The FROZEN WELL AT BRANDON VI
Prof. Edward Hitchcock of Amherst read a
paper at the Scientific Association, on Thurs
day, upon 'Foreign Deposit of Modified
Drift" or in other words, The Frozen Well.
We copy from the report of the Advertiser;
The well was dug in November, 1858. For
about ten feet it passed through soil and gray
ell, then about four feet of clay Below this
lay deposit from twelve to fifteen feet thick
OF frozen gravel, with quite large bouders in
termlxed. Continuing the excavation two
feet farther i'll the same material water was
reached. The whole depth is not far from
thirty five feet The frozen part passed
through appeared precisely like the same ma
terlals frozen at the surface in the winter.
Immediately west Of the well rises a hill of
gravel and sand which may be 30 feet above
the WELL and at its south end some 50 to 70
feet high. This ridge is an eighth of mile
long, and runs northeast and southwest. Near
its northern end it is crossed by road which
has been excavated to depth of 60 feet. At
the top of the ridge the bed of clay and the
layers of sand and gravel are nearly horizon
tall but lower down they dip easterly fifteen or
twenty degrees. At the foot of the hill thew
take horizontal position. The pebbles in the
strata were about three inches in diameter. and
remarkably free from sand and gravel The
dip Of those beds of gravel, sand, and clay
make 1t almost certain that this ridge of drift
was formed by current from the northeast.
The well was stoned up late in the autumn,
and during the winter, ice formed upon the
water in one night two inches thick. 1t con
tinued to freeze till April, since which time no
ice has formed on the surface, but when visit
ed June 10Th, the stones of the well for some
four or five feet above the water were mostly
loaded with ice, and the temperature of the
water was only one degree above freezng.-
July 18th there was ice in the well. The water
at that time was % inches deep. About 100
rods distant is another well the temperature
Of which, on the 25th Of June, was 81. Anoth-
er well, IL feet deep, 60 rods distant, had
temperature of45.
In this connection, Prof Hitchcock entered
at length upon similar phenomena which had
been observed in other places:--of well in
Ware, Massachusetts, dug last year, though
not to the extent Of that at Brandon. There

amplitude the encroachments of streets. The
Duke of Bedford includes or included mile
square IN the heart of London, where the
British Museum, once Montague House. now
stands, and the land occupied bv Woburu
Square, Bedford Square, and Russell Square.
The Marquis of Westminster built within
few years the series OF squares called Bel
gravia. Stafford House is the noblest palace
in London. Northumberland House still holds
its place by Charring Cross. Chesterfield
House remains in the Audley street. Sion
House and Holland House are in the suburbs.
But most OF the historical houses are masked
or lost in the modern uses to which trade or
charity has converted them. A multitude Of
town palaces contain inestimable galleries Of
art.
In the country the size of private estates is
more impressive From Bernard Castle | rode
on the highway twenty miles from High
Force, tall of the Tees, towards Darlington,
past Ruby Castle, through the estate of the
Duke of Cleveland. The Marquis of Breadal-
bane rides out of his house hundred miles in
straight line to the sea, on his own property.
The Duke of Sutherland owns the county of
Sutherland, stretching across Scotland from
sea to sea.
The Duke of Devonshire, besides his other
estates, owns $4,000 acres in the county of
Derby. The Duke Of Richmond has 10000
acres at Goodwood, and 100000 at Gordon
Castle. The Duke ofNorfolk's park in Sussex
is fifteen miles in circuit. An agriculturist
bought lately the island of Lever, in Hebrides,
containing 100000 acres The possessions OF
the Earl of Lonsdale gave him eight seats in
Parliament. This is the Heptarchy again ;
and before the reform of 1882 one hundred and
fifty flour persons sent three hundred and seven
members to Parliament. The borough mon
gers governed England
These large domains are growing larger.
The great estates are absorbing the small free
holds. In 1888, the soil of England was own
ed by 100000 corporations and proprietors ;
and in 1922 by $4,000 These broad estates
find room in this narrow island. All over Eng
land, scattered at short intervals among ship
yards, mills, mines, and forgcs, are the para
discs of the mobiles, where the live long repose

THE BosToN Posi- is so far gone in its
championship of slavery, that it actually inter
feres against freedom in a slave State In
Missouri there is an Emancipation Party, -
led by F. P. Blair, Jr. and other old Demo
Gratis, who take the ground that slavery is a
curse to the State, dishonoriug and thwarting
free labor obstructing internal Improvements,
and making impossible very high degree Of
general intelligence and prosperity. The
Boston Post regards this Emancipation party
with an evil eye, and would gladly see it con-
founded and crushed out. That paper never
tires of ridiculing, misrepresenting, and de-
nouncing Mr.. Blair. That gentleman recently
delivered at St. Joseph very sensible and
successful speech in favor of emancipation
and, day after day, has the Post assaulted him
on account of this speech, misrepresenting
what he said, calling him "patent politician, .
and taking the ground of uncompromising
hostility to him and all who agree with him.
And yet, when the plain, unvarnished truth
is spoken of the Post and its championship of
slavery, that paper has the assurance to say
:. 1t is totally false; the author of it knew he
lied when he wrote it."

ENGLISH SLAVES IN BRAzIL.-In the news
brought by the "Indian, it was stated that on
the night of the 4th inst. Mr.. Griffiths, in the
British Parliament, Inquired whether the
British Consul at Rio de Janeiro had exercised
his authority to prevent contract for the sale
of slaves in Brazil by the British Mining Com
pany from being carried into effect" The re-
ply of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lord
John Russell, was to the effect that the COM
pany had been informed that they would be Ii
able to penalty if the slaves were sold
This has reference to the late English min
ing company whose field of operations is at or
near St. Joao del Rey, in the province of Minas
Geraes, Brazil. Great attention was excited to
this subject in England about one year ago, by
a passage written in Brazil and the Brozil-
ians," by Rev. j. G. Fletcher. AS that pas
sage was commented upon by the leading pa
pers OF Great Britain, we here quote it from
the volume mentioned =
1.-The Braziians are not the only proprie-
tors of slaves in the Empire There are many
Englishmen who have long held Africans in
bondage, some Tor a series of years and others
have purchased slaves since 1913, when what
IS called the Lord Brougham Act was passed.
BY this act it is made unlawful for Englishmen
to buy or sell slaves in any land, and by hold
ing property in man, they are made liable to
prosecution in criminal courts. The English
Mining Company, whose stockholders are in
Great Britain, but whose mines are at ST. Joao
del Ray in Brazil, own about eight hundred
slaves, and hire one thousand more. "-BrazH
and BraziHans, p. 1877.
These slaves are generally supposed by the
British Government to have been purchased
before 1843, and their owners have not been
held liable until now. when disposition of
them is contemplated. The leading members
OF the Society of Friends in England have not
ceased to point out the great inconsistencies of
the Government in this matter 1t is a noto-
rious fact that at Rio de Janeiro under the
very nose Of the British Minister and Consul,
not only slaves purchased before 1913 are
owned by Englishmen, but they have been
bought and sold every year by the subjects of
Her Majesty. Hundreds of Englishmen since
1913 have been liable to prosecution in crimi-
nal courts, SO soon as they placed foot on their
native soil. In Para Maranham, Pernambu-
co, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, and indeed in almost
every considerable town in Brazil, NAV be
found men who claim allegiance to England,
constantly violating this law. 1t appears now,
that the largest English slave proprietor 1.-THE
Mining Co.. in Brazil, will be made either to
retain and sustain, or liberate, the 800 Afri.

BERRtEs.-The Amherst Cabinet says the
berry -pickers have had good time this
season, and the quantities of the blueberries
sent to market are truly surprising What a
few years ago was considered common stock, is
now with some the best crop of the farm.
Thirty bushels day have on some days gone
from this vicinity to Boston. Not less than
800 bushels have been forwarded to Boston
market this summer, by N. II. George, ESQ.,,
Of this place, for which he has paid out in
cash to the pickers not less than 81, 100. Some
persons have received as high as 500 and are
yet picking. Blaekberries will be still more
prolific.
