PRESCRIPTIONS A correspondent of the
baltimore Sun urges most strongly the fol-
lowing suggestions, which he admits are
not likely to meet with favor from apothe-
carries and physicians: ga law should be
passed by each Of the State Legislatures
compelling, under heavy penalty, oil ply
sicians 10 write all prescriptions in words
at length in English, specifying the quanti-
ties in grains, scruples, drams, ounces, ETC.,
instead of by the signs or marks now used.
The apothecary or druggist should likewise,
under heavy penalty, be compelled to keep
all of his bottles, jars, boxes, etc, labelled
in English. II this is made obligatory by
law, fewer mistakes will be made. The
person who goes for prescription or article
ordered, can see from the label on the bot
tie, jar, box, ETC., if the prescription or ar
ticle ordered is Of the same name, etc. and
if mistake is about to be made he can have
t rectfed,"

A MAN From CoRRY SQuEALs.-We pub
lished two or three days since, an item say
ing that young man from Cory lost $4OO
at gambling table in Pleasantville, a
few days since. He squealed over bis re-
ported loss, and make an attempt to arrest
the parties who won his money, but they
were too sharp for him, and got out OF the
way. We asked at the time who this indi,
vidual so courageous, was, and have since
been informed. We understand his name
is Brown, q travelling agent for q Cory
boot and shoe house, and instead of loosing
$500, he only got rid of SAG at Pleasant
vile. Hope he has learned lesson, and
we beg his pardon for thus placing him be-
fore our readers.

THE EcLlrsE.-At all points wher the
eclipse was visible, with the exception of
Philadelphia, it was seen under the most
favorable conditions, the sky heing compar
atively cloudless, and the predictions OF
scientific men as to the peculiar phenomena
which would be manifest, were verified to
almost the minutest detail. In our own 10.
cality, where the eclipse was not total,
many sing ular and beautiful appearances
were absent, but the slowly stealing shadow
OF the moon, which gradually reduced the
sun to crescent, and the twilight gloom
which was thrown upon tho hills and hous-
es, with the chilliness of the atmosphere
made it scene Of peculiar interest and ev.
en- solemnity. In two hours and a half that
circular shadow Of one hundred and forty
miles in diameter had swept over the earth
from the west to the east, forming belt of
its own width moro than six thousand miles
long. Tho centre Of tho belt from Alaska
to the coast Of North Carolina, was total
eclipse. Tho most delicate and accurate
instruments have been employed in making
observations, and astronomical science will
undoubtedly be enriched by the wonderful
spectacle Of Saturday afternoon last.

PETROLEUM TRADE.

At Pen Horn, on the New York and Erie
Railroad. about four miles form Jersey
city, is an extensive depot for storing pstro.
leum in bulk. A large quantity of the coal
oil is received here, as much as l2O cars
sometimes arriving in a day, having been
brought directly from Pennsylvania wells.
Each Of the oil cars has two fixed tubes or
tanks, each tank holding forty barrels. -
On arriving at the depot the oil Is removed
from the car to receiving tank placed at
the side Of the track. This is most eject.
vely done by an application Of the syphon
principle. One end Of great iron syphon
is placed in the car tank, and the other end
is put into bucket Of oil in the receiving
tank. The air is then exhausted from the
syphon by syringe, and the pressure upo n
the surface Of the oil in the car tank con :.
tnnes to force it rapidly through the syphon
into the overhowing bucket until it has all
passed from the car tank into the receiver.
Four thousand gallons of oil, it is asserted.
may be emptied from one tank to the other
in this way in less than iive minutes time.
From the receiver.sank the oil is pumped
by steam into huge round iron reservoirs,
capable Of holding 10000 barrels each
These reservoirs are made Of the best boiler
iron, and are tarred and sanded upou the
top, to shed the water. In these receptacles
the oil remains until it is required for ship,
ment, when 1t is forced by steam pump,
driver by an engine of forty-horse power
through line OF iron pipes, seven miles
long, to Weehawken, on the Hudson, where
1t is again pumped from the reservoir into
elevated tanks upon the wharves.
