An apparatus has been introduced into one
of the manufactures in Pittsburg, by which
the smoke that usually passes out of the
chimney is consumed. The general intro.
duction Of such in every factory would be a
real blessing to that smoke blackened city,
and would convince the good people there
that atmospheric air is quite as wholesome
in its ordinary state, as when thickened by
the addition of one fourth coal smoke. The
establishment into which the apparatus is in
troduced, saves by it twenty five bushels Of

Had protested reformers but half as much
worldly wisdom as those who oppose them.
their newspapers would not be suffered tc
I%anguish for want Of support. Among The
first lessons which Wings and Democrats
and all the sectarians learn, is the necessity
of sustaining the papers which advocate theiI
views and disseminate their principles. Blu
with all classes of reformers, the very las
