This is oue of the novelties us well as one of tho
most attractive objects of the exhibition, Numer:
ons contrivances Inve heen devised for preparing a
dental chair in whieh the patient can be readily
pluced in various positions ut ouce comforttble for
himself and couvenicut for tho operntor. The bull
und socket joiut has heretofore been generally relied upon to poe the movements uecessary to
be accomplished iu obtaining the end desired. The
inventor of this chair, however, hits adopted an ontirely new eompliention of devices, which places
the patient much moro fully under the control of
the operator, atlording both u wider rnnge of movetneut and requiring the outlay of less power in ohtaining tho sume, than any other dental ehair hitherto devised. The body of the chair rests upou nn
iron pedestal, which is shown in connection with
tho completed chair, aud which hy the operation of
levers, cog-whivels and crank, all placed within the
convenient reach of the operator, can he mude to
ineling the chair backwards und sideways, to aud
from the operntor to an augle of forty-five decrees.
The foot-board and Nead-rest and seat of the chair
are cach arrunved so that they can beudjusted to suit
the stature and convenience of tho patient, whilo
the whole chairis arranged with anu nir and finish for comfort which alnost takes away the iden of
paiu, in convection with its occupancy. Au elegant
aud conveniently placed spittoon is attached to the
chair, with whieh is counceted an mnalgamstor for
snving any picces of gold which may be expectorated by the patient while undergoing the varions
operatious connceted with tooth-pulling or filling.
The chairs on exhibition are of California make as
well as invention, and present as elegant specimens
of werkiaanship, whether in the wood work, or upholstery, as ure often met with noywhere. We understund that a number of orders for their maunfacture have ulready been recevied, und that measures are being tukeu to introduce them into Europe.

Quartz Crushers, different cizes,
Tbis quartz crusher, a model size of which is sxhibited, has proven itself a most efficient machine
for crushing rock. It combines strength with compactness, nnd offers the greatest facility for adjustment so as to reduce tlie ore or rock to the desired
degree of fineness. It is egpecinlly aduptedfor reducing tbe low class of copper ores for conceutrating,
for breakiug rock for road-making, and fer reducing
quartz to the degree of fineness required for sibsequent trituratiou in pans. Theadvantages which
it promises over stamps, grow out of the fact that
it crashes the quartz dry, which may bs subsequently ground to any degree of fineness in pans.

Ay Invatvante Reric—Mr. Scott Tidball,
the artist, has in his pesscssion, and will place ou
exhibition at the Fair, in a day or two, a camp
pocket-knife, once owned by Gen. Washington.
It is an ivory shaft, in the shape of a cannon,
about five inches in length and three-fourths of
an inch dinmeter at tite breach. Jt is bound
by three silver bands. The breack section unscrews and reveals two interior tubcs or barrels, containing knife blades. These are altemnately screwed into a small orifice at the
breach end, when used. he small end contains the die or impress of a seal, asd tho
esnter scctioa a perpetual almanac. The
knife was presented to Col. Wm. ‘Thornton, on
the eve of oac of Washingtoa’s great battles,
(Moamouth, Mr. Tidball thinks) in which the
Father of his Country was afraid the issues
might prove doubtful. ‘I'here can bo a0 question.of tho geauineness of the articlo, ns Mr.
‘I’. has ercdentials in his possession to substaatiate its authenticity.
Norrn Amentcan Lire Insurance Co.—A
man’s life ts“ of few days and full of trouble.”
This is the scriptaral admoaition, upoa which
we might without violeace presume the insnrance compaay above montioaed has heoa
foundsd. ‘Those who are engaged in hazardous
pursuits, and possess only modcrate, means
with a family dopending upoa them for support, cannot be too seasitively alive to the importance of taking out a policy of insnranco.
Should they loso thoir lives, something remains
for those who were objects of endearmeat to
lean upoa. To insure is a good thing, an excellent thing, and the North American Company is a respousible and liberal institution, as
we have nlready intimated, from which to receive a policy. :
Jaraxrse Conirction—Mr. 1. M. Van
Roed, recently from Japan, whers he resided
six years, and acquired a knowledge of the
Inugnago of that semi-barbarous race of varlets, has introduced into the Vavilion af the
Fair 2 collection of Jnpnneso articles, belouging to his own private cabinet, which le secured ouly after great lrouble and considerable
/ expeuse. Our limited space will not at this
timo udinit of n catalogne notice of the many
curions uticles composing his mmnseunt; but
we would call the especinl attention ol naturalists to 1 book contniiting the Jupunese zoology
jim nrt, and entomology in dotuil. The exuct. titade of the likenesses and the perfectuess of
the coloring, aro pronounced by competent
judges to be inimitable, even in Ihis country,
where art boasts its champions and maslers.
He exhibits a tortotse, cut from crystal, also a
lot of swords, fiaer iu the texture of their fabrication than tho celehrated Damascus blades,
and supposed to have been tho product of an
art now lost to the Japaneso themselves; a
thirteen-inch explosive shell, taken from one
of the forts at Shimonoseki; two suits of armor, composed of iron and bone; a closely
knit impovious chain coat of mail; and n large
number of other interesting articles of vurious
descriptions, aaiusing and otherwise, in the
study of which the ontiquary will find a world
of delight. The owver of tltis cabinet holds
it priceless in value, and wishes it to be understood that none of its curiosities are for snle.
Tt has been introduced merely as na addition of
attraction to the Fair.
Tur Arr Gatieny.—In the photographic
departinent of the Art Gallery tho display this
year is very finc, and the loeal photographs
pretty generally represented. But there is a
fulling off in the number of oil paintings.
Only three or four artists Itave entered the
-field of coaipetition. Why this is so, we can
Bot, say. It is much to be regretted, however ;
for no feature of the Exhibition, aside from
late and useful inventioas, is more nttractive
to visitors. :
Mr. Speaker Colfax does not tuke his departure for the East until the steamer of the
3d of September. Tis specch to the ladies of
the New England Kitchen will probably be
deltvered to-morrow night, altltough there is
no certaiuty about it.
Livery Excagrurst-—The New England
Kitchen, at the Pavilion, is having a lively
run, to the eredit of the fair managers and tue
benefit of the Snilors’ Tlome fund. The receipts up to last night amounted to over $1,700.
Prooramme or tHE Kircnax.—The quilting
frolic will last every evening in the New lngland Kitcheu, until the quilt is completed, with
an interlude each evening of dancing, When
there is any change in the order it will be duly
aauouaced.
A Hoes Buast.—Recently, in the claims of
Aicrican Company, 0a Manzuaita Hill, near
North San Juan, a charge was put in consisting of three hundred and twenty-three kegs of
powder. Its effect was imureasc, blowing
down dirt enough to keep ths company washing for three weeks. During this time they
made two runs, cleaning up from the first rp
$10,000, and from the second $8,500.
Two Minrrs Kinira sy Foun Air.—The
Copperopolis Courier says that John Mitchell
aud Jeff Cranmer were killed by foul jr, in the
Snmson Tunnel, at Dry Crosk, near Vallecito,
on Wednesday last; aad several men who
went to the rescue amrrowly escaped the same
fate.
Srvrra discoveries of petroleum had been
made in New South Woales,and the snbject
was attracting the attention of Parliament
and the manufacturers. Hxperiaients were
making at Sydney with a view to establishing
a refinery.
Ayotuer Mammoru Y1rtp.—Mons. Ripert,
of the Eureka Compaay, Grass Valley, cleaned
up on Monday, 2,000 ounces of amulgam, the
result of 2 few days’ crushing, The -battsries
of the mill were untouched.
Gur Cireulation.—Tne Minine axp Scimntiric Press
hasa largo and periumment subscription list, and enjoys a
more wiiversal circulation among stockholders nud persons directly intorested in mining than any other puper ca
*his comst.
