Lot No 4 has a fri nt on L street, of 50 feet, and will be subdivided to suit purchasers. on a fy Auction —On FRIDAY, the 29th June 1255, 1 of fled for record 12th February, 1855, all that piece or parcel of ground, in the chy in the District of Columbia, Known erty fronts on 6th street the mixture of which, it is natural that a hard and compact composition would be formed, although the articles them- selves do not vary from the common ar- ticles of commerce; but in their admix- ture they undergo several chemical changes, which entirely overthrow their single tendencies, and form the substance such as I hold before me. Blood contains a large amount of pot- ash, which seizes hold of the sand and renders it soluble, and it is to this silicite of potash formed that the stone becomes of its apparent quality. It hes a strange power when it mects with the albumen, which is one of the constituents of the blood; but if the albumen of b'ood meets with the silicite of potash, a chemical process takes place, aid itis then not soluble from the action of water. But when it is diffuscd through the mass, as here, the chemical change is slow. The albumen is divided into infinitesitnal pro- portions, and if it be caught in the me- chanical yosition, anc there becomes coagulated, it forms a kind of binding matter between these parts, and if these patts be not soluble (in which state we already have shown then to be) you have all the requisitions of stone, for you will find a hardness and strength, as in the proportion of the escape of all gases by time, and a more perfect fragment grows by age. Tn the blood, also, you have a quantity of Iron, which, diffused throughout the mass, forms an additional strengthening component, as it is the better mixed into the substance. He went on to explain that time would add to the quality of the article, although too carly exposure was not advan us to it—he would recommend that it be laid aside at least for a few days, and be coated with an insoluble condiment of depot at Cincinnati, just as the train was preparing to start. There was a great crowd, as usual, in the building, and all at once a man, who had put bis hand in his undercoat pocket behind to take out his pocketbook to pay his fare, exclaimed, hus face glowing with excitement: «I've been robbed! Ther® are thieves about here! Some villsin has taken my pocketbook with over a thousand dollars in it!” “Where did you carry your pocket- book, sir?” sacar my undercoat pocket, sir, be: “Then, sir, you can scarcely blame the individual who has taken it,” replied the other, in a very pompous, self-satis- fied, patronising manner, and in “‘a yoice of warning,” intended for the cars of al! the bystanders. * Yes, sir, you offer, if I may say so, a temptation, a premium, sir, upon theft by carrying money in such a place. Now, sir, I always carry my money here,” he continued, putting his hand into an inside breast pocket of his coat, “and there it is always” — “Safe,” he would have said; but he saddenty drew out bis band, as if he had-been bitten by an adder, exclaim- ing: ‘ “Why, my pocketbook is gone, too! Thieves! thieves! thieves! Let no one go out of the depot !” The adyice was acted upon, by doing which both were found upon the floor, where they bad bren dropped by the adroit thief, who then mingled in the large and promiscuovs crowd. The fault of both had been a lack of personal watchfulness in such a place. iach had “ practiced the same,” as the sage Dogberry says, they were both * in a case.”’—Rochester Democrat. ‘on, on TUESDAY the y of July, 18°5, at 6 o'clock p. m, on the e Whole of square No. 303, in the city nd to virtue of a deed of trust, daly recorded, scriber will sel! that valuable piece of sotne kind, which would protect the in- terior during the process of hardening.

Sap Scenzs 1n Camna.—A letter from Canton, under date of March 12th, says that the Rebels had been entirely rout- ed in the neighborhood of Canton, and that the main fight took place near Wham- poa. Many of the Rebel boats were cap- tured, also a large number of prisoners. The executions, for several days, aver- aged one hundred and fifty per day. On the 11th a party of foreigners witnessed the decapitation of one hundred and for- ty-seven, also the- cutting to pieces of three others, who were leading men among the Rebels. Towns which had been under the rule of the Insurgents were fast going over to the Imperialists, and trade was beginning to revive.

Repocrion or Fang on Tas Centran RarLzoap.—The Directors of the Central Reilroal, at their recent meeting at Buf- falo, adopted two important measures. They reduced the fare to $6 00 to Alba- ny and $7 50 to New York—a reduction of $1 50 to Albany, and $2 00 or $2 50 to New York. They also decided on a second class train, connecting at Buflalo with the boats arriving there in the morn- ing. On this train the fare to New York is to be $5 00; to Albany, $400. These arrangements are to go into effect ina few days, and cannot but prove accepta- ble‘to the wishes of the public.—N. Y.
