The Substitute for Steam.

A man named Kelley, after living four
teen years in back street in Philadel-
phia, has come to the front. He brings
with him wonderful, marvellous, u
miraculous invention, the fruit of the
years of patient struggle against poverty
and failure and dependency. This is Il
new motor, cold water (teetotaD engine,
compound of chambers, pipes and
valves, into which air is forced from above
and water let in from below. Then by
some utterly unknown process the new
force is generated. The pressure it exerts
is simply tremendous, varying from 9, 1000
to Is 900 pounds on the square inch! The
less than 200 pounds to the square inch.
This is the story the inventor and his con-
fcdcratcs tell. He processes To have dis
covered new force dependent upon new
chemical and mechanical laws, and be-
You'd and above every other known power
of Nature. A company has been formed
to introduce it into general use, and not a
share of stock is for sale y.
In a case like this seeing is believing.
When the patents already applied for have
been got, and the new power has been
practically and publicly applied, then,
but not till then, will the world or wise
men give any credcnce to this wild story.
But, If it proves to be true, the possible
results are beyond the Imagination of the
widest dreamer The steam-cngine will
disappear. The motivc-power of the
world will be cold water and air. The
demand for coal will well nigh vanish, for
the new force can of course be converted
into heat, and. will thus supply warmth as
well as motion. Smoke will become an
extinct nuisance. Trains will dart along
the railroads at the minimum of expense
and maximum of velocity, and the prob
lens of cheap transportation will be for
ever solved. A very great part of the cost
of manufacturing will be saved. Flying
machines will become perfectly practicable,
for here is "a force that far exceeds that
exercised by bird in proportion
to its weight. Steamships will flash
across the ocean, and the vast amount of
room now used in storing coal, etc, will
sion on sea and land will be greatly less
ened. Although steam has never been
successfully applied to artillery, this new
power, perhaps, may be. The General of
the future will then go forth to meet an
army with Il few iron pipes and boxes, a
pail of wafer, "a force-pump and a million
or so of bullets. Thus equipped he will
sweep off the foe by regiments. There is
no end to the possible powers, uses and
benefits of this invention, should it prove
to be what is claimed for it. The whole
world will be the gamer to an incOnceiva-
bic extent. The enormous fortune sure to
be realized by the inventor and his ring of
hackers will be well deserved, and the
name of Keeiey will be known to the end
of the world and to the end of time

MARCH, Goth 1875.
ED. PREss.-Spring, merry spring,
brings in its train, many joys and incl
dents worthy of note, and those which
are most prevalent in our County;papers,
pertain to the "closing of our public
schools" and Spelling Matches" In
the latter, New Lexington seems to be
feasting, while, in the former, our public
schools are enjoying good time. To
the list, let me add few thoughts, con-
cerning the close of the "New Reading
School," taught by Jos. l. Thomas,
which occurred on March 18th. The old
bell rang its invitation for the one hun
dredth time, The scholars, parents and
friends gave heed to its familiar tones,
and repaired to the school house.
For me to give full detail of the ex-
ercises of the day and evening would be
too lengthy, but, suffice it to say that
they consisted OF review in the branches
taught, declamations and singing. The
enrolment of the pupils was 81, the
average daily attendance was so. The
number of parents present, was 35. The
parents gave the scholars, and all pres
ent, good dinner, consisting of roast
beef, chickens, bread, butter, pies, cake,
jellies. &c.-All enjoyed it finely, partic-
ularly, the ladies, as they had their cup
of coffee. The teacher at the close of the
days exercises treated the scholars to
candies, and gave each printed card
showing the grade in each branch, and
the number of "head Marks" each one
received. The highest number (345)
was achieved by Geo. r. Arnold.
Addresses were given by Peter Over
myer, DR.. G. NJ. Weller, J. c. Foun.
tain, r. F. Baker and Aaron Binckley
The teacher spoke of the good behavior
and respect the scholars had given, and
the close application to their books

quest of the audience with an entertain.

A ronsing crowd was in attendance at
the meeting of the Mite Society in the
Town Hall on last Wednesday evening
and all seemed TO have greatly enjoyed
the occasion. The ladies who had the
matter in hand, were unSparing in their
efforts to render the festival-if we may
so call it-well worthy of patronage, and
such, indeed, it was. The supper was
excellent in a high degree, and gave
ample satisfaction to the hungry throng
who partook of it. The spelling match
was not so generally participated in by
the men as could have been wished
still it was sufficiently animated to &C.
casion considerable interest among the
Spectators. Brother Doubleday, who
participated in the spelling tournament,
early cayed in on "blosum" tblossom.)
Mr. Dick, another old-time school mas
ter, had better luck, and ratified off the
words when it came his turn with vim
and in style, greatly calculated to re-
mind one of the characteristic champion
speller of district school in the olden
time. The younger folks also, general
ly acquitted themselves creditably. 1t is
charitably said of Doubleday that he
went down purposely, and we are inclin-
ed to believe that this is fact
We understand that the spelling match
will be repeated on this evening next
We did not ascertain the amount of
money realized by the entertainment-
but presume it must have been some
what handsome" as the attendance was
unusually large.

ED. PREss.-Having been an old res
ident of Somerset, and still taking consid-
erable interest in her welfare, am glad
to hear through the columns ofthe Press
each week what is transpiring. I see
the County Seat question is being aglta-
ted once more. 1t does not appear how
ever that the people are taking hold of
it in the proper way. The first thing
that should be done is to ignore politics
altogether. OF course this will not suit
the office seekers. But it matters little
to the public in general whether it suits
them or not for as long as the Office seek
ers of Northen Perry have the say so, just
so long there will be nothing done to-
ward the removal of the seat, of justice
There are men in your midst who are
perfectly willing for the County Seat to
remain in New Lexington, in order that
"peace may remain in the party" and
they secure some petty office. This
is known to almost every one in the
County, and in order for Northern Per
ry to do anything they should throw
that class overheard.

were legiOn-and voted with the same
