By reference to the advertisement OF
T. ID. Clauss, the merchant tailor, Of
this town, 1t will be seen that he is
now receiving his usual stock Of spring
and summer styles of cloths, casslmeres

after April 1st to do business on a
strictly cash principle, and for that
reason has made q reduction In his
prices, so that he will be able to offer
to his customers clothing, hats, caps,
boots, shoes, and gents furnishing
goods at prices fully as low as the same
quality of goods can he Purchased in
the cities. He trusts that the adoption
Of the cash system will meet with the
appreciation of his customers, as he
feels confident that under this system
he can furnish them with any article in

Friday, the Gath ult., to witness the
photographed talent of the partici-
pants. The words were evidently Sc
lected with great care, and pronounced
by Supt. Hofford in his usual distinct
and impartial manner. The prizes
awarded were five dollars and two and
half dollars. Mrs. Kessler, of Lehigh-
ton. received the first prize and Mr.. S.

of the entertainment were intended to
further the interests of the educational
department OF the Centennial, the re-
cipients of the prizes donated them to
the same cause. After, the spelling

Giants CaldrOns.

Such is the name given by geologists
to certain huge round or elliptical cav
tiles scooped out by some mysterious
agency in the solid rock. They are
chiefly to be met with in Sweden and
Norway; the brim is in most cases
sharp and well defined, but sometimes
are SO indistinct that it is not easy to
determine it's extreme limits. The
depth varies between seven and twenty
eight feet, the width from one to TWEEN
ty-five feet, and the axis of the caldron
may be horizontal, sloping or vertical.
Its altitude above the level Of the sea
varies between zero and 1900 feet.
Here and there the cavities seem I'M
finished and quite superficial; else
where they are deep; sometimes they
are found in rows Of five to seven. At
Sanford there are two parallel caldrons,
one small with a cylindrical cavity, the
other large, and it's inside regularly
rifed, like modern gun. Some of
these cavities are empty, others filled
with sand, gravel, and rubbish, forming
a conglomerate which it often requires
the pickaxe tOremove. Otherwise the
horizontal ones are generally filled with
water, DR.. Sexe, a learned geologist of
Christiana, has just published his re-
searches on this curious subject. He
has measured thirty-two Of these cal
drons, and given sections and plans of
most of them AS for their origin, he
accepts none Of The explanations as yet
proposed. He cannot admit them to
be moulds Of solids since destroyed, or
to be excavations made by water, mas
much as the rocks that, at the present
time, are perpetually exposed to the
impetus of the waves, display no ero-
sions to be ikened to any Giants Cal
drons. A chemical action would, If ad-
mitted by way of argument, be equally
incapable of giving any satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of the perfect polish attained
by the bottom. A more SCI ious argu-
ment put forth is that of whirlwinds
driving stones about circularly, and
thus grinding up the rock so as to scoop
out the cavity; but here it may be OBJ
jected that no such action has ever
been observed, and that surpposing it to
have been at work, the brim Of the
caldron would be funnel-shaped, where
as the contrary is the case. Mr.. Post,
in 1866, explained the phenomenon by
means Of mouths, Or cascades formed
by water having forced its way through
a glacier. This, however, is not applica-
BILE to cavities situated at great attitudes.

Experiments With Wheat.

David Landreth & Son, the eminent
seedsmen of Philadelp hia, have been
making experim ents with various ma
nures. Owing to the soil experimental

plant-food as was most acceptable to
the wheat (caused by a long continued
system of high culturel, no very valu-

experiments made, as to the value of
different fertilizers and manures. But
In regard 70 varieties of wheat, the fol-
lowing are believed by them to be the
most valuable, and in the order they
are named: Clawson or Seneca, Diehl,
Treadwell, Shumaker, Muskingum,
Post, Arnold's Gold Medal and Mediter-
ranean. Some of these, or portions
uninjured by the severe winter, yielded
~ bushels per acre.
They also made some interesting ex-
periments with oats. Some winter oats

Fanny FERNS Ruth Hall.

Mr.. James Parton's bride is the
" Nelly Of Fanny Ferns novel, Ruth
Hall" the greatest literary bombshell
that ever exploded in Boston. The
book was published in 1856, just before
it's authors marriage to Mr.. Parton,
and as it contained caricatures of near
ly all the editors of the weekly papers
in the city, painfully unfattering por-
trait of Nathaniel P. Willis, Lady Bless
ingtop's Yankee Doodle" and such a
likeness of her father-in-law and his
wife as a spirited woman would be
likely to paint, the cutlery against it
was loud. Everybody protested that
his feelings were not hurt, and defend
ed everybody else from the "malicious
attacks " made by Mistress Fanny, col
umns of leading articles were written
to show that the portraits were libels,
and the book was sold by thousands.
Looking over it to-day, when the sting
has quite departed from it, it seems
rather bright but inartistic and occa-
sionally spiteful; and it is we'll known
that the writer underestimate the
kindness of her own and Mr.. Eldridge's
father. They decided after the death
Of her husband, who was not all the
angel that her fancy painted him, to
make her an annual allowance of 5000,
which in those days was enough to
modestly support her and her two chill
dren. She was unsatisfied, and betook
herself to literature to increase her re-
sources, but it is not on record that she

The Hartford Post says: The hack
men and expressmen who make their
headquarters in front Of the old State
House, Hartford, are queer set, and
afford no little amusement by the
pranks with which they while away
their leisure hours. This morning a
couple Of them improvised photo

mounted on sticks, and covered with a
handkerchief. Three comrades were
formed into group, and the motions
Of the operator, in burlesque Of real
artist in indicating to the group just
how they should pose, were intensely
comical. All III readiness, the hand
kerchief which took the place of the
customary black cloth was withdrawn
with an artistic flourish, the operators
assistant gazed intently at tin tobacco
box cover which represented watch,
and in due time the handkerchief was
replaced, and the picture declared fin
ished. Some secret motions were gone
through with by the operator in chief,
and then the finished pictures were
produced-three highly colored comic
valentines. Quite crowd watched the
affair and the end was greeted with
roars of laughter.

The New French Senate.

From the London Times Paris Correspondence.
The Senate will have republican
majority, but it must be remembered
that the Republican ajority includes
radicals. The imperative duty, the
salvation of the country, requires,
therefore, that the government as soon
as the Chambers meet, adopt a policy
enabling the Moderate Left to separate
themselves from the Left and not re-
main their prisoners -Ihe fifty-fve
moderates Of the Right Centre, by pur-
suing under the direction of future
Cabinet frankly liberal and moderate
policy, will do much to for conserva-
tive republican majority, excluding the
radicals, the obstinate monarchists, and
the Bonapartists- that is, with one hun
dred or one hundred and twenty votes
in the opposition. This is the only step
to take if it is desired to avoid crisises,
conflicts, and cataclysms.
1t is necessary that the men surround
ing the Marshal preserve their com
posture, and do not allow the elections
to be represented as hostile to him.
What the country has condemned is
equiuoque, or the policy of falsehood,
but it has voted in favor of the Mar
shall personally, for all the candidates
of the Moderate Left have taken for
their motto "The Republic with the
the Marshal" Any who advised him
to struggle would drive him toward the
unknown, toward inevitable and futile
violence The country has spoken,
quite knowing what it was about. At
Paris, at Versailles, at Epinal, every
where, what it has condemned is M.
Bullets policy.
There need be no surprise if the
Bourse receives the news with a fall,
but the Bourse has no patriotism or in
stinct of liberty. One day it profits by
fall and the next by rise, all it sees
being a double movement and a double
agitation which favors speculation.

Stockholm Correspondence of the San francisco

In connection with the south ern fau-

Emmanuel Swedenborg With scarcely
a follower or believer in all Sweden-a
prophet without honor in his own coun-
try-here he was looked upon, as I
learned to my great surprise, as a half
insane charlatan, and hence it is not to
be wondered at that this is neglected,
dirty spot, whose associations its nearest
neighbors know little or nothing about.
The house in which he lived is occupied
by tenants Of the poorer classes of peo-
pie; what is called his study" is a
small wooden house in the garden, and
this is unoccupied and entirely empty,
though kept tolerably clean swept. One
is fortunate if, after a dozen inquiries
in the immediate neighborhood, he
finds any one to conduct or direct him
to the spot. The garden is kind of
back yard partitioned off from COM
mon court, surrounded by block of
buildings, and it is accessible only
through one of these houses. The
front of this little garden-house pre-
sents a door two or three steps from

outside shutters on either side of the

WhippinC Horses.

success in horse training, by means of
severe whipping, or otherwise arousing
and stimulating the passions, and then,

this, and there is nothing that SO fully
exhibits the ability, judgment and skill

played in winning instead of repelling

may be necessary to use the whip
sometimes, it should always be applied
judiciously, and great care should be
