The RabcOck Fire ExtinguiSh-

er.-Many have been the devices of
scientific men the ten years past for ex-
tinguishing fires The old hand engines
have been superseded by the steam fire
engine, and drilled and disciplined or
ganization of men paid for their SER
vices have taken the place Of the old
volunteer company's Of few years
since, which at best were molly crew
of inefficient, and generally speaking,
in our larger cities, rufianly marauders
and oftentimes incendiaries.
Within brief period the Babcock
Extinguisher has come in to use. now
greatly perfected, so that it is safe to
say that any fire occurring in our city
the past ten years might have been
speedily extinguished by one of these
| instruments.
The Extinguisher consists of cy-
lindrlcal can stoughtly made capable
of holding three or four pailfulls OF
water, at its top is lead receptlcal tor
muriatic acid, holding about pint.
The water is strongly impregnated with
an alkaline powder. Leather straps so
made as to easily be thrown over the
shoulders are attached to the cylinder,
causing it to rest easily upon the back.
In case of fire, plunger inserted into
the leaden vessel is withdrawn, which
empties the acid into the alkaline solu-
ton, causing the generation of gas
destructive to fame, and in volume
sufficient to extinguish a burning
building as large as any Of our bust
ness houses. The pressure is 1000 lbs.
and the gas is forced out through a
rubber hose in such a manner that a
man can walk into burning tenement
extinguishlng the fame as he advances.
These instruments have been effect
ually tried, and in almost every bust
ness house in the larger cities they are
kept fully charged and ready for use
at moments notice.
The idea very naturally suggests it's
self to us, would it not be we'll for our
city authorities to furnish number of
these instruments for home protection?
Again, would it not be wise thing for
our merchants to invest in them
Several we notice are already prepared
to combat the enemy with these won
derful machines. Mr.. Worthington
and Mr.. Kline each have one or two.
We believe that enc in every store
will save us from conhigration. We
believe that Mr.. Kline is the agent
through whom negotiations may be
made for one, or as many as desired.
We call the attention of our Common
Council to the matter believing it to be
a subject worthy their consideration.
We believe that Mr.. Kline is ready to
test the efficiency of the instrument. if
a suf6 cient number of citizens, or our
Common Council desire to test its eff
cacy with a view of purchasing.

Snow. severe snow storm visited
us last week. The "beautiful snow
fell, whirled and drifted to a depth OF
nearly eighteen inches. A general
thaw sufficient to pack what has fallen
will make excellent sleighing. Up to

no thaw, and many days the mercury

to give the G. B. i L. p. r. r. Co.
the sum of $50, provided the road
should be pushed through to Merrillan
and cars running thereon by Jan'y 1st,
1873. At the time, it was thought to
be impossible to accomplish the work
but the company, with the most persist

Wood County IrOn.-We had

been promised an article giving the
developments in prospecting for iron
in the town Of Rudolph, Wood county,
but have not received it. We met at
Grand Rapids last week Mr. Robb,
who had recent visited the spot and
gives us the following items The
shaft has been sunk to depth Of 65
feet. The earth was mixed with pieces
of ore more or less all the way down.
Fifty feet from the surface vein of
hematite ore was found about seven
feet deep. Beneath that was clay,
loose ore and rock and large amount
of red oxide of iron. This stratum
was about 10 feet deep, when they
came to a solid ledge of ore, dipping to
the south and west. The stone met
with contains numerous beautiful quartz
crystals. Not having seen the ore, We
are unable to say anything of its value
nor do we know whether the company
intend to prosecute mining. Mr.. Robb
tells US that several handsome agates
have been found in the vicinity of

DeXteryille.-The excursion train
on the G.. B. & L. P. R'y stopped for
half an hour the other day at Dexter
vile, and we'uns took little tramp
around the place. 1t is not large
place, but we think has good prospects
ahead. Its moving spirit is Geo. Hiles.
Dexterville lies on the Yellow River, a
branch of the Wisconsin, and on the
line of the railway, about Is miles west
of Grand Rapids. There is mill, a
small hotel and store here. There is
fiat but little higher than the river,
surrounded by natural high bank and
the low land overgrown with trees
She river runs through this, and the
railway crosses its lower end on the
natural bank. 1t was evidently once a
little lake. Mr.. Hiles proposes to re-
move his mill from this fat to the high
ground near the railroad, cut off the
timber and dam the river, which will
again set the water back and form a
pocket capable of holding from sixty to
seventy millions feet of logs. The riv-
err at this point is about $50 feet wide.
Mr.. Hiles is the owner of about 40
900 acres of pine lands in this vicinity
and interested in about 10000 acres
more. The lumber manufactured here
is RATED down the Yellow river to the
Wisconsin, and down the Wisconsin to
the Mississippi, to find a market. The
Yellow river empties into the Wiscon-
sin river at Germantown, 10 or Is miles
above kilbourn City.
The population of Dexterville is about
so in summer and $50 in winter, yet
there has never yet been death or bu-
rial here. Mr.. Hiles has resided here
most of the time for II years. Some
body suggested that corpse ought to
be imported in order to start cemete
ry, but this necessity will probably soon
be obviated, as we understand a physi-
clan has recently settled there. Green

Now we'll leave it to George himself

there ought not to have been a funeral
