COVINGTON.

During the past week the "Punch and Judy" show was the excitement, but yesterday Peter Nodler caught the popular breeze by spending a few hours in driving ten-penny nails through an inch and a half pink plank, using a glass coal oil lamp chimney as a hammer. The chimney was from the works of the Hemingray Glass Company, of this city, and made by the receipt of the discoverer of this novel science. Glassware that can be thumped and hammered, and flung about the house like a tin-cup, without danger of breakage, is certainly a novelty that claims attention.
