stamp machinery is in successful operation and
doing good service, at less expense in point of
fuel than any other similar works on the Lake.
They are now stamping 90 tons of copper rock in

most economical work of this kind which we now
remember, and this much more extensive
machinery than that of the Adventure

Gov. Morgan was inaugurated Governor of the
State of New York on Saturday. The oath of office
was administered by Gov. King, after doing which
he addressed few remarks to Gov. Morgan, which
were replied to. The Albany Atlas and Argus, a
warm Administration paper, and of course an op-
ponent of Gov King, says of him
Gone thing can be said of Gov. King with great
truth and great credit him. The stain of personal
of official dishonor does not attach to his admin

with the conviction on the part of the public that
he is an honest man, and that appliances in

| PHILADELPHIA, JAN 3.-Senator Douglas arrived
here this evening route to Washington. He was

dressed them, using about the same language on
| the occasion of the New York serenade. He did
| not suppose the demonstration was intended as a
personal compliment, but evidence of attach
inent to principles for the Union he had struggled
| to uphold.
| speech from Mr.. Forney was then demanded,
| in which he denied the mputation that Mr. Doug
las is to be received Presidential candidate, but
as the hero who had stood up against msapplied
official power and conquered-and besides he is the
guest of the city through the actions Of its councils

Work FOR ALL SCHoLARs.-There is now being
made in England, by the well known Pathological
Society, effort to form dictionary of far more
perfect nature tlan any which the world has yet
seen.
The Society in question has for President the Rt
Rev. Lord Bishop of ST. Davids; its Vice Presidents
are the Bishop of London, Lord Lyttleton, Edwin
Guest, Master of Caus College, Cambridge; and H.
H. Wilson. Sanskrt Professor at Oxford. 1t
boasts, in short, the highest talent in England
A year ago, this Society determined to form
collection of words hitherto unregistered by great
photographers, for the purpose of forming a sup
Elementary volume. Such enormous wealth of
words thus acquired, that it was thought well
to compile more scientific Dictionary than now
exists. To aid them the Society have issued six
penny pamphlet, appropriately published by the
bookseller and celebrated philoogist, Trubner, who
will also publish the Dictionary. In this prospec-
tus the rules to be followed by all scholars who
may be inclined to aid, laid down. and list of
the works given, necessary to be carefully exam
ined for words. As containing list of perfectly
English books, the prospectus is ofitselfa curiosity
According to the first requirement. it is held that
ereyy cord occurring in the literature of language
should be in perfect lexicon, the canon being re-
jected which converts the photographer into an
arbter of style, and leaves it to his discretion to
cept or reject words according to his prrats notions
OF their comparative elegance or inelegance. All
English books which have been recognized as STAN
dard are consequently proper sources of material.
The English language is recognized having ap-
peared after the sem-Saxon, and about the end of
the reign of Henry III. The historical principle
will be adopted in the treatment of individual
will now be given to clearly educe the senses OF
each word not only from its Chronology but from
its relations to others.-Phila. Evening Bulletin.

BALTIMoREAN MIssING.-A correspondent of the
New Orleans Pieayme, writing Dec 18th from on
board the steamer Suchil, the Tehuantepec
route, says:
| regret here to add that DR.. Martin, purser of
the steamship Oregon, is missing, and under cir
cumstances which make it feared that something
serious has befallen him. The last seen of him he
was going ashore at Acapulco. That was two days
before the Oregon sailed, and though during that
time every possible search made, nothing could
be heard of him. 1t is believed by many that he
decoyed off and robbed. He had at the time
about ST 500 on his person, or rather that amount
appears to be missing from the safe. DIR. Martin
was, understand, from Baltimore, where he has a
large circle of friends residing.
The Galena Courier says that within few DAYS a
new and large lead mine has been discovered near
Fairplay, Wis, and on first working it, 1000 lbs.
were taken out in few hours.
