The meeting of this association last even ing was called to order with the president, Coleman Sellers, in the chair. After the usual business of minutes, etc., at the request of the president, Mr. Robert Briggs, who htid just returned from a visit to Europe, gave a description of several matters he had there observed interesting to engineers. . He spoke of the improvements in wood-working machinery, in iron furnaces, with special reference to stoves and heaters for the hot Most of cas works, and of the architectural improvements in Paris, which seemed to solve some of the most pressing social pro blems of the day. His remarks were of great interest, and were highly applauded. The resilient Secretary then read his report, which touched upon many interesting topics, and included a description of the reversible filter of J. A. Joseph, and the signal apparatus of W. W. Cooley and W. H.' Deitrich. A letter was then read from Professor Morton, tendering his resignation, as fol lows: To the President and Members of the Franklin Institute Oentlemen : Having accepted a position In a distant city, which necessitates hiy removal from tills vicinity, It Is with deep regret that I now tender my resignation of the otllce of resident He cretary to your Institution, an office which your kind and generous support has rendered It a great plea sure to hold. It would be impossible u express adequately my sense of your unvarying kindnes, but 1 hope by various means to demonstrate in the future my abiding sense of the same, and my lively interest In tbis venerable and useful society. With renewed expressions of my thanks, I remain, Respectfully yours, Henry Mokton. Mr. Robert Briggs moved the acoeptanca of this resignation, and in connection with bis motion spoke in the highest terms of Professor Morton, and of the success of his administration in the institute, and in its journal, which had now assumed a prominent position both at home and abroad. Mr. Hector Orr seconded the motion with sentiments of regret, and with the best wishes for the retiring secretary. The president stated that Professor Morton had consented to continue his charge of the journal of the institute, which had met with such success under his management. Pro fessor Morton's resignation was then accepted, and a vote of thanks tendered for his ser vices. . The meeting was then adjourned. The position accepted by Professor Morton is that of president of a college of mechanical engineering, to be erected in Hoboken, op posite New York, under an endowment of f (M),wo by Mr. uawin Stevens, late of that place. THE ANCIENT LAKES OF NORTH AMJJiIUA. Professor J. S. Newberry, of Cleveland, re cently read a paper in that city. We extract the following: , . i The changes that have taken plaoe in the topography of the Western Continent have aflected greatly the animal and vegetable life of a country at that time as beautiful and fertile as any other. The tertiary deposits of the eastern portion of the continent were marine, and at the Far West also there is a series of tertiary deposits in California, in the region of the Sierra Nevada marine in character. But in the interior of the conti nent is a far more interesting series of cer tain fresh-water deposits fresh water con taining a great number of fossil plants and the most remarkable series of animal deposits to be found on this continent east of the Rocky Mountains. There are two species of rhinoceros, tne elephant, hippine quadrupeds, (he sabre-too tn cat, wnose tooth was in one specimen eight inches beyond the jaw, the most formidable tooth or any animal of which we have any knowledge. These deposits of the West were formed in fresh-water basins, and yet now there are almost no fresh water basins in that region. Some slight idea of the nature of these de posits may be formed from the fact that al most everybody going to uainornia talks about chalk deposits. Following in the old emigrant train, you will see various Blabs or this chalk like earth set np for grave-etones. These in f usorial beds are portions of the fresh water deposits. On the western side of the Rooky Mountains the deposits are similar, and are rich in diatomes. The fauna are interesting. On the east side of the Rocky Mountains the tertiary deposits have been but little studied, altnougn x nave paid some attention to them, There are many alterations. The rivers run through a country comparatively level, and have cut down through the bottom of broad valleys, forming canons, whose walls are 1200 to 2000 feet high, and nearly vertical. The material entering into the deposits show vol canic proximity. From them you can get an idea of the material thrown down in these ancient lakes. The conclusion of this is that on all these sides of the Rocky Mountains there were found extensive sheets of tertiary deposits full of the most interesting fauna on this continent. These lakes covered an area many times greater than our present fresh water lakes. They characterize a time in the history of this continent when it was exceed ingly well watered, and contain a fauna richer than any other portion of the world at the present time, and almost all of them extinct The climate indioated by the plants and ani mals was sub-tropical, and fern plants grew in great abundance from the Upper Missouri even beyond tne British line, and Cora oov ered all the northern part of the continent, so that men lived ana vegetation luxuriated even in Greenland, bait Lake represents only a series of such lakes anciently fresh, but be coming salt because oi want of drainage. . A ercRt wary erI. Jotes and jdJs&Uuo risiws were here.' The drainage now by the Klamath and other rivers is very great and shows that it has been greatly improved. Tb editor of the Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligencer fays that he held conversations with many gen tlemen attending the Cobb County Fair, and that all agreed In saying that they were afraid tbey had planted "a little too much cotton," and not enoneh grain. Some planters are sell ing tbeir coming cotton crop even now, for supplies to carry them through the year. . A roan In York county, Me., complained of A widow for badly beating him because he drove his team across a platform she had laid to ac commodate picnic fruests at a beach. He as serted that a big dog held him behind while she belabored him in front, bat notwithstanding these grievances tbe jury upheld the woraao, and declared her action to have been Justifiable. The Missouri Republican State Committee has issued an address directing the election of Congressional district, county, and township committees, in accordance with the plan of orioni.ntion adopted by the Republicans of the State in 1608, to which tbey were largely In debted for tbeir magnificent victory in that year. Tbe plan provided for the election of these committees every two years. Cornell University is about to send a scien tific expedition to Brazil, the party to consist of "the most promising young men" at Cornoll, and to be under the leadership of Professor llartt, who has twice visited the country with Professor Agassi.. Their operations will be in tbe Amazonian Valley and on the coast south ward to Rabin. Tbe aid of the Brazilian autho rities has been generously extended, and many friends along tbe Brazilian coast arc ready to do all in their power to help it. The funds lor the journey have been secured, but $5000 more is needed. MARINE TELEGRAPH. For additional Marin Xa are First Pane. ALMANAC FOK PHILADELPHIA THIS DAY.
