THE PROGRESS OF THE STATE SURVEY

THE PROGRESS OF THE STATE SURVEY.
This commendable undertaking is being attend
ed with results which we anticipated. Thus far,
great and important discoveries have been made,
and it is beyond question that Vermont in mineral
wealth, is among the first of the New England
States. From gentlemen connected with the sur
vey 1t is ascertained that upwards of twenty orma-
tons have been examined. Most of the limestone
which has fallen under their observation consists
of petrfed mass of shells and corals, all of sub
marine origin. Considerable quantities of iron ore
have been found, together with small quantity Of
native "copper"
The purple and green slate stone of Hubbardton
and Fairhaven have been examined, and found to
be of excellent quality for roofing and writing sates
Being tree from grit any hard nodules, they are
planed with great facility, and from the ease of
transportation to market probably afforded at
low rate.
The region lying west of the mountains is re-
garded as vast deposit extending through more
than twothirds of the length of the State consist
ing of marble, hme;. immense quantities of brown
iron ore, ochre, manganese, and white clay, from
which the finest porcelain may be manufactured.
1t is coniectured, from the great quantities of
marine shells found, that great portion of the
western part of the State, together with the bed of
the Lake, at no remote period, formed the bottom
OF deep bay, opening into the Gulf of St Law
rence.-.liiddleburg GALAXY.

THOMAS PAINE

A gentleman in NewYor who personally knew
Thomas Paine, and was repeatedly in his company
during the last years of his life, gave the following
account of conversation with him respecting the
Bible:
"One evening found Paine haranguing a COM
pany of his disciples, on the great mischief done
to mankind by the production Of the Bible and
Christianity. When he paused said Mr.. Paine,
you have been in Scotland you know there is not
a more rigid set of people in the world than they
are i'll their attachment to the Bible; it is their
school book their churches are full of Bibles
When a young man leaves his fathers house. his
mother ALWAYS, in packing his chest, puts Bible
on the top Of his clothes He said it was true.
continued You have beenin Spain and Portugal
where they've no Bibles there you can hire man
TO murder another who never gave him any offence.
lie assented. Yon have seen districts in Europe
where not man in fifty can read, and you have
been in Ireland where the qaority never saw the
Bible. Now you know itis 6h historical fact that
in one county OF England or ireland there are many
more capital convictions IN six months than there
are in the whole population of Scotland III twelve
Besides, this day there is not one Scochman in the
Almshouse, State Prison, Bridewell, nor Peniten-
tiary of New York. Now then, if the Bible wac
so bad book as you represent it to be, those who
use it would be the worst members OF society: but
the contrary is the fact for prisons, almshous-
es, and penitentiares, are filled with men and wo-
men, whose ignorance or unbelef prevents them
from reading the Bible. 1t was now near ten
o'clock at night Paine answered not a word but
taking candle from the table, walked up stairs
leaving his friends and myself staring at one an
other"

KISSING A PRETTY COUSIN.

1t is grave question-has man a right to kiss
the tempting lips of pretty cousin? The Phos-
opher OF the Richmond Star averreth that he has,
on oeing provoked to DO so-and they say, he is the
easiest to be provoked within the limits of ina
sod Dominion" But he says that the lips of a
pretty cousin are sort Of neutral ground, betwee
SISTERS and strangers. If you sip, it is not be-
cause you love, not exactly because You have III e
right not upon grounds Platonc, nor with the calul
satisfaction that you kiss a favorte sister It is a
sort OF hocus-Pocus commingling of all, into which
each feeling throws its parts, until the concatena
ton is thrilling, peculiar, exciting, delicious and
emphatlcalIy sleek" This is as near TO a philo-
sophica analyzation as he can well come, he thinks,
and then he intmates that all the sweet pretty girls
are kissing cousins in Virginia. The Major says
ne hopes this custom will travel fast into the other
States, and become extensively fashionabe-and
the Majo is a man of taste.

Good Effects Of Fte0uent Balbing.

Good Effects Of Frequent Bathing. The i'm
Portance OF this subject to which we have frequent
y alluded, is well set forth by the New York Ag-
nculturol Journal as follows -
"We write in the full persuasion that bathing is
too generally neglected in this country either from
want Of thought upon its Importance, or want of
convenience for its enioyment but with little ox.
eruon such convenience might be provided, where
ever there is a good pump or yet better, where a
coplous spring Of wafer can be found. The fscili-
ties should not only be afforded, out those who
have charge Of families, should make it point to
see that they are ayalled Of by every member Of
his household under his control. Ask the la
boring man, him who labors with mind or body, and
who Is accustomed to being daily, or frequently re-
ireshed with the shower or plunging BATH what
would induce him to forego it Rising in the
morning exhausted and languid from the effects Of
oppressive heat, he out from his bath invig-
GRATED and capable Of thinking so much closer, and
working with so much more aIertness and satisiac e
ton that lie would much sooner renquish one meal
day than TO give up his bath. He only, who ha-
oIually enjoys It, can estimate the prystlon, when
no means are to be had for the indulgence,
Those who have most studied the art of preserv-
ING health, dwell upon cleanliness Of the person, as
next IN Importance TO be considered, after the air
and food.

Progress Of Ertrapdgance.-lt is mentioned in
the New-York Mirror, that the cost of ladies' fans
in some of the stores of Broadway Is one hundred
dollars. The editor says, he saw manageable
looking young man purchase one for his intended,
and paid seventy five dollars Seventy five dollars
for fan! This exceeds in extravaganza fifty dol
lars for pocket handkerchief At this rate it would
cost as much for fashionable belle to rig herself
out in beau-killing style, as it would to fit out

ing phrase to call some ladies "dear creatures"

Hints TO The Ladies.--Star carpets should always
have slip Of paper put under them, at and over
The edge OF every stair, which is the part where
they first wear out in order to lessen the friction OF
the carpets against the boards beneath. The strips
should be within an inch or two long as the car.
pet is wide, and about four five inches in breadth
SO as to lie distance from each stair. This sim
pie plan, so easy of execution, will, we know, pre-
serve stair carpet half long again as it would
last without the strips Of paper.

observed to him, the only objection she had to a
union with him, was the probability of his dying

MARRIAGE

Tacitus says early marriage makes us immortal
1t is the soul and chief prop of empires. That man
who resolves to live without woman, and the wo-
man who resolves 10 live without man, are enemies
to the community in which they dwell, injurious to
themselves, destructive to the whole world, apos-
tates from nature, and rebels against heaven and
earth.
