DAGUERREoTynNG-An improvement in che Art
discovery the art of Daguerreotyping has lately
been made by Mr. Jones, in Baltimore. The discove-
~ consists in new method of taking daguerreoypes
which renders the impression indellibly fixed upon the
plate, and not liable to be defaced by handling--in-
deed they may be rubbed with cloth without receiv.
ing the slightest injury. One great advantage re-
sultng from this invention is that kenesses can be
taken on copper plate washed with silver for the pur-
pose of being engraved upon. In this way the artist
is enabled to follow the most minute line of the pic
ture. and thus secure engraving faithful as the
doguerreotype ITSELF

BALANCE OF TRADE.-The New York Journal Of
Commerce thus illustrates the manner In which an
apparent balance may be made to appear against
foreign trade:
"The Boston merchants have shipped in the last
three months, IA 1886 of ice. costing nothing.
The books Of the custom house, when the proceeds Of
the ice are brought back, will show much balance
against the country. We export cargo wtlsh costs
nothing, and import in payment cargo q value.
For doing such things, and for generally bringing
back more than it carried away. trade accused
and convicted of impoyerishing nations. One would
think that any body could have seen through such
deluson; yet highly respected race did not see
through it until some hiteen years ago: few scales
have fallen from the public eyes this century. but
there are many which still stick fast; and thousands
Of DOCTORS interested men, who still very earnest
y employed in trying to make the remaining scales
stick, and ''pulling wool" over the places where
scale falls off.

Mt. Sterling. May 6, IS4s.}
MEssRs. EDIToRs-0n Friday morning last, about
o'clock destructive hurricane passed over the
northwest part Of this county sweeping every
thing in It's way. The dwelling house Of Mrs.
Mitchell, widow lady, torn down, and Mrs.
Mitchell and Mrs. Anderson, daughter Of Mrs. NJ,
instantly killed; and young Mr.. Mitchell, who was
IN the barn near the house, severely injured by the
falling timber, as to preclude all hopes of his recove-
ry. He has been insensble since the accident. The
wife OF 8 Mitchell, Esq of Mt Sterling, in the
house, but escaped without any material injury
Mrs. Mitchell, when taken out was severely burned
on the arms breast aud face, having fallen IN the
fire; and Mrs. Anderson's neck, arms and legs were
broken, and her body horribly bruised
The house was torn down to the foundation and
nearly all the furniture and clothing was carried Off
even the females were stripped of their clothing.
Some of our citizens who have visited the place,
inform me that the plantation is perfect wreck
every building and nearly all the fencing down,
trees taken up by the roots and others twisted off,
Some Of the bricks of the house were carried from
to 300 yards. Shingles were found seven miles from
the place, aud the tomb stone of Mr.. MITCHELL which
weighs thousand pounds, carried twenty feet
and turned round. Every human being on the place
was more or less injured
The dwelling house Of Mr.. Kemper, a short dis
lance from Mrs. Mtcbells, taken off to the Sc
cond story, and SO completely Quilted the first story
as to render 1t utterly useless. Mr.. K. standing
in front of the building when the storm came up,
ried the house, and dropped without receiving
much injury. None of his family seriously injured
After thIs hear of no further destruction.
The deaths of Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Anderson
are deeply amented in this community. Surrounded
by all the comforts of life, in the enjoy Of good
health, in the twinkng of an eye, they were called
to try the realities Of another worldl But their pious
lives and devotion to the of their Master give
strong evidence of the change that awaited them.
Yours, &c., R. R. LINDSEY.

NOVEL SHIPMENT.-On Saturday we noticed at the
wharf fat boat load of band or bonnet boxes Up
inquiry learned that the boat and cargo belong
ed to MIR. Lawrence Bailey, an enterprising down.
easter, who has recently established mandatory at
Dresden, Ohio, and gone into the box speculation
pretty extensively. Making more than he could sell
conveniently at home, he started down the river few
weeks since with the atboat load consisting of $40
dozen. They are manufactured of wood and covered
with fancy colored paper very neat in appearance
light, strong, and answering all the purposes of the
tasteful fashionable articles of the kind to
be found in our millinery stores. The beauty Of Mr.
Bailey's enterprise is, that his boxes are made by
machinery, sawed out. cut, papered, and pasted in
no time. The mandatory, we are told, turns out
near hundred dozen boxes daily, and they
being shipped to every port of the western country.
few days since a large lot was sent to ST. Louis,
and sold at ss2-25 per dozen. The manufacturers
price is S2.0O for different sizes. We would invite
those of our fancy dealers who in want of such
article to 90 down and take look at Mr. Baieys
stock. The sight is worth seeiDg.-Lou. Courier.

CAPTAIN FORD, Sd, Dragons.

~ Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says
ga letter received in this city, night before last
from Mexico stating that the treaty fod not be rail-
fled, except by minority of Congress, and that the

ing the chances of ratification have diminished them
and it is now asserted positively / have stated
above, in the letter refer to- that the treaty as amend
ed, will not be concurred in. ] consider this good
authority; and will inform you that it is the
that which declared. two weeks before we received
the project of treaty, that treaty would be made
aud submitted to this government. will say further,
that this letter came through the British Embassy in
this city $50 yss sa1y sssured That if it has been
possible for any mischief be accomplished by the
agents of England in Mexico towards the defeat of
the treaty, it has been done.

Sic TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI.-Hhe Washington
correspondent of the N. Y. Observer states fact that
illustrates the fleeing character of human glory
than any thing that has lately under notice.
1t is this. When Writ died the national metropo-
lis in the prime of his powers. and the zenith of his
popularity his political friends solicited of the rea-
atves of the deceased the privilege of retaining the
body in the Receiving Tomb, until they could erect
suitable marble monument. The request was granted.
But perhaps who talked most in favor of the en-
terprise were not equally forward in contributing to-
ward it, At any rate the body left in the public
tomb, despite many notices from the sexton, until the
period limiting the time Of such deposits establish
ed by law, had expired. Shortly before this period
the gentleman who had been most prominent in the
measure, died and the sexton removed and inferred
the remains of Writ; but he himself soon after
died or disappeared, no now point out the
spot where the dust of the talented christian states
reposes. He has, indeed, in the hearts Of thou
sands Of. his c0untrymen, monument more enduring
than brass MARBLE but his history affords in
