Measurement of Cisterns,

In computations of this kind, two
facts are TO be always remem bered, 1st,
that gallon weighs 10 ,bs.; I'd, that Il
cubic foot of water contains 81 gallons,
and consequently weighs 622 lbs.
Suppose then we desire to dig a els
tern, say four feet square, to contain
500 gallons; how deep must We make
il? I'm the first place, if the cistern be
four teet square, the superficial area of
the top or bottom will be Xxi, 1. e. Is
feet; iOi each foot in depth, therefore,
there will De IL solid feet of water, or
16X6j, 1. c. 100 gallons. Divide this
100 into $50 and we have the required
depth, viz, ) feet.
Again, suppose our cistuFn il, round,
and say teet III diameter; how deep
must we make it TO hold 800 gallons?
:. Fake half the diameter, that is feet;
SQUARE it, that gives US four feet; Inul-
tipIy ing this by 3 II, and We ger 124-7
feet the superficial area of the top or
bottom OF, our cistern.
Each foot in depth, in this case, Will
conta a lee s-7x6i or about rs! gallons
of water, and this divided into 500 Will
give,the depth, viz, 81 feet nearly.
!, Again, suppose we wish TO dig cis-
tern i6et deep, that shall have capa-
city Of 500 gallons, what must be the
size of the opening? Now column of
water one foot in dimension and as
long as the depth of the cistern, would
contain 6x6f or 374 gallons; divide this
into 600 and we get 16 feet as the area
1of the topor bottom of our cistern.
Then five desire square ope, take the
square root of 16. viz, 4, and this will
be flie length of the side OF our cistern.
If round one, divide 1G by 8 II; eX-
tract the square root of the quotient and
we get half the diameter, and this
doubled gives, Of course, the whole
width ot the opening required.

Practical Cumulative Voting in
England.

New YORK WnfldI
The election of the Manchester
School Board on the 18th of November
furnishes some interesting illustra-
ticn.of the pric tical working Of the
i''cunuiative vote" Il device which
I has for its principle the securing of the
adequate representation of minOrities,
but which also places an instrument of
great paWer in the hands of compact
organizations. At this election there
were fifteen candidates to be chosen,
and each electOY Was at liberty to con.
centrate fifteen votes on a single can
lidate or to distribute them as he
pleased. There are 65, $50 electors in
Manchester, but only q, 1853 of them
voted at this election. Last year,
when the School Board was first
chosen, the Roman. Catholics had bat
two candidates, whom they brought in
at the head of the poll. Finding that
they had some strength to spare. they
this year nominated three candidates,
giving them as nearly as possible five
votes from each Catholic voter. They
were quite suecesSful-two of their cam
didateS being at the head of the poll,
with 30,572 and 2S, $50 votes respective
ly, while the Others stood fourth on the
list, with 49, ,262 votes. This would
show chat out of the u 1868 persons who
came TO the polls about 5000 We're Ro-
man Catholics. Under the old system
of absolute maioritles this minority
would have been helpless; they could
have elected no one, but with the s'cu-
mulative vote" they not only return
ed their three candidates, but enjoyed
the not altogether empty triumph OF
bringing two of them in at the very
head of the poll. The Church of Eng
land party is more numerous by far in
Manchester than the Catholics, and
they could afford to divide their
strength between a greater number on
candidates. They placed seventh NOM
inatien and they returned them all by
votes ranging from 2S, ,53l down to 49,
927. The whole number of voters be-
longing to this party was about III 900.
The remaining five successful candi-
dates are classed as "unseetarian'-but
the "unsectarians" seemed TO have
lacked good sense. They either over
rated their strength or We're. unable to
agree; for nine ''unsectarian" eandi-
dates went to the polls-five were elect
ed and four were defeated. The other
unsuccessful candidates, two in num-
ber, were the nominees Of the Method-
ist church, and it is curious that this
body in a great city like Manchester
were unable TO elect even q single rep
resentative OF their opinions. Much
more notable, however, is theHiact that
mt an eioctioh in the greatests of all the
English misunderstanding Cities. - al
election held Immediately after Mr.
John Bright proclaimed HIS indiffer'
ence if not his hostility to religious edu
cation in common schools,- majority
of ten out of fifteen members of {
School Board should be elected whC
are pledged to the strictest .denomina
tional religious. education in the school:
! under their control.

Saving Trees frors, Mice.

We would call the special attention
of farmers again to the inportance of
protecting their Young trees against
the winter rs1ages OF mice. The work
required to dc this is bat trifiing and
pays largely. Yherc are numerous
ways for accomplishing the desired
end, but the most eifectuai and c0nve-
nient we have ever used was to bank
with earth the trun.;s up. ii few inches
from the surface of the ground. 4
wagon load of dirt will oant, Il large
number OF trees, and if rich soil 4
double benefit may be. derived by
spreading the same over line roots of
trees i'll spring.
An exchange strongly urges plan
which we do not think as good as the
above, yet we give it for what it is
worth. 1t says to bandage up the
stems of the old tree with any cotton
or woolen cloths, if. old muslin two OF
three wrappings, letting the bandage
go into the ground an inch or two, and
six or eight inches above ground, and
tie up.
This should certainly be renewed
every autumn if necessary. until the
trees are large enough not to be injured.
Those who are in earnest for a remedy
will try this and save their trees; but
it will be too much trouble for others to
devote Il couple of hours 10 this labor
annually, and they will rather run the
risk with the mice. ...r

Cattle Running the Itoad.


Cattle Running the Road.
The following presentation was tnan-
imously adopted by the. Grand Jury of
Burlington county, N. j, at lastterm,
and read to the Court:
1.-The attention of the Grand Jury
having been called to the practice
which still exists in some neighbor-
hoods Of permitting cattle 70 run at
large on the public highways, they
deem it proper to state that in their
opinion it is wreng in principle, dam
gerouS to the lives and property OF per
sons on railroads, and unjust to those
who do not suffer their stock to run
loose, to be required to fence against
road cattle; that all owners of cattle
should fence around and keep them in
closed rather than to require the grow
ers of fruit, vegetables, and other crops,
tofence around them; that the practi-
cal operation of the sktwsA preventing
cattle running at large in some parts OF
our country, has been salutary, and fa.
vorable, giving greater security and
comfort to travellers; saving large eX-
penditures for fences, many of'which
have been removed from the roadside
thus adding byway Of headlands about
five per centtO the area CT cultivated
land. ..n --aI ItaH%
Fruit and ornamental trees have
been planted along the public high.
ways, which contribute to the comfort
and pleasure of travellers as well as to
the beauty and value of farms. Fences
being one of the heaviest expenses on
the farm should not be required when
only needed to keep cattle on the pub.
lie highways.
we do, therefore, present the prae
tice of letting cattle run at large on the
highways as nuisance, which should
be abated by all proper remedies.
