NareZZO Marble.

An article known as Marezzo Marble,
lately introduced into England, prom
ises to be a valuable addition to the
ornamental substances used in the arts,
the appearance of true marble being
very closely initiated, and the resulting
material being very easily worked and
very durable. The imitation of differ
ent colored veins in the marble is eff
fected by taking skeins of silk, stepped
in suitable colors, and laid in proper
combinations upon n polished glass
plate. Upon tins is poured, to 2epth
OF about one-tenth of an inch, guam
tity of fine cement, mixed with water, OF
a suitable body color, and the
skeins of silk are removed, before sol
iGilication ensues, leaving their repre-
sentation in the colored mass. The
thickness of the artificial marble is in
creased by backing it with cement OF
a somewhat coarser quality, and still
coarser quality of cement is applied
for the purpose OF taking up the su-
pertluous moisture. The whole will
set in a very short time, and allow the
glass slab to be raised on end, and to
exhibit the general effect. When
completely dry the slab is detach'
ed from the glass, and may be
made Of any desired thickness by
a backing OF coarse cement and
strengthened by the occasionaliuterpo-
lation of an intermediate backing OF
fbrous material, such as canvas, etc:
The surface is afterwards shaped and
polished, so as to bring out the mar
bling and further process Of enam-
cling on this surfacel Is sometimes gone
through with, SO as to secure special
resistance to wear or exposure IN the
open air. This material has already
been applied extensively in decorative
work, such as columns, pilasters, cor
uices, statuary, etc

A Hot Summer.

The meteorological records of the
PENNSYLVANIA Hospital ut Philadelphia,
which go back to 1920, show that the
summar which has just closed with the
month of August has been the hottest
ever known in the history Of the city.
Taken together, We find an average
mean temperature for the three summer
months OF 1865 degrees. which is
three quarters Of a degree above the
figures for 1870, which heretofore en-
joyed the distinction Of being the bot
test kaown in Philadelphia. -

PLATTEYILLE. March %

PLATTEvILLE, March %.
DEAR HERALD There has been
little of interest to note in our vii
lage for some time past, and the gen.
eral stagnation still continues.
We were fay ored on Wednesday
evening by concert troupe of anna
teur singers from Warren. They
sang very well, and their selections
were of good class, most of them
being familiar songs. The principal
soprano sang "The Book" charming
ly, and their brother Jonathan"
brought the house down.
On Thursday evening the Philadel-
phian Society gave public debate
Their programme was very good,
consisting Of Devotional Exercises
by Prot. Beck, address by Prot. Mc>
Gregor tho best thing of the eve-
ming. He chose "Enthusiasm" as his
theme. and discoursed upon a sub
ject which he always exempifies in
the classroom. Mr. j. L. Luce next
gave defamation; subject, "Ad-
vice to Young Men," Mr.. A. s. New
comb followed with an addr, SIS. the
tide of his theme being What We
Study for" Roll Call and Respons-
es was next in order, and more of
the members responded present"
than would betoken q lively interest
in this exercise.
The debate was in regard to the
Civil Serrice Reform Bill, and was
conducted byMessrs Long, UT, Mar.
shall and Casey. Although the
speaking was very poor, the partici-
pants showed they had carefully
studied their subject, and the debate
lacked the tediousness which often
characterizes this exercise, for with
the other sex il is usually "long
drawn out" and when women get to
talking we'll, / will say no more.
The school has been we'll attended
during the term, and the classes pass.
ed very good examinations. Presi-
dent Charlton, who has been absent
on account Of his health, for a month
past, eXects to return ana resume his
duties the first of next term.

she was discharged. While at pray
er meeting one night, the other mem
bers Of our school board being there
also, Mr.. Quincy spoke to me in re-.
gard e Diminishing the teacher He
stated in substance that his reason
for iavoring tho discharge of Miss +.
was The fact that Mrs Brace was
obliged to take her daughter out of
school for going to dances with the
teacher. Mr.. Bailey was Of opinion
that the school ought to be closed on
account Of the prevalence of scarlet
fever among the children Of the dis
trict And the Director, Mr.. Gor>
man, told US that Dan'I Garner had
to take his children out Of school too,
having good and satisfactory reasons
for so doing.
So thought, from the evidence |
had heard, that it was best to dismiss
tho teacher and close the school,
which l accordingly did the same
evening. SAM'L OATS, Clerk.

GRAPE CULTURE. We learn from
Mr.. John Bonn, of Potosi, who by
the way engages quite extensively in
grape culture, that the past winter
has been most favorable for the vim
tage Of 1872. Yet the winter of 20
and II was in most respects directly
the opposite Of the past season, and
the last crop Of grapes was larger
than usual for this climate. This last
season the weather has been the cold
est known for many years, but the
deep snow has given the same pro-
lection to the roots that the mild
weather of last winter afforded.
Mr.. Bonn Informs us that he has re-,
ceved quite a number of orders from
the East for wine which be cannot
fill, and that he is unable TO supply
the home demand His vintage last
year amounted TO near $500 gallons,
and he expects the coming season,
with fair crop, TO manufacture not
less than 600 gallons. 1t is not
generally known tnat the grape is q
prot able culture in this region, es-
pecially near the Mississippi, The
Concord Delaware, and the Hartford
Prolific are the kinds best adapted
tor the climate. The Catawba ma
lures 80 late that the crop Is never
certain, and the Isabella is most gen.
orally aft cted with mildew.
