Curfospties ofrhe Earth

At the City of Modena, in Italy, and about
four miles around it wherever the ear is dug.
when the workmen arrive ut distance OF
sixty three feet, they come to a bed Of chalk,
which they bore with an auger Eve feet deep.
They then withdraw from the pit before the
anger is removed, and upon the extraction
the water bursts up through the aperture
with great violence, and quickly fills this
newly made we'll, which continues full, and
is affected neither by rains or drouth. At
the depth OF fourteen feet are found the RI.
ms OF an ancient city, paved streets, houses,
doors, and different pieces Of mosaic work
Under this is found soft, ooxy earth mad
up of vegetables; and ut 26 feet deep, large
trees, such as walnut trees, with walnuts
sticking to the stem, and the leaves and
branches IN perfect state of preserva tion.--
At twenty-eight feet deep, a soft chalk is
found, mixed with vast quantity OF shells,
and this bed is eleven feet thick. Under this
vegetation is found again.

We are reloiced at being able to announce
to our citizens that the one great object to
which they have looked forward with 20
much solicitude, and on which has been
felt to depend our prosperity and growth
- CITY, and our ascendency ~ the
commercial metropolis Of the State--the ex-
tension Of the X. IT. d. 4 M. r. R.--has at
length been fully provided for by contract
for that purpose. We congratulate them,
with the citizens OF the Des Moines Valley
generally, whose interest in the carly COM
pletion and success Of this great enterprise
are identical with our own, on the fact that
the known, wealth, ability and enterprise Of
the contracting parties afford sure and GER
tain guarantee that THE ROAD WILL BE coz
pLErED in less time than they are required to
build it by the terms of the contract.
The parties to this contract are Messrs.
David W. Kilbourne, G. H. Perry. William
Leighton and Hugh T. Reid Of this place,
and Sanford j. Smith, with other WE'LL
known parties of Eastern cities. The con-
tracing parties to receive the frst mortgage
bonds of the road, local subscriptions here
and along the line, with other securities no v
in the hands Of the Company, together with
lease OF the forty-two miles Of the road
now completed, and have obligated them
selves 20 extend the road and have it finished
in good running order a distance equal to
otsumwa, on or before the Let day Of De-
cember, 1860. And they have also further
obligated themselves to complete said road
to Eddyville on or before the let OF Jsnua-
ry, 1861, provided the good citizens of that
place and vicinity will comply with certain
conditions proposed by the Company, which
proposition we regard as very liberal on the
part OF the Company, and which We doubt
not will be acceptable, since substantial
proof Of their determination has ALREADY
been given.
The work will now be pushed forward with
oil possible dispatch. So sure have the Com
pany felt Of concentrating this contract TO
the past month, that being determined to de-
lay not day longer than was necessary. thew
have anticipated the movement by placing on
the contract a considerable force Of hands
which has daily been increased during the
past ten days, and which has now been
turned over to the contractors.
The work Of extending the road up the
Levee is progressing rapidly and large force
Is now employed for that purpose and in rails
ing the road across the bottom lands below
the city. 1t 10 expected by the drst Of NEXT
month the track will be laid on to the present
levee.

We learn from the New York Times that
public expectation, in supposiDg that MIR.
McLane had brought home a ratification OF
our new treaty with Mexico, has been pre-
mature. Our Washington correspondent
telegraphs to-day that the State Department
has received no communication from Mr..
McLane on the subject-an omission which
would not certainly have occurred if any i'm
portant intelligence had to be revealed. In
deed, it was not to have been hoped that Mr..
McLane, who visits the United States during
two-month's leave Of absence, should have
succeeded already in obtaining from the Jua-
req Government the treaty with oil its emen-
dations approved. The document was sub
mitted by Mr.. McLane to President Juarex
on the 22d Of September, and within seven
days from the date our Minister had left
Mexico. 1t is, therefore, unreasonable to
expect that the points upon which the two
countries differ, exhibited 10 the amendm ents
made to the new treaty, should have been go
speedily settled. That they will be settled
We have no doubt; but this probability does
not sufficiently warrant the assertion, made
in certain quarters, that the treaty, with all
it's amendments accepted, has been brought
back to Washington by Mr.. McLane.

4 MOST Excellent thing In woman

There is one part OF woman's eduostion
often forgotten or neglected--the culture and
formation Of a gentle voice. II is a great
gift of nature to be aided By culture-an in.
strument OF powerful influence for good. |
speak not OF singing hymns, nov, and the cul-
ture OF harmony for musical purpose
though these tend to Gods praise or to give
innocent amusement but this gentle voice
will be able to guide and persuade to good
the manly heart OF o faithful husband will
mitigate sorrow, lessen trial, and speak OF
hope and Joy to her dearest friends and con.
nections, in accents at ence powerful and
pleasing. Let us then be careful in our
schools to cultivate this most valuable ac-
quirement. How different 10 oil respects. to
family, and for friends and neighbours, are
the kind, gentle, persuasive accents l have
described, from the sound We sometimes
lalas too often) hear in tho close sbodes of
poverty and trial high, harsh, female treble
tones of bitter import-scolding and re-
preaching and driving away from the hearth
and home (perhaps to sorrow and to sin) the
husband and the children.

MILEAGE.

A friend recently sent US list of the TWEEN
". five Senators who, 10 1851, presented their
bills, and got from the United States Treas
ury $35, 1880 for journeys they never per-
formed. Among the list we find the names
Of Dodge and Jones, who jointly got for their
share $3,O40--the former $l44O, and the
latter $1,000. This is pretty good sum to
receive between meals-that is to say, Con.
gress adjourned at IL O'Clock, and the SEN
ate was called together ct o'clock the same
day; and Dodge and Jones presented their
bills and received pay for mileage, as il they
had travelled all the way home and back
This is constructive mileage-receiving mo-
ney Tor journeys never performed.
