WORTH KNow1NG.-On Friday last, a lit
tie son of Mr.. Saxton, in New York, drank
an ounce and half of spirits of turpentine,
carelessly left within his reach. He imme-
diately fell, his extremities became cold, his
face livid, and he waslapparently dead. Mrs.
Saxton, instantly got bottle of salad oil
from another room, broke off the top by
smashing it on the table and poured the con-
tents down the chld's throat. In ten min
utes the contents of the stomach were thrown
up and the child saved, although he suffered
dreadfully all night. The presence of mind
of the mother we'll deserved the precious re-
ward of the life of her babe, which would in
a quarter of an hour have been gone forever.
In all cases of poisoning let every body re-
member that liberal dose Of oil (any kindly

During the shower on Monday, a bolt of
lightning descended to the ground in the or
chard of James S. Tannett, about three miles
from this village. Mrs. Tannett felt the
shock very sensibly, and her hired girl was
so much affected by it as 10 be measurably
deprived of her reason. Deeming it neces-
sary to call physician for her, the little boy
went for the horse and found it lying dead

TRADE WITH THE NoRTH.-Snce the
opening OF the Miami Canal through to the
lakes, brisk trade has taken place between
Cincinnati and places which have heretofore
obtained their supplies from the East. A
single house, we are informed, made a sale
of $4,000 worth of groceries, taken by sin
gle boat. Dry goods and manufactured ar
ticles have also been taken in considerable
quantities by these new customers of the

CorNcIDENoE-During the gale on the
night of Sunday week, says the Howard
District (Indiaua) Press, a young hickory tree,
in full vigor in the garden of Mrs. Ellicott,
was entirely twisted off at the trunk. The
tree having been planted by Mr.. George Ell
lcott and father on the day of Gen. jack
sons election to the Presidency, it is cons-
dered somewhat remarkable that it should be
so suddenly destroyed on the night of his
dccease.

THE FIRE IN New YoRK.-The Journals
do not give an exact account of the number
Of deaths by the late terrible fire in New
York. Several persons are missing, and two
bodies have been discovered among the ru-
ins. The causes of the great destruction by
the fire are thus described in the New York
Evening Post:
There were two explosions which occurred
during the early stages of the fire, one of
which was undoubtedly the explosion of the
reservoir of gas in New street. The effects
of this explosion are 10 be seen in several
parts of the city in the neighborhood of the
fire wherever gas pipe opens near win
dow, there the glass is in many instances
broken by the shock. On the bursting OF
the reservoir the whole air was filled with a
mass of living flame, which in few instants
attached itself in various places to the sur
rounding buildings, and from this circum-
stance, mainly, ii was that the fire extended
itselffwith so much rapidity.
Mr. Crocker informed our reporter this
morning that there were thousand bags OF
saltpe tire in his store at the time it took
fire, and he also says that salt petre will burn,
but that it will not explode. One of the
morning papers, in speaking of the explo-
sion, says so awful was the shock that the
thick plate glass in nearly all the buildings
in Wall street was broken in fragments and
strewed over the pavement, in many instan-
ces the subtantial window sashes themselves
being broken in. The conclusion in this Of
fee, some three hundred yards distant, was
SO severe that the substantial stone walls of
the building shook to their foundations, and
it was thought for one moment that they
were tumbling to their base. The workmen
in the composing room in the fifth story
found the stone on which the form was max
ing up, rise several inches from its resting
place; the gas all went out instantly and du-
ring the darkness that followed, the scene
was, to say the least of it, an exciting one.
The workmen employed in the press and
engine rooms in the basement story, fully
believing that the entire building was about
to come upon them in mass, flew with rapid
strides into the street. Of course, however,
the CONSERVATION soon subsided. and it was
found after all, that the building had sus-
tanned no other injury than the loss of few
windows. The effects of this terrible ex-
plosion were more or less felt almost entire
iy over the eastern side of the city. Agen-
leman at this moment mentions to US that

THE WAY TO BUSINESS we
know not who, discourses thus sensiby Oh
the benefits of advertising:-
"Have you large stock of goods on
hand which you wish to reduce? Then no.
thing is easier than 10 do it. Only adver-
tise literally in your own paper, or, if your
feelings lead you that way, in the paper of
your neighbors, and the thing is done. De-
pond upon it, it is false economy to keep
all knowledge of what you have on hand
from the public, when the means of commu-
nicating such information may be obtained
SO cheaply.
We have always observed that those who
advertise most literally in the papers and
scatter their handbills most widely among the
people, are generally the most prosperous
in business. The reason is plain. People like
to be asked to buy, and that too, in polite
manner. For who if they can help it, will
deal with gruf, morose, vinega chap
who is too ill-natured to say with a bland
smile, Madam, shall show you this rich
silk or this beautiful figured de lane? or will
you try on this pair of fine flexible gloves?''
Nobody! Such man never advertises. Oh,
no! not he. He is as penurious of his mo-
neys as he is of his smiles 1t is only your
bland, affable and gentlemanly merchant,
who wishes every body success in their bu-
siness, and who tries hard himself to make
an honest living, that advertses. People
know this; and hence they look over the pa
pers to see where they can get the best bar
gain and de at the same time treated with the
courtesy and politeness which nobody of Or
dinary sense dislikes.

A New MAGNETIC TELEGRApH.-There
does really seem to be an electromagnetic
telegraph in the city of New York, which
prints common roman letters about as fast
as a compositor sets type. The editor of the
Evening Post speaks Of it as follows:
"We have seen specimen, of printing
done with the usual letters of the alphabet
and as legible to child as the clearest type
which was executed at one end of magnetic
wire, through direction given at the other
1t is true, as incredible as the statement may
seem to be, that man might, if the wires
were laid, now sit at New York, and, with
more rapidty than our best composition can
set type print at New Orleans letter or des-
pach in the ordinary letters of our language
