Route of the New Railroad Through Cecil

The iina! survey of the route oi the new
through road from Baltimore To Philade-
rhia, to be built by the Baltimore and Ohio
Co., is now being made. That portion of
the line passing through Cecil county will
be by the following route: The SuSuuc-
hanna will he bridged Just at or above Wat
sons Island, the bridge being high enough
To allow the passage of vessels without a
draw: from there it will extend in Il straight
line to the main branch of the North East
creek, crossing it about a mile and a half
north of the village Of North East from
thence it extends to the Little Elk, crossing
it just below Mackall's mill and passing
very close to the residence ON the farm:
from there il rms in Il straight line TO the
Cherry Hill road, crossing that road ut Il
point two miles and 4 quarter above Elk
ton, and passing Hear I.utton'S Corner: from
there it runs eastward, crossing the Big Elk
at Elk Mills, very ciuSe to the lower mill,
and thence through Il level country to the
town of Newark, entering that town south
Of Casinos mill, and passing close to the
Deer Park hotel, and thence north east
wardly up the valley of White Clay creek
Terms and propositions of the various land
owners on The route are being received by
an agent of the company, and every thing
points to rapid construction of the road.
There is ROW but little doubt but that the
road will be completed within the time
(threc years. specified in the charter.

SlGNIff.No \ nAIRY STAR.

The height Of the coma above the nucleus
depends on the mass Of the nucleus, and
gives the measure of its weight: or more
exactly, the least limit al weight which
will sulltoe 10 maintain such Il height of
atmosphere. The nacleus is usually so
closely surrounded by the GcnSc mist that
its diameter cannot he measured: but at
times the mist rises. uncovcrs the nucleus
and leaves it with sharp stellar aspect.
The least diameter determined at such
times may be larger than the actual one
but cannot be smaller. Flurn the combi-
nation OF mass :.iltt diameter the density
Of the nucieas can be computed. In the
case of DunatiS comet the diameter Of
the nucleus was perhaps not more than Il
hundred miles. while .he height of the
atmosphere extended to eighteen thou
sand miles. You may be surprised To
learn that the corresponding density Of
the nucleus WAS 1t least equal to that Of
iron. What al unexpected contrast is
here presented 10 the prevalent notions
concerning the sun and the comets. The
solid sun is reduced by science to the
state 81 gas, while the substance of the
ethereal comet is Il solid and heavy metal.
In its approach to the sun. the surface
of the nucleus is rapidly heated; it is

highly electrified advance to the front
edge of the tail. while those which are
the least electrified fall back to the rear.
Some Of the PARTICLES are electrified Just

SO that. after separating from the nucleus
they become neutral to the suns action
and move uniformly in strai ght lines, but

manifest upon the Counteuance Of the pas
tor, and the opening exercises were con-
Quoted with good deal Of agitation. The
morning sermon was from the toxt In
