FLAW vORING EX TRACT S .
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES
QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED.

We beg leave respectfully to call the attention
OF the public to our Superior Flayoring Extracts.
AS ten years have now elapsed since we mrs. IN
troduced them to the notice OF the American pup
lie, we deem 1t unnecessary at present to enter
into lengthy description OF their merits, &c.
There is hardly a city or town OF any note In the
country into which they have not found their
and daily Increasing demand Is owing entirely to
their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth.
Being determined to make them the Standard E1.
tracts of the day, we have still further improved
lieyc that they stand without rival. Our Vanilla
Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and
(lecacy OF flavor. 1t Is strictly pure and nigh.
ly concentrated Extract Of Vanilla Beans. In
short we think it the best that is made, at least,
this Is the decision Of the best judges In the coun-
try. We don't pretend to compete IN price Win
many Of the so-called Flavoring Extracts OF tne
day, which are really but worthless compounds,
undeserving Of the name.
For quality and STYLE we defy competition.

LEGISLATIVE.
Statistics Of the legislatures Of the Vsrl-
Gus States of the Uaien.

The Legislatures OF the following
States are now in full blast: Maine,
Vermont, Massachusetts, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Min
nesOta, Missouri, Tennessee, Ken
tueky, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia and LOuisiaua-fifteen
A table Just furnished to the Legi3-
lature of Massachusetts by the Secre-
tiFy of the Commonwealth, showing
the length Of the legislative sessions in
all the States except Nevada, presents
some interesting facts. 1t appears
that in four States the system of pay
ing by the session prevails, and the
length of the sessions in these States
are respectively iurty-Gve, sixty
seven, one hundred and two and
tiity-eight dayS-an average for the
four of sixty-eight days. There
are nineteen States which have
annual sessions, and the average du-
ration is nearly seyenty-seYen days.
The average length Of sessions in the
seventeen States, the Legislatures in
which meet only once IN two years, Is
ninety-eight days; bgt e TIE excep-
tiOuai case Of Ohio We're excluded, the
q 9-eS.. "ONlA 70 OiA+g IVY CulS 'Cit, A4I
days. Five States adopt a system of
reducing the pay after a certain pc
riod, Or cutting it or altogether. IN
Illinois the session exceeded the pre-
scribed period by twenty-five days;
in Kansas, one day; in New Jersey,
forty-One days; in Oregon, two days;
in New 1ork5 tTenty-siE days. The
device does not seem to have been
successful; but the reason may be that
in the three States which show a large
excess above the limited team, men,
bers depend upon other perguisites
than their per diem allowance.
The largest daily and aggregate
pay to members Is in California, $40 a
day, anG $1200 in all. The other ex-
treme is taken by Rhode Island,
which allows ally 81 a DAY, OF eh5 for
the year pa5tD each member. 1t is
not little curious that fourteen
States, excluding Tennessee, which
pays 81 in gold, give their members
less than s. a day. The average dur
alton Of sessions 10 these States is fifty
eight and oge-half days. Leaving
out of the account those which pay a
fixed sum, there are eighteen States
which give s. a day and upwards.
In these the average length Of sessions
IS one hundred and thirteen and one
half days. The average for the thir-
ty-six States is eighty-seVeE days.

Natures Mysteries Revealed.

The Essex Marshes, near London.
are now being excavated, for the pur-
pose of forming reservoirs, 150 acres
in extent, to be used by the East Lon
don Water Works Company, which
draws its supplies from the river Lea.
The excavations, it is stated, furnish
important information in reference to
the geological changes Of the surface
of this part Of Great Britain. The
Essex marshes formed part of the
Walthamst0W forest, which in 11j4
abOUnded IN wolves, wild bOars, stays.
and Wild bulls. The cuttings exhibit
In succession, turf, olaygy loan, two
feet deep, peat beds three feet thick,
and Iilied with hazel nuts, and oak
and alder timber. Next comes a line
Of white marley matter, formed of
small shells in myriads, and with Oc-
casiOnal bCGe5 lf fishes, bird and land
animals long extinct in Great Britain.
The traces Of man in bronze, iron and
bone weapons and ornaments, and
various vessels of antique pottery.
From the underlying gravel, bones of
the mammoth, Of a gigantic deer and
of the wild bull, have been extracted.
The eycaVati1n5 also show how beds
Of iron ore are formed by means Of
the percolation of water. The iron,
held in solution, is deposited upon
vegetable matter, encrusting the roots
and twigs with oxides, and the pro-
cess goes on until tAe mineral super
sedes the vegetable, and q ball of iron
is formed, TO commence with others,

How the Railroad Debt Of The State Is 10 be
LiqaidaIed.

The following important measure,
which originated in our State House
Of Representatives, synopsis Of
which we gave editorially on Thurs
day morning, is now law;
An Act to provide for the payment OF the
state debt.
SECTION /. BE Il enacted 6y the Gen
eral assembly Of The State Of Tennessee,
That an act entitled "An act TO liqui-
date the State debt contracted in aid
of railroad companies in the State Of
Tennessee" /" passed February ., 1869,
be. and the same is hereby amended
so as to allow any railroad company
which may be indebted to the State
by reason Of the bOnus of the State
loaned to said railroad companies, to
pav into the State in liquidation of
the principal OF said indebtness any of
the legally issued six per cent. bonds
of the Stale of Tennessee outstanding,
without regard to series or number.
And such payment shall, to the extent
made, be full and perfect discharge
of the lien which the State holds upon
the property of such railroad company
held bv virtue of the bonds OF the
State issued to such railroad company,
whether they be the same bonds or
the same series of bonds issued to said
company under the act passed tebru
ary IL, 1852, and acts amendatOry
thereof.
See. >. Be Il further enacted, That
railroad companies issuing their own
mortgage bonds under the provisions
of the act which this is intended TO
amend, be allowed to fix the rate of
interest which said bonds Of the rail
road companies are to bear, and to fix
the time Of their maturity, and all
laws IN conflict are hereby repealed;
Pr0Cidsd, that when said railroad
companies owe interest already due,
,;,;annns past due shall be taken by
the C0mptrOller or Treasurer In dis
charge Of such Indebtedness for iu-
terest
sec. 3. Be Il further enacted, Thas
when any company, under the pro-
visions Qf this act, shah pay into the
treasury of the Ssate, bonds which
have been issued by the State to said
company, the said bonds shall be can
celed, but should any company in dis
charge of its own debt pay into the
treasury any bonds that were issued
to other companies, that may still be
indebted to the State, such bonds so
paid IN shall not be Cancelled, but snail
be held by the State as purchased
bonds, retaining a lien for the State
upon the road TO which said bonds
we're originally issued, until the debt
Of said road to the State shall be fully
discharged, when the bonds 50 held
shall be cancelled; Pr0sided, that the
provisions of this act shall not be so
Constructed q TO show the payment
and satisfaction of debts created by
bonds indOrsed by the State, and upon
which the State is secondarily liable;
nor to the payment Of the sinking
fund now required by law OF the rail-
road companies of this State.
SEC. /. % II .fiGriheF e60ttsd, That
this act shall take effect from and after
its passage.

EPISCOPAL.
Reciprocity Of FavOrs from the PresbYte-
fIals Of Kentucky.

The Louisville SIM Of a recent date,
SAYS: The General Assembly portion
Of the Presbyterians at ElizabethtOwn
being without any house of worship,
made application 10 Bishops Smith
and Cummins for the use Of Christ's
Church, (EpiscOpaD. Both of the
Bishops said they had no power in
the matter, but WOuld warmly APP
prove the action of the vestry there
should they consent to the proposition.
The venerable Bishop Smith said:
"There is no law or general custom
of the Episcopal Church which would
hinder the granting Of your request,
and certainly the law Of Christ, which
is the law of love. should incline US
all, if not more, yet at least as much
as doing to others as we would that
they should do unto US.
Speaking of the matter, Bishop
Cummins says: 81 shall De most hap
py to give my appreciation to the 8c-
ton Of the vestry of Christ's Church,
at ElizabethtoWn, in granting the use
of the church building. We are con-
stantly in receipt of such favors from
your churches, and l shall be glad to
be able in this case to reciproeate."
The yestry have kindly and cheer
fully granted the use of the church
building, and there was preaching
there last Sunday by Rev. Samuel
Williams.

THE RED RIVER REBELLION.

TORONTO, January ga dispatch
from Pembina Of the 10th inst, and
St. Cloud, Mimi, Dist inst, to the
Globe, contains the following article
from the Nec Nation, the organ OF the
insurgents, published AT Fort Gayny:
Something As TO our policy viii be
expected rom Us in this number, if
we proceed briefly to define our posi-
ton. In common with the majority
of settlements, we regard the Hudson
Bay COmpany's GOvernment as ObsO-
lete and never to be resuScit2ted. The
Dominion Government, by its crimi-
nal blunders and gross injustice to its
people, have forever qlienated them,
and by its forfeiture Of ali, either re-
eeiving or permitting its protection 70
the Imperial Government, we conSld-
er TO be too far distant intaliigently to
administer our AFFAIR." The question
arises, what form of government Is
best adapted for the development Of
this country, and Ee reply unhesitat-
ingiy that the United States Republic
offers to-day that system Of govern
ment which would best promote order
and progress in our midst, ana open
up rapidly a country Of magnificent
resources, but in our present depend
ent condition we will hold il TO be our
duty 10 advocate Independence Tor the
people OF Red River as 2 present cure
for public ills. Oar annexation ig the
United States will follow in time, ana
bring wits u advantages this land 50
much requires.

A MunifCsnt Project.

Mr.. James Lenox, OF Fifth avenue,
New York, proposes to bestOw a splen-
did gift upon that city in the form Of
Il public library, and a bill has been
introduced into She State Legislature
to enable him to execute his design
The bill is to give an act of incOrpO-
ration to the LenOX Library. The
generous donor proposes to furnish a
lot of land and give three hundred
thousand dollars, or any larger sum
that may be needed, for the erection
of the building. In addition, he will
hand over to the trustees his entire
collection of statuary, paintings and
books as beginning for the library,
and he declares that no further sums
of money shall be withheld that may
he demanded to make it the finest IL
brary in the country. His own libra
ry is said to be the most valuable pri-
vate collection in the United States.
The muniicent spirit Of Mr.. I-enox is
also illustrated in the Presbyterian
Hospital, now in course of erection in
New York at cost of one million
dollars.
