A Stone.Breakinp Machine.

A new invention is just brought out in
Chicago, for the purpose of breaking stone.
The breaking apparatus consists of two heavy
caStron cylinders, armed with teeth, some
what after the manner of a bark mill, but
much larger. These are driven by heavy
cog wheels. Over the cylinders is a hopper,
also Of cast iron, into which the stones to
be broken are thrown. The broken stone
comes out from shute at one side, like
grain from threshing machine. The patent
of the machine is owned by the Chicago
Stone, Coal and Mining Company. The
New York Central Park Commissioners have
purchased one. 1t is to be used in breaking
stone fora macadanizing the streets in that
Park, for concrete, etc. Its weight is about
twelve TONS and costs 81 200. 1t is cacu-
lated to break about forty tons of stone in
twelve hours. The stone is broken into
pieces of the ordinary size for macadamizing,
and the machine may be adjusted for small
er or larger size. Not only rough stone
but bouders sixteen inches in diameter are
broken in the machine with equal facility.
A quantity of iron ore from Lake Superior,
much harder than any stone, was also broken
in the machine with the greatest facility.

TELEGRAPH TO CUBA.-The work of sus-
pending the telegraph wire which is to San
mex Cuba to the United States" was COM
menced in this city yesterday, under the per-
sona direction of Mr.. A. S. Kennedy, the
energetic Superintendent of the Cuba and
United States Submarine and Territorial
Magnetic Telegraph Company. Substantial,
square sawed poles have been planted
through Bay street, thence to the line of the
Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad, along
which the wire is run; and we understand
that the poles are now being distributed
along the whole route through Southwestern
Georgia and Florida to Fernandina, from
which point the line will extend to Cedar
Keys, thence by a submarine cable to Key
West and Havana. We understand that
all the materials are ready, and that the
work II constructing the line from Savannah
to Fernandna is to be pushed forward with
out delay. TO the commercial interests of
the country this line of telegraph, when
completed to Havana, will be of great inn
portance. Sapannah Ne,us.

not destroy. The scrofulous faint IS variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis

above all, by the yenereal infection. What

Exciting Scene--Capture Of Alleged
Fugitive Slave.

considerable excitement was created about
ten minutes before seven o'clock this morn

colored individual, in the Market House, by

which had been issued by the Slave Commits
sioner, Hoke Longstreth. commanding the
Marshal to capture one David Dangcrfield,
late Of the State of Virginia, setting forth
that he was the property of certain Eliza
beth Simpson. Consequently these officers
came here and captured the individual in

whatever that he was the man whom they

before hea-tless Slave Commissioner in the
city of Philadelphia, where he has little hopes

rested has been living for a number of years,
with the Rutherfords few miles from town,
bears an unexceptionable character, and has
\
been married about six years, aud had two
children, both of whom are dead-the last
one dying only last Friday news OF
the capture spread rapidly through town;
and upon coming to the ears of his wife, she
at once fed to the depot, and arrived just III
time to take last farewell look at her hns-
band, who was sitting quietly in the cars
manacled in irons, and there we beheld
most heartrendering scene. The unfortunate
wife gave vent to her feelings of sorrow al
being thus suddenly separated from her hUs
band. Her pitious cries brought tears in the
eyes of many of the by-standers, who hac
before calmly looked on. If this man hae
