Mr. Frederic?: Boulcn, of Allentown, says
the Democrat, has invented a new lock, which,
for safety excels anything of the kind now in
use, and is destined to supercede all others
for stores, banks, &.c, as well as private
dwellings. It is a double spring door lock,
with an alarm attached, which makes a re
port as loud as an ordinary pistol. It is so
constructed that by turning the key once, the
bolt moves a sufficient distance to lock the
door which answers all purposes for the day
time. Turning the key again, a spring is
touched somewhat similar, to the spring of a
pistol-cock, which communicates with a small
barrel at the rear of the lock, and by means
of its mechanism, when properly loaded, is
said to make a noise loud enough to be heard
three -squares off. A more effectual bar to
tbeives and burglars could not well be de
vised, ln cities or towns, where there is a
uight-watchman in almost every square, it
seems to ua the use of this lock would con
duce greatly lo public and private safely, and
that burglary and night-theiving would be
almost entirely unknown. We understand
that the inventor has filed his caveat for a

The Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincin

declared its courses of lectures free from all
charge for professor's tickets, retaining only
the small incidental fees for matriculating and
dissecting to defray the expenses of the col

school. The next session of the Institute
commences on th Tst of March, and lasts
four months.
(ftj" The Philadelphia Inquirer has been as
sured by p gentleman who reccently return

merican coin are imported in France from

process, a considerable portion of gold is ex
tracted, while the value of the silver is not
impaired. Indeed, it is said that quite an ex
tensive business is carried on in this way.
The process is a peculiar one, and known on

Remarkable Discovery in Virginia. A
letters in the Richmond Times state that a
few days ago, while several men were enga
ged in blasting out limestone near Buchanan,
Bottecourt county, they discovered a cave,
with an entrance of some six or eight feet in
height, and upwards of one hundred long,
with two apartments. In the first they found
some earthen ware and a large stone cross ;
on the cross there was some carving, but it
was so much defaced by the hand of time that
it was scarcely discernablc. A number of
citizens, with a lantern, subsequently entered
the second apartment, where they found a
skeleton seated on a huge iron chest, with its
back resting against the wall. On opening
this chest, they found it to contain gold coin, ,
perfectly smooth on one side, and a cros;;, with ,
some characters on it, on the other. The 1
gold in the chest by weight was worth seven ,
hundred and eighty-three dollars. j

A man named Davidson was killed last '

The parties fell into a quarrel, and Davidson

obeyed, and upon entering the room and see
