Dear Sir :—A few days ago we had a
fire at our shipyard, which was caused by
the boding over of the pitch This
vessel stood m a small frame structure, es
pecially designed for the purpose of storing
*tad melting the At th'tj, time of the
fire there was a barre? and a half standing
in the building, and about half a barrel in
the kettle. The fire was instantly opposed
by two powerful streams from the city
mains. The water seemed to have very
little effect upon the flames, but as the doz
en Babcock Extinguishers were brought to
bear uponjthemjthey were qucikly subdued.
Our experience thus far has been very
satisfactory, and has, confirmed the high
opinion we have always entertained for

A WILD HL XTItESS:
A PENNSYLVANIA GlftL LOST IN THB WIL
DERNESS— HER LOVE OF HUNTING
stronger than of
HOME.
The Wheeling' Register of tHe 20tli
instant, tell the following story on
the authority of Tdli# Afbsseiijjer of
Wind ridge; u reek ciiidty, Petnsyl
vauia, for whoso veracity it vouches :
A man liviiig near Wiudridge,
Green county, Penn., had born ?d
him fP’e ohildfeli; fetir girls and one
boy. His name is Daniel Lebis.—
When quite young the boy hild sec :
ond daughter, named Lucinda Lew
is; developed Huite a fohdiiess for
hunting, and were out iieai iy .ali the
time, roaming tho woods in search
of gante; They sefeihed td delight
in nothing so much as the fail life
df ff liiiliter, and would be from home
i*
for weeks at a time. After some
four or five years the boy quit it, and
entered tllb mofe industrious pur
suits of life, but the girl continued
in the chase. Prawing herself ttfb'tb"
and nio’fe ffo'm human interoourse
and restraint, she has become a wild
wotllan fieeirig from the approach of
Kbr liifd with the speed of a deef.
During the early years, of her sol
itary life she used to approach her
father’s hoiis’a and entire the dogs
to follow her; learning almost any
breed of dogs? to gdtfd hun
ters. In the hope of bringing her
back to her Lome and to civilization,
her brother .followed her and shot
krf 0 T 1
the dog she had taken away, using
every inducenieiit to ge! fler Lack
with him, but all in vain.
For eighteen years, since she was
12 years of ago, she hes livSd “this
wild life; Sleeping lit the centres of
straw stacks duringnight, anil
hiding in them during the summer
the cultivated fruits she intends for
her winter’s store of provisions. Sue
is now thirty years old, and is as
wild as the most untamed denison
of the fcil'csC:
Mr. Messenger says he at one
time, while out hunting, - met her in
the woods. Her long black hair,
covering her face and eyes; was mat
ted with burrs and leaves; ancl her
black flashing eyes f&ae her o start
ling picture. She remained perfect
ly stifr until he got within* twenty
feet of her wlieff site turned and fled
with swiftness no man could Lope
to rival;
A few da}’s since sue was seen
again, and then had in her hand
three pheasants and four rabbits,
but altho’ these encumbered her she
eluded every attempt to capture
her. She has been so long in. the
Woods' tmt she has become perfect
ly wild. Her dress is made of the
skins of wild animals and* a blanket
that she has taken somewhere du
ring some of her nocturnal ffrecfafb
ry tours.
A Champion Old Man of the Pe-
Bl ob._-The Peoria Review has its
own old man, who r&qds paper
and no othei 1 , and thus describes
him : “ Chewed tobacco sixty years
and got fat on |t. , Then he took to
hard drink ami followed it for twen
ty-five years', anct grew younger,
every day. Now he reads his paper
by moonlight alone, through an in
verted microscope, to make the type
appear small enough for his eye
sight. Walks four miles every morn
ing' for his drinks before breakfast.
Chops a cord of wood between each
meal.' Tried fp die of old age .thir
teen times and failed every whack.
Attends to th'e wants of his old and
feeble grandson, and superintends
the funerals of his prosperity with a
decency becoming his years. ’
Some men at Louisville were bett
ing on the weight of a large mule,
when one man, who was* a good
judge of the weight of live stock, got
behind the mule and was m easuring
his hind quarters', when something
appealed to loosen Up the mule.'
Just before the expert died he gave
it as fcis opinion that if the mule was
as heavy all over as he was behind,
he must weight not far from 47,000
pounds.
SNAKY PETS.
Amdfig ;e phased of
English society > ■ . .-rowing disposi
tion to make pc.ts of snakes. A recent
writer in an English paper says that
when he first eoiniiieh cel to Luv
tllem Jcf laming purposes, lie could
buy them cheap : but life taste for
them had grown so that some kind
were very hard to get, and he regard
ed his collection as of very consider
able value; For ridding dwelling
houses And stables bf mice and rats,
they are regarded as far better Ilian
c’dts; aild ath said io inake themselves
not near so disagreeable as Tabby
can when she is so disposed.
Acttridtlsi law citse recently came
up on account of this snake fancying
disposition. A gentleman named
Mann, had some half ti dozen of these
pstg; m a neighbor named Cock
burn, sued him for “maintaining a
nuisance:” It appears that thb only
nuisance was the bodily fear in which
Mr. Cockbiiirl afid his family were
pttt by tHie knowledge that Mr. Mann
kept snakes The case hlis bceK on
trial for some time in England, being
carried from cotlrt to court, and is
Hot cUttcltlded yei On OCfe of the
'* • ’«»* '•••♦*. ,»
recent examinations, Mr. Trank
Buckland, the celebrated naturalist
and editor of Land and ‘Water, was
examined ahd tints testified :
r dlie snakes were seven in number,
and were of the following description:
Four of them were common English
snakes, which everybody ought to
know, in tt&'ffe’ fiibi'dtrh day S3 of
education; are as harmless as spar
rows; It is very interesting to ob
serve the effect that kificfn'e&S arid
domesticity have had upon these
beautiful animals. Os the three
others, one was an Indian python* a
very quiet snake, but apparently not
in good health. ’lhis snake *is per
fcetlp harmless. Otie is ail American
of Brazilian boa, between six feet
and seven feet long and weighing
from twelve to eighteen pounds anti
is the li'innsbmest J ever saw in my
life. She is perfectly tame ant? harm
less, and it is most interesting to See
Mr. Mann’s two little children, aged
respectively sevliif yh'titft, play
with! ffie snake as though it were a
large, toy. The other is a lacertine
snake from North Africa. I consider
that Mr. Mann f by taming these
snakes; has opned np anew phase
in natufal history, and has demon
strated that shakes have an intelli
gence far superior to the standard
that is generally all r ! > ’ hepa by
writers on natural id Every
one of Mr. Mann’s su:.,' v s harm
less, innocent creature j will do
no harm to arfy "living thing, except
their natural food.
HOUSEKEEPING HINTS.
Never put a pax-ticle of soap about
your silver, if you would have it retain
its original lustre. . When it wants
polish, take a piece of soft leather
and whiting aud rub hard. The
proprietor of one of the oldqgt silver
establishment in the city of Philadel
phia, says that “housekeepers ruin
their silver by washing it in soap
suds, as it makes it look like pewtei*.
Stove lustre,' When mixed with
turpentine and applied in the usual
manner, is more glossy,' and
more durable than when mixed with
any other liquid. The turpentine
prevents rust,' and when put on an
old rusty stove, will make it look as
well as new. To extract ink from
cotton, silk and woolen goods,
saturate the spots with spirits of
turpentine, and let it remain several
hours ; then rub it between the
hands* It will crumble away, without
injuring either the color or the tex
ture of the aiticle.
A Kentuckian has a gander that
for the last two years has been mated
with a cow, and they seem deeply
attached to each other in the bonds
of social union. When thp cirw lies
down the gander sits beside and
when she moves alongin her feeding
be follows her closely.
The enterprising vagabond who is
organizing a brass band of twenty
women says that if they learn half as
many ‘airs’ as they can put on, the
experiment cannot fail to be a suc
cess.

DISEASES OF HOGS:
Thb ti'ailtef and Fanner gives
these receipts for tfee ti-featmelit bf
cholera, mange, and worms in hogs:
“There are but three diseases requir
ing treatMeht; tvhlch are mhhgh:
cholera, and worm in the kidneys
commonly called breakihg down in
the lpins. Fok iiiange, wash well
with lye soap, ahd thbh pol liquor.
For cholera, if you know the disease,
as soon as you see the hog begin to
dtdojj and tJ:y lo vorliit; giighiftd, alid
give hini twehty grains of calomel
made iiitd a pill. If you have been
in the habit of giving your hogs
spirits of turpentine, at the rate of
one tablespobiifiil to the hog: put it
pn born; and you will be rarely trou
bled with this.fatal disease.
If the first dose of calofhel does
not reheve in twenty-four hours,
repeat tne dose. I rarely have to
repeat it if administered in time.
We sometimes see. hogs dragging
their hifid legs; . This is catised by
worms in the kidney; and may be
easily cured by giving a tablespooiifal
of turpentine every fllarhing tor
three or four days mixed with corfi
# bgs which have been feeding on

Alabama Coal on the Gulf. —La-t
night, says the Montgomery Adver
tiser, fifteen cars loaded with Alaba
ma coal passed through this city from
the mines for New .Orleans. This,
we learn, is but the beginiug of what
is destined to bp a large and profita
ble business. Heretofore the city of
New Orleans has been supplied with
Pennsylvania co&l brought on barges
from Pittsburg. Since our mines can
compete with those of Pennsylvania
in price, and can give.better satisfac
tion as to quality, it is brobable that
many dealers who have heretofore
ignored the home product will now
make contracts with Alabama miners,
and for the remainder of the summer
the cars of the Montgomery and
Mobile road will be employed more
or less iq carrying coal to the Gulf
cities. In time the Mexican Gulf
fleet will use Alabama coal exclusively
and large shipments to foreign coun
tries witbin the next few months is
among the strong probabilities.
