This boring began just below the lower
limestone coal which crops out near the
well head
On the eastern line of the county few
boriDgs have been made which can be
depended upon for giving any accurate
information. At Limaville, in the north
eastern corner of the county, the Briar
Hill coal has been struck by DR., L. ].
Dales in several holes. These borings,
and that made by Mr. Schwalm at Can
ton, show that the belief, so frequently
expressed that no valuable deposits of
the Massillon coal exist east of the Tus-
Carawas river, is without foundation in
fact, and | feel justified in predicting
that hereafter some most important and
valuable coal basins will be reached in
the eastern portion of the county, and
where their presence is not now suspect
ed. The borings made at Limaville by
DR.. Dales show the lower coal of worka.
BILE thickness. 1t exists over a consider
able area in that vicinity, and was found
in a number of holes running with great
regularity. The register of one OF these
has been furnished me by Dr. Dales.
The well was located near Limaville sta
ton, the well head len feet above, or
$40 feet above Lake Erie. The coal was
struck l65 feet from the surface, or 405
feet above the Lake. This shows dip
of 100 feet from the nearest outcrop of
the coal in Tallmadge, eighteen miles
north of west, and about the same dip
from the vicinity of Ravenna, fifteen
miles due north, but the coal lies higher
here than at Massillon, southwest, or
Youngstown, northeast; fact due doubt.

THE Northfeld observatory, connected
with Carleton College, is the finest in the
State. 1t is situated on the college hill,
a short distance from Willis Hall. The
building is small but shapely structure ;
the main portion is surmounted by re-
volving dome, which forms an upper
circular room, where, in few days, will
be found the new equatorial telescope
of Sinch lenses. There is also IN this
building the sidereal or star clock, worth
$500, and mean time clock, worth $400.
In the west wing of this building is an
instrument for observing stars, which is
mounted in such M amer as to oscillate
from north to south, sweeping the meri-
dian of the observatory, and, it is
known, by astronomical calculations, to
the hundre:h part of second when GER
tain stars shall pass the meridian. Com.
pairing these results with the sidereal
clock, the true time can be easily deter
mined and any error in time easily cor
rected. Many persons have supposed
that the sun was the regulator Of the true
time, but from the twinkling stars, we
learn the time of rising and setting of the
sun. The time is struck off by electric
bells, and from this observatory the rail
roads of the state take their time.

cause seems to be gaining ground. We
have never felt quite ready to see the
sexes become political equals. When we
are convinced that this movement will
be for the best good of all, we shall be
for it, still we would not oppose it if we
thought the women generally throughout
the country were demanding it. We
have always felt that woman can rule the
world without the ballot. They rule
when they care to, by thousands arts
and charms we'll chosen, and their power
over man is irresistible.

Of entertaining any spite towards Austin
