TRIUMPH OF INVENTIVE ENiUs-THE lYDRAUL-
&c Pass SrRPAssED.-Wer referred, q short time
since, to press on new principle, the invention
Of Thos. K. Hopkins, ESQ., of this city, for which
n capedt has been filed in the Patent Office. Since
that time Mr.. H. has completed an elegant model
of tobacco press, working on his plan sufficient
ly large to demonstrate it's vast utility and clearly
explaining itself to the inquisitive, Mr. H. would
gladly exhibit the model to those interested, and
we are very sure it will fully repay moro than
walk to his Office to see it.
The recent introduction of the hydraulic press
into the manufacture of tobacco here has shown
that great improvement in the press room of fac
tories may be made. 1t was understanding one
Of these beautiful and powerful machines, that
the idea of his new arrangement was dimly sug-
gested. lie pursued it to it's complete and trium-
plant development, until he has the proud satis-
faction of having accomplished the great desidera-
tum Of a continuance which, by an arrangement of
simple levers, acting directly and consequently
with the absolute minimum Of friction, concentra-
ties power, or accnmulates weight on precisely the
principles Of the hydraulic press and with its full
capacity and yet by simpler, far less costly and
greatly more durable machine. which. unlike the
hydraulic press is as little liable to get out of
der as the old screw press itself. If there be no
other instruction gained by visit to see this mo-
del, tobacconists would be amply compensated by
the evidence it furnishes of the immense am, unit
of useless friction they encounter in the old form
of press--which they will readily observe cannot
operate on this one. Those who are acquainted
with the hydraulic press will see that it gains in
this respect, not inconsiderably over even that
The secret of the hydraulic press is nothing

MuRpER.-A negro man, the property of Mr.
Estes, near Nortonssille, was committed to jai.on
Monday last, charged with the murder of negro
man. the property Of Mr.. Cattcrton, Of the same
neighborhood. The murder was perpetrated on
Saturday night last. in the public road, very near
Mr.. John Trays residence. Mr.. Fray heard the
noise occasioned by the rcncontre, and went i'm
mediately to the scene of the conflict, and there
saw the deceased upon the ground, entirely dead
and the prisoner standing over him with both
hands firmly grasping the throat OF the deceased
There were three other negro men standing around
quiet spectators of the awful tragedy. The de-
ceased was a man remarkable for his great
strength and activity; and the prisoner was rather
below the average in his physical deselspment.-
These facts and the..additonal one that the three
whs were present could give no satisfactory ex.
cuse for themselves and their conduct has led to
the suspicion that they aided the prisoner in the
preparation of the murder. The physician who
made post mortem examination of the deceased
was perfectly satisfied that death was occasioned
by stranguiatioD. Charlottesville Adr.

We find tho following in n recent number Of the

scribors may havs deceased, as they have not been
heard from according to expectation but hoping they
may yet survive, we here give place to the lines below
with the hope that they may bO the means Of eciting
information
A newspaper subscriber, n few weeks ago,
What paper IL was, or what name, ] don't know,
However, II matters not but II appears,
That he, IN his payment was much in arrears
hut he promised the Editor on such q day,
If his life shall be sparot, the bill he will pay;
The day passed no bill pad-and from what had been
said,
The Editor thought the man must be dead.
so with this conclusion the IL itor placed
His name in the noxt paper among the dseedsed
With every particular attendant beside,
Ofthe place whore he lvodand the time whom he died
The nnnounc oment had scarcely been made half anour
When the person appeared at the Editors door,
But not deadly pale IS ASPIRATIONS are said
To appear oftentimes, for his visage waspd;
Nor did he, ms most apparitons do,
Wait a moment that he might be spoken to;
But broke silence Mt once although out OF breath,
With" What the deuce you mean sir, you've pub.
lished my deathW
"Mcan mearl the same as IL any one else dead,
To let the world know" tho Editor said.
" But I'm not dead.n q Not dead did you say2
Then You are to blame for you promised to pay,
II your life should be spared, you very well know,
Until such fixed time sir, the bill that you owe.
That fixed time is passed, and the bill is not paid
And therefore you certainly, sir, must be dead;
For do not believe sir, nor shall ever,
You could forfeit your word OH dear me, no, neyerV
I'm outwitted, see, Mr.. Editor, STAY,
Here's your money, so no ore about IL, pray
Adding, though in tone not so angry and vexed,
"Contradict my death,will youyou wagin your nextf
"Oh yes, just to please you" he gravcly replied,
Though still think you died at the time specified,
And that you merely came back to pay this bill,
Because Of the friendship you have for me sill.'
