MISCELLANEOUS
.sIMPROvED INSTRUMENT
For Surveying an0 Calculating Areas. -

leNHlS lnstrume nt is semi circular plate, with
Il a neede-hox attached to the diameter, and
the circular edge graduated in degrees and there
being movable limb or alidade attached to the
centre of the plate with verniers at both en- s. the
bearing OF line can be read for any number of
degrees or minutes
The plate is so divided as to FORM with the scale
of the aidade, traverse table OF lines instead Of
numbers, which gives at once the latitude and de-
parture of any course and distance run.
The table answers the same purpose for ascer-
tanning heights and distances a. the required dis
lance is read from the plate without tie trouble Of
referring to the logarithmic tables.
1t gives the horizontal measurement of the lnes
of survey; and where there is local attraction
the lines can be traced independent of the needle,
there being two pair of sights. enabling the sur
veyor to form at once the anglo required by the
bearings Of the courses.
The variation of an old line is easily calculated
on it. and for such work as leveing for mill races
or draining land, it answers every purpose of the
evel.
There is an attachment for solving oblique tri-
angles, which gives the base and perpendicular of
the triangle. from which the area can be ascer-
tanned very readily, and it also gives the bearing
and distance of the closing line in division of land
The Instrument can be used with either the
sighth or telescope.

GABRIEL HIRSH'S HORN!

TNHE world in general, and particularly the u
l. nited States, have been recently much aglta.ed
and interested by the visits of distinguished ia.
panese to tue seat Of the American government
The eyes of the nation have been upon their move
rnents, and the men, women and Oh Ida en- have
hocked to see the curious and noted strangers.-
While all this has been progressing in Washing ton
city, it seems that similar excitement has been
created in Stanton and Augusta county. Tho
news has gotten ont that GABRIEL HIRSH is now
receiving and opening the most magnificent as
sortment Of
Esaa2cy &oodEs
ever exhibited in Virginia ard that he is selling
them almost for nothing. Indeed, having pur-
chased such an immens stock of every variety of
Goods, enabled to get them at the very low
est prices, and is now selling them for little or
no profit. His motto is ''Quick sales and small
profits and he is determined to show the public
that he can sell as low as can be purchased in the
Eastern cities, and 10 per cent. cheaper than
any other House in the Valley of Virginia Now
is the time, and Hrsh's the place to save money By
getting cheap bargains. Call quick, before the
choicest of the assortment is disposed of HOOP
SKIRTS and MANTILLAS without number which
will be sold SO low to astonish every one and if
that price does please, Hirsh is determined to
give them away. His Goods must be gotten out of
the way to make room for more coming in.

Ebr the Tndicafnr.

Mr.. Editor From all can learn from
the different sections of the Baltimore Con-
ference, it is fired fact that neither the
clergy Or laity will submit to the action of
the late General Conference at Buffalo, on
the subject Of slavery True, there has
been some difference of opinion in regard to
the true meaning and intent of the Chap
ter, few believing that it has no force of
law. but is emily advisory; while the many
think different. Will not the few, after
reading Dr. Kingsley's editorial, explana-
tory, and who himself was chairman of the
committee that made the report of which
this Chapter is part, retract any seeming
endorsement which they have been led to
make, upon assurances given, but which
now appear (if made) to have been decep-
tive and hypocritical, and only as trick to
deceive aud gull the conservative members !!
Does not Dr.. Kingsly declare that the min
lister who refuses to execute this Chapter,
will be held guilty and amenable to the au-
thorities of the church, Then why should
there be (if any mow exist) division OF
sentiment among the members of the border
Conferences, but especially the Baltimore
Conference Rather let the exclamation
20 forth from the clergy to encourage ana
cheer confding memberships people
who have stood by the clergy through all
the storms of the past fifteen years. but who
now seem to be firm in their determination
to separate from all ecclesiastical relation
with body who pass rules and regulations
too iutolerable to be borne-that thy God
sail be nv God, and thy people shall be my
neople. and united as Conference and
people, we 60 forth and build up the waste
places of Zion. Then, aud not till then.
shall we have rest, SO much desired. and
our preachers may be able to 60 forth and
proclaim full and free salvation to the
master and slave, umtronameled and afsus-
pscted. Then shall it be, as in days of
yore, prosperity shall attend their labor,
and seals given to them, that shall shine as
stars in4tLeir crown of rejoicing. 70 the
writer nothing will be more gratifying than
to see the church of his early choice. in
which he has grown gray, and which has
been the instrument of leading part Of his
family to brighter scenes and enjoyments
beyond the river of death-enjoying once
more rest and peace in her borders. pray
for the peace of Jerusalem" is the language
Of the Psalu,ist. United we stand, dIsi-
ded We fall" Let us not become factions
in the Baltimore Conference, but be firm,
and move in one solid body; and may He
who rules all things. and rides upon the
stormy skies" "calms the roaring seas" 40
direct in the present emergency. as that
His ewn cause may be best promoted, is
the desire Of l.. NJ. NJ .
