Another Great DiSe5Tsry-&HsitiTe GlaSS.
We had occasion some time since
to say something about the Druids
and their worship. The gentleman
who is getting up and arranging the
mysteries and ceremonies for the Dru-
deal exhibition, is well known 10 us
as a practical chemist, but as he
does not wish to appear before the
public until the proper time we with
hold his name, but take liberty Of
speaking Of the wonderful process OF
science.
The person alluded TO spent some
weeks in Pittsburg in endeavoring 70
produce the magical glass Of the
Druids, but did not succeed. The
experiments have been continued here,
and the Druidish musical tones, from
tubes Of glass, are perfect and make
sweet harmony But the sensitive
glass gobleis are the most wonderful.

the population is $500, including for

There are, according to the census,
