All Around about MartinsyiIle

In the company of our good Sheriff, we
found ourself on last Saturday morning
equipped for q ride over The hills above
Martinsvile. We were furnished the best
horse and buggy certain Livery Stable
could turn out-the horse constituted an
excellent whip market, tie buggy rickety,
and its cushions something softer than paw
ing stones. We came upon the thriving
little city. and while her people pursued
their labor as though no person had come
to town with splendid equipsge and all
that, we pursued the even tenor of the
streets until We arrived at the go called
Plank Road, leading to Mt. Pleasant. We
suppose it really was the Plank Road, bu,
il took lively exercise of the Imagination
to convince oursef that we were indeed
enjoying the. luxury of ride on a modern
improved road. Thanks to the superior
horsemanship of our companion, we arrived
At the hilltop, where we were surprised to
find penny toll was lifted for the privilege
of travel on the worst road we have seen
for one month. From this hill We have enc
cf the grsndsst landscape views We have
ever seen. On the slope betweeD US and
Martinsville are a number of homeiiEe
dwellings; surrounded by vineyards, orch
ards, and gardens, all under high cultlva-
tion. Then comes in view the town.

6ne school bnilding, the handsome dwellings
all surrounded by gcodly number OF shade
trees, together present quite picturesque
appearance. Beyond this we see the placid
waters of the Ohio gliding on to the ocean
between rugged, verdant hills that line its
course. In the distance we see The Out.
line of the city of Wheeling, and murmur-
irg round the hills comes the echoes of the
busy, restless life of the enterprising city
We were 10th to shut our eyes from such a
view; but to our trip.

that its contact is sufficient to melt cold
lead,) and then back, entering the furnace
in three places. The volume Of air is thus
driven with great force through these pipes,

find time to visit all the enterprising estab

have done. We were through the Machine
Factory of Messrs. RICE g. SwARrz, whit
are turning out one hundred threshing ma
chimes this season, and who know how t
dispose OF them, as will be seen by ou
advertising columns next week. The
there is GRIFFITH g. Co., who are makin
fifty threshing machines; besides WELL

RECLAIMING A DESERT.-Dr. O. M.
Wozencraft makes suggestion through
the San Francisco National, to the eff
feet that the southeastern corner of the
State, known as the Desert, can be con-
verted into garden of unusual fertility,
at Il comparatively trifing cost, by open
ing communication from the river COL
orado and introducing its waters into a
now sterile waste. He remarks that
official surveys have established the fact,
that the section of country mentioned
was formerly the bed of the Gulf, that
it is now much lower than the Colorado
river, and portions of it lower than the
Gulf; all of which goes to establish the
practicability of his suggestion. He
thinks if the State will consent to un-
dertake the reclamation ofthis arid body
of land, that Congress would willingly
make donation of it.

of the various insect tribes peculiar to
the Pacific coast The result of his
labors is one of the rarest and most ex-
tensive chronological collections in this,
or any other country: Pierce has secur-
ed pairs of almost every kind Of insect
from gnat up to dragon-fy, and has
kept minute registry Of the economy
and peculiarities Of each tribe: This

Posi- OFFIcEs.-It appears from the
report of the Post Master General that
the whole number of Post Offices on
the LIST Of Dec. 1858, was 2S,273'
There are S,296 mail routes, covering
260,60 miles. The expense of trans
porting the mails for the year, was ST.
795, 43S; and the expenditures for all
purposes S12,722.470. The revenue
fell short of the expenses upwards of
four and half million of dollars. The
Post Master general stats that the ex-
penses Of the department over and above
it's revenues have increased every year
since the reduction of postage. He
thinks, however, that we have reached
the limit of this increase, since our
postal system is now extended over the
whole country from one ocean to the
other, and the maximum of excess of
expenditures over receipts has therefore
probably been attained.

BoNING HIM.-There has been We
racious story going the rounds, to the
effect that the spirit of dissected man.,
whose skeleton belonged to DIR. Redman,
had been picking himself up and bring
ing his bones to New York. He was
about Is hours in bringing all the bones,
not so soon, it is said, as they might
have been brought on the cars, but all
things considered he made pretty good
time. Wherever the Doctor went du-
ring that interval he was greeted by a
small shower of bones, and in one in
stance bag containing sixty-one of the
smallest bones was thrown right through
the ceiling of room upon table in the
midst of three witnesses.
Schnigle-Fritz suggests that Redman
owed the ghost something, and that the
ghost was bonimg him for it. Probably.
