The following is from Prof. Hayden's article on the Yellowstone, in the February number of Scrtbner'a. This article is the second in a series on "The Wonders of the West:" From the river our ' path led up the steep sides of the hill for about one mile, when we came suddenly and unexpectedly in full view of the springs. This wonder alone, our whole company agreed, surpass ed all the descriptions which had been given by former travelers. Indeed, the Langford party saw nothing of this. Be fore us arose a high white mountain, look ing precisely like a frozen cascade. . It is formed by the calcareous sediment of the hot springs, precipitated from the water as if flows tdown .the steep declivities, of ine mountain , side. . The upper portion is about one thousand feet above the waters of Gaidincr's River. The surface covered with the deposit comprises from three to four square miles.' The springs now in active operation cover an area of about one square mile, while the rest of the territory is occupied by the remains of springs which have long since ceased to flow. pitched our camp upon a grassy terrace at the base of the principal group of active springs. Just in the rear of us were a series of reservoirs or bath ing pools, rising one above the other, semicircular in form, with most elegantly seal. oped margins composed of calcareous matter, the sediment precipitated from the water of the spring. The hill, which is about two hundred feet high, presents the appearance of water congealed by frost as it quickly flows down a rocky declivity. The deposit is as white as snow, except when tinged here and there with iron or sulphur. Small streams flow down the side of the snowy mountain, in channels lined with oxide of iron colored with the most delicate tints of red. Others present the most exquisite shades of yel low, from a deep bright sulphur to a dainty cream color. In the springs and in the little channels is a material like the fiu est Cashmere wool, with its slender fibers floating in the water, vibrating with the movement of the current, aud tinged with various shades of red and yollow, as bright as those of our aniline dyes. These delicate wool like masses arc undoubtedly plants, which seem tube abundantin all the hot springs of the West, and are familiar to the microscopist as diatoms. Upon a kind of terrace coveridg an area of two humdrcd yards in length. and fifteen in width are several large springs in a con stant state of agitation, but with a some what lower temperature than the boiling point. The hottest spring is 1G2 : others are 142, 153, and 15G, respectively. Some of them give off the odor of sulphuretted hydrogen quite perceptibly. A qualitative analysis shows the water to contain sulphuretted hydrogen, lime, soda, alumina, and a small amount of magnesia. It is beautifully clear, aud slightly alkaline to the taste. The water after rising from the spring basins flows down the sides of the declivity, step by step, from one reservoir to the other, at each one of them losing a portion of its heat, until it become as cool as spring water. Within five hundred feet of its source our large party camped for two days by the side of the little stream formed by the aggregated waters of these hot springs, and we found the water most excellent for drinking as well as cooking purposes. It was perfectly clear, and tasteless, and harmless in its effects. During our stay here all the members of our party, as well, as the soldiers comprising our escort, enjoyed the luxury of bathing in these most elegantly carved natural bathing pools, and it was easy to select, from the hundreds of re servoirs, water of every variety of temperature. These natural basins vary somewhat in size, but many of them are about four by six feet in diameter, and oue to four feet in depth. With a foresight worthy of commendation, two men have already pre empted 320 acres of land covering most of the surface oc cupied by the active springs,' with the expectation that upon the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad this 'will become a famous place : of resort for invalids and pleasure-seekers. Indeed, no future tourist traveling over the Far West will think of neglecting this most wonderful of the physical phenomena of that most interesting region. The level or terrace upon which the principal active springs are located is about midway up the side of the mountain covered with the sediment. Still further up are the old ruins of what must have been at some period of the past even more active springs than any at present known. The sides of the mountain for two or three hundred feet in height are covered with a thick crust of the calcareous de posit, which was originally ornamented with the most elegant sculpturing all over the surface, like the bathing pools below. But atmospheric agencies, which act readily on the lime, have obliterated all their delicate beauty. Chimneys partially broken' dowu are scattered about here and there, with apertures varying is size from two inches to two feetiu diameter. Long, rounded ridges are also quite numereous, with fissures extending the entire length, from which the boiling water issued forth and flowed over the sides. Thus 1 the sediment was continually precipitated in thin oval layers, so that a section of these oblong chimneys presents the appearance of layers of bay in a stack, or the thatch ed cubin of a- peasant. Some of these chimneys were undoubtedly formed by geysers, now extinct ; others by what may be called spouting-spriogs, as those which are in a constant state of violent obulli tion; throwing the water, up two to four feet -a phenomenon intermediate between a boiling spring and a true geyser. The water is forced up through: an orifice in the earth by hydrostatic pressure, and overflowing, -precipitates the sediment around it ; and thus, in time, it builds up a mound varying in height according to the force 'of this pressure. One of these cones is very remarkable, surpass ing any observed 'in any other portion of the West.; From its peculiar form we almost involuntarily named it the "Lib erty Cap." It'Ts" entirely composed of carbonate of lime, , in flexible cap-like layers, .with a diameter at 'the. '.base of fifteen" feet,' 'and 'a 'height of about forty feet. It is completely closed over at the summit. This is probably an extinct geyser, and was the most powerful one of this group:. ; : ; SHOCKING, RAILROAD ACCIDENT. A TRAIN WnEKCED BY A BROKEN. RAIL NINE PERSONS KILLED AND MANY IN JURED. " ' ' ! " ' Maucii CnuNK, Feb. 1. A diorrible accident occurred this' morning on the Lehigh Valley Railroad at a point on the road two miles from Mud Run and one from Rockport. Tho Buffalo . express train, due at Hockport VA) a. m., and having three passenger cars, the second and third being respectively the North Pennsylvania through to Philadelphia, and the New-Jersey Central through to New-York, was passing this point, when, after the engine, baggage wagon, and one paasscnger car had gone on safely, a rail broke, causing the secoudcar to jump the track and go down an embankment 25 feet high, dragging ofl the car following it. Both cars were empletely .wrecked. As soon as the passengers were removed from the wreck, the secon car, which was warmed by Baker's patent heater, took fire. Only - two of the passengers in the wrecked cars escaped uninjured. Five of the passengers were killed instantly, and four have since died of their wounds. Sixteen persons, beside, were more or less injured. The wounded were removed to Mauch Chunk, by the company's officers, and all possible care afforded them. The Mansion House was placed at their dis posal, and the people of the city rendered all the assistance in . their power. The names of the persons killed are as fol lows : Mrs. Pratorius, wife of Prof. Pratorius, Wiikesbarre ; Mrs. Still and ehild, (col ored), Reading ; Mrs. Miller, Tannery, Penn. ; J. A. Smith, Wiikesbarre. The names of the persons injured (of whom four, whose names arc not reported, have since died), are as follows : Judge Dana, Wiikesbarre, arm and shoulder broken ; Mrs. Tjaxel, Wiikes barre, badly ; J. II. Mellon, Towanda, slightly; John Lally, Pittston, slightly ; Marry A. Spaid, Wiikesbarre, seriously ; Mrs.'Montanye, Brooklyn, slightly ; Luth er Woodward, Wiikesbarre, slightly; Kate Nearcast, Mahoney City, slightly ; Jane Kilpatrick, New-York, slightly; George - Brader, . Whiteheaven, danger ously ; John Cox, Bethlehem ; badly ; Mr. Wolff, Whiteheaven, fatally ; Mr. II. Rivel, Philadelphia, slightly ; J. Yon ker, brakeman, Philadelphia, slightly; Abel Kelsey, Ilickoay Run, slightly; Charles Timmons, engineer, Pittston, slightly; P. II. Oillick, Hickory Run, badly; Aaron Whittaker, Whiteheaven, slightly ; Noah C. Mitteman, Bethlehem, slightly; Eli Seigfroid, conductor, Kastoo, slightly. All the dead have been claimed and taken charge of by their-friends. The Lehigh Valley Railroad has had the rep utation of being well managed, and this is the first .time that a passenger had been killed on it. . : . . . f Another outlet forlhe products of our vast aothrncitej field ,of Pennsylvania is opened in the great and growing North west by the North Pacific railroad. On the ; 10th iost. the first car load of coal over the sew transcontinental route was sent from Duluth, across the State of Minnesota, to Moorehead, on the eastern frontier , of Dakota., The rich country which the North Pacific is bringing into close and easy communication with the Atlantio seaboard has large deposits of bituminous coal, but no traces of anthra cite have been or are, judging from care ful geological surreys, likely to be found. For bard coal Pennsylvania's fields will be drawn upon, and the black diamonds can be sent cheaply . from here to the West. From Krie in our State coal can be carried to Duluth, for one dollar per ton by vesseU bringing grain to that lake port, which would otherwise be compell ed to return in ballast. Duluth will, there fore, soon . become the great 'anthracite receiving point of the Northwestern States aud Territories, and the North Pacific road the medium of distribution through out the region where it will be needed in large quantities... Jacob Urban, Sen , of Cooestoga town ship, Lancaster county, is the owner of a heifer that recently gave birth to three fine, healthy looking calves. When one day old the - three weighed HO poinds, aud they are so much alike in all respects that it is almost iaipossible to tell them j apart. FREAKS OF FORTUNE. Some Strange and Interesting Facts In the History of the Reno Oil Company. The vicissitudes of the Reno Oil Com pany have been somewhat remarkable. Our readers will doubtless remember its sudden colhpse, which culminated in the failure of Culver, Pcnn & Co., and the closing up of the Venango National Bank, the Oil City Banks, Crawford County Bank, and other banking houses through out that section of Pennsylvania. Some months after the failure it was publicly announced that the depositors in the dif ferent batiks above named could receive payment of their claims in Reno stock at its per value. A large majority of the depositors accepted the proposition, while others, less hopeful or credulous, either refused altogether, or, even after accept ing the proposition, afterwards sold their stock at ruinously low prices. But the confiding holders were to reap their re ward. - '. Last winter and spring large producing wells were struck in the company's terri tory, and on the first day of July, 1871, a dividend of three per cent, was declar ed. Reno stock naturally rose rapidly in value, and everything progrcsed favor ably during the summer and fall. But a still further success was achieved when, on the 2d of January, of this year, the Reno Company declared another dividend of three per cent , and simultaneously announced that all owners of stock in less amounts tban 81000 would receive par for the same. Larger holders are receiv ing twenty per cent, of their stock, and a new certificate of stock for the balance. The production of oil at Reno is now said to amount to about two hundred and six ty barrels per day, and at that rate would yield a gross income of over 375,000 per year. But the company owns over twelve hundred acres of land, and upon only ten or twelve acres have wells as yet developed. At present, the winter season being unfavorable, the company are sinking but few new wells ; but with the approach of spring and warm weath er they intend to put large portions of their territory in full operation. Serious Results from Extreme Cold. Chicago, Feb. 1. Reports now com ing to band from the Northwest show that the change in the temperature, Saturday night and Sunday, was much greater than first stated and that there has been great suffering and some cases of loss of life on the plains. A special despatch from Sioux City, to the Times, says several deaths occurred near that city from exposure. Two men, father and son, named Patrick and Mich ael Jordan, were frozen to death on Percy creek, ten miles north of that place. When found the bodies were within twen ty rods of a house. They had come six or seven miles for a load of wood and were overtaken sud denly by the storm, when they became bewildered and could not reach shelter. Three men, Hollanders, whose names are unknown, were frozen to death in Rock river, in Siox county, on Sunday. A special despatch to the Journal, from Vermilion, Dakota, says several per sons have perished from cold iu that val ley. Two boys were caught in the storm near Lodi, and one was frozen to death and. the other had his arm and legs so badly frozen that they will , have to be amputated. Two men are reported dead from cold on Turkey creek, in Dakota, about 15 miles from here, and several other deaths are reported, the particulars of which have not been receive !. The storm was of unprecedented severity and will be long remembered. A train on the Illinois Central railroad, due at Sioux City, Saturday, 27th ult., is lying at Lemars, with no immediate pros pect of getting through. It will probably not reach there before to night. The road is completely blocked. -The snow is packed very . -hard and will have to be shoveled. , : i The horror of the famine in Persia has not yet reached its climax. Major S. A. Smith, assistant resident, writing from Bushire, says the . people arc worn to skeleton?, the children "to famished beasts," and some of them are always trodden down and killed in the daily rush for English rice. Mr. A. J. S. Adams, traveling in Teheran about two months ago, in a note published by the Sunder land Times, that in the crowds who swarm in the barrack square to receive a dole of small silver from the shah, hund reds men and women are literally stark naked, worn to the bone, and cover ed with sores. The people follow their visitor howling for bread ; "two men lie upon the ground, quite dead, and a third is laid upon one side of the bazar, covered with a piece of diny cotton. A naked woman lies in the agonies of death, sur rounded by a crowd of beings almost as badly off as herself. The next form is that of a woman, who scrapes from the grouud a handful of melon seeds and filth, which she divides between her two children." This is one morning's ride. There is no help for any of them. Recent accounts from British Colum bia state that mining is proving success ful and remunerative to those engaged in it. G'oM to the value cf 74,115 was as sayed at the government assay office dur ing November. The yield of the Omine ca mines during the past season was $100,000. Possessed by the Devil Horrible Case of Supersition in Susquehanna coun ty, Pa. A correspondent writes from Great Bend to the Montrose Republican the following account . of a terrible case of superstition and its results, gathered from an eye witnesses of the affair: A Mr. Eli Stowe and wife, living in Randolph, some four miles from the Bend (Nazarites), becoming possessed with the idea that the devil had entered into their child (a babe only eighteen. months old), and that the evil spirit must be con quered by whipping, and starving, are said to have tied the helpless infant in a high chair for twenty-three hours, ever and anon spankling and whipping it, un til when discovered it was said to be 'black and blue" from its neck to its heels, and its little quivering flesh so cut and mangled by the lash that the blood actually trickled down the chair to the floor.' The alarm was given by the hired man, who hastened to the child's grand-parent, a Mr. Kent, living near Windsor village, who, on learning the facts, hastened as fast as whip and spur could urge a fleet horse, and reaching the house of the in fatuated parents, actually found the babe undergoing crucifixion at the bands of the father and mother, as above stated. A few hours longer must have ended its sufferings, as the child seemed to be so exhausted as to be nearly insensible. A thrill of horror seemed to pervade that community, and a universal murmur for the law to have its weight. The parents have heretofore been regarded as good citizens, and the cause of this, temporary religious insanity is unknown. Money Saving. In address delivered last week, Horace Greeley said he thought the worse thing about working men was that too many of them felt impelled to spend what they might save because no special reason was brought home for saying. If all the young working men would save two dollars a week from the time they are twenty-one until they are twenty five years old which is about the age most of them get married at, they would soon find themselves in comfortable circumstances. It was not by strikes nor by high wages that the work ing man's condition could be improved. What is the good of one body of men or ganizing for a strike, when, for each man who demanded higher pay declined to work if it wa3 refused him, there were a dozen ready and willing to work for any price the employer might name ? And as to high wages, the very fact that wages were increased was an indication that the expensesof living would be also increased. Every man should own a piece of ground ; that was the first start. Except where they found a final resting place too few working men owned any now; yet there were five hundred places about New York where land might be bought at such a moderate price as it would bring for raising potatoes alone. In these places the working men might buy and plant their shade and fruit trees, and in time raise up villages. He would gladly sec fifty organizations of working men band ed together for such a purpose,' for they would have au object in saving their money. Detectives on Thursday last, arrest ed Henry C. Comcgys, Doctor S. L Sworuisted and Doctor James H. Ludwig, all residents of Baltimore, charged with defrauding by false checks and forged letters the First National Bank of Washington, D. C-, out of thirty six hun dred dollars, and various other banks and bankers at Pittsbarg, Pa , Alexandria, Ya., Richmond, Va., and elsewhere, amounting in all tol about twenty five thousand dollars. The accused par tics are now in jail waiting further investigation. A remarkable illustration of the bene fits of having the small-pox is reported from Troy. A man who had been insane for over two years, caught the contagion, and, after the usual run of the disease, recovered not only his health, -but his senses, aud is to day both physicially and mcntally a well man. He is a carpenter by trade, and is about to resume work. ; One evening in company, during con versation, gentleman quoted the expres sion, that "Man proposes, and God dis poses" "Yes," said a maiden present, "a man proposed to me once, I said no. and have never seen him since, so I thought somebody had disposed of him." At an Indiana breakfast table a trave ler from the East handed to one of his fellow-travelers a plate of sausage, where upon the question war asked, "Is it safe?" To which was replied. "This is a prolific hog country, and it is safe to cat sausage wherever hog is cheaper than dog. . ; The year 1872 promises to be remark able both her and in Europe for easy money markets, and an unprecedented demand for and advance in prices of what are call ed first class investinient securities, such as government and first mortgage railway bonds.

Milwaukee is manufacturing ngricul turu.1 machinery to be seut to Japau. rpi "Poof Of all parts of the body, there is no one which ought to be so carefully attend ed to as the feet. Every person knows from experience, that colds, and many other diseases which proceed from the same, are attributable to cold feet. The feet are at such a distance from "the wheel at the cistern" of the system, that the circulation of the blood may be very easily checked in them. Yet, for all thi; and although every person of common sense should be aware of the truth of what we have stated, there is no part of the body so much trifled with as the feet. The young and would-be genteel footed cramp their feet into thin soled, bone pinching boots, in order to display neat feet, in the fashionable sense of the term. Now this is very wrong. In cold weather; boots of good thick leather, both in soles and 1 uppers, and large enough ; to givo free circulation of the blood in the feet, should be worn by all. They should ba water light and warm, but not air tight. It injures the feet to wear air tight covering over them. India rubber shoes or boots should uot be worn except in wet and slushy weather, and then taken off as soon as the exposure, to it is over. No part of tho body should be al lowed to have a covering that entirely abstructs the passage of the carbonic acid gas from the pores of the skin outwards, and the moderate passage of the air in wards to the skin. Life can be destroyed in a very short time by stopping thesa little pores of the skin. There is ona great evil against which every person should be on the guard, and it is one which is seldom guarded against. We mean the changing of warm for cold shoes or boots. A change is often made from thick to thin soled shoes, without reflecting upon the consequences . which might ensue. It is a dangerous practice, and many an individual has suffered hours of illiness because of it. Waste Paper! Few housekeepers are' aware of tho" many uses to which waste paper may be put. After a stove has been blackened; it may be kept looking very well for a long time by rubbing with paper every morning. Rubbing with paper is a much, nicer way of keeping the outsides of a tea kettle, coffee pot, and tea pot bright and clean, than the old way of washing them in suds. Rubbing with paper is also tho best way of polishing knives and tin ware, after scouring. This saves wetting knife handles. If a little flour be held on the paper, in rubbing tin ware and spoons, they shine like new silver. For polish ing mirrors, windows, lamp chimneys, &c, paper is better than dry cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much better if borwn, paper instead of cloth is tied over the jar. Paper is much better to put under a car pet than straw. It is warmer, thinner, and makes less noise when one walks over it. Two thicknesses of paper, placed be tween other coverings on a bed, are-' as warm as a quilt, . . . Pork Cake. Half a pound of salt pork chopped fine, two cups of boiling water poured over it, two cups of molasses, four cups of sugar, two heaping teaspoous of ground cloves, four of cinnamon, two nutmegs, two large teaspoons of soda, and flour enough to make of the consistency of gingerbread ; add two pounds of raisins, one of currants, half a pound of citron. This will make two large loaves. Carpeted Floors. . . When a carpet i3 taken up to tie' cleaned, the floor beneath it is generally very much covered with dust. This dust is very fine, dry, and poisonous to the lungs. Before removing it, sprinkle the floor with very dilute carbolic acid, to kill any poisonous germs tnat'uiay be present, and to thoroughly disinfect the floor ren der it sweet. Journal oj Chemistry.
