TENPERATURE OF WATER AT DRPrH oP
2.575 FEEr.-The Columbus (0.) Journal saws:
I'VE are indebted to the kindness of Professor
Wormly for the following information in re-
gard 10 the temperature of the Artesian well
in this city. A. Wslferdin's registering ther
mometer, contained in glass tube filed with
water, and this tube enclosed in an iron one
nearly filed with water, and closed perfectly
tight, was sunk in the we'll, few days since.
to depth Of 2,475 feet at which place il re-
mained for twenty-five hours. 1t was then
lowered to the bottom Of the well, depth of
ISIS feet, and there remained for forty min
utes. Upon the withdrawal of the ther-
mometer it was found to have registered 50
deg Fahrenheit which may be assumed to be
the temperature at the bottom Of the well. In
Paris, at depth of ninety feet, thermometer
has continued without variation at tempers-
ture Of % deg. Fahrenheit for nearly two GEN.
turies. The Artesian well at Louisville, KY,
at a depth Of 2,0S6 feet, showed q temperature
Of So! Fahrenheit, being an increase Of deg
for every sixty-seven feet From the above
reports il would appear that the temperature
below Columbus did not increase as rapidly as
IN most other places where observations have
been made.

SCHOOL Hours AND ExERcIsE.-Mr Edwin
Chadwick, who was appointed by the English
Government to inquire into the excessive labor
of young persons in cotton factories, has gone
further, and the results he obtained led him to
propose measures. which were in part executed
for reducing the working time of children un-
der IL years of age to six hours day, and for
insuring their attendance at school the residue
Of the time-say three hours. The children
under this provision are called "half timers"
and 1t turns out, according to Mr.. Chsdwick's s
investigations, that in well-cOnducted schools
their attainments are quite equal to those of
the "full timers" who attend school six hours
daily; while in aptitude for the application of
their knowledge they are said to be superior
As they gain in bodily condition by the reduc
ton of physical labor, so they do in mental
condition by the reduction of the time devoted
to mental labor. The remedies recommended
by this gentleman are the reduction Of the or
binary school hours by one-half, and the devo-
tion Of them either to manual labor OF gym
nasties

EXCITING AFFAIR AT HAMILTON, OHIO
Shooting Ofd Citizen by a Prominent Lar
ysT.-The Cincinnati Gazette Of August 4, says
- We learn by passengers on the train over the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Road last
evening, that an exciting shooting affair took
place in the city of Hamilton yesterday after
noon. The history Of it, with the preceding
Circumstance, are about as follows A minister
over one of the religious congregations of the
city received several anonymous commuuica-
tions through the pOstofice, in which the au-
thor prOfessed a desire to join his church, but
did not wish to become associated with such
persons as certain ladies OF his congregation
These letters were finally shown to the hus-
band Of one Of the ladies, prominent mer-
chant, who thought he recognised the hand
writing Of another citizen, and subsequently
charged him with being the author Of the SLAM
derOus communication, and a reneounter fol-
lowed. This occurred several days ago The
fact finally csme to the knowledge Of one of
the most prominent lawyers of Hamilton that
the same anonymous calumniator had attacked
his wife in the same contemplate way and
taking means to satisfy himself of the author
ship, resolved to infict summary punishment
While passing along the street yesterday after
noon, in a buggy, he discovered the supposed
author Of the letters in a store, and alfghting
from his wagon, he walked in and commenced
an attack by firing at him with a revolver
The individual attacked attempted to escape,
and succeeded in so far avoiding his assailant
as TO dodge all but one shot, which took effect
in the shoulder, inficting a severe but not a
dangerous wound. The interference of other
parties present put an end to the affair for the
time being.
Much excitement existed throughout the
city, all the parties to the scandal being among
the most prominent and we'll known citizens
For reasons which will suggest themselves, we
for6ear giving names, which may, perhaps, be
made public through an investigation.

lSELEGASCIES OF SPEECH.-The following
hints from the Mercersburg Review, in an ar
ticle on Extempore Preaching, are worth at
tending to Great care must be taken to ac-
quire habit Of using good language. The
man who goes slip-shod six days in the week
will not walk with ease and grace on the sew
enth in new shoes. If the language of every
day life is not well chosen and correct, it will
be in vain to attempt to speak well in the pull
pit, or even to write well in the study. This
will partly explain why solecisms, vulgar
phrases, and idioms, common-places and cant
expressions, dc. so abound in the public efforts
of some men. The habitual use of good Ian
guage in ordinary speech prepares for its use,
readily and almost without effort, on occasions
of more Importance. What conduces greatly
to form this faculty, is the frequenting good
conpaDy-that is, as Mr. Bautain observes the
society most distinguished for elegance of lam
guage and fine manners There one learns to
speak with correctness and grace, almost with
out study, by the mere force of habit. But as
the young preacher for various reasons, may
not always be able to do this, he can in great
degree supply the place of it by cultivating the
society Of the masters of his language in books
This company is always accessible, and always
ready to speak; so there is no excuse for me-
glect in this particular. The perusal of the
best authors serves directly to supply the
speaker with a cOpiOus fund of words, apt and
elegant, and, moreover, indirectly, by the ee-
vatiOn of the thoughts, the march of the sem
tences, and the majestic flow of the ideas, fur
nishes an e6Ratms, or divine glow, which pre-
pares the orator for his intellectual labor no
matter how foreign may be the subject read
from that about to be handled by the speaker
In addition to this, We would recommend stor-
ing the memory with the chefs d'euvrs Of the
best writer's, the poets especially, to be recited
mentally or aloud, during the daily walk or
ri1 hu NH - IL
niceties of the language, and, as it were,
makes them his own; nor must we forget to OBJ
serve that no practice will more rapidly culti-
vate the tastes and refine the whole man"
