SHop-LIFTING.-This city custom is
becoming quite fashionable in Elkton. We
were informed of case that occurred this
week. A lady from the country went into
one of the principal stores, in town, and
asked to examine their stock of shoes
She turned the lot over and examined them
but declined purchasing, their being none
to suit One of the clerks, however, noticed
her slip pair into a covered basket, which
she placed in her carriage The clerk
watched an opportunity, and quietly ex ract,
ed the shoes from the carriage, but on close
examination, discovered that he had got hold
of Il pair with another merchants cost mark
on TEN. He then made further search and
obtained the shoes he had seen the lady slip
into her basket. The merchant was sent for
whose cost mark was on the shoes first re-
covered, who claimed and took possession
of his property, saying that the same lady
had been in his store looking at shoes but
went away without purchasing. The lady
made no inquiry after her missing property.
This business is dangerous, and some who
practice it will yet find themselves in the
hands of the sheriff, before they are aware
of it.

FUEL SAVING DAMpER.-Mr. w. w.

FUEL SAVING DAMPER. MIR. w. w.
Paxson, of Bucks county, Pa, has bought of
the patentee, Mr.. John Lining, of Philadel
phia, the Right for this State of his fuel
saving damper. This contrivance is very
simple, being a square hole in the stove
pipe, with sheet iron slide working in
grooves TO open or close the hole as required.
The philosophy of this damper, which was
patented by the inventor December goth,
1864, is that the aperture in the pipe being
left open, a current of cold air rushes in and
fills the upper section of the pipe and fue,
and by its density preventing the heat from
ascending and escaping up the chimney,
while the gas from the coal is either con.
sumed or escapes with the current of cold
air. When the coal is thoroughly ignted,
the stove arranged with one of these damp.
ers, is closed. The draft being entirely shut
OIL, the heat prevented from escaping up the
pipe, is distributed through the chamber,
and the coal slowly consumes, keeping
regular heat in the apartment. These are
the qualities claimed fer the invention. Mr..
Paxson fixed one of his fuel saving hampers
in our office stove this week, which, if en-
titled to the merits, on the score of economy,
claimed for it by the inventor, we will more
particularly notice in future.
Necessity was the mother of invention in
this case, as in many others The patentee
was seated in his Office one of those intensely
cold days last winter with red hot stove,
and yet the Office was not warm. He found
the cause was that the heat escaped mp the
fue; and in order to remedy this evil, he
concluded to try the experiment of letting in
a draft Of cold air above the heated, and thus
prevent the escape by the pipe of the latter
The experiment proving SO beneficial, the
discoverer patented his hole in the pipe
damper, which is being spread rapidly
through the country.

We received note from DR.. Wallace,
this week, saying that the statement in our
issue of :. last week that "a mob directed and
encouraged by DR.. Joseph V. Wallace and
Mr.. Steele, had assaulted and severely beaten
several inoffensive Union men," &C., is I'M
true. 81 pronounce" says the Doctor, sthe
statement a talsehood, and the author of it
aciJm and malicious far.' The Doctor
does not say whether the whole story of a
mob, or only his directing it is false
Now, Mr.. Barwick, who was one of the au
thors of the statement, did not say that the
DR.. directed but that he Seemed to be-,
director. The DR.. hasn't read correctly
but he will have an opportunity at the next
term of court to yindlcate his innocence and
answer all questions touching the anatomy
of those paddles, executed in his lot, on
election day, and other judicial questions
touching the contents of a certain demiiohn.
