Lathes; Upright Drills Gear-cutting Machines,
&C., &c.
Gear-cutting done to order on New and I'm
proved principles.
We Manufacture "Supeiior Engines" and Ma
chinery for Saw-Miils, with which ordinary hands
can cut more Lumber, with less expense for oper-
alton and repairs, than can be done with any other
kind of Mills.
Particular attention given to the construction
OF Machinery for FIGURING Mills--both Steam and
Water,
We have provided ourselves with a Gear-cutting
Machine, which enables us to cut gearing 64 feet
in diameter-and under,--and 10 inch face,--and
undertake. to fill core wheels and dress the teeth,
with the same machine, which insures accuracy and
uniformity in the teeth. Dressing cogs in this
way is less expensive and more accurate thun
doing it by hand. We will warrant our gearing
to run almost as still and smooth as belts. A
good assortment of Gum Betting, always on hand
at the lowest prices.

Professor Agassiz, of Harvard University, has
been offered by the Emperor Napoleon the pro-
censorship of paleontology at the Museum of Nat

the French Minister of Public Instruction
PARIS, Aug. 10, 1857.
SIR A chair of paleontology is vacant in the
Museum of Natural History of Paris, by the death
of NJ. d'Obigny. You are French; you have en-
riched your native country with eminent works
aud labori1us researches, you are a Correspond
ing Member of the Institute. The Emperor
would be happy to restore to France a distinguish
ed man of science, a crowned professor. l offer
to you in his name, the vacant chair. Your coun-
try will deem herself happy in recovering one of
her children, the most devoted of science.
Be pleased to accept, Sir, the assurance of nv
sentiments of high esteem.

ton and Religion at Paris
Monsieur lie Ministre After having passed the
greater part of my life at a distance from the great
centres of science, | should never have expected
to receive the distinguished honor which you have
done me, by offering me, in the name of the Em.
peror, the chair of Paleontolgy, at the museum
of Natural History in Paris.
The whole world considers the Jardin des
Plantes as the most important establishment in
existence for the natural sciences. l have, there.
fore, felt the liveliest joy in reading your letter,
and in receiving by your offer, the proof so prec-
ciOus for ne, that | am not forgotten in Europe.
Unfortunately your proposition finds mt una
Bile to accept it, for l could not sever abruptly
the ties which for a number of years | have been
accustomed to consider as binding me for the re-
mainder of my days to the United States. More
over, l can not suppose that the instruction
which was entrusted to NJ. d'Obigny could be in.
interrupted for a sufficient length of time to per-
nit me to finish certain embryolgical labors
which | have undertaken, with a view of compare
sons with the fossils of the epochs anterior to our
own, and which would lose all their interest il
they should be left incomplete, find myself,
therefore, under the painful necessity of refusing
a position which, in every circumstance, | shall
always regard as the most brilliant to which a
naturalist can aspire.
1t may appear to you strange that I should al
low a few ovules and embryos to weigh in the bal
ance which is to decide for the remainder of my
life but, doubtless, it is to this absolute devotion
to the study of nature that | am idebted for tn
confidence of which you have just given me
mark as signal as it is unexpected and il is be
cause | would continue to merit this confdenc,
for the future, that l have taken the liberty O
entering into these details. Allow me, also, to cor
rect an error that has been circulated in referenc,
to myself. | am not French. Although of French
origin, my family has been Swiss for centuries
and | myself, though expatiated for more thar
ten years, have not ceased to be Swiss.
l beg your Excellcncy to receive. with the re
iterated assurance of my lively regrets at my ina
bility to accept the chair that you offer me, thu

Upon this the Boston Courier remarks
Thus the "whirligig of time brings in his re.
venges'.' 1t is curious and interesting to see the
France of to-day retaining as a son of hers the
seventh deseendent of the Huguenot preacher
whom she drove out two centuries ago. 1t is a
brilliant tribute to the genius and position Of
Agassiz, and one which his labors have well de-
served.

E We clip the following frem the Lam
caster Intelligencer of this week:

THE RAILROAD AND FoLITIcS.-We have
been informed upen the best authority, that the
Pennsylvania Railroad gave orders to their men
working on the different sections of the road in
Lancaster county, especially in this city, that
they might so and vote, bit mast return iunaedi
ately to their cork. This, perhaps, was all well
ties The Democrats did as they were ordered;
but there were several Black-Republican employ
ees who not only went to the polls and voted, but
remained there Ill day! This was especially the
case in the North West and South West Wards,
where these m belonged, and they were
the noisest, most meddlesome and insulting fell
lows we saw on the ground. We presume, there
FORE that the rule was only intended to apply to
Democratic employees. If this is to be the par
tizan course of the Railroad, the sooner it is
known the better. a Democratic Governor and
Democratic Legislature will, perhaps, teach the
Company better manners.

The Banks.

We learn from a reliable source, that the Phil
adelphia Banks have at length determined to
call their stockholders together, for the purpose
of deciding la relation to the Relief Act They
the country Banks under the 3rd section Of that
Act, which requires them to receive the notes of
all solvent Banks in payment Of debts. The
affairs of the Bank of Pennsylvania are under
going an investigation by a committee of the
Directors.

AUTUMN SUNSET.
"Golden light now fills the air
Purple shadows now appear
Mountains, bathed in misty color,
Sleep on ground of blood and amber:
Lower stream the setting rays,
Richest light crowns every place;
Clouds of glory float, like incense,
In the days last dying glance.
sTJpwar,l heavenward goes the light;
From the cast comes leaden night;
In the valley darkness gathers,
From the world all light retires.
In the crimson, flaming eve,
All the day burns slow away;
And the rnorrow's holy dawn,
From the ashen misty grry,
In slira,lc is borR.'

Not True.

We heard it several times asserted last week
that the Catholic Clergyman in Carrolltown re-
manned at the polls in that place al day during
portion of the Democratic county ticket. On
inquiry we are satisfied that the charge has no
foundation in truth whatever. The Rev. gentle
man referred to attended the election, exercised
the right of suffrage, and then returned to his
home Immediately, and afterwards took no part
in the contest.
