HEAT OF THE EARrH.-A late scion.
the paper asserts that the temperature in
an Artesian well at Neufen, in the king.
dom OF Wertemburg, exhibits more ran.
ID increase Of the temperture in proper.
ton to the depth than has hitherto been
known in any other locality. In most of
the Artesian wells, it has been found that
the temperature increases about one de.
gree for every 100 feet, but at Neuffen it
Is one degree TO every SO feet. The
depth OF the well is 1850 feet, and the
temperature of the bottom is about IO4
degrees Fab. The nearest approach to
this great exception from the normal state
OF things is at Mount NORM, in Tuscany:
and it is worthy of remark that at both
places, the bottom ofthe well is 100 feet
above the level of the sea. The writer
tnlnks that the cause of the anomalie. is
the ancient heat of the ignited rocks,
which being very slow conductors Of heat.
communicate but very small portion Of

appear that the crust of the earth is thin.
ner at these places, and consequently that
the approach TO the internal surface !.
moro rapid than at other places.

Extract from the Discourse of Rev. John G.
Smith, delivered before the Ladies' Mission
ary Society on Sabbath evening last.
"Benevolence is a rich and beautiful field
to the cultivation Of which females are most
happily adapted. They are not called to rule
They Ire not made TO govern in Church or
State. Their voice cannot be heard in the pull
pit or at the bar, but there are no limits to their
influence or operations. To give efficiency and
success all that is necessary is to have female
hearts sanctifed, and then the cause Of benevo-
lence must be impelled onward. How much
in the early history of this church was done
by females. And this is true Of all other
churches.
81 do not approve of FAIRS as too often con-
Quoted most unsparingly would denounce
the low vulgar practice Of gambling called
"raffling." but have never yet known any
thing Of a fair in which have not admired
the spirit and energy Of the ladies' How cheer
fully do they 60 through their tolls To how
many inconveniences and self-denying labors
do not they submit In these they accomplish
great results. There is one fair. however, of
which we oil, as .americans, are proud Who
has not visited the National Fair 2 And who
has not felt q thrill Of pleasure and triumph as
he looked upon American manufactures? Much

one department in that fair which interested

highest pleasure was at the great western out

There thsy stand, and have stood. for days and
nights, every day. every night for almost Two
weeks, labosicusly engaged in disposing Of re.
