SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

From Special Correspondent
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. August g, l566.
The National Academy Of Sciences reassembed in scen
tic session this morning at o'clock, Prof Henry the
Vice President, in the chair.
In my last letter you that the last paper of yes
erday was On Traces Of Glaciers under the Tropics by
Prof Agassiz who has just returned from Brazil 1t en-
braced the result Of his explorations in the Valley Of tho
Amazon and gave many most interesting statements to
the traces Of glaciers there found
Prof Agassiz spoke Of the first observations made in
Switzerland showing the much greater extension in
cient times of the Alpine glaciers, which filled up the
whole valley between the Alps and Jura and rose TO the
HIGHT OF 5000 or 1000 feet against the latter CHAIN In
making these observations and deducng their results,
Prof Guyot had done much the greatest share Of the
work without receiving due credit. Here his Aga5szs
own part in the work began He did not believe that this
extension due 10 local causes and went TO searching
for traces of like glacial action elsewhere. lie found
abundant evidence that Britain had once been covered
with continuous glaciers is Greenland now and AFTER
long and hard fight the English biologists had fully
accepted the truth He had found evidences OF the same
action in this country far south South Carolina The
whole north Of the globe had been covered by mass Of
ice down 10 as low latitude 81 deg, always pushing
southwark from the sopng Of the land IN that drec-
tion but because the supplying of snow accumua-
ted in the north, and pushed outward lie had gone 10
South America prepared to look for signs of ice there and
had found them There glacial scratches there,
as the upper parts Of the rocky strata had been dsn
tegrated by the peculiarly powerful meteorological forces
OF the tropics which dissolved them they lay humid
reds of feet in depth and made them dsnguhabe from
drift materials only by the heterogenity and mixture of
the latter He had distinguished dr by these and other
indications and had found many Of the usual signs
that he could not but hold that the Amazon Valley had
been once the bed Of immense gacn moving eastward
from the Andes It's terminal moraine had been swept
away by the ocean, which had encroached the land for
hundreds of miles on the east but Of lateral morane

mountains in various directions He closed with pointing
ont the exceeding interest and importance not to geoo
csts only but TO physicists and astronomers as we'll OF
the question respecting the changes and conditions OF
climate which should have brought about the Of ice

PROTEST AGAINST JOCKEY HATs.-A
New York milliner out of employment,
enters her protest against Jockey hats,
for the reason that it is doing poor
working girls great deal of harm. She
saws in a letter: "One milliner can
make five jockey hats where she can
make but one bonnet, thus throwing us
entirely out of employment, and forcing
MS to seek work distasteful to us or
starve, and many will be forced to seek
their food in sin and misery. Were we
doing harm to other trades would
not write to you, but we are not. 1t
takes as much material for the round
hat as for the bonnet, and some makers
would prefer making the bonnet frame
to the round hat. Our only hope is that
by the Jockey hat being ridiculed in the
daily papers and by writer's, we may
get the ladies again to wear more as
summing and chaste covering"

THE ROGUEs' MARCH LAST NIGHT
AS has been advertised without cessa-
tion for two weeks past, the Radical
torchlight procession came off last night.
After securing the country round about,
sending to Pittsburg, (and we suppose
they had delegations from Massachusetts,
and other portions of New England),
they managed to make an ordinary dis
play, not having as many torches in
proeeSSionby considerable as was in the
democratic turnout last Saturday
night, The black and tans had six
hundred and sixty-six torches in their
hne; one hundred and ninety-three of
these were borne by boys under fourteen
Years ofage. There were eighty men from
bellaire. twenty-seven from Moundsyille.

UNwHoLEsoME OYsTERs.-lt is saiu
that quite a panic exists i'll washington
Richmond and vicinity, among the oys-
ter dealers and oyster eaters, in regard
to the reported cases of serious illness
of number of persons at Annapolis ana
Baltimore, after partaking of the oi-
valves. The recent heavy rains nave
seriously damaged the oyster crop, anu
at times a whole fleet of schooners have
reached Washington together, having
been detained by the storm. The oys-
tiers they bring are of course damaged
and stale, but they are nevertheless
nushed upon the market and peddled
through the town. In Richmond there
is restriction placed upon the traffic,
buc it has now been removed, and the
trade is carried on as before. They are
sold there for two dollars a gallon, but
in Norfolk, Virginia, they bring but one
dollar a gallon. 1t is to be hoped that
some action will be taken in the mat
ter in Washington, for if something is
not done serious results may ensue.
