A remarkable letter to Professor Peirce. of
the National Observatory in this city, from Pro
lessor Agassiz, who recently sailed from Boston
on an expedition to the southern hemisphere to
take deeP-sea soundings, has been published
The well-known opposition of Professor Agassiz
to the Darwinian theory finds expression in this
curious letter, i'm the following passage:
a. IL there il, As / believe to be the case plan
according 10 which the afinit;es among animal.
and the order of their succession in time were
determined from the beginning, and If that plan
u reflected in the mode OF growth, and in the
geographical distribution of all living beings: or
in other words, III this world of ours Is the work
of Intelligence, and not merely the product OF
force and matter, the human mind, as a part of
the whole, should ~ chime with il that from
what Is known, IL may reach the unknown; and
II this be 81, the amount OF information thus far
gathered should, within the limits of errors
which the impcrfecti"n of orr knowledge rem
we are likely to hn,f i'm the deepest ADVISES of
The sea from which thus far nothing has been
secured"
The Professor then goes on to prophecy speci
hcslly what kind of animals whose existence il
as yet unknown will be discovered i'm the seas 10
be explOred also what proofs of his own theory
II the glacial period viii be found. OF course
ii ali turns out a. he expects. he will be con-
hrmed in his views antagonistic to the teyelop-
ment theory. He has some natural anxiety as to
the result, aud speaks OF the letter as ga doom
ment which may be very compromising to me-

Water,

Itbromes onr duty at this time to
.capshe attention of cur Ridgway read
is to the subject of water; believing it
will be of interest to them. 1t is well
known to all that we have one of the
fiucst springs Of the best water in the
world, which, if properly confined and
economized would supply "A town OF
10000 inhabitants, but at present it is
allowed to run to waste. There appears
to be two reason why every man has net
supply of water at his door. The
first aud principle one is the want of a
reservoir of sufficient capacity to hold
tho water, and, second, the want of a
main pipe large enough to convey the
water to the town. Now, we have heard
several suggestions made in regard to
the manner in which this can be done,
but tde one that appear to fill the order
Is this: Let u company be organized
and chartered, with sufficient power to
build reservoirs, lay pipes, and supply
each family with water; this company
TO issue shares, emitting each man that
buys a share to a supply of water.
Those that DO not buy shares, aud are
supplied with water, to be taxed in pro-
portion to the amount received. Again
there appears to be, in the minds of
some, doubt as to the legal title OF
this water privilege, but, if they will
fake the trouble Of going to the pro-
thonotary's Office and looking in Mis-
cellaueous book A, page $50, they will
find deed recorded, giving to the
County Commissioners, the privilege Of
using said water for the use Of the
county building aud the benefit of the
public generally. If this matter be
taken bold of, and water works 10 Ridg-
way become reality, it can be SO ar
ranged that in case Of fire any part of
the town can be flooded with water.
This will have the effect Of making in
surauce cheaper and will be blessing
which can not be overestmated. We
urge upon our citizens the necessity Of
taking steps in this matter at once.

bore a banner inscribed, Il, for in

said, fKorrect, my friend, 1 see you

heard a step coming down the street
and tur ming saw Messenger approach

and smile illumined his countenance.
The presence at my side greeted him
warmly, Welcome, Messenger, welcome
to the home of honest men, though you
weigh but sixteen ounces to the pound.
You have been read out of the ring in
time-enter. BOTH We followed him
into the house. On every side was
light; beautiful flowers pleased the
eye; ripe fruits were piled around and
fountains with jets of rose water cooled
and perfumed the air. Pointing to
luxurious seats our guide exclaimed,
Rest weary brethren, all here is yours,
this is the home of honest men, this
the reward of those who care for the
welfare of the people. Enter upon
your reward
"Alas! it was but a dream, and I
awoke to find that it was still necessary
to work to make the people understand
how they were wrouged, and why SO
much of their hard earned money was
required for taxes"
listened attentively and as my friend
concluded I wished that it was indeed
true that the ring had gone to its home.
1t is, however, only question of time.
The people will yet deprive them of the
spoils and the little devils make merry
over their roasting carcasscs.
Yours muchly,

DEAR ADvoCATE:-Passing along
the street this morning, I met your
correspondent "Civ;l Engineer;" he
was bent as if beneath a heavy burden
or the SHOWS Of many winters. As 1
approached l perceived that mis- face
was very sad, and l accosted him with
the familiar phrase twas feld." He
looked up aud said, "is that you, Jack!
Well may you ask whats the matter "
The heavy man of the county, he who
killed Messenger, has dropped upon
me from Gazette and Democrat and l
am eternally smashed, triturated,
ground into an impalpable powder; it is
not me you see, but ghost, shadow.
How much are these auricular appen-
dages elongated?" Seeing that some
thing troubled my friend I proposed
that we should adjourn to Tommy
Zimmett's and try "Zwel Lager" No
sooner said than done-aftcr G. f. had
put himself outside of couple of
glasses of Lancaster in a most artistic
manner, he seemed to come to himself
and taking a lien on the bar he ad-
dressed me thusly:
"Jack, last seen Gazette and Demo-
craft" yea'ed and he proceeded:
"Jack, are my ears excessively pro-
longed, or has the Sapient Dogberry,
the Gentleman from Elk,' who edits
the organs of progressive democracy
merely glanced in mirror, and, seeing
his own reflection, concluded it was
me? If so l can understand why mine
cubic feet make asquare yard"
81 had dream last night-I retired
oppressed by the undeserved attacks
of the legislator which had been pub
lished in Gazette and Democrat. Dur
ing the evening l had endeavored to re-
cuperate, but lager wasn't sufficient for
the purpose and when I slept, the bur-
den of that awful assault, dictated by
all the brains Of the Democracy of Elk
county, remand with me. My sleep
was disturbed and | dreamed
~ was standing in broad street, to
my right was a palatial building gleam-
ing with lights and resonant with music
and merry laughter. Opposite it stood
a gloomy, grimy building, looking like
a huge machine shop, its windows
lighted by the baleful glare of sulphu-
rous fires. AsI wondered at the scene,
a bright presence stood near me, and
him | asked what were the two build
ings so unlike in appearance. Look
he said, pointing across the street, and
from the door opposite issued being
