New Penitentiary.

In accordance with joint resolution of
the General Assembly, Gov. Chase has ap-
pointed commission to examine and re-
port upon the propriety OF enlarging the
present Penitentiary, and of erecting an
additional prison. The Commissioners are
Messrs. Kent Jarvis, of Massilon, Nelson
Franklin, of CirclevilIe, and Thomas Spoon
er, of Cincinnati. They solicit from tho
citizens of the State, proposals for the sale
TO the State Of sufficient lands for the pur-
pose of such new prison; said land to con-
tain not less than fifteen, nor more than for
ty acres, and situated on or near some one
of the commercial thoroughfares Of the
State. 1t is understood that all PROPOSE
tions submitted should state at what prices
the necessary materials for such structure
can be obtained in the locality of the land
offered. Address proposals to 7. Spooner,
Reading, Hamilton county, o., on or before
the goth Of the present month.
The interests Of the State demand that
if new Penitentiary be erected that it be
located in the Northern or Southern por-
ton of the State--in the vicinity of the
Lake or the Ohio, and of some city or
large town. Cleveland possesses many ad-
vantages which may be urged without dis
paragement of the claims Of other locaIi-
ties, such as cheap materials of construc-
ton, food for prisoners, health etc,--Lsadsr.

The NEeerschaum NTanin.

1t may chagrin Young America to learn,
but nevertheless it is fact, that the meers-
chaum so popular in this country at the
present day, costing from 81 to IS, are
mere shams. The genuine meerschaum, OF
that portion in which the cigar or tobacco
is placed, is made in Vienna, of clay found
in Asia. This clay resembles the porcelain
clay of this country, and is easily moulded
into any desired shape, and the finer the
quality, the more easily is it colored by the
oil of tobacco. The mouthpiece of the
meerschaum is made of amber, a substance
resembling rosin, found along the Baltic
Sea. This is valued according to the size
of tho piece and its fitness for mouthpieces,
Some of them sell as high as $50, and the
bowls for pipes as high as $50, in conse-
quence of the elaborate carving upon them.
They are made in Vienna, where large
number of persons are employed to meet
the present demand. The price, however,
cannnt be considered enormous when it is
understood that the finest quality of meers.
chaum cannot be perfectly colored under
three months, and then it must be in use
nearly all the time; say, for instance, thirty
cigars per day smoked through one, each
costing three cents, would make the cost
for ninety days $sl, without counting sick
headache, nervousness, etc.

Old Brown is continually suffering sea

and his latest phase was exhibited during \

from his cot bed, retaining seat on it,

improved in health, and has rcgained much
of his old self-possessed and commanding
