AN IMPROVEMENT ON THE CALoRIC ENGNE.-Mr.
Henry NJ. Paine, of Worcester, Mass, somewhat
famous few years ago for waer-gas experiments,
now claims to have perfected an engine, to be 0pe-
rated bv heated air, which puts 'Ericssons affair
entirely in the shade-as the same power can be
obtained he says, with one-sevenh the quantity of
fuel. His improvement Is represented to be based
upon the asserted fact that 'air which has been
impregnated with a certain amount of moisture in
the shape of vapor will readily expand by the appi-
cation of heat, to seven times the bulk which the
same volume of dry or common air attains with
the same degree of temperature"

George NJ. Weston to the members of the Massa-

He gives the items of the expenditures to the
amount of S25, 900, as follows: Gen. Amos Davis,
of Georgia, So 900; Mr.. McCrae, of Mississippi,
S.. 900; Mr. Pugh, of Washington, $4,000; Mr..

A GHosr IN THE AsToR LIBRARY.-A story is re-
lated by DR.. Cogswell, librarian of the Astor
library, that while engaged one evening, some two
weeks since, in preparing the catalogue of the
library he had occasion to visit the northwestern
alcoye. and there he distinctly saw the figure of
man. dressed in mortal habiliments, calmly sur
veying some books on demonology and witchcraft,
which were placed upon the shelves. The Doctor
recognized the figure as that of physician who
had recently deceased, and had resided in the
neighborhOod. He spOks to his ghostship, but,
instead of replying, the dead man incontinently
vanished. Two subsequent meetings, which the
librarian had with the same parsonage, terminated
in like unsatisfactory manner.

accounts of a very destructive fire at Houston.
1t broke out, as we learn from an extra of the
Republic, at halfpast twelve o'clock, p. NJ,

aammable material, the fire speedily spread in all
directions crossing Main street, and thirty houses,

The loss is estimated by the Republic at S275, 900.

DEATH OF A CELEBRATED DoG.-On, the morning of
the lSth ult. while the lst battalion of Scots Fusi-
ier Guards were returning to their barracks, ac-
companied as usual by their celebrated dog "Bob,"
he was unfortunately run over by a cart and killed.
"Bob' sailed in the SimoOm with the regiment to
Malta in 1854, and on the declaration of war pro-
ceeded to Scutari. He present with the regi-
ment to which he was attached at the landing in
the Crimea, and at the battle of Alma, where he
was returned amongst the list of ''Missing" After
the flank march, however, to Balaklava he again
joined, after absence of three days. He was
present at the Light Cavalry charge at Balaklava,
at Inkermann, and served in the trenches, and at
length was at the final capture of Sebastopol.--
"Bob" returned with his regiment at the close of
the war, and marched into London at the head of
his corps. ''Bob" had been awarded medal for
his services, which he wore round his neck as a me-
mento and decoration. EurODedn Times

A CURIOUS SURGICAL CAsE.-A rare instance of
perfect recovery from desperate wound was
brought few days ago under the notice of the
Academy of Medicine by DR.. Larrey, who at the
same time presented TO that body an American, M.
Preterre, to whose mechanical skill the attainment
of full result was due At the battle of Magenta
a sergeant of the s5th of the Line was struck by
musket ball, which, after completely shattering the
lower jaw, came out behind from under the skull
close to the cervical vertebra, which, had they
been injured, would have rendered the case hope
less. 1t is hardly credible that so extensive an in
jury, inflicted in such an important region of the
human frame, could have admitted of cure, and it
reflects high credit on the army surgeons who at
tended him. To restore the powers of masticaton
by mechanical means, NJ. Preterre was called in,
and succeeded in his task by an ingenious contri-
vance, which has been greatly admired by the first
surgeons in Paris.
