Hayward, Cashier of the Black stone, National Bank, at Uxbridge, Mass, was entered between the hours of 1 and 2 at night, through chamber window, by five disguised men, who, af- ter binding and gagging MT. Hayward and family, numbering four persons, entered the room of Chas. Wessen, the teller of the bank, and compelled him to accompany them to the bank and unlock the safe. They obtained between $13,- 900 and 14,OO0, mostly in bills. The robbers then locked the safe and bank, took the teller back to his room, un- gagged the whole family and gave them water to drink, regagged them and went away.

It was expected that the Guinevre, Livonia, and Sappho would sail, but the Guinevre was withdrawn and consequently the Sappho was withdrawn also, because the Livonia was the only large schooner entered, and MT. Douglass would not sail with Ashbury as the only competitor. The boats started at four o'clock. The Sappho the American schooner started fifteen minutes afterwards, ran to the leeward of the fleet, crossing the bows of the Livonia, and returned to the an- chorage an hour and half ahead of her.

TENHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet Of heating surface, built upon
principle namely, that Of stopping the Uerticdt
circulation, accomplished by means of two horizOn-
tai d;aphrdgms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments BY this ar
rangement there is maintained three temperatures OF
water.
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes In the upper compartment, then descend, and
return through the tubes Ia the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
in the third compartment. BY, this operation, the
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
way to the smoke stack, chimney come in con-
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine it will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power. -
per cent. more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler of the same heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do So as long as it is
used, and will back our guarantees with Gov
ERNdENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the reason is that cold water is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated as it ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment.
We would especially call the attention of RAILROAD
men to the following facts that while running this
boilerwith coal wood the sparks neutralized,
and none have left the smoke-stack chimney,
which in itself is most valuable advantage, never
before realized.
