Mr.. JAMES offered the following:
Whereas the chief staple Of farm pro-
duce of the State Of Virginia is wheat.
Time and experience has proved that Vir.
ginia produces the best barrel of flour in
the known world; its character for sound
ness, sweetness, wilderness, and richness;
its yield per acre and at mill its value in
tropical markets greater than from any
other record, and is an incentive to en-
courage its increased production, which is
of paramount importance to the prosperity
of the State; and whereas the WORKOUT
lands of Virginia are not in fit state to
produce an aggregate crop of wheat-the
practice of stimulating, by the use Of
guano (which, as fertilizer, will soon be
exhausted, is detracting materially from
the quality and profits Of the best cereal
and that it is indispensable to the pros
perity of the State that the WORKOUT
lands should be brought up to q properan
scientific fertility of the soil, SO that the
cereal should be produced in its full ma
tural perfection; and which, when accom-
plished, all vegetables can, in like manner,
be grown which is indigenous or Injured to
the climate. s Is

BOWdOin College.

Maine paper says:-"Dr Leonard Woods,
eX-President OF Bowdoin College, arrived home
on Saturday, after sojourl in Europe of fifteen
months, which he has devoted to researches re-
lating 10 American history. The Doctor went
abroad, intending to examine the questions in
which the Maine Historical Society have spe-
cial interest-the facts relating to the Pophem
Colony, the Gorges and Mason settlements-and
he had an arrangement to that effect with the
executive committee of the society. He soon,
however, found himself drawn into a larger and
less explored field, that of the early disco.
yeries on the northern coast from the time
of the Nonhmen. In this he received
especial assistance from j. G. Kohl, libra
rian of the city of Berlin, wto is the most
skilled person known in early American
cartography. Mr.. Kohl was once employed by
our Government in this special work but from
want OF an appropriation by Congress- his labors
have not been made available. The executive
committee of the Maine Historical Society,"
learning the views of DR.. Woods, aud having In
their control an annual appropriation from the
State, authorized him to employ Mr.. Eohl to
prepare reduced copies of twenty-five of the
more important of these early MAPS with pro-
per eXplications, for the first volume of the new
documentary collections of the society. MIR.
Kohl ente' ed upon the work with zeal, and
before DR.. Woods left Germany had nearly
completed it. Dr. Woods has also found many
valuable documents, hitherto unknown, re-
la,ipg to the early period OF discovery, of which
no has obtained copies. Among Others the
lorg.lost paper drawn up by Hackluyt from
material furnished by Sir Walter Raleigh

An Insurance AnecdOte.

A New York letter in western paper has this
item:-
Two years ago met Californian, who was
blown up on the steamer Yosemite, on the
Sacramento river, some time about the year
1865. You remember the accident, Que OF the
worst OF its kind, forty or fifty persons being
killed and half as many severely injured. My
acquaintance, H., was asleep in his room when
the explosion occurred, and was thrown some
two hundred feet into the middle of the river,

in the water. 1t is hardly necessary to say that

A Geographical Popularity.

Captain t. o. White, OF the Ordnance Survey
Ollce In Edinburgh, writes to the London Athe-
RGUn:-
''Ihe following notice of a very rare topogra-
phlcal feature may be Interesting to your geo
graphical readers, more especially as some, |
believe, have been inclined to question the
possibility OF such a. connguraton of ground.
1t IS an instance of q stream near its source
DIVIDING into two courses at main water shed
ana thence taking opposite sides of this water
shed, discharging by the double outlet into two
distinct systems of drainage. The feature occars
lew miles from Comre, in Perthshre, at the
mead OF Glen Lednock, a tributary of the river

CURIOUS PHENOMENA.
Observations OF the ErOnaut, M. FIam-

Observations OF the IErOnaut, M. FIam-
marion.
In a communication addressed 10 the Paris
Academy OF Sciences, NJ. Flammarion gives an
account OF the phenomena he observed during a
late scientific ascent in an all balloon. As regards
sound, he states that its intensity is propagated
10 considerable height in the atmosphere.
Thus, he heard the whistle OF a steam engine at
an altitude OF 5000 metres; the noise of rail way
train passing, at $500 metres: the barking
of dogs, at 1900 metres; the report of a
gun, the same the cries OF a large crowd, the
growing of cocks, and the noise of bells, at
1900 metres; the sound of drums and the
music of an orchestra, at l400 metres; the rum
bling Of carriages on a stone pavement, at 1900
metres; the human voice at 1000 metres tive
eighths OF mile); the CrOaking OF frogs at 900;
ana the chirping OF a cricket at 800 metres. Iii
not so in the case OF a descending sound; 'or the
voice OF the ronaut at an altitude OF 100 metres,
cannot make itself heard distinctly. The clouds
offer no impeachment TO an ascending sound.
The average velocity per second in the latter
case is about $40 metres. The quiet
upward. While the balloon moves in
obedience TO the current its shadow sweeps
either the earth or the clouds. 1t is generally
black, but ii sometimes happens that, falling on
a darker spot than Itself, 1t assumes rather
luminous appearance. In this case, examined
through telescope it is found TO consist of a
dark central nucleus surrounded by luminous
penumbra. On the green trees o. forest 1t
appears yellow. On the clouds, when they are
white, and at the moment OF issuing again into
the pure sky with the sun shining, the air bal.
loon is minutely depicted with all its details,
and of greyish hue. When it has reached an
altitude OF three thousand metres, the sky ap-
pears dark and impenetrable, in proportion as
there is dimlnutlon of moisture. Tue light Of
the rising sun appears TO penetrate through
every terrestrial object while that OF the moon,
which is always red, seems only TO glide over
them.
