DIED.

At the house of Joseph Yager Miss CATHAR1sE
MILLER, of Woodstock, Va in the 2Sd year of her age
The cause of this young lady's death is truly heart
rending about two months ago she left Woodstock,
Va. the place of her nativity, and came to Baltimore,
accompanied by her father, to learn the business of
milliner with the Misses Aexanders. On Thursday
the 10th inst she felt unwe and went up stairs to get
her bonnet and she related before her DEATH seeing
bottle the mantle piece, and thinking that it was
lavender compound, Chat being in the house,) she
took swallow, and then getting another quantity
in her mouth (she suspecting something wrong) spit
it out, when to her astonshmcnt, proved TO be
rosve submate she Immediately complained of feel
ing great pain, glass of water handed her, she
drank it /; she then went to Mr.. John Vests, Marsh
Market space where medical aid was Immediately call
ed in but all to effect; she suffered excrucating
pain until the 9Th day after this circumstance, when
her spirit left the tenement of clay for better world.
Thus we have another warning to caution US against
making Of or leaving so dangerous drug within
the reach Of such may not know the consequences
that follow the taking so strong poison.

of China are totally unacqusinted with the prining
press and consequently, ra their designs are pro-
duced hy the psncil alone
This mode Of iynparting designs TO the surface OF
porcelain, and which is known in the trade by the
appella,on Of Fine Painting, is managed in the ol
lowing manner.
One man attends the press which is similar to
The common copper plate printing press; and as
soon as he has applied the color, which is laid on
the copper plate in the same manner which the cop
yr-plate printers apply the ink-he lays It upon a
hot iron to thin the oil with which the color is
mixed.
The oil is peculiar preparation Of boiled lnseed
oil Tor This purpose. When the color upon the
plate is thus reduced to aproper consisence, sheet
Of silver paper is laid over it, and passed thr ouBh
the press.
The oxide Of cobal, is the only mineral employed
for the blue. and is largely prepared 10 the Stafford
shire Poteres. Ii sells from 40s to COS the pound
according 10 its intensity and goodness. Indeed
such improvements have been made in the manufac-
lure Of this colour that the Chinese pot.ers now
supplied from England with all the cobalt they con.
sumo.
When the paper comes from The printing press,
stamped with the required pattern, it is delivered,
while wet with the color, to girl who cuts of
'he superhuous paper with pair OF scissors, and
passes il TO another girl who Immediately applies il

IN hour, the color is generally found 10 be suff
risny fixed to admit OF their being detached This
is rec ed hy putting the articles into tub Of water,
where the paper soon becomes soft enough to allow
Of its being rubbed off, leaving the full impression
OF the pattern upon the buscui,. The paper having
be,n removed the is suffered 10 stand dry, after
which it is put into an oven at low heat, FOR the
purpose Of dissipatng the oil. and preparing 10

glaze is necessary 10 give iu effect 10 the brilliant
color Of the cobalt A little OF the oxide IS put in
the glaze 10 subdue any lurking yellow tint which
might impair its lustte.
An idea occurs TO me respecting printed ware,
which although il may now appear fancifu will,
doubt not, be some time or other realized | refer
% the possibility Of printing two three colors al
once. The Lancashire calico printers employ
machine which imparts two or three distinct colors
by one Impression. The application Of the same
principle would be O. immense importance to manu-
aciurcrs d eat!henware and porcelain.
