WONDERFUL MATHEMATICAL GENIUS
Mr. P NJ. Deshong, of Lancaster Co., p, has
demonstrated to us his ability TO solve almost
every species Of arthmetcai problem, in the
shortest conceivable space oc time. At his re-
cues, we set down five long columns OF fig
ures, out of his sight. to which he appended
the sum the instant they were submitted 10
MN, as rapidly as the figures could be written
lie added column of ~ vulgar fractions OF
different denominations, with the same ra-
plddy and apparent ease. He pc, underneath
single column Of figures, so long as to pre-
cctude the possibility Of his reading them dur
ing the time occupied, their sum at sight
tle multiplied five figures by five, setting the
product below instantly in q single line In
the same way he divided any number Of fe-
ures into greater, and commenced writing
the result by setting down the remainder
MIR. Deshong has approached so near SOL
wing the quadrature OF the circle, that after he
had arrived at the 62Sth figure, the decimal lel;

Gatic;an Of antiquity. after extending his cal
culauon to l26 figures, gave it up in despair,

F.9CTORY' SITES,

at private contract, and manufacturers and
those disposed 10 enter into hat business are
invited to view them, under the continent be-
lief that they can no where find sites as cheap
" to be obtained or as advantageously situa-
ted.
A dam Of permanent character Is in pro-
oress of construction, and il and the race way
will be completed early the ensuing autumn,
when power for running from two TO three
hundred thousand spindles will b. made avail.
able for factories.
Weverton is situated on the line Of the Che
sapeake and Ohio Canal, the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, and the turnpike from the City
of Frederick TO Harper's-Ferry. These high
ways unite few miles east of it, pass IN jux-
ia position through 1t, and separate few
miles west of it; and it is thus supplied with
communication BY which certain and cheap
supply of raw materials can be obtained at all
seasons, and manufactured articles be sent TO
all parts of the Union 1t is in the midst OF
fertile agricultural region, and, II Is belle
we'd, that not only subsistence, but fuel also,
can be more cheaply procured there, than
a: any manufacturing town now improved.
The climate is fine, and the water supplied
by numerous springs cannot be excelled.
Building materials of all kiads are easily
and cheaply procured. .
The first applicants for factory sites, will
be accommodated on the most liberal terms.
Ii is proper to remark, that every deed or
lease, for properly, will contain clause pro-
hibitng thereon the manufacture or sale of
ardent spirits, and all other intoxicating
drinks. By order Of the Board,
