Blistering. A novel, and per-
: haps an excellent, mode of blister-
jing, lias been discovered by M.
Pigeaux. After shaving the skin,
if necessary, the place is to be
welted with a sponge or rag, dip
ped in spirits of wine, of from 2G
to 30 degrees, eau de Cologne, or
good brandy. The skin having
leen thus impregnated, a lighted
paper or match is applied, and
isters immediately arise, as they
do from the continued and disa
greeable action of ranlharides.
A wet cloth should be placed
'around the part, to prevent unne
cessary pam by the spreading of
the flame.

t The Ttn Million Bank....From
J'-e exposition of the plan for a

The exposition starts with as-

Calculations are then given, which

a':" limitation of the loan, the
State will owe in Europe the prin
cipal of the sum borrowed, 1,
04l,GG6J pounds which at 1,

at 8 per o :t. advance, will require
5X,000,000 here to pay itand
the full sum is provided f v by the
sinking fund, leaving the Stale th
owner of $3,0G0,G2G in the bank.
The'above calculation is upon
ilie presumption thai the loan can
be had, paying annual interest,
hut if required semi-annually, it a
little more than equals the surplus
sum of 60,626. Some fractions
have been disregarded in this cal

down to 18 and 20 below zero.j
This season from the unusually!
early commencement, and severe
duration, of the cold, may literally
be denominated a zero winter.

Horrible transaction. Two

every individual ' took' sit k wiih
violent pains, except one person
who did not eat. Tin y all recov

Joseph Moor,-whose stomach has
been forwarrled to Philadelphia!
for examination. It is very ra
tional supposed arsenic was sprin
kled on the dishes by a negro wo
man named Rachel Saunders, who
officiated as cook. She has been
placed ill Kent county Jail. No
cause is assigned for her conduct.
Why was not the individual, who
like Judas did not eat, also exam-j
ined? It is curious too, that the j
contents of the stomach should
be transported to Philadelphia,
when Delaware possesses so many
able and learned physicians, on
whom this is rather a reflection we
should say.

A Narrow Escape. Sey era
young men of this place, says the
Portsmouth Times, "ventured up
on the ice between Portsmouth
and Norfolk on Thursday last, on
Skating expedition. After en
joying themselves for some time,
at their wonted sport, they sudden
ly found the sheets of ice on which
they had collected, cracking and
bending beneath them. Fortu
nately, they had the presence of
minct to throw themselves hori
zontally upon the ice, and in that
situation with the aid of a little
scrambling and floundering in the
water, to reach a belter founda
tion. They came out of their
trying situation as wet as wharf
rats, and. as handsomely iced as
wedding cakes."
.-A
Fire. The last Petersburg In
telligencer contains the following
account of a fire, that broke out in
t etersburg on the 6th: "A fire
broke out on Saturday evening
last about 9 o'clock in the back
buildings attached to the Coach
making establishment of Mr. Car
ter Bethel, on Bank Street; and,
before its progress could be ar
rested, destroyed a dwelling (oc
cupied by colored' people) on
Brick House Run, the Paint and
Blacksmith Shops of Mr. Bethel,
and ail the stables and frame out
houses in the rear of the tenements
occupied by Mr. Mordicai Brown,
Airs. Carey and the Beading
Boom. We understand that the
heaviest loss sustained, will fall
upon Mr. Bethel, a worthy and
industrious mechanic nearly the
whole of the unfinished work in
his establishment having been en
tirely destroyed."

v')n Invention. The New York
Times says: "We understand
that Mr. Clinton Roosevelt, of
that city, has "invented an invulner
able Steam Battery, calculated to
do meat service. It is rendered
invulnerable, as we are tola; by
making tin; bows and stem of the
vessel alike sharp, and plating
them with polished iron armour,
with high'" bulwarks and a sharp
roof, also, plated in like manner,
with the design of glancing the
balls, which can be dou if the an
gles of incidence be sufficiently
acute. The meaus'of-offence are
a torpedo, which is made to lower
on nearing the enemy, and be
driven by a mortar into the ene
my's side under water, w here by
fusee it will explode. There is
also a very large cannon at each
end of the battery, to.nse in case
circumstances should render an
attack by the torpedo impractica
ble. There are also mortars to
throw all kinds of combustibles
upon the sails and decks of Oppo
nents. This mode of approach is
always to keep one end of the bat
tery opposed to the enemy. There
are means to prevent balls from
reaching any part of the machin
ery." -

Mail Robber Retalien.Wz
learn that Richard Hawkins, who
was recently arrested in Rich

bing the mail, and made his es
cape, alter committing. a violent
assault upon the ofilcer, has been
retaken in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr.
John M. Anderson, of Richmond,
despatched by the Postmaster at
that city, traced him to this city,
and having discovered that he had
gone out in the western stage, im
mediately pursued him under or
ders from the Department. Hav
ing arrived in Cincinnati on the
evening of the 30th ult. he made
the necessary arrangements, and
had the fugitive arrested the next
morning, on the point of his in
tended embarkation on board a
steamboat for Louisville. He will
be taken back to Richmond for
trial. Mr. Anderson merits ap
plause for the skill, energy, and
perseverance with which he con

Melancholy.' 'Miss Martha
Wilson, of Effingham co. Geo.
who on returning from Savannah
with her mother and brother, had
''camped out," as the custom is on
road, caught fire in her bed, ami
running some distance before her
clothes could be torn of, the
flames were thereby so increased
by the motion, that she was in a
few minutes literally charred to
death.
fXT5" Caution.- It is the worst
plan in the world to attempt to
run on such occasions, as the cir
culation of air thereby created,
always increases the flames and
thus makes death certain. We
know several instances of lives
thus sacrificed, w hich if thepersons
had remained quiet in the room
and been enveloped in the rug

Extraordinary Power of ' Steam.
An ingenious Englishman, nam
ed West, has lately erected, on a
copper mine at St. Austell, a steam
engine, cmi an economical princi
ple of preserving the heat, in the
manner, we should udi?e from the
description, of Professor Nott, of
our country. In an experiment,
it raised 1251 millions ot pounds
weight one loot high with evey
bushel of coals consumed!
fXA fire was lately extinguish
ed in a factory near Bury, in
England, by steam! A person had
the presence of mind to break one
f the steam pipes, and upon
closing the doors the fire was ex
tinguished in a few minutes.
Female Gallantry. A fire,
which broke out at night in the
wash room of the steamboat Ran
dolph, 6n her passage from Nash
ville to New Orleans, was arrest
ed by the presence of mind of
Mrs. Forbes, (wife of the former
editor of the Western Methodist,)
who alarmed the ladies in the ca
bin, and with their assistance, ex
tinguished the flames. The pas
sengers "held a meeting on board,
and returned thanks.

Galway, Missouri, in returning

body bruised apparently with a
club. Though he was a kind
master, his murder is attributed to
one of his negroes.

. Liberia. An interesting letter
from a Mr. McElroy, addressed to
the Secretary of the American Co
lonization Society, and published
in the National Intelligencer, des
cribes this African Colony as pos
sesing aoil of surprising luxuri
ance and adaption both to north
ern and tropical vegetation. Not
only the best of wheat and corn,!
but cotton and rice, and the plan
tain and banana, and other West
India fruits, flourish in great a
bundance. The climate is not as
healthy as could be wished, but
like most of the Western shores of
Africa, the miasmata which are
exhaled from its rich swamps and
bottom lands, is the price which;
must be paid for the extreme fer
tility of a soil of that character.

Monrovia, the chief settlement.
has 500 houses, and five places of

Nine vessels, English and Ameri

bor at one time. It is certainly
making immense progress towards
the colonization and emancipa
tion of Africa, when ii is consider
ed that this spot was lately the fa
mous Cape Mesurado, so well
known as a slave market. The
writer slates that the slavers are of
great speed, being generally Bal
timore clippers, and thinks they
might be effectually destroyed if
a lew steam vessels of war were
concentrated at Monrovia.

Miracvlovs Escape. On Fri
day evening last a party of Ladies
and Gentlemen of our village,
who were returning from a ride,
descended the "Short Clove" af
ter night all, and when at the most
dangerous part of the dugw ayythe
horse of Mr. Isaac Manning be
came unmanageable, and plunged
off. When Mr. M. saw it was im
possible to keep the horse upon
the track, he told Mrs. M. to jump
out, and at the same time cleared
himself. Persons have since been
up the Clove, and ascertained, by
actual measurement, that the dis
tance at which the horse lauded
from the top of the dug-way was
forty feet. The sleigh was but
little injured, and the deep snow
upon which the horse fell, saved
his life, though somewhat injured.
No person can stand upon the
dug-way, and belive it possible
that any animal could descend it
with life.
