NArnas Arm Aar.—Upon examining the edge
of a very 'keen razor with a microscope it will
appear as broad as the back on a thick knife ;
rough, uneven, full of notches and furrows.
An exceedingly small needle resembles a rough
iron bar. But the sting of a bee, soon through
.the.same inatrument, exhibits everywhere a
polish most amazingly - beautiful, without the
least flaw, blemish, or inequality, and it ends
`with a point too fine to be discerned. A small
piece of exceedingly fine lawn appears through
• .
•po, like a hurdle or lattice, and the
rea • s themselves seem coarser than yarn
with which ropes are made for• anchors. But
a silkworm's web appears perfectly smooth
and shining, and everywhere equal. The small
est dot that can be made with a pen appears,
when viewed by the microscope, an irregular
spot, ragged, jagged and uneven. But the lit
tle specks on the wings or bodies of insects arc
found to be most accurately circular. So great
is the contrast betwcca the works of God and
man.
GUANO FOIL PLASS LANDS.-WO have re
cently conversed With two gentlemen—both
.practical men and of critical observationw4o
informed us that they have now fields in grass
and yielding good crops, laid down some five,
six and seven years ago, manuring them solely
With guano, and receiving little or no manuring
since. If such were to be the general result,
we might bring up our farms to a wonderful
degree of fertility, because a third or half of
Ile tillage land laid to grass with guano, and
producing a fair crop for several years in suc
cession, would enable us to appropriate all the
manure of the farm to the hoed croit! This
would allow of very high manuring, Aitztt
the land in such a condition as to produce
'heavy grass crops without the further applica
tion of guano. But we need further experi
ments, and test tic guano upon its own merits.
By putting the land into grass without a par
ticle of any other manure.—N. E. Farmer.
THE COLD Tsai.—The present winter has
exceeded in severity, both in duration of the
cold term and the extent of territory affected.
any previous winter for many years. The
whole northern hemisphere appears to be af
fected. From Italy and other portions of South
ern Europe, the complaint of unusual cold is
beard ; and iu the Southern, United States, we
have the same cry. At the last accounts very
severe cold weather was being experienced in
Texas. The GaNeston Nr tea of the 12th tilt.,
says that a very severe cold Norther had con
tinued there uninterruptedly for twenty days.
Telegraphic advices to the Nth .state that (he
weather throughout Texas continued very cold.
At Clarksville, Red River county, snow had re
mained on the ground for several weeks. The
13razos river-was so frozen that teams crossed
on the ice. An old Texan says it was the
worst weather for cattle ever known in the
State. Ice four inches thick was being put up
at Auatin.
Transposition of Figures—The Figure Nine.
—The numerical nine has a certain peculiar
property, a knowledge of which will be of im
portance to accountants and cash-keepers. It
is this : When an error hns arisen from any
transposition of figures, the difference between
such transposed number of figures is uniformly
a multiple of the numeral nino. For instance
suppose an error occurs in bringing out a trial
balance or cash settlement of the amount in
question, or that the sum short or:over can be
divided by nine without any remainder, there is
a strong probability that.ihe mistake has been
made by transposing figures ; at any rate, if
such mistake takes place by reason of transpo
sition, the sum in question will divide by nine
without a remainder. To illustrate this fur
ther : If 97 has been put down 79. the error will
be 18, or twl'e 9 exactly : if 322 be set down
223, the error will be 99, or eleven times 9, and
AO on between any transposed numbers. This
class of errors is very conimon.—Doston Cou
rier.

Tits MsTumnsT Buoy CoNcsaN.— The North
western Tlirixtian Advocate says of the Metho
dist Book Concern, that "it commenced in
1789, in Philadelphia, under the supervision of
Rev. Jour: Ihess;:s. the first book steward,
agtutt, and editor, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, with a borrowed capital of zit;oo : and
though losing in 1832, by tire, nearly 5300,000,
this institution now possesses a capital of over
three quarters of a million ; and a gramd tutal
of its sales for the past fiscal year - , retched the
uutn of 5631,169. It has now been in existence
sixty-sis years. The tract and periodical de
partments are but branches of the great trunk
concern.
['The rapid changes of weather in our va
riable climate is peculiarly trying to the consti
tution of the weak and delicate. Rheumatism, 1
Pain and Aching of the Bones, Neuralgia, liack
ing•Cough, &c., not only affects them, but sei
zes hold on many who arc now most vigorous
and healthy.
To all such, we cannot in too strong terms,
recommend the use of\Carter's Spanish Mixture. !
It cures disease by Pnrifying the blood, and'
expelling from the system all the impurities I
which tend to generate or retain disease ; it is
perfectly harmless, and has gained for itself a
reputation as an alterative and strengthening
tonic, which is not approached by any medi•
eine now before the public. As a remedy for
Scrofula, and the very worst forms of depraved
blood; no medical discovery yet made equals it.
, The proprietors of this valuable remedy are in
daily receipt of letters from all• parts of the
country detailing • cures by Carter's Spanish
Mixture, after all the efforts of Physicians and
the remedies of the profession had sig
nally.falled. We take great pleasure in calling
the• attention of the afflicted to its, merits as a
medicinal agent of singular and extraordinary
efficacy.

IMPROVED FIRE AND WATER PROOF
COMPOSITION ROOFING.
Joseph Clewoll, Allentown, Agent for Lehigh Co.
YOUR attention is respectfully solicited to the
above method of Rooting, now much used iu
l'hiladelphia and vicinity, and which hatchet:it exten
sively in use in many of the cities of the Went, during
inure than eleven years past, during which time it
has been tested under every variety of circumstances,
and we confidently offer it to the public as a mode of
Booting unobjectionable iu every importantpartieular,
while it combines, iu it greater degree than any other
roof in use, the valuable requisites of cheapness, du
rability, and security against both tiro nod water.—
This is rapidly superseding the
.use or all other kinds
of roofs, wherever it has been introduced, giving gen
eral satisfaction, and is highly recommended by all
who have tested its utility. These roofs require an
inclination of not more than one inch to the foot,
which is of gnat tnicantaus in race ji re, and for
drying purposes. They are offered at a price consid
erably less than any other roof iu use, while the
mount of material saved, which would otherwise be
used in extending up the walls and framing for a
steep root; often makes a still farther important re
duction in the cost of building. liutters may be
formed of the.same material as the roof, ut much less
expense than any other. In case of defect or injury,
from any cause, there is no roof so easily repaired.
'kite materials being mostly non-conductors of heat,
eu rout' is SO cool iu summer, or so warm in winter.
Those wishing to use our root; should give the rafters
a pitch of about one inch to the foot. Fur further in
formation apply to Joseph Clewell, at Allentown, our
ugZ,ait foe Lehigh and Carbon Counties, who is pre
; pared to execute all orders at short notice.
