The Dispatch this week quotes editorially a letter written by a cor respondent here to the Port Jervis Gazetto.eommenting on a Supreme Court decision, refusing fees to con stables for making returns, or being in attendance at terms of Court. We know of no such decision. It is said, reported in some newspaper wo believe, but not so far as we can find in any logal report, that associ ate Judge Bennett of the Common Pleas of Luzurno county has de cided something in regard to consta bles foes, but what the point was, or the scope of the decision, we do not know. It may have as much appli cability to constables generally as did the Cambria county case to the fees of county commissioners, quoted sometime ago by our es teemed cotemporary. The Enchanter's Part.

Oh, then I'd play the enchanter's part In casting bliss around I Oh, not a tir or aching heart nnouiit in tne world oe found!

Oh, thus I'll play the enchanter's part in cttsuug miss around! Oh, nut a tear or aching heart Should in the world be found' Samuel Lover, A New lamp. Somo time ngo mention wns mnde of a new and brilliant gas, called acetylene, which is produced by heating together in an telectrio fur nace powdered chalk or lime and 8omeform of finely divided carbon, coal or charcoal. At a very high temporature calcium carbide is formed, this whon thrown in water produces a double docomposition.the calcium combining with the oxygen of the water, and the carbon uniting with hydrogen and forming acety lene, which escapes from the water with violent ebullition and may be readily collected in any suitable re ceiver. The solid calcium carbide, if kept dry, can be handled and trans ported with perfect safety. The gas is manufactured by simply immer sing the carbide in water. In the new lamp, a vessel forms the standard, which is about two thirds full of water, and a small glass receiver having a hole in the bottom, and furnished with a fine glass tube passing through the stop per. In this receiver is suspended a basket of iron wire containing pieces of calcium carbide. When the re ceiver is immersed in the water, the latter passes through the hole in the basket ; gas forms immediately, and is conducted upward to the burner through the tube, the flow being re gulated by a stop cock. The flame is said to be pure white of great brillancy, and, when unshaded -al most insupportable to the eye. One pound of pure calcium car bide will yield five and one half cu bic feet of acetylene. It is said the carbide can be manufactured at $20 per ton, and if this is true the cost of good light from acetylene should be about one-third of that from coal gas when the latter sells at fifty cents per thousand feet.
