Vare jOue plete play, 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.

Hanscom, San Francisco: two Hanscomn’s 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. 193 Brown & Wells,San francisco: ono Newell Post aud speclincn of Rail an 1 Ballisters.

[Continued on 4th Page.) 222 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. ’
