Advantages OF Science.

The Lynn (Mass.) Freeman, says Mr..
Holbrook, Of Midway, the celebrated bell-ioun-
der, who has put up clock upon the Baptist
church in this town last week, gave us little
incident of his life which is worth relating, II
for nothing more than TO show the Importance
of knowledge of chemistry. An immense
pile of cinders and dross had accumulated near
his foundry. which was supposed TO be entirely
worthless, and was used 10 Sill up stone walls,
&c. foreigner who happened 10 be IN town,
examined the pile one day, and offered 800
for it. So large price excited Mr.. C.'s sas-
piclon that the cinders might contain valuable
metal, and he declined selling it. The man
then offered $500, which Of course confirmed
his opinion, and after lule parley, the s,ran-
ger acknowledged ,ha, he was acquainted with
a process by which valuable metal nigh. be
extracted from the cinders, which he offered 10
divulge FOR small compensation. A furnace
and apparatus were constructed according TO
his direction, and when the whole pile was
run through, the mass Of neglected rubbish

New Hinge for Window shutters.

Mr. R. b. Warden, of Baltimore, has invented a
hinge for window shutters, of an entirely new
style, which will eventually throw out the old
fashioned ones now in use They are designed 10
be stronger than the hinges ordinarily used, and
are so constructed that when the shutter IS open,
a small pin, made for the purpose, will ehectually
prevent the shutter from being blown about by the
wind and when shut, the insertion of the same pin
into the hinge, prevents the shutter from being
opened. 1t can be furnished as cheap as those in
ordinary use, besides which the cost of the tasten
ing in the wall to hold tbs shutter back as well as
the cost Of the bolt or spring, is saved. The ne
cessity of Protruding the arm out OF the window
to fasten the shutter back, is also avoided.

From The Boston Courier.
HON. GEO. EVANS

IL is now, | believe, no more than six years
since George Evans first took his seat in our
national councils and, certainly, no star ever
eliminated with more dazzling rapidity. And
the ustre Of his career is Of an enduring quality.
As dcbater, he has never been excelled-as a
logical speaker, seldom; while the earnestness
OF his manner, and the sincerity Of his tones.
conquer the obdurate, and confirm the doubling.
Over a fancy, as sparkling as luxurious, he
throws the curb Of sober judgment; and never
would he sacrifice true to beautiful thought.
OF financial matters, he possesses and lavishes
an infinite fund Of knowledge and the manner
IN which he discusses them evinces as much de-
sire TO nlorm, as ability 10 instruct. lie would
preside over the fiscal affairs Of the Government
with as much talent as could be commanded.
Men, otlenlme., Of bold and striking con-
ceptions, are rash in their application, and awk.
ward in their expression. Not so with him
With The genius to originate, he has The tsIen,
to manage and the happy faculty Of popuiaris-
ing, truth. And The seldom co-exislent DUAL.
ties fertile Imagination, and seyerest ratocina-
ton in him arc tremendously blended Those
rare qualities, which glow with the greatest
beauty, when united, and shine with the most
brilliant lustre, when opposed characterize all
bis productions.
