ing across the ocean of our memory, gloomy
and solemn as deathknell, over-shadowing
| all the bright hopes and sunny feelings of the
heart. Who can describe it, and yet who has
not felt the bewildering sensation?
How to get pennyworth of beauty out of
old bones and bits of skin, says Dickens, in his
household words, is a problem which the old
| French gelatine makers have solved very pref
| tily. Does the reader remember some gor-
geous sheets of colored gelatine IN the French
| department of the great exhibition? We owed
them to the slaughter houses of Paris. Those
establishments are SO well organized and con-
Quoted that all the refuse is carefully preserved
to be applied to any purpose for which it may
be deemed fitting. Very pure gelatine is made
from the waste fragments of skin, bone, tendon,
| Agature, and gelatine tissue of the animals
| slaughtered in the Partisan abattoirs; and thin
sheets of this gelatne are made to receive
very rich and beautiful colors. AS a pelati
nous liquid, when melted, it is used in the
dressing of woven stuffs and in the clarfca-
ton Of wine, and as solid it is cut into threads
for ornamental uses of the confectioner, or
made into thin white and transparent sheets of
PAPER glace for copying drawings, or applied
in the making Of artificial flowers, or used as
substitute for paper on which gold printing
may DE executed. In good sooth, when an OK
has given us our beef, and our leather, and our
tallow, his career of usefulness is by no means
ended; we can get penny out Of him as long
as there is scrap Of his substance above the
ground ...-..

Dear Ricketts, Not seeing any conmuni-
cation from this place in your paper for some
time, thought a little local news would per-
haps be acceptable.
As the Know Nothing question has been
ridlculcd by some writers until they have
sunk down to their original obscurity, shall
not attempt to rouse their epithcts which
have fallen on those who lave dared in their
own country, to form mn honest opinion. 1t
appears that some of those who were the
most bitter are now the most enthusiastic. 1t
is whispered around that the X. Ms. arc
rapidly gaining ground in this vicinity. Let
them grow and gather strength as fast as they
please, shall say nothing against them, for
it is right winch they ought to enjoy. no
matter whether it coinsides with my views
or rot.
There is Just now another revival OF Reli-
gion progressing ut Ebcnczer Charge, near
this place; the people are turning out in great
numbers; good order is Observed and seekers
of Religion are nightly increasing. The
ministers Of this crcIit (the Rey DIS. Messrs

Dear Ricketts, We see the effect of the
railroad already: land buyers from various
parts arc selecting farms as near the line of
the Central road as they can be obtained.
Sites for mills and for other manufacturing
purposes, arc also in request.
The New Valley property has been sold to
a gentleman from Buck $ county, Pa. vino.
am informed proposes building a mill Of
some sort, in addition to good saw mill al
ready in active operation.
The mill property at Porter's Bridge, on
the Octoraro is reported as about being dis
posed Of to some Pcnnsylvanians, who in
tend improving it to its utmost capacity.
Rowlandsvillc, too, comes in for her share,
Mcssrs. John S. Christy & Co., proposes
erecting fine merchant mill at our village
on the site of the old mill, which has been
lying dormant for many years. Mr.. Alex.
McFadcn of Andora, believe is to do tho
mill,wright work. The Octoraro is one OF
the best water powers in Md, and only wants
means of ready access to be greatly improv.
ed. The country along the creek is hisl
and much more healthy than is generally
found along such streams. The lands fol
agricultural purposes arc unsurpassed. Great
inducements are here held to capitalists ant

DEATH OF Mr. SpAFFoRD.--S. l.. Spafford,
Esq, the General SUI erintcndcnt of the Phil
adclphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
died at his residence in Philadelphia on Sun
day last He was sick nine days of typhus
fever. The Stations and cars on the road
have been dIaped in mourning on account Of
the melancholy event. The Delaware States
man says:
"Mr. S. was native of Vermont, man
of great energy of character, and apparently
of,obust health. AS an engineer and rail-
road manager, he had few supcriors in the
country, while as a man he was ever courte-
Gus and accommodating. The Company have
lost an officer, who, for efficiency and useful.
ness, they will find it difficult to replace, and
the travelling public careful guardian OF
their safety and welfare. Mr.. S. was in the
a5th year Of bis age, and leaves wife and
one child"

struction and great power, ready to commence
its work as soon as the weather will permit,
and extensive preparations are being made to
push forward as fast as possible this very
important work. When this is done the

to boast OF than it even now Possesses
