oualitv endure. The Iron Moulders' Journal gives some facts as to the cost ot making stoves, which are of general interest, Mr. John S. Perry, of Albany, calculates that a gross ton of iron will make 2,120 pounds of clcau castings; which would furnish seven stoves ot 300 pounds each. He further calculates that the cost of moulding per 100 pounds, is ?1S7J( which would make the work on a stove cost 84 12 for moulding. No. 1 foundry iron was quoted in New York, September 10, at 830 per ton, which at Mr. Perry's figures would make the iron in a S00 pound stove cost $4 23; the net cost for the stove in question being $8 40. Such stoves are sold by dealers without any furniture or fictures at $28 and $33 according to finish. N'EWtsPAFEa Kt. porters. In a re cent lecture Mark Twain gets off the following: "I reported on a morning newspaper three vents, and it was pretty hard work. But I enjoyed its attrac tions. Reporting is the best school in the world to get a knowledge of human beings, human nature and human ways. A nice, gentlemanly reporter I make no rcfercuce is well treated by every, body. Just think of tho wide range of acquaintanceship, his experience of life and society! No other occupation brings a man into such familiar, social relations with all grades and classes of people Tho last thing at night midnight he goes browsing out after items among the police aod jail birds, in tho lock-up questioning the prisoners, and making lasting friendship with si me of the worst people in the world. And the very ucxt evening ho gets himself up regardless of expeuse puts on all the clothes his friends have got, goes and takes dioucr with tho Goveruor, or the comiuandcr-in-chiet of the district, the United States Senator, and some more of the uppercrusl of society. lie is on good terms with all of them, und is pie sent at every public gathering, and has easy access to every variety of people. V by, I breakfasted almost eteiy inoiu- ing with the Governor, dined with the principal clergyman, and slept iu the station-house. A reporter bus to lie a little ol course, or they discharge htm. That if the ouly drawback to the profes sion. This is whv I left it. I am dif ferent, from Washington. I have a hi-htr and grander standard of princi pal. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but then it is distiessing to have to lie so. Lying is lad lying is very bad Every individual kuows that by experi ence. I think that. tor a man to tell a lie when be can't make anything by it, it is wrong."

A subunran ean fire is raging in the portion ol this city known as Heron ellill, which threatens serious consequences to about 500 acres of improved property. In digging out lor ihirty-third street oeainst the bank somo three or lour months ago, the workmen discovered a strata of tho coal which is so plenty in this oity. In order to warm coflee for their lunches they discovered this to be just the place, and accordingly lit fires at the mouth. Gradually this slight blaze has developed itself till now it is a perfect volcano, whose ominous roar ing can easily be heard by persons traveling over the surface. No efforts have been made to extinguish this blaze and now it is spreading fearfully fast, endangering life and property, llerou's Hill is the highest point in Allegheny county, and ou its summit is located one of our water-reservoirs, which hos been erected. Water was recently put in it, but it leaked out. Lately, however, it was fuuud that the water tlid not pass out altogether from lvuks, but that a poitmn has evaporated in steam, caused by the immense) fire raging below. There is danger of this work caving in, and, should it go, the flames will receive additional dtanght, and thus he the harder to suhdue. and have a tendency of spreading the lire sti'l further. The ullnuate result ol this subterranean fire eun hardlv bo told at present. Millions ol improved property lie on tho hill and in close proximity to these burning mines, and, shtuild any settling of earth occur at any point, the result would be most disastrous. Efforts will be made to conquer the flames by sapping and uuiiiiig, but it will take months, and prehaps years, to extinguish this mass of burning coal, much ol which is burning hundreds nf feet below the mrtace. Charles and Mary Pithcr, charged with adducting two Swiss girls for im moral purposes, altera trial lasting four lays were found guilty the other day in New York cilv and sentenced to seven aud live years iu the State Prison.
