 Frank Brown, workman in the employ of the Collins company, May 26th, had his left hand crushed into narrow space be- tween a revolving shaft and post.

Mo ses of West Avon, five or six years of age, recently thoughtlessly thrust bean into one of her nestrils and was not able to get it out.

NEWSPAPERS BY ELECTRICITY.-The Lou- don correspondent of the Liverpool Cour- ter writes to that journal: It has been hinted from time to time that one of our wealthy London journals has under con- sideration' the practicability of printing its sheet in several of the great towns simulta- neously. in order to secure distribution of ts copies us early as the various local jour nals which are so fast depreciating the cir culation and once paramount influence of their London contemporaries. The leading journal had its attention drawn some weeks ago to an electric machine iu operation at the London Stock Exchange, by which the fuctuating quotations are telegraphed to 8 number of city offices, where an instrument composed of movable figures and dial pl .te, records from hour to hour. It an electrical current can be made to manipu- late movable figures, it was conceived that system of mechanical type-setting might be carried on simultaneously in number of distant places, the operation being di
 rccted from central office in London the news being there collected from all parts of the world, and that the copy might be put in type at several provincial offices simul- taneously by operating on an electric key board, or number of key boards, con- trolled in the central office. This idea, like so many other inventions, is not new. Mir. Mackay of the Warrington Guardian, worked upon the same line of invention eight years ago to my knowledge, and si- multaneous type-settlng by machinery was by him carried to a practical issue thoough he found that his invention did not result l in profit. He worked a number of type setting machines by operating on one key board, and proposed to set up newspaper columns fer any number of papers by this simultaneous process, the only difference being the various machines could not be placed in distant places. In other words, he did not connect them with electricity
 The fact remains that he actually worked some ten or twelve machines on this prin- ciple of connected action which derived it's directing power from one key board. There is no moral doubt that the same thing Can be done on @ wider. scale by electric agcn- cy. But if done, would the game be worth the candle9 know the Times, or ratl CT the manager of it's mechanical department, is putting the thing to 8 private test in or der to ascertain its mechanical practicabil- ities. If that can be made clear the 1Sn,es directors are not likely to be deterred by financial timidlty from the next step in the unparalleled adventure. What 6 world of journalistic development thls prospect opens to president eyes,

Business Improving.

Among the indications of improvement in the business prosperity of the country,
 the reviying of the iron and steel industries is noticeable. Pittsburgh is the centre of the iron manufacturing interests in this country, and the trade is very buoyant and active there at present. Prices are advan- cing, and orders for future delivery at pres ent rates are declined. All of the iron works in and around Pittsburgh, except two in bankruptcy, are in full blast. The people are happy under the dark cloud of smoke hanging over their city. The fur naces elsewhere are also resuming blast. Forty-six new furnaces were built in the United States in 1874, and new ones are building. The condition of the iron trade is usually taken as sure test of the gene. ral business of the country. The merchants of New York are reporting an increase of sales oyer last year. Yet it will be some time before all branches of industry will
 exhibit growth and prosperity. It is true. the lighter branches of manufacturers arc not yet in full operation, and operatives are suffering yet in such branches: and in fac
 the laboring class are the last 10 profit by the growing healthfulness of our business. This we believe, will not long be tRe case
 And in the meantime the laboring classes
 must practice the virtues of patient wait ng, economy and sobriety. Eachdnge.
