ADVANTAGES SCIENCE Mr.. iiolbtook, Of
Midway the celebrated Bell Founder, who has
put up clock upon the Bapus, Church IN TINS
town the prssen, week,gave US a htIe incident OF
his life, which is worth relating, ii for nothing
moro than to show the importance OF IL kno" ledge
OF chimistry.
An immense pile Of cinder and dtoss had nccu
muated near his foundry, which was supposed to
be entirely worthless, and YVES used only to fill up
stono walls &c. a fpreigner who happened TO
be IN town, examined the pile one day, aud tier
ed 800, for il. So large price excited Mr..
HIS suspicious that tho cnders might contain
valuable metal, and he declined selling 1t. The
man then offered $500, which, of course confirm
ed his opinion, and after n little parley, the
stranger acknowledged that he was acquainted
with q process by which valuable metal could be
extrac ted from the clnders which he offered 10 d.
yuige for small compensation furnace aud
apparatus constructed according TO has direc'
ton, and when the whole pale was run through
the mass Of neglected rubbish yielded a neat prot
il Of thirteen thousand dollars. So much tos
knowing how to do it-Lynn Freeman.

CURIOUS GEOLOGICAL FACT.

Mr. J. Leonard, Of this town, mason J
is now engaged in digging well near
his residence, ard has extended it TO the
depth Of fifty-fve feet The earth. to the
depth of about ten feet below the surface,
is of a yellowish clay, intermixed with
sand and gravel. Below this is stra-
tum of blue clay, very compact, containing
boulder stones of greater or less magni-
tcde, bones, and INCONSISTENCIES of
trees, all the wood is somewhat carious,
so that the species cannot be determined
with certainty; some pieces have the APP
pearance of black walnut, others of pine
or cedar. Several pieces OF grapevines
were found that were but little decaved,
and some had been considerably charred
by FIRE. A bone, dug up at the depth Of
40 feet, appeared to have been sawn asun-
der longitudinally; the surface being
smooth and even, as if it had been cut by
the saw Of a outcher-probably worn to
that form by the attrition of some hard
body before it was deposited where found.
AT the depth Of fifty feet the workmen
came into layer of pure clay plastic, ex-
tremelv tenacious, and entirely free from
sand. This was almost two feet in thick
ness, and under it was what had evident
", at some former period, been the sur
face of the earth. Extending over the
whole diameter of the well, and closely
adhering 10 the superabundaEt layer of
clay, was the remains of what had unques-
tionably been grassy turf, the grass and
moss being in as perfect preservation as if
they had not been inhumed but a few
months. And what renders the above
supposition more probably is, that under
this turf there is black alluvial mould
similar in ali respects to the soil on the
surface of our bottom lands. From an
other well, now digging, near the former,
the trunk of tree, six or seven inches in
diameter, with numerous branches, was
cut off and taken out and also large
piece of fossil coal. broken off doubtless
| from some distant coal strata, and borne
thilher by the force of rushing waters.
A question arises, by what means was
this mighty mass Of clay and sand piled
above the former surface, or how did these
foreign bodies arrive at such depth in
the solid earth Some have supposed
that they have been borne there by SUBJ
terranean streams; but the nature of the
SOIL In which they are imbedded forbids
the possibility of it. They could only
have been LETT there when the clay that
surrouDds them was deposited. The
lwhole phenomena can only be satisfacto.
lrily referred to that period in the earth's
history when "the fountains Of the great
deep were broken up" when "the waters
prevailed exceedingly upon the earth -
and all the high hills that were under the
whole heaycn were covered. -LebGaoa

THE HORRORS OF WAR.

A clergyman VINO went over the field
of battle, after the defeat of the Russians
by the King of Prussia at Soldin, wrote
and published the following account of it:
At o'clock the cannonading ceased,
and | went out on foot to Soldin, in order
10 learn to whose advantage the battle
turned out. Toward evening, 700 of the
Russian fugitives came to Soldin, pitiful
sight indeed some holding up their hands
cursing and swearing, others praying and
praising the King OF Prussia, without
hats. without clothes, some on foot, others
two on horse, with their heads and arms
tied up, some drag ging along By the stir

When the shadows of evening deepen
around and the hum of busy life is for
season hushed into silence, it is the part OF
wisdom to call home the wandering mind;
10 forget awhile our connection with earth
and its pursuits, and hold converse with
that world whose glorious sun never sets.
but the Lamb in the midst is the light
thereof-Where sin cannot enter, where
the eve shall never more be sufused with
tears. where bewildering care shall never
again brood darkly and heavily over the

UNFAIRLY surrender he night also, to its

the curtain upon the sweet slumbers of
her little offspring, so does our Heavenly
Father slowly close the shades of night
around his wearied children, kindly re-
| minding them that it is time to retire flom

repose, new vigor for the labors of the

As long as science shall continue to IN

vision the sunlit system of the universe,
how much more sublime is that verse,

see them as globes compose systems on
