GATES FOR CANAL LoCKs.-C. w. Will
lians, of Port Jervis, N. Y, has recently
made an improvement upon gates for canal
locks. The Scientific American, speaking Of
this invention, observes that, ga novel means
of opening and closing the gates. and pc
culiar manner of hanging them, constitute
this invention, whereby the small balance
sweeps are dispensed with and the gates are
allowed to be operated with comparatively
little friction, and are rendered capable Of
bsine closed much tighter or with less Leak
ace than formerly. There is also device
for Operating the wickets, whereby both wick
els may be operated singly from one and the
same crank-shafl." -. 4

BALTIMORE Coal MARKET.-No change
to note in prices since last week. The de-

able change, such as will give to our miners

employment, unless We can bring about a
change from the suicidal policy of our gov

lures by admitting them free of duty. We

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL, of Cincinnati, in a
pastoral letter Just published, speaks as fol-
lows: ''Thc idlencss of boys when they leave
scholar dlencss which is not always will
full, but compulsory-idlc because unable to
lind anything to dove regard as one of the
most fruitful sources of vice, and one of the
greatest evils of society. 1t is such an evil
that we look on the military despotisms of
Europe, which take young men from ther
families or the streets for a term of years, and
compel them to serve in the army, as a
comparative blessing. In the service they
acquire habits OF obedience to Supporters, clean
illness, regularity and order. In our large
cities, hundreds of boys and young men are
wasting energies which they are anxious to
devote to the conquest of respectable posi-
ton in society, and therefore to the public
good; but they know not what to do; they
are idle because no man hath hired them"
[If parents would do their duty faithfully,
and would train their children Alright, there
would be fewer idlers and rowdies. Educa-
ton is free to all in this country and yet, many
parents prefer to let their chrldren grow up
in ignorance and vice.

The Frederick Examiner says: Immense
injury has been done to the apricots and peach
trees in this vicinity by the late frosts and
the impressions is general that the prospect
of crop of these DELICIOUS fruits is wholly de-
stroyed. Many horticulturists have resorted
to various expedients to save their fruit from
the blight, though few. it is supposed, have
succeeded. However, We were shown some
peach twigi yesterday, grown in a sheltered
situation, which have wholly escaped and
are led to hope that the exemption is greater
than is generally expected.
