ROCKY HILL, NEAR PRINCETON, Sep 6, 1882.
GENTLEMEN In Bradford's Gazette of the

OF person who wants employment as miller,
referring to you for his character. If this is
such as in all points of view | could approve, it
Is very likely might employ him at my Mills
IN Virginia, ten miles from Alexandra.
My present miller, who has lived with me
thirteen or fourteen years, and who, perhaps, uu-
derstands the manufacture of wheat as well as
any miller upon the continent, and who, believe
IS also an honest man, is become so unfit for the
trust reposed in him by his addiction to iqlor.
which moi only keeps him intoxicated MANY DAYS
upon stretch, but absent also from the mills,
that, however reluctantly do it, | shall be in
duced to part with him. if ! can meet with man
who could bring ample testimonials of his skill
his honesty, his sobriety and industry.
These qualities must be well ascertained be-

Havlng been thus particular with respect to
my mill and my wants, I shall thank you gen,le-

would not answer my purpose, or should hU be

IMPROVEMENT IN SCISSORS AND SHEARS
Mr. John c. Symmes, of the city OF Troy, N.
Y, has invented, and taken measures to secure
patent for an Improvement in scissors, which
consists in constructing the pivot or axis of the
two cutting jaws, in such manner that the
edges of the shears redrawn together sideways
in cutting, and all inconvenience arising from
ooseness of the pivot in the ordinary scissors, is
obyiated. The edges of the scissors blades are
also formed .longitudinally, in such manner
that they always meet atthe same angle through.
out their whole length in cutting, thereby pro.
ducing a smooth, even cut of any length.

A temple for pagan worship has been opened
at San Francisco by the Chinese. This is the
first idol temple that has been erected in this
country since those days in the dim and misty
past when the ruins recently discovered by
Stephens, in Central America, were populous
with a great and highly advanced nation, whose
name and fate are now unknown.
