DEVELOPMENT OF FRAUp.-Every now
and then the facts are elected which serve to
explain how some of the "fast young men,"
are enabled to make so much show on mod
crate salaries Here is another instance, as
related by the New York Journal of COM
merce
An old established iron manufacturing firm
found itself seriously embarrassed in its linan-
ces, and has just been obliged to make an as
Segment to its creditors. Upon mn exami-
nation of the business accounts it was dis
covered that tho clerk, who had devoted con-
sicrabc time to sailing yachts and trotting
fast horses, and finally sailed for Europe on
pleasure trip, had been unfaithful to tho
trust conldcd him. Among other contrivan-
ces for lining his pockets, he had been accus-
toned, each payday, to set apart considcra-
bio amount MS the share of wages due to
workmen who had not been in tho employ
of the concern for a year past, and appro.
priatcd the same MS he saw fit.

Sweetwater Oct. 8, 1854.

Quito an excitement occurred at Provi.
dence, r. l., on Tuesday, in consequence Of
strange freak of an old man named Lyman
Halves. The track of the Providence and
Worcester Rail Road runs through land
which formerly belonged to him, and the price
of this land had been assessed by commits.
sioners at valuation which he refused to
accept. To-day he placed small house
erected by himself upon both tracks, in
which he put several kegs which he said con-
tanned powder, and then fastened himself
inside by mailing up every entrance toit.
The Boston and Providence train, and
the Providence and Worcester train were, MS
they came along, brought to n stand still by
the obstruction, and detained for nearly two
hours. The old fellow swore that if they
attempted to run the engine through the
house, he would fire the powder and blow
every thing around him to atoms. After n
long delay, during which the crowd incrcas.
cd to over thousand people, the North
Providence and Providence police arrived
when they fell to work, and with well directed
blows, sooned smashed the doors of the
house in and then seized the old man. 1t
was with difficulty ut first that the crowd
could be kept from injuring him. Hc was
hurried away to Jail. The crowd then at
tackled the house, snd soon made complete
wreck it. About half keg of powder
only was found.

WHIsKEY AND NEwsPAPERs.-A glass of
whiskev is manufactured from perhaps Il
dozen grains of mashed corn, the value of
which is too small TO be estimated. Il pint
Of this mixture sells at retail for one shilling,
and Of good brand, it is considered by its
consumers well worth the money. 1t is drank
off in minute or two-it fires the brain
rouses the passions-sharpens the appetite
deranges and weakens the physical system: it
is gone-and swollen eyes, parched lips, an
aching head are its followers On the same
sideboard upon which this is served, lies n
newspaper, the new white paper of which cost
three-fourths ola cent-the composition for
the whole edition costing from ten to fifteen
dollars per day. 1t is covered with half a
million of types, it brings intelligence from
the four quarters of the globe-it has in its
clearly printed columns all that is strange or
new at home-it tells you the state of tho
market-gives accounts of the last elopement
the execution of the last murderer-and the
latest steamboat explosion or railroad disas.
ter-and yet for all this, the newspapers costs
less than the glass of grog-the juice of few
grains of corn. 1t is no less strange than
true, that there are large portion of the
community who think the corn juice cheap
and the newspapers dear, and the printer has
hard work to collect his dimes, when the H.
quor dealers are paid cheerlully.
How is this. Is the body better pay
master than the head, and are things of the
moment more priced than things of eternity
Is the transient tickling of the stomach of
more consequence than the Improvement of
the soul, and the information that is essential
to rational being! lfthis had its real value,
would not the newspaper be worth many pints
of whiskey.

A TEST FOR COPPER OREs.-For the ben
eft of those who may have ores in the
possession, but have not sufficient knowl
edge of chemistry to test them, we publish
the following tsst, lately communicated tc
the American Presbyterian by J. NJ. Sanford
a practical mineralogist. 1t may be usefu
to many persons in those sections where
copper ore is supposed to exist as it will en-.
able them to test such specimens MS may
come in their way without difficulty.
The following mode of detecting copper
will be found to be simple and effective, and
by carefully attending to the different steps
in the process, any one who can procure a
dimes worth of aquafortis-or what is the
same, nitric acid will be able to show the
presence of the mettle in a mineral that con-
tains but trace Of it.
In the first place, reduce the mineral TO be
tested, to powder. Let portion of this
powder-say as much as can be taken up on
five cent pece-bc roasted. This is east
ly done by heating it on common shovel,
until it begins to get red hot.
The next step is to take the roasted powder
half as much as indicated above will be
best--and place it on piece of broken plate
or saucer-a watch glass would be best
Then drop on enough of aquafortis to make
a thin paste with the powder. Let it stand
thus few miuutes-then add, drop by drop,
about as much water.
In case the mineral possesses an abundance
of copper, it is only necessary to insert into
this liquid clear, bright knife blade, when
it will at once become coated with copper.
In case the mineral contains but little of
the metal, it might be wholly overlooked in this
way. To detect a small quantity of the
metal, it will be necessary to get rid of most
of the aquafortis before inserting the knife
blade. This is done by holding the piece of
plate or saucer over a few Goals until the
powder becomes nearly dry, then add Il few
drops of water again, and insert the blade.
If any copper be present it will finally appear
on the knife 1t is proper in this case to let
the blade remain half an hour or more in H.
qnid, if the copper does not appear sooner
In this way very small amount of copper in
n specimen may be detected.

GENERAL ScoTT, AND THE ENGLISH AMI
FRENCH misunderstanding the mac.
tivity of the allies on the Danube, the N. Y.
Courier says: The sluggishness of the move
ment of the allies does not compare favora-
bly, with the activity displayed by General
Scott on the expedition against the Mexican
capital-an expedition which was directed
at about as great distance from home, and
in yet hotter and sicklier climate. On the
18th of March Gen. Scott embarked with his
troops on board the transporting squadron
on the 9th Of the same month, Vera Cruz
with the strong Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa,
was ours, besides 5000 prisoners and 500
pieces of artillery. Within three weeks af-
ter, the victory of Cerro Goi1o was won,
within four days after, Perote the second
fortress in Mexico was taken; and within
three weeks Puebla, the second city of Mex
co, lying half way between Vera Cruz and
the Capital, was in our possession. Negotia-
tons were now opened, and peace offered.
Active hostilities were suspended for three
months and half Again Scott moved on.
In less than two weeks the bloody battles
of Contreas and Cherubusco were fought
within three days an armistice was conclu-
deG and within as many more it was broken
by the Mexicans, and within week after,
the battles of Mexico were fought, and Gem
eral Scott made his entrance in the conquer
ed city Of the Aztecs; and that expedition
which the London Times had previously
ridiculed as an enterprise Of stark madness,
had reached its glorious consummaton.-
Such being the celebrity of our own warike
operations, it is natural that tho slowness of
the movements of the lilies in the East
should not excite much admiration this side
of the water.
