A GRowL.-We don't like to grumble.
We'd rather laugh at an annoyance
than to grumhls. ct it, but this new
style Of bonnea with Q rnansard roof,
Il q nuisance ih church or place OF
amusement, that one must grumble at.
They are 60 high that persons sitting
behind lady who wears one cant see,
don't you see Custom has decided that
gentlemen must take of their hats
when in q place Of amusement, and !.
one tails to do it. the cry Of hats OF,
will soon bring him TO realizing sense
Of bis improperly, and to the kno"l-
edge that he is obstructing the view
ofthose behind him. But there never
was q plug hat built and worn TO con-
cert or dramatic represen.
tation that :. could compare with
the present fashionable bonnet for
"high." If gentlemen must take their
hats of 90 as not to impede the view Of
the audience in the rear, why should
ladies be permitted to wear their head
gear in the hall or concert room.
They are about fourteen hands high,
these bonnets, and rest on the top OF q
chig,.on that rises about eight feet above
the top Of the head Of the fair wearer'
and are 80 bedecked with feathers
and flowers as to completely shut out
the view from the head to the ceiling
and a span OF two feet wide in either
direction. They are nuisauces any
where but on the streets, and ladies who
have a due regard for the comfort and
rights Of Others. will either wear some-
thing else or take them off when they
90 to a performance.

last night with very fine audience, to
witness the third production Of this
excellent drama. The performance
was better, il possible. than the night

A VALUABLE INvENrIoN.-Ope Of the
most valuable inventions of this centu-
~ is the improvement in Machines for
feeding plates to Sheariug Machines,
invented by Felix Westwood, Of South
Wheeling. The iron is put between
rolls arranged to receive it, and is fed
by the Machine at regular iutervals
and distances, by means Of ratchet
wheel and pawl, BY means Of which
perfect uniformity in the size Of plates
is gained and great saving in irons and
labor is effected: With the aid Of this
machine one man can do in four houre
just the amount OF work it takes two,
men eight hours to perform BY the old
method. The Machiee is in operation
10 the Riverside, La Belle and other
mills here and will shortly BE- supplied
to them all. The invention is worthy
the attention and examination Of nail
makers every where.

or thirty days.
The next artist was Steele Miller, who
was picked up in deplerable state Of
drunkenness from the gutter, corner
Of Union aud Fourth streets. IS and
costs or thirty days was the price Of it
Steele begged like good fellow to have
the time reduced to ten days, but the
Judge was memorable. He is deter
mined to double the price on the boys
every time they come up on these plain
drunk charges. Steele abideth on the
chain gang.

YESTERDAY was beautiful day, Tar
plessanter than of its predecessors.

Found HIS MoNEY.-Some eight or
ten years ago q gentleman living in
Washington, Pa, put in an envelope
and placed in q bureau drawer some
two or three hundred dollars in notes
on the Merchants and Mechanics
bank of this city. When he went for
his money few days afterwards, he
found everything intact but the envel-
ope containing the money. That was
gone. His suspicious were directed to
the only person who could have had
access to the bureau and he bad
the suspected man arrested. Nothing
could be proved against the accused OF
course he was discharged. The matter
remained a mystery until Monday
when the owner OF the missing money
while opening the bureau drawer OBJ
served something fall into the drawer
from the top On examining it he found
it to be portion OF the envelope in which
the money had been placed. A further
search was rewarded by the discovery
OF all the bank notes fastened to the
top of the bureau where they had been
securely fastened to the varnish for the
many years they had been missed. They
were sent to this city on Tuesday, for
redemption. Every apology and re-
psrstion was made to the individual
suspected, and who has been under
surveillance every since the disappear
ance of the money.

CAN DISCOUNT HM.-Dr. Peters has
Just discovered another of the numer-
Gus family Of Asteroids, making one
hundred and thirty of these fragmenta-
nv planets now known to astronomers.
If DR.. Peters had slipped and fallen as
Squire Schultz did last week, striking
the end opposite his head on the icy
sidewalks, he would have seen just
26O,OO0,000 stars. That's what the
Squire saw at the time. When it
comes to seeing asteroids Squire Schultz
can discount DR.. Peters.

TIE OLD FLAG.-A very large audi
ence last night witnessed the represent
tation OF this powerful military drama,
with evident satisfaction if We may
judge by the shouts Of laughter and
bursts Of applause. Everything is now
in good working order, the different
characters are yell up in their parts,
and the incidents are developed with .
freedom, and ease that is astonishing
when we remember that the actors are
all amstures. The songs Of Ed. CALI
gan are received nightly with rapturous
encores. 1t has but three more nights

STRAPS on pants are coming in vogue
again. The straps are to be sewed to
the leg bottoms, and thus always be in
readiness for use. They are not then
in the way, for it is rarely the wearer is
in so great a hurry as to have to draw
the pants on over his head.

Fatal Boiler Explosion,

About half past three o'clock
Thursday afternoon Sept. 4th the
boiler Of the lower well of the Jack
son Salr Furnace, below Hartford
City, exploded with terrible force, in
srantly killing the engineer, Balls
q. Smith, Brother ofSDeII NJ. Smith
of the firm of Smith Davis & Co. Of
Huntington, } and making complete
wreck Of the engine. building and
well frame. The boiler which was
a cylider nboier twenty feet long,
was carried by the force of the ex-
plosion, forward from its position
25C yards into corn field toward
the river, after having both ends
blown entirely out. Such was Its
fearful force that it passed entirely
through al old pile Of sawdust for
many yards, and then passed as
straight rs a cannon shot for over
one hundred yards before touching
the ground, when it struck, scooped
out furrow Of about ten feet in
length and one foot in depth, then
it again left the ground and went on
at least 60 feet where it final y alight-
ed and where it now remains
The boiler has been carefully examin-
ed by experienced engineers and no
possible reason could bo assigned
for the explosion; no signs that the
water had become low could be de-
tecied: and a greater mystery, is,
how the boiler could be carried to
ouch a great distance after both ends
Of it had been completely blown out
Those who have examined 1t careful.
| ly are agreed that it is something
"a arvelous. There was no person
near at the time Of the explosion ex-
cept the engineer, who was instantly
killed. His body was found lying
across sill oa the opposite side Of
the engine house from the boiler.
The skull Was crushed, the back bro
ken in several places, ose of the
legs was blown completely of just
below the knee, yet breath did not
entirely leave the body for several
minutes after the body was found.
Altogether it was one Of tie most
terrible and apparently unaccOunta-
bic explosions we ever heard Of. -
