reveals the curious fact that no accurate map Of
New York State exists. The one nearest so WAS
made by IRENcR in 1860. Yet the Commits
sions work in the last year shows that whore
FRENCH places the city Of Oswego the waters Of
Lake Ontario roll Ave iathoms deep. Measure
mcnis in central New YORK prove that two hun
drrd villages and hamlcts there are misplaced
from one tD two miles. The old maps do not
give Onondaga County the proper number Of
acres within ten thousand while tho distance
between Albany and Syracuse is put down
milo and a half too long. From Lake Ontario
to the Pennsylvania line is too short by three
quarters Of mile. Tho courses Of tho upper
Hudson the Mohawk, the Seneca. aul other

n new article steps 40 suddenly into univer-
sal favor. Housekeepers are loud in its praise,
il is always ready, there are no weights 20
get lost or to be hunted up, is reliable, and
will not get out Of order. The description of
them Is a handsome base surmOunted by n
column in which works q spiral spring 30
scientifically adjusted 6s to weigh any
thirg up TO twelve pounds with perfect
accuracy, on the top of the column is the
platform on which the articles g be weighed
are placed, and they have an adjustable indi
Gator 50 that you can take the taTe Of any
vessel you may use in weighing, giving you
the exact net weight. HousekeCpers at once
SEQ their vAlue in weighing fruits, sugars
aud other ir gradients used IN preserving,
cooking, etc, or in testing the weights Of
purchases from others.
The scales are made Of all brass, are high
ly polished and are finished in 3 skilIful
manner. They are very attractive and take
the eye OF every one who sees them,
