long been matter of great difficulty with
engineers and mschinists to regulate prop
erly the oiling Of journals and bearings,
thereby preventing them from cutting" and
becoming heated. The old manner OF lubri
eating shafting and machinery has proven
anything but satisfactory. The Patent Oil
Company, meets to perfection THE great
want 80 severely felt by machinists aid
manufacturers. The cups medium size J
hold three fourths of a gill each, a sufficient
amount to last six months, and furnishes all
the oil necessary to keep the bearings in
good order, and perfectly cool. They give
absolute control of the oil, feeding much or
little, as each journal requires, and save
much time and expense. There is no waste
or dripping of oil from the hangers, and
everything is clean and neat. These cups
are Of all styles and sizes, and sdspted to all
kinds of machinery Attention is directed

The Union can ruminate upon this until the
nomination, and, if it is 80 disposed, if it
can leave it's financial statement, Murrin and

of his position upon this vote. We should
be pleased to discuss this question at length
with the Union, or at least until Mr.. Hawley
is re nominated, when We will give it work

The slaughter in the late engagements
between the French and Prussians must
be frightful indeed. King William says
of his last terrible battle that he "sfyinks
from learning his losses" How prodig-
ious, then, this slaughter must have been
may be partly guessed from the fact that,
in previous dispatch, the King had re-
ported a destruction of forty thousand
men, while the carnage seems to have
been as terrific in some preceding battles.
The French estimate that the Prussians
have lost ninety thousand, killed and
wounded, since crossing the frontier
seems moderate. On their part, the Prus-
SLAMS claim to have put fifty thousand
French hOrS du combat.
