new engine of the Boyden Engine Company,
Walthan, Rev. Thomas Hill, of that town. who
was unable to be present. sent in speech, in
which is the following paragraph, which con-
tains valuable hint
" When the sad fir at the corner of Central
and Newton streets was raging some years ago,
went with friend from another State an old
fireman. to look on. He remarked that those
who held the pipe seemed to him not sufficient
iy governed by the great principle which is the
secret of all success in battling with fire. This
principle is expressed in the most important
precspt play lo'c. Throw your water-not on
top of the fire where it will be turned aside by
roofs, floors, and other obstructons or touch
ing the fire, will fly off in useless vapor-but
throw it at the lowest burning point, that the
steam generated may at once ascend through
the fire and smother it-throw the water at the
lowest burning point, which is by its ascending
heat encouraging the whole fro--destroy first

Sonora and Chihuahua.

These two Mexican provinces are attracting
considerable attention on account of President
Buchanan s recommendation in favor Of their
occupation by our military forces. The pre-
tense is, that such a hostile step is necessary to
the protection of our citizens in Arzona-al-
though no attempt is made to dispose of the
very obvious question, why line Of military
posts on our own frontier would not answer
every purpose. But there can be no doubt that
the measure is designed as the entering wedge
ior separating these provinces from the Mexicsn
government and annexing them to our territory
Such plan has long been entertained by some
Southern politicians, and now it is though that
the most favorable time has arrived for carving
it out
Sonora is the most northwestern of the States
OF Mexico, its western boundary l,eing the Gulf
of California. Area, 1913 ,467 square miles:
population in 1854, l47 ,233 population to the
square mile, l3 Sonora is thus the largest
and most thinly settled of the Mexican States.
The population is supposed to consist of the
aggregate portion of elements in Mexico, viz:
three-fourths Indigenous, one-third only of the
remainder pure European and Indian. The
climate is warm but agreeable, and much of
the soil fertile. A great variety of natural pro-
ductions is exhibited, although the quantity is
measre. The principal port is Guaymus, which
has the best harbor in the Gulf of California.
and which is said to be Mr. Buohanans favorite
terminus for u Pacific Railroad A naval ex-
pedition has been ordered thither, for what pur-
pose remains to be seen
Chihuahua pronounced che-oo ah ooah with
the accent on the first q, or more popularity
Chewawa) lies east of Sonora, occupying cen,
trail position in the Northern States of Mexico
Area, 100, ,26o square miles population in 1850,
l47,6OO; population to the square mile, so.
The present population is estimated at from
10000 to 100000, with an exceedingly small
percentage or the pure Castlllian race. Chihu-
ahua is the watershed of Northern Mexico. and
besides sending streams 10 the Atlantic and Pa
citic Oceans, has several running into its own
lakes. Much of the country is elevated, with
delightful climate. The principal productions
are corn, wheat, beans, peas, red pepper, apples
peaches, onions and in less elevated regions,
hgs, granates, melons. grapes, &c. The grapes
are Of very fine quality, from which 600 bar
rsls of brandy arc annually made for export.
But the raising Of stock is more important than
agriculture, as the country, on the whole, is
better adapted for 1t. Mining is also extensive

CONSUMPTION OF GOLD AND SILvER.-The con-
sumption of gold and silver at the present day
for household purposes is enormous, its appica-
ton having increased rapidly since the dscov-
cry of gold in California and Australia. The
amount of gold and silver annually taken from
the mines of Europe is valued at twenty-five
millions of dollars. In America, the yield is
compu ted to be one hundred and forty-six mil
lions, and Asia produces twenty-five millions.
Africa has no silver mines, but produces gold
to the amount of nearly three millions of dol
lars. Australia is also without silver, but pro-
duces gold to the large amount of two hundred
millions.

A FUNNY BLuNDER.--We are indebted to
friends every little while for Omaha, Nebraska,
papers. Yesterday we received copy of the
Omaha Times of the I'd. We perceive that
Capt A. j Smith, formerly resident of Flor
ence, and now living at tho gold mines in Ne
braska, arrived at Omaha the other day, on his
way to Kansas member elect of the Kansas Leg
slature 1t appears that he and his gold
searching companions went to Pixies Peak in
Kansas. Not finding gold there they continued
on their travels, and unbeknown to themselves,
entered Nebraska Territory, where a settlement
was formed Thinking they were in Kansas,
they proceeded in due time, to elect Captain
Smith member OF the Kansas Legislature
We presume the gallant captain will not be ad-
mltted to seat, although he has just as much
right there as many who have sat in Kansas
Legislatures. es.-Darenport Gazette.
