i The following tale, told by the Mont
gomery (Alabama) Advertiser, is another
evidence that "iruih is strange stranger
than fciion.
Some seven years ngoa gentleman
died in Georgia, leaving son about
fourteen years old, and property to the
amount OF about twenty thousand dollars
The executor, who had been particular
friend the old man, was about to place
| the BOY al school, with the intention al
giving him every opportunity Of enjoying
the benefit Of liberal education, when the
boy suddenly disappeared, leaving i, Ger
tain that he had gone off, but in wha,
direction or for what purpose was un-
known. The guardian wrote in every
direction begging his acquain,ances to
make inquiries and have a look out for
him. But no trace of him whatever
could be discovered Seven years pas
sed away and his fate still remained u
mystery to his friends A short time
since, however, MS guardian heard.irom
some person that he was seen within u
short distance from Mobile. Without the
slightest delay he started in pursuit of the
Young man, and found him in the neigh
borhood of the place where he had been
seen. He was engaged there in cutting
and hauling wood, had been engaged a,
the business several years, and had been
a steamboat hand on the river between
here and Mobile for ihrrc years. Ills
guardian t"ld him that he must come
home and take his property, for he could
mot take charge ot u any longer He
said he could no, leave then, as the man
for whom he had been working owed him

to his reasons for leaving home scvcn
years before, he said he did no, like to

CHINESE TooLs.-Though their iron work is no,
good yet their tools, such chisels, planes axes
&c. are excellent, and kept very sharp. They make
use OF the circular, instead Of the hand saw. They
have saw for particularly fine work, which, If we
had not seen them using, we should have imagined
the work had been done with chisel. The blade OF
il consists merely Of single piece Of brass wire,
Jagged with a sharp instrument The pattern TO be
carved is placed on the wood, and a hole bored
through IL, through which the wire is passed, and
made fast TO the handle, which is kept outside the
wood. The drawing is then cut with the greatest
care and accuracy For all rough work they make
use Of smaller sot of axe, slightly rounded on one
side. This answers the purpose of an adze.

Nrw Motive powER.-A new machine is now be-
ing exhibited in Philadelphia, for generating mo-
tive power from common air. Ii is the invention OF
Dr. Drake, Of that city, and the preston seems to
be that his success will be complete. The Ledger
describes its general appearance as a stationary
steam engine, with horizontal action without any
occasion for either The motive force of the engine
is generated in the cylinder ITSELF and acts immedi.
asel, upon the piston, by sudden and powerful ex-
pansion of common atmosphere. This Dir is admit
ted into the cylinder through pipe, the outer end OF
which is elevated and exposed, and furnished with
valve, viii admits the air to pass into the cylinder
rapidly il is consumed and passed off, On CON-
ing into the cylinder, the air is expanded by combus-
ton, produced by combination Of some chemical
preparation, which the inventor has no, yet planned
to the public, and any inAsmmabe material, such as
gas, OIL alcohol, &C. This expansion of the air, like
the admission Of steam into the cylinder in the steam
engine drives the piston forward and its rapid repe
iition, with the alienation Of escape and new ex-
pansons Of air, maintains the force of the machine,
The several parts Of the engine are nicely adapted to
each other and the whole may be regulated quite as
accurately, and, as the inventor thinks, with more
personal safety than the steam engine. DIR. Drake
has devoted several years to the invention Of this nc
power, and, like all discoverers has had to contend
against Prejudices and prophecies of failure.
