A portion of the guerrilla party that stopped
the train on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and
robbed the passengers, were overtaken and cap
tured in a few hours after the robbery had been
committed. Gen. Sullivan was ordered to and
did dispatch a force of about three thousand
mounted men to overtake the highwaymen. The

Some donned citizens' clothes, hid their military
equipments, and, with their horses hitched to
plows, set up the appearance of farmers and bus

The feeling among the citizens against the acts
of these robbers is very strong, and even yin..

alike agree in this respect.
The parties who committed this robbery are
sons of some of the chivalry, and rebel sympa
thizing Baltimoreans. They constitute a portion
of Gilmore's band. Beside Baltimore-born rob

Homestead Gas Light.
The attention of our readers is particularlY in
vited to the descriptions given below, by the
daily papers of this city, of a machinery for pro
ducing gas from Naphtha at a. most economical
rate, which will, in a short time, bring about an
entire revolution in the mode of lighting country
houses, and coattry and village churches. Corn
ple and adequate tests have been given, so as •to
convince all who witnessed them, of the entire
success of the undertaking. The time is not far
distant when every country seat and every coun
try and village church will be lighted by this ad •
mirable contrivance. The firm engaged in the
manufacture of these machines is a most respon
sible one, and will take great pleasure in exhib
iting and explaining it to all who wish informa
tion on the subject. See advertisement in another
column.
GAS FROM NArIITIM—SOMETIFING NEW. —ln
common with quite a number of our citizens, we
witnessed the lighting, of the "Eastern Ex
change," at East Liberty, on Friday night, :with
gas extracted from naphtha, by a new patent pro
cess now being introduced into this community.
We shall not attempt any elaborate description
of the scientifio principles on which the gas is
generated, but will simply content ourself with
directing the attention of the reader to the great
fact that a rival light has sprung up in our midst,
which bids fair to divide public attention, and
public funds, with the old-established gas com
pany, which has so ling enjoyed the monopoly
of furnishing light to our citizens.
When we reached the Exchange, after dark,
we found it brilliantly litoup with gas, and had
we not been apprised beforehand that the gas
was produced from naphtha, we . should have
concluded that the Pittsburgh Gas Company had
extended a gas-main to East Liberty. .The light
is soft, brilliant and steady, and it is claimed
(and the figures would seem to bear thern out)
that the gentlemen who have control of the, pat
ent, that its cost cannot by any possibility, ex
ceed more than one-half the amount now paid by
gas consumers in .the city.' The machine in
which.the gas is generated appears so simple,
that it is difficult to realize the work it performs.
-The apparatus is the invention of Jonathan Grif
fin, of Connecticut, and can be readily applied to
hotels, private houses, &c. There is not the
slightest danger of explosion, nor will the cold
est weather have the least effect upon the flow of
the gas. One gallon of naphtha, which now costs
fifteen cents, will furnish Ave hundred feet of gas.
The gentlemen who own the patent right, and
who propose to engage extensively in the manu
facture of the apparatus and adapting the same
to practical use, have organized under the
general incorporation act of this State, as ajoint
stock company, with a capital of $BO,OOO. And
as the machines, for the most part, will be Man
ufactured here, this alone will add largely to the
trade and business of Pittsburgh. But our space
is already filled. Such of our citizens as have
not witnessed the success of - this new light, can
do so by calling at Lafayette Hall, where every
facility will be extended for thoroughly examin
ing and understanding the process by which the
gas is-generated.—Pittsburgh Post.
GRIFFIN'S lIOBIERFRAD GAS APPARATUS.—A
new gas machine the invention of Jonathan
Griffin, of West Meriden, Conn., is about being
introduced in Western Pennsylvania, and menu.
.factured in this city. The new hotel near East
Liberty is supplied with gas -by the apparatus,
and on Friday evening last we had an- opportu
nity of seeing it operate. We will not attempt a
scientific description,. but may give a definite
idea of the machine. The common atmospheric
air is forced into an elastic drum or sack, by
means of bellows, operated by clock work, and
thence through tubes connected with an air-tight
tank, into and through the naphtha. The gas
is thus made, passes at once into pipes, and is
ready for use. The pipes once filled, the clock
work stops until the burners are opened and the
gas lighted, and the generation of gas is accelera
ted .as the number of burners is 'increased.
When the burners are stopped off, the clock
work ceases and no gas accumulates. No water
is used and no freezing can occur.
The machine is very, simple in its construction,
can be as easily operated as one can wind a clock
or fill a kettle, and it is claimed that gas can be
'manufactured by it a great deal cheaper than it
is now furnished by gas - companies. The ma
chine at the new "Eastern Exchange " hotel is
of ample capacity to supply three hundred burn-.
ere, and the gas seemed to furnish as bright and
steady a light as that given by our city gas.
Another of the machines has been in operation
at a restaurant on Wood Etreef, and many of our
citizens have examined it.
Tax Gamut GAS-LIGHT—A. GREAT &MIEN'S -
MEEIT.—On Friday evening we visited the ele
gant new hotel recently
. erected- at the Stock
yards, near East Liberty, for the purpose of
witnessing the expel - Tient of lighting this mam
moth establishment with gas manufactured upon
the premises. In the basement we found a small
apparatus, consisting mainly of an air-tight tank
containing naphtha, through which a current of
air was kept constantly passing. A highly in
flammable gas is thus formed,Vhich is conduct
ed through ordinary gas pipes, and consumed by
a burner just as our city gas is _ consumed.
Without entering into details, we may state that
the experiment was entirely successful, as the
spacious rooms and halls of the Eastern Exchange
were brilliantly illuminated—every one expres
sing entire satisfaction with-the light furnished,
and pronouncing it equal in all respects to the
ordinary city gas. The machine is so simple
that it requires scarcely any attention, and the
light has the advantages of cheapness, brilliancy,
and freedom from all trouble. Any " Biddy "
can attend to it, who is competent to wind a
clock and fill a kettle. We have already given . a
description of the hotel, Which is second to none
in this section of the country, in point of ar
rangement and eacomModation, and we congrat
ulate the gentleinanly proprietor, Mr. Wilson,
upon his success , in having it lighted in so admi
rable a manner. He is determined, however, to
combine all the cothforts and conveniences of a
city hotel, with the advantages of a first-class
Summer resort.' We are pleased to learn that the
hotel,is now doing a good business, although it
is' ot yet fitted up and furnished. Mr. Huntley,
the manager, is very efficient, and deservedly
popular with the guests.
The gas furnished to this hotel is called the
Griffin light—the machine having been invented
by Jonathan Griffin, - of West Meriden, Conn. A
joint stock company has been formed here, under
the recent act relating to corporations, with a
capital of $BO,OOO, and it is proposed to intro
duce this new gas at Once, as the cheapest light
in the world, We have seen the house machines,
at the rooms of ,the. company in Lafayette Hall
building, and we would advise those of our read
ers who feel interested in the matter to call and
examine the working models. Every gentleman
who owns a country seat should have one of these
machines, and no doubt will have one ere long.
Manufacturers, both large and small,- would
economize largely by using this new gas. The
machines are manufactured by Messrs. Foster &
Co., corner of Fenn and Stanwix Streets, who
will receive orders for the Company. The inven
tion is no longer an experiment, but is now sfio
cessfully before the public, and all the company
desire is an intelligent investigation of its mer
its.--Gazette.
GAB /Hon[ NAPEITIIA.—On Friday evening we
were invited out -to the Eastern Exchange, in
East Liberty, to witness the lighting of that
large hotel from gas generated in a very simple
manner from naphtha ; and we confess to a pre
conceived opinion that the trial would result un
favorably. But we were agreeably disappointed.
It was a perfect success. One hundred burners
were in operation, and the light was clear, steady
And brilliant. No person, unless previously in
formed, would suspectthe light ka proceed from
other than the ordinary and expensive coal gas.
This gas costing less - than fifty cents per thou
sand feet--an immense saving over the cost of
city gas. The residiuni,,after the naphtha is ex
hausted, sells to painters and other mechanics in
the East at - one dollar per gallon.- One beantl-
ful feature of this mode of generating gas is,
that no more is made than will fill the pipes, for
immediate use, and hence there is little or no dan
'ger from explosion. Another security against the
latter is, that, this gas, the moment it escapes,
mingles and intermixes with the atmosphere.;
and unless a room be air-tight, which is not the
case with any sleeping-room, an explosion from
leaving the - gas escaping, is utterly out of the
'question. The greater the number of burners
ignited the more rapidly the gas is generated, on
the principle of creating a greater vacuum,
and
causing an eased current of airso that the
pressure is equal—being precisely the same
whether there be one burner or two hundred.
The cost of this gas is not beyond one-third that
of the city gas per one thousand feet, while the
light is equally brilliaht. The result will inev
itably be, that it will supersede the latter to a
great extent. It is natural that the community
should patronize the most economical. The ma
chine is so simple in its construction, and so un
likely, nay, almost impossible, to get out of
order, that any person of ordinary capacity can
run it.
The gas is manufactured on the hotel prem
ises, by means of an ingenious and very simple
apparatus ' invented by Jonathan Griffin, of
Meriden, Conn. A current of atmospheric air
is, .by means of a set -of bellows, worked by a
weight, or spring and fusee, like the works of a
clock or watch, forced throtigh the naphtha,
which is in an air-tight tank, and generates the
gas, •ffilioh passes at once into the pipes. Aq
soon as the pipes are filled the clock-work
ceases to move, and only starts as the burners
are lighted, and moves more rapidly as num
ber of burners lighted is increased. No-gas can
accumulate beyond the mere contents of the
pipes, and no water beibg used, no trouble arises
from cold weather. One gallon makes five hun
dred feet.
Foster & Co. manufacture for this State: west
of the Susquehanna, and for eastern Ohio.—
Commercial. •
MANUFACTURE YOUR OWN GAS.—We had the
pleasure on Frida,y evening last of visiting the
Eastern Exchange Rigel, near East Liberty, for
the purpose of witnessing the : aperation of light
ing that large and-commodious building by means -
Of Griffin's Patent Homestead .Gas Apparatus.
The gas is manufactured in the cellar of the es
tablishment, and we can fissure our readers that
the machine performs, in every particular, all
that is claimed for it by the patentee. We are
not fully acquainted with the scientific working
of the machine, but may attempt to give an idea
of it. The ordinary atmospheric air is forced by
means' of clock-work and bellows through the
naphtha from which the gas is manufactured,
and which is contained in'an air-tight tank, and
,thus the gas is generated, and passes at once into
the pipes, and is ready for use. As Boons as
the pipes are filled the clock-work ceases to move
until the burners are opened, and the gas lighted,
when it begins to move more rapidly, and the
more burners lighted only accelerates its motion.
No accumulation of gas takes plaee, as no water
is used, and no change of weather can interfere
with the manufacture of the gas.
The whole apparatus is to all appearance very
simple, and can be put in motion by a process as
simple as the winding of a clock. The , gas burin;
with a clear, steady light, and' is' remarkable
alike for its brilliancy and the cheapness with
which it can be manufactured, one thousand feet
of gas being made from two gallons of naphtha,
the price of which is fifteen cents per gallon.
The machines are manufactured by Foster & Co.,
Penn and Stanwix Streets, and they are making
preparations to manufacture them on an exten
sive scale, andson such terms as will place them
- within the reach of all property owners. We un
derstand that a joint stock company has been or
ganized, under the style off the "Griffin Home
stead Gas Apparatus Manufacturing Company,"
with a capital stock of $50,000, and they , will be
made at the - establishment of Foster & Co., as
above stated. This is a new feature in the man
ufacturing business of our city, and we have no
doubt but. what these machines will soon come
into general use throughout the country, as they
are perfectly safe, not being liable 'to explode,
and capable of performing all that is claimed for

Thou haat gone to the land where angela dwell;
And there, with the ransomed around the throne,
Among sweet harpers thou ever art one.
Thy bright, beaming eye, and happy, sweet

Did many an hour of sorrow beguile ;
Thy sweet,, childish prattle, and warm-pressed
kiss,
Made life pass away in 13 easous of bliss..
Sweet bird ! thou hast flown to a far-off shore,
Thy song we will hear through life nevermore;
But near the bright throne, in heaven's fair
bowers,
Thou wilt oarrol thy song through eternity's
hours.
Dear Minnie! we oft to thy grave will go,
And weep for thee there,' where thou Heat low ;
But back to this earthh - thy spirit to dwell,`
We never would call it—no, no—farewelll
By the help of God's grace, through J.eins his
Son, -
Throggh trials and griefs we stilt struggle on,
Till - we come to the land where angels dwell ;
Till then, dear. Minnie—sweet Minnie—farewell !

It Is proposed to publish a Biography of the late - Roy,
W. THOMPSON, WO., of Academia, Pa.
During the last twent3 -five years, besides his regular minis
trations to his own people, he preached in nearly all the
cities and villages of Pennsylvania quid New-Jersey; in
Baltimore anti in New-York; in Railrdlid depots, in cars, in
canal-boats and steamboats 4i in prisons, in hospitals, in
tents and unser the trees. lid preached to soldiers, to sail
ors, to lumbermen, to boatmen, to colored men, to the moat
unlearned and to the most refined—to ministers, M. Proles
sors and students in Academies, Colleges and Seminaries—
always acceptably, frequently with great power. At least
one hundred ministers, and probably thousands of Chris
tians can point to him as their spiritual father. Amongst ,
these various classes there must be the materials for an in
tensely interesting biography.
Persons having sketches of his sermons, letters, or well
authenticated incidents of his travels—of revivals in .which
labored—of-his methods "of - raising money for churches
and for needy students=in short, all persons able:to commu
nicate anything interesting in regard to him, are requested
to forward a written account to the subscriber. litany of
his methods were peculiar, but they wore successful. Ae
loved "God's poor, rich in faith." het them tell what they
know, and let seine warm-hearted Christian send us the
narrative. isit us have the Fame Incident from several
pens, rather than it should be lost. leg% -

great good. The proceeds of its sale will be devoted to be

A sure cure for these distressing complaints is now made

tion was furnished him in such a providential manner, that
he cannot conscientiously refuse to make it known, as it
has cured everybody who has used it, never having failed in
a Single case. It is - equally sure in cases of Pits as of Dys
pepsia; and the ingredients may be found in any drng store.
Sent free to all on receipt of flvo cents ta prepay postage.
