New STEAM FIRE ENGINE was recently tried in
Baltimore and threw stream of water from ] inch
nozzle 220 feet. The order in the construction of
this machine was to try how light steam fire engine
to do efficient service could be made and it weighs
4,7l0 pounds. Other steam engines of the Baltimore
department have greater power, but most of them
weigh twice or more than twice rs much as the
above and are therefore less available for SERVICE

A DOMESTIC DRAMA-A funny affair occurred at
Altoona, Pennsylvania, few days ago. A man of
family named Lehr, had in his employ young lady
who loved her master not wisely but too we'll This
excited the Jealousy Of the lawful wife, who raised
rnmpns in the house, and kicked up fuss generally
The husband did not like this conduct of the wife
and endeayored to calm her feelings by pointing
pistol at her. This raised the excitabities of the
people, who pelted him with rotten eggs, and threat.
ened to tar and feather him and ride him on rail-

himself under the protection of the officers of the law
and was escorted to the lookup. Lehr intends to
prosecute the parties who engaged in the affair."

How TO PRoDUcE LARGE FRuIT-A cores
pondent of the Gardners Gazette, (Eng.,) says, by
a very simple and easy process, fruits of many
kinds may be raised about one-thrd larger than is
usually the case, and Of greatly improved quality
The secret consists in supporting the fruits 70
that they shall not be allowed to hang the whole
weight upon the stalk or twist about in the wind
The Gazette states that when the fruit is allowed
to hang naturally upon the stalk, the increasing
weight strains the stem twig, and thus lessons
the quantity Of nutritious food flowing to the fruit
which may be supported either by tying it to the
branch with piece of string or by enclosing it in
small net. Flowers, such as dahlias or peonies,
may also be rendered much larger by tho adoption
Of this system

WEST POINT ACADEMY-At the quarterly ex-
animation, fourteen Of the new cadets failed to
stand the fire of the examination, and were sent
home. This is about the usual run of things, and
proves that the present manner of selecting cand-
dates by members of Congress is faulty. Tho
choice is now more on political and social grounds
than on the fitness of the young to receive tho
honors and benefits of the institution Moral, in
tellectua and physical qualities should be the test
of admission, all these are just requisite tn
make first class officers in the Army or Navy, as it
is to make superior men in any of the professions
of civil service. AS the law is, large classes enter
and very small classes graduate, and while the in
stituton and Government suffer frem these bad re-
gulations, the young men rejected are greatly
mortified, if not deeply injured in their future
pectatons

roughly that his life in danger. He was then

LAGER BEER FEAT.--A trial of capacity as to
the amount of lager beer that two human stomachs
were capable of containing, occurred on WedDes-

Jep Prior and Job Smith, undertook to drink
ninety-six bottles of lager beer between 5 P. NJ,
and 5 A. NJ, for wager of hat each. They
went steadily at work, and at two o'clock yester-
day morning, had guzzled their quota of 4s bot
ties EACH These travelling beer casks then travel
ed off home, according to witnesses, sober. The
friends and admirers of "Jep" claim that he could
have accomplished the feat easily, alone. This
