A NEW MoToR.-Mr. William Wells of Salem. Mass, is the inventor of an appa- rstus for running engines by vapor power, which, if it realizes the expectations of its inventor, will produce revolution in the method of running engines of every des- cription. A recent trial of the new engine was pronounced extremely satisfactory. The apparatus is thus described by the Bos- ton Globe: 'The whole peculiarly in con struction is in the boiler; the engine being precisely like any other, and the vapor be- ing conveyed to the cylinder of the engine just the same as steam. The boiler is an upright one, and is really double boiler that is, It has two heads at each end, one a few inches from the tier. The two cham bers thus formed, one at each end of the boiler, are filled with water, and are con nected by tubes, which are for the clrcula- tion of the water between the two cham. bers. The second or inner boiler, that be- tween the two inner heads, IS filled with 8 preparation of bisulphide of carbon. the vapor from which is the motive power talk ing the place of steam. Beneath the boiler is small fire-box, from which lines run up through the two boilers to the smoke, pipe. These hues pass inside of the tubes already mentioned, and the fire, in passing through, heats the chemicals. By this ar engagement it will be seen that the bisulphide in the inner boiler receives the requisite amount of heat without coming in direct contact with the fire fues, as the water is kept in circulation through the tubes. Mir. Wells claims that with comparatively small fire great amount of power can be obtained, and it has been practically shown that with the water at temperature of PIP degrees fahrenheit, or the boiling point, a pressure of 65 pounds to the square inch is obtained on the vapor boiler, and of course if a greater heat Is applied to the water the vapor pressure will in crease proportion ately. It should he mentioned that he chemical preparation is used over many times, as the vapor, after passing through the cylinder of the engine, passes into a condenser, and is then returned to the boil CT to be used again. The waste of chemi- calls is said to be very small It is estimat- ed that at least two-thirds of the amount of fuel can be saved by the use of this inven- tion, hut the exact amount can be better determined after further experiment.

PRETTY STRoNG.-An incident attending ride on Sunday last is told by the Lancas- ter Penn Erpress, the parties being Mir. Stephen Musser of Marietta, and a lady from Philadelphia. The lady held the reins, and in rounding curve turned too suddenly, resulting in tilt of the buggy, which threw her headforemost from her seat. Her body had already left the buggy, and she was descending upon her head be- tween the wheels, when Mr. Musser, with that quickness of thought that comes to some persons in the hour of danger, seized her by the bustle with his left hand, while he grasped the reins and checked the horse with the right hand. The bustle was for tunately well secured, and the lady was saved.

Wjasted.-Winsted is enlivened with bit of gossip over David A. Barclay, a former citizen, who recently died at Callao, Peru, after an absence of ten years. It was case of elopement, Barclay deserting his lawful wife who is still living in Win sted, and fleeing the country with Miss Jew cit, young woman, at that time in his em- ploy as tailoress. They have been buried in obscurity ever since, till now, the death of both has thrown upon the cold charity of the world a seven-year old waif of a boy, the fruit of their union. The boy has been supported for some time by benevo- lent society at Callao, but it's funds running out, hls relatives have been sought out in Connecticut, and efforts are being made to get them to take charge of him.-Er- change.

y \ remarkable murder trial has
Just been concluded i'll the north of
Ireland, and has resulted in the convic-
ton of the murderer and a full confess
sion of his guilt.
The victim was bank clerk, named
Glass, who WAS found dead in a bank
ing office, one afternoon. he having
been left there alone by his employer
y large amount of money was missing
from the bank, but no clcw could be
obtained to the murderer until nearly
a month after, when woman living
opposite the banking office came for
ward and testified that she saw Sub
Inspector Montgomery. an officer of
police, 90 into the bank and come ont
again about the time the murder must
have been committed. Montgomery
was arrested, but he stoutly denied any
knowledge of the affair. He was i'm
priSoned on the verdict of Il coroncr's
jury, but the feeling against him in the
district WAS 50 strong that his trial was
postponed till the autumn assizes of
last wear, and even then all persons
living within five miles of Newtown
Stewart were excluded from the Jury
box. The trial lasted several days. and
the jury We're unable to agree. At the
spring asSizcs, i'll March last, the whole
process was repeated; eighty witnesses
were examined, and after one of the
longest trials in the criminal records in
Ireland. the jury again failed to agree,
and were discharged. AT the present
summer assizes, the whole investigation
has been gone through again, and has
ended i'll Il conviction. and Montgomery,
thus found guilty. has confessed the
crime. In his address to the court, he
declared that he WAS Insane, his tinan-
cial embarrassments having driven him
to despair. He called attention to the
fact that the crime had been called IL
terrible murder by the prosecution. and
he wished the court to believe that no
man possessed of any feeling could per
pctratc it III his right senses
