Patent Bronze Metal Sheathing |!
MANUFACTURED BY THE
NesC Bedford Copper Co.

N the manufacture of Yellow Metal Sheathiug IL
has been the universal practice hitherto as II still
Is with other Manufacturers to nnmerse the sheets
after all rolling Is done, In acid bath The effect
sought and obtained by this process Is to give the
metal the fine yellow color to which 1t owes its dis
tnetive name. .,i -
But this effect u.s. of necessity attended by resuls
Injurious to the metal. The hard and highly polsb
ed surface, formed on the sheets by successive heat
ing and cooling and the action Of the rolls Il re-
moved, and surface left in Its stead-brieht indeed
but rough pimpled and unequally corroded and con
sderabiy softer han the surface removed
| No one can doubt that any given sheet of shaatb
ing metal mnst be better with hard smooth sur
face than with a softer and rougher surface
This Improvement In the art Of sheathing ships has
been ecured by Letters Patent OF the United Stafes
TO the New Bedford Copper Company.
The composition of this metal is exactly the sarne
as that OF the yellow Muntz metal the sole diner
ence being in the surface finish. II IL believed TINT
this Is very important and will add months to the
wear OF the metal. ~

TENDERNESS TO TURTLEs.-A society
has lately been established in the clty
of New York for the prevention ot
cruelty to animals" Being novel
thing, its proceedings are marked with
the activity and energy which is said to
characterize the use of a new broom.
They have not only had parties arrested
for alleged cruelty to horses, COWS, calves
and sheep, but a few days ago made d
complaint before police justice against
the captain of q schooner who brought a
cargo of turtles from Florida 1t ap-
pears that the captain had caused holes
TO be bored in the fins and legs of the
turtles, and cords had been passed
through to tie them, so that the turtles
could not crawl overheard and escape.
This, and the additional fact OF keeping
the turtles on their backs. the society
alleged, were cruelty to animals, and &C
cordiugly made complaint. Much testl-
mony, medical and otherwise, was taken
on the INSTRUMENTATION the turtles
had feelings or suffered pain, and OF
what substances the fms and legs We're
composed, and how long they lived, one
witness averring that they could easily
exist two hundred years; aud how their
nervous organization was composed
whether placing them on their backs
troubled them, and many other abstruse
points, until the police justice began tc
get befogged, and begged the witnesses
10 desist, whereupon the magistrate dis
missed the case, and the "sympathizers'
with turtles left in high dudgeon.

The undue excitement which led sc

a word that would lift this source of

suspended, and the adyenturer WoIiu
become disheartened. But, fortunately,
there were some who believed on welt
grounded reason that the great body 81

vet been reached. Among those WHO
have been patient in the belief, and nave
been persevering-who periled their i I

mated on the E W. Petty farm. Since
then seven hundred barrels of oil have
been shipped from it, and the
we'll shows no signs of decline
in it's production. They also
struck, on the same farm, a large and
beautiful well at about $50 feet, which
eau ght fire at the same instant. After
burning thirty six hours, it was ex-
tipguished by approaches. So soon as
this was done the country TO the north.
ward was filled with large springs OF
oil which, at first were detected by. a
rumbling noise Wherever this noise
was heard hole was dug is or 20 inches
deep from which men and boys were
gathering oil at the rate of one hundred
| barrels per day, and others twenty and
thirty per daS. The work continued
only until Messrs Jones & M'Conaughey
fixed and pierced the tubing and seed
bag, when the wells failed altogether.
The temporary owners of these wells
were very Industrious and speculative.
The spirit of speculation on Wall street
could not have been more animated
than it was during the brief existence OF
these extraordinary wells. Since the

yielded 5000 barrels of oil. NJ. James
