dispute, and there is deficiency in the
Treasury of about 100000. The expenses
for the ensuing year will be about $1,000.

the deficiency and the expenses and allow
in another year of a reduction of about one

of the State are in better condition than
was generally expected.

\ New Moron FOR TA6aEns--h srEAI-
ENGINE WORKED By STRAW AND FARM REFCsE
IN PLACE OF Co4L.--[From the New York
Bulletin IA very interesting trial was re-
Gently made at the Vienna exhibition, be-.
fore experts, of new patent stean-engine
for burning straw and other vegetable pro-
ducts in place of coal. The engine is con-
sidercd one Of the greatest novelties Of the
exhibition, and, if successful, Is destined to
revolutioniZe agricultural labor by atlording
a cheap motive power derived from the ordi.
nary waste and refuse Of the farm. The the
orctical principle of the invention is to burn
straw, reeds, and other similar vegetable
substances by means of n self-acting me-
chanical arrangement, which continually
forces the straw, DC, into the fire-boX in
the form of fan, holding it in suspension
there, SO that each piece is subjected to the &C
ton of the fame aud no impeachment is offered
to the ingreSs of sufficient amount Of at
mospheric air. A 10-horse-power engine
was used for the experiment, making lao
revolutions per minute, and the brake was
loaded for duty Of 19-horse power. Three
hundred and fifty-fve pounds of straw was
carefully weighed, consisting partly of
straight rye and partly of loose, broken
wheat-straw purpcsely mixed, in order to
test the capabilities Of the engine for burn
ing all kinds Of fuel of this description. It
required forty-six minutes to consume the
straw, steam being kept up during the whole
time at pressure Of seventy pounds per
square inch with the greatest regularity.
The result gives consumption Of about 245
pounds of straw per horse power per hour !;
and as an engine burning average coal UNI
der similar circumstances would have re-
quired about GA pounds per horse
power per hour, it appears that rather
less than four pounds Of straw are equal
to one pound Of coal. In threshing, about
nine sheaves Of straw are required to thresh
100 sheaves Of wheat or barley. Everybody
present was highly satisfied with the results
of the experiment, as it has long been the
desire Of the farmers Of. all countries to find
some means of using steam power without
mourning the enormous expense Of bringing
coal and wood from long distance. This
invention completes another link in the his
tory Of the Steam.engne, and will enable
every farmer who grows more straw than he
requires for the use Of his land, and who Is
miles from a coal-mine or forest, 10 Use
steam instead of animal power, and at far
less cost than hitherto.

SUIT AGAINST CLERGYAAS BY HIS WIFE
The wife of the Rev. Alvah Wiswali, the as.
sistant minister of St. Johns chapel, in New
York city, has brought suit against her
husband in the Court of Common Pleas to
recover three mortgages for $4,000 each,
which she alleges TO be her property. and to
have been wropgfully appropriated by him.
In her complaint in this case, and IN pctl-
ton for relief addressed by her in June to
the vestry of Trinity church, Mrs. WlsWali
asserts that when she was married to her
present husband she was worth 200 in
her own right, and he was without means;
that her husband has Wronstnlly converted
her property and otherwise i'll used her, and
that she and her child have lived apart from
him for more than a year in state of cN-
IRENE poverty. 1t is understood that Dir.
Wiswall says his wife is insane. The New
York Express states that the rector and YES
try Of the church have Investigated the ac-
cuSations against Mr.. WiSwall, and are not
satisfied that they have any foundation.
