NUMBERING THE STARS. 1t is sta
ted by astronomers that the number
Of stars visible to the naked eye in the
northern hemisphere is less than three
thousand, much less than is generally
supposed !; but the number revealed
by the telescope, including those of the
fourteenth magnitude, is more than
forty millions, the distance from the
farthest of which is such that the light
would take from three to four thousand
years to traverse it. 1t would require
twenty thousand stars of the size of
Sirius united, to shed on our globe
light equal to that Of the SYN.

JOHN BROWNS EARLY History
A correspondent of the Hartford Press
says that John Browns grandfather
was captain in the Revolutionary
army, and of the fourth generation, in
regular descent, from Peter Brown one
of the Pilgrim Fathers, who landed
from the Mayfower. Of john Brown
himselfhe says:
At the age of eighteen or twenty,
the present Capt. John Brown left
Hudson, Ohio, and came east with the
design of acquiring liberal education
through some of our New England col
leges. His. ultimate design was the
Gospel ministry. In pursuance of this
object, he consulted and conferred with
Rev. Jeremiah Hallock, then clergy
man at Canton, Conn, { whose wife
was relative, )and in accordance with
advice there obtained, proceeded to
Plainfeld, Mass, where, under the in
struction of Rev. Moses Hallock, ia
Their of the present senior editor of the
Journal Of Commerce, fitted for col
lege. While there pursuing his stud
les, he was attacked with inflammation
of the eyes, which ultimately became
chronic, and precluded him from the
possibility of the further pursuit of his
studies, when he returned to Ohio
Had not this inflammation supervened,
John Brown would not have died a
Virginia culprit npon a Virginia
gallows, but in all probability would
have died on feather bed. with D. D.
affixed to his name. Whether in the
last Supposed ease the world would
have been gamers, or loosers, / leave
for the world to decide.
II make no allusion to his subse-
quent history other than to say that
his acknowledged probity, his intelli-
gence and his enterprise; sometimes
successful aud sometimes unsuccessful
in his business projects. It was at the
urgent solicitations and entreaties of
relative and friends located in Kansas,
that John Brown first appeared there
The town of Ossawatomie was settled
by emigrants principally from Ohio,
large portion of whom were John
Brown'sr relatives, old friends and neigh
bors, among whom were three or four
sons, nephews, nieces, and one sister,
the wife of the Rev. Mr.. Adair, a mis-
sionary located at Ossawatomie. These
when the danger of being wiped out
by the pro-slavery ruffians became i'm
minent, urgently appealed to their for
mer friends and acquaintances, for aid
and assistance. 1t was not in the ma
ture of John Brown to turn deaf ear
to that appeal, and at once resolving
to risk his own life in the defence of
lives just as dear to him as his own, he
proceeded Immediately to Kansas.

A TALE OF Sorrow. A poor help
less woman, with three children, re-
siding in the new settlement in Hamil-
ton township, applied to our authori-
ties last week for relief She said up
to few months ago she had as good a
husband as any woman in her circum-
stances in life. She found, however,
that he was getting into the habit of
spending his nights away from home.
She followed him two or three times,
and found that woman had enticed
him away from her whom he had
promised to love faithfully to the end
oflife, and then and there, with an in
FAINT in her arms, she laid the subject
before him He fed from her pres
ence, and has not been heard of since.
Up to the time that he first gave evil
dence of his infdelity he regularly pro-
vided his family with the comforts of
life, but since that time bis whole earn
ings have been spent in another direc-
ton, and his wife and children left en-
tiPely destitute. The sorrow and dis
traction of the poor woman were al
most indescribable. She could have
followed him to the grave, and mingled
the tear of affection with the dust that
received his remains, but to be tor
mented with the thought that he had
deliberately abandoned his wife and

The site of the cabin formerly occu-
pied by Uncle Tom, "the hero of Mrs.
Stoves most celebrated work, on the
corner of Noble and Market streets, is

pieces of it were sent to a number of
Mrs. Stoves friends in New England,
and previous to its demolition daguer-
reotypes of it were taken for several
parties in this city, Ohio, and elsewhere.
The locust trees that surrounded the
old negroes home have been very APP
propriately preserved These are all
the marks indicating the site of the
cabin occupied by Tom before his death.
Since his departure from mortal state.
of existance the streets that run before
his former home have been graded and
gravelled, the lot has been fenced, and
numerous improvements in the way of
new dwellings and lot enclosures have
been placed in tie neighborhood.

Tom lived so l1umbIy for long number
ofyears, has deserted it's old meandering
channel and been made to take a new
and straighter course in order to be a
less obstruction to the march of i'm
provement in the eastern end of the
city. The spot where Uncle Toms

DONALD MCKAY, the Boston ship
builder, who has been making tour
of inspection through the British ship
yards, writes that American models
for speed are very superior to any that
he has seen in the Royal Dock yards.
He recommends the more general use
of iron and steel in the construction of
vessels, which materials are now prin-
cipally used in England. He will avail
himself of whatever suggestions may
occur to him, to make improvements
In our naval architecture which is al
ready superior to that of any other
country.
