STRAW PArER.--The Philadelphia L Ldger
is now printed on paper made principally
of straw. This pap is made by Femour &
Nixon, ot their pa per mills in Manayunk-
1t is made by what is called Melliers pro
cess, which has been recently patented, and
BY which it is claimed that paper for print

with straw paper heretofore has been to
make it white enough for printing purposes.
This is now done by process OF bleaching,
of which Mr. Melier is the patentee.

has now become intense. She has been out

now feared she must have gone down with

that seamen did not give her up; but as she

daily grows fainter. She was of the Liver
pool and Philadelphia steam packet line;
was large vessel, and had on board one
hundred and ten passengers besides officers
and crew. lcebergs were in the sea right

she may have struck one of the bergs and
