American Feet.

The New York Hide and Leather journal notices a
few of the differences in the shape of feet Of people
various sections af the country. Shoes made in one
localitg not adapted for all. For instance broad
SHOE wide in the shank is best adapted to the East
trade, sole meeting with but little favor.
Rhode Island though the smallest State in the Unon
boast of of the biggest feet that ever trod
sole leather The Middle States require sinner shoes
and higher in the instep than the East. The instep
grows higher as we progress Southwark, commenc-
ing with Virginia, and the foot shorter aud more
plump. Rarely, at the North does full grown man
wear less than No. 6, running up in the scale OF
sire to No. IL; but at the South, many u-sized
man wears As and SIS, and seldom over 9's. fzza

~ Twenty American citizens residing at Vcto-
ria, Vancouvers Island, have written letter to
Secretary Seward congratulatiug him on the
az uisiton Of Russian America by the United
States. In the opinion of these gentlemen, the
climate of the new territory west of the Cas-
cade Mountains, as high as CD degrees, and OF
the numerous islands bordering its Shores is
milGer than that Of New England. The pine
forests are immense in extent, and lumber can
be shipped with great from the capacious
harbors lining the coast Mines of gold, silver,
copper, lead, iron and coal are known to exist,
Many rich specimens of these minerals having
been brought down to Victoria. Although in
agricultural capabilities our new territory is in
ferior to territories lying south of it, yet there
are large tracts Of land which under cultivation
will produce most Of the cereals as well as the
harder vegetables of the temperate zone. rl.

Some Of our wealthy citizens, we are
sorry to say, are acting the part Of wheel
horses in the effort now making to get
the City to take additional stock in this
road, so as to insure its completion -
They seem to be willing TO sacrifice, not
only the $50, goo already taken by the
city, through their influence. but the con-
ditional stock Of over 800, 900, as well
US the future prosperity Of Richmond,
that depends largely on the completion
of this road to FIT. Wayne. We fiatter2
ed ourself that our citizens were unit
in this vital matter, and that self inter-
est, that has always been considered Tie
lever by which all men could be induc-
ed to take part in any public or private
enterprise, was so clearly at the bottom
of this project, that no argument was
necessary to be used to induce them to
give their aid and assistance for its con-
summation-we yet think So and, as a
spur to bring the wheel horses to this
natural feeling, we invite their attention
to the calculations Of a Cambridge cor
respondent, in last Wednesdays Cincin'
natl Gazette G Speaking of the past
situation of our neighboring town of
Cambridge, this correspondent says "a
"For along time there seemed to he
little hope Of a renewal Of life, and the
place was about becoming resigned to q
premature death, when all at once new
prospects Of the most cheering charac
ter opened up. The indianapolis and
Cincinnati Junction Railroad pushed q
branch from Connersville through Cam
bridge, to Newcastle. The Indianapolis
and Cincinnati built the White Water
Valley road, running through Cambridge
to Hagerstown. Both these roads pass
the Chicago and Great Eastern, sciN d.
rert from Richmond, nearly If not quite, all
the trade of Northern Indiana, and Mrosc 1t
through Cambridge. The Jacksonville
railroad is extending a branch from
Rusbville to Cambridge, and will thence
continue it on to Union City,, at which
point connection will undoubtedly be
made with the Portland d Union, which
extending on to Fort Wayne, will con
solidate with the Grand Rapids 4 In
diana. e 59uB1 ih9i9ei q ~ FssI y
Thus it will be seen that the prospects
are that Cambridge City will soon become
one of the greatest railroad centers in
Indiana Over the old Indiana Central
it communicates with indianapolis and
Columbus, and thence over other lines
with all westward and, eastward points,
Through the Jeffersonville extension it
reaches Louisville and all points South,
and via Union City, reaches Fort Wayne
and the extreme north of Michigan 1t
has direct route to Chicago over the
Chicago & G reat Eastern, and two com
peting routes--the Whitewater Valley
and the indianapolis & Cincinnati juno
ton to Cincinnati. aa@-.

deriving profit from horsefesh. He keeps some two
hundred fowls, which the latest in the country,
owing to the way in which he feeds them. Every
week he buys two or three dead horses, which he
cuts up and boils. The broth is given to his pigs,
that seem to enjoy this novel soup very WELL and thrive
admirably upon it. The meat that has been used for
the broth is hashed and given to the fowl, aud what
remains of the horses is sold to the reners
who convert it into lampbIack. The eggs of his fowls
he sends over to England, realizing six confines apiece
for them, and the fowls go the same way when they
are done laying eggs.

TIE work of trans lanting full grown trees is no
novelty, 1t being of very common in Eng

We have seen it performed repeatedly, is to have
heavy two-wheeled truck with massive bea pole,

roots OF the tree cut around to leave large
ball of earth attached, the machine is wheeled up,
lifted to perpendicular position and bound firmly to
the tree and by rope at the end of the beam it is
brought to nearly horizontal position, when it is
drawn to the desired spot where hole has been dug
to receive it.. The guide rope being slowly loosened,
the weight of the roots brings the up standing,
