Dr. Boynton’* lecture Last Night.
Dr. Boynton delivered his second lec-i
ture upon Geology last evening, to an-:
other large audience, at Concert Hall,
the subject embracing the “Crust of the
Earth, causes of Volcanoes, and tiro ele
vation of Continents and Islands.”
Wepesent the following outline of
the lecture, which will doubtless inter
est many of our readers.
The earth was originally a melted
mass of rock—and melted by heat,caus
ed the chemical action, and condensa
tion of tile particles of wl ich it is com
posed—and being thrown into a space
surrounded by cold atmosphere, the
surface cooled, and formed a crust. This
formed the granite rock, the only rock
formed by the cooling of the original
melted mass. When the earth was in
this heated condition, the water now on
its surface was driven off, and existed
in the form of vapor.
Water cannot he made to touch a |
highly heated.body. Put a few drops of
water on a»very hot stove, and it will !
form into globules, and dance around j
on the surface, not touching the heated \
iron. As the crust of the earth became
thicker, the water gradually condensed
upon it, and for ages a boiling ocean I
covered the earth. This cooling process
went on, and as all bodies contract by
cooling, so it was with the crust of the
earth.
By the contraction produced by the
cooling, a pressure was exerted on the
melted mass in the interior—hence the
elevations, depressions and wrinkles on
the surface of the earth. A wagon tire
is heated and enlarged, so as to be
placed easily upon a wheel; water is
then poured on, and this produces a
contraction, so that it shrinks tightly
upon the felloes. The crust of the earth
being comparatively thin, and the cool
ing and contraction going on, great
changes would take place; sometimes
the bed of the ocean would be elevated,
and form the dry land, and the dry
land would sink and form the bed of
the ocean. There is indisputable evi
dence that this has taken place, and it
can only be accounted for upon the the
or ’ .hat the earth is a molten mass of
rock, with a thin crust cooled on the :
outside.
Another evidence that the interior of
the earth is in an igneous condition, is,
that if a thermometer is buried fifty i
feet below the surface, the mercury will
remain at the same point the year 1
round. Go down fifty feet more, and i
the mercury will rise one degree, and at r
one hundred feet two degrees, and rise
regularly one degree for every fifty feet.
The crust of the earth is only about '
fifty miles thick—not so thick in pro- 1
portion to the diamter of the earth, as 1
an egg-shell to the diameter of the egg. -
The earthquakes and volcanoes pre
sent still stronger evidences of the inel- 1
ted condition of the interior of the 1
earth. Volcanoes, in the early ages, i
of the earth, when the crust was thin,
were counted by thousands. Now, i
there are only a few hundreds in active i
operation. By the contraction of the
earth’s crust, pressure on the interior is
produced. The melted masses must !
have veut; hence the earthquakes and s
volcanic eruptions. _ 1
In conclusion, and in illustration of
his subject, Dr. Boynton exhibited three
large paintings of volcanoes. The first
was a night scene, representing an erup
tion in the Mediterranean Sea. The
next was the same, when tire fires had
gone out. The third was that of the 1
great Owyhee. These were exceeding- J
]y beautiful, and elicited hearty ap- ■
plause from the audience.
The next lecture will be delivered to- 1
morrow evening, and we would advise J
all who would enjoy a rare entertain- ‘
inent to attend.
Fine Vtrv Wheat.
We have in our office a sample of j
white wheat, new crop, grown by Wm. c
Babnes Esq., at his place about three *
miles from this city. It is the plump ,
est, and whitest and prettiest wheat we e
have ever seen.
Water. I
It is decided that we are to be de- ‘
prived of an adequate supply of water,
from every source ? Efforts have been a
made to get it by artesian wells ; sur
veys have been made of various other *
projects, but wc are no nearer having I Jj
an adequate supply than we were ten ,
years ago.
Just before every charter election i
every body is crying ‘• Water! Water! ”
as though nothing were needed but an c
election to flood the city. If anybody *
will help us, we propose to exercise our- i
self during the summer with some in
vestigations in reference to a subject of
such vital importance to the interest,
health and comfort of all. And to open 6
the ball, we respectfully ask the co-ope- , c
ration of ail who use the article, in de- t
vising and carrying out some means of v
accomplishing this desideratum to our p
beautiful city. g

Os lager beer [Slmkg.
“ Lager, more lager !” hoarsely
shouted the Count D Nincompoop to
1 his attendants as he sat at the banquet
table, in the Hall of Nincompoop Cas
tle.
| The butler hastened to obey the or
der, and soon returned with the intclli
, gence that the lager was all gone.
“No lager ?” shouted the Count in a
voice of thunder.
“ Nary glass !” replied the trembling
, menial.
“ Fool, why dids’t thou not provide
more of that Teutonic beverage! But
go, depart, evaporate! ere in my rage
: I stiike out from thy shoulder like an
“ artist,” and give you “jessie!”
The butler and other attendants left,
and the Count was alone.
With rapid strides he paced the Hall,
anon he speaks, while his manly face
was distorte 1 with fearful passion.
“Isabella D Fitzsimpkins, thou shalt
be mine; aye, haughty beauty, never
shall lloderiego call you wife. My
plans are laid, and unlike the New fir
leans Merchants, I know no such thing
as “fail.” Roderiego, the Blood-Tub is
on thy track; beware; beware!”
Wiih the smile of a demon he drew
from its sheath a glittering dagger and
sharpened it on his hoot.

Casfio. —Dost thou know him logo ?”
lago. —‘ Ido;he is load of
br eks—he is.” [Othello.
Podericgo D’Polliwog was an orphan.
This melancholy circumstance, it is gen
erally believed, was caused by the death
of his parents. He loved with all the
I fiery ardor of his impetuous nature, the
! beautiful Lady Isabella D’Fitzsimpkins.
iTo him she owed her life ; for when
one day she walked forth in all the
; pride of maiden loveliness, to purchase
| a pint of peanuts, a pair of frightened
j horses <lashed madly down the street.—
I All. except Isabella, fled but she seemed
its if rooted to the spot. Nearer they
i approach—a piercing shriek rends the
air—they are almost upon her, when a
youth from a lager beer saloon, seizes
the steeds by the reins and with super
human strength throws them into the
middle of next week! Having accom
plished this herculean feat, he bears
I Isabella into a drinking saloon, where
she soon recovered, and is escorted
home by the gallant Roderiego. ‘Twas
thus they met.
That night Lady Isabella slept not.
Thoughts of Roderiego tilled her mind,
and she conjured up, bright as the lus
trious sign of the Alhambra, visions of
the future And Roderiego, too, wooed
the God of Sleep in vain.
CHAPTER 111.
“Hr nose is like tin snowy drift,
And bung’d up her eye.”—Byron.
“ That’s so.”—Awful Gardner.
In a magnificently furnished apart
ment sat Lady Isabella, and Roderiego 1
knelt at her feet.
“Rise Roderiego !” she said in dulcet 1
tones.
“ I’ll be as miserable as an over night
reveller sentenced by Mayor Withers ;
to SSO or thirty days, until you decide
my fate. In your hands rests my hap- '•
piness; will thou be mine! Speak Lady
Isabella, speak!”
She answered not, but turned itside
her lovely head and wiped her
“Are these pearly drops from that 1
bright nose—excuse ine, those bright 1
eyes—of mingled joy and apprehen- 1
sion.”
She dried her tears and spoke—
“ Roderiego, to you I owe the preser
vation of my life. I love thee—aye, as
the nightingale loves the rose, or a
hound puppy loves hen-fruit,—but, hut 1
—I can never wed with thee !” I
“ What fearful mystery is here, com- i
pared with which the assault on Wil- !
liam Patterson sinks into insignific- <
ance?” ejaculated Roderiego.
“Listen!” she exclaimed. There is v
an insurmountable barrier to our union, i
and that is ”
“What?” interrupted Roderiego.
“I am the wife of Count d’Nincom- |
poop, the Blood tub of Tilliotudulum !” .
she gasped and fell fainting to the t
floor. r
CHAPTER IV. c
“ If th •* red slayer thinks he slays, t
Or it the slain thinks he is slain, (
It makes slight difference either ways, :
1 let ’m up and go iu again .“--Emerson. j
The Count d’Nincompoop left his Cas
tle, his tall person closely enveloped in
a cloak which discloses his noble form
to advantage, and pursued his way to
the mansion of Lady Isabella. With '
cautious steps he ascended the staircase j
until he reaches the room where we have
introduced her in the last chapter, and
opening the door beholds Roderiego
endeavoring to restore Lady Isabella to
consciousness.
“Ha! ha! Roderiego, I have thee at *
last!” and ere the brave Roderiego (
could speak he plunged his dagger into
his bosom.
Roderiego d’Polliwog fell mortally l
wounded, the blood running in a crim
son stream upon the carpet.
D’Nincompoop gazed a moment at J
the bed and then endeavored to arouse
the Lady Isabella. She opened her
eyes and shudder eel when she beheld '
the Count.
“ Where is Roderiego V* she asked in -
agitation. r
“ Perfidious female woman, behold !”
he exclaimed, as he pointed to the f
corpse. “My vengeance is complete, t
The blood tub has wiped out his wrongs a
with blood !” *
Isabella gazed with an idiotic look
upon the form of him whom she loved, c
“Let me have a relic of the glorious 11
deed.” he said, and stooping took from {
the pocket of Roderiego a broken tooth- n
pick. It was slightly stained with t]
blood from the wound.
P
CHAPTER V.
Q
“ Dry up and suspend.—Anonymous. y
The news of the murder of Roderiego c:
spread with rapidity throughout the *
city. The vigilant Vidocques of Capt. J 1
Charpentier were on the alert, and by 0 ‘
the orders of Coroner Buford the Count it
was arrested, and the mutilated tooth
pick was not arterial, but he was found -i
guilty and sentenced to be hung.
But hark! what cry is that breaking
upon the startled ear—“‘Ere’s the Even
ing Nacs\— got the recovery of Rod
eriego !”
The news was true. Roderiego was
not mortally wounded, and with the
aid of the “retired physician, whose
sands of life have nearly run out,” re
covered his usual health.
But little remains for us to relate.—
The Count D’Nincompoop was released
by the intercession of Roderiego; but
remorse and bitterness had shutout all
sunshine forever from his life. In his
wretchedness he sought to hide himself
from the world in some place where no
sensation of pleasure nor comfort would
ever redeem the despair and misery
which he wooed and cherished as the
very “ luxury of wo.” So he left the
United States and went over to Ham
burg. In a fit of diabolical passion at
hearing of the marriage of Roderigo
D’Pollywog to the Lady Isabella D’Fitz
simpkins, he dashed his brains out with
a bar of soap.
Roderigo and Isabella, who, after the
murder, had procured a divorce from
the Count, lived happily together, anil
many little Pollywogs squirmed around
their feet.

St. Lour*, May 17.—The Kickapoo
correspondent of the Republican says,
that tho bandits in the neighborhood
of Fort Scott number two hundred and
fifty, and arc commanded by the noto
rious Captain Montgomery. They are
thoroughly armed and mounted on fleet
horses, and defy the United States troops
swearing that they will not be taken.—
Upwards of one hundred and fifty fam
ilies have been robbed aud driven by
them into Missouri.
Three hundred troops, comprising
the first detachment of the Seventh In
fantry, left Jefferson Barracks yesterday
for Leavenworth.
General Harney arrived at Leaven
worth on the 12th inst., and Secretary
Hadtnell left for Utah on the 13th.
The Housatonic Republican says that
while the larger manufacturing estab
lishments in that vicinity have not yet
recovered from the depression of last
fall, there is a good deal of business en
ergy manifested by the middling class.
The usual amount of building is going j
on, and tlie iron business is gradually
improving.
The operatives in the mills at River
Point, &c., in Pawtuxet valley, are on I
a strike ; and those in the woollen mill!
at Waterford, K. 1., who began to work
a few weeks ago at a reduction of 20 per
cent., have struck again, beiug unable
to live at the reduced rates. AtAllou
dale, K. I. there was a strike on Friday
in sympathy witli the Olneville opera
tives.
From Texas,
The New Orleans I‘icayune, to which
we are chiefly indebted for our Texas
and Louisiana intelligence, contains the
following items of Texas news.
The Galveston News, of the 13th, says:
Our accounts represent tlie Brazos as
overflowing its banks in some places
above, and still rising fast. The rise
has reached tlie mouth of the river, and ;
was near the top of tlie banks as low
down as Brazoria county. (
The Liberty Guzettee says the Trinty is :
now as high at that point as it has been 1
this year. Aeounts from above repre
sent the river rising, and the recent
rains will have the effect of swelling it
to an unusual height. Heavy rains had
fallen about Liberty. j,

’ S6lved !—DR. MORnE’3 INVIGORATING COR- j
] I‘lAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
lias lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single'
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude j
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to |
1 ihc sufferer, while his digestive organization was :
‘ paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the j
wholesome revolution created in the system, the I
, basts of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while torrueutod by the 1
; acute, physical agony of Neuralgia Tir-doloreux'
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter-,
. rors. wakened by periodical fits, threatened with |
- paralysis, florne down and dispirited bythht!
I terrible lassi ie which proceeds from a'/?kifj
1 nervous energy, or experiencing any otb. i jSain!
l or disability arising from the unnatural c ition \
| of the wonderful machinery which connect-: ev-j
cry member with the source of sensation- -io
. tion and thought—derives immedhto j
from the use - f this Cordial, which at ouce calms,
invigorates aud regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
L declaring:. tir to be the greatest boon that
■ woman has -ver receive*! r rom tlie hands o(
medical men.
I Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
, mediate and astonishing effect upon '.lie appetite.,
While it renews the strengm of the' digestive,
powers it creates a desire for the solid material j
t which is to he subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pluirmacopia. i
;• If long life and tb» vigor neces?* -y to its en- i
, joyment are desirable, this luviir.ine is indeeifol !
• precious worth
*ts beneficial etTects are not c< nfined to eitw
sex or to ».nv age. The feeble the ailing
l ' wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
II man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general do
5 biiity or from the weakness of a single organ !
will all find immediatennd permanent relief from j
ihe use of this incomparable renovator. To
.. those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
: will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard |
y against that terrible m ilady. There are many
- perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- ;
'■ tion that they think themselves beyond tlio reach;
of medicine. Let not even those despair. Thoj
' Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
ference to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- j
t stitution

fir Oxygenated Hitters,
, A SURE CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA —The history
of this remarkable medicine, and its astonishing
success in obstinate cases of Dyspepsia, Asthma,
and General Debility of the System, places it
among the most wonderful discoveries iu medi
cal science, and has given it a reputation far be
yond any remedy known for these complaints,
iu .ill their various forms.
The OxygenaUd Bitters contain nothing which
can intoxicate ; aud the medicine has no simi
larity whatever to the various alcoholic mix- J
tures disguised as “Bitters,’’ being purely a j
medicinal compound, in which are combined the l
most valuable remedial agents, and a peculiar |
oxygenated property, hitherto unknown, but
highly efficacious in all complaints arising from j
weakness and derangement, or prostration of
the stomach and system generally. It is a mild |
and agreeable tonic, removing all disagreeable j '
symptoms, and assisting natur? in her efforts to i ,
restore ihe impaired powers of the system.

""gT Coloring Fluids for tlie .
Hair are Dangerous.—Prof. Wood’s Hair
Tonic restores the color, not by the nitrate of
silver process, but by a restoration of the
healthy functions upon which the original and
natural color of the hair and its moisture, its j
loss, its life, and consequontly its original |
beauty depended. Prof. Wood, at the age|of
thirty-seven years, was as grey as a rn&trof
eighty, and his hair was dry, thin and dead.
Now he has not a single grey lock upon his ■
crown, nor is his hair thin or dry, but soft, pli-;
able and moist as that of a child of five years.
This preparation acts upon the roots, for after
an application that portion of the hair nearest
the scalp is found restored to the original color,
whatever it was, while the ends ot the hair are
gray. Try Wocd’B Hair Tonic , and do not ap- j
ply any other till after you have this. With ;
this resolution will never have occasion to use a
hair dye.
Caution.—Beware of worthless imitations as
several ar*. already in the market called by dif
ferent names. Use none unless the words Prof.
Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot St. Louis, Mo.,
and New York, are blown iu the bottle.
