During ' Ihe Christmas' holidays Samuel Davis, col ored aged abbut 55 was ; missing, and he was supposed to have been drowned. It was known that he had gone up the North East river for a flat load of wood, and his batteau was subsequently found adrift in the river. In the bottom--! the boat was his pipe and stick. Fri day his bodv was found about 15 miles fro this ciiy on the river bank, where it had been washed up. There were no marks of violence on his person, but a handkerchief was tied aroundJiis fore head as though to relieve headache. It is thought he was seized with vertigo or heart disease and fell' out of his boat and was drowned. That Exoduster.

They threw cold water ou his scheme and dampened his ardor to such an extent that he thought it w;s hardly worth his while to remain longer. Perhaps Jie thought some one might give him a reception and treat him io a winter suit of tar and chicken feathers, similar to the one presented to one of his pals by the col ored citizens of Ivinstou.

It is produced, says the Journal of Induslt y, by mixing gum camphor with a pulp of j Urun cotton, and subiectinir the combi- r . a uation to a high degree of pressure and heat. The result is a hard product of extraordinary loughness and elasticity. It can be made plastic again and molded into any required form. Any color can be given to it by the use of coloring matter during the process of manufac- ture. The uses to which celluloid is put arc "numerous, and are constantly increasing. It is expensively used as a substitute for ivory, which it resembles so closely that it is sometimes difficult to detect the diflerence. It is said to equal ivory n strength ?and elasticity, and not to warp or discolor with time. It has preyed a good material for piano and organ keys, billiard balls, backs of brushes, looking glass; frames, handles tor knives, lorks, umbrellas, and many other articles. It.is much cheaper than ivoiy, and is claim. i to be better for I Uly, auU decorative purposes. It is a'so used with much success to imite torto:se Il 1 '- 1 9 -m i " - snen, malachite, amber, pint coral, and other costly materials. In imitation of torto"3e shell, it is made into combs,' napkin nugs, match boxes, card cases, &c. Imitations of pink coral jewelry are made and sold at prices much below those of the genuine. The same is true of imitations of malachite and amber. Afrmtfi miooa frr ninoa rrrnv li rl A a rj &c. . are common. It is also used as a substitute for p ircelain in making dolls' heads. The liamcs of eye glasses, opera f- 'ntiS if J glasses, auu spectacles are maue 01 11. come into use in combination with li 1 cuinuiuauou wilu. nuen, cotton, or t Al. paper, for shirt bosoms, culTs, and col- lars; The material has a hard, glisten ing surface, like that ot newly laundered linen; is -elastic and impervious to moisture, and when soiled can be reno vated with a moistened sponge.
