In order to determine the length Of
the day or night, in hours, all you have
to do is TO multiply the time Of the
suns raising by two, and it will give
you the length Of the night. Multiply
the time Of setting by two and you get
the length OF the day. II is easily dem.

the sun rises and sets at 8 o'clock. and
days and nights are of equal duration

and you have a night Of thirteen hour

A FoRGER FOR YFARs.-Thls COM
munity was inexpressibly shocked
last week by the announcement that
VIM. B. Page, prominent farmer of
Clarke county, Va, and well known
here, was 9 forger to the extent of
thousands of dollars. So highly was
the accused regarded, and so thor
oughly did he possess the conf
dence of all who knew him,
the crime charged against him found
very many not disposed to entertain
it, unless it should be unquestionably
confirmed. This confirmation came
the latter part of the week, in the
disappearance of the accused, and
revelation OF liabilities minimized at
$55, 900 with a maximum, which we
have heard stated, as high as 5000
How much OF this represents forger-
les, is not known to us at this writ
ing, but enough is known to prove
a rascality most stupendous. While
no man ever possessed the confidence
of friends to greater extent than
did Mr.. Page, it is safe to say no
man ever abused it more shamefully
Mr.. Caleb Burns, of this county,
is genuine endorser on note fol-

Marshall Mccormick, R. o. Allen,
