Patent Fire-Proof Paiat..
We would call the attention of. our
readers to the advertisement of this.valu-1
able article which may be found in anoth- ;
, . ;
er part of our paper. The following no-
tice of it is copied from a Xew York pa-
j
jvr :
" This L-5 rather a singular, term to use
f. r Paint, one of the most combustible
materials known. But there is such an
article as Fire-Proof Paint. It is made
oat of a kind of chalk, or stone, which is
fiund in Ohio, and prepared by Mr.
Blake, No. 84 Pearl-strcot. We have
made use of it ourselves and can give our
testimony in its favor. It is similar in
appearance to brown cement, and when
put upon the roof of a building runs in a-
won- the shingle, and fills up the crevices
and becomes as bard as a rock. If one
tan imagine a large block of granite or
nd-stone completely dissolved, so as to
become a liquid like mcitod lead, and
when poured over the roof of a building,
taming back again to its proper element,
be can form a pretty correct idea of. i?-rc 5
r'. r Proof Paint."

Boston, January 0. The city was
thrown into great excitement this after
noon by an announcement of a serious
L railroad disaster having occurred near
Andover, to the noon train from this cit',
on the Boston and Maine Railroad. By
the breaking of an axle, the train was
thrown from the track, and one of the
cars filled with passengers went over an
embankment, and falling about twenty
feet, was crushed to atoms upon a pile of
rocks below.
Among the occupants of the car was
General Pierce, his wife, and son, a fine
lad of ten years of age. The General
was the first to extricate himself from the
ruins, and found to his unspeakable sor-
row that his son was crushed to death.
Mrs.,Pierce, when extricated, was found j

Of such small parts as these."
The year that has just gone by may be
.referred to. as one of marked prosperity
to. the American People. That which
has just commenced, is rich in hope and
promise. And yet, who may with confi
dence predict the events of the Future?
What has bee.n; we know. What may
be. no human beinc can foretell. Never-
theless, "experience teaches wisdonr"and
the individual who closes his eyes to its
truths and its light, must anticipate dis
appointment, misfortune, anxiety and
pain. It is rare, indeed, that we go
wrong,, if we watch closely the events that
haye been, and admonished by their les
sons, carefully direct our course for the
future. At a moment like the present,
we have many reasons to be greateful to
Divine Providence. The Union is not
only j) reserved, but it is, if possible,
stronger than ever. Peace and Plenty
revel in our midst. War and all its hor
rors have for years been strangers to us.
The general health of the millions with
in our. borders, is a matter ot just con
gratulation. The labors of the husband
man have been crowned with abundance.
XotVa cloud may be seen on the broad
blue sky of tho national horizon. As a. na
tion, although among the youngst on the
face of the earth, we, are also among ilie
mightiest. Our possessions extend- from
the Atlantic to the Patific, and the busy
hum of. human industry is heard every
where throughout the laud. The OLD
year, we repeat, has been fraught with
national blessings. Providence has been
beneOcent; generous, and kind to us. We
have been visited by no fearful pestilence,
and famine is a stranger within our limits.
Our people increase and multiply with
every year of our progress, while thous
ands of adventurers from the Old World
are constantly flocking to our shores, as
to tiie modern land of promise. The pres
ent, we repeat, is bright with hope and
expectation.- Although we cannot pierce
through the veil of the future, yet wc feel
the utmost confidence that if true to our
selves, to pur duties and responsibilities,
a it till higher destiny await us as a people.
The events oflS32 have been numerous
and stirring. Many choice spirits have
been summoned to their last long home.
The nation misses in her councils the far
sighted and philosophical Calhoun, the
gallant and chivalrous Clay, the massive
and the mighty Webster, the beloved and
lamented Sergeant. And who shall sup
ply their places? Who shall tread in the
foot-tops that have been adorned and dig
nified by the intellectual greatness and
patriotism "of such illustrious men? It is
only now that they are lost to us, that we
truly appreciate their worth and their val
ue. It is only now that the nation which
refused to mete out to them due honors
while' living, bends in sorrow and in an
guish above their honored graves. And
yet, a country like ours, so progressive,so
impulsive, so elastic in spirit, will rarely
pause to contemplate even the most solemn
sconces. Tho movement is ever onward.
But a little while aco, and the tide of em
igration paused in the Yalley of the Mis
sissippi. And now, it moves beyond the
Rocky Mountains in a continuous stream,
and even to the golden shores of the Pa
cific. The intermediate space is constitu
ted of millions of fertile acres acres that
at some period not far remote, must be
come the abiding place of generations
yet unborn. Who then can measure or
imagine the future? It can only be
calculated relatively by the events of the
past. In 1790, the population of this
country was less than four millions of
souls; in 1850, it was more than twenty
three millions. Should it increase in the
same ratio in the time to come, in the
3ear 1000, or less than half a century
from the present time, it will amonnt to
something like one hundred millions !
iu other words, our present population
will have quadrupled. The general effect
of the busy existence of such a multitude
of human beings scattered throughout the
length and breadth of the land the At
lantic and Pacific bound together bv iron
bands, and thousands of individuals pass
ing to and fro every year can be iingin
ed only by the vivid in mind and the ac
tive in spirit. This with regard to the na
tion at large '. Turning more directly to our
own ocalitT and what is the prospect as
relates to Philadelphia? It is all that
could be desired. In 1790, our popula
tion amounted to 42,520 souls. In 1840,
it amounted to 258,037. Only ten years
after, or in 1850, it had increased to 409,
045. It now may be put down at hale
a milltoN. Within fifteen years it will
probably reach a million. Some parts of
the city are already regarded as thickly
and densely populated. They are so, in
deed and hence our style of buildings has
been so materially alterrd. In the olden
lime, as may be seen out Market street,
and at other points, one or two stories
were deemed quite adequate for ware
houses. No.w they, are run up to five or
six. With our population doubled in fif
teen years, a , still more remarkable
change is likely to take place. We re
peat the prospect is lull ot encourage
ment. The New Year opens under the
most favorable auspices. The opportun
ities are numerous for the ardent, the en
ergetic and the persevering. All cannot
expect success at,fir3t, and it is well that,
all do not achieve it. Adversity, has its
lession as 17011; as prosperity, and it is
sometimes! well' with those who commence

J .
in regard to the Lobos guano .question,

, rm ii
try. Ihe,annuaJ removal ot organic mat-

ter, contained in the productions of the
field, dairy, and stalls of the rural dis-
tricts of our country, will, no doubt, in
process of time, oblige every thrifty farm-
1 , , X . .
er to use imported maniSre, containing
those mgredmts espicially which shall be
i wanting in his soil, for thc production of
i remunerative crops. The cheapness at
i which these foreign manures, of a good
quality, can be afforded in the American
j market, will be a subject of great interest
j to the agricultural producer, in all parts
! 0f our country
! Yet every American farmer should be

; small outlay, the means of rendering them

ufacture of domestic guano, from the
droppings of his barn-yard fowls. Let
him have erected a suitable hen-house,
