BRAY'S PATENT REFRIGERATOR.

! \ refrigerator has been invented by
Mr.. Wilson Bray, of Stockton, Hunter.
don county. New Jersey, which it is
claimed will preserve meat, fruits and all
other perishable articles of food for an
indefinite period without injury to its ap-
pearance, quantity, quality or flavor.
The steamship Fire Fly" reached
Philadelphia last week with cargo OF
eight hundred and eighty quarters of
fresh beef, slaughtered in Rockport,
Texas, just three weeks ago.
The history of this vessel is some
what peculiar. She was during the re-
bellion, blockade runner, and was then
named the "Tristram. Shandy.' After
her capture by the government. the name
was changed to Boxer" and she is now
called the Fire Fly" While bearing
that appellation, some two or three years
ago, she was detained by the govern
ment, under the suspicion of having been
fitted out for an expedition to Cuba.
| The Fire Fly" left Rockport on the
4th inst, arriving in Philadelphia on the
10th, which it will be remembered, was
the hottest day. of the present season,
the thermometer ranging among the nine
ties. Her entire cargo was in perfect
condition, although it had been conveyed
distance of about twenty two hundred
miles, and the heat was excessive when
the cattle were slaughtered. The beef
was brought by Bray's patent refrigerat-
ing process, by means of which current
of air is kept continually circulating
through the hold of the ship .It
At one end of bold sixty five feet
long and an average of twenty feet wide
and nine feet high, containing one hun
dred and fifty beeves. or six hundred
quarters, is square box in which is a
ton and half of ice, and which is re-
pleuished hourly by a quarter of a ton -
This amount is sufficient to keep one
hundred and fifty beeves at an average
temperature of forty degrees. At the
other end is a thirty-six inch fan, such as
is for blasting furnaces, driving the air
through an air-tube to the box and throw
ing it out to the top of the room, leaving
it not only cold but dry. Where the air
comes out into the room the temperature
is thirty-two degrees. All the caloric
heat is condensed by the ice, carried off
and pumped into the bilge and overheard
When the air comes in contact with the
ice condensation or moisture takes place.
At thirty two degrees there is no degree
Of heat to produce any fermentation Of
the juices, and no decay can take place.
If beef Is put on ice the moisture in it
is frozen. which is Immediately thawed
when it comes into the open air. Meat
kept in an ice box begins to spoil from
the inside. The peculiarity of this pro-
cess is that it spoils first from the out
side. all animal heat having been re-
moved.
Some five hundred pounds of the
choicest fish procurable in the Gulf Of
Mexico were taken out of the water

THE CONSCIENCE AND FUTURE JUDG-
MENT.

sat alone with my conscience, D"
In place where time had ceased, " s.
And we talked Of my former living ..
In the land where the years increased,
And felt I should have to answer
The question it put TO me,
And to face and answer the question
Throughout an eternity. uI e.f .ft9
The ghosts of forgotten actions Ie 7a
Came iioating before my sight, -r
And things that thought were dead things
We're alive with terrible m,gnt.
And the vision Of all my past life
Was an awfnl thing to face
Alone with my conscience sitting H'217
In that solemnly silent place. u -45
And I thought of far away waning, sd
OF a sorrow that was to be mine, ,....
In a laad that then was the future,
But new is the present time.
And I thought Of my former thinking
OF the judgment day to be. '-'. i
But sitting alone with my conscience a
Seemed Judgment enough for me. b..
And wondered if there was future
To this land beyond the grave;
But no one gave me an answer,
And no one came to save.
Then felt that the future WAS present,
And the present would never go by,
For it was but the thought of my past life
Grown into eternity. -......-......t. ....H
Then woke from my timely dreaming,
And the vision passed away,
And knew the far away warning
Was warning of yesterday
And pray that may hot forget it,
In this land before the grave, ..'...rna H
That may not cry in the future,
And no one come to save
And so have learned lesson
Which l ought to have known before,
And which, though learned it dreaming,
hope to forget no more. -. ...I
So sit alone with my conscience r...t.
In the place where the years increase,
And try to remember the future
In the land where Time will cease.
And know of the future judgment,
How dreadful soe'er it be.
That 10 SIT alone with my conscience

Several Children Caught in the Ruins.
One Killed and one Fatally Injured.

From the williamsport Gazette, Aug. 221 ID
The city was thrown into a terrible
state of excitement about half past ten
o'clock this forenoon, when the walls Of
the Packer building. corner of Third and
Mulberry streets, suddenly fell. and sew
eral children were caught by the falling
debris The children were standing
looking at the ruins of the fire which
occurred on Sunday night, and the wall
fell so suddenly that they were caught
before they could get entirely out Of the
way. There was crowd of spectators
looking on, and the moment the wall fell
there was a rush to release the bodies of
those who had been caught This was
speedily done, and it was found that two
little girls were badly injured. A little
daughter of Joseph Stevens, who was
standing near by, was slightly injured
and little son of Joseph RAIDER was
frightened so badly that he tainted.
The little girls who were the worst in
jured could not be recognized at first.
One Of the little sufferers was removed
to the drug store of Finney, Rittenhouse
& Co, when it was discovered that her
name was Amanda Meitzler, daughter of
John Neither, of No. II Franklin street.
She was found to be badly injured about
the head and her lower extremities were
considerably mangled. A number of
physicians were soon on hand and ad
ministered remedies, but the little crea-
ture was past their assistance and expired
in few minutes. She was bright little
girl, between ten and eleven years old.
The other little girl was taken into the
residence of Mrs. Hughes on Third street.
and was soon recognized as also being a
daughter of Mr., Meilzler. The two girls
had been to market and stopped to see
the ruins when the sad accident occurred
The name of this unfortunate child was
Mary. and was about seven years old
Her injuries were of "a desperate and
sickeniug character. Her one leg was
broken and the flesh stripped off the bone
from the knee down. Her other leg was
also mangled; portion of the heel being
torn Oft, Her sufferings were exceed
ingly sad to witness A carriage was
soon procured, and the little victim taken
home. ... .......... ....
The physicians upon examination
found that no efforts could save her, and
consequently did not attempt to dress
the wounds One of the physicians took
hold of one of the child legs and found
it to be entirely off. She was relieved
from her sufferiugs about noon, and the
particularly sad sight was presented of
two interesting, innocent children, who
were buoyant with life at 10 O'Clock,
lying mapgled corpses at II. and both in
the same family. The grief Of the pa
rents and surviving children was sad in
deed. and excited the tendere.t gym
pathies of all who witnessed it.

Thorough Culture.

Correspondent Of the Germantown Tele-
graph writes:
Thorough culture and high manuring are
essential TO profitable farming. and this is
the right mode of farming IL ten acres
of land can be made to produce twenty
tons of hay, Is it not better than to culti-
vate twenty acres for the same amount3
II Is less labor to get 20 tons of hay from
10 than 20 acres.
Surprising you are growing 25 bushels
of shelled corn per acre. You can, by APP
plying more manure, with thorough culti-
walton. get so bushels of corn. This
might be increased to s5 or 100 bushels
per acre. What is there to prevent? You
can easily test this. Select a small piece
of land in your cornfield: plough il few
inches deeper than heretofore; manure the
ground thoroughly. at the rate OF twenty
cords per acre; plant good seed. than
keep out every weed, aud the result will
astound you. Gardeners understand this
principle, aud they plough nearly two feet
deep and apply thirty cords per acre, be-
sides using large quantities of commercial
Inanures. For many garden crops the
surface OF the ground two inches deep
should be one-fourth manure In this way
by keeping the ground moist. lettuce can
be grown that l. tender, large and nice /:
and SO of other crops.
The fact j. we cultivate too much land
Says one, Il have so much land aud |
must cultivate il all " hat would Won have
me do with it; give It away z" Better give
i away than to half cultivate t. Let it
grow up to wood or use it for pasturase
sell it-perhaps that would be the best
plan; take the money and improve the rest
OF the farm. 4 farmer has one hundred
acres in his farm, and he keeps a. much
stock. and cuts a. much hay and raises as
much produce as the farmer who has two
hundred acres. Which therefore is the
best farm-the smaller or the larger
think You viii see at a glance that the
smaller farm is the best.
