On the night ofthe 2lst the Indians made an attack
upon the north settlement, and did considerable
mischief burning houses and stacks of grain, and
killing and driving of stock. On the first alarm,
the inhabitants assembled at Captain Browns fort

sent to the city for assistance. General Eldridgc,
with two hundred cavalry, and Captain McBride's
light artillery, were instantly despatched to their
relief Word has been received that upon their APP
proach the main body of the Indians fled to the
north, and that General Eldrdge, leaving small
detachment to protect the inhabitants, and guard a
few Indians that had been picked up, pushed on in
pursuit. A scouting party came in yesterday
morning, and reported that party of Indians had
collected at Weber river canon, and Capt. Green,
with company of mounted volunteers, composed
principally Of 9Gcntilcs, the Saints call out
siders, started out to dislodgc them. At our ap-
proach they fired few guns, and then fled up the
mountains. We succeeded, however, in getting
thirty five of them, which exceeded our whole num-

seers of Harvard College,
especial attention has been given lat the Cam
bridge Observatory to the accurate adjustment of
time keepers, by observing the transits of stars
the meridian, aided by long experience of the
director in this branch of mechanical science. BY
q specific arrangement made for that purpose, the
motion of every railroad car in the Commonw ealth
is regulated by time at the observatory. The vast
benefit thus conferred on the public will be at once
recognised, when it is considered how much human
life often depends. on the accuracy and uniformity
of time with which NIL the movements on the rail-
roads are Directed
