How will it affect the states Virgins
and Maryland {
Will IL be an evil to Virginia to re-
ccive back her own sons, the moral the
hious, and industrious inhabitants of the
town and county of Alexandria, amount

Maryland object to receiving the county

Each would still have the benefit of their
laws as they have been improved since
their separation and its return would be
like that of a favorite child to fond mo-
Their, whom he did not expect ever TO

1t cannot be believed, therefore, that
Virginia or Maryland would object to
the measure. Certainly, additional ia.
Tents, wealth, and numbers, must in
crease the knowledge and power of each,
and give TO each more strength at home,
and greater influence in the national
councils. Any additional expenditure
rendered necessary by the change, would
be betrayed by the respective states out

perhaps greater than they would be, re-
lieved from by the diminution of ex.
pense to the u. s. for the same purpose.
Tits plain that no evil can result to
Virginia and Maryland from such a re-
PROCESSION therefore, there can be no
reasonable motive for either state to op.
pose Just and equitable measure.
1t remains, then, to inquire what pos
sible evil can result to the district of Co.
lumbia or tho inhabitants thereof from
this measure. This being the most i'm.
Portant branch of the subject will be
next examined. yALERlUS.

that mice arc young rats, and the reply o:

"The FIRST tool used is an auger the
shell part which forms the hole or bore
in the earth or strata through which j,
passes, Is mostly from 81 TO 8 inches in
diameter; the hollow part OF it being
about l foot 4 inches in length, and con.
structed nearly in the form of carmen.
ter's common augers The rod parts are
formed in separate pieces, of 4 feet long
each, which screw into one another by
means OF what is usually called a male
and female screw, to any suitable length,
one after another, as the depth ofthe hole
or bore may require. The size of the
stem above the auger part is about an
inch square, except at the joints, where,
for the sske of strength, they are quar-
ter Of an inch more. There are also a
chisel and punch for serewing on, in go.
ing through hard gravel or metallic sub.
stances, in order to expedite the passage
OF the anger, which could not otherwise
perforste such hard bodies. The punch
is often used when the auger is not ap-
plied,to pierce or open the sand or gravel,
and give more easy issue or discharge
to the water. The chissel is an inch and
half or two inches broad at the point,
and made very sharp for cutting stone,
and the punch an inch square like the
other part Of the rods, with sharp point
also. There is a shifting handle Of wood
which is fastened with two iron wedges
affixed to it, for the purpose Of turning
round the rods in boring, and also two
iron keys for screwing and unscrewing
the rods, and for assisting the handle
when the soil is very stiff, more than two
men being required to turn the tool !;
sometimes wibdlass is used. The man,

necessary. Two stand Old a stage, erect

MISCELLANY.
THE TWO PARROTS.

Two sisters, one Of whom lived at Ro.
therhithe and the other at Chelsea, had a
present sent them from abroad, of two
very fine young parrots. The family OF
the lady at Chelsea were of a religious
turn and from their conversation and
devotional exercises, her parrot soon lear
ned great variety of pious phrases
The dociIity of the other bird was exer-
cised in very different manner stRo,her

quentcd his mistress house. Her sister
some time after paid her visit and be.
ing quite shocked at the profaneness If
her parrot, begged he might be sent to
Chelsea to learn some better lessons from
good masters TO whom he would pro-
badly listen more at'entiveIy,as being one
of his own species. The matter having
been agreed upon, the prolane parrot
was entrusted TO the care oil waterman
to be conveyed to the school Of pe,y at
Chelsea. On the passage up the river
II happened 10 rain very heavily and the
waterman very often exclaimed "damn
my mistress for sending me out on such
a wet day as this" The words came
from the mans heart,and were therefore
very impressive. The parrot seldom let
such things escape him. AS soon as he
had got to Chelsea, and was hung up in
his cage near his intended tutor, feeling a
strong desire to give some specimen OF
his talents,he distinctly repeated, "damn
my mistress for sending me out such a
wet day as this !" The other parrot
with great fervour responded, "Gracious

near the surface should not be Of a good
quality, the perforation may be continued

The pipes should be either of cast iron

would not be durable, but speedily
become leaky and out of order. The
best mode would therefore probably be
that of having metallic pipes cast for the
purpose, and formed so az to fit exactly

be necessary in boring for water. When
old wells have become injured or tainted
