hight. Several sidewalks were inun-
dated by the excessive rains. The
gentle zephyr, which lasted all day,

umbrellas, and wrapping about them
most uncomfortably the overcoats of
unfortunate travellers.

the needle forms the variation taking place
Capt Lawson is also taking the latitude and

of the instruments, a circle weighing 64S.s
grains has to be adjusted and perfectly bal
anced on 8 spur suspended on four 6bres

Now, that the grade Of the Court House
yard is being reduced, Captain Lawson sug
gests that in order to preserve the exact To-
cality Of the present monument, several ae-
cnrate measurments be taken from different
points and then when the grade is cut the
monument can be replaced in its exact po-
sition by the measurements taken. We be-
lieve the suggestion good one and hope the
county commissioners will take it il to con
sideratiOn. From Capt Lawson We learn
that the Coast Survey is separate depart
ment from either the army or navy, and the
majority of those composing the corps are
from civil life, and the rank takes pre-
,edence from the amount paid as salary.
the amount of salary being determined al
together by the capabilities Of
the officer. One first entering the Coast and
ieodItic survey corps receives Sl5 per month
besides rations, etc. and is styled an assist
ant, and from this rank his pay in ,reases &C
cording to his capabilities and it may be
truly said that in no department in the gov
ernment service is merit more rewarded than
in the Coast and Geodltic survey.
