Ssezera' Ice.

On Saturday last two blocks of H.
from the n,anuEactory Of Mr.. John See.
gers, Of Columbia, vas received at this
! Office, ard the sight of this specimen
gave US pleasure, for the indcfatigable
Scegcrs had given US o satisfying evil
dencc that he had brought his venture
| t. successful issue. We return him
| thanks fer the very cool token OF his cs-
TEEN. rs the most Of our readers know
but little Of tie process, and perhaps do
not know that there is such an establish
mcnt in Columbia, We copy the following
description from the Phtonix:
THE ice machine was manufactured az
| Halle, Germany, and was imported by
Mr.. SccgcrS at an expense of about$ 900
in gold. The factory, machinery, and
/ appurtenanccs cost about 5ll 600. 1t is
rather difficult to describe the apparatus,
| but we will endeavor to do so briefly
| First is tho boiler, encased in brick, in
which tie ammonia is heated, and is
thence conveyed, by pipe, through a
cooling box, into the freezing tank.-
Through this tank, the pipes containing
the ammonia pass, and the tin boxes,
| continuing the water to be frozen, are
placed between them. Thus it will be
| seen that the ammonia and water do not
come in contact at all. The tin boxes in
which the ice is made are about three
feet long, s-7cn inches wide, and three
inches deep. The piece Of ice when taken
| out will weigh about twenty pounds
The freezing tank will contain l26 Of
these boxes Thus it will be seen
that 1920 pounds of ice can be made at
one operation, which will occupy about
five hours. The capacity Of the machine
is near G000 pounds per day. The ice
is made from water drawn from Taylcr's
Spring. The cugine which drives the
machinery, pumps, &C., was made by
Mr.. J. \. J. Derrick, at the Industrial Iron
Works, and is very neat and compact IN
its structure. The establishment is un-
der the control of Mr.. Vaass, the
present"
| The chunks of ice for the Herald, came
| through Messrs. Smith 4 Christian, of this
place, who keep champagne on ice, and su-
dorifcs, generally, and who, on this occasion,
in their usual gallant style, sent Us bottle
| OF Heidsic, which, with the assistance Of the
devil, We duly drank to the success of the
granite walk, being the next big thing now
on the taris Of Ncwberry'

EXEMPTIONS From STAMP Dirty AFTER
OcrorEK lSt.-.Acting Commissioner
Douglass has addressed letter to T. NJ.
Patrick, Esq, stamp agcn! at New York,
stating that the only instruments Sub
icct to stamp duty under schedule B.,
which are held exempt from tax after the
first of October mex, By the terms of the
Act Of July II. 1870, are "promissory
notes for less sum than 800, receipts
for any sum of money or for the payment
of any debt" Section four Of the Act
alluded to also provides that "no stamp
shall DC required upon the transfer or
assignment Of mortgage where it or
the instrument it sccul cs has been once
duly stamped" The agent in his com
munication to the department states
that many business men seem to think
that the tax is repealed on all forms, and
the acting commissioner in his reply
authorizes the publication Of the de-
cision to set aside that erroneous i'm
preston.

A DANGEROUS Madmall.

About nine o'clock on Wednesday fore
noon, says the Cincinnati Gazette of Sat-
urday, colored lunatic by the name Of
Gaines, at Longview, rent the iron bars of
his cell, and beating down with his frantic
strength all opposition, escaped, Gaines is
a farmer, and resided formerly near Cleyes,
in the western part of this county, on the
line of the. l. and G. Railroad. He is a
man Of powerful muscle For the last two
or three months he has been very manage
able. Whenever he has been given work
he has done it cheeIfully. Much Of his
time has been spent in the garden, working
on the Longview premises. 1t was thought
he was nearly well. Day before yesterday
morning some fury seemed to take possess.
ion of him. lie became unmanageable-
manifcstly dangerous. His attendants sue
ceeoed in entcng him into cell, with iron
grated windows, where he was at once
locked up. The laundering of his feet at
the door the attendants counted cnly as so
much helpless rage. Such thought as
his breaking out did not enter their minds.
For him iron bars were as withes to the
giant who bore on his back the gates Of
GAIA. How he broke them is a wonder to
all, but that he made room for his escape
was ocularly demonstrated. Out he dashed
with a maniac fire blazing and flashing
from his red, glaring eyes A couple of
attendants stood in his way, and tried to
prevent his escape. They were as chill
dren before the hammer-like blows of his
fists. Another attendant ran to the help
of these two, and was stretched senseless,
with cash in his head, from the stroke OF
short club the manic had gathered up.
BY this time no one was disposed to stand
in the way of the madman. He escaped,
and was soon out of sight. Yesterday
evening he had not been even seen or cap
tured. 1t is supposed he has gone to his
old home, near Cleves.

A TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION


P1TTsBURG, June 2S-The most disas-

city is now raging near the Sbarpsburg
bridge in the Eighteenth ward.
The Eclipse tank instantly exploded, the
burning oil running towards the river and
burning all the buildings, including DR..
Tweedle's house, and setting Are to the
Sharpsburg bridge, which was totally de.
stroyed.
AT three p. NJ, during terrible rain
storm, in which houses we're blown down
and trees uprooted, 10000 barrels of oil in
a tank, belonging to the Edipol Refinery,
was struck by lightning. Another tank,
belonging to the Citizens Refinery, was
struck at the same time.

The Tariff Bill.

Our free-trade friends are likely to have
small cause for rejoicing over their achieve
ments in the present Congress. Protesting
always to oppose tariff chiefly because 'ol
the burdens which they allege it imposes
upon the people, they defeated u carefully
prepared tariff bill, which would have re-
duced the revenue from imports more than
thirty millions annually. Their later at
tempt to abolish the duty on coal, in the
interest of the owners of Novo Scotia mines,
resulted in having bill drafted and refer
red to the Committee of the Whole, where
it cannot be resurrected this session.
This week saw the elimination of their
scheme to reduce by one.half the duty on
salt. In compliance with instructions, Mr.
Schenck reported in the House bill &c
that effect, which was summarily referred
to the Committee of the Whole, and there
fore will share the same fate as the former
Meanwhile the important tariff provisions
appended to the tax bill, which are gener-
ally in the interest of the most necessitous
branches of American industry, stand a
good chance of success.

AND WHOSE CASES REQUIRE

TO RENDER EXISTENCE DESIRABLE
TO RENDER EXISTENCE DESIRABLE.

If you are suffering or have suffered,
from involuntary discharges, what effect
does it produce upon your general
health !? Do you feel weak, debilitated, ca
silly tired ? Does little extra exertion
produce palpation Of the heart? Does your
liver, or urinary organs, or your kidneys,
frequently get out of order? Is your urine
sometimes thick, milky or focky, or is it
ropy on settling? Or does thick skum
rise to the top? Or is sediment at the
bottom after it has stood awhile? Do you
have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia?
Are your bowels constipated? Do you have
spells of fainting, or rushes of blood to the
head Is your memory impaired? Is
your mind constantly dwelling on the sub
ject ? Do you feel dull, listess, moping,
tired of company, of lite q? Do you wish to
be left alone, to get away from everybody?
Does any little thing make you start or
jump? Is your sleep broken or restless
Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The
bloom of your cheek as bright? Do you
enjoy yourself in society as we'll ? Do you
pursue your business with the same ener-
gy Do you feel as much confidence in
yourself? Are your spirits dull and flag
ging, given to fits of melencholy2 If so, do
no. lay it to your liver or dyspepsia. Have
you restless nights? Your back weak, and
have but little appetite, and you attribute
this to dyspepsia or liver-comrlaint!
Now, reader, self-abusc, veneral disease
badly cured, and sexual excesses, are ali ca
pable of producing weakness of the gene
rative organs. The organs of the genera
ton, when in perfect health, make the man.
Did you ever think that those bold, def
ant, energetic, persevering businessmen
are always those whose generative organs
are in perfect health You never hear
such men complain Of being melancholy,
of nervousness, of palpatation of the heart.
They are never afraid they cannot succeed
in business they don't become sad and dis
couraged they are always polite aud pleas
ant in company Of ladies, and look you and
them right in the face-none Of your down
cast looks or any other meanness about
them. [ do not mean those who keep the
orgrns inflated by running to excess. These
will not only ruin their constitutions, but
also those they do business with or for.
How nancy men, from badly cured diseases
from the effects of self abuse and excesses
have brought about that state of weakness il
those organs that has reduced the general sys
TEN so much as to induce almost every othe
disease-idiocy, paralysis, spinal affections
suicide, and almost every other form Of dis
ease which humanity is heir to and the rea
cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected
and have doctored for all but the right one.
