nv important survey has lately been made in
that city, and one which we hope may be attend,
ed with the most pleasing results to the Interests
of that enterprising and scientific city.
1t is not a survey OF new railroad route,
nor for another canal. 1t is neither survey
for new water-works, nor for the most eligible
location of another Exchange, which from the
enormous increase of " Western business eX-
pected this spring." we take it, will be imme-
datey wanted. 1t is not even an examination
into the amount and prices OF the huge masses
of " dry goods, groceries, cutlery and crockery

precedented repletion.-t is none of these but
it is, nevertheless as important ana as interest

holden formal and solemn inquest upon Miss

Of celestial observations, the precise position OF
her great toe-the foot and toe aforesaid being
Invested of their covering, and the whole mat
ter being conducted in the most open and salts
factory manner-not only the physicians aiore-
said, but their friends, having been present
Awaiting ourselves, therefore, OF their labors,
we are enabled to lay before our own readers
the exact latitude as well as longitude Of the
foot aforesaid, together with the circumference
of the ancle The diameter may be ascertain
ed by the reader himself if he has mathematics
enough. The precise length, then, is 2t inches
from the heel to the end of the small toe-(smd
est would be more proper, perhaps; for they
must all of them be small) II incnes from the
heel to the end Of the great toe-Gt should be
biggest, for the reason mentioned in the preced-
ing parenthesis) The circumference OF the
ANGLE is Clio inches. All which is solemnly
certified to by eight physicians under their own
proper signatures. There is variety of re-
Elections growing out of this interesting exami'
nation-reHections with which we intended to
regae our readers; but we find that we have al
ready said enough upon so small matter as
