The London bankers are now using
an electrical machine for the detection
Of bad or light gold coins. A stream
Of coins is gently shaken down a brass
slide, and one by one they fall upon a
testing bar so ~delicately adjusted that
a slight deficiency will set an appara-
tus in motion which jerks the bad
coin out at a side escape hole, while
the good ones pass into another recep-
tacle. The invention saves a good
deal of time and is correct to the
minutest point, and the royalty of
$500 a year which the inventor gets on
every machine is not considered exor-
bitant.

No. traces have yet been discovered
either Of the, bsloon or of the remains
OF Professor Wise, who probably met
his death in the lake about the same

perished. Doubtless, however, there
will be people in this case, as in that OF
Donaldson and Grimwood, unkind
enough to insinuate the possibility OF
Wise's escape BY the sacrifice This fell

TOBACCO IN GuERNsEY CouNTY.-Thc
Cambridge Jefsrsonian says q reporter
for taat paper recently interviewed Solo,
mon Hutton. Esq, OF Byesville, one OF
the largest dealers in tobacco in that re-
gion, and learned from the following
facts in relation to the crop, prospects,
etc. > The crop in Guernsey is light;
much less than the usual acreage was
planted lat tspring, owing to the wealth
er and the difficulty in obtaining plants,
and the season was very unfavorable.
Ai-cured tobacco commands the best
price, and Mr.. Hutton thinks that far,
mers should cure their tpbacco on the
stalk, as they do in Kentucky. As to
prices and prospects, Mr.. Hutton says
farmers are holding back for high .pri-
ces-much higher than they are likely to
get. The ruling rate in the country last
year was 90 to 81 per hundred. The
demand is not as good now as 1t was in
August, and the price will not go above
last years figures. The rate will likely
be IS to s8 per cwt Mr., Hutton. in
company with Francis Trott, bought
and packed over 100000 pounds last
wear at Point Pleasant and Byesville.
or this amount S7,97S pounds was
bought and packed by Mr.. Hutton alone
at Byesville. They still have consider
able quantity unsold at Baltimore.
