memory of Mr.. Samuel Weir, Mr.. RIA.
Mcknight, was calledEto heschair, and L..
P. Ashby, requested TO act as Secretary.
The object of tue meeting having beensex-
planned, lue following Preamble and Reso-
lutions, were unanimously adopted :
i Whereas, it has pleased an all wise and
merciful Providence, to remove from our
community, Que Of its most useful cili-
zens, Que who always pursued an upright
aud independent course, aud never sllrunk
from self sacrifice, when it was TO benefit
the community or even fellow mortal
we, lbe/P rinters Of Columbia, have assem-
bled 10 express our regret for the loss-eur
respect Tor the character, aud d.our love OF
the memory of our beloved Craftsman,
Mr.. Samuel Weir, who was all honor to
his profession, and benefactor lo all who
stood iu need Of his aid.
Therefore resolved,
/. That in the death Of Mr.. Weir. his
relations and friends and society at large,
have sustained no ordinary loss.
2. That we deeply syinpathize with the
family aud friends Of the deceased in this
their sad bereavement; but sincerely hope
that their loss is his gain.
3. That a copy Of this Preamble and
Resolutions be remilted 10 the relations Of
the deceased.
d. That they be published in the papers
of this town, aud that The papers through
out this State, aud tue Stale of Peunsyl-
vania, be requested to copy them,

excited great interest among the learned
naturalists OF Europe as we'll as of our
own coun.ry. aud heuceforthnone oflhem
will visit Richmond without searching at
once for this deposite. Professor Ehren-
berg, OF Prussin,g The most eminent of lIv-
ing fnicroscopsts, las examined specimens
from This place, and discovered at leusls
one hundred and thirty species (l-slate
from recollection only) Of these minutes of

this almost inipalpable dust, requires a
bowerful microscope; and doubtless, there
fore. MANY who look at specimens with
the baked eve will be very increduious as
TO these statements. But they are con-
sidered as established facts by the scientific
world. - -" :.
This substance may be distinguished
from clay, by being much lighter when
drv. :, II is not, indeed, much heavier than
magnesia, when pure. lu other parts Of
the world it is sometimes used for polish
ing powder. From sligh, trial, ! judge
that The Richmond deposite would answer
the same purpose.
Beneath the infusorial deposit is a
greenish or BLUSH clay, containing nume-
rous sea-shells, or rather casts aud moulds
of them, with sharks teeth, &c.; but these
although of deep interest 10 geologisls,
will mol excite much attention from others.
/. can hardly be doubted that, when this
region was covered by the ocean, tue wa
ters swarmed with micr croscopic animal
cule, whose skeletons as The auimalsdled,
dropped TO The bottom, and in the course
Of ages acculaled prodigiously. But when
we fecollect how astonishingly fast tney
multiply, we need not suppose macy
centuries necessary>to produce even this
extraordinary thickuess.-Chris, Watch
