The Geological Survey.

One ofthe gentlemen employed in the Ge-
illogical Survey of this state, with whom we
had an interview the other day, speaks of the
agricultural resources that are disclosed by it
as wonderful. The western prairics are mis-
arably poor, considered as land TO be used for
generations, in comparison with extensive re-
gions in Vermont. We have many thousands
of acres, distributed through those regions,
that are covered with the richest manure, and
in such state that it may lie for ages without
deterioration; depostes of muck, equal TO hog
manure in some places, and beds of mar in
eXhaustibe in quantity, and so situated, some
times IAN immense one in Williamstown, for
instancc,) that with proper arrangements,
lime of the first quality may be furnished
from them at an expense of only six cents il
bushel. One muck and mari deposit has been
examined which is estimated 20 he more valu-
able than any iron mine in the state. A re-
gion East of the mountain is supposed to be
the richest in these depositcs; and is proba-
bly, equal to any spot in the Union for perma-
nent agricultural use. The Central and Pas
sumpsic Railroads will both penetrate it.
Copper has been found in one or two pla-
ces east ofthe mountain, in such state and
quantity as TO encourage the belief that valu-
able mines may be opened. In Essex cotn-
ty the specimens are so pure as to weld iron
without ANY preparation.
How the Vermont ores will compare with
those ofLake Superior we are not informed.
Specimens that we have seen ofthe latter are
not properly ores, but metals so intermingled
with rock as to require only mechanical
means to separate it, Pulverize the masses,
and the copper and the silver are separated in
pure state. We understand from Dr. HAYES
who has investigated the subject thoroughly
for Boston Company, that such is the uni
form character Of the Lake Superior mines.
DIR. Hayes does not suppose that the large
quantities of copper that are soon to be
brought into market will essentially reduce
the price. Its uses keep pace with the sup
ply and very slight reduction of price would
occasion vast increase in the demand in con-
sequence ofthe new Uses to which it would
be applied. 1t is not improbable that one or
two copper mines, at least, may, ere long, be
worked in Vermont Chronicle.

1T is now about 10 years since this medicine
Il has been introduced to the public, and it
stands unrvnlled in it's effects, bearing the Sc
we're scrutiny of all classes, both friendly and
unfriendly. 1t is but for purpose for the
use of mothers who have to pass through a sea
of affection in giving birth to mankind not to
be described. 1t is to you we make an appeal.
1t is for your especial and general good that you
should make use of one bottle of the Mother s
Relief before confinement, then you can APP

as if you were going to the chamber of death.
You may rest assured it will still all febrile and
nervous affection. 1t smoothes and shields from
irritation, and by its peculiar properties it de-
stroys the cause ofhemorrhage or inflammation
that so often attend and follow the hour of par
turition. 1t causes sweet and natural rest, and
at last facilitates the birth so that mothers have
not to pass through such excruciatng pain and
distress. The Mothers Relief NAV be depended
upon in all cases of threatening abortion where
it is possible to be prevented;in case of spasms,
&c, causing frequent alarm, from two to three
doses will give immediate relief.
As the subject is one that cannot with propri-
ETY. be fully discussed in this public manner.
we invite all who feel interested to call on our
agents (most of the respectable Druggists in

INDIAN CORN.

Indian Corn is growing popular in these
latter days. In days gone by it was consid-
cred very vulgar sort of grain--only fit for
the commonest people to eat. But since the
falling offin the potatoe crops, new virtues
have been discovered in plain Indian corn,
and even John Bull seems willing to fatten
on it, ifhe could discover how to cook it.
A few days since, while dining at the Balti-
more Exchange, we noticed couple ofnew-
ly arrived, sandy haired Englishmen, oppo-
site us, scrutinizing the bill of fare. 1t was
near the dessert and theywere looking among
the custards, puddings and pies, for something
wherewith to conclude their surnptuous DIM
ner.
"Wat's this, Bob" said one, "IIindian Pud
ding"
"Where!" inquired Bob, peeping at the bill.
"Hindian Pudding, hindian pudding" re-
peated the first. as that hindian corn, do
you think, that they're making such a rumpus

ayes, that must be it," concluded Bob.
"My hey, them" said his friend, diets have
Presently the dessert was brought on, and
our English neighbors cast their eyes anx-
iously over the table to discover the Hindian
Pudding. But the difference between them
and the Irishman was, that while Pat knew
his letters by sight but couldn't call them by
name. they knew Hindian Pudding by name
but could not tell it when they saw it.
Atlength one called waiter
'Bring us the maize pudding, my boy"
said he.
The waiter stared-he didn't know it by
that name.
"The Hindian corn pudding, my boy, the
Hlndian corn pudding" repeated the English
man.
