GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

Prof. Emmons, State Geologist, accompanied by
his son, who is of his Assistants, left this place
on Monday morning last for Pittsborough, with the
view of making examination of the coal-beds in
that region of the State. These coal.beds are now
exciting mach attention, and it deemed best that
Prof. Emmons should visit them first. A thorough
examination and Report may be expected. which
we hope soon to have the pleasure of laying before
our readers.
Prof. Emmons will repair next, in all probability,
to the seaboad, and proceed thence towards the
tire and West in the regular performance of his duties.
His abors will extend over field, hitherto un-
explored. We have the fullest confidence in his
qualifications for the task he has assumed, and we
anticipate from his labors the valuable results

1t is stated that one of the results Of the rec:
conferences among the Southern and Northern VIII!
as to ticket for the next Presidential election, 18th
Gov. Seward and Gov. Jones, of Tennessee, h.T
both agreed to support Gen. Scott as the wing CIR

Scott shall place himself on the Union platform 4,
support the compromise measures, while Gov ST.
ard consents to adhere to Gen. Scott as his oTgiz
nominee, even if he should avow himself in fa7C,

supposed he would pursue. Seward has no la.

The CRoUP-How TO PREVENT IT. cores
Pondent of the New York Mirror, medical prac-
titoner, in an article on this subject says:
The premonitory symptoms of Group is shrill,
sonorous cough. The patient is not sck-has no
fever, as often in common colds lively, per-
haps even gayer than usual. This solitary symp-
tom may last for few days, with no material in
crease or abatement, and without attracting any
notice; suddenly, however, the disease hitherto
latent bursts forth in all its fatal fury and too of
ten continues its ravages unchecked to the dreadful
consummation. The remedies for this symptom
OF Group are simple, and in most cases perfectly
efficient. They are mustard poultice or a strip
Of flannel dipped in oil of turpentine, or spirits OF
hartshorn, applied to the throat and nauseating
doses OF Hives syrup to be continued as long as
the cough remains. BY this timely employment
of mild agents, l unhesitatingy assert that null
ttude of lives might be saved every week, that are
now lost through negligence and delay

BLACK Noses. A resolution has been intro
duced to the Kentucky Legislature, which provides
that the keeper of the penitentiary shall procure
suitable chemical dye, such will stain the cut
icle or outer surface of the skin perfectly black
that it cannot be washed off, or in any way be re-
moved, until time shall wear it away, and nature
furnish new cuticle surface and that with this
dye he shall have the nose of each male convict
painted thoroughly black and renew the applca-
ton as often as may be necessary to keep 1t So un-
tence, when it shall be discontinued for the pur-
pose of permitting nature to restore the feature to
its original hue, preparatory to the second advent
of its owner into the world" Pike, of the Ken
lucky Flag, is in favor of the resolution with an
amendment that the sheriff of each county be re-
quired to catch every delinquent newspaper sub
scrber in his bailiwick, and black his nose and
keep it black until he pays up.

The DA1Nr1Es OF CAL1FoRs1A.

The DAINTIEs OF CALIFORNIA. A late num-
Der of the San Francisco Herald says:
Our Atlantic brethren, generally ignorant of
the state of things this side of the continent
would seem from the invoices of ships sent to this
port to believe that we cannot even supply our ia
bles without their assistance and they continue
to inundate lis with preserved meats, &c. The
restaurants furnish daily evidences to the contrary
but it needs walk through the markets to under
stand fully the wealth of native edibles which
California possesses fish, flesh, fowl and vege-
tables. The variety, great size and singular deli
cacy of the latter have already ELECTED much praise,
and it is said they cannot be surpassed in any part
of the world. At this season the gun of the fowler
plays immense havoc among the clouds of geese
and vast focks of ducks and other wild fowl which
whiten the plains and sail the surface of the Bay
and its tributaries. The bear, elk, deer and ante
lope contribute their fat launches, and the native
cattle and sheep, fattened on the wild oats and
tender young grapes pay their tribute likewise to
the palate OF the epicure in spicy joints and tender
steaks. Many varieties Of the finny tribe, since
the occupation of the country by Americans, have
been discovered and brought into favorable notice.
Some are SUI generis and unknown on the other
side; others have strong family resemblance to
species inhabiting the Atlantic waters, and are
named accordingly; and last are a number of spe-
cies identical with relations well known in the At
lantic States"

A CHAPTER OF MISTAKES. l. Persons who
write long articles for family newspapers make a
rally read.
2. Writers who select subjects of CONTROVERSY
greatly mistaken if they suppose that protrac-
ted discussion will interest majority of readers.
8. Writers who extend obituary notices much
over half column, are greatly mistaken if they
imagine that they the attention of one half
the general readers
4. Those who write only few lines to indicate
respect for the deceased, are greatly mistaken, if
they suppose their brief notices will be overlooked.
5. Writers of careless habits are greatly mistaken
if they suppose an Editor has nothing to do but to
correct their miserable punctuation, and orthogra-
ply and remodel one half their clumsy sentences.
6. Writers of ndolent habits greatly mista-
ken if they think that printers can decypher scratch
es as readily as they can we'll formed letters.

The HONESTY OF PRINTERS. At the Franklin
banquet at New York, on the 10th instant Mr.
Bigelow, of the New York Evening Post, said that
he had the honor of being for three years, inspec
tor OF State prisons in New York, and among all
the prisoners confined there every ordor of mechan-
les was represented, except PRINTERS. There was
something in this fact which merited their consd-
Grafton. Mr.. Bigelow concluded by proposing the
memory and honor of that calling which is unrep-
resented in the State prison.

THE CLAREr COUNTY OF MEDoc. About a
couple of leagues north of Bordeaux, commences
the claret county par ercellence-the district of
Medoc. Its reputation is of comparatively recent
growth. The early wines of Guieune, which were
freely imported into England, the stronghold
led and roug htast ed products of the loamy banks
of the Garonne. Until within comparatively
late period the lands, upon which the grape of
Chateau Margaux Chateau Laftte, and Chateau
Latour how ripen, deserts arid and barren
as the neighboring Landes. A work published at
Bordeaux in 1898, and which is now unfortunate
y lost protested to give An historical description
of the savage and solitary country Of .Medoc."
Time rolled on, however; the demands of in
creasing commerce planted with the precious shrub
the wood and Homegrown tract, which separates
the black loan of the Garonne from the hot sand
of the Landes, and the marvellous properties of
that graveny region were soon tasted in the flavor
of the wines which it produced. Vineyards null
tiplied rapidly; villages and hamlets rose thick
over the green expanse; the rapidly enriched pro-
prietors of the most favored tracts of land stud
ded the country with their white, trim chateaux !;
and an active traffic in the soil parceled out
the greater portion of it into thousands of small
interlacing and dove-tailed estates. Numerous
branches of subsidiary industry followed the march
of the vineyards. Coopers poured into Medoc,
establishing manufactures in every hamlet-while
the cutting, shaping and set ing of the slaves de-
voted to supporting the clusters of the precious
fruit, furnished distant branch of industry, and
Medoc gradually tecame what it is-one Of the
most famous, industrious, and populous districts in
France.
