RUssTA.-The emancipation of the Russian
serfs, which, by the recent enactments of the
Government, during the next fifteen years, is
one of the most important and enlightened
measures which has emanatcd from any govern
ment for n long time. of the sixty-one million
inhabitants of the Empire, forty-eight millions
belong to this class. They belong in nearly
equal proportions to the crown and to individ-
vidual proprictors; and though their different
conditions admit of considerable diversity, the
great body of them are to all intents and pur-
poses little better than slaves.

the number of patients made insane by spiritu-
Alism, which has been going the rounds is ex-
Rggerated. There are but four persons in the

THE ONLY MOUNTAIN ROAD IN THIS STATE
A correspondent of the Sac. Bee, on the trail to
Washoc ria Placeryille, writes from Strawberry
Valley:
By walking most of the way in mud up to the
knees-2S miles up hill-and hanging to one
side of the stage, to keep it from falling over.
for the balance of the distance, they reached
Strawberry Flat 22 miles from the summit, by
dark on Monday night. Here they found fine
house-(there is only one in the place) glorious
fire of logs as big as barrel, and some ninety
men on the way to Washoe, half of whom arrv-
ed on foot with their packs on their backs. The
hotel was crowded, but by 10 o'clock next morn
ing seventy started ont to reach the summit-the
snow was fourteen feet deep; these Sacramcn-
fans, having found good quarters, remained, as
they deemed prudence the better part of valor.
Before the cavalcadc got out of sight of the
hotel, the foremost mule swamped in snow
bank and the rider went down out of sight. but
soon beat his way to the surface again. They
tried it once more, and went on.
At o'clock in the evening, one of the party
came back to the hotel, and stated that they had
made about two and a half miles by foot
going ahead and feeling for the old trail with a
shovel. About 10 o'clock six more returned,
and stated that the party had made seven miles,
all having to go on foot and lead the mules
Still later. four more returned and gave the in
formation that the whole party completely
used up. and had cncamped, determined to try
to make four miles the next day, which would
bring them to another stopping place. But as
their animals had nothing to cat. the four miles
must be made, if man and beast could do it
else the mules would perish. 1t was supposed
that they world have to shovel the whole dist
ance. but our Sacramento friends determined to
remain where they were until the trail should
be opened.

LEAP YEAR.-The year 1860 is "lcap year +"
and consists of 500 days. The necessity Of leap
year arises from the fact that by exact calcula-
tion the earth makes revolution round the sun
in 365 days, five hours, forty minutes and
IS seconds, or very nearly six hours more than
what is called civil year. One day of twenty
four hours is consequently added every fourth
year to make the year commence when the sun
is at the same point in the Zodiac as near rs may
be. 1t will be seen, however, that an intercal'
alton of one day in four years is trihe toe
much, amounting in 1854 years to one day. Il
is provided that every year the number Of which

EFFECTS OF RAILROADS on PRoPERTY.-The
Railroad Record, published in Cincinnati, states
that upon carefully examining the valuation Of
property in large number of the counties OF
Ohio, it finds that the increase in those having
railroads is double the increase of those having
no railroads; thus proving conclusively that a
large part of the increase of the state is due to
railroads only. Inquiring into the relative eff
feet of the capital employed, on one hand. and
of the increase Of capital, it obtains the follow
ing result:
Increase of capital S450,000,00
Cost of roads 1l0,000,000
A precisely similar result is to be witnessed
in Missouri. In 1850, when the railroad system
in that State was commenced, the taxable prop
erty in the State was $9s, sos 900, which, for the
sake of easy calculation, we will call $780, 00O,-
600. In 1860, the taxable property of the State
amounts to at least S34O, 900 900. 1t has there
fore increased in ten years S250,000,O00. Esti-
mating the natural increase, not produced by
railroads, at ten per cent per annum, this nat
ural increase for ten years would amount to $780,
100000; the remainder, Sl50,O00, 900, would be
the increase due to the influence of the railroads
We would have then these figures:
Cost of roads $50, 600, 900
Value of increased wealth pro-
duccd by them 150,000,000
