A Lost Art Restored. Several scientific gentlemen were pres ent recently at a very interesting exhibi tion of a newly discovered process of coloring all mineral substances through the entire mass. Heretofore the art had boen confined simply to surface tints, which, in course of titne, wore off, but by the present system, any white, or neutral colored, or veined marble can be made to receive any known color. The machin ery is exceedingly simple, and the process inexpensive. Houses, churches, and capitols may thus be entirely finished— floors, walls and ceilings—with marble of the most exquisite colors, at no greater expense than is now incurred in fine woods, hard finishing, costly wall paper, fresco, and gilding; and such work once done, it is claimed, will remain beautiful and perfect for generations. Marble thus dyed becomes susceptible of the highest polish, while the coloring matter absorbed in the operation closes the interstices of the stone, and enable, it more effectually to resist the disintegrating action of the elements. Mr. Wendell Phillips, whose elegant treatise on the "Lost Arts" has been so long admired, will have to revise his manuscript in the face of such a dis covery as this. A max is Pontiac, Michigan, has pub lished the following advertisement for an orthographical tournament: HoLLY, Dec, 30, 1868. MR.

A. - mow horrid and sickening murder took place recently on the road near Lou isville, Belmont. county. A young girl by the name of Louisa lox was met on the road near her father's house, and murdered by a former lover named Thos. Carr. After the deed, Carr went in quest of a gun, and returned to the spot of the murder, and shot himself and then cut his throat. He did not succeed in killing himself, though he cannot live. The body of the girl was horribly mangled. THE St. Clairsville Gazette of this week says: The Sheriff on Monday morning last pulled . Carr's (the murderer) bed from the wall,. and found that he had been operating with an iron spoon which had been left in. his room, out of which to take his medicine. He had gouged the mortar from around a large stone in the wall until you could see daylight. He had carefully mixed the mortar in the ashes of the fire-place. He has since been transferred to another cell, and no doubt if he shows any further signs of escape he will be ironed. TILE Portage Democrat Bays: Two turkeys went to roost on the low er rail of a fence in the town of Aurelius, Cayuga county, N. Y., on the evening of December Sth.

Last Saturday night the ladies met at Walbridge's billiard room, and at once commenced knitting. The usual business of the place was of course stopped, until the men present went to smoking furious ly, when the ladles were obliged, after a time, to leave. Granger's saloon was also visited; but here, when themen proposed to smoke, the proprietor refused to fur nish the materials, saying the women were welcome to the use of the saloon if they wanted it.
