Mob Quelled hy Prayer,
A correspondent of iho Pittsburg Gazelle re
lates tho following circumstances, as received
from : the late i sheriff of that county, Mr. For
syth: Some time in the course of the past year, he,
Mr. Forsyth, was called upon to exercise his
authority for the suppression of a large disor
derly meeting, somewhere in the suburbs of the
city. At tho time of his arrival on tho ground
there was a manifestation of an immediate vio
lent outbreak, and while he was deliberating
about his duty in tho premises, he was ap
proached by the Rev. Mr. Kirkland, who acted
80 conspicuous a part in iho late trials in our
court, with a request thathe would let him try
the efficacy of prayer on the excited passions
of tho throng.
The sheriff replied that he doubted much tho
success of such an expedient, but that he was
. willing jo make the experiment. Mr. Kirkland
immediately assumed a station a little elevated
above tho multitude, and poured fouth, appa
rently fronvthe fullness of a Christian spirit, a
prayer most appropriate to the occasion. Im
mediately after he commenced, those around
him became calm, some of them very reverent
ly taking off their hats, and when at the con
clusion, he raised hia hands and in a most sol
emn manner pronounced the benodiction with
which congregations are unsually dismissed, the
mob dispersed as quietly as a concrenation re
tiring from Church, leaving tho sheriff no farther
necessity for the exercise of his authority.
Inflammable GasCuriosity.
Ihere are numerous issues of inflammable
gas on the farm of Mr. Michael Foulkner, in
this county. About an acre of the bottom lands
on the Chippewa give forth the gas, tho soil
feeing exceedingly porous, and filled with cracks,
from which the gas escapes. Place a common
'ti horn over one of these cracks, apply a match
to the top and a brilliant flame of yellowish ap
pearance breaks forth, whith will burn steadily
tor weeks. Ihe proprietor made an excavation
some twelve feet deep at one of the gas open-
-
:ngs, ana nung in burning nay. yutte an ex
plosion followed, the hay was scattered in the
air, and a blaze issued several feet high. It
continued to burn until the ground caved in and
smothered the flames.
Tho ground from which the gas escapes
never freezes, and nothing will grow upon it,
altnougti the sou is rich. I he location is 14
miles from Cleveland, and has attracted many
visiters to see the earth burn. The existence
of the gas has been known there for a dozen
years or more, and the quantity escaping, which
is large, seems to be increased rather than oth
erwise. Cannot Nature's gasometer be appro
priated by man to some useful purpose ? Clevc

How to ITCeasnre an Acre.
Land, 30 1-4 square ards make 1 square
rod, 40 square rods make one square rood, 4
square roods make 1 acre. 640 acres make 1
square mile. 4840 square yards 160 rods make
one acre.
In measuring an acre by yards, the usual
practice is, to trace off 70 yards in length and
70 in witdth, this in rough'way may be consid
ered near enough for all practical purposes ;
but a 70 yards either way make 4900 square
yards, it exceeds an acre by 60 square yards.
To determine an accurate acre, it should be
measured 70 yards in length by 69 1-7 yards
in breadth. The same result ma' be arrived
at by measuring 220 feet in length and 198 in
width, measuring 73 1-3 yards in length by 66
yards in breadth. A. Farmer.

Singular Easiness at t. ILouts, ITlo.--Turning
Dogs into Gold.
For some weeks past, Lieut. Michau, of the
Police Guard of St. Louis, has had his atten
tion fixed upon a small frame house in Devil's
Half Acre. During this time he has observed
that every night a light would appear in the up
per story, and continue toburn until morning1.
Thinking, probably, that something wrong was
going on, he inquired of the neighbors, who in-
lormed aim that two men lived Mere in a very
mysterious manner. One of them was often
seen to leave the house with a small box under
his arm the other never quilted the premises.
and would suffer no one to enter. In hopes of
pouncing upon a gang of counterfeiters, the of
ficers yesterday, with several others, repaired
to the house and searched ihe premises, but
instead of finding the nest of a gang of coun
terfeiters, they had scared up the den ofadog
sraeiter, for such his occupation betokened him.
In the room where the light was observed that
first attracted the officer attention, were sev
eral large boxes filled with the cooked and pu
trid carcasses of dogs, and the owner of the
premises was engaged in boiling another over
a slow fire. The stench that arose was so of
fensive that several who entered were forced to
retire instantly. In the room were also glass
jars filled with a liquid very offensive in smell,
and the carcass of a dog, destitute of hair, par
tially immured in liquor. The proprietor of this
strange manufactory informed tho officer that
he made gold of his dogs, and in proof of his
statement, showed the mould in which he run
it. Everything about the establishment bore a
mysterious appearance, which induced tho offi
cer to take the German proprietor into custody.
As soon as the nature of his business was
known, a large crowd of neighbors collected,
and it was with great difficulty that the officers
could prevent them from burning down the
house. This morning the German was brought
before Recorder Hyde, but there being no evi
dence of any criminal intention on his part, he
was discharged, and, ere this, is, no doubt, en
gaged at his business that of dog smelting.
There is something very mysterious about this
matter, which wo would Jiko very much to see
explained.

Tlic Turn oi Life..
From 40, to 60, a man who has'prdperly re
gulated himself, may bo considered as in his
prime of life. His matured strength of con
stitution renders him almost impervious to the
attacks of disease, and experience has given
his judgment the soundness of almost infalli
bility. His mind is resolute, firm and equal ;
all his functions are in the highest order ; he
assumes the mastery over business ; builds up
a competence on tho foundation he has laid in
early manhood, and passes through a period of
life attended by many gratifications. Having
gone a year or two past 60, he arrives at a
cnticle period in the road of existence ; the
river of death flows before him, and he remains
at a stand-still. But athward this river is a vi
aduct called " Tho Turn of Life," which, if
crossed safely, lead to the valley of " Old Age,"
around which this river winds, and then flows
beyond without boat or causeway lo effect its
passage. The bridge is, however, constructed
on fragile materials, and it depends upoahow
it is trodden whether it bend or break. Gout.
apoplexy, and other bad characters also are in
the vicinity to way-lay the traveler, and thrust
him from the pass $ but let him gird up his
loins and provide himsolf with a fitting staff and
he may trudge on in safely with perfect com
posure. To quit metaphor, the " Turn of Life"
is a turn cither into a prolonged life or into the
grave. Tho system and powers having reached
their utmost expansion, now beginning either
to close like flowers at sunset or break down
at once. One injudicious stimulent a single
fatal excitement, may forco it beyond tts
strength, while a careful supply of props,and
the withdrawal of all that tends' to force a plant,
will sustain it in beauty and in vigor until night
has entirely set.

".THE BOOK Ol? THE NATION;"
THE-OLDEST MAGAZINE IN AMERICA.
Published ly. the present Proprietor fur 20 years-.
Edited By Mrs. Sarah 3T. Hale,
The publisher of the Lady's Book, knowing hov;
completely he put down all opposition in 1849, and
being assured that the public is also acquainted
with, this fact, deems it only necessary to say that
in 1850 he will improve on 1849; and he will, as
usual, give more reading and more engravings than
bis cotemporaries. Perhaps a little comparison of
what he did last year, and what his adversaries did j
may be amusing, if uotjnstructive to those about
to subscribe for a monthly magazine. One tiling
the public may be assured of. that the publisher of
Godey's Lady's Book will Ml falsify his prospec
tus, as he deems it as great a sin to tell a falsehood
in print as to give it utterance to a verbal otie. Lis
ten to the universal voice of the American Press-
Comjmrison Iclwccn Godey and the other PhUadeU
phia Monthlies.
In 1819, the Lady's Book gave 91G pages which
is 11G more than one, and 148 more than the other
Philadelphia monthly. He gave 281 engravings
among which were 20 colored, and 93 full page
which is 136 more than one, and 180 more than
the other.
We gave, in each number, a piece of music,
printed separately on tinted paper, making 24 pa
ges, or 12 pieces in a year. To show the cheap
ness of the Lady's Book, this same music, if bought
separately at the music stores, would cost exactly
the price of the whole year's subscription $3
It will be seen, at a glance, which is the cheap
est magazine for S3, when you get 116 page3 df
reading more than one magazine.and 148 more than
an other; 136 engravings more than one, and 180
more than the other; to say nothing of the superiori
ty of our engravings, among which are 20 colored,
and their usefulness to ladies. The Colored Fashion
Plates alone cost as much as nearly all the engrav
ings of either of the other magazines. These en
deavors to please our subscribers have cost us an
immense sum of money; but if honesty of purpose
and a positive dislike to falsehoods in prospectuses
will entitle a publisher to a large subscription list
the Lady's Book is entitled to it.
Some of our Peculiar Embellishments. LadiW

Wedding dresses, in-door and Out-door Costumes,

j Cottages and Furniture; Fashionable do.; Lace
Work; Vignette Plates at the head of articles, etc
All the above are illustrated by engravings.
And, in 18p0, will also be given a set of engra
vings, illustrative of The Costumes of all Nations
with descriptions by Mrs. Hale. Most of the old
features of the Book that were so popular last year
will be retained, and new ones added as they may
suggest themselves to the publisher.
