PETROLEUM AS FUEL.-Appafatus
for generating steam in stationary en-
gines. or those on steamboats, or loco
motives, by the use Of crude petroleum
for fuel has been in operation in Wash
ington city for month, and Is at last
pronounced a complete success by engI-
neers and machinists. The petroleum
IS evaporated and burned in the fur
mace in the form of gas. Perfect safety
from accidental fire is claimed. The
inventor maintains that with this ap-
paratus he can get up as much steam
power with two gallons ofpetroleum as
is usually gotten with ton of good
coal that is, he can run a locomotive
or steamship as far and as fast with one
barrel of oil as with fifteen tons OF coal.
and with much more convenience and
safety. The application of the inven-
ton to driving the machinery OF a
foundry in Washington is to be made
to day, for the benefit of officers OF the
Navy Department, who are to report
OHlclaIIy upon ~.
DEMOREsT's MONTHLY.-Th isand a
sewing machine is beginning to be CON
sdered Indispensable by young house
keepers and ladies generally; but the
Monthly must be had, whether the
sewing machine is or not. One of the
great things in its favor is, that gen
tlemen like it. They find it sensible
instead of frivolous, full Of practical in
formation and useful ideas, which save
young and inexperienced wives and
mothers any amount oftrouble and eX-
pense. The illustrations and patterns,
the music and other departments, are
each worth the cost, and we advise
husbands who want to do really good
thing for their wives, themselves, and
the family generally, to send $500 to
83S Broadway, n. Y, Immediately.
BARN BURNED.-The barn of Ad-
am c.. Diehl, ofNapier township, was
burned about noon on Monday last
with all its contents, consisting of hay,
grain &c. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 Nothing definite is known as
to the origin of the fire. Mr.. Diehl
was away from home at the time and
only arrived to find his barn in ashes.
This is a serious misfortune for Mr..
Diehl as he had just purchased the
property last spring and was labor
ing hard to secure home for himself
and family, and could i'll afford the
heavy loss that has so suddenly fallen
upon him. We bespeak for him kind
ly sympathy and assistance of all who
have it in their power to encourage
and assist .-Laquirer.
