OF your Safes in that fire. also several in the fire at
Sixth and Commerce Streets the next May, five
weeks afterwards, all OF which upon being opened
proved they were nre-proOf indeed for l witnessed

the contents were preserved, while Safes of other

The French Atlantic Cable continues
to do it's work we'll. 1t is operated by
means Of the instruments most recent
ly invented to communicate DELICATE
signals with the least expenditure OF
electromagnetic fluid. TLps il is as.
serted that the ocean wire is not con-
nected with an ordinary telegraph 10
strument, but is attached to q condens.
er. This condenser consists Of two
metallic plates, separated from each
other BY about the two hundredth part
of an inch, one being soldered " the
cable and the other to the wire con-
Meeting with the speaking or receiving
instrument 80 that when the electric
signal arrives at the cablr plate it ex'
erts an influence upon the spesking the
plate but does not pass to it Mr.
Cromwell Farley, the inventor Of the
instrument, states that induction Of
the condenser enables the operator to
work by the increment and decrelnenl
ofthc electric charge, and not by the
electric current itself The nd, antages
OF this pe.hod are that by its use the
disturbing influences Of earth currents
are avo ided and the transmission and
reading of messages is increased and
facilitated.

The towR Of Stockport, pear H"d

siderable excitement last week, on &C.
count ola gigantic Land slide. Inc
place where the phenomenon occurred
is located on the old post road near
the confluence of the Undertook ana
Claversek creeks, about five miles north
fthe city. 1t comprises nearly fve
acres, and was on all elevation above
q dry ravine. A hill intervenes between
this ravine and the creek on the cast
and north of a little less than the alti-
tude of that which caved ip. The
crash took place about $50 last Mon
day afternoon. The movement was
very gradual, and the surface OF the
earth undulated, like the waves OF the
ocean. No uoise was heard until the
moving mass struck the base OF the in
tervening hill, when there was dull
rumbling sensation, like slightshock
of earthquake. The earth caved in to
distance of eighty feet and the surface
as indicated by trees and fences, moved
a distance Of six hundred feet. So
gradual was the movement that it oc-
cupied about half an hour, and the
sight is described by those who wit
messed 1t as sublime in the extreme
Among the ruost marked incidents Of
the phenomenon is the fact that an oak
tree, BY the roadside was moved with
section of the fence to the bottom Of the
rav;nc, distance of six hundred feet
and the tree and fence now stand as
firm and upright as ever. The weaker
trees such as pine and hemlock, were
snapped like pipe-stems, and some
trees Of this nature, two feet or moro
in diameter are doubled and twisted

quicksand has been gradually washed
away from beneath and passed off intc

and the dry weather which FOLLOWED
caused this shell to crack and finall,
