TESHE above is All engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet of heating surface built upon a
new principle, namely that Of stopping the uertica
ctrcut1tioa accomplished by means Of two horizon
tai didphragms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. BY this ar
rangement there il maintained three temperatures
water.
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tuoes IN the upper compartment then descend, and
return through the tubes in 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 150 indicated horse
power. E..tsr
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew so
per cent. more power with the same weight of coal
than amy boiler of tho heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do so, as long as it is
used, and we will back our guarantees with Gov
ERNMENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the is that cold water is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated 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
and none haveever left the smoke-stack chimney,
which in itself is most valuable advantage, never

things in general. Inthc course Of his ramble5

and dashed down the square, followed by the
,hcpherd calling out, Stop EN- stop 'em -
Several persons tried to head them of, but
without avail, the whole flock, led by patri-
archal ram, dashing by without any trouble,
which the gentleman from the country beheld
with astonishment, 1t seemed to him such all
easy matter, and he instantly resolved TO assist
he Juvenile Sheep-drOVe in recovering his scat
tered flock by showing how the thing was
managed in bucolical districts, which he pro-
cccded to do, getting down .on his hands, in
the position commonly known aS al! tOurs.
But alas for his calculations. The sheep had
become demoraiccd at their approaching doom
al the shambles. and led by the Aries before
mentioned charged down upon him, the old ram
striking him squarely between the eyes and
sending our friend to clover, Or rather to the
ground, while the whole flock trampled over
his prostratc body before he could recover his
position.

" such an enormous number of students I"

this: the institution is UnSoct0Iian in its

ceive is pure and generally given.
The students of the bible College are

of it, many advantages, and is not for the

of The Book, unallOyed by human doc

The University is i'll fact controlled by
curators mostly of the Christian denomi-
nation. That denomination has SO richly
endowed it, the fund received from the
State being but small portion of its pres
