A REAL NOVELTY. MIR. Editor: Last
summer, when the City Council passed an
ordinance prohibiting the sale OF liquor on
the Sabbath, many of those who loved it on
Sunday as we'll as other days made foot
prints for the Scioto Hotel; as that was a.
bout ten yards out of the corporation limits,
they expected there to revel in glorious
drunken liberty, But to their CONSERVATION,
they were denied by the landlord; he declar-
ing that he would not take advantage OF he
law, because he was screened by thirty feet
of earth.
On last Sabbath afternoon, as was leis-
urely walking down Friend street toward
the canal, saw numbers of ladies' and gen.
tIemen, in companies ranging from two to a
dozen, all moving towards the Scioto Hotel.
This awakened some interestin my mind
and made inquiry in reference to the cause.
was told, in answer, that the Rev. Mr..
wabee was to preach there at three o'clock.
This struck me as being a real nouelty, and
resolved to Join the assembly aud hear FOL
the first time sermon 10 hotel. On reach
ing the place, to my aslonishment, fount
two rooms filled to their Utmost capacity
and many gathering into the third. The
preacher discoursed Upon his text abou
half an hour, producing an effect, manifest
ed by the shedding OF tears, quite unex
pected to me in such place. At the con
clusion of the service, the appointment wa
renewed for next Sabbath. We would no
be disappointed, from the zeal manifested
by the minister, and the interest exhibite
by the people, ii there should be a Metho
dist revival right there.

CrWHEAros. Deputy Sheriff of Tuo-
lumne county, Texas. has related to the g.
ditor Of the Sonora Herald, the circumstan-
ces of strange discovery which has been
made on a ranch formerly owned by no.
torious parsonage known by the name Of
Texas Jack, who is said to be now in the
Penitentiary. A man and horse were found
dead in large hole on the ranch, the man
being still on the horse and spurs remain
ing on his boots. The man had apparently
been murdered, as the mark of deep cash
was visible on his skull, and was dead a
good while, being in state of decay
Several skulls and human bones, probably
the remains of other victims, were discover
ed besides ON the ranch. The ranch is situ-
ated in the valley, near the Stanislaus;some
distance this side of Islip's Ferry.

says:
''New Hampshire is the only State that

teusive use Of Nickel, in the manufacture OF
German silver, gives interest TO every dis

iron, but Pennsylvania excels 10 the number
and variety of specimens. North Carolina
furnishes handsome specimens Of phosphate,

silver ores from South America, Mexico and

CURIOUS CALcULArIUNs.-The ocean, ac'

of water; and to Gil its basin would require
ali the rivers oflhe earth pouring their wa

amount of heat received from the sun every
year would suffice to melt crust Of ice 80

65-Swamp lands have been donated
bOuntifulIy by feceHt Congresses to the
Western ststes- As the public has probA-
bly, very little idea Of the extent Of the Ba-
lional generosity towards the vigorous
young cOmmoswesIths Of the West, IL may
be ofinteresi to many to know that, aecofd-
ing 10 the report Of the United States Sur
vsyor General for Missouri and Illinois, the
total number Of acres OF swamp land given
to Missouri 10 9,765,s7l, and the number
given TO IIIiaois is 2,37O,653. According
to the ST. Louis Republican, much Of this
land may, and will. be reclaimed. and, in

government laad, Informs rs that Uaele Sam

He saws the SURVEYORS, Wno5e ddty it Uas

tens of thousands Of acres that are by no
means within the intent Of this law Of Con-
gress. II there was any moist damp spot up
on q quarter section; il was forthwith pot

eminent. He procured a plat Of two town
ships at the land Office, and then wen; to
tbe Surveyor and got him to mark on his
plat the lands that were returned as wei
In examining the townships he often had a
chance to see the character Of these lands,
and he says they embrace, id many i1staH-
ces, some of the best and most desirable
tracts. or course, the General Govern
ment will always be swinded in all these
operations, but as that which is taken from
the National treasury win 90 to benefit the
State, we suppose there is no loss.
/ Our friend makes this general remark,
which is no doubt true, and worthy Of re-
membrance, that purchasers need Iave no
apprehension Of getting lDst lands, if they
buy of the General Government, as every
tract that can, by sny possibility, be sup.
