We suppose that Professor David
Forbes. of England. knows as much
about the interior of the earth as any
man living. In late lecture he insisted
that all the objections brought by geolo
gy, mathematics, or astronomy, against
the old theory that the earth is molten
mass surrounded BY crust about fifty
miles thick. are quite untenabIe. He
would have us believe, while the outer
layer Of melted matter. just below the
earth's crust, may be kind Of CLASSY
alag, that, not far below this layers
salamauder bent on discovery would ind
the pre- molten metals, of which the
heaviest-gold. platinum. etc-would be
at'the earth's centre Very likely the
mass of the earth is molten. iron; and
this viewis quite corroborated by the
fact that the broken fragments of some
disrupted world. which, in the form of
erolites, are continually falling from the
sky, are often metallic iron But what 4
tantaliziDg thought it is, that just under
our feet are countless tons of the precious
metals, only waiting for John Whopper
to let US know the route By which be
passed through 10 China.-Scribner' s

Recent New York journals are filed
With stories of abduction of young girls
from their homes in that city and Brook
Ign by proeuresses-female demons in
shape; and yet, nothing is done to correct
the awful evil or punish the infamous
harpies engaged in this damniug trade in
human souls Some of the richest and
most successful merchants and profess
ionsl men of New York. it appears upon
undoubted proof, employ these devilish
PROGRESSES, paying them fabulous prices
for their internal services. Several let
tiers, written by these INSCRIPTIONS volup-
tuaries, are made public, in which they
offer from five to ten, and fifteen, and
twenty thousand dollars for the abdue-
ton Of certain young girls, whose names
they give, for their hellish purposes.
Why the respectable portion of New
York does not rise in its might and put
an end to this Infamous system--worse
than anything recorded in Circassian,
Georgia. or Mormon story-passes our
comprehension.

NETTING OF CITIZENS ON
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Important Action Of The Me
cIianiCS Association.

The Mechanics Assertion, of Bris
tol, has called a meeting of our citi,
zens TO assemble at the Kings Block
on tomorrow night. The object oil
the meeting is one of great public i'm.
portance to Bristol. Ii cOntemplates
the erection of a large building near
the center of our town and which
shall be furnished with a stationary
engine Of fifty horse power. This build
ing is to be divided into numerous ap-
partments and each apartment to he
furnished with an ample supply of
power from the one engine. The
rooms and power are TO be rented to
applicants for various purposes and at
prices which must insure the early es-
Enlistment of various kinds of manu-
features. Very many skilled opera
tives from other States desire to estab-
lish enterprises i'm our town but the
equipment of their own machinery
and power places the design beyond
their power. They can. however,
rent a room and Z sufficiency of power
from the Mechanics Association and
can thus inaugurate a system of Man
ufacturcs which cannot otherwise be
established in our midst for many
years. The manufacture of Wooden
vessels, of Axe-helvps, of Spokcs, Eel
lOes, Hubs, Chairs, and various ether
articles can be prosecuted successfully
and cheaply. The Mechanics of Bris-
tol are power which should not be
ignored. They now desire the coopera-
ton of our people and with it they
propose speedy results which will rap
iCly build and develope our town. We
should have Bone Mills, Cotton Facto-
ries, Wooden Manufactures and Shoe
establishments. The Mechanics of
Bristol are ready to pioneer the way,
and do Tot come as mendicants, They
bring their mite of money and it is
large enough to be felt. We regard
the scheme as the most practical and
encouraging one which has been cou-
cei~ed in our midst. Let us meet to-
morrow night and hear from those
who are prepared to unfold and cxhib-
the plan of the Association.

commencement Exercises,

King College has conferred its first
diploma. On Wednesday evening it
commissioned and sent forth into the
world It's first class of graduates. OF
the six young gentlemen who are to
head its list Of alumni, three wear the
King Prize Medal, for excellence in
oratory. The other three are wOr-
Thy to wear it. The graduating
speeches Of these young men are OF
that high order which renders the
strain of ordinary indiscrininate
praise both insipid and unnecessary.
They were such as would have honor
ed the oldest institution and such as
none of them within our experience
has surpassed.
Mr.. Carter. despite an Cmbarrass,

speech which evinced a power to

Mr.. Preston, with an oratoricalta

cqualled in one Of his age, seemed
the model Of elocution, and boldly
dared practical advocacy of " true
education, " avoiding those fields Of
fancy so attractive to young speak
ers.

as it was specially appropriate disre
