GAS MANUFACTURED FROM WATER.-It was
gas, manufactured from water, took place at
Wilmington, Del, on Saturday evening A
number of scientific men, and several persons
connected with the Philadelphia gas works,
were present. According to the North Ameri-
can, the experiment was successful-t the
new gas SO much more brilliant than that
made from coal-that the Northern Liberties
Gas Company has determined to substitute
this new process for the one it has been hither-
to using. The cost of this new gas, it is stated
will be from 80 to soc. per thousand feet, and
will save nine-tenths of the labor and expense
of erecting coal gas works. The theory of the
process is said to be as follows:
Water, as steam, is decomposed by being
passed over red-hot charcoal and the result
ing gases Hydrogen, carbonic oxide, and
llght carburetted hydrogen) are chemically
combined with heavy carburetted hydrogen,
or Hght-glving gas, by the decomposition of
rosin or coal vapor, simultaneously with, and
in the presence of, the decomposition of the
vapOr of water. AT the WILMINGTON pas
works are now three water-gas retorts. ag-
gregatlng only one twenty-seyenth of the
cubical area OF their coal-gas retorts vet more
productive than the whole of their present
coal gas apparatus, making one thousand two
hundred to one thousand eight hundred feet
per hour. The gas manufactured is superior
in color and strength of fame to that produc-
Ell from coal. Rosin is used as the carboni-
Zlng element, requiring from TWENTY-FIVE to
forty pounds for every thousand feet of gas
which is free from sulphur or nitrogen and
has an odor rather agreeable than otherwise

HOSTETTER'S BITTERS medicine which is
evidently destined TO mainta,n permanent place
in the public estimation. Billions disrr hua is one
siean. The medicine they administer to act upon
the bowels never seems to reach the source of the
evil. The difficulty Is to get remedy that will
reach all the digestive organs, and give them ST.
multaneousiy rush OF vigor, to rid themselves of
this dl lseaxe. This problem is solved by the Bi r.
TIERS, which never fails to conquer the most stub
born cases. 1t is only fair to say that, during the
season lust closed, this medicine has achieved
more cures than any other ever presented to the
public, and during the fall, which that terrible
scourge, the fever and asue, is so prevalent, the
BIrTFRs will gain fresh lame.

CHOATEss READING AND RKLIGION.-The
eulogy upon Rufus Choate given by Professor
Parsons before the law school at Cambridge,
on Thursday last, was not indiscriminate, ac-
cording to the prevailing fashion. He does
not think Mr.. Choates studies took SO
wide scope as some have supposed, ana
is confident that he did not read much
metaphysics or religious controversies
Mr.. Choate's stability in the faith of his
childhood, so gratifying to his pastor. DIR.
Adams, is explained by remark he made TO
Judge Parsons, to the effect that, fortunately
for himself, certain belief had been implant-
ed in his mind In early childhood. There 1t
stood unmoyed And he was unwilling TO
listen to arguments against II, or to consider
the question as open, because, said he, -
dread the laceration of mind which must be
caused by rending away q faith once deeply
and firmly rooted,n and he quoted from Ed
mund Burke passage expressing strongly the
same sentiment.

INCIDENT AT A PRAYER MEETING-The
prayer meeting held in Philadelphia for " the
unity of the spirit" gathered an immense as
semblage of all the Protestant sects. The
Philadelphia Bulletin says
A most interesting incident occurred, an in
cident, so far as we know, unparalleled in the
history of Professionalism. DIR. Nevin, of the
Presby terian Church, TO- S. rose and stated
that the Apostles Greed was one of the SYM
b-is ofhis branch of the Church, and it might
be of all the churches represented, and pro-
posed that Mr. Cracraft should repeat it as
the creed OF the meeting all standing and
joining in it. Instantly every individual
OF the vast assemblage sprang to his feet
The Chairman began, ~ believe in God
the Father, Almighty, maker of Heaven and
Earth Every voice joined him. Nearly
two thousand eople-Episcopalians, Presby-
terians, (Old and New School,) Seceders,
Coyenanters, Dutch Reformed, German Re-
formed, Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans,
Morayians, ,Congregationalists, Independents
all repeated, with the simplicity of chill
dren, this grand old formula which has come
down 10 us on the stream of ages II believe
spectator, not easily excited, and standing
aloof from any enthusiasm of the moment
could not but be moved. As the "Apostles'
Creed,' so called, is the only uninspired sum-
mary of Christian doctrine in which all these
Churches believe, it seemed like an Act OF
Union of the Church Universal. Ii brought
startlingIy, and judging from the appearance
of the congregation, affectingly, to every in
diyidual the idea, so much lost sight of, that
in all that is essential these Christians. cut up
into what are called seetS, are in fact one.

YOUNG ADyENTURERs.-Two boys, each
about thirteen years of age, arrived in Freder-

near the depot, without either money or bag
gage. They are from Wheeling, and state that
they left home about three weeks ago. They
first went to Baltimore, and after stopping
there awhile worked their passage on the Po-
cahonIas to Richmond city. They left Rich
mond last night in the Central cars, and got off
at the junction, where they took the Freder-

spirits, considering they were four hundred

either money or change of clothes.-Fred

his appearance before the Mayor yesterday to
answer the charge OF stealing a coat vest and
pair of shoes from William J.. Crutchfleld.-
Following the example of other royaiists, the
prisoner had laid violent hands upon the
property of poor subject and appropriated
it to his own use; but, unlike a good sheppard,
