CAN INTERNAL MACHIEE!'-The follow
ing true story is new veriication OF the old
adage, that "truth is stranger than fiction"
A few weeks ago, Gen. Pierce received n
suspicious looking box, per Cheney's Ex-
press, from the West. Supposing from his
exalted position that some wicked Wing, or
"fanatica abotionIsl' might be plotting
his destruction, he very naturally regarded
this as an internal machine, intended to land
him in glory before his time. Not feeling
any great partiality for such an apotheosis,
he ordered this new Pandora's box to be
slowed away in the barn, "unsisht unseen" +"
and strictly forbade any one to go near 1t.
Thus itssremained some. days, until one Sun
day, when nobody was at home save Mr..
W., the Generals boarding master, who be-
ing exercised thereto by a courageous and
Iau dable curiosity, determined 10 solve the
"infernal mystery" Accordingly, seizing
along-handled axe and placing himself at a
rational distance he hurled the iron weapon
with full fury into the box. After waiting
| in breathess expectation for the machine
to explode, Mr. w. approached it, and dis
covered--(hor dictumDtwo braces ofre

need only add that the only thing. ."infer
nal" about the "machine" was an inodoroui

A TEMPERAKcE CoMMUEITY.--Thutin intoX-
icating liquors are drank to some little ex-
tent in Ironton is not to be denied, yet it is
a temperance town. The liquor restrictions
upon the town lots prevent the traffic here,
and our citizens as whole probably come
nearer totul abstinence from a II intoxicating
drinks than those Of any other town in the
West--and what IS the consequence!
Why that we have here, all INCLUDED, the
most prosperous people we ever saw
North, South, East or West Every man
is bettering his condition; and it is a, fact
worthy of notice that 1ronton has grownup

zen Of the town has ever to this Gay had any
property, real or personal, sold by the sheriff

MAIZE Law BY Horse PowER.-A story
is told Of trick played in a neighboring
town, (of Massachusetts, by some extreme
y thirsty individuals, for securiDga a drink.
Tie object of the trick was to get some
liquor out Of the town agent, and it was
highly successful. They procured an old
horse and "stood him. in barn. One Of
the number w-nt TO the town agents prem
ises, and, he being absent, "a pint of gin for
sick horse" was procured OF his wife,
I This amount was soon exhausted, and the
horse grew worse again ,anda quart was wan
ted. When this was gone after, the agent
had returned. He dealt out the quart, and
went to see it administered. The thirsty
individuals saw him coming, or learned Of his
approach, and fell to rubbing the poor horse
most powerfully Finally, it was decided
to take the liquor to an apothecarv, to have
some drugs put into it,as it had not done much
good thus far, and the individual conveying
| the treasure made his way TO another barn,
I TO which. one after another, followed him,
the agent at least being left nearly alone
After that gentleman had been led through
various adventures, the consciousness dawn
ed upon him that he had been humbugged,
and he made his way home. The horse re-
covered and the doctors all had the headache
the next day .--Spriqgfed Rpubtcdn.

STEAM FIRE ENGIKE.-A second trial OF
this invention has lately been had in Gin
cinnati, and it is said with eminent success.
Among other advantages, it can throw a SOL
id stream of water to the distance of224 feet,
and a vast body.of steam can be passed OF
which is of great utility in confined rooms
where water would cause much damage. 1t
is certainly, if the accounts Of the trial are
correct, a valuable invention.

TURNING THE TABLE ExPERIMENT.-This
is all the rage now. Ii was tried success
fully the other evening in West Chester
The editor of the Watch T6lrsr, at Doyles-
town, however gives the best story we have
yet seen. Hear him: ...
"Four of US sat down round a small cherry
table, about two and u half feet square,
one on each side, and placed our hands upon
it lightly, palm down, alternately top and
bottom, your right hand on your left. We
set in this posture for twenty minutes, laugh
ing and talking with those in the room, when
we felt the table to be gradually moving
round. We then got up from our chairs
to be al liberty to follow it: soon the speed
increased, and then was seen the laughable
exhibition of table whirling round the room
and four gentlemen running after it. We
kept our hands on it as before, and in the
course Of three or four revolutions, the velo-
city Ind become SO great as TO create dzzi-
ress IN the head
When it commenced moving we exerted
our force to stop it, but found it would go on
in spite of US, and when we had been whirled
to our satisfaction, we jumped upon it aud
stopped it.
Shortly afterwards we tried the expert
ment again, with the same persons, and the
table cut the same caper in sixteen min
utes.

OPERATIONS OF U. S. MINT, ls52.--The
treasurer of the Mint has furnished the Phil
adelphia papers with the operations of that
institution Tor the month of December, and
for the year past. The gold by the last
California steamer, though in New York on
the morning of the 3lst, did not reach the
Mint. Had she arrived one day earlier,
the deposits for the month would have been
alb ,ut six i9illious, andfor the year, nearly
! s j4.0OO,O00 AS it j., thl ugh the depos
its of gold at The Mint for the year are
: ONE three mil iuns in excess of the de-
| posits there in 1851, the deposits at all
| the miats of tho United States are some six
or seven millions less. The coinage OF
! 90 Id at the parent minti5 also less than in
1851. BY running the eye over the table,
