A New Misrrat.—We leara from Cosmos
that a new minerul bas been discovered at Oravieza, in the Banat, to which M. Vacherouk
hay given the namo “Alloclaso.” The aiincral
is composed of eulphur, arsenic, bismuth and
cobalt, in the mode expressed in the formala
Co® As§ $? . in which it is supposed thut one.
fourth of arseaic may be repinced by on equal
qaaatity of bismuth. It forms rhombohedric
crystals of a copperish-gray color, fouad in culcite, and necottpanied with aciculur arsenical
pyrites. Breithuapt has confounded allucluse
witb gluncodote.
Fanuixa Orr in tig Gin Yterp.—It is
stated by the Pittsburg Oi News that the
yiald of off has fallen off ovaily one half in
Pennsylvania since the first of January last.
The cause is chiefly attributed to the excessive
tax on crude oil, which eflectaully shuts off ott
but the most abundantly paying wells. ‘The
proposed new tax luw, now under consideration
in Congress, abolishes this tax entirely, as it
ehould do.

Raisracu ww Cattronsta,— The Nevada
(Cul) Gazetle chronicles the rainfall at tbat
city during tbe past seasoa, which it states to
have aggregated fifty-six and eleven-hundredths
inches. At Grass Vulley it was a little less,
and at Sacramento it was only 4 little over
sixteen inches. At Sacrainento there is geuerully less ruin than in any other section of
Northern Culifornia, while by far the greatest
full occurs in the Sierra Nevada.
Searine Patents.—A statoment is going
the rounds of tho press to the effect that the
quantity of sealing wax aow required for one
year's consumption in Hngtand, for seating
patents for inventions, is upwards of a ton and
two hundred weight, In Englund it is custo.
mary to load a patent with a seal weighing
from a half pound to a pound, and if this liberal
allowance of wax was made in our Putent
Office at Washington, our business fur the year
1866 would scarcely be done.witb less tbaa
five toas of sealing wax.

Tin Ore 1x Maine.—A company of Eastern
capitalists, known as the National Tin Mining
Company, with their office at No. 64 Broadway, N.Y. bas beea orgavized to work a tia
tmiae ia Oxlord county, Maine.
Qurry.—Some oae inquires through the
Pittsburg Oil News whether apy one has ever
found oil flowing from a well which yields fresh
water. It bas been stated that there is no instaace known of fresh water coming up witb
oil. How is it?
Leap aad zinc veins have been traced
through several counties ia ‘lennessee. One
yem from Elizabethton, in Carter county,
through New Market Valley, and into Aaderson county, and coutinuing to Blount county,
Powell’s Vulley. Lead and zine are associated
together, und are found embodied in limestone
