Amarican Wool.

Peter A. Browne, of Philadelphia, in a
communication to the Richmond (Va.)
Wing asserts that he can show that "as
fine fleece can be produced in the United
States as in any portion Of the world"
He says that he has in his possession wool
grown in Allegheny county, Penn'a, by
VIM Hall, which measure from l,21SG to
2,2500 part of a inch, while the finest wool
in the collection sent to by the king of
Prussia, and the finest among the specimens
sent to him by the king Of Saxony, meas,
ure 1,21S6. Mr. Browne denies the cor.
rcctness of the decision on this subject at
the London Crystal Palace Exhibition,
and produces facts to show that the jury
on wool did injustice to the specimens Of
American wool exhibited.

Confessions of a Politician.

Mr.. SHAW, amember of the New York
Legislature, in thecourse Of a recentspeech,
gave the following amusing sketch of his
political career, His course has, to be
sure, been somewhat devious, but he
seems, nevertheless, TO have been directed
throughout by principle and, after all,
parties may have changed more than he,
and his plea Of consistency be not so alb
surd as the I" laughter" indicated.

THE CoPPER-RoLLrNG MAcnIENRY at the
Washington Navy Yard is now in full OPP
Grafton, and works admirably, under the
supcrintendcnce of Mr.. Nully.
All the old copper, including scraps, is
sent to this point from the various navy
yards throughout the country, for the
purpose, principally, of being manufac-
tured into sheets for sheathing, instead OF
being sold, as heretofore, TO private indi-
viduals; and thus an immense saving is
effected to the General Goyernmentin this

New WESTERN PAss.--Col. MILES. Of

ton to the Fort Smith (Ark.) Herald
that new pass through the mountains in
New Mexico has been discovered, by
means OF which San Francisco can be
reached by journey Of twenty-five
days for loaded wagons" from Albuquer,
que. The Herald SaPposes it to be the
one known as Walkers Pass, and con.
siders it as settling the question about the
route for the Pacific Railroad. This
question, we think, can only be settled
by the several surveys authorized BY the
last Congress.

Fire.

At about half past eleven o'clock, on
Friday the twenty second inst, our Citi-
zens were alarmed by the cry Of fire /;
which was soon ascertained to proceed
from the dwelling house, occupied by DR..
J. W. Laird, and in very few moments
the whole was enEeioped in flames The
utmost exertions were made to save the
furniture and effects of Mr. Laird, and a
a widow Lady by the name of Tyler, who
occupied one room of the dwelling, which
in part proved successful. 1t was soon
ascertained that the buildings, on the op-
posite side of the street were momentarialy
in danger of taking fire, as the wind blew
directly across the street, ladders were
quickly procured and by means Of blan-
ket's spread upon the roof and kept
constantly wet those buildings were say
ed. Had the FIRE crossed the strcot large
portion Of our Town would have been laid
in ashes. Our Citizens deserve much
credit for their great exertions, in staying
the devouring element, particularly the
Ladies, who were first to repair to the
scene OF action, and exerted themselves
with heroic courage, throughout. The
loss cannot be accurately ascertaned, but
supposed to be about one thousand dol
lars. The building destroyed, was the
property Of II. c, Hoffman, no iRsuF-
ance.

LIGHTNING RoDs.-Considerable ex> citement has been lately produced in Newark, N. J.. by the fact that house was struck which had good lightning rod upon it. The bolt struck the rod, and passed from it to the house. The rod to all appearance. was as well con- structed as such instruments ever are. Upon examination, it was found that the rod had been covered with thick coat of white paint, and that the lightning had passed down the rod until it met the paint, when it was turned one side and followed the nails of the shingles into the house. Care should be taken that the lightning rod has no covering of paint.
