The Alining and Scientific Press, American Mixixo Stepests in Evrore. It is said thnt there are now, or wero before tbe commencement of the present Huropean war, thirty fice American stndenta at the celebrated scbool of mines in Freiburg—more than athird of the whole nomber in attendunce. About half this onmber are said to be hardworking und studious young mou, who appreciate our need of intelligent mining ongiveers and who are determined to do what they. can to worthily fill that want. One-quarter of tbe whole nnmber are taking life easily, while the other half appear to be profiting but little, if anything, from the advantages placed before them. A college at home is bad enongh ; but an institittion of that kind abroad, and ina community where little nioral restraint is (hrown around the young wien, there iz no limit to the recklessness which may be iadulged in by those who huve plenty of money and but little selfrestraint. We quote the above from a correspondent of tbe: Chicago Tribune, who bas recently visited Freiburg. Otp Mixes Re-Discoverrn.—In Brazil, it the town of Rio Grand do Sul, old silver mjnes worked by the Jesuits have been re-discovered, There are said to be in the Southern part of California, also, silver mines of the greatest richness, which were worked before the formation of the Mexican Republic with great results, all traces of which were’ carefully concesled when the priests, who had taken the profits of them were coinpelled to leave the country, The Indiuns were put under oaths, with fearful penalties, not to disclose the location of. them. —s A Harvestino Macnixe.—Tbe Contra Costa Gazette speaks well of a new harvesting machine, recently invented by Mr. Dulton, of Pacheco, and designed for reaping, thrashing and sackiag the grain at one operation. ‘Ibe machine will run with three men and ten horses ; and, adds the Gazette, thougk some minor difficulties may be looked for on first trial, they cannot prove so serious as to buffle the resources and determination of the javentor, who bus set out with the purpose of surpassing any machine yet applied to the entire process of harvesting grain. A Borixo Macpine.—Edward Duffy, a mechanic of this city, has invented a machine for ptanufacturing inner and outer window blinds, which bores 460 holes in a mioute, and does it better than the same work can he done by hand. He has applied for a putent for -hia tnvention. Unprrorounp Rivers.—Uhere are said to be underground creeks in the limestone regions of Georgia with currents of sufficient velocity to curry a mill. There isa Government tannery, the bark mill of which is driven by one of tbese subterrunean streams, = Tus latest Chicago swindling enterprise is. a gold mining company of five bundred thousand shares, at one dollur per share. ‘Tbe territoryto be worked te alleged to be somewbere in Westeru Kansas.

Mauy machines have heen tricd, and many abandoned; all of which have been unable, so far, to attain a profitable reparation, and meet tlie requirement of tho mining interest, so well as that now Putented™ by Mr. Hungerford, which is on Improvement on the well known Hungertord & Prater Conceatrutor, wilh which bis nume ig already so familiar.
