NEWSPAPER BORROWERS Good Joke.-A
joke, which we copy for the amusement of those
who annoy their neighbors by sending to borrow
it, appears in the Baltimore Sun, as sort of com
mentary to paragraph which appeared in the
Ledger. M. s. sat reading the paper at home in
themorning, before leaving for his store, when the
boy of neighbor entered, with the usual errand
upon his tongue, which he delivered in the usual
way "Mr. s. pappy wants to borrow your Sun
a few minutes this morning. ''Tel your pap
py,' replied Mr. S. ''that / am using my Sun.
but, drawing penny from his pocket and han
ding it to the boy, "there's penny, which am
not using just now, with which ne can buy one.
Tell him he needn't put himself out of the way
about returning it to-day. will send for it when
| want it, the same as frequently have to do for
my paper" Mr.. S. has been allowed the use of
his own newspaper since, without ANNOYANCE
from that neighbor. The same result attended
practical joke, which a subscriber of the I-edper
once played off upon an inveterate borrower
Finding that he never could get sight of his paper
in the morning until his neighbor had first perused
it, he subscribed for two copies, and had one reg
uarly served at his neighbours door, at the same
time he received his own. This put the newspa-
per borrower, who are always inconsistent people.
into great passion, but it saved the subscriber
from any more annoyance from that quarter.

bly, confrmatory of the results obtained from an
enumeration in Belgium, of less than half that
number, by M. Quetelet, who, by bringing the
aid OF extensive mathematical requirements to the
subject OF Statistics has gone far to place it within
the domain of the exact sciences. On this subject
he has arrived at the conclusion that the unmar-
ried are two-thirds of the community, that the
unmarried are the most numerous in the rural
diStrlcts-that there are more males than females
unmarried-an that the number of widows is
double that of widowers to which we may add
that widows and w!dowers are most numerous in
the civic districts"

countenance to report afloat that Monterey had

IMPORTANT GEOLOGICAL Discovery. 1t is
well known to those who are conyersant with the
mines of brown iron ore which abound along the
base of the Green Mountains, from Monkton to
Bennington, that the immense quantity of ore
produced has consisted ofdetached fragments, and
that no regular solid bed ore, Interstratfied with
the rock, has been heretofore found. We learn
that the State Geoogist, on recent visit TO
Mitchell's ore in Chittenden, in company with
President Hitchcock, of Massachusetts, in exam
lining the drifts which have been carried in vari-
Gus directions from the shaft, found ore OF these
terminating in an immense mass ofsolid ore, which
is blasted out by the miners. An examination of
the mass resulted in the discovery of the fact that
it was reposing on that variety of limestone rock
which in many places has been found to accom-
pany the ore, in an inclined plane parallel TO the
layers Of the rock, while the loose materials above
clays and ochres, are also in parallel beds, having
resulted from the archy layers over the iron ore
The necessary conclusion seems to be that this
bed of ore several yards thick, is coextensive with
the solid rock and it is probable that it never will
be exhausted. The owners will Of course, find
il advisable to abandon the expensive explorations
in other directions and concentrate their efforts in
this field. We understand that the origin and
position of the manganese were also satsfdc torily

MURDER IN SHREwsBURY.-A coroners inquest
was held in Shrewsbury, on Monday. on the body of
George Brown. appears from The evidence before the
jury that Brown, who was about eighty wears of age
resided alone in his small house. situated in the south part
of the town. On Saturday night, an Indian. named
Bralzel Manu. with his wife, came 10 Browns and re-
manned there through the night 1t seems that they had
Aug OF rum of which they all drank to beasy iuoxca-
ton. In the morning. Manns wife went 10 one of the
neighbors and remained till her husband came after her
when they returned TO Browns and, as they testify had
something TO eat, and again left the house. Mann's wife
returned between four and five O'Clock and immediate.
y after, gave the alarm 10 the neighbors that Brown
was dead. He was found with his head and arms upon
his bed face downwards with his knees resting on the
floor He then cold and stiff, and ii was the opinion
OF physician, who happened BE- passing and was cal
led in that he must have been dead four or five hours
There large wound back ofhis ear which appeared
TO have been made with club or some other blunt weap-
on and which, the examining physicians pronounced the
cause ofhs death. There also a smaller wound
his elbow. The testimony of the Indians very
fused and contradictory and twas very evident that the
man. at least, had been drunk that he could tell
and probably did not know, at the time, what he
about. He testified that be had not been away from
Browns during the day and that Brown and he drank
together, within fifteen minutes of the time that Brown
was found. The verdict OF the jury was, that Brown
came to his death by blow received upon his head.
We understand that the Indian and his wife dis
charge at the close ofhe investigation and do not learn
that any arrest has subsequently been made.

standing the order Of the Court admitting them
to bail. Freehold security in Virginia, is requr-

been procured, although Ohomen Of undoubted

agree to enter bail on condition that third will
unite with them, but no third man can be found.

AMERICAN MANUFACTURES. One of the
editors Of the Richmond Wing, who has been
spending some time at the east, in the examina-
ton of the various manufacturing establishments
OF that prosperous section of country, des-
cribes in o e of his recent letters visit to the
"Lowell Carpet Mandatory where he sud
denly found himself in the midst of more than
fifty looms, ''from which seemed to spring. he
remarks, cas- il by magic, some of the most
beautiful figures in wool he had ever seen" He
adds
Until entering the building, where we found
large number Of the ''Lowell Girls weaving car
pets, had no conception whatever of the great
perfection to which this kind of work has been
brought in this country. The carpets then being
made, by the only power looms and first ever
known or used, i'll any country, were equal in
richness and beauty to any thing of the kind it
spossible to produce. And was forcibly struck
upon examining the style of carpeting manufac-
tured at Lowell, to find that it was the yerv ar
tcle that many of our merchants have to mark
"German," from the fact that there are many
people In this country who imagine that carpet
ing cannot be made any where else than across
the waters. That such an idea is not only preiu-
diclai to American Industry, but also exhibits
want OF information, | do not hesitate to saw
why should not an article manufactured in this
country be as good as that made elsewhere And
why should we not foster our own enterprising
artizans, in preference to those abroad
