the new association.
Two mechanical novelties have just been produced
here. one being . steam boiler by Mr.. Joseph Har-
risou, ir, who has il nov IN operation. 1t 10
claimed as non e elosiye and instead OF t0oes, 10
filed with csst-iron globes, some 200 m number,
which are connected tnseteer by short tubes.
Each globe being about SIX inches IN diameter,
contains but little water and can do o1s small
damsce in case il eyplodes as Only one can oarst
At time. The boiler now in use drives TO horse
engine, saving 300 pounds of coal daily over the
quantity consumed by the usual form OF boiler.
The other novelty is sub nsrlne bost invented by
Mr.. Villero 1t lis built of iron, asd shaped like
6sb. 35 feet long, "a diameter. and propelled BY
screw three feet across. Light is admitted through
bulls eyes on the top. Tba iron plates, on eaeh

The boat was sunk, excepting part OF her bow, oy

boat. but the portion occupied by the crew wac

two hours under wster thus establishing that part
of the invention The boat is intended to move
about under water in search of lost treasure WRECKS

Our merchants are evidently doing an active Fall
BUSINESS You may SEQ its indications on the side
walks in front Of every great dry goods house IN
the rolling through the streets of drays loaded with
boxes for the Western railroads, aud busting
about very different from July. The great and
small hotels are filed to overlooking with strangers
from South and West and many OF them are com.
peed TO coonize their guests ar ouud the neghbor-
hood, A very extensive system of advertising has
been adopted by some Of our dealers during ak
months past. They have gone largely into tho
newspaper re- at the South and Southwest sparing
no cost 70 make themselves and their wares known
through the cotton and tobacco regions, which seem
10 have escaped the exigencles Of the great crash
two years sgo, and are now flush with money from
sales Of heavy crops at maximum prices. The
effects of this systematic effort are noH beginning
10 appear and it does seem to mo that Tor every
dollar that has been thus spent In advertising,
dozen of profit are likely TO be resped. Merchants
say that the demand for goods is brisk, and that
there seems to be- unusual giut, not~ outstanding
the vast importation of the year. This view Is
somewhat confirmed by the figures of the imports
last week at this port which amounted to S393OOo,
of which seven -eishths went Immediately into con.
sumption. OF these, $4,000 were metals and
hare ware with greater proportion of wooens
and cottons The wholeexports for the same week
were ony 80 552 not enough by ) 500 to pay even
for the cigars which came 10 during the same period.
The braclng change in the weather ba. helped mat
tiers materially driving Thousands of business men
home from the mountains and watering places. In
other respects We have troubles aud experiences
which are surprisingly like your own. While you
are ming up noses at Croton, our Schuylkill is
beginning to be complained Of for its ioalness.
Then if your fnanciers are exercised with new
collapse Of Erie, We have Williamsport and ElmirS
to keep its company, with bare chance OF others;
and though prices at the Stock Board are not
rampant, yet we are encouraged to think tho year
will wind up more hopefully than We had supposed.
