In What is claimed to be the molt deli
cate pair of scales in the world, according
to the account given in tip scientific pa
pers, the beard is Made of rye straw, and
together with the pans, which are m ade of
aluminum, weighs only fifteen grains. In
the most delieate scale hmtofore made the
beam and pan weigh sixty-eight grains—
the beam - being made. Of. aluminum—and
the instrument was kapable of weighing to
the one-thousandth of a grain. This new
scale, however, weighs to the one ten-thous
andth of a grain. A. piece of hair, one
inch long, on being weighed with this won
derful apparatus, was found to ,represent
the almost inflnitesimal..quantitr of One
thousandth of a grain. These scales were
constructed to weigh the brain of a fash
ionable young,nuin of Waverly, but have
been condemned as not being delicate
enough. .
Says the Rummerfield correspondent of
the Leßaysville Adfertiser, writing under
date of ' the Ilth-instant: "The Elmira
Advertiser and Tosearida Journed have both
published articles to the effect, , that the
passengers on the late ill-fated train at this
station was refused accommodations and
breakfast at the Landinesser Rotel. This
is untrue, as, Mr. L., threw °pea his hotel,
built fires in the different rooms, ,and Node
all as comfortable as it was possible th do
under the circumstances. It wria'said that
he Wits not g)repared to feed them all,
,but
would do the beit he could. A few went
to Mr. Bostwick's for breakfast, and from
that the - story Started as above related.
The report is without foundatiod in truth,
and is designed to injure the hotel and land
lord. The faCts_as here related &in be pro
ven, by the citizen's here. The landlord did
more, he went to his neighbor's and pro
cured milk and other necessities for the se
wn-in:iodation and comfort of the seventy
nine passengers who were cared for at his
house. In justice to Mr. Landmesser, the
same papers which published the ,untruth
ful statement, should just as willingly pub
lish this correction."

doubled ; and it crowds less
now than at any time before:
works more smoothly; gives
more general satisfaction ;
and suffersgewer Mishaps.
It is growing faster than
ever; and with every' appear
ance of_ a healthy growth.
[Because people find - so
much advantage in tiading

has taken ins o many Chest
