Progress of tho State Ceologiaal Survey.
An Abstract of the Summers' Work.
The following abstract of Prof. J. P.
Lesley's report to the board of commis
sioners at their meeting on the 4th instant,
will give the public a good idea of what the
survey corps has clone during the summer.
Pr. T. Stcrry Iluut, 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 Boston,
and will present his report in due time
after making further researches.
Mr. M'Creath has finished all the
analysis of 1874, and has made good pro
gress in the analysis for 1873.
Mr. Allen has traveled through the state
collecting and arranging data for our vol
ume of railroad and other levels, and has
connected them with the levels of surround
ing states.
Dr. Genth has pursued his chemical stu
dies of minerals and rocks, and is at present
entirely occupied with nice and difficult
analysis of the waters of our mineral
springs.
Pr. Genth and Mr. McCrcath answer all
mincralogical inquiries made by citizens of
the state.
Pr. Lesqucvcus has examined the collec
tions of fossil plants in vrrious places and
is now writing desciptions and making
drawings, for the volume which will con
tain his report. It is to be a hand-book
for Pennsylvania and for the United States.
EASTLUN PENNSYLVANIA LIMESTONE
IKON ORES.
Prof. Prime, aided by Pr. Clarke and
Mr. Kent, lias completed the limcstons belt
of Lehigh county and will finish the lime
stone belt of Northampton county, before
snow falls. Vc shall then haw 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
ORES.
GEOLOGY AND
Prof. Frazer, aided bv Mr. Lehman, and
Mr. Edwards, has made section surveys
across the South mountain, and will soon
have completed the first draft of a complete
contour-line map of the mountain mass,
from side to side, and fur five or six miles
north and south of the Gettysburg-Cham-bevsburg
pike. Mr. Frazer's district is the
most difficult in the state, as yet occupied.
Much of his time has been spent in revising
his sections across York county, prepara
tory to printing his first report of progress,
which therefore includes a good deal of
187."). Pr. 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 only be worked
out in detail instrumentally, br the party.
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA, MAPS, GEOLOGY
AND FOSSIL ORES.
Mr. Dewees has continued his survev of
every opening along the entire extent of
the fossil ore outcrops ; and he has nearly
finished all that lies in union, Mifihn, Ju
niata and Huntingdon counties, from
Selinsgrove, on the Susquehanna, to the
south end of Black Log mountain, i. e. the
entire length of Jack's mountain and Shade
mountain, with the intermediate lines.
His report will be large, carefully made and
exhaustive.
Mr. Billen and Mr. Ashburncr, Mr. De
wees' aids, have been making a special sur
vey of A uch wick valley-, from Black Log
Gap and Orbisonia, around the end of
Jack's mountain, over Sideling Hill and
through Sideling Gap to Broad Top. Con
tour lined maps and cross sections are in
various stages of completion, and will soon
be ready for printing. They are now map
ping and studying the East Broad Top coal
basin, and will connect it with my own
large unpublished map of Broad Top made
some years ago, so that the whole can be
published next year.
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA GEOLOGY,
COAL MINES, NATURAL GAS AS FUEL.
Mr. Piatt, with the aid of his brother,
Mr. G. G. Piatt, has made a complete sur
vey of Cambria couct', locating and de
scribing every coal opening. He hac half
finished Somerset county, and expects to
finish the whole Vcfore 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
into suthcrn Somerset.
Mr. Young, under Mr. Piatt's directions,
has made a coke and coal survey of the
Youghiogany and Monongahela valleys,
from Connellsvillo to Pittsburgh, and will
have ready for the press early this winter,
a large and importiant report on the same.
In this he wiil have the concurrence of Mr.
Fulton's studies of the coke qucstiou for the
Cambria Iron Co.
Mr. Fulton's elaborate map of the sur
roundings of Johnstown will be an impor
tant additiou to the published data of the
survey.
Mr. Piatt 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 caret ul chemical gas investiga
tion. Mr. Piatt is now studying the geology
ot Canoe valley and Morrison s Cove, where
his aid, Mr. Saunders, has beea steadily at
work all the season, making a complete
contour line map or the ore country, and
locating all the ore banks and outcrops. We
have recently received a present of copies of
COUNTY, PA., NOVEMBER 18, 1875.
the large map of tie Springfield furnace
district.
SOUTH WEST PEN NSYLVANIA G EOLOG V,
COAL BEDS.
Prof. Stevenson and his assistants, Mr.
White, have completed the survey of Greene
and Washington counties, and before snow
fall will have added ail of Allegheny and
Beaver lying south of the Ohio river. The
structure is for the first time made plain,
the depth of the principal coal beds deter"
mined and designated on the maps in all
parts of the district, and nothing is wanting
but a topographical contoured map, which
must be left fur the future. Prof. Stevenson's
intimate knowlede of the geology of the
Ohio coal fields, and his special studies in
those of West Virginia, will enable him to
harmonize them with that of southwest
Pennsylvania. His report of 1875 will be
ready fur the printer on the 1st of April,
187G, and will make 400 printed pages. If
he could have a longer time be could con
dense it into a smaller compass.
OIL REGIONS SURVEYS, MAPS, OIL ROCKS.
Mr. Carll, with the assistance of Mr.
Hatch and Mr. Hale, has completed his in
strumental connection of the Ohio and New
York outcrops across Pennsylvania, from
Olcan, through Warren and Meadville, 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
1 tarty have this week commenced the pre
liminary study of Clarion. Mr. Carll has
an immense field, crowded with facts of the
highest importance, and there are questions
to answer of vital interest to the petroleum
trade. We may safely trust them to one so
conscientious in his methods, so untirintr
in his diligence; and so experieuced in the
subject.
DELAWARE WATER GAP AND BEAVER
COUNTY.
Mr. Chauce, 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
Leaver to Harrisville, and from Beaver to
Sharon and beyond, as far as Mr. Carll's
lines.
NORTHERN PEN NS Y LVANI A.
Mr. Sherwood, assisted by his brother,
has completed his survey of the subcarbon-
iferous outcrops of Tioga county, and is
lollowing them through Bradford county,
coloring them on the county maps and col
lecting iossils and minerals to illustrate his
report. I expect a very imprtant and in
teresting report from him this winter.
Geological maps of my own made some
years ago of the Towanda, and others of
the Llossburg coal basius, can be added to
it. A special survev, last in1' one week.
was made of the little outlving coal basin
at Renova, by Mr. Billin and Mr. Ash
burner, because of its important- in con
nection with Mr. 1 latt s report of Snow
Shoe and Karthau', and because extra fa
cilities happened to present themselves.
PUBLICATIONS.
The board adopted at the outset the
policy of (1) publishing results as fast as
obtained ; (2) publishing district reports
separately ; () publishing its own illustra
tions with each report ; (4) stereotyping
everything for future use.
Mr. Wrigley's report was published first
in the spring ; price, paper, 75 cents.
Dr. Gcnth's report B. appeared in the
early summer ; price, paper, 50 cents.
31 r. Carll's report, one of 127 pages
with 2 maps and one long section and 7
engravinrrs will be delivered for sale in a
few days ; price, paper, GO cents.
Mr. Prime's report of 70 pages with
one map, and ) illustrations, is promised in
a few days : trice, paper, 50 cents.
Mr. Piatt's report of o00 pages with 7
maps, 1 page-map, 1 long section, 1 page
section, and 1 '.V.t page-cuts is going through
the press. The book ought not to be de
layed more than to the end of this month.
Price, paper, SI. 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, taper, 50
cents.
Mr. Frazier's report C of over 100 pages
two maps and ten cross sections and sev
eral page illustrations and plates of micro
scopic 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 contain
not only his repot fur 1874 but much if
not all of this year's work. Sections of
Mr. Ashburncr's are ready to print.
Mr. Piatt's report of Mr. Young's Yough
iogany work, making at least 100 pages, is
ready to go to press.
The state grintor has shown a desire to
further the objects of the surve'.
A Curious Tree.
A curious freak of nature can bo seen
near Eureka, California. It is in the shape
of a tree seventy-five feet high, one portion
of which is pine and the other fir. The
body, from the ground to a distance of
thirty teet, is pine, and then, lor a distance
of twenty feet, it is fir .The remaining
twenty-five feet, like the lower portion, is
pine. The fir portion of the tree is in a
nourishing condition, the iuhage on that
part being so dense that the trunk or limbs
can hardly be seen through it. On the
pine portion the leaves are rather scarce.
It is a rare curiosity, and attracts the at
tention of everybody who passes it.

Headquarters
Republican State Committee,
Philadelphia, Nov. 0, 1875.
Rcjnillicaiis of Pennsylvania :
It was a grand response you made in
November to the greetings of our brethren
in Ohio, Nebraska, and Iowa, sent in Oc
tober. It gives you occasion for sincere
sclf-gratulation ; it justifies -our shouts of
triumph echoing, cheeringly from the
Delaware to Lake Erie.
Splendid as have been your record and
achievements in the past, you may well
poir.t with pride to your victory on Tues
day last a pride renewed, emphasized, and
re-enferced by the verdict of a great people.
You have easily placed yourselves at the
head of the Republican column of eighteen
hundred and seventy-six.
In all respects, this victory is significant
and complete.
Your candidates were honest, your princi
ples were righteous. The verdict concludes
that discussion.
General Hartranft, illustrious with his
military service, had won added fame by a
pure and signally successful civic career.
Your gratitude, your patriotism, and your
solicitude for the welfare of the State com
pelled his continuance in the position of
highest responsibility.
With a knowledge, begotten of proof, of
the integrity of the State Treasury manage
ment, and with the actual demonstration
that there was not now and never, under
Republican officers, had been a defalcation
to the amount of one dollar of the public
moneys, you had the manhood and the
courage to vindicate, boldy, your Treasury
officers from the unfounded, false, and
indecent charges of the political tramps
who pursued them with malignant falsehood.
With the calmness and patience of a
patriotic and intelligent people, you dis
cussed the existing financial question, strip
ped ot disguises, and determined to sustain
the national faith and common honesty in
public affairs, and set the seal of your
comdemnatiun upon repudiation and all the
insidious attempts to compass repudiation.
Against you was arrayed a motley but
numerous host, discordant in principles.
united only in the pursuit of power and
plunder. They clamored for a change,
but only onercd delusive promises and
fraudulent pretences of reform ; they exag
gerated the public distress (neither the
existence nor remedy for which is to be
found in governmental, but in social
causes); they stimulated uneasiness in the
public mind ; they filled the land with
inflammatory addresses and inflated pro
clamations ; they vexed your ears with
screaming oratory with and turbid blatant
declamation ; they charged that "there was
something wronir." but proved nothing.
Madness and seuilitv seemed to rule the
hour
In all this chaos you stood firm, nor
were you tripped in your judgment, or
swayed from your integrity.
r rom tlie brawlers and demogogues j-ou
extorted your triumph, and have exalted
the strength of the people in a Republican
Government.
The waves of political sophistry and
financial heresy, bearing menace and danger
to national honor, and to 3-our most sacred
educational and religious institutions, were
stayed and broken by the firm walls of your
own Alleghemes ; democratic wrecks and
stranded dift-wood. now and then, alone,
marking the subsidence of this tide of folly
and claptray.
Refoicing as -ou do, remember that your
victory is the iruit of organization, laborious
and minute, and that without organization,
your tower is gone and your energies are
useless.
Stand by 3'our guns, maintaiu your rauks.
take the touch of elbows, and hold your
selves in readiness for the final charge along
the entire line, which shall result in the
corwning triumph of your Centennial year,
and which shall start you in the second
century of national existence, under the
auspicious rule of the great historical Re
publican party.

A WIFE'S FEARFUL VEKGERANCE.
She Cuts the Leg off Her Unconscious
Husband VVlth a Saw.
A drunken woman performed an extra-ordinarj-
surgical operation upon her hus
band in Cleveland, Ohio, one day about a
week ago. Both were under the influence
of liquor at the time and had been on a
spree all da3, which finally resulted in a
terrible fight. The woman received a bad
beating, and infuriated bej-ond reason by
drink, planned and executed a most dia
bolical revenge. She first induced her
spouse to go to bed, and then, procuring
some chloroform, saturated a handkerhcief
and held it to his nostrils till he was entire
ly unconsciwus. She next procured an old
carpenter's saw and soon had cut one of the
man's legs off a little above the ankle joint.
With grim satisfaction she watched his life
blood ooze awa3, but was aroused from her
reveries by some neighbors, who, seeing
the situation at a glance, tied up the bleed
ing member, the man remaining, uncon
scious all the time. The female fiend has
been arrested and is lodged in jail.
The Titusville Courier furnishes the fol
lowing : "On Saturday last, at tho house
of Mr. J. J. Vanselvcr the lightning struck
a window pane, cutting a hole about three
or four iuches in diameter, as clean as
though it were cut with a diamond. The
lectrio fluid then passed down the window
frame into the ground.

stowed upon us as a nation, and for His
mercies and protection during the closing
year. Amid the rich and free enjoyment,
of all our advantages we should not forirct
the source from whence they are derived;
and the extent ot. our obligations to the
Father of all Mercies.
We have full reason to renew our thanks
to Almighty God for favors bestowed upon?
as during the past year. By His continu-
ing mercy, civil and religious liberty have
been maintained, peace lias reigned within
our borders, labor and enterprise have pro
duced their merited rewards, and to His"
watchful providence we are indebted to se
curity from pestilential and other national
calamity. Apart from national blessings,
each individual among us has occasion to'
thoughtfully recall and devoutly recognize
the favors and protection which ho has en
joyed. Now, therefore, I, Ulysses S. Grant,
President of the United States, do recom
mend that cn Thursday, the 25th day of
November, the people of the United States
abstaining from all secular pursuits and
from the accustomed avocations, do as
semble in their respective places of worship
and, in such form as may seem most ap
propriate in their own hearts, offer to Al
mighty God their acknowledgements and
thanks for all His mercies, and their hum "
ble prayers for a continuance of His Divine
favor.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set
1113' hand and caused the seal cf the United
States to be affixed. Done at the City of
Washington this 27th day of October, in
the 3rear of our Lord 1875, and of the In
dependence of the United States of 100th.

Singular Remedy for a Hurt.
Mention Las been made cf the case of A'.
R. Smoot, commission merchant, who was
so seriously injured on the 8th inst. by
jumping from some boxes on Light street
wharf on a nail two and a half inches in
length, which passed nearly through his
foot, firmly clinching him to the floor. Mr.:
Smont subsequently received per mad a pos
tal card from some kind hearted friend,
which read as follows : "Reading of your
painful accident in this morning's paper
(the Sun), I take the liberty of sending 3-ou
a remedy which is considered infallible. It
is simjuy to smoke the wound or bruise
that is inflamed with burning wool cr Wool
en cloth 20 miuutes. The smoke of wool
will take the pain out of the wound. Re
peat cuce or twice. It will allay the worst
case of inflammation arising from a wound.
I hope you will try the remedy and be ben--efited.
S3"mpathizer."
Mr. Smoot lost no time in resorting to
the remed3, though it was somewhat dif
ferent from the hypodermieal treatment ad
ministered 13T the physicians. An old iron
pot, of extra dimensions, such as are used
in the Old Dominion, Mr. Smoot's place o
nativity, was immediately brought into re
quisition and filled with the remedial agents.
A dense smoke was raised from the burn-"
ing wool, enough to smoke out all the
Macbeth witches in the cantation scene, and
with perfect success. Mr. Smoot' desires
his most heartfelt thanks to be returned to
the kind-hearted sympathizer, and is happy
to say he experienced the greatest relief in
die application of the remedy. New. life,,
as it were, and motion was resorted to the
afflicted limb, and ho enjoyed a delightful
rest after the operation. The facts of tho
case are sent to the Sun as of value to all
who ma3T be similarly wounded. Baiv.norc

forgeries or frauds ou which the notes may
throw light may be answered. The stock

Some two j'ears ago a little daughter o?
John B. Searies, of Pottstown, swallowed
a pin. Everything that medical skill could
suggest was done to remove the pin, but
without avail. At least it was believed
that it still remained, for the reason that
the child soon became ill, and remained un
well up to within a few days ago, when
during a severe spell of coughing, she raised
the pin and spit it out. The pin was black
as ink, and rusted away until it was scar
cely thicker than a hair. The child is now
improving rapidty.
