desiiing to purchase stoves, we can cordially
recommcud Mr.. +. II. Lenderking, 233 W.
Pratt 81 Baltimore. and whose advertisement
may be found in the fifth column, fourth
page of the INDEPENDENT. We have recently
seen a coolliag-stove purch. sed from him,
through that advertisement, and it is one Of
the most perfect and complete affairs we have
ever seen, and we think an experience Of over
twenty years, in housekeeping with cooking
stoves, entities our opinion to some weight.
The lady who is the happy possessor of this
stove, stated most emphatisally, that unless
she was certain she could getanothcr one like
it she ''would no: take 500 cash for it ~ and
we believe her. As the lady in question too
has had considerable experience with cooking
stoves, We consider hers first class endorse
ment.

Daily StcdnteFS.-The St. Mary's Bed-
con says that is reported that about 22nd inst.
an arrangement will 60 into effect by which
there will be daily communication, by steam
boat between Washington City and the lower
Potomac. The Steamer Arrowsmith will make
daily trips between Washington and Black
stones Island and return, connecting there
with the Mystic, which will run from the
landings on the lower river, lying over each
night at Leonardtown. As both make all
the usual landings this will afford facilities of
travel never before enjoyed by those living on
the Potomac and its tributaries, in both this

Acres
Bushels

According TO this return Charles county
stands the seventh from the lowest in the
yield of wheat and rye; the sixth from the
lowest in the yield Of corn, and next to the
highest in the yield of tobacco, Prince Georges
county making 6s75 .246 pounds, whilst
Anne Arundel makes 444l 0l0 and St. Marys
4.42s.3l6, pounds. What surprises us most
about these returns is that Charles county has
81 acres in barley and raises l.723 bushels
of that article, making it, next to Carroll
county, the largest producer of barley, by a
good deal, the next highest county being Bal.
tmore, which yields but 44s bushels. We
were not aware that a single grain Of this
cereal was grown in this county, and we
would really like to know where il is grown.
Who would have believed there was more
barley than rye grown in this county? Can
anyone give US information on the sub
ject.

An Interesting Exhibition.

Yesterday afternoon another trial of the new refrigerating machinery now in use al the packing house of Messrs S. E. Merwin & Son in this city took place, a number o1 gentlemen being present. The trial was very satisfactory.
 The machine was set in operation at one o'clock D. m. The temperature of the air outside of the building was upwards of 80 de yrees Fahrenheit. In less than thirty min utes the outside of the air pipes vas thiokly covered with frost and ics, and the air as it entered the conducting pipe was registered at thirty degrees below zero.
 Next In importance to the production of heat is the production of cold, and the efforts to attain this end economically and effective ly have been many and various. Most of the processes in use at the present time for ar tifcial refrigeration ice making employ chemicals. One of the best in use in this country is that in which sulphuric ether em- ploys the all important part in producing the necessary degrees of cold. The ether is va porized in partial vacuum and absorbs heat from brine during it's vaporization. The vapor thus produced is subsequently, deliver ed into condenser, where it Is iquifed un- der slight pressure, to be again vaporized and recondensed, these operations to suc- ceed each other so long as ice making or re- frigeration continues.
 The process yesterday is a radical depart ure from all of the old methods of refriRera- tion, and is entirely new and very simple The principle on which it works is common air. first compressed by power, then cooled and expanded.
 It is well known that the compression of at- mospheric air gives rise to sensible heat and when highly compressed larger quantities of moisture are condensed. And when the air is suddenly expanded frost and ice gathers and stops the working of the machinery by freezing up. All of these difficulties appear to have been entirely overcome in this new invention, and the air intensely cold passes out of the machine and is delivered broadcast into the refrigerating room, in the present case 70 feet distant from the machine. .
 From a careful estimate of the capacity of this machine by an Officer of the Navy de- pertinent it is said it is capable of refrigerat- ing suitably constructed room of from for ty to fifty .thousand cubic feet of space, wherein animal and vegetable substances would be preserved in perfect state and condition.
 The patents covering this new process for the United States and British Provinces are now owned by the American Refrigerating Company of this city, the directors of which are some of our most substantial business men, their purpose being to thoroughly de- velope and introduce the invention through ont the country

Sudden Death.

Miss Jeannie s. Jerome, whose death oc- cured Monday morning at the residence of her parents on Atlantic street, was young lady of rare beauty and of marked Christian character. Widespread sorrow will be oc- casioned by her early departure from this life. During the past year she has suffered greatly from consumption, but fortunately her death was apparentlya painless one, and she retained entire consciousness until the last. The funeral services will be held at her late residence at half-past 10 o'clock Thursday morning. The burial will be in the new ceni- etery at New Haven at p. m. the same day. -Hartford Tyass
