GEoLoGY.-We mahe the following extract
from a series of articles on geology, written
by Rev. r. Morris.
Rich beds os Selant of CHI rystalized Gyp-
sum, (Which is the Plaster of Paris of Com
merce,) are found here. One Of the best was
discoveredby us few days ago on the Gallatin
road, six miles from Jackson. Here the Gyp-
sum lies in curious veins. running both vertl-
cal and horizontal, to an unknown extent
and of remarkable purity. wagon load
mightreadily be procured in day with a couple
of hands, and if it equals in quality the Nova
Scotia Gypsum, il would be rich days work =.
it is well known that planters who use lime,
even the best Thomaston article, must coat it
with Gypsum to make resp ectable white gla-
zing. Col. Tarply used some Jumps of it
found near Citation, which being burned, made
brilliant white wash, and his example is wor
thy of imitation. To buy on important arti-
Gle when our hills abound in the same, is as
absurd us the merchant at Chicago, who i'm
ported hundred gross of writing sand when
the hills of Lake Michigan are full Of it.

A RKmlNrscEScE OF CINcINNArI.-The Cincin

A REMlNIscEScE OF CINcINNATI.-The Cincln
natl Enquirer Of the 18th, has the iollo"ihe
illustration of the Queen City's growth:
Twenty-eight years ago to-day gentle
man, now in France, caught wild turkey on
the ground now bounded by Sycamore, Third,
Fourth, and Broadway, in fair ioot-raHe'-
lie, with several friends were playing football
in the neighborhood, when they saw the bid
arse from Mt. Adams--a wild wood then
and align, upon the square. There was only
one house in that region at that time, and that
was on the corner Of Sycamore and Fourth
streets. What changes have taken place since!
Now, there is not vacant lot upon the square,
and some of the finest buildings erected in the
city are upon the same spot.

ARR You THE visGIS!-The 9th or day one
Roman Priest a Jesuit, was travelling through
a wild district towards Mons. He was overta-
ken by a peasan. AM HE wife, on their way to
that city, and they entered into conversation
the peasants speaking in the most vulgar pa
tots. One oil. them asked the priest of what
place he was the euro!
81 am nota cure" was the quiet reply.
"You are then vicaire?"
"No, am one of Me Company of Jesus"
Tho woman regarded the Jesuit with amaze
ment.
"You" she exclaimed; "you Of the COM
Pany of Jesus! Are you then the Virgin"
1t was now the priests time to be astonish-
ed.
"You must know" he said, shat am no,
the holy Virgin.'
"lhen," rejoined she, "you are St. Joseph:'
"Fire," said the good father, "St. Joseph is
in heaven"
SWELL" continued the woman, "then there's
only the ass left Of the company of Jesus"
She was thinking of the flight into Egypt.

LYYcnrNG.-On the recent trip OF the steam
er A tlantic from New Orleans to this port; a
cabin passenger by the name of VIM. Provost,
formerly Of this city, was robbed OF about
$500. A Frenchman on board, named Jean
Lezin Cassou, was suspected as the guilty par
~, and taken in hand and logged until he
confessed the larceny and delivered the stolen
money. At the request of Mr.. Provost, he
was then set at liberty. Probably fearing that
upon arriving at this port he would be given
over to the proper authorities he seized the
first opportunity, went below and procured two
sticks of wood, and with them under his arm
jumped overheard, When last seen he was
swimming toward the shore. Upon the arrival
of the boat his trunk was opened, in which was
found a number Of letters written in French,
from notorious thieves in Paris, detailing
plans to Cassou and others, which leave but
little doubt that he is one Of a powerful gang
Of thieves in the metropolis Of France, and
