LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

those who have examined IL and seen 1t 1
operation at the case, will in time largel
supersede gas in printing Offices, if not 70
lighting stores and many other public place;
The diff sulty Of using coal oil light at print
ers' cases has heretofore been that the bow
of the lamp suspended over the case produce
q shadow, which left some of the type boxe
with less light than Others, snd the lamp Wa
also itself in the way of type setting and In
convenient. This is entirely overcome by tn
invention Of Mr.. Hsrber, and stronger
steadier light produced than that of gas, aut
even more convenient, az it may be raised 0
lowered at will, being attached to the ordi
nary gas p'ps depending from the ceiling b,
rod within the pipe, snd he'd at any desirec
hight by msaas OF thumbscrew. An,
sized burner may he used with the lamp, an.
these are screwed into small receptacle a
the end Of the cross-bar or tube which convey
the oil from q central horizontal barrel Of
tank, some hing in the manner of the Ger
man student lamp, but not upon tbs SAM
siphln principle. There is nothing in til
lamp to get out of order. It's construction i
exceedingly simple, and it appears to com
bine the extreme of durability az we'll a
economy for the results attained One ha

NEW STYLE PHAEroN- GIG.-There is at
present in the repository of j. F. Hills car
riAge factory, street, between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth, shandsome two, wheeled phaeton,
or cottage gig, as it is called, built by Mr.. Hill
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. Il 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 il can be used in all kinds of weather.
The gig in question is made of the best ma.
terials, ia finished in first class manner, but
is of modest appearance. It is altogether a
"natty turnout, aud the ex-Go vernon will
probably be in its possession long before
many of his neighhors will become owners of
q similar luxury. They are not expensive,
and will probably be "sll the style " on the
Riverside the coming season. The phaeton
can be seen at Hills carriage factory for a
few days,
