The Richings troupe brought out in
Philadelphia the " Gear and Zimmerman"
In speaking of this performance, q cor
respondent says Of the unaccompanied sex
tette "There is something eloquent IN
male uoice harmony, and l have never on
this side of the ocean heard anything of the
kind that / enjoyed as much as the render
ing of this sextette by Messrs. Bernard
Castle, Campbell, Arnold, Seguin, and
Peakes and the encore which it received
was one of the few, in general, which
deem fully and fairly won and lend my OWL
aid to secure" We hope they will give us
this opera when they next come here.
The negroes of this city, tired of submit

cheated them with idle promises for two
years, have organized Seymour and Blair

In Lyme, Conn.,, the other day, MISS Ell
len Marvin sent to drug store for tincture
of rhubarb, and taking a dose Of it, became
quite sick, and died next day. Examina-
ton revealed the fact that some poison
probably oxalic acid or corrosive subli-
mate-had been mixed with the medicine,
whether accidentally or by design is un-

STEAM ON THE CANALs-A NEW ExpER1-

STEAM ON THE CANALs-A New EXPERT
MENT.-The Oswego IN. y Commercial
Advertiser says: "The boat s. D. Gibson, of
Fulton, which arrived here this morning,
attracted great deal Of attention, from the
fact that she is propelled by steam. The
ellison is of the largest class OF canal-hoats,
of 1900 bushels capacity, and her hull is
of the best oak. The machinery is all in
the stern, and occupies but little space, the
engine-room being SKIS feet. She is pro-
vided with two capacious and handsome
staterooms and o fine cabin, the seats in
which are made 30 as to fold down and form
beds like those of sleeping car. The en-
CINE is model as to finish and action, and
reflects great credit on the maker. 1t has
15xlO cylinder, and is provided with two
twelve-horse boilers. The boat is propelled
by fve-feet Delamator wheel with the
Gilson improvement, which is capable of
making from sixty to one hundred revolu-
tons per minute, according to the speed re-
quired. She is supplied with water tank
in the bow, containing 100 cubic feet of Wa
ter, for the supply Of the engine when ON the
river, so as to obviate the necessity of using
salt water. This also serves as trimmer,
and is exhausted and supplied by the mo-
ton of the engine. The boat is provided
with both rudder and wheel, and steers
with either at option. 1t is calculated that
the engine will consume from 500 to 1000
pounds of coal per diem, when on the canal,
and about LOO pounds when on the river,
giving IN average speed of two and half
to three miles an hour on the former, and
six miles on the latter. In running down
from Fulton, light, last evening, the boat
made four miles an hour without any effort.
"The water, coal, engine, and boiler
weigh nine tons, the coal bunker carrying
$500 pounds-a sufficient supply to last for
the trip to New York, when it is calculated
that she can take one or two boats in tow on
the river. A siphon is also provided in the
hold for blowing out bilge water, which it
does rapidly and effectually. The ellison
when light draws eleven inches of water
forward and eighteen inches aft, and the
hold, even under the engine and boilers, is
all left clear for cargo.
GA patent has been secured on all the
improvements connected with this boat,
which is now on her trial trip, ard is load
ing with corn for New York. The owners
do not claim that the boat is perfect, but
they do claim that she is nearer that than
anything of the kind ever before put upon
the canal. They are simply making an
experiment, which they hope to make sue
cessful. The first cost of such boat is
81, 800, while an ordinary laker built of
the same material, in similar manner,
would cost $4,000; and it is question
whether it is not more economical at that
price, in case the experiment is q success"

GENERAL HENNINGSEN.-Acor correspondent
Of the New York Herald, writing from Wash
ingtcn, says:
There is tall, erect, slim gentleman,
with blue coat buttoned up to the neck,
and an Enthusiastically military bearing
that is General Henningsen, an adventurer,
whose life is full Of romantic interest, and
would furnish material for half dozen vol
umes. He has travelled all over Europe
and America; has been in the Spanish
army, the Austrian army, the English army,
and the Hungarian army. He was with
Walker, the gray-eyed man Of destiny"
in Nicaragua, and, in fact, was the military
mind of all Walkers daring enterprises.
During the late rebellion he was brigadier
on the Confederate side, but quarrelled with
Davis and threw up his commission. Now
he is quietly residing in this city, waiting,
like Micawber, for something to turn up"
