To measure land, place one point ut the starling place, and the other also on the ground in a straight line for destination ; bland along side the machine wkh one hand on top of it : take one step forward, tip tip the point that is behind, sin it around (from youl on the other point a:id set it in the line also. A person iu this manner ran meas ure correctly us last as he can walk. Three paces make a rod walk straight llhout stoppiuir, count the spaces, divide these by three and vou have the number ol roos.

The reputa tion these gentlemen enjoy as teachers is a sufficient guarantee of success. The comparative force of gunpowder and dynamite was (iiscussed by two min ers at Tanka, Cal.

And be laughed all over when he remark ed that it them birds came here with any idea of winter being done, and with the intention ot building nests to go into the housekeeping business, "they were the blankest deluded roliias be ever seed." We presume they are. Juhntoicn Tri bune. Worrell's u kp.dne.ss. A terrible attempt at incendnmsin was made at Claysviile, Washington county, about a month ago. the particulars of w hieh are as follows : A young nun maned James Worrell had been living w ith his father, an old and highly respected citizen of that borough, together with five sisters and a brother. Some lime ago tbe young man became enamored of a young lady and she. although professing to respect him, refus ed him on the ground of his poverty. Since her rejection ol him the young man has become moody sml sullen : his whole time being occupied in concreting schemes by which he might realize sudden wealth. At last be concluded a horrible plan by which the entire family would be destroy ed. The plan was cilmly and deliberately made but tailed in the execution. About a month ago, young Worrell conclif ed that the proor time hid arrived. Accord ingly, i.fWall the family bad retired, be fastened the doors of the sleeping apart ments and attcr pourintr oil arounti tbe building, set it on fire. The house burned quickly, but the entire family madj their escape unhurt. The house which bail been lately erected at a cost of $'1.00i was en tirely destroyed. Young Worrell was not suspected until Saturday, but investigation has proven the a!ove 1o be correct. AVor rell has tssaped to Ohio. Geographical Curiosities. A writer to a daily paper has discovered that the Blue Mountain ranze which runs through the south eastern corner of Pennsylvania presents the singular circn instance of be ing divided by a river every twenty seven miles. From where the Suvquebanna River parses through to the Swatara River is twenty-even miles. The distance from the Swatara to the Schuylkill is t wenty- Revea miles. It Is twenty-seven miles from the Schuylkill to the Lehigh, and the Delaware cuts the hills in twain at the Water Gap, twenty-seven miles further on A large lake lies in a Hollow in New Jersey, twenty seven miles from the Dela ware. An examination ot the map will show this to be alxnit correct. The same writer mentions the following as a second curiiitv: A person startine from Honesdale, Wayne county. Pa., to drive to BushkilL Pike county, will have a drive of sixty-two miles. It is twenty mile to Blooming Grove. Iv-achins Mil ford he will be twenly miles from Bloom ing Grove. At Dingman'a ho will le forty-nine miles from his starting place. and still twenty miles from Blooming Grove. At Delaware he is fifty-five miles from Honesdale, and Bloomini: Grove is twenty miles distance. At Bushkill, his destination, be is sixtv-two miles from his starting point and yet the finger hoard tells bim that it is "To Blooming Grove twenty mile " Fisk Figuring. Hon. Wiliinta D. Kelley. of this State, received the follow ing letter from tbe Secretary of the Treasury, in which Secretary Sherman says : "In reply to your inquiry relative to the time required to extinguish the public debt nnder existing law, I have to intorm yon that commencing with Janury, 1830, if one percent ot the current indebtedness of the United Slates be thereafter annually applied as a sinking fund, interest being improved (i. e., comioundcui semi-annually at the rate of 0 per cent, per annum, it will take thirty -X years to extinguish tbe debt. It, however, the interest I re invested semi annually at the rate ot 4 per cent per annum tbe period required for its extinguishment will be forty six and a half years. In neither case Is interest computed on amounts already in the Sink ing Fnnd." Judge Kelley commenting upon this statement says that, the debt consists of 234,000,000 6 per rents., 5CS.000 00; ot 5 per cent., and 254,000,000 of 4J per cents. The rale of interest cannot be so low as 4 per cent during tbe coming twenty-seven yer in .which the Governmcpl has the right V jcall in all these loans and jay them at par without premium. He adds that, even waving the interest on Kinds now in tbe sinking fund as this calculation proposes, the process would extinguish the entire debt in about tarty years, or ten year before the maturity ot the fifty year bond.
