RESIDENT DENTIST,
R ESPECTFULLY informs his friends, and
the public generally, that lie continues
the practicoofDEji'TJSTRYin allltsbrauoh-
os, and has fitted up an office, over the store
of McGuiro.A riuson, where he is prepared
to cxocuto nil operations nppertninlngtp Den
tistry, in the most approved manner.
Ho would also call tho particular Attention
of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su
perior stylo of tooth, sot on gold plate; for
beauty, strength nnd life-like appeacanco,
they are not surpassed. As an impression has
been inode, tyat juy prices for dental opera
tions afo higher than tho usual run of Den
tists, I beg Icaveto say. that they are the same
as charged by Dentists at Angnsto, Maoon
and Savannah. For Artificial Work’my char
ges aro as follows:
Entire Sots Upper nnd Lower IVftmllflftttf $25t
Half Beta, Dj>J?er or Lower, from 60 to 150
Temporary Sets, Upper ana I,ewer, 25 each.
Partial Sato li) proportion fo the aljovo. ,.
As I am well posted In all tho late ildptevo-
monts of the day, I feel confident that' f Ann
meet the wants of all who may need tWb.ser-
vlces of a Dentist, and if references an want
ed; as to thsir utility in answering tho purpo
ses of nature, I can giro them in abundance,
from those who havo tested my skill, for tho

NtwExrt.osivx SunsTAMCB.—Xf, Ikett-
goV, an eminent derMah chemist, haw
just discovered a curious property ‘of
carburctted iiydrogen or illuminfiting
gas, viz: that being brought in contact
with certain saline solutions, and espe
cially with nitrate of Silver, it will, by
ohetnibal conibinatioiis, form subfitah-
ces of a highly explofiive nature. A.
few particles of that obtained ^ with • ni
trate of silver Will, when subjected to
friction explode With ns much viblence
as the fulminate of mercury. Whfen
copper gas-pipes were used a crust wa*
formed on the inner surface of the pipe
which, if (struck Witli a !^nttm^ei• bn the
anvil woilld explode, producing lumi
nous spark!), and if touched with n red-
hot iron Woiildgo off like gunpowder,
ThO tehipcratute nbcefsary to make it
detonate Was about 200 degrees- centi
grade, (392 Faliri) Tills substance
seems to have beeh of the samo nature
as that discovered by M. Boettger, and
which he describes os being a oombiha-
tion df copper with carburetted hydro
gen, the iatter acting therein the same
part as cyandgeii ih other well known
fulminates. Gas pipes are never made
of copper now, and neither ifdn Hot
lead is liable to prdduco ahy fulminat
