Eg- We notice that the steam Eleva-
tor. At the new Warehouse Of Messrs.
QuAELEs 81 KIMBALI, has hsen in oper-
alton for few days past. Their engine
with all its adjuncts works admirably and
carries up the grain with q perfect rush.
They have all the conveniences for
weighing the grain, unloading, &c.,
The load is weighed in bulk on the sleigh
or wagon, and then each elevator has its
hopper TO which is attached its scales,
in the attic, where it is again weighed
before going into the bin. They have
separate bins for winter wheat so that
those storing it will have the benefit of
the difference in price.
The engine is Of 40 horse power ca
pseity, and as they have more power than
is needed for elevating, they are making
arrangements to use itfor otherpurposes.
\ custom grist-mill viii be put in as soon
as the machinery can be procured. One
run Of stone viii be ready early thi:
spring, and another run will soon after
be added.

4 FRIGHTFUL~ AcCIDENT, IN DAUPHIN
CoryTY, PA.-FouR PERSONS KILLED
AND ONE INJURED.-W regret to an
nounce one of the most painful accidents
that has ever occurred in Dauphln GO.
1t appears that the large furnace called
"Union Depot Furnace" situated IN
South Hanover township, some miles
from Humellstown, was in full blast and
working satisfactorily until within . few
days past, when something mtsrfered
with its operations.
In order to ascertain what was wrong
the workneil engaged in the work of
cleaning the lower portion of the fur
mace out; but whilst they were SO en-
gagged, the hot metal came running
out in torrents, 50 unexpectedly, that
FIVE persons were literally showered
oyer with liquid fire, Immediately set
ting their clothing on fire and burning
them in. . shocking manner. Some OF
the unfortunate men jumped into the
canal, and others into the water tub,
but this all proved unavailing--they
were so dreadfully burned that no hui
man help could save them.
John TBaler, David Landes, William
Murray, and a man called Dutch John,
have sincs died from their wounds, and
were BURIED yesterday, whilst Moses
Wolf, another of the injured, anhard-
" survive his injuries. sss - asn
1t appears that the furnace must have
been checked up at the top, and whilst
the men were engaged opening it be
low, the hot metal fell from the top OF
the stacksnto the hearth, raining down
upon the workmen so suddenly that it
was impossible to save them. The burn
ing fluid also came very near setting
the whole works on FIRE. The deceas-
ed leave large families to mourn their
sudden and early loss. Harrisburg Iel-

y MEAN ACT AND A CoNTEMPTIBLE
ExcUsE.-The Chicago papers are Just
" exasperated at Levi J. North, the
greet circus proprietor of that city, for
his meanness in pocketing the proceeds
of benefit, which he publicly declared
should be given to the Mayor for dis
tribu,ion amongst the poor of Chicago.
The net proceeds of the benefit were
$3.50, the attendance having been very
large as the people, thought they were
contributing their money to relieve the
distressed. The only reason given by
North for this dastardly act is that "he
was afraid Wentworthwouid appropriate
the money to his own personal USE The
Tribune justly says that this contempt
bic imposition viii damage North in the
opinion of every honest man.

MRs. MozART's CoNCERT.-The Sec
ond Concert of Mrs. J. NJ. Mozart and
her Company, came off at Odd Fellows
Hall on Monday evening last. A very
large and select audience was present,
and if we may Judge by the demonstra-
tions, all were highly pleased.
There was little disappointment at
the non-appearance of Mrs. Mattison,
who was detained in Chicago by illness,
but the excellent substitute in the per-
son of Mr.. Robbins, the distinguished
Tenor was quite satisfactory. Mrs. Mo-
Fart was in capital voice and charmed
the audience with her thrilling tones
1t is seldom we have listened to a more
accomplished and captivating singer,
whether in the sweet, simple music of the
ballad, or in the highest and most diff
cult passages of the Opera. Mr.. Mozart,
Mr.. Robbins and Currie, were greeted
with rapturous applause in their respec-a
tive parts. Mr. O.. Becker, Professor
of Music in our city, delighted the au-
dience with Solo on the VioIincello.
The hand of genius brings the most sex-
quisite music from a very ordinary in
strument, as Mr.. Becker demonstrated.
The performers were frequently eneored,
and several times responded, but we
suggest to our friends that there is such
thing as trespassiug ON good nature,
and that we cannot expect singer to
respond to an encore two or three times
running. We hope, on another occa-
sion, we shall not forget the bounds of
good taste III this matter.
We are happy to learn that Mrs. Mo
Fart will favor our city with another con-
cert in three or four weeks. The occa-
sion will be anticipated with impatience
by all who have enjoyed the previous
ones.

We spoke last week OF the change pro-
posed in the boundry between the first

understand that bill is now before the
Legislature for that purpose to make
Pike Creek the boundary instead of
Grand street. This we think will be
decided Improvement. 1t will bring
the residents in that portion west of the
creek, north Of Grand street, into the
1st w ard, where their interests are more
particularly laid by the nature and loca-
ton of the ground. er..
There is no objection to this change,
while there are many arguments in its
favor, aside from the wishes Of the in
