An Impr0mptu Invention.


After Albright had invented the spin
ming jenny. he was much annoyed by the
fbres of cotton sticking to the rollers, pre-
venting their running smoothly. Mr..
Strut, inventor of the stocking frame,
who was one of the first to properly appre-
ciate the spinning frame, noticed this
defect, and Arwright confessd that he
had tried in vain to remedy it. ri think
I can cure it." said Mr.. Strut, ''but ii
must be on condition of sharing the pro-
fits" Arkwright at once agreed to the
terms, and Strut immediately took piece
of chalk from his pocket, rubbed the roller
thoroughly, and asked his companion to
try the effect. The success was complete;
the clinging of the cotton fibre was instant
ly at an end. The simple remedy had
attained its object, the reward was earned,
and thus Strut became the partner OF
Arkwright.

last while William Sprouts and J. Callahan were
engaged in picking the powder out Of some shells
near Lynchburg, Va, one of them exploded
under the hands of Callahan, and the unfortunate
man was literally blown to peices. His left leg
was cut off little below the knee and the sever
ed piece thrown some six or eight feet; his left
thigh was also badly mangled. In his right thigh
and hip the bones were crushed through the flesh,
and the flesh itself torn into shreds. Two pieces
of she'll had passed, one through each eve both
going out at the back of the head. The man
Sprouts was slightly wounded on the head.

INSTRUCTION OF NEGROES The churches
seem to vs. alive to the importance Of this
matter. We have already made alusion to
the action of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
in South Carolina, and to the views of Bishop
Atkinson, of North Carolina At the session
OF the Baptist Association, in Richmond, we
are pleased to see that the subject elected the
attention OF that body, which passed reso-
luton, recommending the people to encourage
The negroes to establish day schools for their
children, and to encourage the young men
and women of the South, to engage in the
important work of teaching them The Rev
I. G. Jones, of this city, and Rev. Thomas
Hume, of Portsmouth, were conspicuous mem
bers of the association, the latter Of which
gentlemen was one of the Vice Presidents
and offered complimentary preamble and
resolutions, relative to the Rev. Crawford H.
Toy, OF this city, who contemplates trip to
Europe. This gentleman, and the Rev Thos
Hume, jr., are spoken of for professorships in
the Richmond Baptist College. .5sga.a H.
