In the morning at four O'Clock, a dense
fog arose along the line of Otter Creek for
many miles distance until about six o.
clock, when it slowly passed towards the
northeast, and the moisture thereof con-
gealed heavily upon the trees. As the sun
gradually approached the horizon, the

of beautiful slippers as Christmas gift
from the Ladies of the Congregational So
ciety of Middlebury. Valuable in them =
selves they are doubly precious as "an
expression oftheir appreciation" of my

measure me and my want, and not know
it, SO as to get such an exact fit for both

durable, are made of perishable material,
and will wear out in time, | am afraid

last the garments, and keep my heart warm
towards them after the gifts have ceased

says of ALIENS LUNG BALSAM:
A REMARKABLE CuRE.-Mr. Samuel Lewis, one
of the old Pioneers of Cincinnati, was vely long,
apparently in the last stages of Consumption, and
given up by the physicians when some kind
friend recommended him to use ALIENS LUNG
BALSAM. He did so, and Immediately commene
ed recovering and is now able to attend to bus-
ness. lie says: SIN truth, | may say it hai saved
my life Mr.. Lewis is well known in Cincinnati,
aud the fullest confidence may be placed in his
statements. 1t is due therefore, to the commune
ty, especially those suffering under this terrible
malady, that other sufferers may avail themselves
OF the remedy. With pleasure, therefore we refer
to this cure.
From our knowledge of the merits OF this sx-
cellent Balsam and what we hear of its merits
we think it should be at once used by all persons
suffering from cough. or any pulmonary COM
plant. We hear that many far advanced in con
sumption have been cured by its use

The CHEMICAL FIRE-EXTINGuIsHER.-
Pecent improvements of form of appar-
atus known under this name have render
ed it an important auxiliary in the preven-
ton of fires, and one well worthy of being
kept in all public buildings, as well as
private establishments, which are not abb
solutely fire-proof
1t consists simply Of cylinder, OF
about the size Of common water-cooler,
which, when filled, can be carried about
by means Of a strap passing over the
shoulders. The liquid employed is a
solution Of bicarbonate of soda, and tar
taric acid in crystals is placed in a per-
forated tube screwed into the top of the
cylinder and dipping down into the liquid.
The contact of the acid and alkali, OF
course generates carbonic acid gas, which
rises TO the top, and is ready for use, and
can be drawn off through pipe whenever
required A moderate current of this
gas turned upon burning surface will
eXtnguish it almost Immediately, nc
matter how intense the fame may be, OF
how inAammable the substance in combus,
ton. In one instant a mass of dry light
wood composed of barrels, splitwood, and
shavings saturated with petroleum, equal
in quantity to several cords, was set on
fire, and allowed to burn for some time

were subdued instantly.
The gas does not deteriorate by being
kept, but remains ready for use an indefi
mite period of time,
1t may be stated, in this connection
that not many months ago fire broke
out in the fine building of the Boston So
ciety of Natural History; but the services
of an extinguisher were called into play
and the flames were instantly ubdued un
