CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

Since the introduction of my Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps into the United States, number of Liquor
Mixers in New York, Boston. Philadelphia and San
Francisco have been engaged in putting up mixed and
poisonous Gin in and jugs be palmed off upon
the unwary for my genuine Schnapps. At first, they
boldly counterfeited my name but stopped that
by causing several of them to be arrested They now
conne themselves to closely initiating the appearance
and shape of my bottles and the peculiar wrapper
which have always used. viz: YELLOW PAPER

The SWISS REPUBLIc.-The Swiss popula-
ton is two millions and a quarter. They
are surrounded on every hand by rival ma
tioIs-jealous enemies. They are the best
educated, the bravest, and most highly dis
ciplined people in Europe, and yet their gen.
eral government costs them but one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars year, and this
sum is provided by the annual interest of
public money invested in the funds. They
have neither custom house, nor tax gatherers
as we know them-very few idlers, and fewe-
looking for places as public servants. But
their agriculture and their wineries are mod
els for Europe, their children make our watch
springs, and our laces, and the fathers with
rife in hand have set hostile armies at def
ance on every side of their glorious hills

INDUSTRIOUS LADIEs-An English traveller
who has been astonshed at the idleness OF
American fine ladies, gives the subjoined
idea of how English women of rank employ
their time:
No English woman of rank, with the ex-
ception of a few parvenues,) J from the Queen
downwards would remain for one half hour
unemployed, or sit in rocking chair un-
less seriously Ill. They almost all with
hardly an exception), copy the letters of
business of their husbands, fathers or broth
ers; attend minutely to the wants Of the poor
around them, and even take part in their
amusemcnts, and sympathize with their
sorrows visit and superintend the schools !;
see to their household concerns; think about
their visitors; look over the weekly accounts,
not only of domestic expenses, but often
those of the farm aud the estate; manage
penny clubs in conjunction with the work
ing classes, to help them keep themselves !;
and with all these occupations, by early
hours they keep up their acquaintances with
the literature and politics of the day, and
cultivate the accomplishments of music and
drawing, and often acquire besides some
knowledge of scientific pursuits.

MONEY VALUE OF COMMUNAL BLiss.-We
saw letter day or two ago from fortu-
nate miner at Washoe, who has claim that
pays from $4,000 to S4, 900 per ton, in which
the writer says he would give two tons of
ore to be at home with his family twenty
four hours" Single gentlemen can form a
just estimate from this, of the value of con-
nubial felicity, and govern themselves ac
cordingly. The proposition mathematically
stated, gives a result of immense value in
dollars and cents, per annum: reckoning ev-
cry tweIty-four hours of connubial felicity
to be worth two tons of Washoe silver ore,
at from $4,000 to $4,000 per ton.-Aha.
The hydraulic press., 1860-02-25

MINING ITEMs-We learn from the .Scien-
tifc american that Homer Holland, of Mass,
has secured patent for an improvement in
the mode of treating metaliferous sulphurets.
He treats them with the native nitrate of
lime, or nitrate of lime and nlagnesia, in iron
vessels. Another improvement in gold Sc
pafators has been patented by Robt. L. Rea-
ney, of Philadelphia. He claims that his
machine grinds quartz more finely, and eff
fects a mere perfect amalgamation of the
particles of gold than other machinery, and
with greater economy of time, labor aud
space.
California gold is au alloy, | 900 pounds
generally consisting of about $50 pounds of
gold, about 100 pounds of silver, and the
remainder of other metals.
The annual coal production of Pennsylva-
MIA is worth about thirty five million dollars
BY new machine which is in operation
at the Melville gold mines, in Virginia, tail
ings have been operated upon and more gold
taken therefrom than by the first treatment.
The ground quartz is submitted to the action
of heat, water and agitation, in connection
with mercury; and quartz from which about
from three to four dollars a ton was taken
out, has yielded an average of fifteen dolls.
Some ores, which had yielded nothing by
the old processes, have been treated by the
new process with profitable results. Thus
from one pound Of ferruginious sulphurets
of gold, as much as one grain of gold and
half a grain of silver have been reclaimed
The leading idea of the invention is the
bringing the mercury into such intimate
connection with the fine gold, by minute
dissemination throughout the amalgamating
vessels, as to touch all the particles, howev-
er fine, and combine with them.
The gold obtained from the placers of
Vermont is nearly pure. The yield for 1859
was about $1,000. 1t was taken from a
slate formation.
Pixies Peak gold is not worth much over
fifteen dollars per ounce.
Great Britain produces annually nearly
l,635 million bushels of coal; yet it is said
this amount may be mined in Ohio for 500
years without exhausting more than one
seam.

THE RUSSIAN SERFs. The mobiles of Russia
have pretty much withdrawn their opposi-
tion to the emancipation of their serfs, find
ing that the emperor is immoveable in his
purpose to affect the great social revolution
One of the largest landed proprietors, Herr
Furgeniew, proprietor OF the village of Star
dub, has anticipated the work of general
emancipation, and entered into a voluntary
contract with his serfs, by which he gives
to them their homes and a third part of the
soil. For the use of the balance they may
either pay certain rate of interest, or work
upon it for fixed wages.

On Saturday afternoon, Aug. 25th, our ven
erable friend Jason Kirk, of Penn township,
this county, during a temporary absence from
home, had his house robbed of $l,0S0 1t
height with heavy sandy whiskers, reddish
brown coat and black pants, called at the
house and informed a small boy and q girl,
who were the only persons about the premises
at the time, that a number of cattle were in
the corn field and they had better hurry and
turn them out or they would destroy the corn
Whilst the girl and boy were doing this, the
scOundrel entered the house, broke open sew
eral trunks and two chests, and from one of
the latter abstracted the money; about $500
or $500 of it was in $50 gold pieces, $500 in
eagles and half eagles, and the balance in
silver. The robbery was not discovered un-
til Mr.. Kirk returned from Lumber City, in
the evening, when persons were sent in pur-
suit of the robN e., but no arrest so far as we
know, has yet been made. An individual an
swerlng the description Of the one who sent
the boy and girl to the corn-feld, was seen in
CurwensVille towards evening. The cattle
had doubtless been turned into the corn by
the villain for the purpose of committing the
robbery.

A Dreadful Accidental Man Falls from
the Top Of q Steeple.

Two men were this morning employed in
giving to the dome Of ST. Patrick's church.
West Troy, coat Of white paint Before
going up, one of them, named John Fish
back, was noticed by his companions to
have been drinking, and was demonstrated
with for ascending, but it was said in reply
that he was better able to 90 up in that con
dltlon than though he was perfectly sober.
and as it appeared he was quite rational,
and but slightly under the influence ofli-
quor, he was permitted to 20 up. Sixty-one
feet from the ground is a narrow ledge or
cornice, from two to three feet wide, run
ming around the base Of the dome. Upon
this ledge the two men had been at work
for some time, having previously finished
the painting above by means of ladders
fastened from the cross on the summit Of
the dome.
On this narrow shelving. where the men
were now at work, Fishback would frequent
ly let go all support from the dome, and
walk out on the very edge, to show his nerve
and brayado. The entreaties of his com
panion not to do so, only induced him to
show still greater recklesSness, until all at
once his companion saw him fall He had lost
his balance, and falling struck first upon a
cornlce quite a distance below, and then
upon the ground, falling upon the right
side Of the head and shoulder, instantly Kill
ing him, causing the blood to spout from his
ears, and driving the right side of his head
and face into horrid shape Coroner
Whitbeck held an inquest, and the jury
returned a verdict in accordance with the
above facts. Fishback was a native of Can
ada, and was widower, having two grown
up children, who are, we believe, at work
in Albany.-Troy Times, Sept 7.
