A WEW YORK LADY IW A MASSACHUSETTS PRISON FOR O:BT, {from the Boston Ieratd, Feb. 14.] A case Which we believe 1s without precedent tn the hisvory of Suifolk County, behing the imprison- ment of @ woman for debt, has just come to our no- tice. A year or more ago a lady named Bosworth, who kept a boarding house in New York, had a lady boarder named Chamberlin, who became tndebied to her lor board to the extent of seventy-tive dollars. ‘The latter went away frou the boarding Louse, leav- ing her trunk and some goods therein con- tuned, which Mra. Bosworsh afterwards refused to deliver until she had received tie seventy-tve doi- jars which was her due. The Chamberiain woman came to Boston and in August, 186%, Mrs. Bosworth also visited this city witu a view of collecting her debt. The Chamber- Jam party, however, iusiead of paying her debi, aucd ous a@ Writ in tort against Mra. bosworth for illegally converting her trunk and contents, on which she Placed the value of $300, Upon this Mrs, Bosworit was urtesied and released upon giving bonds in the amount of $300, the alleged value of the trunk, This writ being 1 the Municipal Court end she aot appearing to defend herself she was detaulted and jJougment aud execution followed, Still not vemg forced the writ was returned to court. ‘The boudsmen of the Bosworth woman were then sued, and one of them went to New York and repre- senting to her that it she wouid surrender the trun she would be relieved from furcher trouble, she gave it up aud it was bronght to Boston by express. Tais, for some reason, did not end matvers. Yesterday oue of her bondsmen went to New York, and, representing to Mrs. Bosworth that tue case woult receive final gsettiement if she wouid vome to Boston end sign certain papers, she accompaaicd him to this city, and upon arrival she was unex- peciediy lodged in the Oambridge street jail, Sho waa in great tribulation thereat, representing that ehe had been decetved, that by detention ber bust- ness interesis in New York would greatly saifer, and offering to do anything Wiich wouid ssusly the demands of her persecutors. ‘The case being one which excited the sympathy of Suertit Claré he has instituted an effort looking to her discharge.

This belt 13 drawa over two drums, one of which ts iroa, and the other, I think, is wood. These drums make about fity revolutions per minute. Standing in front of and below the belt and placing the extended flogers within six inches of it, the expertmehter will observe a multitude of white rays, which start from the belt and project themselved tn the direction of the fingers, For the first three inches the rays form @ aheet of white light, its base extending across the band. It then breaks up into pencils of rays, euch pencil converging to @ delicately fine point. ihe points of the white rays approxunate at tue tips of the fingers, but never touch them.
