as these invention have been to us, they - seen: to
be but a commencement, and destined to be thrown
far- in the rear by more- important and - perfectly
astonishing disceverici.
Mr. Paine of Wore:ester, Mass., has invented an
apparatus tor - producing hydrogen gas by. the
en:imposition of water, converting the_Wtoile of the
Witter into hydrogen, without the predection of
any ?wen whatever, by, the means of electricity.
This gas; by being passed through the spirits of
turpentine ; in the precess, is capable ofqiroducing
a strong ; audtbiiiliant light The apparatus is sim

so that litany of our most scientific men are incred-

beg. Bit its snocessful operation; witnessed by
Men of the first respectability. seems to place the
invention beyond the reach of contradiction. - Say
etalgentlemen from Bo; - ton and Springfield - recent;
ly had a view, of the whole maV.hinery, while in Op : .
eration, and had the privilege of operating it them
selves. They gave it a critical examination. They
were "perfectly satisfied that the water Was de
coraptied by the electvicity„froin the magnetic Wm
chine and nowhere else 7 to deny this," they odd,
"we must deny the evidence of our own senses."--
There were - two Co - as:non horse:shoe magnets; and
between 'the ends of these. a pair of helices Eb pe
culiarly constructed as to increase the power of the
Magetoßlectrie Machine indefinitely. - Prom these'
magnets passed two copper years--one

We must. inform our readers briefly how this was
brought about. 'The Whigs being in the minority in
joint ballot could not of course elect a man, though
they .uuauknouslY tendered n nomination_ to Gov.
Johnston, a cOmpliment eminently deserved, but.
which he declined in a letter repeat
jag his pledge not to desert the post -the Whigs of
thit; State had Placed him in - fctr -- any - oth2r.
Loco members held along caucus, and after," 12
ballotingn, in 'which Judges Wciodward and Black
Were most prominent", Brodhedd waifinally porn
inntod by 34 votes to 2-1 for Judge Woodward, 4
for Black, and . 5' for Planter.- Many thought he
could not bo elected, but on. Tuesday the members
of the party swallowed him by giving him their_en
bre vote on first ballot. The Whigs, after' Gov.
Johnston declined, - Made •no cominatton, and gave
a scattering vote. i
The Daily News, in commenting upon the'selec•
tion of Brodhead, says : "Ho is; se far as regards
capacity, as inferior to-Judge Woodward or Judge
Black „as is Tom Thumb to:Daniel Webste The
same paper thus explains how it was brought about:

follows.. .
I ; •
Wherein', the inhabitanta of Susquehanna county
have built one Court House and Jail eti Miintrese,
,whereby the nidzeits ;lir said village `have been
largely benefitted; nod now, when there is great
nee of now buildings, the said citizens are anxious
ly striving to have them rebuilt at the 'expense of
th'e tax-peyers of ;tIM minty ; mu! believing as we
do, and as we know, that - n Milford is is more
central '
.point than-Montrose, and that g,vid and
commotheus,buildings, suitable forenuntv ruirposes.
can be erected by the citizens of New Milford free
Of expense to the tea payers of the county which
If built ht Montrose taunt be done by a general tax,
therefOre * - .
Reso/ied, that' we are in favor of the;reineval;
..that 'We meet for that purpose,mot_ only here, but
recommend the citizens' nt every toweship, who
inel the same interest, to hold meeting and petit
•tion fir" the like purpose; that, equality, justice,
and right demand it. . • .
- Resolved, that tue greater, part of The 'eastern
portion bf the county have had to travel, for thirty
tire years from eighteen to thirty-six miles to at
tend to business.of the county and their ctwn legal
business. and now having be - ceme, by- influence of
internal improvements. of 'numerous rnanuthettirics
tke., (as we believe) the targest-tax-payers, we feel
it right to claim, and expect; if justice be dune us,
removal. •
'Resolved,: that the taxable inhabitants, of the
eastern portion of the county not ouly pay the lar
gest portion of the: county taxes, but at the same
time their growth in population and busitie;ii in;
terdsti, in our belief, by far exceeds that (lithe
weskrn. part ; and. as a principle of ecenomy for
those', nttending Court, we belleveVewlMilford is
the utast eligible point-at this time ; and as tate
tura, choice in lorattan, no better place can ho se
lected. •
.
•Resalved, that we are impelled to thiS course of
action by' the evident jealousy on the part of tho.
inhabitants of blontrofee and vicinity' in :respect_ to
the present prosperity and prosper eve increase of
i l
population in, the entiem part of the county; as
manifested by their indefatigable 'o psit(on: to 'any
and all internal improvement projects ealeulatid
- to - proinots our oWn interest.. ' ' ' . '
Resolved, that' the interests of the east suggest
the propriety of speedy and energetii action ..by
the,citizens of the several townships foiorable to
the proposed 'removal ; and that - we reininmend
the early call of meesings therein, and the adop;
thm of measures fin the general circulation of pe
titions, to the Legislature praying for the necessa-'
rrenaciteents for the accomplishment of Our . ob
.
- • ..

. Resolved, that ,Tolm,Brivlo.,E. A. Pratt, ;tad Urn;
ham' C. Ward, th'i a. general Committee of ,Corres
pondeuce, to' whinn may, be directed till sigatures
to petitions for removal,who are rcquestedi to hold
themselies in readifiesS to report at any future :
meeting their actual numbers and the int:nide-of the
townships whence they come; 'and further, that
said Conunittee be desired to appoint Sub-Commit
' 1 tees in the several•townships,solicitiow their'aid in

'Resaved, that'llie proposed_

only on condition that'the eitiiens of New' MilfOril
will suhable Anil - appropriate County build- .

.
..Resolved, than thegencral corinnittee l be;desired
to procure the printing of the necessary petitions,
and effect their speedy and thorough circalition.
Resofred, that Iriving noticed a call for'ss meet
