Dr. Boynton.
The fourth lecture of this distinguish
ed Geologist came off last night accord
ing to announcement. We have room
only to present a very brief and imper
fect synopsis of the entertainment.
The subject for the evening was the
Introduction of the Ancient Orders ol
Life upon our planet. The original
condition of the globe was not favora
ble to the existence of animal life. All
the elements by which life is sustained
were here, but a series of chemical and
mechanical changes were necessary be
fore life could be introduced.
Referring to the Mosaic history of oui
world, it was observed that the great
command, “ Let there be light,” wa?
not a creative command. The work ot
creation was already complete ; this was
the introduction of light upon the hith
erto dark surface of the earth. Then
came the separation of light from dark
ness, which was effected then as now
by the rotation of the earth. In accor.
dance with this representation of tht
manner in which life was produced—
everything which we find for a depth of
CO,OOO feet is hut the remains of animals
which lived in water. But these are
are different in different strata; the sys
tem of life, the remains of which we
find in the lower Silurian rocks are not
the same as in the rocks above. To
these rocks, distingushed by the differ
ent remains found in them, names have
been given from more celebrated locali
ties.
The Potsdam Sandstone of New York
is the lowest fossiliferous stratum in ex
istence, and contains the lowest types of
life. This is followed by the Calcife
rous sandstone, clayslate, bird’s eye mar.
ble, Sec , to the Medina sandstone which
extends along the shore of Lake Ontario.
Above this is the Clinton group, the
different layers of which, from a few
inches to many feet in thickness can be
traced along both sides of Niagara Riv
er. The rotten shales and the Onondaga
limestone, which succeed, bring us half
way through the upper Silurian rocks.
In every one of these strata new orders
of life aro discovered, but all till we
reach the coal beds are such as lived
only in the seas. All these layers are
most beautifully exhibited in New York
but wo r.ccognize them again in Ken
tucky at the Ohio Falls; they also cross
under the bed of Niagara River, and re
appear it: the lead country west of the
Mississippi.
Dr. Boynton sketched the orders of the
anima'. creation, beginning with two
handed men, the highest, passing to the
four-handed monkeys and descending
through tiic carnivorous, herbivorous I
and insectivorous tribes, the birds, the
reptiles—beginning with lizards and al
ligators and ending with the batrachia,
or frogs, the fishes, the artieulata—
shrimps, etc, the molluscs, with or
without shells, and the radiata to the
hydra, the lowest order of being.
The greatest abundance of animal
life in the lowest creations was pointed
out, so abundant that some rocks, the
Lockport marble for instance, are mere
ly a mass of petrified animals of the
radiate class. When we reach the re
gion of the erustaceous species we find
their proportion small compared with
♦he radiata, and so on. The habit of
the Crustacea, of shedding their shells
each successive season until they attain
their full growth, was noticed, and in
this an explanation is found of the fact
that for a hundred miles a formation
containing remains of these species may
be traced without finding a perfect
shell.
No vertrebrated animals are found in
the lower Silurian formation, hut in the
Old Red Sandstone we encounter the re
mains of fishes. There are four types
pf fishes : the etenoids, represented by
the perch, the cycloids by the salmon,
the ganoi'ls by the gar, and the placoids
by the sturgeon. The lowest classes
have done and ale still doing most to
wards the formation of rocks. In the
tropical sca6 the coral is still at work
constructing islands and future conti
nents. Yet corals are everywhere to he
found, indicating the former existence
■of a tropical climate all over the globe.
Thus coral rocks arc met with in India,
but all of old species ; tiie present spe- .
ties are confined to a limit of twenty
degrees on each side of tire equator,
where, on the coast of New Caledonia, 1
they have constructed a wall one thou- i
sand two hundred miles in extent.— '
Their labors are confined to the level of
♦be ;ea, but the slighest warping of the i
surface raises some portion out of wa- ]
tor, decay takes place and fertility en 1
sues. We have uo time to follow the j
lecturer in his interesting description of
the process by which coral reefs are
raised above the surface and become 1
first the seat of vegetation, and finally *
the abode of man. This was illustra-
ted by a beautiful picture representing
the surf-beaten coral islets with then
feathery crown of palms,
We aro also compelled to pass over |
the concluding portion of the Doctor's ]
lecture in which lie traced tho process <
by which the Fails of Niagara have re
ceded—in n period of perhaps twenty
eight thousand, perhaps forty-eight ■
thousand years—from their original to
their present position, and discussed the
probable history of the falls, for thou
sands of years to,come. This, too, was
illustrated by a faithful andstic
view of the fails as seen from Table
Rook. 1

Tribute of Respect.
At a called Meeting of Augusta Fire
Company No. 5, bold at their Engine
house, May, 26th, 1858, Capt. I). Gal-'
vis in the chair, the following pieamble
ind resolutions were unanimously adopt
id:
Whereas, It hath pleased Almighty
Jod in his wise Providence to take from
■ unong us our beloved brother Fireman
lons Rki.nky. who has been among us
iince the organization of the Company,

aim,
Resolved, That as a mark of respect for
the deceased, we will wear the usual

and that a copy of these resolutions be
. furnished to the wife of the deceased.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting he published in the city papers.

Max Over the Niagara Falls.—A
f man went over the Falls of Niagara yes
. terday. Hu came from the Canada side
at Chippewa in a sail boat nearly to the
American shore, and was in the act of
1 returning when he went into the rap
ids. It was thought by those who saw
. him from the shore, that he wasimpru
, dent in the management of the boat,
ind depended upon his sail long after
lie should have takcu it down, and re
■ anted to iris oars to save himself. It
i is said (hat the boat was actually iu the
f rapids before the sail was lowered, andj
then it was too late. Who the man!
was is not known on tho American side.

♦Tiklted States Flag.
Previous to the adoption of the pre
sent Hag by Congress, the number of
; stripes in the old tlag bad been increased
to eighteen, according to the number
of States admitted into the Union.—
Captain Reid recommended that the
stripes he reduced to the original num
ber of thirteen States, and to form the
number of stars representing the whole
number of States into one great star inj
tho Union, adding one star for every
I new State, thus giving the significant
meaning to the flag, sombolically ex
pressed, of “E. Plurihns Unum.”—
This design of Captain Reid's was
adopted iu committee, hut the bill did
not pass until the next Congress in

A Traveler writing from R t. Philip
de lie.iguela, West Const of Africa, says :
“About ten months ago a row occur
red at Little Fish Bay, between some
sailors of an American whaleship and
some Protuguese, on shore, in which a
Portuguese was stabbed with a knife,
not 6o severely, however, but that the
man, after a confinment of one day,
was well enough to be out, and actually
shipped on hoard of the same whaler,
and went to sea in a few days. Upon
this row, three of the American sailors
were rudely arrested by the soldiers,
beaten over their heads and backs with
sticks, and thrust into prison, and there
kept for several weeks without even a
hearing in the case. The captain ap
plied to the Governor for their reiease,
or at least trial, but he would only grant
it by the extortion of a sum of moneys
which the captain could not meet,
though offering to sell all in his power
to obtain the release of his men, the
| captain was obliged to leave them in
prison.
; After many weeks they were put on
; board a Portuguese brig-of- war or trans
port, and told they would be taken to
Loando, and delivered over to the Am
erican Consul there. They were kept
on board for several weeks and at last
were transferred to the prison of the
fort in this place, where there is no
representative of our Goverment, and
with no reason or plea given the victims
of Despotic Mobrocacy in “the reign of
terror.” AVith no one to consult, no
friend to advise, nor a soul to care for
them, they lingered on in the prison
house of Christian Portugal—in this dead
ly clime, for weeks burning with the
fever in the hospital, then back again
to starvation and suffering in the prison
walls, until after many months one
died- on his cruel treatment and wrongs,
and another, but for his forced release,
would in a few weeks have followed
him.

The poor creature, Crockett, who is
to be hung shortly for his participation
in the murderof old Mr. Landrum near
Atlanta, for the sum of fifty-five cents,
was brought to this unfortunate end by
habits of idleness and dissipation.-
Judge Bull, in passing soutence upon
him, conjured the young men present
to take warning. They cannot be too
\ often warned. Idleness is crime! In the
I parable of the ten talents this doctrine
is clearly developed. It does not ap
pear that the servant who buried his
talent was in the habit of committing
crimes, and yet be is called “wicked.”

We saw a good anecdote the other day
about long preaching. A lady took her
son,of some five or six years, to church.
After the minister had been preaching
about half an hour, the little fellow
grew sleepy and began to nod. The
mother roused him into attention sever
al times by pinching. But as it seemed \
a hopeless case, she concluded to let
him sleep undisturbed. After the little
fellow had his nap out, he awoke, and <
saw the minister still holding forth.—
He looked up in his mother's face, and
innocently asked—“ Mother, is it this ‘
Sunday night, or is it next Sunday
night ! ” t

The Great P r ohlnn
• Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING CCR-
I DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
i has lost the power of duly converting food into a
i life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
- course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
; re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
| o*© sufferer, while his digestive organization was
5 Paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
, basis of activity, strength and health.
> The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
t acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
. or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
, r0r8 ? wakened by periodical tits, threatened with |
t paralysis, (-borne down and dispirited by that
fc ten iblelassitude which proceeds from a lack ol
i nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
\ or disability arising from the unnatural condition
j the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member wa! 1 the source of sensation, mo
l tion a,,( t thought—derives immediate benefit
. from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms.
-> invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
k declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
» woman ha 3 ever received from the hands ot
" medical men.
j Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
P While it renews the strength of the digestive
j powers it creates a desire for tho solid material
|. which is to bo subjected to their action. As at:
j appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
i joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed ol
i precious worth
, Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
S sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
. wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
. man of business, the victim of nervous depres
l sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediateand permanent relief from
. the use of this incomparable renovator. To
, those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailiug safe guard
. against that terrible malady. There are many
; perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu-
I tion that they think themselves beyond tho reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. Tho 1
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re- j
:erence to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

A SURE CURE FuR DYSPEPSIA —The history
of this remarkable medicine, and its astonishing
s uccess in obstinate cases of Dyspepsia, Asthma,
and General Debility of the System, places it
among tho most wonderful discoveries in modi

S©“ Coloring Fluids for the
flair are Dangerous,— Prof. Wood’s Haii
Tonic restores the color, not by the nitrate oi
silver process, but by a restoration of the
healthy functions upon which the original and
natural color of the hair and its moisture, its
loss, its life, and consequently its original j
beauty depended. Prof. Wood, at the age of;
thirty seven years, was as grey as a man of
eighty, and his hair vas dry, thjn and dead.
Now he has not a single grey lock upon his,
crown, nor is his hair thin or dry, but soft, pli-,
ablo 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 (buna restored to ihe original color,
whatever it was, while the ends ol the hair are |
gray. Try Wood’s Hair Tonic , and do not ap- j
ply any other till after you have this. Wittr

Washington, D. C., Feb. 7, 1856. /
Sir I have used your Pills in my general am
hospital practice ever since you made them, an
cannot hesitate to say they are the best cathar
tic we employ. Their regulating action on tlu
1 liver is quirk and decided, consequently they art
an admirable remedy for d range ents 01 th t
organ. Indeed, 1 have seldom found ft case 01 \
bilious disease so obstinate that it did not readily j
yield to them. Fratcrnallv, yours,

Dr. Ayer : Your Pills are the perfection of:
medicine. They have done my wife more g odj
than I can tell you. She had been sick and pin
ing away for months. Went off to be doctored
at great expense, but got no better. She then j
commenced taking your pills, which soon cured I
her, by expelling largo quantiti s of worms
(dead) from her body. They afterwards cured
her and our two chi.dren of bloody dysentery.
One of our neighbors hud it bad, and my wife
cured him with two dostt of your pills, while
ot ers around us paid from five to twenty dol
lars doctors’ bills, aud lost much time, without
ting cured ent rely even then. Such a medi
cine a» yours, which is actually good and honest,
will be prized here.

Dr. Ayer— l have used your pills with extra
ordinary success in my family aud among those

are the very best remedy I have ever known,
and I can confidently recommend them to my
friends. Yours, J. V. HIMES.

Her mother has been long grievously mil,etc

Honored Sir--I should be ungrateful for the
relief your skill has brought me it 1 did not re
port my case to you. A cold settled in my
limbs and brought on excruciating neuralgic
pains, which aided in chronic rheumatism.
; Notwithstanding I had the best of physicians,
j ihc disease grew worse and worse, until, by the
advice of your excellent agent in Baltimore, Dr.
Mackenzie.l tried your pills. Their effects were
slow, but sure. By persevering iu the use of
them I am now entirely well.

We need not speak to the public of its virtues.
Throughout every town, and almost overy ham
let of the American States, its wonderful cures
of pulmonary complaints have made it already
known. Nay, few are the families in any civl
ized country on this continent without some
personal experience of its effects ; and lewer yet
the communities any where which have not j
amoug them some living trophy of its victory j
over the subtle and dangerous diseases of the J
| throat and lungs. While it is the most power-;
ful antidote yet known to man for the formula-1
ble and dangerous diseases of the pulmonary j
organs, it Is uiso the pleasantest and safest ri-tu |
edy that can bo employee .or i.dants and young ! |
persons. Parents should have it in store against J
the insidious < neniy that steals upon them un |
prepared. We have abundant grounds 10 be
lieve the Cherry Ptctorul saves more lives by I
the consumptions it prevonts than those itcures. ‘
Keep it by you, and t ure your colds whi e they ’
sre curable, nor neglect them until no human j
skill can master the inexorable canker that, fas j 1
toned on the vitals, eats your life away. All
know the dreadful fatality of lung disorders,
and as they know too the virtues of this reme
dy. we need not do more than to assure them it
is still made the best it can be. We spare no
cost, no care, no toil to produce it the most per
feet possible, and thus afford those who rely ou ;
it the best agent which our skill can furnish for J (
their cure. j
