LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

those who have examined it and seen it il
operation at the case, will in time largely
supersede gas in printing Offices, if not fol
lighting stores and many other public places
The diff ,ulty of using coal oil light at print
ers' cases has heretofore been that the bow
of the lamp suspended over the case produced
shadow, which left some of the type boxes
with less light than otherF, and the lamp wat
also itself in the way of type setting and In.
convenient. This Is entirely overcome by the
invention of Mr.. Hsrher, and a stronger
steadier light produced than that of gas, and
even more convenient, as it may be raised OF
lowered at will, being attached to the ordi'
nary gas p'po depending from the ceiling by
q rod within the pipe, and he'd at any desired
hight by msaas OF a thumbscrew. Any
sized burner may be used with the lamp, and
these are screwed into small receptacle at
the end of the cross-bar or tube which conveys
the oil from a central horizontal barrel or
tank, some hing in the manner of the Ger.
man student lamp. but not upon tbs same
sil hln principle. There is nothing in the
lamp TO get out of order. It's construction is
exceedingly simple, and it appears to com.
bine tbs extreme of durability az well ss
economy for the results attained. One has
been ia successful operaii ion in the composing
rooms of the RECORD. UNION for some weeks
past, and the inventor goes to San Francisco
to-day to put samples in operation for test in
that city. A caveat has been filed upon the
invention by Mr.. Harder, and patent will
soon be applied for.

for ex Governor Perkins for use on the streets
of OAKLAND. 1t has already been given a
trial in this city, and is claimed by those who
have examined it to be the easiest riding cart
yet manufactured. II is somewhat on the
principle of the old.fsshioned chsise," but
much more stylish and lighter. 1t looks best
when the top is down, aud is so constructed
that it can be used in all kinds Of weather
The gig in question is made of the best ma.
tsrials ID finished in first class manner, but
is of modest appearance. 1t is altogether a
"natty turnout, aud the ex.Go vernon will
probably be in its possession long before
many Of his neighbors will become owners of

and will probably be "sl the style on the
Riverside the coming season. The phaeton
can be seen at Hills carriage factory for
few days,
