The DEAD LETTER OFFICE.-A
notice of the lecture Of Carlton
Hughes, Esq, delivered in Feller's
Hall on May 7th was accidently
omitted in last issue.
The lecture was delivered to a
large and appreciatiye audience, aud
abounded in many interesting, curl
Gus and valuable facts in connection
with the history of that wonderful
Institution, with its ominous name
the Dead Letter Office. The lee
turer spoke without manuscript and
imam easy pleasant manner, showing
his perfect familiarity with the sub
ject. Many of the incidents which
he related as coming under his per-
sonal observation were highly anus
ing; some were full. of tender SYM
patty, and some also revealed the
skeleton in the closet, and traced a
pathway strewn with the wrecked
hopes of loving and tender hearts.
Mr.. Hughes had selected his incl
dents from the many at his COM
mand, with a view to giving his
hearers the best insight possible into
the workings of the system of the
Dead Letter Office, and he succeed
ed admirably. The lecture was vel
received, and we are sure no one can
hear it without great pleasure aud
benefit.

ferer with pains in the small of the back

most eXcruciating and at times almost in

The colored exodists from Arkan-
sas have arrived safely in the Afri-
can republic of Siberia. Nearly all
the party were at once located on
land on the st. Paul River, and are
reported to be more than contented
with the change they have made.
We fully reciprocate the content
ment; and we, without irreverence,
utter a hearty "Amen" to the aspi-
ration of ex-President Warner, that
Special Providence which entered
into the the counsel ofthe most high
ere the beginning of time respecting
this very thing now going on-viz
The returning ofthe dispersed negro
to his own land-is as active, and
remains as firm to-day as it
was in Paul Cuffee's time. We may
rest assured that this coming back
of these smitten sons and daughters
of Africa from their long and sor-
rowful exile will be guided and
guarded by that wisdom which call
ed from naught all things that now
exist. sa

A STARTLING theft has just been
discovered in the Office of the sec
ond auditor of the treasury, at
Washington. During the war all
property found on the bodies Of
dead soldiers was sent to this Office,
to be kept until claimed by rela-
tives of the deceased. Much Of
this property found its way to its
proper destination, but some has
remained i'm the possession of the
second auditor until this time.
Some of this was valuable but the
most of it, according to secretary
Sherman and auditor Ferris, was
entirely worthless, consisting of
pocket-books containing nothing
but a cent or two, in one or two cases
old pipes and few valueless
trinkets. Some four weeks ago it
was discovered that the safe had
been robbed. Auditor Ferris says
that nothing of value was taken eX-
cept some town bonds, the face
value of which was $4,000. Chief
of the secret service, Brooks, has
discovered that these bonds were
taken by Charles F. Herring, who
was chief clerk of the second audi
tor until last winter, when he died.

At time when all are noting the
remarkable development of this
country, it is cause for congratula-
ton that the literary and scientific
institutions of the land are keeping
pace with its material growth. This
truth is being confirmed every day,
and the erection of the new Astro-
nomical Observatory at Rochester,
New York, is a most important step
in this direction. Prof. Swift, who
has become known throughout the
world as the fortunate discoverer of
so many comets, has labored under
great disadvantages in his work,
owing to a lack of proper facilities.
The new Observatory will entirely
overcome these troubles, as the tel
escope which is to be mounted in its
dome is the third largest in size Of
any i'm America. But however val
liable all future discoveries may be,
the astronomers of this country
have accomplished many wonder
full things in the past. Prof. Hall
of the Washington Observatory,
discovered the two moons which
accompany Mars, one of the grand
est achievements of the present CEN
tury; Prof. Bond discovered the
eighth satellites of Saturn in lS48,
and the transparent ring of Saturn
in 1850. The separation of Biella's
comet into two parts was first seen
by American astronimers, and du-
ring the eclipse of 1873, Prof. Wat
son and Swift discovered three in
tra-mercurial planets. In addition to
these great discoveries the United
States claims the honor of finding
more than a thousond double and
triple stars (many of them being
the largest OF this class of bodies)

IN the Blue mountains, on the
farm of Samuel Thompson, near
SwartswOOd pond, in Sussex county,
New Jersy, is a ereVice or canon sew
eral hundred yards in length aim

bottom is covered with ice, and the
caves and crevices are filled with it.
In fact, it is a natural ice, house,
where many tons Office can be taken
out without apparently decreasing
the supply. The greater part of ii
has been there for many years, the
mass slowly melting In summer
and increasing in winter, until il has
become several feet thick. During
the past warm weather, when the
thermometer registered i'm the nine
ties only a mile from the gorge, at
the bottom of il was marked only
thirty-eight degree. \ few feet
from one end of the gorge a spring of
sparkling water bubbles up. Thi
water stands at thirty-four degrees
during winter and summer. Mr..
Thompson says that the farmers for
miles around take ice from this
place.
