A Smash. On Monday, as Mr. Stevens, a
jeweler, of New York, was . leaving town, his
horses became frightened and jumped olf the
bridge into the tail-race of the Huntingdon mill,

The carriage was broken to pieces, but neither

The Japanese porcelain is remarkable. A late
writer on Japan says : "The tea-cups are es
pecially worthy of attention. I have seen tea
cups, a dozen of which, wilh the saucers, would
not weigh three ounces. They are really trans
parent and so thin and delicate that one would
believe the droppiug of a piece of sugar would
break them : nevertheless this very thinness gives
them an extraordinary elasticity."

Vfhen a young lady, a Neapolitan princess, was

fjQF The Scientific America 3ays that teeth,
in the form of purified white India rubber, have
been patented in England. It adds: "The ad
hesion is complete ; it can be moulded with per
fection to suit every inequality of the gam an-1
and teeth, and supplies an artificial periostum,
as it were, to the teeth, when they become pain
ful by the wasting away of the gum. Added to
these is the elasticity of the material, which
completely obviates the inconvenience that arises
from any motion with artificial teeth made by
other means."

- Democratic State Convention.
IIarkisbueu, July, 2S, 1853.
William L. Hirst, of Philadelphia, took the
chair, as chairman of the State Central Commit
tee, and as President of the - late Democratic
Convention, after alluding in proper terui3, to
the death of Judge Gibson, and stating the rea
sons for tho re-assembwng of the Convention cal
led that body to order.
-The names of delegates to the last State Con
vention were called it appearing that a large
number being absent, their places were filled by
substitutes. William Curtis and llobert Neviu
aete 1 as Secretaries. . .
Mr. Nili, of Franklin, moved that the counties
of Franklin, Erie, Warren and Mercer, be per
mitted to be represented by delegates not resi
dents of the respective counties named. This
motion was advocated by its mover, and opposed
by Messrs. J. W. Guernsey and A. Piumer, and
finally voted down by a largo majority.
Mr. Frailey, of Schulkill. moved to proceed
to the election of a temporary chairman ; this
motion was amended by Mr. Fulton, to substi
tute the words, "That we now proceed, to the
nomination of a candidate for Judge of the Su
pre Court." To this amendment Judge. Barrett
moved an amendment, that tho Convention now
proceeds to business unper its previous organi
sation, and that the former officers of the same
take their seats.
These various amendments were discussed by
Messrs. Frailey, Horn R. Kneass,- Black, Nill
and Judge B.irrett, and the amendmentof Judge
Barrett to the amendment was finally adopted
by a vote of yeas 1 1, nays 2
On tuotion of John N. Guernsey and Joel B
Danuer, the Hon. John C. Knox was unanimous
ly nominated as a canuiuate lor juujre or tne
Supreme Court. '
A resolution was now ollered to aujourn sine
dii, which was voted down by a large majority
The President appointed Messrs. McDowell,
Lowry and Guernsey a committee to inform J udge
Knox of his nomination.
After filling several vacancies on the conimit-
appointed at the last convention, to draft resol
utions, the Convention took a recess till seven
o'clock, to hear the report of that Commitlee.
EVEXIXa SESSION.
Convention met at 7 o' clock. Mr. Guernsey
offered a resolution relative to the future organ
izations of Conventions, providing that the
Chairman of the State Central Committee act as
Chairman ex officio of all future Conventions un
til permanent officers are appointed.
Col. Black, Chairman of Committo on resolu
tions, reported several short resolutions sustain
ing the administrations of President Pierce and
'Gov. Bisrler. and also regretting the death of
-Judge Gibson and Vice President King, which
were adopted.
After the reading of the the resolutions above
referred to, Robert Tyler arose and ofi"ered resol
utions sustaining the Pacific Railroad scheme,
and re-affirming the Baltimore Tlatform ; which
Mr. Gore moved to amend by addins a resolution
in favor of granting a Homestead of 1G0 acres to
every actual settler of the Government lands. '
The resolutions sustaining a strict construc
tion of the Constitution, (Fugitive Slave Law,)
and in favor of the Pacific Road were adopted.
. Mr. Gore's resolution wag amended by urging
me next congress to pass a law giving every
Contosaptibla Xaanness.
A recent number of that excellent family pa
per, the Home Journal, stated that the Queen of
Great Britain some months a?o received from a
woman ia Pcimsylvaff.x, an elaborately v.oike 1
satin built, as a picK-nt, which t,li'e accorsteJ.
contrary to her asu a custom,
receipt. Th? donor, however,
splendid gifts an returns for .
personages, was indignant at
'ickn vl edging its
iiavia r visions of
presents to royal
not receiving ten
times the value of what .she had given and so
penue 1 an indignant letter to her majesty, on
the ground of her not receiving some keepsake
for her present. The Queen answered by buy
ing her off for jC20, at tho same time stating
that, in future, under no circumstances would
bhe receive "presents from American ladies," of
whom we fear she considers this woman a fair
specimen.
When we perused this notice of the matter,
we confess that we felt somewhat annoyed that
this woman was an American, much more so
that she was a Pennsy lvanian but now the
meanness seems brought much nearer home, and
it is strongly suspected that she is a resident of
Allegheny city I A city paper states that one of
our Europe Agencies recently received a note
from their principals, authorising the payment
of X 20 (nearly a hundred dollars) to Mrs.
of Allegheny city, who (it is fair to presume) if
the fair (?) donor of the bed-cover to Queen Vic
toria. The Agent, for Vic's security, should
take a receipt in full and we don't know but it
should be published, as a caution to the other
crowned heads of Europe, for who knows but
the success of perseverance in thi3 instance may
not encourage her to play the same "thimble"
trick upon others, or even upon our own repub

Tunnelling Hachino.
A very ingenious apparatus has been devised
to facilitate the progress of tho Piedmontese
railroads, in which tunnels have been cut under
mountains The excavatinjr machine cuts the
channels in the rock, by means of several series
of chisels placed one beside the other, iu straight
lines; these lines of cutting are so arranged as
to be capable of a slight motion iu the direction
of the grooves after every stroke ; the object of
tins is to bring tue cinssels to bear upon alutho
spaces lying between the several cutting tools
situated in the same line, so as to produce not a
succession of holes, but a continuous channel
similar to a very wide saw-cut. This lateral
shifting of the lines of chisels, which takes place
alternately from right to left, and from left to
right, is caused by a corresponding motion given
to the frames in which they are fixed. Each
chisel is driven against the rock by a spiral
spring coiled round it. This spring, driving the
chisel forcibly against the rock, obliges it to act
efficaciously, notwithstanding the slight inequal
ities at the bottom of the channel, arising from
a want of uniformity in the resistance of the
stone. When the machine is - iu operation, the
several lines of chisels are all drawn back simul
taneously, by means of a species of cam or mo
vable bar. The apparatus is arranged so ag to
enable each chisel to strike 150 blows in a min
ute. The machine at the same time sets in mo
tion a pump, which forces a constant supply of
water into a reservoir, the upper part of which
is filled with compressed air. By this means
tho water is driven out in jets, through small
pipes placed between the chisels, and is thus
made to play upon the grooves, where it per
forms the double office of preventing the cutting
instruments from becoming heated, and remo
ving the dust and broken stones which would
otherwise accumulate in the grooves, and there
by prevent the effectual operation of the excavator.

Oxe of the best replies that we remember to

made by James I. In a Shrewsbury address,
his royal subjects expressed a wish that he might
reign over them as long as the sun, moon and
