TOWN & COUNTY.
GOOD SLELGUING.—The sleighing in this
section of Pennsylvania was never better than
it js now, and, we think, Was never more en
joyed. The sound ofbeilsisiserdom out of our
ears, and everybody seems merry and happy.
There-is,-nothing.mnreniusical on the clear air
of winter, when a white mantle is over old
mother earth, than the 'sound of , sleigh-bells.
Pon has expressed it well in the following
verse :
' "The tinkling of the bells,
What, a world of 'merriment
_their 'melody foretells!
How they 'tinkle, tinkle', tinkle, •
In the icy 'air of night ; !
While the stars that ever sprinkle .
Ail' the he/liens, selini• to twinkle
With a crystalise delight, '
'Keeping time, time. time; - •
' In a sort of !tunic rhyme. -
To the tintinnabulation that so musically swells,
From the bells, bells, bells, '
Belts, belle, bells—
prom the jingling and the tinkling' of 'the bells."
,BREAKING OF GROUNO.—We are re
quested to mention that there will be a "break
ing of ground" of the Gettysburg Railroad, on
Monday next, the 11th inst, at 11 s'clopk,
where the line of the Road passes through the
farm belonging to Mr. NICHOLAS HsizzEr.., in
Zelogptpleasant. township. Addresses may be
expected suitable to the occasion. The public
are invited to attend.
- SUB-CONTRACTS.—We learn that but two
tie.ctions or the Railroad were given out on Mon
t* last, although a large number of bids have
been received. Messrs. THOMAS WARREN and
ROBERT PAXTON, of this •place, got sections 9
and 1.5- - --the latter being the section nearest
'the borough. The other lettings have been
postponed until the line of the route •is definite
-, ly loc,ated, a few changes being thought desira
ble— Messrs. WARREN e 0 PAXTON will "break
ground" on section 9, on Monday, the 11th
inst., on the property of NICITOLAS BELTZEL,
about seved miles from this place, on the York
turnpike. Itis expected that an address, &c.,
will be had. the occasion. -
TWAREM' ASSOCIATION.--The "Adams
County Teachers* Association" intend having
a series of meetings in Christ Church, coin
. mencing on Thursday. 11. C. HICKOCK, Esq.,
- the Deputy State Superintendent, wi!l be pres
ent and address the Sssociation. We - under-_
stand that Addred.ses will be delivered by Dr.
Scamukauts and other gentlemen. School Di
rectors and all' interested
~in the su ject of
Common School Education are cordial y invit
ed' to attend. .
INGENTOUS.--AVe were shown, a few days
ago, an invention by Mr. D.. WARREN,. of this
place, designed to effect the detaching of the
coupling of railroai cars. It is a simple - but
ingenious contrivance, and must meet a -great
desideratum on our railroad -thorough : fares.—
The accidents from_ trains running off the
track have grown so frequent• that anything
calculated to guard against injury to passen
gers resulting therefrom, must command the
attention of railroad coin ponies.- - Mr. Wattaior
proposes to meet this want by a. very simple
.contrivance, which, by a self-acting. leverage,
detaches the coupling of cars the moment the
locomotive leaves the rail. - Mr. WARREN de
signs taking out a patent for his invention, and
will then bring it to the attention - of Railroad
Companies.—Star.
SLEIGHING. VISITORS. --A large Sleigh
ing Party of ladies- and gentlemen frotn Em-
Mitsburg, made its entree it this place, on
Thursday evening last, and drew marked at
tention as the cavalcade passed down Balti-
More street: to the corner of Uhambersburg and
Washington streets, at which point they baited.
and took peaceable possession of the "Eagle,"
where they remained, enjoying themselves by
'dancing. until the "wee small hours of mot n,"
and went bone with the horses, in the
morning. We leitinbat there were fifty-four
persogs composing this grand pleasure=seeking
party.
On Monday our town was honored with a
'visit from the Female High School of Hanover,
under the charge of Miss liam.tmG ; and also
the scholars of the EmtnitAurg Academy, un
der the charge of W. FRANK. PAXTON.
STILL COLD.-=The mercury was down to
7 degrees below zero this morning.
READ.—Two papers worthy of careful pre-
Fervation will be found on'our •ou'tside' pages.
ANAT YzING Suit.s.—The following is a sim
ple method of analyzing soils:
• Weigh a convenient quanity of the earth to
be analyzed, say 1,000 pains, dried in the
open-air ; dry the same before a lire on paper,
ao as not to scorch the paper ; re-weigh, and
the difference will be the moisture. Roast the
residue : re-weigh, and the difference will be
the organic matter. Pour a convenient quanti
ty of: muriatic acid on the remainder ; when
stirred and settled. pour it off', and add oxalate
of ammonia ; the precipitate will be the lime.
Mix the remainder with water, and stir it well ;
when a little settled, pour off the turbid mix
ture, and the suspended contents are argillace
ens, and the deposite officious.
