U SEAT

Several localities in the State are
agitated over the question of the re-
moval of the county seat" In Bel
mont county the Bellaire people wish
TO change the county business from
st. C~lairsville to Bellaire. In Maho-
ming county the rivals for court house
glory are Garfield and Youngstown.
A few days since a petition, said to
contain 100 names, was presented
asking that the question of removal
may be submitted to q vote of the
people of Mahoning. RESPONSIVENESS
are being signed to offset the petition.
For a week or more the youngstown
interest has been represented here by

the fate Of the question before the

will have been gained towards secur-

THE INVENTION or AN ATLANTA
GENTLEMAN

Mr.. S. P. Campbell, the son of one of
our Atlanta citizens, says the Constttu-
ton, has invented very remarkable
scientific instrument, the Tellnrion. 1t
shows the operation of the causes which
produce the succession OF day and night,
and the changes of the seasons, and it
must become ofgeneral use in the schools
and colleges. 1t has cost in time and
money $4,000 to bring it to its perfec-
ton. In Hartford, Conn, a company
has been organized to manufacture it,
called the Tellurian Manufacturing Com
pany. The proprictors are protected
by over forty patents.
Tho following extract will give some
idea of the wonders of the instrument:
1t is believed to be the only tcllurion
ever made, which presents the move
Jments of our earth and moon precisely
as they arc in nature. The earth is seen
to travel, not as in most exhibitions OF
the omery, or planetarium, in a circle,
but in the eclipse which its orbit actual
y describes. A day circle adds to the
interest of the machine, and there is pro-
vision by which the beholler may see
when it is noon in any part of the earth,
and also when the sun is faster or slower
than our time. The whole is an object
of deep interest, and calculated to invite
long study. 1t shows with beautiful
precision, at glance, the great move
mcnts of our world which produce day
night, and also the changing seasons of
the year, as one tropic or the other is
presented directly to the solar rays, and
the polar regions rccede into, or emerge
from, their winter shadow.
One sees how much nearer we are to
the sun, in the shortest days of winter,
than at any other time and can also see
how it is that, although three millions of
miles nearer the great source of light.
heat and life, we find his beams in winter
shorn of so great proportion Of their
power compared to the June days when
we were farthest from him. The de-
crease or increase of the angle at which
the rays reach us explain all. The
movements of the moon are also clearly
shown-its exact revolutions, its cross
ing of the path of the earth, and the
striking effect of the attraction of the
sun, and again of the earth, on our sat-
elite in its monthly journey.

HOW TO JUDGE BOOKS.

Concerning books, Southey wrote as
follows; Would you know whether the
tendency Of a book is good or evil, ox-
anime in what state of mind you lay it
down. ITasit induced you to suspect
that what you have been accustomed to
think unlawful, nay, after ALL be inno-
cent, and that may be harmless which
you have hitherto been taught to think
dangerous Has it tended to make you
dissatisfied and impatient under the con-
troll of others, and disposed you to relax
in that self-govcrnment, without which
both the laws OF God and man tell us
there can be no virtue and consequently
no happiness? Has it attempted to
abate your admiration and reverence
for what is great and good, and to d.
minioh in you the love Of your country
and your fellow creatures
Has it addressed itself to your pride,
your vanity, your selfshncss, or any of
your evil propcnsitics ? Has it deiiled
the imagination with what is loath3omc,
or shocked the heart with what is mon
strous? Has it disturbed the sense of
right and wrong which the Creator has
implanted in the human soull IT So
if you are conscious Of all or any of these
cffccts-or if, having escaped from all,
you have felt that such were the effects,
it was intended to produce, throw the
book into the fire, whatever name it may
bear in tie title page Throw it in the
fire, young man, though it should have
been the gift of friend young lady,
away with the whole set, though it should
be the prominent furniture Of a rosewood
bookcase.

SOCIABILITY.

Sociability is an element Of great util-
ity in every community. 1t awakens
and keeps awake, warm and generous
mutual sympathics among the people,
and binds them together as no statutory
law can. Statutory law cannot make
men think and feel alike, nor can it har-
monize their conflicting preiudices and
sentiments. The most that it can do is
to prescribe what shall or shall not be
done, and provide for the punishment OF
such as violate its high behests. The
law of socia5ility, which belongs in com
mon to our race, and which runs through
all the Iabyrnths of human society, is
in itself, a vast moral power, and is al
ways working out good or evil results,
accordig as it is used or abused. 1t is
resortcd to for the noblcst and for the
vilcst purposes.
Among men of responsibility and hon
or, the exhibition of polished and rciin-
ed social qualities, is justly esteemed
a virtue and any community noted for
intelligent, warmheartcd and gentleman
Iy sociabilty, will acquire for itself a
popularity and influence as such, which it
could not otherwise possess. And what
is true in these respects OF a community,
is even moro maniicstIy true of individ-
uas
True and proper sociability does not
seek to oblterate just distinctions, or
bring all classes on the social level, but it
accords to the humblcst the considcra-
ton and respect which is due, and which
without obtrusivcness, is careful in its
bcstowmcnt of attentions upon strangers.
PoIitness carries with its own reward.
Try it, We growing, snarliog, swapping
ones, and sec fyc are not wiser and hap
pier in less than week.

TIE CAT.-Thc cat is an animal which
is used to catch mice and will sometimes
watch hole two days till she ketches
him dogs will also catch mice but the

A RIVAL OF "SHoo FLY."-A new
and popular air, which is both comical
and nonscnsical, is now all the rage up
on the streets of London and is sung
with as much relish and gushcs from as
many hundred Threats each hour as the
''Shoo Fly" song could ever boast. The
song is perfect "Sec s0ic,' and is some
thing on the style of a word puzzle.
Here is one verse as a sample:

In fact we all three saw,
For saw E-au he saw me-
Aud she saw saw Esau.

+. Pearl of Spoford, leading citizen and
prominent merchant of Deer Island, commit
ted suicide on Thursday Of last week, by
jumping off the wharf. The Camden Herald
says he had previously gone to his store and
deposited his money and papers in the safe !;
then going cut, he deliberately tied stone
to his neck to insure sinking, and threw him
self into the water. Mr.. Spofford was in
afiuent circumstances, and regarded as an
upright, religious man, a member of the Con-
gregational church; but his physical condi-
ton had been such for some time as to lead
to the fear among his friends that his active
brain would be unsettled, and it seems the
worst fear has been realized.
