Another important step has been taken
in the Photographic art, the transferring
of photographs to seals, so that the writer
of letter or signer of document can
seal it with his portrait. A thin layer
gelatine is exposed to light under pho
tographic position, by which the parts
acted on are rendered insolublc in water,
while the parts not acted upon swell up
when immersed, and thus give picture
in relief, of which a plaster east can be
taken, and metallic seal cast in the usual
way.

The Aha tells of new copying book
just introduced into San Francisco. 1t
is known as the 6 Penn Letter Book :"
and needs no press in taking copies. 1t
is SO arranged that by using the ink that
is manufactured for the purpose, simple
pressure of the Leaf over the letter to be
copied is sufficient to take very good
impression. No water or liquid is used,
except the ink, aud the whole process is
SO simple and effective that the book must
displace all others in use.

IRON PURcHAsED-We see it stated
that sufficient iron has been purchased
by Holiday & Co. to build the Oregon
Central railroad as far as this city. It is
thought possible that the road will be
compiled to this point early next Fall.
The iron is to be shipped in the early
part of the Summer, SO as to obviate the
necessity of laying the track in such
weather as the Company have expert
enced the past few weeks. But few
more short months and our city will re-
sound with the shrieks of the iron horse,
waking the echoes far and near, and ere
atiug new life and vigor in every branch
of trade. Speed the good time coming

NAVAL REPORT. "A Washington
special says that Secretary Robeson' S re-
port was presented TO the President on
the 26th ult. 1t is pronounced the
abIest and most comprehensive report
issued for years from the Navy Depart
ment. 1t appears that 200 vessels are
under the control of the Department. He
recommends a decrease to $50, and
fayors the use of small vessels. He is
opposed to the further use of Isherwood's S
machinery, on account of its bulk and
weight. He comments favorably on the
success of ironclads, and gives much
space to to comparison of our navy to
that of other countries, from which it
appears that our vessels are equal to Eng
land in capacity, for cruising purposes,
and superior tho those of France. The
entire tonnage of the English navy is
100000; ours $500, 900, and the
French only 1000, 900. He recommends
an increase of the pay, bounty, etc, on
account of the difficulty in obtaining a
sufficient number of men. He recon-
meuds the early completion of the
Darien Canal, and speaks favorably..of the
scheme for subsidizins ocean mail lines.
He proposes using such vessels in case
of war or other emergency. He esti-
mates the expenditure of the next fsca
year at S26, 100000.

was tie, and Mr. Browne, as gallantly as

were equally entitled. This not being
regarded as legal, the candidates cast lots,

in making the following statement for the in
formation of the public:
A. Z. C. Miller insured by ordinary Life

He paid annual payments to January 2l, 1868,
Inclusive Since then nothing has been paid.
lie died August 2, 1869, over eighteen months
after the last payment of premium, yet your
company working under the Equitable Lapse
Laws of Massachusetts, pays the widow and
orphans the whole policy, dedueting only the pre-
MUM due while in all other companies doing
business here, about which we know anything e the
policy would long since have been forfeited,
By the New England Mutual, the widow has
been paid - $50 so. This we consider munf-
cent, more especially when take iuto consid-
Grafton that the family would not have received n
cent from any other company doing business on
this coast. This, in estimation, is enough to
recommend this company above all others, This
is Equity, this is Mutually. We, therefore, rec
ommend this company to the public, as the only
company that has no forfeitures.
We herewith nclose you the acknowled gmcnts
Of the widow. Respectfully, etc.,

friend that he missed going home that

wind up his watch, which having run
down, had stopped at five o'clock. Not
noticing the stoppage, he said he thought
he would take another sleep. On wax

going to bed, he would not have been on

Death of Harvey LiIIey.

Last Sabbath Eve, at eleven O'Clock,
the lamp of life which had been Pickering
in the socket for weeks, went out and
our young friend, just in tho morning OF
life, and only few short weeks husband
has met the ewhite-robed angel boatman"
and crossed the dark river, and already
has wisdom beyond what is given to NOR
tails to know. Born under our nearest
neighbor's roof, we have known him from
infancy, and watched his growth. In
1861, when we called for recruits. to fol-
low us to the field, he was one OF the no.
BILE band who fell into the ranks. For
four years he did good service for his
country, and escaped apparently unharm-
ed. His last sickness, however, develop
ed the fact that he there contracted the
seeds of disease which has taken him to
an early grave; and thus it is, though
that "cruel war is over" as one after an
other of our strong young men fall from
its effects we are bitterly reminded of its
and cruelty. His funeral
takes place to-day from his fathers house,
to which he had been removed some weeks
since, to escape to escape the noise and
excitement of the hotel.

Our Next Governor.

1t is with unfeigned pleasure that VIC
notice several Of our exchanges advocat-
ing the nomination of General Peter L.
Washburn of Woodstock for our next
Governor. No man in Vermont better
deserves the honor, and few, if any, are
better qualified for the position. lie was
our choice two years ago; but, " there's
n tide in the affairs Of men" etc. This
year the tide seems to be at its flow, and,
from present indications, the General will
he borne on to fortune which none but trail
tors can envy. Verify, republics are not
always ungrateful. We can talk of Gen.
Washburn's services to the State and the
Union without blushing. No more ardent
and uncompromising patriot than he ever
served the State. From the hour of MIR.
L;pcoln's first nomination till the last trail
tor grounded arms, his whole life was CIV
en- to the cause of the Union, with All un-
faltering, unselfsh and undivided devotion
worthy of the day of the fathers of the
Republic. In honoring such man, Yer
mont will honor herself.
