Weary Of Life and Wearter or WIFE
A Modern OthelIo Cuts His Throat
with n Raznr

Weary Of Life and Wearier or WIFE
A Modern OthelIo Cuts His Throat
with Razor.
Anegro barber named Willism Certer, who
resides near the corner Of Sixth and Calvert
street, for several years past has been troubled
with wife, who, he AYERS, spends all the
money he can make for dress, and Is not any
too careful of hor husbands honor. She in
ssts upon promenading the streets when she
should be attending to his comforts, and go
ing to balls and parties when she should be in
his bosom; arousing him early in the morn
ing, or very late at night, to admit her when
she returns from her masqueradiDg, and in
delivering, in the shrillsst tones. the most
emphatic Caudle lectures, when he expostu-
lates with her and complains Of her naughty
ways.
For long time be bore this treatment, and
with entrestiea tried to win bis erring wife
back, and the duty she had forgotten, but
without avail. The thoughts 10 which her
conduct gave rise, troubled him during the
day, and many face passed from beneath his
hand not moro than half shaved, In conse.
quence Of the mental agony he suffered, origin
sting in the conduct of his wife.
Once he left her, but tho Xsntipps followed
and brought him back; still bis jealousy and
her misdeeds annoyed him. Yesterday he be.
came as weary Of his life ~ he was of his
wife, and in Ct Of desperation seized razor
and inflicted terrible cash in his throat with
d view to rid himself Of both "at one full
swoop." He failed, however, anda physician
being summoned, dressed bis wound, and
declared that he would not die. Let US hope
that his ebony worser-half will henceforth
give him no cause to regret that his success in
attempting to detroy himself was incomplete.

EWoSDERFUL EFFECT OF ADvRRrIslNa-As
UMBRELLA RsTURSED.-If any one doubts the
efficacy OF advertising in the PENNY PRESS,
we would stste, miraculous as it may seem,
that an individual who lost his umbrella, and
for advertising it in our columns barely es.
capped incarceration In the Lunntic Asylum,
positively had the article returned to him
yesterday the miracle Of honesty being a
constant reader of our little journal. We do
not believe that so wonderful an instance Of
the success Of advertising has precedent
and we are certain we never heard Of parallel.
A paper whose advertisements will induce a
man to return on appropriated umbrella, must
exercise an influence more subtle than meta
physics can penetrate and broader than msthe-
matlcs can measure. Wensed no better acquaint-
anoe Of our excellence than the fact we have
recorded, not only as medium Of advertising,
but as great moral instructor. Who, until
tue PENNY Press was established, ever heard
Of mortal returning an umbrella? Great is
the PRESS, and advertising is its "prohts."

PALMER's ROTARY PUMP.-We are glad to
have the opportunity to say that Captain Oliver
Palmer has made Cincinnati, 90 we'll as Boston
and Buffalo, q point for the manufacture of
his new patent pump. The rear part Of
McLean's Oil.mill Building, East Third street,
on Miami Canal, is now full Of activity In
getting up large supply for tho West Of
these simple, compact and effective pumps, In
vented by Captain Palmer. We witnessed
the operation Of large and small sizes, yester-
day, and can soy that the right invention has
been mado In this pump, In lifting and forcing
water at light expense. We are not very good
in describing mechanical contrivances, but ws
can say that We saw q small pump which Ia
not larger than an ordinary sised wooden
bucket working away like mad, lifting up
aud forcing through one inch nozzle, to q
distance Of one hundred and ninety feet, o
volume Of water equalling a discharge Of four
hundred gallons Of water per minute. There
are six sizes. We saw one work which would
discharge, from wrecked vessel, ten thousand
gallons Of water per minute, at q lift Of from
eight to Bfteen feet. They are portable, easily
adjusted, they need no packing, no tinkering,
or repairs; they can discharge refuse water
in which are chips, oakum, Junk, grain, &C.,
"ithVat onVhihB VI Ooobt uotauS INC I0kuldI
and continued action Of the pump. These arc
what are wanted on the coast, to drain marshes,
overflow Of levees, &c. The Brooklyn Water
works tried them and soy 'they will raise and
discharge mud, gravel, quick. sand, and the
like, in any quantities, II there is enough
water with 1t to take suction. Half the vol
une We have discharged has been gravel and
sand" That's what Is wanted on wrecked
vessels, particularly in the Mississippi River.
The Captain Is manufacturing here, also, his
Portable Steam. .engine, one Of them drives
his whole. machinery, lathes, pumps, 60.
These portable engines are now and o much
needed contrivance; they are cheap and can
be taken to any needed point. But there is
one Of the Power Pump which sells for
Sl25, which should commend them to manu-
factories subject to fires, and should reduce the
rates Of insurance. The pump is placed In the
lowest story and connected with pipe run
ming through the roof. On each floor, and on
the roof may be attachments for hose, and the
power Of the machinery applied will drown
out any break out Of conaagration. Owners
Of furniture factories and country mills should
take note hereof. We cordially welcome to
our city a thoroughly business firm, who will
take forward place In the ranks Of the
manufacturers who are building up and ad-
vancing Cincinnati. These novel pumps are
worthy Of examination and experiment.
