ANNOYING DELUsIoN 1t is stated in the
Boston papers that on the examination of a
respectable hotel keeper Of that city, on the
charge Of stealing 81 500 from a store, the
complainant testified that he had consulted
the spirits and a fortune teller, and had been
informed that he would find the money in
the landlords cellar, whereupon he had, by
virtue of search warrant oyerhauled the
coal-bin and pulled up any quantity of brick
pavement but found nothing. The man
was Of course discharged but we think It
rather hard that people should not have
some redress when brought up on such friv-
olous pretexts as these and charged with in
famous crimes. If people in this age will
cherish such follies, they should be made to
keep them to themselves, and not annoy
Others with them.-Ezcbange

IMPROVED MANUFAorURE OF PLATE GLASS

IMPROVED MANUFACTURE OF PLATE GLASS.
The improved method of making plate
glass, now in use. consists in employing, as
material, fine white sand, soda, ash, lime and
arsenic, occasionally adding manganese, bor-
AK, &c. When this mixture is prepared it is
put into pots for about eight hours, and, when
Sufficiently melted, an instrument, somewhat
resembling a long-handied scoop, is inserted
through an aperture over one Of the doors in
the furnace, and the scum is removed. The
material is finally taken and placed upon a
casting table. The molten mass, after it falls
upon tho table and the pot is swung away, is
next compressed into plate by a ponderous
roller Of cast iron, and which, while still hot,
Immediately attains a sufficient consistency
to be showed on to the plaster-table, which Is
then wheeled to the entrance OF an oven, put
In, the oven sealed up, and the process of an
healing, which lasts two or three days, is COM
menced. This consists in subjecting the
plates to heat gradually decreasing in in
tensiiy until they are entirely cooled and,
N being taken out, they are cut to the
Jer size.

GOVERNOR ELECT or INDIANA,
OCTOBER 81, 1856.

a ; Ill IL h IL Il. w Ia j. A IL ID
GOVERNOR ELECT OF INDIANA,
OCTOBER 81, 1856.
In presenting it, Mr.. Crockett said
Gov. Willard, at the request of the Demo.
Gratis of Frankfort, am here to-day.
For your health, happiness, and prosperi-
ty, they tender you their kindest feelings and
best wishes.
But, SIR we in kentucky feel proud that you
have been elected Governor of Indiana, and
that our brethren across the water have prov
en-, by this act, that so far as in them lies
the constitutional rights Of the citizen, Of
the State and Territory, shall be protected.
And we feel proud that the Democracy of
Indiana have, through your argument per-
suasion, ability and power, set their faces
against the combined influences of know
nothingism and abolitionism, and set to their
seal that Democracy is true.
Without further trespaissing, l therefore
present you this goblet, in token OF the high
esteem they award to you for the bold and
gallant manner you have won so noble a
victory.
Nor do we feel that the victory is confined
to In@iana-that the example of your patri-
otto State will sink deep into the heart Of
every lover Of liberty, and that at the No
vember election know nothingism and aboli.
tionism will be crushed out only to be remem-
bered for the ills they have done.
We present you this memento, not for its
worth, but because we desire to reciprocate
our hearty corporation in the principles by
which you have achieved so glorious VIC
tory.
And we hope you will accept it, and bear
it to your home, with the pledge that Ken
tncky will echo back the noble sentiments
of Indiana's distinguished Governor, and
stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder, for
Democracy, the Constitution, and the Union.
Gov. Willard responded that the compli-
ment was won by the Democracy of Indi-
ana, and that they deserved the regard Of
their brethren of Kentucky. That he, as
one of the Indiana Democracy, had done his
duty. They were just men-loyal men, and
were resolved to maintain and sustain the
Constitution and the Union, not stopping to
calculate whether the North or the South
would make a few the most dollars, by a
certain cheat or an uncertain fraud. He kind
ly and affectionately thanked the Demo
Gratis of Frankfort for the beautiful token OF
regard thus Unexpectedly bestowed.

BADEN. BADEN, SEP. l4Tm, 1856.

BADEN BADEN, SEP. 14TH, 1856.
My DEAR n 81 find that have dated
my journal wrong by two days. We arrived
here on the thirteenth instead of the fifteenth.
In travelling we measure time by our impress
sions, and not by the calendar Ii is such
an entire interruption of old habits, this
sleeping 10 the day and travelling in the night
stopping at strange places, and eating at old
hours, that the days run into each other so
strangely that one can scarcely count them.
The first thing we did this morning was to
meat, three vegetables, desert and fruit, for
look for lodgings, which we found with very
little trouble, in high, pleasant situation.
For large parlor and comfortable bedroom,
handsomely furnished, we pay seven forms
per week, which is three dollars; a ilorin or
gulden being equal to forty-three cents Eng
lish. For our breakfast, of delicious cafe aU
iait, bread, butter, and fruit, we pay twenty
four kreuzers, which is about 18 cents. We
dine at a restaurant few doors from our
lodgings. We have soup, three courses OF
which we pay half gulden, twenty-one cents
and a half apiece
We drink two or three glasses Of the hot
water every morning and evening, and am
already much benefited by it. At the springs
where it it issues from the cliffs, it is 16o deg
Fahrenheit. 1t has a salt, alkallsh taste, looks
bright and pure while hot. but turns whitish
as it cools. Whether it makes people live
longer, or grow old sooner, cannot tell; but
have seen more old women here than any
where else. 1t is said that during the pesti-
lence which ravaged all Germany in the ff-
tenth century, the holy Virgin appeared to a
Margarine, of Baden, pointing to the hot
springs. 1t seems that the pious Margarine
interpreted this vision Alright. She ordered
all the hot springs to be laid open. The
boiling mineral water flooded the town.
charged the atmosphere with clouds Of steam,
and Immediately arrested the progress of the
destroyer at Baden Baden. 1t is strange to
see the granite cliffs smoking like a furnace,
to hear the pumps Kissing like a tea-kettle,
and to see the gratings over the sewers In the
streets sending up long wreathes of white
steam. Truly there are things under the
earth as well as above It, that battle mans
philosophy.

and we already notice the receipts of hogs by

downward tendency with but little disposition
to buy at prices, though we hear of a small
lot of hogs at 8 = cents from the hooks The
packing here this season is anticipated to
show falling off in numbers as compared
with the past season, though the condition OF
the hogs will be better, and the weight an in
