.11-ORRIBLI AccrDEbrr.—At 11 o'clock on Friday
evening the train of ears going west, on the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad, ran over a man named
Whitaker, at a point near the Wire Bridge, and
completely severed his head from his body. His
remains were removed to the station-house, where
the coroner was notified to attend.
A MODERATE THIEF.—On Saturday night some
fellow got into the back yard of Mr. Reel's groce
ry. corner of State and Third streets, opened a
barrel of flour, and took therefrom about twenty
five cents worth ! Whether the thief was disturbed
before he filled his bag, whether the bag held
DO more, or whether he just stole enough to keep
himself from starving, are questions hard to solve.
11.0.nr TBans.—The season of the year is now
approaching when those who wish to set out sbado
or fruit trees should make arrangements to having
it attended to. There is no more economical way
of beautifying one'opremlocs—and we w also say
of adding value to them—than by planting trees
that afford pleasant shade or yield fine fruit.
Iturmmuu.—Mr. E. S. C. Slhmidt, to whom we re

in Easton while laboring under partial derange
ment of mind, returned to Easton, and was taken
home by Mr. C. Yard. His friends are, of course,
greatly rejoiced at his return. He has been in
Philadelphia since his departure.
OtzeGrtgous.—The fat contributor to P anay Pair
writes :
"Mecca has its jokes ; the following is one of
them : Some of the oil territory is held at enor
mous rates. A man from Cleveland, who had been
looking fora spot to sink a well in, returned to
the hotel after a day's search, and was asked, what
luck? He replied that he found one first-rate spot,
b u t the land-holder held it rather high. 'He wants
all the oil, two hundred dollars bonus, and ' , wires
that I shall paint both heads of the barrels. I told
Mat I would paint one head, but I would be hanged
in would agree to paint both."
Tam Itivan.—The warm weather of the last few
days has melted the snow and ice in the mountain
gorges, and 'the natural consequence is that the
river has been rising gradually since Saturday
night. It is now about at a stand, and likely to
continue so for some time to come. We may
litorofore look for lumber rafts and arks in a few
days.
On Sunday and Monday large numbers of dunks
and wild geese were seen on the river above the
city.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. Adam Otto, a highly re
spectable citizen of Jackson township, Northum
berland county, was killed on the railroad, at the
Trevorton junction, on Wednesday last. Mr. Otto
was in Sunbury, and got into the care to go home
in the 10 o'clock train. He got off at the Trevor
ton station, and, after the passenger train left, be
got on the Trevorton Bidding to go home. A train
was backing down at the time, and he being deaf,
was unconscious of the approach of the cars. The
men on the train tried to draw his attention by
throwing stones and calling him, but before they
could stop the train, it ran over him, mangling and
tearing him in such a matifidt that he died within
an hour.
AN ALARKING TIIEOPX.—Tige sudden appearance
of oil in such-immense quantities in those regions
in which it could not have existed but a short
time, has given rise to numerous theories respect
ing its origin. Among the last and most feasible
of these is the one advanced by the Pittsburg Ga
ntie, in its issue of the 20th ult. It says;
The internal fires of the earth, known to exist,
are making their way to the surface where, in ac
cordance with the prophecy—"the elements are
to melt with fervent beat." The caloric from these
subterranean fires has just reached the coal strata,
and oil, which forms the igneous portion of that
earboeatie compound, is driven from it, and
forced by superinctunbent pressure to occupy fis
sures, and the softer formations of the earth below,
icrtil relieved by apertures from the surface.m-2
Those living in the coal regions are nearest Hades,
and, of course, find the oil first.
NEW tlonwr Muss Butt..—The eomminsionera
have removed the steel bell from the cupola of the
Court .1191188 and placed in it one -of those manu
factured by Meneely Bee., of Troy, N. Y. It
was rung at intervals on Friday and Saturday,
and there was but one opinion as to its merits. A
steel bell is vary nice in its way, and much cheaper
than bells made of the ordinary bell metal; but,
after all y when yon want the clear, melodious, so-.
morons ring, you must fall back upon the fusion of
metals that were made into bells nearly coeval
with the first building of cities. Experiments of
a thougand years have failed to produce anything
better, awl it is doubtful whether any marked im
provement will be made between this and " the
last syllable of recorded time
We have not learned the cost of the present bell—
neither have we learned how the commissioners
will shirk their contract with Mr. Gilbert for the
purchase of the steel be 11.
APPLICATION OP CHLOROFORM IN NEURALGIA.—
The Edinburgh _Medical Journal contains an ac
count, by Dr. Little, of his successful mode of ap
plying chloroform in neuralgia, /to. Dr. L's mode
of application is, to take a piece of lint a little
less in size than the watch-glass to be used—which
need not he more than two inches in diameter--
putting it on the hollow side of the glass, pour on
it a few drops of choloform sufficient to saturate
it, and then applying it at once to the part affected,
keeping the edges of the glass closely applied to'
the skin, by covering it with the hand, for the pur
pose of keeping it in position, as well as of assist
ing the evaporation of the chloroform. This done
from five to ten minutes, according to the amount
of irritation wished for. The patient during this
time will complain of a burning sensation—not so
severe as that produced by a mustard sinapism—
which reaches its height in five minutes, and then
abates, but d oes Rot entirely disappear for more
than ten minutes. To insure the fall operation of
the remedy, it is necessary that the watch: glass be
rather Concave, that it be closely applied to tht;
skin, and that the hand applied over it be'seneibli
warm. The ill/Mediate effect of the appliestiOn is
to remove all local pain in neuralgia.
Gas, AND WHAT IS IT?—The New York Adver
titter says that several of the best chemists of that
city are now engaged in making extensive experi
ments with coal gas and other illuminating sub
stances. •
Coal gas was first made by Dr. Clayton, an En
glishman, in 1739, but was not used for illumina
ting purposes until about the year 1800, when it
was first employed in London manufactories. The
chief constituents of gas are hydrogen and car
bon, and according as it is made from whale or
other animal oils, or from mineral oil, coal, rosin,
or wood, it is found combined with sulphureted
hydrogen, carbonic acid, bi-sulpheret of carbon,
ammonia, asphaltum, "coal tar, pyroligneous acid
and other matters.
The illuminating power of gas depends upon the
amount of carbon that it contains, and conse
quently the better gas is that which contains most
carbon, with hydrogen to aid its combustion, and
is more free from other ingredients which injure
the brilliancy of its flame and generate noisome
smells.
To purify gas, its manufacturers use limo and
the oxides of iron and manganese, and the cost of
its production depends upon the price of coal or
other substances to be distilled, the direct expense
of apparatus and labor, the value of the residium
after distillation, or of the Matters separated from
the gas by chemical analysis, the expense of sup
plying gas to consumers, and the loss by leakage.
Consumers of gas, in addition to these points, are
specially interested in the modes by which the
amount of gas used is determined, the proportion
of carbon in the gas furnished, and the amount of
carbon escaping without combustion. A ton of
gas coal will yield nine or ten thousand feet of
gas, containing carbon sufficient to make a flame
equal to fifteen candles of six to the pound, when
it is burning five feet to the hour.
The less carbon is supplied, so much less will
be the proportionate value of the gas, but so much
greater the amount. In California, gas has been
sold at $lO, and is now $9 per:thousand cubic feet.
In second class towns throughout the United States
and Canada it is supplied M $3, $4 or $5 per thou
sand cubic feet, and in New York at $2.50 per
thousand cubic feet—the quality being, however,
so widely different as to afford small basis for com
parison. The gas produced from a ton of coat may
thus be supposed to bring the company between
$2O and $5O, but there is a wide margin both of
profit and loss that this calculation does not in
clude.
The proportionate expense of labor and appa
ratus is much greater in small than in extensive
gas works. In some works, the coal tar, asphal
tum, ammonia and other matters separated from
the gas have already become a source of considera
ble revenue, and chemical science is now directed
to the discovery of new modes of rendering them
valuable. The expense of mains and other pipes
to supply gas is a heavy tax, and the leakage is
stated to be equivalent to 22 per cent. of the whole
amount of gas produced,
The joints where sections of mains come to
gether are caulked with hemp and lead. The gas
dries the hemp, which shrinks, and heat and cold
alternately expand and contract the iron much
more than the lead, and consequently in a very
short time the seams are widely opened and an
immense amount of leakage ensues. In Liverpool
the sections of the mains are lathe-turned to fit
into each other, like the ground stoppers of glass
bottles, so as to be perfectly air-tight, and conse
quently the loss by leakage is only II per cent.
TEN YEARS' IMPRISONMENT IN THE DUNGEONS OF
br,ipbas,--English journals notice the newly pub
lished narrative of Antonio Nicole, one of the
sixty political prisoners from the horrid dungeons
of the late King of Naples, who were enabled a
year and a half ago, by the dexterity and boldness
of the young sailor Settembrini, to alter the course
of the vessel appointed for their transportation
beyond the Atlantic, and to seek the protecting
hospitality of Great Britain. Nfeolo was concerned
in a revolt of the National Guard in Reggio :
"Defeated and dispersed by General Nunziante's
army, they fled to hide themselves in every house
or hole where desperate lives could find shelter all
over the country side. Wandering from one friend's
dwelling to another% and encountering some ro
mantic adventures, the author of this little book
contrived to escape being arrested until Septem
ber, 1850, when he voluntarily surrendered, that
his family might be relieved from the incessant
persecutions to which they were aabjectod to com
pel them to confess where he was. He was con
demned to nineteen years imprisonment with
chains, reduced afterwards to thirteen years.—
Linked in the dreadful irons with a savage mur
derer, crammed with sixty or seventy other persons,
many of the vilest criminals, into afilthy chamber
of the Bagno at Nisida, amidst stench and smoke,
and beastial neglect—then removed to the subter
ranean cells of Procida, where the stone pavement,
twenty yards below the level of the soil, is almost
hidden under a coating of humid filth, the slimy
wails emit a horrid stench, and fetid green water
drips from the ceiling—constantly kept fettered
day and night, scarcely fed, and sleeping on dirty
straw or rage infected with the most loathsome
vermin—liable to be cruelly beaten by the servants
of the gaol for the smallest offence, and insulted or
abused in every way by the licensed ruffianism of
his eempanions—this unhappy Italian gentleman,
as well as Baron Poerio and signor Settembrjni,
passee through several years of an existence as
painful to men of their constitution and previous
habits as we can easily conceive. It was the fate
of some hundreds beside them, as we perfectly well
know. Latterly they were beset with menaces and
importunities to make each of them Sign a confes
sion and apology addressed to Ferdinand 11, the
Jesuit Father Vigilante prescribing this form—
'that being seduced by the enemies of the throne,
he was led to offend against the most righteous of
monarchs, but that he is now penitent and im
plores his Majesty's clemency.' This was after the
Piedmontese and English denunciations had made
the King's atrocious and notorious misgovernment
a scandal to all the world, so that he was anxions
to diminish the number of political prisoners,_whom
our own correspondent at Naples contrive d now
and thin to count. The scheme of shipping them
off to a condition of little better than slavery in
the wilderness of South America, which Ferdinand
latterly entertained, was suggested by the • same
motive to afford him an answer to our diplomatic
remonstrances."
TRH PATENT OFFICE.-•The management of the
United States Patent Office has, within the last
few years, been very greatly improved, and its
usefulness enlarged. Its annual mechanical re
ports are very valuable records of the many useful
inventions for which the United States bas be
come famous. Of its agricultural buieau too much
cannot be said in commendation. Its distribution
of seeds, in immense variety, though necessarily in
small quantities, gives an annual impetus to agri
cultural enterprise, and gives to hundreds, we
might say thousands, pf small farmers and garden
ers, an opportunity they could not otherwise have
of testing the adaptation of the various kinds of
fruits, cereals and vegetables, to the land they oc
cupy and till. The value of this to the community
at large cannot be overestimated. Besides thiii
the plan adopted by the Patent Office gathers from
other countries the choicest of their seeds, adding
to the number and variety, and often very largely
improving the quality of our own staple crops. In
this branch of the Patent office there also appeared
to be very judicious management. The seeds
adapted to each latitade are well discriminated,
and the time for their distribution is always well
chosen. Those adapted for the Southern States
have already been distributed, for the good reason
that their season is the earliest, and the distribu
tion for the North and West is just aboUt teratitett
eing. The report of this branch of the office is
this year of more than ordinary interest, and is
full of instruction.

PROF. WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE
READ WHAT A DISTINGUISHED PHYSICIAN
OF ST. LOUIS SAYS OF IT.
WoOD, Esq.: Dear Sir—Allow me the pleasure
and satisfaction to transmit to you the beneficial effects
of your Hair Restorative after a trial of five years. I
commenced using your Restorative in January, 1955,
since which time I have not been without a bottle on
hand. When I commenced the use, my hair was quite
thin, and at least one-third gray. A few applications
stopped its falling, and in three weeks time there was
not a gray hair to be found, ru ither has there been up to
this time.
After my hair was completely restored, I continued its
use by applying two or three times per month, My hair
has ever continued healthy, soft and glossy, and my scalp
perfectly free from dandruff. I do not imagine the facts
above mentioned will be of any particular advantage to
you, or even flatter your - vanity at this late day, as I am
well aware they are all well known already, and even
more wonderful ones throughout the Union. I have oc
cupied my time in traveling the greater part of the time
the past three years, and have taken pride and pleasure
in recommending your Restorative and exhibiting its
effects in my own case. In several instances I have met
with people that have pronounced it a humbug ; saying
they had used it, and without effect. In every instance,
however, it proved by probing the matter, that they had
not used the article at all, but had used some new arti
cle, said to be as good as yours, and Belling at about half
the price. I have noticed two or three articles myself
advertised as above, which I have no doubt are humbugs.
It is astonishing that people will patronize an article of
no reputation, when there is and ad hand that has been
proved beyond a doubt.
Apparently, some of those charlatans havenot brains
enough to write an advertisement, as I notice they have
copied yours, word for word in several instances, merely
inserting some other name in place of yours.
I have, within the past five years, seen and talked with
more than two thousand persons that have used your
preparation with perfect success—some for baldness,
gray hair, scald head t dandruff, and every disease the
scalp and head are subject to.
I called to see you, personally, at your original place
of business here, but learned you were now living in New
York,
You are at liberty to publish this or to refer parties to
me. Any communication addressed to me, care box
1920, will be promptly answered. Yours truly,
JAMES WHITE, M. D,
Warren Springs, Perry Co., Pt. .Tune 7th, 1850.
PROF. WOOD : Dear Sir—l was induced more than a
year ago to try your valuable Hair Bet:iterative, for the
purpose of cleansing my head of dandruff. I had suf
fered with it upon my head for years, and had never been
able to get anything
_to
.do me any good in removing it,
although I had tried many preparations, until I saw
your advertisement in a Harrisburg papet. 'Mug there
at the time, I. called at arose & Ross's Drug Store
and bought a bottle, and now unprepared to recommend
it to universal use, for it has completely removed all dand
ruff from my head, and an application once in two weeks
keeps it free from any itching or other unpleasantness.—
I must also state that my hair had become quite white
in places, and, by the use of your preparation, has been
restored to its original color. I sin now BO years of age,
and although I have used two bottles of the Restora
tive, no one has any knowledge of it, as I allow a few
gray hairs to remain in order to have my appearance
comport with my age. My head is now of less trouble
to me, in keeping it clean, &c., than at any time since
I have been a child. I consider your preparation° fgreat
value, and although I do not like to expose myself, I
Consider it my duty to say so. You can use this, or any
part of it, in any shape you think proper, if it is worth
anything to you. Yours, &c.,
H. H. ETTER.
Bloomington, Ind., July 80th, 1859.
Tsar Sir :—I here send you a statement that I think
yeu are entitled to the benefit of. I
. sin a resident of
Bloomington and have been for over thirtyyears. lam
now over 50 years of age. For aboat twenty years past
my hair has been turning considerably gray, and was
almost entirely white, and very atilt aR4I unpuant.
had seen a number of certificates of the very wonderful
effect of your Hair Restorative, but supposed there was
more fiction than truth in them; but entertaining a
strong desire to have my hair, if possible, restored to its
original color and fineness, as it was in my younger days
a beautiful black, I concluded I would make the experi
ment, commencing in a small way. I purchased one of
your small bottles, at one dollar, and commenced using,
following directions as nearly as I could. I soon disenv
ered the dandruff removed, and my hair, that was fall
ing off in large quantities, was considerably tightened,
and a radical change taking place in the color. I have
continued to use it till I have used three of your mall
bottles, and just begun on the fourth. I have now as
pretty a head of dark brown, or light black hair, as any
man, or as I had in my youthful days when a boy in tte
hills; of Western Virginia. My head is entirely clear of
dandruff, and the hair ceased entirely falling off, and is
as soft and fine, and feels as oily, as though it was just
from under the hands of a French shampooer. Many
of my acquaintances frequently say to me, "Butler, where
did you get that fine wig ?" I tell them it was the ef
fects of your Restorative. It is almost impossible to
convince them that it is the original hair of the same
old gray head. Yours, truly,
FREDERICK T. BUTLER,
Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana.
PROF. WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE.—In another col
umn will be found an advertisement of this well-known
and excellent preparation far restoring gray hair to its
original color. The Hair Restorative also cures cuta-
neous eruptions, and prevents the hair falling off. We
have seen many authentic testimonials in proof of these
assertions, some of which aro from gentlemen whom we
have known for many years as persons of the most re
liable character. Don't dye till you have tried this Re
storative.—Boston Olive Branch.
WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE.—We are not in the habit
of puffing every new discovery, for nine cases of ten
they are quack nostrums, but we take great pleasure in
recommending rrofessor Wood's arti etc to all whose hair
is fulling off, or turning gray. Our well-known contri
butor, Finley Johnson, Esq., has experienced the bene
fits of its application, audjoins with us in speaking of its
virtues. Let all try it, and bald heads will be as rare as
snow in Summer.—Dalamore Patriot.
WOOD'S HAM RESTORATITH —Unlike most specifics,
this h proved, by unimpeachable evidence, to posseSS
great efficacy as a restorer of the hair to its pristine
vigor. Where the head had become almost bald because
of sickness, the use of this article has produced a beau
tiful growth of thick, glossy hair. It is therefore a val
uable preparation for all classed. Its ingredients are
such as to effectually eradicate dandruff and other im
purities, which operate so injuriously to the hair. It
also has curative properties of another descripti . n In
many eases pimples soil other disfigurements of the skin
disappear wherever it is used. There is no hazard at
taching to the trial of this remedy, and its effects can
only be beneficial, as the compound, if it does not cause
a manifest improvement, is incapable of doing harm, as
its component elements are perfectly intlOXlollll.—Bos
tom Transcript, Aprtl22,

ails of the day, each of which claims to be unadultera
ted in its composition and infallible in its curative ef
fects—with what justice we leave our readers to deter
mine. Ia one instance, however—Prof. Wood's flair
Restorative—we are so well assured of the notable
qualities of the article that we give it our endorsement
as all that its inventor and vender claims it to be. Its
effect upon a falling head of hair is universally known to
be magical; like lime Or guano on exhausted land, it
brings its crop wherever applied. Our own thatch- ie.
fortunately healthy, but we advise our friends with
sparsely growing hair to trythe Restorative.—Columbia
Si5V.
QUACK NOSTRUM --The majority of hair washes, hair
dyes, hair tonics, hair oils, and the nuinberlessprepara
tions which are now before the public antler such ex
travagant, hyperbolical and fantastic titles as We see
paraded in show windows and newspaper 'headings, as
hair preparations, are all humbugs of the first water;
their real merit, when they possess any, is, that they do
no harm_ Hog's lard, whale oil, lard oil, sweet oil,
scented and colored, make up, when in beautiful wrap_
pers, and white flint glass bottles, theeostliest character
of tonics and when thus costly, are baptised with some'
tri.syllable term, and caught at by verdant young• end
old of both sexes. Such is not the; character Of Prof.
Wood's Hair Restorative. This gentleman comes before
the world without any “highfalutin" Xilophloforium or
any other astounding and startling catch-penny term; he
simply advertises a Hair Restorative--what it expresses,
precisely—and as a Restorative it acts. Buy Professor
Wood's Hair Restorative, and as you value your scalp,
aye, your very brains; apply nothing else ; for it maybe
that you will get some worse sabetance than perfumed
lard oil on yont cranium. Remember, Wood's Restora.
tive for the Hair is the best article extant.—New York
