Printing in gold is done in one of two ways:— 1. The impression is taken in a mixture of varnish, burnt umber, and gold size. Upon this gold-leaf is laid and lightly pressed. When sufficiently dry, the superfluous gold is rubbed, leaving the gilded letters. Bronze-powder is used for inferior printing. 2. Whittaker's method. The stereotype-plate is placed on a hot metal block on the bed of the press. The gold-leaf is laid on the face of the metallic page. The paper or vellum is placed on the tympan, having been previously sifted over with dried glair of egg and resin. The tympan is turned down and the pressure maintained a little longer than usual. 2.

luding 200 wagons, a very large amount of stores, government buildings and engines. On January 11, 1865, General Rosser made another brilliant stroke at Beverly. With 300 mounted men he rode into the Federal fortified camp, where no visitors were expected on account of the inclement weather, and in the fight which ensued 6 of the enemy were killed and 33 wounded. The remainder of the garrison, 580 men, were captured, with all their arms, ammunition and supplies. On February 5th, Colonel Whittaker, First Connecticut cavalry, succeeded in surprising the famous partisan leader, Major Gilmor, in bed, and hastily carried him to Winchester; and on February 22d Lieut. Jesse C. Mc-Neill, with 25 men, entered the fortified town of Cumberland, Md., and taking Generals Crook and Kelley out of bed, brought them safely into Virginia.

Shocking case of Burning. --A Mrs. Whittaker, residing on Main street, between 22d and 23d, was terribly burned yesterday afternoon, by the ignition of her clothing. It appears that the poor woman was somewhat addicted to habits of dissipation, and her husband, on leaving home yesterday, locked her up in her room. About 2 o'clock, some boys in the vicinity heard her scream for help, and gave the alarm, when Mr. Wm. H. Smith burst the door open, and found her lying under a table with her clothes in flames. Her injuries were very severe, and everything possible was done to alleviate her sufferings; but it was supposed she could not long survive. It is presumed that her garments caught from the fire place, and her situation was such that she could not extinguish the flames.
