The LONDON TINES 0FFICE.-Mr Story son
OF one Of the proprietors of the Rochester Dem
ocrat, writes to that paper an account of his
visit to the office of the London Times. We
copy portion of this narrative:
One of the most interesting and novel depart
ments OF the establishment is that in which the
stercotyping process is carried on You know
perhaps, already, that every number of the
Times is printed from stereotype plates, thus
saving great part Of the wear and tear of the
type The stereotype plate is taken from the
form In three minutes, by a new process, in
vented by Swiss and known only to him. A
thin layer OF soft and damp papier mache first
receives the impression of the type, and after
It has been hardened by the application of
neat, the melted lead is poured on which is to
io7m the stereotype plate. The pspier mache
has the power of resisting the action of the
melted lead, and comes out of the fiery trial
uninjured, and almost unscorched
The plates are remelted every day after the
issue Of the day is printed from them, and the
waste Of type metal from day to day is very
slight. BY this power of multiplying the num-
Der OF forms from which the same side of the
paper can be printed, the Times can use three
or four presses at once and thus print its 50 O00
copies, on an emergency, in two hours time.
The Times employs in its establishment some
$50 persons II has eighteen reporters at the
Houses Of Parliament, and for these, as well as
the majority of its compositors. the working
hours are the night hours exclusively. It owns
four cabs, which are employed solely in carry
ing reporters and reports at night to and fro
between Printing House Square and the Pal.
ace at Westminster. The reporters relieve
each other Mt the Houses every quarter hour,
and thus though the debate in the Commons
lasts till four o'clock in the morning the Times
gives it In full by sunrise, though It cover two
whole pages of the journal.

FINDING DROWNED PERSONS BIZ QUIcKsIL-
VERA correspondent Of the Troy Times gives
the following narrative of an occurrence at
Shrewsbury Lake, VT, as coming under his
own observations:
The lake is noted now on account of the
death Of young man, a conductor on the Rut-
land and Burlington railroad, who was drowned
In 1T short time ago. At the time, be, with
several others, were playing, rocking the boat,
making 1t dip water'-when, unluckily, they
were all swampsd. and this young man, the
best swimmer in the lot, was drowned. After
a long and almost hopeless search after the
body, very novel idea was suggested, which,
after trial. proved successful in leading to the
discovery of his whereabouts About three
ounces Of quicksilver were put into a loaf Of
brown bread, well baked. and thrown out into
the lake. The loaf was discovered to move di-
rectly against the wind; soon it stopped, whirled
around several times, and sunk They imme-
diately rowed to the place and threw out the
grapplers-ths first time they hooked his face
the second time the hook fastened to his boot
and he was hauled into the boat Where he
was found the water was seventy feet deep. In
his pockets were a large silver watch and n
considerable quantity of silver money, which
caused the attraction Of the quicksilver, and
led to the discovery Of his watery grave"
