Registered letters. At the request of tlie Post Master, and for the information of our business men, we publish the following Instructions to Post Masters and Nolice to the Public, for carrying into effect the 3d section of the Act of March 3d, 1855, providing for the Regisiration of valuable letters, to take effect on the 1st of July. Sec. 1. Letters, alleged to be valuable, posted at one Post office in the United States, and deliverable at another such office, shall from and after the first day of July, 1855, be registered at the office of mailing, on the application of the person posting the same, and the payment of a registration fee of five cents. .2. Postmasters are instructed to enter all such letters in a book to be prepared and kept for the purpose, to be called the Receipt Book, (which, in small offices, will be prepared by stitching together the several sheets of blank receipts furnished by this Department,) containing blank receipts with a wide margin for a brief duplicate of each, as in Bank check books. The Postmaster will enter in this margin the number of the receipt, the date of filling it, the name of the person to whom the letter is addressed, and of the place to which it is to be mailed. He will then fill up the receipt to correspond with this marginal entry, separate it from the margin, and deliver it to the person who deposited the letter. 3. Registered Letters will not be entered in the ordinary accounts of mails received and sent, but separate accounts of such letters will be kept at each Post Office, to be called account of registered letters received and account of registered letters sent, blanks for which will be furnished by the Department. 4. When a letter has been received, registered, and receipted for, as directed in section 2, the Postmaster will enter its number, the date of mailing, the rate of postage, the name of the person to whom it is addressed, and of the office (whether of distribution or delivery) to which it is to be sent, in his account of registered letters sent. He will make a separate letter bill for each registered letter or parcel of registered letters for the same office of delivery or distribution, entering therein the number, address, registration fee, and rate of postage of each. He will then mail each such letter or parcel of letters, in a separate package from his unregistered letters, and will SEAL each package, after tying it in the usual manner. The letter bills of such registered letters will not be enclosed in the packages with them, but such letter bills will be enclosed in a separate wrapper or envelope, sealed Ami addressed to the Postmaster, at the office to which the corresponding package of registered letters is sent. To prevent delay in the examination and comparison of letter bills, the Postmaster at each of the larger offices will assign to some confidential clerk (not employed in opening the mails) the duty of opening in his absence official letters addressed to him. 5. In all large offices, where letters are received, entered and mailed by different persons, it shall be the duly of the Postmaster either to keep the Receipt Book provided for in section 1, or to designate some one specially for that service. The Postmaster, or receiving clerk, having received a letter for registry, will pass it to the clerk who keeps the account of registered letters sent, who will receipt for it by writing his name or initials across its marginal entry in the receipt book. He will enter it in his account of registered letters sent, and keep it in a secure place of deposile tfntil Uit hour of mailing. He will then make up his letter bill of registered letters, which is to be forwarded in a separate sealed wrapper or envelope, as provided in section 4, addressed to the. Postmaster at the office to which the corresponding package of registered letters is to be

sent. It shall alsa be his duty to make up each package of registered letters, seal the package with wax at the tie, address it to the office of its destination, and see that it is placed in its appropriate bag at the moment when that bag is to be finally locked and sent from the office. ,6. On the receipt at a distributing office, of registered letters for distribution, the clerk who opens and distributes the mail, will apply to the Postmaster, or to such one of his assistants as may be authorized to open official letters addressed to him, for the corresponding letter bill. Having compared the letters with the bill, he will indorse it "correct" if he find it so, or will note the error if there be one, and will pass it with the letters to the clerk who keeps the account of registered letters received for distribution, who will enter its contents in his account and indorse upon it his signature or initials. He will then fill up the corresponding return bill, noting upon it whether correct or otherwise, and will pass it to the Postmaster or his principal assistant, who will see that it is returned by the first mail thereafter with his indorsement, to the office of mailing. Registered letters remailed at a distributing office for their respective offices of delivery, are to be passed from the charge of the clerk who keeps the account of registered letters received, into the charge of the clerk who keeps the account of registered letters sent (if two are cmployed in these duties) who will receipt for them by indorsing the original letter bill, and afterward dispose of them in the same manner as is provided in section 5 for letters originally mailed at the office. 7. On the receipt of registered letters at the office of delivery, if it be a large one, the clerk who opens the mail will apply for the post-bill, and otherwise proceed in the same manner as prescribed in section 6. The clerk who keeps the account of registered letters received,, will, on receiving the letter-bill enter its contents in his account, make a duplicate thereof on the blank return bill which accompanies it, and having indorsed thereon the word "correct," if it be so, or noted the error if there be one, he will pass it to the Postmaster or his principal assistant, who will inclose it in a sealed envelope and mail it direct by first mail to the address of the Post master from whose office the bill was received. 8. On the receipt of registered letters at smaller offices of delivery, the Postmaster or his assistant will compare such letters with their letter bill, make a duplicate upon the blank return bill annexed, and will then mark the return bill correct, or note upon it any error found in the original bill, and inclose it in a sealed wrapper or envelope, and mail it direct by first mail to the address of the Postmaster at whose office it was originally mailed. 9. When the duplicate letter bill of any registered letter or letters is returned from the office of distribution or delivery to the office where it was originally mailed, the fact shall in each case be noted by a check mark on the margin of the account of registered letters sent, opposite the original entry; and if it be not duly returned, the failure shall in like manner be noted by a different check mark, and such failure shall in all large offices be immediately reported by the clerk who keeps the account 'of registered letters sent to the Postmaster or his principal assistant, and each Postmaster will give immediate notice

to the chief clerk of this Department of every such failure noted in his office. If upon the receipt of any duplicate or return letter bill it be found on examination that ft letter originally mailed with it ir missing, or that any important error or discrepancy is indorsed on it, the fact will be duly noted on the account of registered letters sent, and immediately reported to the chief clerk of this department, and if the discrepancy implies a robbery of the mail, or if a money letter or package of considerable value is found to be miss.ing, such report will be made by telegraph if possible. It will also be the duty of the Postmaster to report by telegraph any "mail robbery of which he may otherwise receive early information. 10. On the delivery of a registered letter at the office of its destination, a receipt therefor will be taken from the person authorized to receive it, and such receipt will be carefully filed and preserved at that office. The blank receipts furnished by this department can be used for this purpose, but Postmasters may adopt any other certain method of veri

fying the delivery of registered letters. 11. Letters for Germany by the Bremen line via New York and Boston, will be registered in the same manner and on the same terras as those deliverable in the United States, but the postage on such letters must be prepaid to the place of their destination. Prepaid letters from Bremen, and those received by the Prussian closed mails, (if accompanied with letter bills similar to those prescribed for the use of this Department,) will be duly registered at the American office of distribution or delivery at which they are first received, and will thereafter be treated in all respects in the same manner as letters originally mailed in the United slates. 12. Each Postmaster will see that his accounts of registered letters are legibly and accurately kept; and at the end of each quarter he will forward with his quarterly returns full and perfect transcripts of such accounts with the letter-bills pertaining to them, retaining the original accounts in his office for reference.

We understand there is an attempt now being made to get up an excursion to Lake Superior on one of the magnificent boats which ran last summer between Sandusky and Buffalo. These are among the finest boats which have ever floated on Lako Erie, and we believe none of their class has eVer been used on such an excursion. It is proposed to make the entire circuit of Lake Superior, stopping at all points of interest, and giving as much time for exploring the mines, for fishing, &c, fec, as the company may desire. Several weeks will be devoted to the excursion, and every arrangement will be made that will contribute to the pleasure of the excursionists, or add to the interest of the excursion. Accommodation will be provided for about two hundred and fifty persons The excursion is not absolutely determined on, we believe; but it will start early in July, if the requisite number of excursionists is made up. Those who are desirous to go, can get any information in relation to it which they wish by applying to the Directors of the Dayton and Hamilton Railroad. Cincinnati Gazette. The Reservoir Repaired. The Evansville Journal of Friday says: Mr. Ingle arrived by the cars last evening from Terre Haute. He reports all quiet at the Reservoir, and not much prospect for a fight. A report came to Terre Haute day before yesterday that a force of the enemy had organized in Clay county to the number of three hundred, and were ready fur action. A reliable man was sent to that county, and after thorough investigation, brought back word, that there was no foundation 'whatsoever for the report the people were all attending to their own business. The aqueduct has been repaired, water let on it, and a watch set to guard it. Water was coming in fast yesterday, and the canal will soon be in good order. A guard had also been stationed at one or two other points, and the main body of men taken to the Reservoir, where the work of repairing it will speedily be accomplished. Some of the volunteers will probably be home to-morrow. It is expected a force will have to be kept at the Reservoir some little time. We received no letter last evening. Railroad Accident. A distressing accident occurred at Madison on yesterday morning, which resulted in the death of two of the employees of the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad Company. We learn the particulars were nearly as follows: The heavy engine, Indiana, took a train of freight cars down the plane early in the morning, and was standing upon the track near the river. The engine JNO. 14, after giving time for the Indiana to get out of the way, also started down the plane, without any cars attached, having on board Samuel Idler, Engineer Thomas Bizette, Fireman, and E. J. Robinson, a Clerk of the Company. The track being wet, the wheels slipped, and were soon beyond the control of the brakes. The engine went down the plane with fearful velocity, and when within a hundred yards of the Indiana the engineer and fireman leaped to the ground. The engineer struck against a switchsignal and was instantly killed ; the fireman struck the ground, and died immediately. ' Mr. Robinson clung to the engine, and was awfully bruised, but was living when Mr. John Mancourt, the Conductor, left Madison. The engines and freight cars were battered to pieces by the concussion. All the sufferers leave families, who deeply deserve the sympathies of the public, and who will not fail to be remembered by the officers of the Company. Journal. Remarkable Balloon Ascension Three Hundred and Fifty Miles Traveled in Four Hours. Wm. D. Bannistle, of Adrian City, Michigan, ascended on Friday afternoon in a balloon, from that place at half past 10 o'clock in the morning, and descended in Clarion county, Pennsylvania, at half past two o'clock in the afternoon, making the computed distance of three hundred and fifty miles in the extraordinary short time of four hours. This is his second trip, and an experimental one with a balloon of unusually large size. It is thirty feet m diameter, contains over six hundred yards of silk, and is capable of holding nineteen thousand cubic feet of gas. After his ascent to the distance of three miles and a half, the sennaut struck the eastern current of air, which, he says, is continually blowing in the one direction. It carried him south of the lakes, through Central Ohio. His intention was not to descend until dark, as he was above the rain clouds in a clear upper sky, but the excessive cold to which he was exposed brought on the accustomed drowsy sensation, which prevented him from properly managing his balloon. He was in that sleepy state when his "craft" anchored in a tree in Red Bank, having descended in consequence of the evaporation of the gas. The cold was so severe that his feet were completely frozen.

Through to St. Louis in One Day! It is certain thai by the Fourth of July the Western Division of the Ohio it Mississippi Railroad will be finished, and then arrangement will be made at once, by which St. Louis may be reached from this city within one day, the running time being about eighteen hours. Passengers will leave the Depot of the O. & M. R. R. in this city, by an early train, and go direct to Indianapolis, thence to Terre Haute, thence to Vinccnnes, and thence directly to St Louis, going through during these long days by daylight, (almost.) A little more than a year airo it was a great feat to go through

to Louisville by da) light, and St. Louis was prac- j tieallv more distant than New York. Now St. Louis is, as the world counts it, quite as near us as Louisville was a year ago, aud within easy reach as Cleveland. These are facts full of meaning, and we might hang a column of reflections in our best rhetoric upon them, but will leave them in their naked massive grandeur. We will have no more of going by way of Chicago to get to St. Louis. That Cincinntans are said to have done so, is one. of the incredibilities of the past. Cin. Commercial. Protestant Episcopal and Methodist Episcopal. The Protestant Churchman gives the following contrast : "According to the last census, the number of Methodist Churches in the United States is 13,338; the value in Church property $14,836,148; and the amount of accommodations, 4,354,101; the number of Episcopal Churches, 1,461; the value of the Church property, 811,384,210, and the Church accommodation 647,528. Thus it appears that while the Methodist have nearly twelve thousand more Church buildings, their ni-onortv exceeds onlv by tiirue and a half mill ions. Deducting say two millions for Episcopal 1. "I.I" . Church property, not represented in ounuings, the average cost of our churohes is nearly $7,000 apiece, and that of the Methodist edifices a little over 81.000 each. While ours cost seven times more, they have nine times as many, and seat seven times the number." "TCrAl a meeting of the Board of Township Trustees, on Suturdav, the 3d of June, 1855, It was ordered that the Clerk publish lu the Locomotive newspaper, the regular meetings of the Board; therefore, all persons who have business with the Township Trustees are notified tkat they hold regular meetings every Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock P. M., at the Township Library Room, In the Court House, up stalls, east room. The Library Is also kept open ovory Saturday. Je3l-3w C. N. BUKGES, Clerk and Librarian.

' rfHIS INVENTION commends itself to the attention of Jg housekeepers and others, on account of its great simplicity, and the effectual manner in which it accomplishes a very desirable and useful object of preserving all kinds of veeeta'bles aud fruit from fermentation. The mouth of the ranis constructed with a metalic valve composed of w hite metal that will not corroue; tne vaive seat is attached to the can by soldering them on the inside of the top, thereby throwing the cut edge of the tiu on the outside, so there will be no metal exposed to the action of the acid in the fruit that can oxydize or corrode. The process of sealing Is sosiniple and perfect that a child ton years of ago, after witnessing the operation once, can fulfill it. By this simple process of hermetlcal sealing is placed within the reach of every individual. Fruit and vegetables may be kept with their natural flavor for an indefinite length of time. These cans have been thorouirhlv tented durinc the summer, fall aud winter, und their contents, alter tho lapse of limning, nave oeen iouiju iresn ana aencious, such as. reaches, Strawberries, Tomatoes, and Greeu Corn. Method of Preserving Fresh Fruit, and Vegetables A great deal of mystery has been made of this simple matter, and HiB generally supposed that the preservation of fruits and veeretableSt in a fresh stute, depends upon some process known oely to the initiated. The simple agent tn the work of preservation is beat, if after the application of heat for a certain time, the article be sealed up hermetically, it will remain unchanged for an almost indefinite period. This affords the quickest, simplest and most perfect plan for hermeticul sealing ever presented to the public. Advantages over the Ordinary Fruit Can 1st. It can be securely sealed by any person In a half minute, without the aid of a tinner. 2d. It may be opened as eary ai it was sealed, and without 1 injury w ineean. or unseating, it will lust anv economical family for twenty years, and is therefore far more economical than the ordinary can, used for the same purpose even though the latter may be a trine tower in price. 4th. These cans arB provided ' with an eliptio raised top, therefore mors easily emptied than the fiat top can.

For all ripe fruits, such as Peaches, Strawberries, Raspberries, Grapes, Cherries, Plumbs, &C, it is only necessary to fill a common steamer with either of the above fruits, and set it over a pot of boiling water, place the lid on the steamer, let it remain until the whole mass becomes saturated with heat, up to a boiling point that can be easily ascertained; for the steam after passing through the fruit, would be too hot for the naked hand. Any ol the above fruits heated to that temperature, loses none of its original sweetness or flavor, when the above arrangements are fulfilled. Fill your cans one at a time, place in the valve or mouth piece, take a stick of common bottle sealing wax, melt it in a ladle, or hold it in contact with a piece of hot iron, fill tho groove or channel of the valve with the meltdd wax, when the groove is thoroughly filled, pour a cup of cold water on the top of the can, that condenses the steam that generates from the heated matter in the can, aftd therefore a vacuum is produced. Every can can be thoroughly tested after sealing, by plunging it into cold water until it becomes cool; if there be any imperfections in the can, hold it to the ear, and you can hear the air forcing itself in.
