The New York Chronicle gives an
account OF new agency for producing
light and heat in dwellings, discovered by
Rev. l.. S. Hill. 1t produces heat fully
equal to the compound Blowpipe, and one
burner gives light equal to twenty candles,
at a cost Of one third of cent per hour !;
and since perfecting his machine the in
ventor states that the cost has not been
more than one mill per hour. Mr.. Hill
is the inventor of the process of daguer-
reotyping colors, called Hillotype.

A PRIZE FIGHT Our WEsr.-The 81.
Louis Republican gives an account of a
fight between Pat Nc Meal, the Tipperary
Boy, and Elias O'Flagherty, near the
Fair Ground, on the same day that the
Morrissey and Heenan fight took place.
O'Flagerty was the victor, the report
closing with the following summary of the
brutal work
On The sixth round McNeal could not
come up to time, having both arms broken
two extremely black eyes, fractured rib
or two, and head about twice its usual
size, and having besides received great
loss Of sensation. He was therefore de-
ciared whipped and the money handed
over to the triumphant O'Flagherty. The
latter, however, though declared the victor
was tolerably severely punished. His left
eye was put out entirely, his collar bone
had sustained two compound comminuted
fractures, his thres right fingers displaced
from their sockets, and his mouth slit
on the left sideof his cheek as far back
as mis- ear ~.

TOW INC DuIIUIO NUVertIstr.
The Prize-Fighters Coming Hon


Saturday evening ST. James Hall was
open to the public, at fifty cents per head
to witness exhibitions of "science" as
the art of fisticuffs is styled. To the cred
it of Buffalo, be it said, not two hundred
persons were present, all told. The larger
portion of the crowd were made up of
'roughs, few amateurs, and others of
vitiated tastes being present. Billy Null
igan was on hand with his protege Nor
rissey, whose face is not handsome, and
decidedly ugly from a badly bunged eye.
There were about half-dozen set-to s
the performers getting more or less ap-
plause according to the skill displayed.
The wind-up was between Morrissey and
Australian Kelly, the latter apparently
Morrissey's match.
Upon appearing upon the stage, Norris
sey stated that Re "gave this exhibition
that his friends might "see that he was
not so badly hurt as some Of the "papers
have represented" He was introduced
as the champion of America" and,
abiding to it, said: As far as the title con.
cerned, l fought for it, but l shall not fight
any more; so that anybody that wants it
may take it for shall fight no more"
Both men then spared away, winding up
by catching each other around the neck,
and punching each others ribs. The
highly respectable and fashionable assem-
blage then separated, quietly and peaceably
under the eye of the police. Morrissey
and troupe left for New-York on Saturday
night, we believe. Jones has challenged
Morrissey to fight in England, and Kelly
and Cobum have made a match. The
latter is Heenan man.
This, we trust, is the last time we shall
have occasion to allude to this affair. A
law can hardly fail to be passed during
the approaching Legislature to prevent The
recurrence Of such brutal and demoralizug
exhibitions.
John Morrissey, or Johns friends, cove
nantel to pay $50 for the privilege of
exhibiting John and Johns friends at st
james Hall, on Saturday evening. John
left on the late train, having eluded the
sentinel stars" and escaped from the
building, and consequent the City of
Buffalo is minus $50, which, according
to the statute in such case made and
provided" and the will of his Honor the
Mayor, should have gone into the hands
of our chief magistrate,

We continue to have from eyewitness
reports oftae bold aud oulragcou procce
IN, # the ncw OF abanlonc and lawIcs-
wretrhcs who went from the Eastern cities
to witness the brutal encounter at I,onr
Point,
They absolutely took possession Of the
train in which they returned, and such as
refused TO pay fare or produce tickets
were allowed to pass, as the conductors
and train hands dare not attempt to en-
force collection. In one instance, when
fare was demanded IA pistol was presented
TO the conductor as the sort Of fare the
ruflians paid. At several places on the
route people we're boldly robbed of their
money and watches, without any inter
ference of authority.
Not far from Utica, a German got on
one of the platforms of the car and asked
to sec Morrissey. The ruffians pulled him
into the car and began to take from him
whatever he had of value. He showed
some resistance upon which dozen pistols
were presented at his head, and when he
had been striped ofall the robbers wanted,
they threw him through a window of the
ear, injuring him severely.
An officer from this city was on the train
referred to, having in custody prisoner
whom he was taking to Albany to answer
to the United States Court, and seeing
what kind of fellow-passengers he had he
took the irons off his prisoner, lest the
ruffians seeing the shackles, might discover
that he was in durance, take him away and
set him free, as they no doubt would have
done.
There is little relief to the American
eye in viewing such degrading spectacles
as that witnessed last week, and that is
found in the observation that pugiism is
an exot;c-it has not its origin on Amer
lean soil. The prize fighters, their back
ers and abettors ars mostly subjects of
Great Britain, and bring from home all
their puglistic spirit, and when they de-
sire to exercise it, as in the recent instance,
they resort to dependency of the country
that gave them birth. 1t is the shame Of
our country that our politicians of all
parties will seek the aid of such vagabonds
to place themselves in power.
