Newton Hamilton, Pa.
Slackwater. —Some preliminary meas
ures have been taken with a view of
adapting the Juniata to slackwater navi
gation. There is certainly nothing in the
road to prevent this from being carried
out. as the fall of water from the Newton
Hamilton dam down is quite regular, and
from thence to Huntingdon but little dif
ficulty would be encountered. Such a
change would soon create steam naviga
tiand present a sight few ever aaltci
pated on the " Blue Juniata." It has al
ways appeared to us that a channel for
light draught boats—such as arc used on
tii* Ohio—could be made at a eompara
tiv y small expense, by removing rocks
and stones for a breadth of 50 or 100 feet,
although in many places the river ap
pear- lite shallow to the eye, the real
dt-j en the riffles is never less than from
on. ' - two feet, as any one can test by an
attempt at wading, and in most places
no. li more. Many boats on the Ohio
draw only about 2U inches, so that navi
gation here is not so unfavorable as some
imagine. fr it is evident that if even a
channel, such as we speak of. were clean
ed out. i flat b ttom steamer could make
its way I rum Duncan s Island to the old
Au- iiwick Falls at the present stage of
wanr without difficulty.
Middle Creek Railroad, —The corps of en
gineer- employed to locate this road have
corn p. -i tin- survey to the old Roth rock
Mi!!, a out o; miles from town, from
v. •■nee we learn a re-survey will be made
to Liiieysville, in order to test the praeti
. y *•; that route. It is the intention
of tin mi any to get towork next month.
> .I:H a 1 iitional stock has been secured,
- .hat but a comparatively small amount
r .mams to be provided for. Whatever
(!;::< fences of opinion may exist a- to the
proj nety or impropriety of sundry pro
i tilings, we are sure all will be rejoiced
to see the road commenced, and if it i
then prosecuted with any degree of wis
lom, we believe capital enough can be
-ecured to grade it.

loved ones been taken from us. Of sucli
childish charms, so gentle and affect ion
-] ate in disposition, her clear blue eve. ol
- singular brilliancy and beauty, spoke that
| depth ot tenuernc.-.- and sensibility that
made her the idol of her home and of her
! loved Sabbath School. How deeply dis
, tres-ing to see -ucli youth and gentleness
torture! with such severe agonies as thi
j dear child was called UJHOU to endure—
pains almost as great as we could suppose
1 1 possible to humanity. In a tempo ran
t; respite the little sufferer uttered with a
, sigh of relief the touching exclamation.
' O, I think i will lie so comfortably in
my coffin. Alas ! for <diildhood to be so
troubled as "to be glad when it can find
the grave," and to say with Job, "For
now should I have lain still and been
quiet. I should have slept, then had I been
at rest. Her childish faith proved strung
as a .Luther in this liery trial. She want-
I ed her Superintendent and Pastor ever at
her bedside, and at prayer—she prayed
, j audibly, using often the forms of child
hood—she talked'constantly of the Sab
bath school and of her love to Jesus, am!
told all with delight how once a host of
angels filled the room and smiled and
beckoned to her, so that she knew invisi
ble friends were near. On Thursday af
ternoon, with falling tears, we followed
her to her place of sleep in the C'eirwterv.

which loci him to the conclusion thai
the avenue power ot a horse was sul
rieietit to raise about 33,000 II s. oi.e
toot in vertical height per minute, and
this Las been ad< j>te<i in England aim
ihis country as the general measureo'
; power.
A waterfall has one horse power for
every oJ.OoO lbs, ol water 'lowing ii.
the stream per minute, for each footoi
tail. To compute the power of a stream
therefore, multiply the area of its eros
seetion in feet by the velocity in feet jl
per minule, and we have the numbei
a cubic feet flowing along tlie stream
per minute. Multiply this by 6s, the
number of pounds in a cubic foot ot
water, and this by the vertical fall ii.
feet, and we have the foot-pounds pei
minute of the fall; dividing by 33,00"
gives us the horse power.
For example: a stream flows through 1
a Hume 10 feet wide, and the depth of
the water is 4 feet; the area of the cross
- <ti ti w ill be 4" It. The velocity i.-
lo • feet per minute—T'xloO equal to
0000, equal to the cubic feet of water
flowing per minute—6oooxo2} equal to
375.000, equal to the pounds of water
flowing per min. The width is 10 feet;
lux'ii .'.OoO equal to 3.750.0b0 equal to
the foot pounds of the waterfall. lJi
vide 3.750.000 by 33,000, and wc have
113 21 33 as the hotse power of the
fall.
i he power of a steam engine is ea!
'•ulated by multiplying together the
area of the piston in inches, the mean
pressure in pounds per square inch,
the length of the stroke in feet, and '
the number of strokes per minute, and
dividing by 33,000.
Water whe< ;> yield from .VJtnlil

per cent of the "water The actual
power of a steam engine in less than
the indicated power, owing to a : loss
from friction; the ainoant of this loss
