in business.

FRIGnrruL ACCIDENTAL few days ago,
says the Columbia Times, a German named
W. Ireuss, formerly of Vallicita, while at
work on hydraulic claim near Robinson's
Ferry, met with fearful accident. Ii seems
that he was "piping," when large tree that
stood on the bank, as he thought securely,
fell on him, striking him across the stomach.
breaking bis left hip, and injuring him in a
most frightful manner. His partners saw the
tree when it was about to fall, but the un.
fortunate man could not hear their shouts,
owing to the noise made by the water. His
life was despaired of for several days, but
thanks to the skillful attention of DR..
Schmidt, the poor fellow is likely to recover.

The GREAT CoMET.-A Boston paper
says that the comet which attracted so much
attention last summer can still be seen with
the telescope near the star Eta in the con-
stellation Hercules. 1t Is entirely shOrn OF
iss tail, and nothing remains but nucleus
OnvelOped in a nebulOus shroud, the whole
not unlike in appearance small planetary
nebula. Astronomers are not agreed Is TO
the time of its next appearance, but caIcu-
allOn indicates period Of something less
than two thousand years. On the 2sth Of
June last the nucleus of the comet was only
twelve and q half millions OF miles from
the earth, being It's nearest approach, while
the tail was thought svea actually to In
fringe upon our globe. Since then 1t has
been sinking away into the depths Of space,
its pace gradually slaCkening as 1t recedes
from the sun. According to table ealcu-
lated by Mr.. G. W. Tuttle, one Of the Cam
bridge astronomers, It's distance from the
sun on the I'd Of November was 2S2, 400, 900
miles, and from the earth 2ss,SOO,OOO
miles.

DEATH OF SEC. SEwARD's SoN-IN-LAw.-
A letter dated at Richmond, from Hon. Alfred
b. Ely, has been received at Rochester, New
York, stating that Calvin Huson, one of his
fellow prisoners, is dead. Mr.. Huson was
son-in-l law of Secretary Seward, and had stud
led law in Mr. Stewards Office. He had been
District Attorney of the Rochester district, and
was appointed by President Lincoln, four
months ago, one of the Costa Rica Commits
sioners. He was the competitor of Mr.. Elv
for Congress at the last fall election in New
York. He was quite a favOrite at Richmond.
and several days before his death was removed
to the house of a rich citizen OF the place. He

way in the woods after the battle, and was

SECRET STEEL BRRAsTPLATE.-A divided
breastplate, composed of thin spring steel con-
fined between the cloth and lining of a common
since by Mr.. ]. s. Smith, an ingenious inventor
and mechanic of this city. 1t is composed Of
two leaves which lap over at the edges where
the vest is buttoned, so as to cover the entire
chest. Being formed of thin springisteel plate,
and weighing only three and a half pounds, it
can be worn with ease by any officer or soldier
during the most active exercise. 1t is very
strong in proportion to its weight, as it can
resist the thrust of a bayonet or sword, and il
will repel the bullets Of muskets and pistols at
ranges which would otherwise be fatal tn life.
We saw 1t successfully resist powerful thrust
from heavy steel-pointed pike. 1t answers
every purpose Of light steel cuirass.-[Scientifc
