THE WIRE BoOK-sEwING MACHINE.

The most important advance that has lately
been made in book-bindng, says Mr. ii. Bill
gram in The Journal of the Franklin Institute,
is the substitution of wire for thread. The
principle of the machine by which this is done
consists in making number of U-shaped
of each section of the book through the back,
aud through a strong band of linen OF, cotton
fabric. The projecting ends are then clinchedi
over The principal merits Of this mode OF
binding books are strength durability and
hexibiity, besides the saving of labor, one
operator with the machine being able to do
as much work as eight operators by hand.
The machine has been rapidly adopted in
Europe, and it has also been introduced into
the Government binderies of England and the
United States, greatly reducing the cost OF
binding.

Considerable discussion has of late taken
place, particularly III England, as TO the pos

and various suggestions have been made Tor

these suggestions Is that of causing the cbb

sB- DEarH OF NEWTON HII

@- DEATH OF NEWTON HILL.-It is
with feelings of deep regret that we have
this week 10 chronicle the death of d.
Newton Hill, son of Mr.. John P. Hill,
of this town, which occurred in Balti-
more city on Monday morning last, OF
small pox, in the 25th year of his age,
after an illness of ten days. MIR. Hill
has been residing in Baltimore for the
past FIVE or six years; beng employed
in the wholesale grocery establishment
of his uncle, MIR. Geo. r. Staley, OF the
firm OF Staley, Jones 81 Co., on South
Howard street. He was truly model
young man. Upright and honest in all
his dealings; a true and earnest chris
tian: member of the Lutheran Church
from childhood, and respected by all
who knew him. lie leaves father,
three sisters and two brothers, besides
many friends who were near and dear
to him, TO mourn his sad death.
To the family upon whom this sad
.afiiction has fallen SO heavily. we e1-
tend the heartfelt sympathies OF the
town and community.
The dispatch announcing Newton's
death, was not received by his father
until late Monday evening, and after his
burial, which from the character OF his
disease, necessitated speedy interment.
The Baltimore american in speaking
of Mr.. Hills death says as follows:-
Newton Hill, the young clerk who was
the first person in the city stricken with
smallpox, died yesterday, (Monday), at
the Marine Hospital. This is the first
death of a city patient, one having occur
red before at Gainesville. He is supposed
to have contracted the disease from the
Washington tramp, who accosted him on
the street and asked him the way to Cam
den Station. A very short time after
wards he was taken ill and sent to the
hospital. His death occurred 1T A. NJ.
Young Hill was a native of Shepherds
town, w. Va, where he has father and
sisters living, and to them the sad news Of
his death was sent. His body was buried
from the hospital.

folks can felicitate themselves with hav'
lug one more day between January LIST
and Lent than was anticipated. This
being leap year, Ash Wednesday falls
on February llth, instead of the 10th,
as has been supposed by those, who,
looking over the Episcopal prayer book
have not read the foot note, which di-
rects that in every "bissextile" or 'leap
year," one day be added to the date Civ
en- in the table for the first day of Lent

which case the table gives the actual
day of the month. The 10th Of Febru-

There is another war cloud in Europe.
Great activity exists in military affairs
in Russia, and there is large concen-
tration of forces on the western frontier.
This is a threat against Germany and
Austria.
Col. Geo. Schley, one of the leading
members Of the bar at Hagerstown,
received the degree of A. M. from Yale
the other day. 1t seems that the class
OF which Col. Schley was member,
feeling itself agrieved at the imposition
of new study passed an ordinance of
secession and left the College. Col.
Schley went to the University of Vir-
ginia from which he was graduated.
The present faculty has seen tit TO con-
fer the degree of A. NJ. upon the mem
bers of that class
There is hardly a paper we have
picked up in which some mention is
is not made of the inexhaustible beds
of minerals and ore to be found in al
most every county of West Virginia.
Now we see that the Cambria Iron
Company, of Johnstown, Penn, and
the Edgar Thompson Steel Works of
Pittsburg, have parties out on a pro-
speeding tour in the Deighborhood of
Moorefeld to ascertain the nature and
extent of the mines in that locality.
Mr.. Moody, when asked the other
day by reporter of the Republican OF
ST. Louis, concerning his belief as to
hell, answered: "Of course base my
belief on the Bible, and there isn't
ray of hope held out that hell will be
otherwise than endless. There is no
hope held out beyond the grave that |
