Scarcely have Dr. Kane and his men drop ped their bear-skins and got comfortably warm before another exploration of the forbidden l e gions of the North is earnestly talked of. The facts and observations of Dr. Kane in reference to the great open sea beyond the ice region, meagre as they necessarily are, have excited great interest among scientific men. What has heretofore been suggested by a few is now con sidered pretty well established- that there is a j vy.. -i vast onen sen at the Korth. comt,encinsc at Afi.Anfl- Si ( nMl,AMtf ovtr.nd.n.r tf T h pole. Dr. Kane testifies that the temperature 1 of the air rose as lie approached the. sea; that I votary ol baa wuisity on w me manuu ..uu. its water was warmer than the ocean further t The next morning Jersey had become sufficient south ; that ducksseala, and heTbifeTotis animals 1 j sobered to have a hearing, and he was takea wrR abnitdant alotiti ai to aoftfit snores, l lie iniereiice i ma IS uot, as we have supposed, the centre of frigidity, btit that the coldest point is some fifteen degrees or more south of it, and that the temperature at the nole is comparatively mild. There is iu this a curious analogy with the fact that the circle of highest heat does not coincide- with the equator, as we should naturally expect, aud as the ancients believed, but more nearly with the belts of the tropics, while the mean annual temperature of the equatorial belt is considera bly below that of the Ibmmer heat of the tropics. - ' ' Various theories are already earnestly" dis cussed by the savans to account for the open sea at the 'ri forth pole. Humboldt long ago suggested that the internal heat of the earth is discharged at the poles. The.questicn is, shall the truth be sought bv another Arctic expedi tion? It will cost treasure, and - probably hu man life, but f curiosity, so -" far ' from being appeased, is only stimulated by the results of previous researches.. It is suggested that, by pursuing a more easterly route many of the perils hitherto encountered would be avoided, aud that with the experience of the past, the voyage might now be undertaken with a fair prospect of safety aud success. Rash and futile as the enterprise appears to prudent men, we nave little doubt that it will be attempted; and by Americans, who will not allow any body to take from them the bouors and rewards of scientific discovery. Springfield Republican.- Hoops! -A resolution has been iutroduced, into the Council of the First Presbyterian Church, Buffalo, requesting the Trustees to re move the posts at the entrance to the grounds, on Maine aud Pearl streets, to a sufficient distance to aiiow ladies wearing hoops to pass through. The width the fair creatures want is not stated.' Eiccatiaa c( Tbrce Murderers. We find in the Lafayctts (Iud.) Courier, of Friday, an account of the execution of tho murderers. Rice, Driskill and Stocking. The Courier says. At ten minutes pnst two o'clock, r. u. Stocking, Rice and Driskill were duly executed by the sheriff, Thomas Jefferson Chissom the first named for the murder of John Rose, and two latter for the murder of Cephas Farreu bautrh. At 12 o'clock they were asked if they -were ready for dinner? Rice replied ''yes, I am hungry." Driskill said thut he wanted "a crood old dinner, as it was the last ; he didn't want to die hungry He remarked to . Rice. we'll jjet supper some where else, Abe." The dinners were brought iu and despatched ; with great heartiness. After dinner, each of them in turn washed aud dressed himself for the final moment.- They could not have made their toilet with more deliberation aud coldness ifi they had been going to a frolic . -Driskill, when washing;, remarked through the - window, . near which he was standing, to some outside, that he was 'getting a good . ready."; In pitting 011 his shirt, Rice discovered that there was a buttou missing, Driskill told him to sew one on Rice replied that he hadn't time. Driskill nonchalantly rejoined that there was "an hour yet." He complimented Rice with looking 'dil starchy." Rice, as he finished, observed "Well, gentlemen, I reckon there was never a willinger soul to die than I ani.' Stocking said nothing, . flut conducted himself (as he did throughout) with great dignity and firmness. The sheriff then proceeded to adjust the fatal ropes.

An Extraordinary Genius. A tall slab sided specimen of a Jcrseyraan, who hailed from some benighted region of tho sandy State, came to the city of Philadelphia lately, and perseveringly going around tasting specimens, he managed to get himself pretty well spirit-logged.

We have before us a huge loaf of bread, baked by steam, at the State Farm School iu Monson. Messrs. IJianchai d & Kimball, of this city,' have, after a course of experiments, made an oven which is successfully heated by steam, and which now does all the baking for the Monsori institution. It is said to bake meats, very finely, and tho bread is certainly baked excellently well. The steam surrounds the oven, and can be main tained at a given temperature with great even ness.. The success - of this experiment would ; seem to show, that large hotels and all public institutions can do nearly every variety of cook ing bv steam. Steak cannot be broiled over live coals nor chesuuts roasted in the ashes by steam, but all the rest, we believe, is provided for.

Hon. Sterling G. Cato, the Territorial Judge, in a recent, let ter to his brother, of Eufaula, Ala., says: "The people here are quiet and orderly, sharp and intelligent ; a little rough in manners, bnt warm hearted and cordial. This is a fine country as any on the face of the earth, and the prohts of its productions would tar exceeo. . tlioe of the cotton fields of the South. All kiuds of grain, grass, clover aud hemp, yield a. rich product. . .1 have no doubt but that slave labor would yield 111. hemp, corn and gram, at least from thirty to forty dollars per acre annu ally. I have seen no poor landf it all seems to me richer than the Chattahoochee bottom, and most of it is just such land as, in the . adjoining - Missouri couuticsjs now selling at from $20 to- $50 per acre.-; Corn is now selling , at twenty cents per. pushel, and the product estimated - at One hundred bushels an- acre: and hemp crop (six tons per hand) at $140 per ton, aud you see at once how labor is more productive hero than at the South. It is impossible to give an adequate idea of the beauty and fertility of the soil and country ; generally rolling,, without a great- deal .of timber, but as I ;. understand, abounding in coal for fires, and stone for build ing, and fencing; good wells f water can .bo obtained anywhere, besides frequent stream miming through the prairies."' - '"
