Caution to SaSgs.-A Memphis paper mentions
some recent exploits among the snags by the steamer
Heeopos. Sire was at work on the morning of the
10th, in front of that city, when she succeeded IN
striking several of those awkward river mpedments
raking them fore and aft tearing them to flinders, and
sinking them. No lives were lost The HcleopOIis
is an ugly customer to snags she goes right at them
under full steam, and leaves oK till she sinks

plays its game with it, by saving it in two, three

THE RECENT STORM.

The Reading Press of yesterday says: "The re-
cent heavy fall Of snow and equally heavy drifts on
the railroad tracks have RETARDED the progress
of travelling on the Philadelphia, Reading and Potts
vile Rail Road, considerably. Yesterday six loco
motives were constantly running up and down. toge-
Their with a number of teams aud snow ploughs,
which kept the tract pretty clear but not sufficiently
to enable train to depart without being clogged -
warm sun would clear it of faster than human in
gcnuity could devise which will no doubt shortly be
done"

The superiority of the MECHANIC AL LAMPS for par

almost exclusive in Paris, and throughout the
continent for thirty years past, and the great in
Of demand for them in New York and Phila
delphia since 1897 when the Depot in those cities
was established, is sufficient evidence of their great
utility.
Some improvements have lately been made in the
construction of the lamps, and they may be consider
ed the perfection Of IN, chansm. In order that par
ties pun chasing lamps may have confidence in their
performing all that is requisite, every lamp sold by
us will be warranted.
We are provided with a competent workman, who
will put in perfect order French Lamps of every des-
cription, and any Mechanical Lamp purchased at
either of the establishments at New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, at a triAing or no expense.
As many parties may not be of the fact, that
these lamps are in very general in New York for
Illuminating public buildings, (for which purpose
they are particularly adapted, il may not be out Of
