The message contains the repeal of a loan
passed March, 1852, authorizing the per-
mission of companies for the detection of
horse thieves and other felons as under this
law associations have been formed that have
arrested and punished individuals without
bringing them before the proper tribunal
for trial He recommends the erection of
suitable buildings for the use of the State
Officials Judges Supreme Court, and de-
postory for public records. Says revenues
of the Wabash and Erie Canal have greatly
diminished, and it is feared will prove
wholly inadequate to keep the canal in re-
pair, and by them alone it cannot be main
tanned and that the bond-holders are uu-
willing to Sustain the work by any other
means than those derived from the revenues,
having already invested one-half of the en-
tire debt of the State in the work itself,
besides Ss0o,000 in It's completion They
have informed the Board, in the most formal
manner, their determination to close the
canal and abandon the work whenever its
tolls and revenues shall be inadequate to its
support.

BLAzH-PRooF DRESSES. = The Medical
Times says:
"The melancholy accident by which the
Ladies Lucy aud Charlotte Bridge
man and Miss Plunkett have been such
fearful sufferers teaches a lesson which must
not be neglected The light fabrics manu-
factured for ladies dresses must be made
blaze-proof. Nothing can be more simple
The most delicate white cambria handkor-
chief, or feecy gauze, or the finest Lace may,
by simple soaking in weak solution Of
chloride Of zinc, be so protected from blaze
that if held in the fame of q candle they
may be reduced to tinder without blazing.
Dresses 80 prepared might be burnt by acei-
dent without the other garments wore by
the lady being injured. When poor Clara
Webster was burnt we incsleulated the same
moral and now the dresses Of stage dancers
are prepared in the way we recommended.
Why are dancing ladies of rank to be ex-
posed to danger from which their dancing
sisters by profession are protected The
hint may be put to a profitable use by some
enterprising manufacturer"

"Ar. Webster married the woman he
loved, md the twenty years that he lived
with her brought him to the meridian of
his greatness. An aneedote is current on
this subject, which is not recorded in the

mate with Miss Grace Fletcher, when the
sksin of silk getting in knot Mr.. Web
ster succeeded in unraveling the snarl-then
looking up to Miss Grace, he said: sWe
have united a knot don't you think we
