EMPORIUM OF Stove AND TINwARE--We notice
from columns, that Mr.. S. Fiteman, No. so n.
Eutaw street, Saratoga, whose energy in bust
ness and promptness in attendance to the wishes
his customers is known for years. has this season in
creased his assortment of stoves house furnishing
goods and all other articles of his extensive business
and according to past patronage and present pros
pects he will increase largely the number of his
friends and patrons by his choice stock He has also
supplied himself with large variety of suitable fancy
goods and favorite toys for christmas presents and
from what have seen will be able to satisfy the
most faStidious demands of the winter season in his
line.
DOMESTIC CHAMPAGNE.-Mr. John II. Hoffman has
established at No 16 Mcclellan alley, quite an ex-
tensive manufacture of Domestic Champagne, which
distinguishes itself favorably from similar establish
ments in this country in the choice of the material
used for fabrication. He imports from Franco
and Germany the very wines used there fol tho
sparkling beverage and the consequence of it is that
his Champagne is genuine and in quality very little
inferior to the imported brands whilst his prices of
course are much lower. Even experienced connis-
seurs have difficulty to distinguish Mr.. Hofman's
article from the imported of the greatest repu-
tatiOn.
ESTABLISHMENT IN New YORK SrYLE.-Mr John
D. Boss has established new wholesale business of
imported French and German wines, in the basement
under the Marine Insurance Company, northwest
of Water and South Streets and has added to
it pleasant feature, viz: spacious, neatly fur
nished hail. where he serves to all who wish to be-
come acquainted with the quality of his merchan-
discs good glass of wine and decacies of the
season in genuine New York style. He only keeps
his establishment open during the business hours of
the day, and as his angements unique in Bal

we do not doubt he will be largely patronized by

HAvRE DE GRACE. Nov. 6. 1865.
1t is one of the many evidences of the growing skill
and matured taste of our country, that leading
corporations no longer satisfied with cheap and
temporary expedients. We have often admired the
firm and durable structures upon the English and
Continental railroads. conducive to personal COM
fort and safety, and nervously sighed were
whirled over the quivering treste works in our land
This has been the case too when we knew the COM
panies were well able to change this, and were de-
caring large dividends from the very cheapness of
the roads construction. Hence the fearful catalogue
of fralway murders during the year and in times past
Let us hope we the end of this, and that more
liberal outlay upon works of this kind may be cause
of fcongratulation the country through. We are led
to these remarks from rapid examination of the
bridge which the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore Railroad Company is now building over the
Susquehanna at this place. This structure for soidi
ty, skill and patient labor in erection, elegance of
design and nsh and actual cost of erection will be
a monument to the energy and liberal mindedness Of
the Directors of this important road and compare ia
voraby with any other similar work in the world
1t will. when completed, stretch upon the thirteen
PIERS two hundred and seventy five feet apart, from

about three thousand eight hundred feet The height
of the bridge will be twenty-five feet above the

in the centre to allow the passage of schooners and
steamers. magnificent abutment will be built at
each end in which and under the railoav, will be the
regular Station offices and rooms of the Company,
finished in elaborate style. The one on this side
rests upon solid rock about six feet below the water
surface, and laid in concrete. The foundation upon
the Perryville side was made by sinking piles down
to the level of the water then by Of circular
saw attached to upright shaft followed to give it
buoyancy sawed off even with the bottom of the

manner, but where the rock could be reached it was

full Spectacle.

The Savannah National Republican, of last
Wednesday, says:
We learn from passengers who arrived here
on Sunday last in the steamship Weybossett,
from New York, that on Friday, somewhere
in the region of Cape Hatteras, steamer was
discovered to be on fire about two miles from
the Weybossett, and short while after a ter.
rifle explosion took place on board, the
report of which was distinctly heard. The
Weybossett ran down to her, but could see
nothing to indicate where she was from or
where bound, the only vestige left of the craft
being the fragments of wood and floating bar
rels and boxes.
We have been kindly permitted to make the
following extract from the log book of the
Weybossett, which gives all the particulars as
far as known of the terrible catastrophe, for
which favor we are indebted to the obliging
mate of that steamer:
''On the 9th October, at eight o'clock, A.
NJ, Cape Hatteras bearing n. N. W., Is miles
distant, saw a vessel on fire, with another ves-
sci, apparently bark, lying alongside of her
The bark left her about fifteen or twenty min
utes after we first saw her. As soon as she
was discovered to be on fire we ran down to
her, and when within about five miles of her
she blew up, and nothing was afterwards seen
but few spars, boxes, bales, &C.
The mate of the Weybossett thinks she was
small size river steamer, and no doubt used
as transport; and that she had large guam
tity of powder on board, as the explosion was
evidently caused by that material. She was
painted white. He has no doubt the persons
on board were taken off before she blew up,
by the vessel seen alongside of her.
To form faint idea of the fearful power of
the explosion, it is only necessary to state that
large piece of one of the masts was blown
into the air distance of over two miles.

A Useful COmDOsitiOn,

In the Scientific Convention at New Haven,
Prof. Olmstead stated that rosin added to
lard gives it degree of huidity not before
possessed by the lard, and also prevents the
latter from forming those acids which corrode
metals-copper and brass for example.
Several important practical applications re-
suit from this property. Its use for lubrlca-
ting surfaces of brass or copper has already
been alluded to. 1t is equally applicable to
surfaces of sheet IRON | have found a very

able ingredient in the composition of shaving
soap. The quality of shaving soap is greatly
improved by larger proportion of oil than is
the alkal; but such soap easily becomes rancid
when wet with water and allowed to remain

added to common Windsor soap (say one half
