for design for boxes for ladies' furs, the Con-

patented and allowed the claim OF the appH.

tofore patents could not be granted, as it was
held that there was no mechanical invention

How to Prevent Kerosene Accidents.

Never fill the lamp when lighted. Trim al
ways by day, putting in fresh oil every morning
and removing the charred portions Of the wick.
Avoid exposing the lamp to sudden drafts,
which blow the flames into the reservoir Of oil
and explode them. Carry them about as little
as possible, and before doing so lower the wick.
Never burn with fame too low, for this causes
smoke and smell. Never extinguish them by
blowing; there is always gas in the reservoir
of the lamp, and the instant the fame de-
scends and comes in contact Herewith, eIplo-
sion follows; put them out by covering the
wick. Ifthese simple instructions are ATTENDED
to explosion is impossible, all bad smell avoid
ed, and light obtained twice as brilliant as
gas at half the cost.

West Virginia and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.

Under the charter given by Virginia origi-
nally to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad it was
provided that the company should be exempt
from taxation within the States limits until its
earnings were equal to six per cent. on its cost.
A question hal, therefore, some time ago arisen
as to the company's liability to tax, and the
supervisors Of Marshall County, West Virginia
brought suit against it. An opinion ia the
case was delivered by Judge Maxwell Of the
Supreme Bench, last Saturday. The Wheel
inc Isteniseneer states that the court decided
all the points in sayor Of the people and against
the corporasioa. aud adds;
81 Fho company claimed that, under their
charter, they wer, exempt from all taxation
tia that par. Of the road within the State
yielded six per cent. net profit on its cost,
claiming also the right to include in that cost
the five millions paid for the Northwestern
Virginia railroad. The court decided that this
FIVE millions is not part Of the cost Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad as contemplated
by its charter; that its exemption docs not de-
pend on the income on that part Of the road
in the State by itself, but that, in ascertainins
the income with reference to the exemption
granted in the charter, the capital invested
in the whole road from Baltimore to Wheeling
is TO be the basis Of calculation. They decided
that. as a matter Of fact, the net income on
this capital invested did not exceed six per
cent. the year Marshall County levied her taxes,
1864 and for several years before; further,
that the net income of that part Of the road in
this State separately exceeded that figure, not
counting the purchase of the Northwestern
Virginia railroad as a part of the cost so that,
even on its own basis, the company Ssubect
to taxation.
"Tbe company claimed that if taxable at all
it was only for State purposes, relying on its
term general taxation in its charter for this
construction. The court corrccts such con-
struction, holding that the term has precise
opposite meaning, subjectins the road to taxa
ton for all purposes as contradistinguished
from specific or special taxation. The court
therefore holds that the road is taxable for all
purposes precisely as the property of a natural
person"

General Grants Visit to baltimore.

The Baltimore papers are filed with inter
esting accounts Of General Grants visit to the
Monumental City From the statements Of
the whole affair Of bis reception and entertain
ment there, we are pleased to chronicle the
fact, that every thing was in a manner highly
sreditable 10 Baltimore aud highly fatteriug
70 It's distinguished visitor.
The absence Of everything like obscquious
toadyism, so shamelully common in these de-
generate days, is really commendable. The
manly. quiet dignity Of the President elect
was especially noticed, aud bis Oft-exPressed
desire to avoid all display, forcibly reminds
one Of the better days Of the past, when repub-
lican simplicity characterised our rulers.
The immediate occasion Of General Grants
visit was the meeting Of the Directors Of the
Peabody Institute, that noble charity Of the
illustrious man whose name it bears. lie also
visited the immense manufacturing establish
ment q Gail & AK, the Boundaries, &c, and
expressed great pleasure in witnessing these
convincing proofs Of the enterprise and indus
try Of the Baltimoreans. On Saturday the last
day Of his visit, the Fire Department Of the City
numbering ia men in full uniform, with
seven steam fre-engines and two hook and
ladder companies, were passed in review by
General Grant, who was much pleased with
their appearance.
A public reception was held at Barnum's
Hotel, when about 5000 people shook hands
with him, and among them about 200 " colored
citizens Of African descent" The usual num-
Der Of babies were kissed by the Chief Magis-
trate elect, who is, as we all know, pre-emi-
neutly a family-man. Altogether, for such
modest man as he is, he stood the hand-pres-
sure maniully.
In conversation on Saturday, he expressed
himself as highly gratifed with Baltimore and
Its people; the energy, enterprise and hosPi-
tally Of its citizens having evidently made a
good impression on him.
