at Altoona, on Saturday morning at two
o'clock. Mrs. DR.. J. M. Gemmill for
merly Mrs. DR.. G. ]. Harris had retired
at eleven o'clock the previous evening, in
her usual health and in fine spirits
About twelve o'clock brass band called
to serenade the doctor, and about the
same time he was called away to see a pa
tient. After the doctor left, Mrs. G. arose
and called her neice into the room to hear
the music, and then sat down at the win
dow. When the band had finished play
ing her neice turned to speak TO her, and
observed something unusual in her ap'
pearance. Mrs. G. left her seat at the
window and threw herself upon the bed
Her neice approached her and asked hel
whether she was suffering, and she re-
piled, Severely" A messenger was al
once dispatched for the doctor, who wa:
soon at her side, but he found her insen
sible, and she expired in few minutes
Her death was caused by apoplexy.-

Ice FOR DIPTHERIA.-A correspondent
of the Providence Journal vouches for
the efficacy of ice as cure for diptheria,
Group, and all ordinary inflammation of the
throat. The manner of application is as
follows:
Break up small lump of ice in tow
el, and put the pieces in a bowl. Take
position slightly inclined backwards, ell
ther in a chair or on sofa. Proceed for
half an hour with a teaspoon to feed your
self with small Jumps of ice, letting them
dissolve slowly in the back part of the
mouth or the entrance of the throat. A
single such application will often break up
common sore throat, which otherwise
would have course Of two or three days
In case of bad sore throat, use the ice
frequently and freely. In case of ulcera-
tion or diptheria, keep small lump Of ice
continually in the mouth.

ADVENTURE WITH FEMALE DEsPER-
ADo.-Mr. John Watts (of the Watts
House,) was the hero Of an adventure a
few days ago, which rather surpasses any
thing we have heard of lately. The cir
cumstances of the affair are as follows:
"a female of thes free and easy style,
arrived in this city, on Tuesday night, BY
the Quincy train, and took lodging at the
Watts House. On Wednesday morning
she expressed desire to take short ride
in the country, in order to relieve the en-
nui that had settled upon her, at her quar-
ters, at the hotel. For this purpose a
horse and buggy was procured, and Mr..
John Watts, with his gallantry, yoluu-
teered TO drive. The horse was engaged
TO go mile and half; after having
gone something over that distance, Mr..
Watts suggested that they had better re-
turn, as he had promised the owner Of
the horse to return in half an hour-but
her plans we're not to be frustrated in this
way, and, after demonstrating with her
driver TO go ahead-and finding he was
rather disposed to return-she drew re-
volver and presented il to the ear Of
Watts, telling him at the same time to
drive just where she wanted him to 60, OF
she would blow his brains out. John,
not being accustomed to such scenes,
weakened in his boots and drove as she
dictated. The route they took was rath-
er circuitous one, and after having driv
en- twenty-five or thirty miles they pulled
up at house about two miles north o.
Rushville. The lady here alighted from
the buggy, and told Mr.. Watts he could
now find his way back. In bidding adier
to her friend John, she entirely forgot t.
pay for her ride. John returned here
about 8 o'clock the same evening, sad
der if not wiser man. John says he vii
never ride with woman again unless h'
has his revolver with him.-Record, MI

August 1851, Mrs. HeOfich gave birth

family line, and point with pleasure a
their company of German infantry. Gov

The Printer.

B.F.TAYLoR, of the Chicago Journal,
writer whose every word is poetic tho't,
thus speaks of the Printer truly and pret-
tily. In those pretty pictures Of language
what word painter so artistic, so exquisite
as he? Read it, think Of it, and say, for
you cant help it, it is So"
The Printer is the Adjutant of thought,
and explains the mysteries Of wonderful
words that can kindle homo as no song
can-that warm heart as no hope can
that word "we," with a hand-in-hand
warmth in it, for the Author and Printer
are engineers together. Engineers in
deed When the little Corsican bonn
barded Cadiz at the distance Of five miles,
it was deemed the very triumph ofengin-
eeripg. But what is that range to this
where they lombard the ages yet to be.
There he stands at the case and mar,
sbals into line the forces armed for truth
clothed in Immortality and in English
And what can be more noble than the
equipment of thought in sterling Saxtor
-Saxton with the ring of spear or shield
therein. and that commissioned it wher
We are dead, to move gradually on tC
"the last syllable of recorded time."-
This is to win victory from death, fo
this has no dying in it.
The Printer is called laborer, and The
office he performs is toll. Oh, 1t is no
work, but sublime rite he is performing
when he thus "sights" the engine tina
is to fling a worded truth in grande
curves than missiles ever before described
filings it into the bosom of an age yet un
born. He throws off his coat indeed bu
we wonder rather that he does not put Of
his shoes from off his feet, for the plac
whereou he stands is holy ground.
A little song was uttered somewher
long ago; it wandered to the twilight fec
bier than star;'it died upon the ear; bu
the Printer takes it up where it was ly
ing there in the silence like wounde
bird, and he sends it forth from the Ar
that had preserved it, and il flies into th
future with the olive branch Of peace, an
around the world with melody, like th
dawning of spring morning.

a question how torpedo could be safely
carried in front of vessel without inter
fering with its steering and other i'm
provements, and at the same time secure
from explosion until the proper time.
The Alta nta' torpedo gearing sovles the
question. The forward part of the ram
of the Atlanta is solid iron, twenty feet
in length, and so overlaid by steel bars,
with their ends protruding below the cut
water that huge steel saw is formed,
which would cut any wooden gunboat in
comes to point, if L may so call it,
about two inches square.
From the deck of this iron ram, just
ahead of its juncture with the vessel,
arises strong iron bar with pivot at
its top, to which is attached a massive
iron boom, which runs just over the ram S
PROV, and then forming an elbow, 1t de-
scends three feet below the water line,
where it forms another elbow, and then
running out some two feet it forms at its
end powerful socSet or ring. In this
socket is firmly inserted another iron
boom, which extends beyond the socket
twenty-eight feet, and at its end is hung
the torpedo, all capped and ready for
the explosion From this cap runs an
insulated wire along the boom, and end
ing in the pilot house, where are the
necessary electrical arrangements with
which the pilot can explode the torpedo
as soon as it was run under vessel.
You can hardly conceive of a more per-
feet or efficient engine of destruction
than such torpedo, and thus carried.
The iron ram also is savage enough in
its appearance, and would saw a hole in
a wooden vessel without much difficulty
