B6~ A New AMERICAN MANUFACTr

b5~ A New AMERICAN MANUFACTURE, that
of plate glass, has been commenced in Williams
burg, n. Y, where plates of glass ten feet
wide and twenty feet long, will be made. A
plate ten feet square can be made so strong
that it will hold ton weight, and so clear that
we could read the fine print of newspaper
through piece four inches thick. 1t is a sim
gular fact that the best English plate glass is
made from American sand With New Jersey
possessing the proper raw material in so remar-
kable degree, it is singular that this article
has been so long imported.

Ra~ " THE AMERICAN DEBArER," is the title
of a new work published by Iveson & Phinney,
New York. The book was compiled by JAMES
l.. MELLEGoTT, L. l.. D., and contains the
rules and regulations, and orders by which de.
| Lucrative assemblies should be governed, ac-
companied by suggestions and remarks from
the author, calculated to inspire confidence in
the young man who is just beginning to culti-
vate his argumentative powers in public debate,
and at the same time instruct him as to the
plan and arrangement of well conducted de-
batting society There are also about FIVE hun
dred questions for discussion in the back part
OF the book; this renders it doubly valuable
for debating clubs, literary societies, &c, con-
nected with Academies, and Colleges.
While such work would be valuable to
every man in the community, it is almost inds-
pensable to those who are engaged, or ever ex-
pect to engage in pursuits that will lead them
into public discussions

the most advanced reader used in school each
book has lately been revised with much care.
In this new book, as well as in some of the
others, the author has given several plain, SIM
pie rules for reading, which are readily under
stood and easy of application, The selections
have been made with great care, and with a
view of making the book emphatically what
the title Indicates 4 Young Ladies' Reader. y
This excellent class book must inevitably find
its way in very many of our higher schools and
academies.

T7Thc London Medical Gazette gives the
result of numerous experiments with roasted
coffee, proving that it is the most powerful
means, not only Of rendering animal and veg.
cable aiiluvia innocuous, but Of actually DIS
troving them. A room in which meat in an
advanced degree Of decomposition had leen
kept Tor some time was instantly deprived Of
all smell, on an open coffee rooster being car
rid through it containing a r'ound of coffee
newly roasted. In another room exposed to
cIlluvian occasioned by the clearing out ola
cess-pool, so that sulphuratcd hydrogen and
ammonia in great quantities could be chemi-
cally detected, the stencil was completely re-
moved within halfa minute, on the employ
,ment of three ounces Of fresh roasted coffee;
whilst the other parts Of the house were per-
mancntly cleared Of the same smell by being
simply travcrsed with the coffee rooster,
although the cleansing of the cess-pool con-
tnucd several hours after. The best mode of
using the coffee as disinlectant is to dry
the raw bean, pound it in mortar, and then
roast the powder on a moderately heated iron
plate until it assumes dark brown tint
when it is fit for use. Then sprinkle it in
siuks or ccss-pools, or lay it in plate in the
room which you wish to have purified. Cof-
fec acid or coffee oil acts more readily in
minute quantities.

ANOTHER MAMMOTH CAVE. DISCOVERED.
A short time since, tremendous rain
having displaced some loose rocks at the base
of Fort Hill, at Mackinac, boy discovered
an opening into the hill, which he and his
companions penetrated as far as the light
would admit. As soon as the news of the
discovery became public, people tiockcd to
see tie curiosity from all quarters, and finally
party. well armed and equipped, cntc'od
ON a tour of tXIlo ator One of the party
writing u description Of the cave, says:
TIE entrance is small, not being over four
feet hi.h by ten feet in width, des ending
gradually, after passing through a long and
somewhat narrow passage, surrounded on
every side by staactitlcs and small crystals
of calcarcous spar, which glistcned in the
torclliglt like diamonds. We, after some
time, entered n dome or amphthcater, and
stood fixed in astonislmont. The dome is
$50 feet in length Ivy 240 in width, and in
most places $50 feet in height; and whole
lit up by numerous torches yielded q scene
of spl,nlcr and beauty not to be described.
The first object that attracted our attention
at the far end Of this temple was q white
giant Statue imposed so completely un

Sculpturcd by the hand of man and to the
right and left of this giant statue, sculpturcd
as if sitting, giant statues filled the two
lalr-ciclcs Of the basement of this stupcn-
1ous dome. This must be the place, we
again exclaimed, where the Indian Meta, ages
ago, witnessed the giant faries in their un-
earthly meeting.
After passing through alleys looking down
here and there into the deep abyss, and view
iug in haste temples, palaces and chambers,
and having also stepped over small stream
of clear, cold water, we finally, after some
slight work, guided by a dim light in front
Of us, cxcavated place large enough to pass
through, and found ourselves in Captain

five hours, and the distance Travelled in the
cave was trille over three miles.
