Horrible Suicide. We gather from
Concord paper. the particulars of most
appalling suicide committed in the Jail at
Hopkinstown' John Davis had been put
in the State Prison. on a complaint. Of a
huse made by his wife. He had been
detained in jail, according to the Concord
paper, FOURTEEN MONTHS. without exam
ination or trial Such cruelty and oppres-
sion could, we venture to say. find no pa
rallel in the annals of the country. AT the
sessions, no one appeared against him.
and the officers were about TO discharge
the persecnted and oppressed man. AZ

an unStstdined charge of abuse. they enter
ed his cell TO discharge him. and found
him dead Hope deferred. had rendered
him desperate He had committed suicide
bv cutting his throat from ear to ear So
affrctnally did he make that fatal wound
that every vein and muscle from one ear
TO the other was, separated. and the wind
pipe, cut nearly half off in two places
the whole account is revolving and most
melancholy.
The Fall River Recorder of Wednes-
day last states that there are now nearly

travel from city TO city, preying upon
the unwary and unsuspccting, and maxi

harpies are found mingling with tho

wore Grape for their sins on their hats
they put on long faces, and gave a
nasal twang to the voice that enraptur-
ed every body.-They prayed like fury
gave forth their experience-talked
of salvation like saint--but took care
to pick up as much money MS they could
before they left the holey greve. Some
times the same set will be seen mixing
with fashionable life at springs or wat

ROLLING HELIX LEVER MATCHES
An invention hos been made by Mr.. M
Cennl, of Leeds and Wakefield, which
promises TO be ofimporant use in watch
and clock making, and every kind OF
machinery. The invention is now
and very superior methed of communi-
eating motion from one wheel TO anoth-
er, by wha. the inventor calls the rolling
helix lever. The inventor gives the
following account of it ;--"Of his helix
lever the following are the valuable and
distinguished properties. First, it pass
es over equal spaces in equal times, and
consequently all times, at eqaal distan.
cos from the centre of motion, per,
foction never before accomplished by
any practical method Of communicating
motion. Secondly, 1t has contlnued
line of centres, and single point OF
contact. Thirdly, Its pressure is al
ways in line parallel 10 its axis, by
which hll the friction of shoulders is ~
voided. Ard lastly, it has rolling ac-
tion, which materially rednces the fric-
tion at the points of contact. In COM
municating motion by means of toothed
wheels, il is eviden. that every tooth
must transmit some degree Of imperfec-
lions on coming into acton. and on cea
sing to act, and consequently iinpsss5N
tons will be multiplied, in proportion
to the number Of teeth. An exa,hina-
ton of yearly clock on the old princi-
pie, and one on that of the new, will inl-
!mediately evince the immense SUPERIOR
ity of the latter in this respect. On the
old principle the number Of teetL is ~
~, and the number Of consequsnt I'M
perfections l4S,000,00O. On the new
principle the number of teeth is 13O,
and the number ofconsequent imperfec-
tiohs l19,760. This striking fact clear
ly establishes the vastly superior accu-
racy of The new principle as applied TO-
oil mechanism designed for the mea-
surement Of time. lfa machine, con-
structed upon the old principle, 20 pro-
Jnce certain quantity of motion, re-
quires moving power of IL pounds,
one constructed upon this new invented
principle will produce the required mo-
tion with the wonderful small power Of
o ounces. This great superiority arises
from the peculiar construction Of this
lever. and its circular mode of nca)on,
which places it SO decidedly over every
other invention yet presented to the
public"
"By means Of this, the inventors
have been enabled to construct an eight
day clock with only two wheels, and on
ly requiring a weight of 6 ounces, while
one constructed upon the old principles
requires A wheels and 3 pinions, with n
weight no, less than 10 pounds tokeep
it in notion"

Fire IN the mountains The fire,
mischevously kindled on the mountains
near PottsviIle, Pennsylvania, recently,
was not extingushed, until immense
quantities oftImber had been DESTROYED,
and the Poltsville railroad much injured.
The scene Mt night is described as grand
and imposing. Long before sun set the
murky smoke made it an orb Of blood
and the moon was dim and lustreless--
the mountain appeared covered with
mynads Of flaming torches-anon the
conhagra,ion spread-the flames were
seen kindling, leaping and running in
various directions-rapidly ascending
the tall forest trees and enclosing the N
with fiery wreaths-grnppling and en-
closing the giants in their glittering coils
while the dense clouds of smoke over
head, the cracking Of the boughs be-
meath, and-the furious lion-like roar of
tho tbs element added TO the grandeur of
the scene.'
