The Inclined Water Wheel. fjSJ"HIIS valuable improvement, in the opplieatmu -EL of water ower, is now completed audio suc cessful operation al the Cool Spring Mills in this Tow!,. Toe invention was designed to save water in its operation, and thcroby remedy trie diliiculty now existing on account of its scarcity. This wheel will pTlomj the same labor with less than half the water required to drive the till' -wheel, and if ap plied in place of ihe flutter- wheel the saving must le stiil greater. The number of Mills (now in op eration by those wheels) that become scarce of wa ter in the summer, is supposed to average 80 or 00 per cent. Itth -so Mills can be succccst'uily operat ed with iven half the water now required, it is ob vious that the supply of water will bo abundant. The Inclined Water Wheel in its construction can bo pia';cd at any elevation to suit the coiidtiion of the pom-. 1 hereby securing a f,uilicie;il head abov the wheel, which is important to nil im.'lj wber the water is at any tim! liable to become scarce. In this particular I he Inclined water wheel has a decid ed advantage above the Overshut, which recjuires a sufficient fall and constancy of water, and is also expensive in its construction : Whereas, the In clined Water Wheel can be built at much less ex pense can be successfully applied to any mill or machinery that is propelled by water, and will run well in back water. This Wheel is said to rank in power with a high breast wheel, and can be geared with cither cogs or bands, but the latter being con sidered choi.per and more durable, I have adopted them. Having obtained a Patent in December last, I have abstained Irom giving publicity to the inven tion, or offering to sell any Rights, until others, as well as myself, should become satisfied of its advan tages. I am now ready to dispose of the risdit to use sail invention by counties, districts arid States as also sin le rights. M ill wrighfs, Mill owners, ami th'- public generally ure invited to call and ex amine the invention. The machinery, ns represented In the dale above, can be made more simple, by which one half of Ihe expense of construction will bo di minished, hut the amount of water saved will be less. I shall have both modes of construction with a statement of materials for each, printed in hand bills, which I desten for those who wish further in formation on the subject. JOHN T. GILMORE.

KMi AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES a.i discov eries in Ihe IVesl. lu Uoss county, near Chill icolhe, Oliio, n few joui.s since, was found, in the hnud of n skeleton, which lay buried in a small r.outie!, mi oriiameut of pitioitud ; this cm iosily, U is .-aid,' id now in the museum at Philadelphia. The tumuli, in nh;il is called the Sciota coun try, nre both numerous iind interesting. Lut South ofLake Erie, until wo arrive at Worth infrton, nine miles not in of Cohmibiis, they ate few ill number, and of comparatively small magnitude?. Near Coluinbtia, tho .eat of govertwnenl in Ohio, were several mounds, one of which stoop on an einiueni o in the principal s-treel, which has been entirely re- . inov;u and 1:011 vert:il into bi ieU. It contain- , cd human bones, souk few articles, iimoiig which was an owl, carved in tdoue, n mdo but very exact representation. Tho owl, among tho Humaus, was the emblem of wis dom, and it is not impossible bat the ancients of the West, may have carved it in the stone for the same leason ; who may have been, in pat!, Romans, or nations derived from them, or nations acquainted with their manners, their gods, and their sculpture, as we suppose (he Dane were. n another patt of the towu of Columbus, was a tuinulud of clay, which was aUo manufactured into brick. In this were many human bones ; but thoy lay iu piles und in confusion, which would seem tt elicit the beliff, that these were the bones of an enemy, or they would have been laid in; their accustomed order. Or they may have been the bones of the conquered, thrown to gether iu a confused manner, aud buried be- ' ncaih this mound. As we stiil descend the Sciota, through a most fertile region of couutiy, mounds and other ancient works', frequently appear, uutil we arrive at Circleviile. Near tho eeutre of the circular foit nt Citeioville, was u tumulus of earth, about ten feet high, and several rods in diameter nt its base. On its eastoru Fide, and extending six rods from it was a semi circular pavement, composed of lobbies such as are found in thu bed of the fcs iutu iver, frorr. wheuce they appear to havc;een taken. The summit of this ttimulon was iipaily nine ty feet iu ciicurnfereuce, with a raised way tj it, leadiug from the east, iike a modern turn pike. The eu.Tinit was level. The outline o the semicircular pavement, nnd the wall, ore still discernible. Mr Alwater waa pre sent wheti this mound was removed and care fully - examined the contents it developed. They were as follows : 1. Two skeletons, lying on what had been the original surface of the earth. 2. A great quantity of arrow head?, some of which were so large as to in duce a belief that they were used for ppear heads. 3. The handle, either of a pmall sword, or a large knife, made of nn elk's horn; around the end where tho blade had been in serted, wa a ferule of silver, which, though black, was not much injured by time ; though the handle showed the hole where the blade had been inserted, yet uo iron was found, but an oxyde or rust remained, of similar shape aud size. The swords of the ancient nations of the old world, it is known, were very short. 4. Charcoal, aud wood ashes, ou which those aiticles lay, were surrounded by several bricks vcrv wei! burnt. The skeleton appeared to have been burnt in a large and very hot fire, which had almost consumed the bones of the deceased. This skeleton was deposited a lit tle to the south of the centre of the tumulus; aud about twenty feet north of it was another, with which was found a large mirror, about three feet iu leugth, one foot and a half in width, and one inch and a half iu thickness ; thia was of isinglass. On thin mirror was a plate of iron, which had become an oxyde, but before it was dis turbed ly the pade, resembled a plate of cast irou. The mirror answered the purpose very well for which it was intended-. This skele ton had also been burned like the former, aud lay on cha coal and a considerable quautity of wood ashes ; b part of ihe mirror i- iu pos session of M r At water, as is also a piece of brick, taken fiorn the spot at the time. To the southwest of this tumulus, about forty rods from it, i? another, more than ninety feet in height. It stands on a largo hill, which ap pears to be artificial. This must have been Ihe common ceinetry, ns it contains nu im mense number of human skeleton, of all sizes ami ues. These frkedutous are laid c hoiizoutally, with their heads generally to wards the centre, aud the feet towards the out sides ol the tuinulu. Iu it have been found, besides these skeletons, stone axes and stone knives, and several ornaments, with holea through them, by means ol which, with a cord passing through these perforations, they could be worn by their owDers round the neck. Progress of refinement. A young woman, ou meetiug a foimer fellow servant, wjn asked how she liked her new place. " Very well." " Then you've nothing to com plaio of." " Nothing, only my master and mistress talks such werry bad grammar." The origin of the phrase " mind yoitr P's and Q's," i said to have been a call of atten tion in the old English ale house to the pints and quarts being scored down fo tbe uncon scious or reckless beer bibber.

Extract of a ... letter funn ludy in Wnshiugton, to herifieuii iu filacou, Geoigia: Washington, Dec. 24, 1843. I went the other day, accompanied by a party of friends, over to Georgetown, and visited tho Convent. We were permitted through the influence of Gen. Hernandez, of I' lor iila, who has a daughter in this ItHa't'ttu Hon at echool, to go all through. We beerna acquainted with several of the Sisters - nurl really, Nuus are not tho gloomy creatures I J had imagined. They were t hettful and plea sant. Mum; ol them prelly. Wo were re ceived into a park, divided by iron grating, like a prison; beyond this grating tho Nir n-if come. After waiting a few minute:?, two of-fifo sisters presented themselves, nttTitiJ "' ns Nuus very neat with the black veil pinned on most gtaeefully. A cumbroua looking door was unlocked with a huge key, that one of the sisters took from her pocket; we were admitted, tlw t3or t clocked, and the key deposited in the srsler' pocket. Each wore a thick, massive silver cross. We were conducted to their Chapal one of tho richest,, and most beautiful I ever saw. The altar was magnificent; iu an oratory, of tho most f' sumptuous character, stood a beautiful staple of the Virgin Wary, with the most costly orna ments, thrown in the finest taste about hetv Crosses aro hung iu every direction that you can turn your eye, jvitu the Saviour suspended upon them. These kind of imogea the Nuns never passed without crossing fheinseives. . The momont we came beforo tue j"ta, fbey would prostrate themselves in the nioJj humbie mannor. "n They hare a number of oratories, and tBe representations of the Virgin are most beauti ful. Wo wcietakeu to Iho Cells of Ihe Nmia each of which contained nu image ciF 'the Virgin, a crucifix and vase of holy' water. The neatness and order of the whole, was as tonishing. I never, in the co,ise of my iifer saw such exquisitely whito lloors. The sys tem of the institution is most extfaoidijisry the re is n pluee for every thing oi'l 1', . thing is in its place.
