IMPORTANT TO PRINTERs.-We are hap
pV to communicate to our brethren of the
press, that we have found simple aud &C.
ouomical substitute for the orIinarv I've
used for washing type. AMI which Is APP
piled by method which does not detrli orate
the letter so much as the brush or swing
trough does, and clears the ink far more
. etfectually than either rece pt Put into a
close earlnen vessel two Scotch pints ofrain
or river water; take o..e pound Of cau<tc
or unslacked lime, and one pound pearl
ashes, and mix them among the water;
cork the boule and shake il well for tNrn-
ty minutes; then lay it a$i le, and allow
the ingredients 10 settle. In the course oil
the next day it should be carefully poured
Out, quite transparent, mo another vesse,
wherc it may be kept for use, always ia
king care to secure it well from the action
of the atmosphere. Thus. an aIkaIi ofthe
most powerful kind is produced; application
of which, while it cleans off the ink, and
dissoIves picks on the face Of the letter, has
not the slightest tendency to injure the met
al, as we have proved by numerous ex
perlments. 1t Is used for washing jobs,
&C. by being poured on a small piece Of
sponge, which should be firm y tied on
| the end Of stick, like a mop, otherwise
! it will seriously lnjure the fingers of the
operator. After 1t has been once aiI on,
! the job is ceansed from the alkaIi by dash
ing couple of pailfuIls of water on it.
| We may add that half tirthiny's worth
OF I've Will be sufficient 10 wash the lar
| gest form, and Inlay be accomplished in
five minutes. After i most satisfactory
trial of twelve months, we should recon-
mend it to the trade. Having 'elt its adran
tagrs, we are anxious tina! all our brethren
should participate in the benefit Ct our dis
covery.-F"rres Gaelic.
CoNs1srENcY.-On Sunday evening
the 18th Of June last, the Rev. Jacob
Knapp, addressed in the Presbyterian
church in the city of Schenectady, about
three hundred, who proiessrd recently 10
have obtained a hope in the p1rdoning
mercy of God, or were determined to
persevere until they obtained this hope
Among other good counsel and Christian
instruction impaired, he urged them never
to use any intoxicating liquors; and the
first opportunity to unite themselves with
a temperance society. "You may resolve
not to use any intoxicating drinks your
selves, said Mr. K. and keep your pledge,
but if you do not unite with a temperance
: society, you will be like the oblque and
single rays Of the sun, producing but
little light or heat, but by uniting in tenn
Perance associations you apply the sun
glass and bring these rays 10 focus, and
light and heat and effect is produced -
And all the hundreds, who were not be-
fore, pledged themselves by rising, not
. only to abstain from intoxicating liquors,
T but also 10 unite with temperance socie-
