SEVERE INyuRY.-We neglected to n o.
tice incur last issue, very serious in
Jury sustained week before last by one
of our mechanics, Mr.. Thomas CARING
house, at the new mill of Adams and
Baldwin. Mr.. G. with several others,
was engaged ia raising bent of the
building, lifting at the time with his
shoulder against the corner post, when
the timbers slipped at the bottom and fell
with their whole weight on him. He
was taken up insensible,and lay for some
days in very precarious condition; but
we are happy to learn is now nearly re-
covered.

The River Improvement.

We are indebted 10 JESSE WILL
LIAMs, Esq, for copy Of the "Report
of s. r. CURrIs, ESQ.,, Engineer of the
Des Moines River Improvement" set
ting forth the doings in that department,
the past year. The report is accompa-
MED by a well executed and valuable
map and profile of the river and the i'm
provement in its whole extent, as survey
ed to the Raccoon Forks, drawn by VIM.
Dewey, Esq. The great importance of
the subject matter of this report, indu-
ces us at some Inconvenience this week,
TO subjon the following extracts and sta
tistics, reserving such remarks as we may
be inclined to make for future occa-
sion.
The report commences with a state
ment of the difficulties which contrac-
tors have had to contend with the past
year, occasioning great delay and embar.
rassment. Still much has been donc.-

Contractors have not become discoura-
ged, and none have turned away. The
whole length of the river from the mouth
to Fort Des Moines is 2O4.6S. Length
Of Navigation 1888. Length of canal
ing 2O.37. Distance saved, 81 miles,
Number of Dams on the whole Improve
ment to the Forks, %. Number of
Locks 80.
The following statement exhibits the
condition of the first Id sections and sul-

OTTUMWA WORKS.

1.-The dam below Ottumwa lat Sugar
creek) is designed to raise the water
over the rocky bed of the river in front
of this town, as have said in my for
mer report. Here the river makes
strong curve to the South, so that can
al one mile in length, running almost due
West, strikes the river at another angle
where the stream resumes its general Iii
rection North West. The water is to
be turned into this canal by dam erect
cd on the rocky ripple few rods below
the upper end of the canal, and opposite
large island. Making sufficient spill
TO pass all the water of the river on the
East side of this island, dixie is then to
be extended from the West end across
the West channel, to the bluff; so that no
water shall pass except it fall over The
dam on the rock foundation which we
find convenient on the East side. The
canal commences at the upper end, in the
edge of the prairie, where the cutting is
ten feet; and following the declining sur
face, the line soon falls into ravine which
we pursue, SO that one embankment, on
the South side of this rayine, is all that
is required to make the canal. By keep
ing out from the bank, which forms the
natural North side. we secure near the
lower end commodious basin, which
will accommodate the business of the
place; and connect with the rock level
in front of the town, so as to secure an
excellent location for our lock, and also
furnish good foundation for mills which
can be erected below the lock. This
lock will have lift, according to this ar
rangement, of 7 36-lOO feet; affording an
excellent water power, at point OF much
importance in this part of the State"

I T, I
An extraordinary substance found in of rock in
Sharon, Akron Ohio which forms artificial slate,
covering preferable to any other for roofs Of houses,
whether made of shingles matched boards tn zinc sheet
iron, or THICK paper.
When mixed with Linseed Oil in sufficient quantity to
form thick paint after few months exposure ltbecomes
perfect slate protecting whatever IS covered from the
action OF the weather and fire.
For railroad cars and buildings and indeed for any pur
pose where ndestuctble covering is needed will be
found invaluable.
For covering the ends of houses las with ordinary paint
which are exposed to the weather and for preventing
dampness from soaking through the walls it will be found
better than any other paint 1t cheaper than lead and is
infinitely better for the purpose for which it lie recon-
mended
The proprietor was in this city few months since with
specimens, and then received fattering Communications
from the press, and others.

ADVERTISING. The New York Tribune, in
a abored article on Reform in Trade, gives the
following hints in regard to the item of advert-
sing:
We have remarked that extensive advertising
IS one OF the means by whichlhe Reform in trade
lsto be accomplished. The two classes, buyers
and sellers, have common interest in finding
each other; that is TO say it is the interest OF him
who can supply certain want cheapest to have
every buyer aware OF the fact; and il is the in
terest OF the buyer no less. An expenditure OF
htty dollars may be too much, one OF FIVE thou.
sand may be too little for that purpose. If, for
example, somebody has discoveries we see 1t
stated in southern paper substance or chem
ica compound which will dispense with the la
Dor now required in washing clothes, or the half
OF it, at very small cost, the owners Of this pa
tent may spend fifty thousand dollars a year in
Advertising it, and then not spend enough -
There are inventions within our knowledge worth
hundreds OF thousands il the patentees know how
and had the enterprise to bring them home to
the knowledge of all Interested; these FILLING
they will never realize twenty thousand.
Whoever supply this city cheapest with
almost any article in general use, or can cheapy
furnish an article which will meet general
want hitherto more extensively met, cannot ad-
vertise too much ifhe knows how to advertise at
all. And yet many a dealer in our city pays a
thousand dollars more for an egibly located
store than he edpay in less trequcnted street,
and does not pay hundred dollars year for sd
veruslng! He willingly pays thousand dollars
merely to let some ten thousand people know
that he has certain articles to sell but grudges
one hundred dollars as the cost OF extending the
same knowledge to millions.
