I Mr. Lesley's experience has been that j six months' lieldwork requires at least six ' nnmlhs' ofliee work ; but publishing adds still more to the required time. We were fortunate in getting so much cilice work done last winter, so that tho coi ps could be left free as early as May to take the field again. Next winter the amount of nfl'ire work ought to be greater; and it will re quire both skill and judgment to prepare the work of ls,7." for speedy publication in 1S7(). We had only four months of held woik last year. This year e will have six and it is to be hoped seven. Last year we had but five districts occupied. This year we have virtually ten ; as will appear when the details are stilted. FINANCI'.S Ol THE SCKVr.Y. But this increase of work involves an in crease of expenditure, the cofit iiiuance of the present force next year will be impossi ble without an increase of appropriat ion to s.-,o.O0n and yet the work done this year is the least to be reasonably expected of such a survey. The stato of the finances is as follows': Two appropriations for 1S74 avid ls;,j .70,0iK).00 Warrants drawn on the Treasurer to J uiii! 3D, LS7o 42.9.V..0t Ttesi.lne of the appropriation 27,041.'.)1 There is also an appropriation of $:.., 0UU for 1876.

The details of the work accomplished this season thus far is, shortly, as follows : Mr. Prime has surveyed the limestone country lying between his map of laM 3 ear and the Lehigh river, and is commencing his survey of Noithiimpton county, which lie hop.-s to complete '.his fall, so much of it as lies between the edge of the slate and the gneiss. Mr. Fiazer has added to his last year's map of the oie belts of York and Adams, and has mapped a good deal of the noith borders of new red and south flank of the mountain. He will continue this belt to ike Marj land line. Mr. Dewees has followed the out-crops of the fossil ore to the Susquehanna river ami back to Milllin, and will continue the same. Messrs.

Mr. Sherwood and iiis aid have traced from farm to farm across Titn'a county, the Mansfield ore bed, red becks, fish beds, and the Catskill out crops, la3" ing them down on the county map in colors, and will continue this work through Bradford and Susquehanna counties. Mr. Chance has mapped the Delaware and Lehigh Water Oaps, and constructed sections through tho roofing slate belt, hydraulic lime and glass sand formations. Mr. Hall, after arranging the cabinet of lossiis, examined fossil localities in '-Vest- nioreland, Warren and Venanco counties ad in the JuniaU district, stent a month j; The number of analyses' called for by tha assistants to illustrate their reports de- nianded an increase of force in tho la bora- t''y 841 Harrisbuig.

At this meeting of the board the price of ' Dr. Cicnth's report on tlie Minerology of j Pennsylvania, " pages, vo., with topo- ; graphical map, was tixod at fifty cents in ' paper cover and the postage is sixteen cents, and the ju ice of Homy F. Wi igley's i special rcporf on the Petroleum of Pennsyl- i vania, its production, transportation, man- j ufacture and statistics, 112 pages, 8 vo., with several maps and illustration, at 71 j cents in paper cover and the postage is i twelve cents. Bound copies ef either are j 23 cents more and :5 cents j.ostage. The , law requires that these reports be sold and the commissioners cannot distribute them j gratuitously. The books arc handsomely , printed and unlike the generally unwieldy I volumes of geological surveys, they are of j a very convenient, handy size, printed on j good paper, in clear type, and the work- j manship reflects credit on the stte printer. : They are stereotyped, so that editions can : be published at any time to meet the de- J manil. Kaeh of these di!rict reports is complete in itself, and is indexed with un- j usual fullness; each isjsold separately, and i persons who get them as they come out can I have them bound up in volumes. This is ; a new and excellent feature of this survey, as thcie arc really no preliminary reports to bo thrown aside and superseded by a final report. These reports arc in them selves final. The sum of the published re ports this year of the work of lb74 will amount to about 1,200 pages, exclusive of Prof. Lesley's. He has been obliged to do much di awing ami finishing to secure the best appearance for the books, and a great deal of correcting, amplifying and append ing to make the statement of each district full and clar to the reader and useful to the field worker. Much inquiry has been made for the geological reports, but the work of publi cation is, in fiict, much more advanced than was ever the case with any other geo logical survey in the same t ime. There, is no question but tho general result will be satisfactory to the people of the state and the scientific world. Orders accompanied by the money, sent to John B. Pearse, secretary of the geo logical commission, 22'y -Market street, llarrisburg. Pa., will be filled by mail or express, as direoted, or the reports can be obiained through booksellers. A Si.nsatton Exn.onr.o. Some weeks since an article from a New Oi leans paper ' was extensively published throughout the country to the effect that the crew of the schooner Florin, la, which sailed for (.'alitor- ' nia from JS'ew Orleans in lsll), and was supposed to have been lost with all on board, had been disco cred on an Ishind in ' the Southern Pacific by an Feglish vessel ; which had been di iven t hi I hei by continued ' storms. Theeiew stated that the Florinda , bad been wrecked on this uninhabited ! island twenty six years ago, and that in ; the interval they had not seen a human ; face fiom the outside woi id. They de-; dined, however, to leave the i.-laud, having ; established themselves in comparative com- ; foit. '1 he nai alive was said to have created a great sensation among the surviving re la- j tives of tho cicw, and an effort was stilted j to be on foot to fit out a vessel w hich should j visit the island. The Courier-Journal of t Sunday publishes an interview with a gen- tleman who was living in Valparaiso, Chili, ' in 1840. He states that the Florinda put into Port Famine, at that time the Chilian penal settlement, and that the convicts boarded her, massacied all of the crew, except a 3'oung man named Mareum, and made sail for the mainland. On her way ! she was recaptured by a Chilian war vessel j ami brought into Valparaiso, where the J Covricr-Joii null' s informant got the above j dut.iii.-s from Maicnm's own lips. Mareum, I whose parents are still living in Versailles, j lv3-., proceeded to California, wheie he : soon afterwards died of small-pox at Pla- i cerville in that Suite. The British steamer i Thetis had first seen the Florinda afler her ! capture by ihe convicts ami gave the in- 1 foi mation to the Chilian authorities, which ! led them to send nut the vessel which brought the Florida into port. A revolu- j lion was in progress in Chili at the time, ; and the record of the event may be lost, ! but the full details were on the log book of .' the Thetis, which may be examined in the oiliee of Uie Bntisli Admiralty. . -. - - Turc "Morf. Moxkv" DEi.rsrox. Ev erybody wants "more money,"' and it is the most natural thing in the world for them to want. it. Those who are in favor of an expansion of the curicncy are making gieat headway among the class of people who don't do much of their own thinking, by appealing to this universal want of our nai tire. But wo would like them to tell us how any one can obtain more money except l- more labor and more economy. The New York llt.rnid puts the case pointedly, as follows : If tho United Slates govern ment should tomorrow cither coin a thous and millions of gold and silver, or print a thousand millions ef lags and paper, no man in Ohio could get into his uvui pocket a single dollar, gold or paper, of all this "more money" unless the government needed his service, and then not until lie bad performeel that service. During the war t he government was spending far more than it received from taxes, and thus had occasion to print and pay out greenbacks ; now it is receiving mare than it spends, and, consequent lj-, if it .should pi nit 10, Out), -000,000 of greenbacks, these would have to lie in the treasury, because it would have no occasion or excuse for paying them out. "More money" would not helptheni in the least, unless some of it got into their in elividual ppekets, and there is absolutely no way of eetting it there except by doing some seivice which somebody who has monej' wants done. While the Ohio men arc cryingout "more money," the banks are stuffed with it, ami would be only too glad to ?cnd it out on reasonably good security.

On tlie afternoon succeeding the publication iSat urday), the latter clergyman swore out a com pi imt before Alderman DongherW, charging II. II. K. Elliott, as publisher of the i:rVre, with having uttered a libelous and defamatory article. Some hours after wards Mr. Elliott was brought before the A lderman. He conducted his own defense. Having proved the buying of the paper at j tho E.rpre ofliee, the complainant, Rev. Nicholas J. Walsh, took the stand. lie I swore that he ftad been a piiest for nearly j twenty years ; eleven years or that time he was at St. Patrick's Church, Pottsville, and since leaving there ho has been at St. Joachim's Church, Frankford. "I never was arrested for drunkenness in this or any either country. I never was arrested in my lifn. 1 never stent in a. station li.mr.

Just as the dawn 01 American indepen dence w as reddening the western horizon, Ireland saw the birth of him who was to become the most distinguished orator, statesman, agitator ami liberator of any age. Away oft" in the southwest, where the mountain? of Iveragh frown down upon tlie sea, "whose waves rolling in from the west dash in thunder upon the Skelligs and almost bury them in foam," Daniel O" Council was born one hundred j-ears ago this very day. laving amid the wildest scenes of natural beauty and among a sim ple people, lie grew up with a mental and bodily training admirably suited to his fu ture work of firing the Irish heart and moving the stubborn British will. Anej-e witness to the excesses of the rationalists in France, these occurrences made such an impression upon his youthful minel as to lead him always to set Ids face against dis ordcr and irreligion, and he ever cherished a warm affection for his mother church. As a lawyer he became the most noted on the Minister circuit and was famous far and wide for his skill in trying cases. ! Rut the events of the revolution of 'OS ' and the political condition of the Irish peo i pie at the beginning of the present century opened a wider field for the exercise of this l power than did the practice of his profes- i sion. Society was disorganized, Ireland ; j had been reconquered, and,jis Loiel Chan- j cellor Bowes stated front the bench, "in ; the eye of the law no Catholic exis;ted in 1 Ireland." The British government was j i perverted to the misrule of this pait of its I possessions and neither the lash of satirist I nor the denunciation ef constitutional ora tors and philanthropic statesmen had been able to secure to the down-trodden country ! I her lights. It was then that OX'onneil j i came to the front determined to accoui- j ! plish by moral force what had failed in re- j j sort to arms. He boldly demanded Cat ho- 1 , he emancipation and began a series of agi- tations which, continuing for twenty j-ears ; I were crowned with results which maik I 1 them as among the distinguished intellec- i tual efforts of any age. Throughout the j whole country his eloquent voice was heard, ; and, as one of his eulogists has said, ''the j very air became electric with O'Connell. j It was clear that a soul had come into Ire- j land." Ilerdeliveiy was at hand. Heart-j fully evaded laws made to repress him, lie , broke through meshes spread to entrap : him, he escaped pitfalls dug for his feet and cleared evcrj- obstacle placed in his path. Standing for ami elected to parlia- ' ment he met the power of the govermrent j face to face. He answered abuse with abuse, he parried wit with wit and gave j back blow for blow. His parliamentary ! career was without a parallel. Heenteicel . that body like some Highland chieftain at f the head of his clan. He discomfited the 1 leaders of the opposition and he featlessly i faced their fieice.st invective. j His course at length gave the English j government a pretext to arrest him on the j charge of "treasonable conspiracy" and j after a trial of twenty-live days he was; i sentenced to prison for a ye;tr, front which ; he was set free in four months Uv the tie- j cision of the house of lords that his trial ! had been unfair and fraudulent, and that such conduct on the part of a prosecuting officer rendered trial by jurya "niockeiy, a delusion and a snare." But the iron had been driven deep into his soul and not even the magnificent ova tion which greeted him on his release could heal the wound. In the meantime a spiiit ef discontent, heightened by the terrible calamity of the great Irish famine, hail turned the hearts eif his people away from his theories ef moral force ; "reason and justice had been corrupted by mere biute force, l)3- bayonet and artillery, ami O'Con iicli's career, as the prophet guide of his people, had closed." When past three score ami ten he set about to make a pilgrimage to Koine, the Mecca of the religion which he had so faith fully loved and so gallantly defended. He diet! on the way, at Genoa, on May 21, 1817, surrounded by friends and attended with loving care. He was buried at Glasncvin, where his bones sli'.l repose ; but if the spirits of great men walk abroad, he lives and moves in In land to vivify her national life, to purify her literature and make her name green wherever liberty is loved. Daniel O' Council's work was not for Ire land alone. He lived for humanity and to redress it wrongs. Catholic emancipator, Protestant dissenter, Polish refugee, dis abled Jew, were to hint alike the objects of his chivalrous defense, and it is foe this reason that his memory is this day vener a ed not only by the impossing national Celebration in Dublin, but by festivities throughout the whole woild, and pontifical high mass for the rest, of his soul is held in the Eternal city. In the language of Mr. li'lici man, at the O'Connell centennial in Brooklyn : His life had been a full lif. Lawyer, orator, demagogue, senator, statesman, "agi tator, liberator, in all these various spheres ot action he had Iteen conspicuous anil suc cessful. His services to his country had been great and prominent, and his sympathy with tho cause of freedom all over the earth vvas sincere and unbounded. No matter 'xhere men stilferetl wrong; no matter w hat was tli. ir race, or creed, or color; no matter how strong was the power that oppressed them, his gallant nature flew to their succor, and his potent voice was earnest in their cause. lie lived a life noble, brilliant anel fruit ful, and if there be in Ireland to-day a balder and manlier tone ef thought, if senseless sectarian quarrel has ceased, if Protestant ascendancy is a thing of the past, and all men are equal before the law and free to worship Goei as they will; if Irishmen are becoming united in wise and : l i5- ... r . . . ,1.

LaneatUr Intelligencer, fitfu The prospect of having Randall Speaker of the next House of Representatives dtes not please the Utica Observer. It calls him an "inflationist, Protectionist, a back payster, and a salary grabber," and says : "He is not only out of accord with tho great body of the Democracy on issues of vital importance, but he lacka the essential 'fU!'fication for leadership, honesty. While ; .m'sei'ab'e scheme was in progress for robbing the tax-payers of $2,000,000 and dividing it among Congressmen in the name of back-pay, Mr. Randall made him self offensively prominent. On one occa sion li provoked the thieves to laughter by telling them that he never heard of but one man who refused to take all the salary he could get, and that man was left at home by his disgusted constituents." Tt is. conclusive evidence of insanity in Indiana for a man to keep his promise. Stephen Griffith, of that State, when in great distress many years ago, made a sol emn promise that if the Lord would help him through, all property thereafter ac quired by him should be devoted to pious user. ses.
