A Novel Steam Engine

Mr.JaiEes Black exhibited on Thurs
day last, at the machine shop Of Mr., NJ,
Alder, q novel steam engine, for patent.
1t is called the hapelling Engine, and the
whole engine consists of four cylinders,
each three feet six inches long, ten inches
in diameter. and each containing piston
weighing two hundred and fifty pounds.
Each two opposite pistons connect with
rods. Nocross heads, piston-rods, cranks
or slides are required, but merely pully
for the band, which is placed at the end oil
the shaft. This engine is shout twelve
horse power, weighs three tuns and occu;
pies aspace Of eight feet by four feet
The inventor claims for ita great saving
in the consumption Of fuel. in consequence
| of the direct action Of the steam upon the
leylinders and pistons. which revolve like
the arm of a wind .mills. and any required
amount ofpower may be given to these
tengines by increasing the length ane
bread h and width OF the cylinders. Te
give it it's full mower it is claimed that on
y one-third the pressure of steam is re
quired as in ordinary steam engines
The engine is certainly novel in its con
Estruction. and will attract much attention

THE GERMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
From all the information we have been a.
BILE to gather, it appears that German
Catholic Priest was sent her by the Bish-
op a few months since. who had become
very popular with majority of his con-
gregation. But some of his opinions
were held by few to be heterdox. Il
is said that he held that Baptism was no'
essential to salvation; that doctrines moi
found in the Bible were non-essentials;
that all services o1ght to be performed in
a living language, understood by the
people, and he married Catholic TO a
Protestant, and admitted that Protes.
tants might be saved as well as Catholics
and in private denounced Jesuits and Je-
suitism. These heresies were reported te
the Bishop who Immediately sent his a.
gent to stop the leak. When he came ht
essayed to give the delinquent Priest {
pulpit lecture, but the congregation pre-
vented it by Withdrawing from the hous.
and a pretty general row was the f

return, and the only answer he got was
a peremory order to so back to his COM
pany. There are very worthy young
men in the army but among them al
there is general dissatisfaction and dis
appointment. Their food is very poor,
and their pay is barely enough for their
washing expenses. The captains receive
only six dollars per week, and sickness
prevails IN the army to an alarming ex-
tent. s.... .....
"For .laboring men to emigrate the in
ducements are quite as few. One man,
who left Granada on the day did to re-
turn, was seized with the fever on the
way down the lake. AT Virgen Bay he
was treated by physician, who thought
that lie might venture to start for home
He did so, and on the second day. out
from San Juan he died. and his body was
thrown overheard. | understood that he
was formely a policeman in this city
Two Irishmen, bro hers, went out in the
Northern Light, but one became discour-
aged on arriving AT San Juan and return
ed. His brother, however, went on with
me to Granada. He got employment at
a doll r and half per day at driving the
government cart. He was healthy and
strictly sober man, but one week after
his arrival was seized with the fever and
died. It's impossible for an American to
work in that climate, particularly those
from the Northern States. They become
debilitated and weak, and those who are
in the habit of drinking sufficiently to ir-
ritate the stomach, almost invariably die.
Granada is the great dead house of the
country. Three miles from the city is a
pond, which. in the dry season, becomes
putrid, and the wind, which almost al
ways blows from that direction, sends a
miasma over the city; and this, with rum
and dirt, is the cause Of the unhealLhiness
of the place. When | left, there were
about four hundred Americans in the city.
and they were dying at the rate of five
per day, on an average. Its said that
Leon, a place one hundred miles above
Granada. and reached BY mules, is much
more healthy. Virgin Bay, Castillo, and
San Carlos, are comparatively healthy.
