Poisoned by a Fly.
A Singular Case.

We regret to learn that Capt. Green, deputy
inspector of boilers, and assistant engineer Of
the fire department, is still confined to hia room
with very bad arm. About q fortnight ago he
was ON the cars going to Whitehall, when he was
bitten on his right hand, between his thumb and
index finger, by an insect which entered the
carriage, and he soon experienced considerable
pain, which gradually increased. He showed
his hand to . druggist, who told him that the
pain was probably caused by . mosquito bite, and
painted the wound with iodine. Il increased to
such an extent, however, that the captain CON.
suited physician, who, too, believing it to be
an ordinary mosquito bite, treated it accordingly.
The arm and hand meanwhile swelling to such
an alarming extent that it was considered Judi.
eious to take further advice. DR.. Bontocon was
consulted, and is of opinion that the wound had
been caused by the bite of common house fly,
which had been feeding on carrion, and had COM
municated the poison. The pain and swelling
continued to increase, and erysipelas set in. On
Saturday Dr.. Aiken, who 10 attending Bontioon's

TENPERING STELLA mechanic Of this city
euoloses US the following in reference 10 highly
important invention in the important art of tenn.
pering steel: s....r.
Among the curiosities in tho British Museum,
are some tempered copper chisels, found among
the ruins of Herculsneum, at depth of one ham
drsd and thirteen feet below the surface Of the
earth. These chisels are so hard that they will
cut steel or glass like diamond; and at the same
time possess the toughness of copper. They are
labelled, Give thousand pounds reward will be
given to any person who can temper copper equal
to these TOOLS" But this lost art has never been
revived. Yet process nearly a. valuable for
tempering steel, has recently been disco vered by
Q workman in the Stubs Steel Works;at Masbro,
Yorkshire, England. This branch Of Stubs
Steel Works is situated within one hundred
yards of Walkers Iron foundry, where the famed
London Bridge was cast, and where they have
Piston bellows that will blow . hole through an
ordinary ten inch brick wall, and 1t has here been
discovered that by cooling piece of red hot steel
in this intense blast that it hsrdens the steel like
diamond, gives it grain, aud also leaves it e.
tough as iron and almost as tough as copper.
If this is not the celebrated Damascus mode Of
tempering steel, 1t ia equal to 1t. When we con.
slider the annoyance and loss of time caused by
brittle and crumhly ohisels and all of the tenn
pered steel tools generally, even when done by
the most skillful steel workers, the Importance
Of this discovery can hardly be over-estimated.
To have the steel tough, as well as hard, 10 the
ultimatum of all teinpering. This newly dis
covered process has been patented, and the pat.
ent has been sold at high price to Charles
CANNED & Co., of Sheffield, for the tempering Of

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has recently decided that a one-dollal
stamp only is required upon deed con

actual payment. The point in dispute
in this case arises from the additional

THE FRANKLIN INSURANCE COMPANY.
Elsewhere in this paper we print a
list of the losses paid by the Franklin
Insurance Company Of Wheeling for
the year ending May l, 1869. In refer
ring to the business operations of the
Franklin Company, it affords US pleas
ure to bear testimony to the high stand.
ing of the Company, the energy and
integrity of its managers, and especially
its undeubted reliability and prompt
ness in financial point of view. We
learn that arrangements have been made
for widely extending the field of opera
tions of this old and popular Company
In accordance with the laws of Ohio,
the officers of the Franklin have depos-
tied sos, 900 with the Treasurer of that
State, to enable them to establish agen-
cies and carry on business in Ohio. The
high reputation of the Franklin will be
the assurance of its success in the Buck
eye State, an event of which none will
hear with more satisfaction than the
countless friends of the Company here
at home.

EXPAND THE LUNGs.-God intended

he did the roses and the morning Glo.

become, they would, if they should obey
his laws, and cut Incidence and corset
strings, and indulge in freedom and
fresh air. For girl to expect to be
handsome with the action of her lung,
dependent on the expansive nature of a

CHILD DEsERTED.-A woman well

Jones, made her appearance at the cal
aboose night before last, having with
her q bright looking little boy some two
years old, and asked for lodgings for the
night. Yesterday morning when ques
toned as to where she obtained the
child, she said its mother had left it on
the cars and so she took 1t. After drag
ing the little fsllew about the city for
four hours she apparently wearied of
her charge and at last went of and left
it on the streets, and has not been seen
since. The child was finally sent to the
Poor House by some of our kind-hearted
officials.

LIGHTING UP.-We are glad to know
that Ritehietown is to be lighted up.
Some twenty or twenty-five lamps will
be erected this next week in which car
bon oil will be burned. The plan there
is that any citizen who chooses may put
up lamp post and lamp, and the Coun-
Gil will then keep them trimmed and
burning, the only expense to the citizen
being in obtaining and putting up the
lamp.
