~ An anonymous writer in Philadel-
phia has published a thick pamphlet, in
which is uufolded "a New Theory OF lhe
Creation and Deluge." Among the novel
doctrines set forth are these: The earth was
formerly surrounded BY a luminous ring,
like Saturn. This ring was composed'of va
por CONCEALED into a band of ice, which was
finally broken up and melted, descending
like a universal Niagara upon the EARTH
Saturn will by and by. experience a similar
deluge, and We shall no longer see that plan.
Ell surrounded by luminous rings. There
were no mountains before the flood only
little hills, the lofiiest of which were not
more than twenty.eight feet high. There
was light before the sun, moon or stars were
visible on the earth.

The interest on the public debt Of The Com
monwealth will be paid on the lst proximo,
the requisite amount being already in the
State treasury. Indeed there will be, we learn /,
two or three hundred thousand dollars
on hand after the interest is paid. We do
not wish 10 be understood, however, as init.
mating that The treasury is now in a pariicu.
larly good condition. On the contrary, we
are assured by good suthority that the State
finances have not been in a worse condition
ltau at present, since the year 1914. The
temporary loans ofthe State, We understand,
already exceed a million of dollars, a very
large sum, and one, from present prospects,
not likely soon 10 be lessened. The with.
drawal of The cars and boats from the main
line of The public works by one or Two large
Transporting firms, we are told, will lessen The
receipts into the treasury Gom The works some

Appalling sacrifice Of Life.

War wasideclared against Russia by Eng
land and France ia March, ls54-only sixteen
months ago. The pfodigious loss ofilfe which
hostililes have, during that short space of
time, occasioned, begins TO call forth remark
from the European press. The progress of
enlightenment and Of scienessaoss not seem,
from The calculations that ase made, TO have
rendered war less bloody thai of yore, nor to
have diminished the aggregate Ct losses by
exposure and disease. Since the declaration
of war by Turkey, IN the autumn Of 1858,
The loss TO that Empire is estimated at 1870,
600 men. The French have, since their ar.
rival in the Crimea, lost 10. 600, dead or in-
valid while the British have suffered TO the
extent of $4,000. The loss of the Russians
is variously estimated from $50 900 TO 300,-
900. Austria, too, though not at war, has
suffered immensely BY diminution Of force in
The unhealthy localities where she has been
obliged 10 place her armiss. Taking also
into account the mortality on board the ships
Of wal and transports, and among laborers OF
different kinds attached TO the armies, OF
whom there are thousands in the Crimea, il
may be assumed that from GOO, 900 10 700,
900 men have perish ed or become invalid
since the commencement Of The war. What
the amount Of mortality will DO when opera
lions shall be conducted on a larger scale
when bloody battles shall be fought in the
open field and gigantic contests shall decide
the issue of campaigns-remains hidden in
The future. The wars Of The French Repub-
lie and Empire cost 10 Europe 6,0o0,0o0 OF
men but, if w may judge from the past
eighteen months, the present struggle is des-
tined 10 exceed all That have gone before ii
in the wide spread destruction which it will
cause.-Journal Of Commerce.

Mas. SOPHIA A. SHARRErrs, wife ofthe Pas

and daughter OF George e. Strickhauser, Esq,
OF Gettysburg, Pa; aged about % years.
The raven wings of death closed quickly
over the hearts here made desolate and sad,
and the mourners are many more than the
comforters, for even the strangers hear feels
that the pail Of grief is over him. 1; is but a
few short months since The deceased came
among our people. and we chronicled in a
few brief lines, as a thing too sacred for par
ade, that a new life of loneliness and light
dawned upon her. She wove a web of SYM
palhy among The hearts of many friends,
which we may hope shall now be a chain of
golden Inks to draw them to the Throne OF
The wise and good ALL Father on high. De-
volion made her a home of happiness, aud
gentle goodness surrounded il with all that
makes life worth living for.
Her funeral on last Monday was a very
impressive ore. After the burial, the servi-
ces in church were conducted in the follow
ing order: Prayer by the Rev. D. ]. Waller,
Singing by the Choir, Sermon by the Rev.
MIR. Willard Of Danville, Impressive Remarks
in German by the Rev. Mr.. Eyer of Catta-

Singing by the Choir.
Mourn not for her the young Bride oflhe Vale,
Our gayest and loveliest, lost TO us now,
Ere life's early luster had lime 10 grow pale,
And the garland of Love was fresh on her
brow.
Oh, then was her moment, dear spirit for Hy-
ing
From this gloomy world, while its gloom
was unkuown-
And the wild hymns she warbled SO sweet.
ly, in dying,
Were echoed in Heaven by lips like her
own.
Weep not for her-in her spring-iime she flew
To that land where the wings of the soul
are unfurld; y
And now, like a star beyond evenings cold
dew,
Looks radiantly down on the tears of this
world.

BOOK NOTICES.

The OLD FARM House.. By Mrs. Caroline II.
Buier L.aing. Philadelphia: Chas. II. Da-
Wis, 80 South Fourth Street.
Mrs. Laing-formerly Miss Bntler-is an
auihoress Of no mean reputation and in the
work now before Us, she has produced one
of the best pictures of the varying lights and
shades OF American domestic Lille that has
yet been presented. Her style is pure aud
sprightly, her characters graphically drawn,
and the whole plot of the story is managed
with copsiderable artistic skill. We can hon
estly recommend this book 10 our readers as
very pleasant fiction, which will serve 10
interest, if il does not instruct them.

timenl treated scientifically by Professor
julius Caesar Hannibal; in a series of bur-
lesque lectures darby colored, originally
published in The HNew York Picayune.i
A. Ranney, 1876 Broadway, New York.
Every newspaper reader has met with
some of the quaint and spicy sayings of the
Professor, and we think no one has met with
so much that he will not wish for more. The
book is brim full of wit and satire, aud is
every thing il Processes 10 be. 1t furnishes
that kind of dry humor which is only TO be
foun | in America, and is polished by the
art of a gentleman and a scholar.
