PHILADELPHIA ENTBRPRIsE.-The extensive

and COlu mbia avenue are now being altered to
suit the business of the large manufacturing firm
styled the Boston and PniladelphtH Salt Fish

of the company consist In so shreddlng or
desiccating the salt goldfish as TO require, 10

minutes only. Lately the demand for the
article has greatly increased, but the company,
with their new facilities, deem themselves
fully able to furnish any supply required. They

prepared article per day. The advantages Of
the desiccated Goldfish are too well known 20

4 new and very dangerous " lnfernal
machine has been invented and "success-
fully" tried in San Francisco. A street
car partially filled with passengers was
thrown violently from the track one eve
ming. Al inside supposed az first that il
was another earthquake. 4 search for the
cause Of the disturbance revealed an ex-
ploded torpedo firmly fastened to the rail
of the track. In general appearance it
resembles an old fashioned watch, being
about two inches in diameter and five
eighths of an inch in thickness. 1t was
composed of Russia eet-iron, with two
strong clasps OF lead, by which il was Sc
cured TO the rail OF the track. Fixed in
the interior Of the torpedo and nearly
reaching its upper surface were three gun
nipples soldercd to the lower plate. They
were armed with ordinary percussion caps,
and were exploded by the car wheels
passing over them. The machine was filled
OF course with some powerful explosive
mixture. The whole affair is shrouded in
mystery. The object aimed at was no doubt
to see what an explosion Of that character
directly under the wheel of car would
effect. The reckless daring which prompted
the inventor to give ii q trial in the very
heart of the city points indirectly to the
probable use TO which others Of larger
calibre may be put.

Some time since, while party of sailors
were on their way TO Boston (UiG the Sto-
nington line) from New York, one had the
misfortune TO lose his cap. \ comrade
said he would make that all right, and
upon entering a car opened one OF the
windows, and as the train moved off reach
ed out and seized cap from the head of a
man who was standing at the side of the
train, passing it TO his friend with the re-
mark, There, guess that will fit you"
The man from whom it was taken gave an
alarm and pursued the train through the
depot, shaking his fist at the sailor, VINO
coolly retorted, CAMS fair in war, my

A bold and adrot system of robbery is
being practiced in Boston. 1t consists of
cutting out a piece of window-pane by
means of diamond, and removing the
same with what is termed q "sucker,"
placed upon the piece cut out. On Satur-
day evening jewelry worth $3.50 was stolen
from store through such an aperture, and
on Monday evening a brokers' office was re-
lieved of watches and diamonds worth 1915,

MARY HARRIS, THE WASHINGTON SHOOT
Err REALLY INsANE.-A Washington cor
RESPONDENT writes that Miss Mary Harris,
who was tried and acquitted for the muir
der of Burroughs, at the Treasury a few
years since, is now an inmate of the Insane
ASYLUM near that city. After her acqultfal
she went to Richmond with the lad y with
whom she had lived while residing IN chi
cago, md who had taken much interest IN
the girl during her incarceration and trial
She lived quietly there for some time, when
one of her peculiar spells came upon her
in which she attempted to shoot another
man for some real or fancied wrong, when
she was bundled up and sent to the asylum,
where she has ever since remained, appa-
rently willing and contented prisoner
Her old counsel frequently calls and takes
her out riding, and maintains his deep in
terest in her case. Since her last attempt
to shoot there has been more faith in her
insanity as set up in the trial. Whether
sane or otherwise, young men had best be-
ware of her displeasure when armed.

would not he ut all surprising if England
and France were connected by a bridge
within few years time. The scheme of
uniting Europe and America by telegraph
wires certainly seemed less feasible and
more difficult of success ten years ago. A
company has been formed in Paris having
for its object to prove, by means of large
models, the practicability of NJ. Boutet's
scheme for the construction Of bridge be-
tween England and France; the models
also to serve as types for bridges and via
ducts requiring no piers, and to demonstrate
the application Of the same principle for
the construction Of portable bridges. One,
half of the capital for carrying out the en-
terprise has been subscribed in France
and it is expected that the remainder will

Government has placed one of the public
buildings of Paris at the disposal of the in

him to explain his project in the great hall

mammoth undertaking the contemplated
bridging of the East river is an Insignia

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.
AsrEN WALL, CHARLOTTE, VA,
January "a, 1869.
We had quite an exciting time here day
before yesterday, caused by some difficulty
between Rev. Alexander Martins oyerseer
and some blacks. 1t seems that the ne
groes would not work, and when the over
seer commanded them to, they cursed him
and used very insulting words. He then
became very mad, and went to the house to
get his pistol. When returning, the ne.
groes saw him, pistol in hand, and became
somewhat frightened, and told the man that
had been most insulting to run, or the over
seer would kill him. Whercupon the fell
low started off, and the overseer shot at him
three times. The other twelve blacks said
they would not stand and let white man
shoot at their friend so they put out to
their cabins. Five Oft them got guns and
the other seven axes, and swore that they
would kill the overseer; and indeed they
did run the fellow clear off the place. The
negroes hereabouts are very unruly, and
We anticipate more difficulty. ".

PETERSBURG, January &c, 1869


The question of lighting our streets with
kerosene in place of gas is seriously enter
tanned, and an experiment Is about to he
instituted, under the superintendent OF
a member of the Common Council, to deter
mine their relative cost. In fact, the sub
iect of light has been one Of not little
anxiety to our city fathers for several
years and the size of the burners has been
reduced from time to time in order to
ascertain the largest amount Of illum1-
nation that could be dispensed consist
eut with rather exhausted treasury.
1t was thought the problem had oeen
solved a year or two ago, when the stree's
were provided with three-quarter burners,
situated nj awful distances, and emitting
their feeble rays Just sufficient to make
darkness visible. It must he confessed
that the change from gas to oil at this late
dav does not speak volumes in favor of the
enterprising spirit Of the Cockade city,
which, with as good coal az any in the
world, cannot manufacture gas cheap enough
to come in competition with the mineral
wells Of another part of the country. But
not only the city, in its official action, hut
numbers Of citizens also, have latterly dis
pensed with gas and lighted their houses
with oil. If there is any lesson TO he
learned from this il is that the maDufactu-
rers of gas should set their wits to work to
provide n cheaper article than they have
been in the habit of furnishing.
Negro boys, not to be outdone by their
seniors, not unfrequently engage in the
pleasant advertisement of cutting scrapes.
One of these was enacted to-day, in which
one of the parties received seven or eight
wounds in the head and hack, some Of them
quite severe. The guilty one was arrested
and put in jail.
A contretemps of very annoying nature
occurred this afternoon ut the southern de-
rot. The train from Richmond arrived in
due time; and while the through passen-
gers were quietly seated at the dinner
table enjoying the good cheer of mine host
of Jarratt's Hotel the conductor gave the
signal for departure, and the gentlemen
were left behind. Among the number were
the president of the Wilmington and Man
chester railroad and the president of the
Southern Express Company-in all, some
twelve or thirteen. 5.
