nearly All sections Of the country, whose

market has undergone change for the bet

bleached cottOns, &c, has materially
strengthened other goods and given renewed
conndence TO buyers, who are at length com
WINGED that bottom prices have been touched,
ard that their future transactions Win be
made In the ace Of rising market. The
event OF the week was an auction sale OF one
thousand cases OF Richmond prints, which
was made In order to ascertain what buy yers
were willing to give for new goods when cold
on short credit and Without guaranty or pro-
lection. The sale was very spirited and full
market prices were obtained-a fact which
may be attributed In great measure to the
measre supply Of dark prints In the market
and the exceptionally brisk demand for such
IN all seasonal BILE descriptions Of cotton goods
from first hands, and q brisk jobbing trade
has been developed. Bleached cottons were
very active, and general advance of about
cent was established on both popular and
outside makes. The print market has been
very active and strong. Dark fancy and
navy blue prints were In brisk request, and

A CHEAP REFRIGERAroR.-Ac cores
pOndent thus describes q cheap refrfgerator
1t Is about the size OF and resemble on the
outside, an ordinary tool chest; within there
are pieces OF wood fastened on for support,
and lining OF sinc put in-the space be.
tween the Zinc and the wood being filled
With pounded charcoal. This filling must
be all around. in the cover as well as In the
bottom and sides. In the end OF the box,
cleats Of zinc are s0ldered on, and the shelves
OF perforated zinc, or wire, or OF wooden
Stats, are slipped in. For rack TO put the
ice on, take four stats about four inches long
and nail them firmly to Q little block OF
plank, set this block down (like an Inverted
kitchen table) in basin, and put 1t In the
middle space in the box, between the rows
OF shelves. To make q piece OF leo do the
greatest amount of service, and last the long
est possible time, wrap 10 closely in several
th1cknesses OF flannel and lay IL on the rack.
A square tank holding a pail or two OF water
can be made of tin or zinc and fitted up close
to the inside, with a pipe leading through
the box, near the bottom, and Q faucet at.
tached. II this is kept filled with cold
spring or well water, and q lump of ice
thrown In occasionally, 1t will be found q
desirable convenience in hot weather. After
the box is finished 1t should be paintei and
set where the cover, when lifted MP, can rest
back upon brace or frame, as 1t is heavy
and would easily break from the hinges.
A cellar is good place for the Ice box, but
1t may be kept in the pantry, store-room or
wood shed, as Is most convenient.

BLID TO DEATH WHILE AsLEIP.-A
Plttsburg paper announces the death In the
city OF Detroit OF Thomas II. Ewens, young
man who resided with his mother in the
former city. The dispatch stated that the
death was caused by fall from the roof,
but IL is asserted now that the accident which
resulted In his death was one for which the
city of Detroit might easily be held respon-
stble IL the statement be correct. 1t is said
when the sidewalk gave way, precipitatine
him down distance OF eight feet. He arose
with slisht scratch on the wrist, but laugh.
tpgly dismissed the subject and continued
the walk with his friends till bedtime, when
ne retired. On Sunday morning he was
found dead In bed. AS the wound on the
wrist was not considered sufficient to cause
death, an investigation was made and IL was
found that an artery In the throat had been
Hptufeo In such . manner that when he
was In an upright position no oeriouG con-
sequences resulted, but while lying In bed
he bled 70 death. Such fatality is cousid-

The subject of building new line or road,
opening an entire new route TO Pittsburg ana
able attention In Pittsburg. and is also now
being brought to the attention Of the busi-

river to Beaver, up the Big Beaver to New
Castle; ta at1e then up the Mahoning to Youngs-
the Baltimore and Ohio At PlttaburS; with

Vile, Buffalo and Erie Roads at New Castle;
the Ashtabula harbor direct, and to the whole

gauge to Painesville, and the Atlantic and
Great Western direct TO Cleveland, the west
burg paper, from which We gather the above
facts, states that the cars will run Into ore
HUNDRED and thirty: fve iron works and thir-
Of various kinds. II 10 regarded as the most
direct line from Pittspurg and Cleveland TO
the coke regions, and its entrance into Pitts
manufacturing and Commercial intsrests Of
that place. Tho location Of the line has been
thoroughly made, after Q careful examine
Of the country, among whom are Mr.. James
l.. Randolph. chief engineer of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, and Mr.. Charles Latimer,
scholar and engineer, Of the Atlantic and
great western railway. Both these gentle
men have, We understand, testified in the
highest terms to the Judicious location, easy
grades and great advantages OF this line. The
grades are really tnsignificant.
After thorough computation 1t has been
concluded that the entire cost of this road
through from Pittsburg to Cleveland will not
exceed ope-ha1 the capital stock OF the
Cleveland and Ptttsburg railroad. To this
advantage must also be added the one OF dis
lance, for It brings those two cities twenty
miles nearer each other. and has but few
grades. Placing Cleveland twenty miles

Under his beneicent and magnanimous
administration, alike characteristic OF
PATRIOT AND CHRISTIAN,
confidence and hope were restored. and
new and brighter era dawned upon
the South For this the people would
deem themselves derelict in duty and
false to every better instinct were they
to fail to testify their deep gratitude
