Gas as Fuel,

We insert with great pleasure the follow
ing communication from Doctor Fritsch, in
relation to gas stoves; and we hope some of
our manufacturers may think it worth while
to send for few of the different sizes Of the
Prussian stoves as patterns. The loss would
be Insignificant, if they were found unsuited
to our wooden country and peculiar climate.
They might prove valuable acquisitions, and
ater the Doctors recommendation from a
knowledge and experience Of their uses, we
should feel great confidence in their success:
1t often happens that inventions made years
ago in Europe, are laid before the public here
in our Union as new. They pass even our
patent Office as original discoveries. / could
tell of many Of them.
A notice in your paper on the above sub
ject, calls my attention to new instance of
this kind. Carburated hydrogen gas, which
is that of our gas works, has been used as a
combustible in cooking and heating stoves,
more than five years in different parts of Ger
many. When the invention was first made
there, l used it myself for some time in diff
ferent chemical laboratories, before it entered
into public use.
The process is simply this: The gas is
mixed with air before it is made to pass
through cylinder, which is covered with a
sieve. Above this sieve the gas is ignited.
Where it issues through the sieve. it has lost
its brightness; the color is blueish and dim;
but it has an intense heat, which it has &C
quired by more perfect combustion, produc-
ed by the oxygen of the air.
The cathedral in Berlin is heated with gas
in four stoves. These heating stoves, like the
cooking stoves, have a peculiar construction.
The poorest family, as we'll as the richest and
most splendid restaurant in Berlin, cook on
these gas stoves. They have the following
advantages:
First, cleanliness;-For there is no dust
nor ashes;-second, the ease and readiness
with which they are put in operation, for the
fire in the stove is lighted as quickly as gass
burner;-thrdly, the intense heat boils the
water and cooks in half the time that is re-
quired by fire;-fourthly, economy in time
and cost of fuel filthy, safety and security
from fire.
In Berlin is factory Of stoves for using
the gas. These stoves are of an excellent
make. The tenfold price could not produce
the sane here. The price varies from 4
Prussian dollars up to 40 dollors; the last be
ing the most complete, beautifUl cooking
stove. The dollar stove can be used fol-
cooking beat stake, making tea ETC., and fol
preparing perfect meal for small family
will furnish any person with pleasure the
address of the firm, and can also show draw
ings Of the different stoves which are made
there. By sending the money person will b
sure Of having, in one month, a stove with
gas burners in his house, SO clean and nice
that it may be used in his parlor.

WINTER IN lowA.-Last week gentleman,
three ladies, and child, were returning from
neighbours over the prairie, in a sleigh with
two horses, to their home near Monticello, in
Iowa; the horses got off the road, plunged
into a hollow, broke loose from the sleigh, and
left the whole party buried in snow eight and
ten feet deep. Their absence ~ated an alarm
the next morning. and the nelghbors turned
out to search for them, and found them all
dead, huddled together and covered with blan-
kets, under the shelter Of some willows, ex-
cept the man, who was discovered within forty
yards of his own home, frozen to DEATH
Three other men were frozen to death in the
same neighborhood about the same time
Near Lyons in the same State, a lady in q
sleigh with her sons, youth of twenty and
boy Of twelve years, returning from neigh
boris across prairie, was oyertaken by a snow
storm, which soon obliterated every trace Of
the road, and so blinded them, that it was i'm
possible to see foot ahead. They wandered
a. out till nearly persisted, when they came to
corn field and crawling into a large shock
of corn, around which the whirling snow sooE
built wall; they remained till morning
while their poor animals took the peltings o.
the pittiless storm under the lee Of their shell
ter. Their limbs were badly frozen, but all
escaped.

CHANGE OF MARITIME CoMMERCE-The ex-
pertinent of bringing oil home from the
whaling fleet in the Pacific, across the 18TH
mus Of Panama, has led many of the Eastern
papers into reflections upon the future course Of
the whaling business. If the products of the
whale fisheries can be brought home cheaper
by the way of Panama than in the ship via
Cape Horn, it will be for the interest Of those
engaged in the business to keep their vessels
in the Pacific, and when once there never to
allow them to return. AS soon as the neces-
sary means are provided for the repairs and
outfits for whale ships at San Francisco or
other port on the Pacific coast it will become
the Depot of the whaling business. The fleets
once in that ocean will be kept there, and at
the end of each fishing season, will go into
port, unload, reship their cargoes, repair, refit
and with fresh provisions and re animated
crews, make new start The voyages in this
way will be reduced to six and nine months,
and the capital required to carry on the busi-
ness would be much less than when ships, as
now, are fitted for three or a five years voy-
age, dL liz AAoN AAA'NoSAASAS VIM ~

soon be transferred to the Pacific side of the
continent, and some enterprising city there
will reap the fruits of the labor that has built

ern whaling ports. From repairing, building
of whale ships will follow, and some point,
now wilderness, or Puget Sound, may re-
sound in few years with the busy industry

"The Main street crossings deserve the at
tention of the City Fathers. The new one
lately laid down on the corner of First street,
should either be made navigable, or taken up;
the gravel crossing was far better. We ven
ture to say that there are more impossible
street-crossings in Evansville than in any town
in the West. The Council has adopted the
principle of the "Arkansaw squatter." When
the weather is pleasant, the crossings do well
enough, and when it rains, the Street Commits
sioner hasn't time to make the repairs: and so
we wade through, hoping only for dry wealth
err" -a.E
| As the above seems to reflect on the Street
Commissioner unjustly, beg leave to say that
tine crossings alluded to, were all laid accord
ing to the surveys and levels of the City En-
gineer; that the best of materials were pro-
cured, and that, if they are defective, the
fault is not with the Street Commissioner or
those who worked in their construction, but
with those by whose surveys and grades he is
bound to be governed in making the crossings.
All the materials suitable for crossings that
could be procured at reasonable price, have
been exhausted; and as the City Council has
manifested determination not to pay bills
necessarily incurred in improving the streets
where such bills were not exactly in con-
sonance with its ideas of economy or modera
ton, have thought best to defer further
operations Of that sort, until the price Of ma
terials is reduced to their standard.
| have for some time expected to hear from
those interested, through the medium Of ont
OF the papers, in relation to the condition o
the market place. Twice has this matter beef
laid before the Board by me as Market Master
, and an appropriation asked for its repair.
believe a committee a0as appointed to make al
examination, but if the committee ever report
} ed, have not been informed Of it; neither ha
! any appropriation been made, or orders givel

Judge from this, whether the Street Commits
sioner and Market Master are to blame o
