PHoNoGRAPHY.-Mr. A. H. Kendall, pho
nographer, proposes to form a class for instruc-
ton in this valuable art. on Monday evening
next, in Writings music rooms, Mechanics
Building.
We would suggest that this is an opportunity
for acquiring most useful and interesting art
and accomplishment, of which all who have leis-
ure would do well to avail themselves. Even If
one is not a professional reporter, there are a
hundred instances in every PERSONS life when a
practical knowledge of photography would be
most valuable. Teachers, and literary and pro.
fessional men who have examined its claims,
pronounce universally in its favor Mr. Kendall
will give twelve lessons, which will be sufficient
to lay foundation which subsequent practice
will perfect. Let all attend who can.

COAL LOCOMOTIVE ENeNEs.-.In regard to
this subject, the Ne'obuyport Herald says;
"The new locomotive 'Newburyport on the
Newbuyport Railroad, is probably the most per-
feet coal engine in the country, as it contains
improvements made by Mr.. Talbot, on the most
perfect machine which had hitherto been built.
The saving of expense made by the use of coal
In this engine, almost exceeds belief The cost
Of running the freight train from Newburyport to
North Danvers and tack, with wood, is eight
dollars. while for coal 1t has been run for two
dollars. or only one-quartey We believe that the
difference in the passenger train is not so great,
though an average Of several trials shows saw

The food in the Mississippi began to subsde
At New Orleans on the 18th, and all apprehension
Of further damage was dismissed. A person,
writing on a Mississippi steamboat on the SOth Of

Though we have sailed some seven hundred
miles on the father of waters, we have scarcely
seen the ordinary banks at any point. Every
where it has been the wide waste OF waters,
losing itself on either side in the thick intermin.
atle forests or in some luckless planters cotton
helds or. worse still, in his kitchen, bedroom,
and parlor. Many Of the dwellings seem to have
been pat out to sea, there being not foot Of dry
land anywhere near them"

DEATH OF A CENTENNARIAN.-An old ne
gro woman known as Nancy, for many years
engaged as a sales woman in the first market
house, died few days SINCE at the advanced
age Of lO7 years. Up to within short time
of her demise her intellectual faculties were
as bright as ever, and nothing seemed to afford
her so much pleasure as to recount the inci-
dents of the revolution and the expulsion OF
the red coats from Yorktown. Like all old
negroes, she had seen and known master
George Washington well, and could give
fair description of the atrocities OF the traitor
Arnold when he attempted to overrun and
subdue the patriots of this section of the
country.-Rich. DiSpatch.

on Wednesday, an interesting paper was read by
DR.. d. Cutter, on "Zymosis." II was illustrated

"Ihe story, as given above, differs from the

first place, the time was at midnight, during
the later stage Of the Lecompton discussion.
The overcoat did not belong to the reporter,
who was ignorant of the existence of
the dagger in the pocket. The most notice

act have been considered as an intended re-
