No good idea can be given to the read
er of the locks and their operation, but
few general'remarks may be of interest,"
The first door has one of Dobb's Eureka
locks; there is no key-hole for this, and
the outside combination wheel is divided
into the letters of the alphabet, the nine
units, and fractions of figures. The COM
binations which may be made by this ar
rangement are endless, and no one can
open the lock, showing back the bolts, I'M
less be knows the words, figures and frac.
tions which have been used in locking the
daor.
Even if a person was so fortunate as to
get from Mr.. Birdsall the combination, he
must have an extensive acquaintance with
the lock t. know how to manipulate it
correctly. The second door contains an
Isham lock, which is altogether different
from Dobb's lock. The third door has L.
Gales Monitor lock, and the fourth door
contains Gales double Treasury locks
From one of these doors, after it has been
fastened, a portion of the lock is taken off,
and put under lock and key in some Sc
cret place. Without this it would be use
less to attempt to get into the safe.
The second vault is much larger than
the first one described, but just as diff
cult to get into. There are one hundred
and twenty cases in this room where gold
can be put and sealed up. At the time
we looked into the vault there were ninety
tons, or forty-fve millions of dollars in
gold slowed in the room, and twenty mil
lions in paper. The greenbacks, as they
are paid irto the Treasury, are put up in
packages of one thousand bills each, all of
the same denomination. A package of
one dollar bills contains one thousand dol
lars; of five dollar bills, five thousand
dollars of five hundred dollar bills, five
hundred Thousand dollars.
La one small box were shown six small
packages, each OF which contained one
million of dollars. Money is handled in
the Treasury building in wholesale man.
ner, packing trunks standing about full of
it, large willow baskets on wheels being
used to carry it in, &c. The sight of it
becomes so common that the clerks en-
ployed regard it with the utmost indffer-
ence, handling it as they would so much
brown paper.
The vestibule Of the second vault is
called the book vault, and contains the
cancelled obligations of the United States,
ton or two of paymaster's checks. All
these books and checks are carefully pre-
served. -N. Y Gazette.

The Susquehanna.

The following Interesting historical
sketch of the Susquohanna River is from
tho Lycoming (Pa.) Standard:
IF there be a more beautiful spot on
earth than that where the men of Paxton
settled we have never seen it. From its
source in Otsego Lake, where the great
American novelist has described it in Ian
guage that will never cease to be read !;
along by its lovely windings, where tn 0
Chemung intersects the North Branch,
whose beauties have been embalmed BY
one of our most graceful poets by the
Valley of Wyoming, which lives forever in
the imagination of Campbell, but which is
fairer even than the semi-tropical fancy
of which he was enamored 90 by the
bold scenery of the meeting Of its waters
at Northumberland, to its broad glory,
celebrated in the New Pastoral, and its
magnificent union with the Chesapeake,
every mile of the Susquehanna is beauti,
full. Other rivers have their points of
loneliness or of grandeur, the Susque-
hanna has every form OF beauty or sub
Unity that belongs to rivers. We have
seon them all Connecticut, Hudson,
Delaware, Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri -
There is nothing like the Susquehanna on
this continent. Its peculiar character de-
pepds upon its origin in the New York
meadows, its passage through the mag.
nifcent Pennsylvania highlands and
mountains. Everywhere its course is de-
fiected it begins wooded lake !; it winds
limpid brook by meadows and over sill
yer pebbles makes its way through
mountains it loiters, restingly, by their
bases it sweeps in broad courses by the
valleys its vast width, in its mad spring
freshets, when swollen by the melted
SHOWS, it rushes from the Lills with ire
sistible force, sometimes causing frighttul
foundations, leaves, with its falls, island
after island in its channel, Of the richest
green, and most surprising beauty while
those passes through the mountains afford
points OF scenery far finer than any one
would believe them to be from any de-
scription, if he had not seen them.
The Susquehauna makes the grandest
of these passages below the mouth of the
Juniata. Its course there is several miles
long, before it entirely disengages itself
from the rapids, called Hunters Falls,
which are the remains of the rocky barri-
err which once resisted its way. Entirely
at liberty, it pours its stream, mile wide,
along channel some fifty or sixty feet
beneath its bank. About seven miles
below the mountains, at point where
they look blue in the distance, SHELTER
ing wall from the northern blasts, flows in
little stream which the Indians called
Pexetang, Paixtapg, or Paxton. This
mountain is the northern boundary Of the
great valley, which, underlaid with blue
limestone, covered originally with the
richest and noblest torest-growth, and in
Guiding within it the garden of all the At.
lantic SLOPE, extends from Easton, on the
Delaware, by Reading, Lebanon and Ian
caster, by Harrisburg, York and Carlisle,
by Chambersburg, Hagerstown and Win
chester, until it loses itself in the North
Carolina hills. The point of the creates,

beauty in all that valley, is the spot where
it is cloven by the Susquehanna.
A hundred and forty years ago, an en-
terprising young man, from Yorkshire, in
England, by descent, probably, one of
those Scandinavians, who, under the great
Canute, held possession of the north Of
England, and gave its main character to it,
made his way to Philadelphia. He mar.
ried here lady who came over with a
well-known Yorkshire family of this city.
Impelled by the same enterprising spirit
that brought him from the old world, and
using the inevitable eye that was charac-
teristic of him, he went to the banks of
the Susquehanna. He settled for brief
period at point above Columbia, where
the village Of Bainbridge now stands, a
place much frequented by the Conoy or
Gawanese Indians. But he was not sat.
isfed with this location. Exploring up.
wards along the eastern bank of the Sus-
quehanna, he advanced, until, instead of
the Conewaga hill at his back and on the
opposite side of the river, he found the
the entrance opposite to him of that most
beautiful valley, already described, with
two fine streams flowing into the river FIVE
miles apart, and on the eastern side an
elevated plateau unsurpassed in loneliness
in the wide world, with the little Paxton
flowing at the base of an elevated slope or
ridge of land. Here he settled, and the
ferry across the river to the entrance of
the Cumberland Valley was called after
him.
His son, the first white child born west
of the Conewaga hills, subsequently laid
out town on the spot and with singular
forethought set apart six acres on noble
hill which rises on the northwest, which
he conveyed to the State for public pur-
poses. The capitol Of Pennsylvania is
now built upon it, and the city of Harris.

r A MAN THROWN EIGHTY FEET INTO
THE AIR.-The Appleton Wis., Cres-
cent gives us an account Of the killing of
Christian Trussell, in the woods, in Dale,
Outagamie county, by most singular and
terrific accident, as follows It appears
that party of men were in the woods
with him cutting fallow, and where they
were chopping two large trees had been
felled-one across the .other--the one on
top balancing nearly. The man who was
killed was chopping near these trees, and,
another party, having large tree ready
to bring down, hailed him to look out
when he ran and stood on the balancing
tree to see the other come down. The
men then brought the tree to the ground,
which struck the other end of the tres ON
which Trussell was standing and the
tremendous weight of it coming upon the
spring lever threw him like shot up
wards of eighty feet In coming down
one of his legs from the knee to the hip
was shattered to atoms and the back Of
his head was stove in. He came down
head first. He was taken up with some
life in him but soon expired. He leaves
family of four fatherless and motherless
children.

BEAUTY OF IRISH WoMEN.-Mons.
Felip Belly, one Of the writer's of the
Constitutionele, having made tour
through Ireland last summer, pronounces
the following eulogium upon the women
Of the country: "The most remarkable
element, the richest, and certainly the
most full Of life, of this land so life full, 10
the population itself. No European race,
that Of the Caucasus excepted, can com.
pete with it in beauty. The Irish blood
is blood of a purity and distinction, es-
pecially among the females, which strikes
all strangers with establishment. The
transparent wilderness of the skin, the alb
sorbing attraction, which, in France, is
but the attribute of one wonder in thou
sand, is here the general type. The
daughter of the poor man, as we'll as the
fine lady, possesses an opal milky tint, the
arms of statue, the foot and hand of
a duchess, and the bearing of queen
In the most wretched streets of the olden
quarters of Dublin, the most ideal tint
ings of the pencil would grow pale before
the beauty Of the children; and in the
compact crowd which each day occupies
the footpatbs of Merton Square, there is
certainly the most magnificent collection
of human beings it is possible to meet
Blondes With black eyes, and brunettes
with blue, are by no means rare. The
race is as strong as it is handsome, as
vigorous as it is charming The girls Of
Connemara, with their queenly shoulders
and eyes Of fire, would put TO shame, at
this day, those daughters of the East from
whom they are said to have descended"

A SUBTERRANEAN City DISCOVERED
IN CENTRAL AsIA.-Foreign journals re-
port that subterranean city has been dis
covered in the vicinity of Fort No. l, on
Sir Darya River in Turkistan. Kirghis-
tan settlers havisg undertaken to furnish
bricks to Major YUM, the Russian COM
mandant at the fort, brought him such
curious specimens Of the required article
that he was led to inquire whence they
had procured them. On their taking him
to the place, the existence of subterra-
mean city Of vast extent was soon appar-
ept to the astonished Russians. The
place seems to have been originally built
on the Lake Avel, but by the receding Of
the water is now at some distance from
it's shores, and in the course of time has
been covered up by sand and alluvial de-
posits. Whether it belongs to the ancient
Parthian, or, comparatively speaking,
modern Dahungarian period of Turanian
history, has not yet been ascertained.. A
A guard has been stationed on the spot to
protect the mysterious city from depreda-
tions, until the arrival of further orders
