In THE PROCEEDINGS of the Literary and Phlc-.
sophica Society of Manchester it is stated that to
MIR. Mercer may be attributed the discovery ofthd
peculiar action of caustic soda and sulphmic acid
upon cotton. This singular process, now caliet
after its inventor &c Mercerizing," has the effect
of untwisting the naturally twisted and fattened
tubes of cotton flaments, and converting. them
into cylindrical tubes. When colors are applied to
cotton so treated, they pass more readily through
tho minute pores of the tubes, and are precipita-
ted indense layers on<the intdPg6tt tth@lstter,
whereby darker and more permanent shades arc
produced. Calico 30 treated becomes Greatly in
creased in strength, and though hitherto no large
quantities of cloth have been printed, owing to the
expense of preparation, advantageous been taken

Sudden pcatli.


A melancholy occurrence took place
last week in Belmont county, about II
mile from the mouth of Pipe Creek, on
the farm of Mr.. Thomas Johnson. Mr..
Wm.W. Evans, ayoung man formerly of
Maryland, who, up to the time mention
ed, had been in the employ of Mr.. john
ston some three months, left the house
quite early, for the purpose of bringing
some horses from an adjoining field.
Remaining an unusually long time, Mr..
Johnson became apprehensive that all
was not right, went in search, and on
approaching the gap leading into the
field where the horses were pasturing,
was startled to find the young man "
ing PROSTATE cn the ground, in an un-
conscious and almost lifclcss condition,
and in few. moment expired. Mr..
Evans had been in rather delicate
health for some some time past, and all
the facts elected at the Coroner's in
quest tended to the belief THAT death
was occasioned by some violent disease
of the brain. He is spoken of by all
who knew him as u moral, truthful, in
dustrious, Trustworthy young man, and
his death ismueh lainented by the fam
lily with whom lie lived.
