To ASCERTAIN THE WEIGHT OF LIVE CaTTLE.
—The following remarks are from Chamber’s
Information for the People : “This is of the ut
most utility to all those who are not experienced
judges by eye. By the following directions, the
weight can be asertained within a mere trifle :
Take a string, put it round the breast, stand
square, just behind the shoulder blade ; measure
on a foot rule the feet and inches the animal is
in circumference ; this is called the girth ; then,
with ihe strings, measure from the hone ofilie
tail which plumbs the line with the hinder part
of the buttock ; direct the line along ihe hack to
the forepart of the shoulder blade ; take ihe dim
ensions on the foot rule as before, which is the
length ; and work the figures in the following
manner : Girth of the bullock, six feet four inch
es ; length five feet three inches—which, multi
plied together, make 31 square superficial feet;
and that multiplied by 23 (the number of pounds
allowed to each superficial foot of cattle measur
ing less than seven and more than five in girth)
make 713 pounds.—Where the animal measures
less than 9 ar.d more than 7 in girth, 31 is the
number ofpounds to each superficial foot. Again,
suppose a pig or any small beast should measure
two feet in girth, aud two along the hack,
which multiplied together, make 4 square feel ;
that multiplied by 11, the number of pounds al
lowed each square foot of cattle measuring less
than 3 feet in girth, makes 44 pounds Again,
suppose a calf, a sheep, &c., should measure 4
feet 6 inches in girth, and 3 feet 9 inches in
length, multiplied together, make 15$ square
feet; that multiplied by 16, the number of
pounds allowed to all cattle measuring less than
5 feet, and more than 3 in girth, makes 265
pounds. The dimensions of the girth and
length of horned cattle, sheep, calves, or hogs
may he as exactly taken this way as it is at all
necessary for any computation or any valuation
of stock, and will answer exactly to the four
quarters, sinking the offal, and which every man
who can get a hit of chalk can easily perform.
Great Crop. —At a late Agricultural Fair in
Ohio, Gen. Thomas W Wilson took the pre
mium for the best crop of corn, the product of
which, per acre was 184 bushels.
Mints Wanted. —There is said to be more
California gold at the Mint in Philadelphia, than
can be coined in six weeks, working night and
day. Send some of it down South, and we wilj
establish a “ mint" in our pockets.
A Single Married Woman. —By the Reve'l
lo, we find that M iss Jane Boswell, of St. Louis,
was married on the 23d August, at Bull Falls,
Wisconsin, to Mr. Benjamin Single. Thus,
t hough the young lady was married, she still en
joys “ Single hlpsspdncss.”
Apples. —In Normandy and Brittany the ap
ples used for cider are in extraordinary abund
ance. In the memory of man the trees were
never seen so abundant. The farmers have
been obliged to fix props repeatedly under the
branches to enable them to support the heavy
weight of fruit that bends them to the earth.
ICj’A machine has been invented in St. Louis,
Missouri, by a Mr. Reeder, called the “ Bed
cooler." The principal feature in the invention
is a couple of fans, which may be placed under
a bed tester, immediately over the sleeper or pa
tient, (we have seen nothing which would suit
the wants of an invalid better,) and which, afte r
the winding up of certain weights, will keep in
motion during six hours. They are made of any
weight or size, to work on a cradle or a French
bedstead.
O' The Huddersfield & Manchester Rnilroad
Tunnel, in England, is more than three miles in

I on a clear day one can see through from either
I end.
A TtiF.ATRfc H’lTltouT Gas. —Just after the
curtain went up on the evening of t ie 14th inst.
at the Broadway Theatre, the gas suddenly went
out, and the audience was left in utter darkness.
The ladies screamed a little and giggled a great
deal more; the gentlemen growled and pro
nounced the whole affair a humbug. Every
body got out safely, the most serious casualties
we heard ofbeing the exchanging ofhats, canes,
wives and umbrellas by a few gentlemen a little
less sharp, or perhaps a good deal shaper than
their neighbors.
j Cherokee Nation —The Cherokee Advocate
of October 22d, says: “The most important
measure that has been enacted by the National
Council during the past week is the adoption of
a resolution to call the whole Cherkeo people
together on Monday, the 7th day of November
nel, » to decide upon some plan or adopt some
measure !o relieve the Cherokee nation of debt.”
Flax Cotton. —lt, perhaps, may not be gen
erally known, even by those engaged in flax,
• hat by completely robbing the fibre of all its
gum, we get immediately a fine downy material
hhe raw cotton, hut somewhat stronger. The
strength of the flax is a little diminished by this
process, but still the fibre is superior to cotton,
and it may he passed through all the present
cotton machinery in the subsequent processes.

Cave §pringr.
Cave Spring is a beautiful and salubrious vil
lage, romantically situated in, or rather scatter
ed along the picturesque Valley of Van, in the
mountain region of Floyd county, Georgia, wa.
tered by the limpid stream of Cedar Creek, fed
by Marion Creek, Cedarina, and other clirystal
tributaries and sources of supply. From the
base of an adjacent mountain overlooking in
forest-crowned majesty, the quiet valley, gushes
in bold and never-failing flow, Cave Spring,
from which the village or hamlet takes its name.
At a short distance, from the Cave Spring, is
another spring, called the Boiling Spring, from
the resemblance of its bubbling noise to the
boiling of a pot, the waters of which unite with
those of Cave Spring and flovv into Cedar Creek
The views from the neighboring mountain sum
mits are enriched with all that is lovely in
mountain and valley scenery, and from several
of them, Van's I'alley, in village beauty and
agricultural plenty, is seen lying in landscape
charm, below.
The Village of Cave Spring is a charming and
delightful rural residence. It is situated 16 miles
from Rome, where the Rail Road line, at pres
ent, terminates; and is distant but two days’
journey from Charleston, South Carolina. It
possesses a public school, called the Hearn
School, liberally endowed with a foundation or
benefice of $12,000, by the late Lot Hearn.
Cave Spring is sometimes called Temperance,
or Temperance Town, because, by act of the
Legislature of Georgia, as a measure of protec
tion to the Hearn School and the Deaf and Dumb
Institute, no spirituous or intoxicating liquor
can be bought or sold, within the village, or
within two miles of its corporate limits.

Cave Spriug.
The Cherokee region may, justly, be termed
the Switerland of the South-west. The diver
sity of hill and dale, of mountain and vale, en.
titles it to this designation ; and if the moun
tains are not so lofty, or the streams so broad,
certainly more beautiful scenery is not display
ed in the midst of the Alps and the Appenines
Induced by a friend, we first directed our jour
ney towards Cave Spring—a village situateJin
Floyd County, sixteen miles south of Rome. It
is impossible to find language sufficiently glow
ing, to describe the spot. On no part of the
continent, as we confidently believe, has Nature
more lavishly bestowed her blessings. In no
spot ever visited by, or described to us, is to be
found more rich scenery, a more romantic ar
rangement of mountain and valley, a more use
ful and noble combination of bright sparkling
waters, and spreading groves.—Cave Spring lies
in a narrow valley, protected by two ridges of
mountains, running north and south, and enclos
ing a body of land unsurpassed in fertility.
From the western side of one mountain, and
the eastern sido of the other, almost opposite
to each other there gushes out several large
springs of delightfully cool and clear water,
slightly affected with lime—which, after gushing
forth as if vexed at their confinement in dark
subterranean prisons, flow gently along towards
the north, on the two sides of the village,
spreading out among the groves in two wide,
limpid streams, giving life and beauty to the
scene for half a mile or more. A noble grove
of forest trees covers several acres of level
ground on the east side of the village, and south
of the business part of it, which has been devo
ted to the purposes of a school campus. In the
midst of it rises the chapel, an edifice at once
neat and appropriate—its white walls beautiful
ly contrasting with the natural color of the
trees, and its cupola towering above them, and
handsomely diversifying the natural scenery
around. On the side of this mountain yawns
the mouth ofAlio cave which gives the village
at opco its name and spring, and continuous
avenues, darkened with awful shadows, extend
far in to the bosom of the earth, hung with broken
stalactites, tinged with the smoke of the torch
lights of frequent explorations. On reaching
the brink of an abyss, a roaring noise is head,
and the visitor, by holding down a torch, will
discover far below him a dark stream rolling on
ward in sullen majesty, amidst the black and
slimy rocks below. This is the mountain stream
just described as springing from the eastern
mountain. Forcing itself in hurried ami impclu.
ous agitation, it flows along the margin of the
grove, spreads itself, out among knotty vines
and thick underwood, and runsover beautifully
while limestone rock, the offspring of its depo
sitions, under the silent chemistry of the air and
water. Immediately north of the Spring are
being raised the walls of the Mute Asylum—an
edifice promising to prove as interesting, in
itself, as it will he a monument of the benefi
cence of Georgia—The school already begun,
is a most excellent proof of the wisdom of the
establishment.
The arrangements for Schools at Cave Spring
are admirable. A permanent fund isdevotedto
the maintenance of the Male School; and, the
placo unquestionably will command teachers of
ability. There are local advantages here which
make it one of the most superior places in the
whole South-west for the education of youth.
The exclusion by the charter, and the regula
| tions of the Trustees, of every thing like dissi
pation or immorality, makes it impossible :hat
j improper influences of any kind can operate.
