The INTERIOR OF THE EARTH W,

The INTERIOR OF THE EARTH We
suppose that Professor David Forbes.
of England, knows as much about
the interior of the earth as any
man living In late lecture be in
sisted that all the objection brought
by geology, mathematics or astrOno-
my, against the old theory that the
earth is a molten mass surrounded
by crust about fifty miles thick,
are quite untenable. He would have
US believe, while the outer layer of
melted matter, just below the earth's
crust, may be a kind of CLASSY Stag,
that, not far below this layer, a sala
mander bent on discovery would
fiad the pure molten metals, of which
the heavest-gold, platinum, etc.
would be at the earth's centre.
Very likely the mass of the earth is
molted iron and this view is quite
corroborated by the fact that the
broken fragments of some disrupted
world, which. in the form of aerolites,
are continually falling from the sky,
are often metallic iron. But whaL
tantalizing 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
rout by which be passed through to

Massacre Of Il Whole Family.

4 terrible crime, which recalls the
horrors of the Tropmann massacres,
has just thrown the little village Of
Lurz and its neighborhood into a state
of terror and grief. A whole family,
consisting of four persons, father and
mother, and their two children, were
murdered in their house on Sunday
evening last, the assassin or assassins
having despatched the unhappy victims
with a hatchet The alarm was at once
given by the neighbors Of the murder
ed people, whose cries of agony had
been distinctly heard but unfortu
nately, owing to the darkness of the
evening, the authors of the
crime were enabled TO make good their
escape, but IN wha5 direction was not
known. The civil and military author
ties, who were warned Of what had
occurred as speedily as possible, forth
with adopted the most energetic meas
ures for the apprehension OF the muir

watch upon all travellers. A fierce
struggle had evidently taken place be.
tween the murderers and their victims,
and it is thought the former must have
been wounded, by which means it is
probable their guilt may be brought
home TO them. The hillv and broken
