POPULAR SCIENcE.-To-morrow evening
Prof. Bracket will give the fourth lecture of
his course. The preceding lectures have been
devoted to electricity and magnetism; the last
half of the course will treat of heat and light
The experiments thus far have been very in
teresting and striking, but we are promised in
the succeeding lectures not only attractive but
gorgeously brilliant displays in illustration of
these subjects. The theory of light the divisi-
bility of its rays, the polariscope, spectrum an
alysis, and many other kindred topics that are
attracting SO much attention at the present
time will be taken up and doubtless will be
handled in mastery manner. Those of oul
people who are at all interested in such mat
tiers should make a special point of attending
as it is highly improbable that similar course
will be given for long time in this city, the
lack of financial success in this case being suff
Gent to check any further efforts of the kind.

ers Tor the County OF Cumberland.
FTNHE undersigned citizens of Cumberland county,
Il respectfully represent that the Indexes of the
Records in the Cumberland Registry of Deeds are
very unsatisfactory in their arrangement and general
entries; of the books are much worn and soiled
requiring immediate rewriting while others are very
obscurey written and liable to lead to errors and the
method OF ndexng formerly in is entirely made
quate to the demands of so extensive records thus
making the work Of searching extremely laborious
and unreasobaby inconvenient.
We further represent that Mr.. E. Leach has UNDER
taken and partially completed strictly Alphabeti-
cal Index to the whole series of Records from the
date OF the incorporation of the county in 1850 to the
present time and that said Index, when completed
is calculated to much labor and expense in the
OF the records to expedite the transac
ton of business and to add greatly the
of the public.
We therefore respectfully request the Commission
ers TO examine the work of Mr. Leach and to ascer-
tain his price for the same and if satisfied of the in
creased advantages possessed by MI Leach's index
TO purchase the same II it can be obtained for rea-
sonabe sum- and TO cause 1t to be completed for the
use of the public,
We also request you to name place and an early
time f Signs bearing ri of your petitioners.

The Death of O,Connelr.

| We reproduce this morning an eloquent
| extract from an address by the late William
II. Seward on the death of O'Connell:
! There is sad news from Genoa. An aged
| and weary pilgrim, who can travel no fur
theT, passes beneath the gate of one of her
ancient palaces, saying with pious resigna-
ton "a he enters its silent chambers, "Well.
it is Gods will that | shall never see Rome.
| am disappointed. But am ready to die.
1t il all right" The superb though fading
queen of the Mediterranean holds anxious
watch, through ton long days. over that ma
1ectlc strangers wasting frame. And now
death is there-the Liberat0r of Ireland has
sunk to rest in the Cradle OF Columbus.
Coincidence beautiful and most sublime |
1t was the very day set apart by the elder
daughter of the church for PRAYER and sac
ritice throughout the world, for the chill
dren of the sacred island, perishing by
fannie and pestilence in their homes and in
their native fields, and on their crowded
paths OF exile, on the sea and in the havens,
and on the lakes, and along the rivers of
this far distant land. The chimes rung out
by pity tor his cOuntrymen were O'Connell's
fitting knell; his soul went forth on clouds
of incense that rose from affairs of Christian
charity; and the mournful anthems which
recited the faith, and the virtue, and the
endurance of Ireland were his becoming
requiem.
1t is holy sight to see the obsequies of
soldier, not only of civil liberty but of the
liberty Of conscience-of a soldier not only
of freedom, but Of the cross of Christ-of q
benefaetor, not merely of race of people,
but of mankind The vault lighted by
suspended worlds is the temple within
which the great soIemnities are celebrated.
The nations of the earth are mournere; and
the spirits of the just made perfect, descend
ing from their golden thrones on high, break
forth into songs.
Behold now a nation which needeth not
to speak it's melancholy precedence The
lament Of Ireland comes forth from palaces
deserted, and from shrines restored; from
Boyne's dark water witness of her desola-
tion, and from Tara's lofty hall, ever echo
ing her renoWn. But louder and deeper vet
that wailing comes from the lonely huts on
mountain and on moor, where the people of
the greenest island of all the seas are ex-
piring in the midst of insufficient though
worldwide charities. Well indeed NAV
they deplore O'Connell, for they were his
children; and he bore them
- love so vehement, so strong. SO pure,
That nei her age could change nor art could
cure"
