very young, and has been re elected with.
out opposition to each succeeding Con.

State that none could DC found to oppose
him for his seat. lie Immediately took a

on account Of his courteous bearing to-

ership. We stated few days since that
Mr.. Orr had already been elected TO the
next Congress, and that the report of his
declining TO run again was untrue. 1t is
true that he has been elected, but we re
gret to learn from him that lie will not lie
a candidate for the succeeding Congress,
and that lie has so notified his cCnsli,u,

the geological formation Of the Western
States, | will remark that the whole coun.
try between the Alleghauy and Rocky
Mountains is a vast basin Of secondary
limestone, mostly arboniferous--ihat all
the rivers and creeks appear to have worn
channel through the limestone from
thirty TO three hundred feet deep. and
therefore their waters flow far beneath the
general level Of the country. Walls Of
solid limestone, more or less precipitous,
have thus been formed wherever water
flows. These walls, called "bInfis," ire.

FARMERS, NOTE 1nIs.--In a cloudy
morning it is a matter Of Importance to
the farmer to know whether it will be sun
shiley or showery in the afternoon. If
the. ants have cleared their holes nicely,
and piled the dirt up high, it seldom fails
to bring clear day to the farmer. Sp.
der webs will be very numerous about the
tops of the grass and grain some cloudy
mornings; and fifty years observation
has shown the writer of this, that these
little weather-guessers seldom fail in their
predictions Of fair day. English Pa-
