Power OF A BIRDS SoNo.-When we hear
the song OF soaring lark, we may be sure that
the entire atmosphere between us and the bird
is filled with pulses, Or fluctuations, or waves,
as they are often called, produced by the little
songsters organ OF voice. This organ is a vi
braling instrument, resembling, in principle,
the reed OF II clarionet. Let us suppose we
hear the song OF a lark, elevated to height Of
800 feet in the air. Before this is possible, the
bird must have agitated sphere of air | 900
feet in diameter that is to say, It must have
communicated to 1883 tons OF air a motion
sufficiently intense to be appreciated by our
organs OF hearing .--7gndaHs Glaciers of The

that the town of Westboro' has rescinded its
laws in regard to driving through the town
cattle that are diseased, or that have been ex-
posed to disease. The reason assigned for re-

it mistake that no Indictment was found by

PROSPECT OF GAINING REPUBLICAN
MEMBER OF CONGRESS FROM DELAWARE
The little state Of Delaware is by no means
given up to proslaveryism. The statement
published few days ago shows that in Will

Lincoln candidate for inspector was far ahead
of either Bell or Douglas, and that the vote
of either candidate given to either of the others
would have defeated the Breckenridge c3ndi.
date The Bell and Lincoln vote together
was in a majority of 800. We are gratified to
notice that cordial union has been effected in
Delaware upon candidate for congress, with
every prospect of success. Hon. George p.
