NEASON'S PATENT PURIFIED
NI Snerm OIL

This Oil, for briliiancy, durability, and purity as
light and for lubricating purposes, whether applied
to the delicate works of watch the most ponde-
rous machinery, surpasses any oil now known.
It is warranted not to gum, being entirely deprived
of that substance which seriously impedes the
pid movement of all kinds of machinery; and for
burning it is cheaper and better than any esgnous
substance now in use.
While it affords light superior to gas or eamphine
it is also free from the dangerous explosive quality
of the latter, being solely sperm oil purified.
So pure is this oil that 1t will not freeze any de-
gree of cold known within the limits of the United
States having thereby in this in every other par
ticuar, advantage over the best sperm oil as
used s--.-#..rt
After devoting many years in experimenting with
the various oils, for the purpose Of overcoming their
impurities at present fabricated, the undersigned
the public that he has succeeded in producing
the plus ultra" of oils He offers it as superior
to any known oil in the world for the purposes Of
burning and lubricatng, and invokes the scientific
of all countries to test it and pronounce their opinion
satisfied that all will agree that it Is the finest oil
ever offered for sale

A popular writer in the Knicksrbocker
Magazine thus describes the destiny and
use of pigs, in style so Lam5-like that
one cannot help relishing it as he would
slice of the best of bacon:
"Piggy does not march to his execution
with the silent, logged resolution of con-
demned criminal, but invariably with
resistance of the strong police, and immense
lamentations AS he always went contrary
when driven, from the time of the ringing
Of his roofing snout, he now uses his vast
muscular energy to take his own part, and
issues squealing protest against being
killed. He resists with all his might, as
he is dragged, pulled, and pushed along to
slaughter. But Piggy should reflect that
he is not the only animal who must eat
His destiny is compound: To EAT AND BE
EATEN. The first part he has fulfilled, &C
cording to his nature. For the latter he is
not responsible.
"You will now see him Invested of his
bristles, washed as white as snow in
scald-bath, and strung up by the heels, with
his jaws stretched apart by dry corn-cob.
The next morning, frozen as hard as
rock, he will be- stored with other produce
in wagon, with his hoofs sticking out
from beneath blanket, while the country
man, his head crouched on his shoulder to
protect him from the northeast wind or a
driving snow-storm, slowly wends his way
to market. His final sepulchre is the hui
man stomach. He whose habitation was So
lately pig-sty, and his foot in the trough,
whose aspect was most beastly, most hid
eous, will soon become part of fine lords
and fine ladies' and no doubt enter-I say
1t without disrespect- the grand maui
solemn of the President of the United
States. Behold the Senator expound the
Constitution! Behold the Judge upon the
bench For some part of his composition
he is indebted to the sty!'

The Exhibition.

We are pleased to see the preparations
for the Exhibition going on with such alac-
rity, and to learn that there is every reason
to look for large and handsome display.
The scaffold has been removed from the hall
IN the new wing of the Patent Office build
ing, and we can now appreciate its magnifi-
cent proportions. Well filled with the pro-
auctions OF eur national industry, appropri-
ately and tastefully arranged, brilliantly il
Illuminated with gas lights, enlivened by
music from fine band, (for which we un-
derstand arrangements are in progress, J the
first exhibition Of our Metropolitan Institute
will doubtless be an elegant and successful
affair, creditable alike to the Institute and
to the city. The list of depositors already
large, shows the names of great numbers Of
our first merchants, manufacturers and arti-
Fans, the heads of several bureaus, as well
as numerous contributors from the States.
The department of machinery bids fair to
be one of great and varied interest. The
ladies, without whose aid no such enterprise
ever succeeds, are lending helping hand,
and the corporation we hear, is about to give
its official sanction to the undertaking.
1t is very important that the managers
should know as soon as possible all that is
to be exhibited, in order that they may ar
range the space accordingly. We therefore
advise all who intend to exhibit to make ap-
plication at an early day, in order to secure
good position. Those who come first will
of course have the best chance. The cor
responding secretary (Mr. Stansbury) is al
ways to be found at his office in the Patent
Office building.

P. Barton Key, ESQ.,, chairman of the

Association of Washington, announces the
affair in the Union, which paper says:
every American feels just pride when
he reads the history of the deeds that were
enacted thirty-six years ago, on the plains
OF Chalmette but the ceremonies of the
eighth of January, 1858, have peculiar
interest to all who cherish the memory of
Andrew Jackson. The equestrian statue in
honor of the hero will be inugurated that
day-a work which is worthy of the man it
represents. By the kindness of Mr.. Mills,
the artist, we have been permitted to see
the labor of his hands; and without hesita-
ton we now predict that the statue of An
drew jackson, made by him, will be consid-
cred great and leading fact in the history
of art-not in the United States alone, but
in the world. The idea is new and with

"a terrible explosion occurred on last
Friday night at the new Gas Works in
Woonsocket, by which two men were shock
ingly burnt, and portion of the works
completely destroyed. 1t appears the acct
dent occurred in this wise:-There was a
leakage of gas in the purifying house, and
the Waterman in charge incautiously went
to the door s0ith lantern, and probably
entered, or was about to do SO, when the
gas ignited, and terrific explosion ensued.
The building, which was of stone, was
blown entirely to pieces. 1t is a wonder
the men were not instantly killed; as it
was, both were very badly hurt. It is sup
posed one of them cannot recover. Their
names, as we are informed, are Patrick
