AngOra Goats.

The Angora goat is receiving consid- erable attention from stock growers in California, and a correspondent of the Pacitfc RXrol Press thinks that "goat- raising will be larger business than sheep-raising in few years in your state; and, as I have a lifelong ex. perience in mohair business and in An gora goat raising in my country (being native of Angora, in Asia Minor), il may benefit your countrymen, who de- sire to raise goats, to give them few hints on how to commence crossing An gora bucks with common native goats and produce the best notwithstanding goats:
 First of all, the goat-raiser must see that the common goats he gets are of the right sort, with large bodies, short legs, strongly built, healthy and young, with as short and smooth hair as possi- ble, say like the hide of we'll -groomed horse. Their color must be black, or black and white, or all white.
 "No fawn-colored, common goat should ever be put in any flock of mo- hair-bearing goats. for reason un- known but the goat-raisers of Asia Minor know that the cross of black goats will produce the most bright, long, thickly-grown, and good quality of mo- hair. Next to that black and white, and next to that all white. Goat kids can bear mohair of fair average quality but fawn-colored goats will take life time of crossing to bring them to bear fine mohair.

A Burning Hill in Ohio.

Three miles from Bainbridge, Ross county, Ohio, is located hill of con- siderable altitude, known as "Copperas Mountain. Out of the top of this mountain issues constant stream of smoke, while on it's summit and general surface the vegetation has withered and died, until the whole hill presents a barren, sterile, and desolate aspect, blasted as if by whirlwind of fire. It is believed that the entire interior of the hill is mass of ignited combustible matter, and that the fire is and has been spreading with considerable rapidity. The theory presented to account for it is that on or about the 1st day of last October the party to whom the land be- longs was buring brush on the hillside, and that the flames communicated to infammable matter-probably crude oil, coal, or other combustible sub- stances-contained in the geological formation of the hill. The quenching of the fire is of course impossible, from it's situation, and how soon, if ever, the fire will reach point where it can be controlled, can only be con jectured. At present there is no danger to be appre- hended to property in the vicinity.

What the Season Suggests.

To assume warm clothing at the comm encem en of the cold season is only an act of common pru dence. But something more than this is required to put the body in a state of defense against the searching atmosphere of winter. Damp has de- pressing effect the vital organs and the anima] spirits. The amount of life power taken out of the strongest of by the chilling vapors which ire quently load the air at this period of the year s very considerable, and to the weak and languid they are extremely deleterious. To protect the system against their efects it must be inwardly toned regulated and reinforced, well as shielded outwardly by appropriate garments. This essential service is more safely and satisfactorily accom- plished by the daily of Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters than by any other means within the province of medical science. The fact here stated is in- controvertible as demonstration in mathematics. Nobody disputes it. It Is matter of common belief and of general record Here the might be rest ed but the public, naturally enough, wants to know why this famous vegetable specific is so far ahead of all other medicines of class This reasonable curiosity be readily gratihed The Bttters com prise Ave important :elemen%s, viz: Q stimulant a tonAc an aperisnt, and blood depurent. Each of these eomponents, well each of the other sub ordinate ingredients fs the purest and best of it's kind They are proportioned in accordance with Sormula that has been in for twenty years, and operate hssmeniousIy and simultaneously. Hence the uniform success of the medicine.

GREEnE1's SoN. One of the most touching features of MT. Greeley.'s. character was his wonderful love for his son, Arthur T. (" "Pickie'') Greeley, who died over twenty years ago, but whom he delighted to talk about till the end of his life. It is of him that MT. Greeley speaks in the affecting passage with which he closes statistical sketch of Lake Superior and it's shores Who shall then know or care that l, tired wanderer from the city's ceaseless strife, once roaming along the shores, patient 1y turning over the pebbles and sand in search of agates and comedians, or joy ously gathering the red berries of the mountain ash, and all for thee, dear son of my heart Polar Summer of my rugged life then so anxiously awaiting me at our distant cottage home, as now more calmly in the radiant Land of Souls God keep me worthy of thy love through the long, weary years, till I meet thee and greet thee ill that world where the loving reunite, to be parted no more forever"

A New GunDOWde1..

The latest issue of the Journal of the Society of Arts contains notice of a novel description of gunpowder, pos sessing extraordinary proiectile power, which is said to have been recently adopted by the Prussian artillery. It is composed of a certain proportion of nitre and sawdust, and in this state can be kept in store without fear of explo- sion. To render this composition ex- plosive it is necessaryto add sufficient quantity of sulphuric acid to make it cohere, and when dried it is ready for use. Vhis composition. has certainly the advantage of eheapness, combined with extreme simplicity in it's manufac- ture, and is said to leave but little resi- due after being fired. But as nearly everything, from bread to mahogany tables, has at different times been made from sawdust, and turned out failure, we do not feel sanguine as to the result of a scheme for making gunpowder from that material.

Water as Fuel.

A large number of citizens, by invita- tion, visited the brass foundry on Ere mont street San Francisco, says Isowel paper, for the purpose of witnessing some experiments with new fuel. re- gently invented. They were shown i,to that portion of the establishment occu- pied by the furnaces, and in one corner found brick furnace some eight feet long and six feet high. On the top of this was an iron tank holding about ten gallons, which wac filed with crude petroleum, From this tank pipe about an inch and half in diameter, led into the side of the furnace. A small jet of oil, not larger than small goose quill, was permitted to flow out of this tube light is placed beneath this jet, and 1t immediately ignites. Another pipe, about an inch in diameter, leads from Q steam boiler stationed some fifteen feet away. This pipe leads small Jet of steam upon the burning oil, and the moment the steam strikes the oil the | oxygen in the water is set free and ignites with & tremendous roar, genera ting in very few moments a most white heat.
 From this small source the entire chamber of the furnace, which is some two feet by five feet, is filled with flame so brilliant and dazzling that one cannot gaze on it for more than moment at time. This flame possesses all the heat of an oxyhydrogen flame, and beneath its fierce power the hardest metals melt in few moments. The inventor of the apparatus by which the elements of heat, which nature so generously pro- vides, can be utilized, is very modest man, saying that he did not want to bring his discovery before the public until he had fully demonstrated that it would do all he claimed for it. He says that the cost of the furnaces will be only 8 nominal sum that they will be within the reach of every one who owns quartz ledge, while the amount of oil consumed in twenty-four hours will not exceed ten gallons, at cost of g.
 The doctor has every confidence in his discovery, and declares his ability to furnish fuel for a voyage of one of the Panama steamers to and from Panama for the insignificant sum of two hundred dollars, while the entire quantity will weigh not to exceed twen- ty-five tons. He further says that at'an expense of five dollars per day, he can run furnaces that will smelt one ton of ore every thirty minutes. If only one- half of what is claimed can be accom- plished, the discovery will prove of in calculable advantage to the mining in terests of the Pacific coast, and will create a revolution in steam travel throughout the world.

THE SUCCESSFUL PHYsIcIAN.-Dr. J. Walker is achieving an eminent distinc- tion as benefactor of his species. Some stigmatize all patent medicines with the odious epithet of quaokery. But DR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BTTTERs have the endorsement of the medical profession. The editor can conscien- tiously and cordially recommend the medicine, because he knows he has found great benefit from it's use. For nearly twenty years he has suffered from derangement of the stomach. And though the disease has become chronic, hehas already obtained great relief from this remedy, A physician left at death large volume, carefully sealed, and sup posed to contain a fund of medical knowledge. On being opened, 1t was found to contain only this simple ad- vice: Keep your head cool, your feet warm. and your bowels open" But there is whole volume in this maxim.
 VINEGAR BrrTERs act as mild cathartic, leaving the system in healthy condi- tion. R. H. Mcdonald, an experienced druggist, associated with Dr. Walker, is man of thorough integrity and practical knowledge of the art of com pounding medicine. They have val uable medicine, and they know how to bring it to the knowledge of the public by judicious advertising. We are hap py to give them our hearty endorse ment, and bid them God-speed in re- ieving the ills to which flesh is heir.- LockaOood Unie,aist, December 20, 1870.

CRIM1NA1.-The almost criminal blun- der of New York clergyman brought 8 youthful pair into an embarrassing pre- dicament Q few days ago. He went into a neighboring State, and without con- sulting the law governing such solemn engagements, proceeded to perform the ceremony that purported to unite the man and woman in the bonds of matri- mony. After the lapse of little time the deluded couple awoke to the con- sciousness that they were not legally officiated, not being domiciled in that State. A visit to the clergyman in New York, and repetition of the ceremony there, relieved the dilemma but sup pose either party in the meantime had repented the choice, would not serious responsibility rest upon the negligent clergyman

OPERA CLoAKs.-The circular cloak is still the favorite for the evening dress, says fashion journal. Some of these are made of white fancy cloth, dotted with pink or blue tufts of wool. A deep pointed hood is lined with white silk or satin, and finished with heavy end and tassels. A cloak of pale sal mon Thibet cloth, was trimmed with two bias folds of white silk. Above the folds small silken cord was festooned with white silk buttons. A deep white fringe was placed upon the bottom. The hood was pointed and trimmed to correspond. Many opera capes are richly embroidered with white or color ed silks, although the former seems to be the most elegant.
