sTELL IT ALL."-Upwards Of thirty
thousand copies have already been
sold, and no late book has excited
more interest in al sections. We re-
fer to Mrs. T. B. H. Stsnhouse's new
book, entitled "Tell 1t All'-the gen
uine history of a real Mormon wo-
man. Two years ago the author pub
lished = pamphlet ON polygamy which
created quite a sensation among the
"Saints." The Mormon papers took
it up and deridingly called upon her
to "tell it ALL" whereupon men and
women who know the rare ability OF
the lady seized the opportunity and
urged her to write . book and lay
bare the iniquitious subject. Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe writes pre-
face to the work, which is a guaran-
tee of its purity and delicacy; aud it
is now before the public, endorsed by
all who have seen il. II is, however,
sold only by subscription, and n. J.
Cook, who is now canvassing Inland
township, and will soon 60 info
Springfield, will offer to many their
only chance to secure an interesting
and valuable book.

The CAN'T" LECTURE came OF
Tuesday evening in the Court House,
according to announcement, and with
q very fair attendance of our citizens,
including some from quite distant
parts Of the county. The speaker,
Rev. Mr.. Tanning, is not one Of the
"ranters,' whose opposition is ben.
chit to any cause; but on the contrary
he delivers . rather able and wholly
respectful and argumentative address.
The argument was, of course, as to
the character of secret organizations
in general as an element in civilized
society, but in his specific references
he ignored all secret orders except
the Masonic. Space does not permit
any attempt at a synopsis of the lee
turc here, but we learn that it is to
be repeated within short time,
when VIC may be able to lay an alb
stract before our readers.

TnG New FIRE ESGINE-SoME
ITEMS CoNcERNING IT'S CoNsTRUC-
TON AND CLAIMs.-Many of our
citizens have seen, and admired for
its beauty Of construction, if nothing
else, the new chemical fire engine
which arrived at our depot some days
ago. And as its practical merits are
soon to be passed upon at a public
trial, upon the result of which de-
ponds its purchase or refusal by our
town, we assume that there is general
interest in the subject and that few
facts descriptive and explanatory
will not be unacceptable.
The running gear of the machine
is modelled somewhat after that Of \
large carriage, being gracefully put
up, with hind wheels about one third
larger than the front. The wheels
are surmounted by frame which
supports two cylinders containing the
ingredients for producing the extin-
gushing power. These cylinders
constructed of galvanized iron, we
believe-are independent of each
other, and are pivoted in the frame
or hung on swivels, and are turned
over when the engine is brought into
action. The cylinders have . ca
pacity of eighty gallons each, equal
to forty times the same quantity Of
water. In other words, the two have
an extinguishing power Of 6,4oo gal
Ions of water, being 160 multiplied
by 40. The cylinders are kept
primed with water and chemical in
gradients latter consisting of
sulphuric acid and bicarbonate Of
soda-which are mixed by simply
inverting the vessels. BY this action
the bicarbonate Of soda which ac-
cumulates ut the bottom of the cylin-
der goes to the top when tho cylinder
is turned over, and then falls down,
thus becoming thoroughly mixed
with the water, while the acid, which
is contained in the jar At the top,
goes to the bottom after the cylinder
is turned over, and then rises and
mixes with the soda as it comes
down, thus forming the gas BY .

chemicals instantly produces = force

very successful one, but was made SO

of Mr.. Sherwood, who was obliged to
