Be Happy as You Can. This life is not all sunshine, Nor is it yet all showers, But storms and calms alternate, As thorns among the flowers ; And while we seek the roses, The thorns full oft we scan ; Still let us. though they wound us, Be happy as we can. This life has heavy crosses, As well as joys to share, And griefs and disappointments, Which you and I must bear ; Yet, if Misfortune's lava Entombs Hope's dearest plan, Let us with what is left us Be happy as we can. The sum of our enjoyment Is made of little things, As oft the broadest rivers Are formed from smaller springs ; By treasuring small waters The rivers reach their span ; So we increase our pleasures, Enjoying what we can. There may be burning deserts Through which our feet may go, But there are given oasis • Where pleasant palm trees grow ; And if we may not follow The path our hearts would plan, Let us make all around us As happy as we can. Perchance we may not climb with Ambition to its goal, Still let us answer "present." Where duty calls the roll ; And whatever our appointment, Be nothing less than man ; And cheerful in submission, Be happy as we can. gitaillug fro; Progress of the State Geological Sur vey.---An Abstract of the Sumner's Work. The following abstract of Prof. J. P. Lesley's report to the board of commis sioners at their meeting on thelth instant, will give the public a good idea of what the survey corps have done during the summer. Dr. T. Sterry Hunt, appointed at the last meeting of the board to report on the traps and allied rocks, pursued his survey between Easton and Chambersburg in August and September, returned to Bos ton, and will present his report in due time after making further researches. Mr. M'Creath . had finished all the ana lysis of 1874, and has made good progress in the analysis for 1875. Mr. Allen has traveled through the state collecting and arranging data for our volume of railroads and oth r levels,and has connected them with the le , els ofsurround• ing states. Pr. Genth has pursue his chemical studies of minerals and rocks, and is at present entirely occupied with nice and difficult analysis of the waters or our min eral springs . . Pr: Gintlf and Mr. MeCreath snow all mineralogical inquiries made by citi zens of the state. Dr. Leriluereux has examined the col lections of fossil plants in various places and is now writing descriptions and mak ing drawings, for the volume which will contain his report. It is to he a hand book for Pennsylvania and for the United States. EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA - LIME"TONE IRON ORES Prof. Prime, aided by Dr. Clarke and Mr. Kent. has completed the limestone belt of Lehigh county and will finish the limestone belt of Northampton county, be fore snow falls. We shall then have a complete contour-line map, with all ore banks, ore shows, limestones, and outcrop exposures from Alburtis to the Delaware river, with special studies of the larger mines. SOUTH PENNSYLVANIA GEOLOGY AND ORES, Prof. Frazer, aided by Mr. Leham, and Mr. Edwards, has made section surveys across the South mountain, and will soon have completed the fir.it draft of a complete contour line map of the mountain mass, from side to side, and for five or six miles north and south of the Gettysburg-Cham bersburg pike. Mr. Frazer's district is the most difficult in the state, as. yet oc cupied. Much of his time has been spent in . revising his sections across York county, preparatory to printing his first report of progress, which therefore includes a good deal of 1875. Dr. Hunt's knowledge of the rocks in New England and Canada has been of service in helping to explain some of the difficulties ; but most of them are inherent in the region itself and can be worked out in detail instrumentally, by the party. CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA,MA.PS, GEOLOGY AND FOSSIL ORES Mr. Dewees has continued his survey of every opening along the entire extent of the fossil ore outcrops; and he Las nearly finished all that lies in Union, Mifflin, Ju niata and Huntingdon counties, from Sel ings Grove on the Susquehanna, to the south end of Black Log mountain, i. e. the entire length of Jack's mountain, with the intermediate lines. His report will be large, carefully made and exhaustive. Mr. Billen and Mr. Ashburner, Mr. Dewees' ails, have been making a special survey of Auchwick valley, from Black Log Gap and Orbisonia, around the end of Jack's mountain, over Sideling Gap to Broad Top. Contour lined maps and cross sections are in various stages of comple tion, and will soon be ready for printing. They are now mapping and studying the East Broad Top coal basin, and will con nect it with my own large unpublished map of Broad Top male some years ago, so that the whole can be published next year. WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA - GEOLOGY COAL MINES, NATURAL GAS AS FUEL. Mr. Platt, with the aid of his brother, Mr G. G. Platt, has made a complete sur vey of Cambria county, locating and de scribing every coal opening. lle has half finished Somerset county, and expects to finish the whole before winter. His re port of these two counties will be similar to his last year's report on Clearfield and Jefferson. Mr. Young is now aiding him in southern Somerset. Mr. Young, under Mr. Platt's direc tions, has made a coke and coal survey of the Youghiogany and Monongahela val leys, from Connelsville to Pittsburgh, and will have ready for the press early this winter, a large ,and important report on the same. In this he will have the con currence of Mr. Fulton's studies of the coke question for the Cambria Iron Co. Mr. Fulton's elaborate map of the sur roundings of Johnstown will be an impor tant addition to the published data of the survey. Mr. Platt has attended to the subject of the use of well gas to iron work and will report upon it. It is for this report that we need a carefill chemical gas investign Lion Mr. Platt is now studying the geology of Canoe valley and Morrison's Cove, where his aid, Mr. Saunders, has been steadily at work all the season, making a complete contour line map of the ore country, and locating all the ore banks and outcrops.— We have recently received a present of copies of the large map of the Springfield furnace district. SOUTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA-GEOLOGY, COAL BEDS. Prof. Stevenson and his assistant, Mr. White, have completed the survey of Greene and Washington counties, and be fore snowfall will have added all of Alle gheny and Beaver lying south of the Obio river. The structure is for the first time made plain, the depth of the principal coal beds determined and designated on the maps in all parts of the district, and noth ing is wanting but a topographical con• toured map, which must be left for the future. Prof. Stevenson's intimate knowl edge of the geology of the Ohio coal fields, and his special studies of those of West Virginia, will enable him to harmonize them with that of southwest Pennsylvania. His report of 1875 will be ready for the printer on the Ist of . xpril, 1876, and will make 400 printed pages. If he could have a longer time he could condense it into a smaller compass. OIL REGIONS-SURVEYS, MAPS, OIL ROCKS Mr. Carl, with the assistance of Mr. Hatch and Mr. Hale, has completed his instrumental connection of the Ohio and New York outcrops across Pennsylvania, from Olean, through Warren and Mead ville, to Sharon. He has just finished a line survey through the Butler oil region and obtained valuable fresh results. This survey was to connect and extend his Venango work. The party have this week commenced the preliminary study of Clar ion. Mr. Carll has an immense field, crowded with facts of the highest import, ance, and there are questions to answer of vital interest to the petroleum trade. We may safely trust them to one so conscien tious in bis methods, so untiring in his diligence, and so experienced in the sub ject. DELAWARE WATER GAP AND BEAVER COUNTY, 311. Chance, after finishing his Lehigh and Delaware Water Gap maps and sec tions, was detailed to a special close study of the outcrops of the conglomerate and allied coals, along the Beaver waters, from Beaver to Ilarrisville, and from Beaver to Sharon and beyond, as far as Mr. Carll's lines. NORTIIERN PENNSYLVAIVIA, Mr. Sherwood, assisted by his brother, has completed his survey of the subcarbon ifcrous outcrops of Tioga county, and is following them through Bradford county. coloring them on the county maps and collecting fossils and minerals to illustrate his report. I expect a very important and interesting report from him this winter.— Geological - maps of my own made some years ago of the Towanda, and others of the Blossburg coal basins, can be added to it A special survey, lasting one week, was made of the little outlying coal basin at Renova, by Mr. Ilillin and Mr. Ash. burner, becau3c of its importance in con nection with Mr. Platt's report of Snow Shoe and Karthaus, and because extra facilities happened to present themselves PUBLICATIONS, The board adopted at the outset the policy of (1) publishing results as fast as obtained ; (2) publishing district report:; separately; (3) publishing its own illus trations with each report ; (4) stereotyping everything for future use. Mr. Wrigley's report was published first in the spring ; price, paper, 75 cents. Dr. Geoth's report B appeared in the early summer; price, paper. 50 cents. Mr. Carll's report, one of 127 pages— with 2 maps and one long section—and 7 engravings will be delivered for sale in a few days ; price, paper, GO cents. Mr. Prime's report of 70 pages— with one map. and 9 illustrations, is prom. ised in a few days; price, paper, 50 cents. Mr. Platt's report of 300 pages—with 7 maps, 1 page•tnap, 1 long section, 1 page section. and 133 page-cuts— is going through the press. The book ought not to be delayed more than to the end of this month. Price, paper, 81.50. Mr. M'Creath's. report M of about 113 pages, is more than half done, and may be on sale in a fortnight. Price, paper, 50 cents. M r. Frazier's report C of over 100 pages —two maps and ten cross sections and several page illustrations and plates of microscopic studies—has been delayed by the great difficulty in its preparation. Mr. Dewees' report is not yet written out for the printer and will therefore con tain not only his report fur 1874 hut much if not all of this year's work. Sections of Mr. Ashburner's are ready to print. Mr. Platt's report of Mr. Young's Youghiogany work, making at least 100 pages, is ready to go to press. The State printer has shown a desire to further the objects of the survey. Thanksgiving Proclamation. In the name and by the authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania : THANKSOIVING PROCLAMATION In the abundant crops with which Heav en has blessed us, in the absence of pesti lence and want from our midst, in the di minishing distrust that pervades the chan nels of trade, and the prospect not only of a revival of commerce and manufactures throughout all the States of the country, but a happy and cordial reunion of the people thereof, the nation has occasion for than kfulness. I respectfully ask, that the people of Pennsylvania, in accordance with the re commendation of the President of the United States, assemble on the 25th day of November, 1875, to give thanks to the Great Author of all blessings, and to petition for the continuance of the Divine favor to the nation and State. Given under my hand and the great seal of this state at Harrisburg,this eighth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy five and of the commonwealth the one hundredth. J. F. lIARTRANFT. By the Governor : M. S. QUAY, Secretary of the Commonwealth, John Corless has been arrested in Phil adelphia charged with negotiating forged Erie City Water Works bonds. Ile is said to have been a participant in the wholesale scheme to flood the country with spurious bonds of the New York Central, Western and Buffalo and Eric Railroads. Arrangements for the Centennial. The Act of Congress wiiieh i.h.l f.r '‘celebrating the one hundredth Anniver saty of Amerie'n Independence, by hold ing an International Exhibition of Arta, Manufactures, and Proc'nets of the Sod and Mine," authorised the creation of the United States Centennial Commission. and entrusted to it the management of the Ex hibition. This body is enttipos,. , l of two Commissioners from each State and Terri tory, nominated by the respective I:overn ors, and commissioned by the President of the United States. The enterprio, there fore, is distinctly a national one. anil not. as has sometimes been stated. the work of a private corporation. The Exhibition will be opened on May 10th, 1876, and remain open every day. except Sunday, until Novemher 10th. There will be a fixed price of 50 cents for admission to all the buildings and grounds. The Centennial grounds are situated ova the western bank of the Schulykill River, and within Fairmount Park, the largest public park in proximity to a great city in the world, anal one of the an Ott beauti ful in the country. The Park contain► 3160 acres, 450 of which have been en closel for the Exhibition. Beside , ' thin tract, there will be large yards near by for the Exhibition of stock. and a farm of 42 acres has already been suitably planted for the testa of plought mowers. reapers. and other agricultural machinery. The Exhibition buildings are appr..ach ed by eight lines of street cars. whit:4 con neet with all the other lines in the city, and by the Pennsylvania and Reading railroads, over the tracks of which trains will also run from the North Pena•ylva nia and Philadelphia. Wilmington. and Baltimore railroads. Thus the Exhibition is in immediate connection with the entire railroad system of the country,and any one with 90 miles of Philadelphia can visit it at no greater cost than that of eirriage hire at the Paris or Vienna Exhibition The articles to be exhibited have been classified in seven departments. which, for the most part, will be loeited in appn►- priate. buildings, whose several areas are as follOws : ti ILDIXtIr. 1,01111 , Vir I.RIII DEPAIMMT.

Anietex these are the photograph ers, the carriage builders. the triaAs mak ers, the cracker bakers. the boot and shoe manufactures, beside, quite a number of individual exhibitors. The great.lernands for space will probably render this rourse necessary to a considerable extent. i2spe cially for exhibitors who have been tardy. in making their applications. In' the Main Exhibition Building, for example. 333.300 square feet of space had beers ap plied for by the beginning of October by American exhibitors only ; Coe aggregate space which it has been po.si ble to reserve flu. the United States De partment, is only 160.000 square feet about one•third of which will be coi.surned by passage ways. The Machinery Building. like the' oth ers, is already fully covered by applications. There are about 1004) American exhibitors in this department. 150 English. 150 from (Aber European countries—which is abets! 2541 more than entered the Vienna 31.5. chinery Exhibition. . Extra provision is being made tlnt annexes to accommodate the hydraulic machinery, the steam ham mers, forges, hoisting engines, bode's. plumbers, carpenters, etc. Power in the Machinery Hall will be chiefly suplied by a pair of monster Cor liss Engines. Each cylinder is 40 inches in diameter, with a stroke of ten feet ; the fly-wheel is 31 feet in diameter, and weighs 55 tons ; the horse-power is 1-00: and the number of boilers is . This engine drives about a mile or ,hafting. For the Art Exhibition, the must emi nent American artists are understood to be at work, and it may be confidently sta ted that, especially in the department of landscape painting, the ruited states will present a finer display than the public has been led to expect. Quite aside from the contributions of American artists. appliea• tious from abroad call for more than lour times the exhibiting space afforded by the great Memorial Hall. Provision for the surplus will be made in temprary proof buildings, though all exhibiting na tiors will be represented in the central Art Gallery. Mr. Bell, the eminent English Sculpt for. who designed the groups for the plinth for the great Albert Memorial in Hyde Park, London, is reproducing in terracotta, at the celebrated works in Lambeth, the one which symbolises Amer ica. The figures in this group are colossal. covering a ground space of 13 feet *rare. It will probably be placed in the great central gallery, opposite the principal ea trance.
