New MODE OF REsUsoITATIoN FROM
DRowNING.-The New York Observer cop
les the following from an English paper, 1.-THE
Worcester JournaD and the cause of hui
manity may be subserved by giving it an ex-
tended circulation.
"At the anual meeting of the Bristol
Eng Humane Society, the Soclety's sill
yer medal was presented to DR.. Fairbrother
of Clifton, for his exertions in recovering 0
boy who had been under the water in the
floating harbor a quarter of an nour, and
another Quarter of an hour had elapsed be-
fore the Doctor could operate on the body.
The most remarkable feature in this case
is new mode by which DR.. +. succeeded in
his laudable object; namely; by closing the
mouth with his fingers sucking off the fou
air from the lungs through the nostrils, and
promoting respiration by pressing in the
abdominal muscles on the side. The usual
method is to initiate the lungs; but it is very
seldom that persons are recovered by this
method, if they have been longer than few
minutes under water"

NEw SOURCE OF NATIONAL WEALTH.
The anthracite Farnnce.-The most remote
fear of success-the voice of the thousand
croakers, and the sage specu!ations Of those
who could have done $50 much better them
selves" are all stlled in reference to the An
thracite Furnace in our borough. Its sue
cess is triumphant beyond the most sanguine
hopes of the most ardent of Its well wshers.
In quantity, quality and economy, it pos
sesses superior advantages, and the enter
prise of those who have largely invested in
what was heretofore deemed an experiment,
is now we trust, to be repaid with handsome
profit. We are but poor theorists, and nc
practical iron men, but we have the autho-
rity of DR.. Geo. N. Eckert, whose long ex-
perience and skill in the business is known
throughout the state, when we assert that
this furnace has triumphed over difficulties
and accidents during the past fortni ght--
which would have chilled up any charcoal
works over and over again These difficult
ties have originated in the want of proper
ton of the engine, increased by some defect
or mismanage of the boilers. All, how
ever is now in order, and the hearth is tap
ped night and morning, yielding at each
time between 80 and &c pigs, (nearly three
tons) of as fine iron as we wish to see.-.Ni-

HoGs.--The Queen of the west has long
sustained the appelation of the Pork City,
in consequence of being a sort Of a reservoir
into which flows all, or most of the pork
which is slaughtered IN Ohio and Indiana,
and some parts of Kentucky. She has, in
fact, gained her title because some hogs Of
the most enormous size have been brought
to market, known to have beenraised in our
state. She must now forego her claim to
this distinction; she must yield palm, for we
saw little the "biggest swine" yesterday,
haIing from our neighbor state Kentucky
that ever we laid eyes upon. We have
heard tell Of offour-legged hogs and 0ree-Ieg.
ged hogs, and hogs with curly tails, and
we have seen pretty tolerabe sizedI hoo leg
ged hogs, but this out hogs all hogs the
western people have ever seen before.
1t weighs little upwards of 1 800 pounds;
think of that Master Brooks. What fall
there will be when he yields up the ghost.
His hog ship holds his eva for a few days
on the dornor Third and Sycamore streets,
where we presume, he will be happy to re-
ceive yisitors.-Cm. Cep.

AcCrDENrTo THE ILLINoIs.-This splend-
id boat left our harbor on Monday for the
upper Lakes, with cargo, full and rich, as
any taken this season. We regret to learn
that when off Madison dock, she broke her
shaft, which caused a arrangement of her
machinery, that will put her hors de combat
for the remainder of the season.
Her whole machinery is so much shatter-
ed, that $4,000 will be required to replace
it. After the accident, her sails were used
to carry her to Grand River, point in Ohio,
30 miles east of Cleveland, where she now
lies.
One of our largest boats has been order
ed up to take her cargo and proceed to Chi

FOREIGN ITEMs.--The state Of the money
market in England remains unchanged.
The weather has continued unfavorable
for the crops, and there's now certainty
of their being short. Grain is rising.
The suspension of specie payment by the

aud, to prevent drain of specie to the con-

The cotton market in England is rather
more active, and East India has risen.
There is a strong current of emigration
setting from England to Texas.
1t is most probable that the short crop Of
